First time at this place, recommended by a coworker of mine. Safe to say I wasn't disappointed. Off the bat, good friendly service and the inside gave me Lake Tahoe diner vibes. The food was good and definitely hit the spot. My friend and I shared each other meals so I was able to try the corned beef hash which I ordered for myself and her eggs blackstone. Both were delicious and having me wanting to come back for more and to try other things on the menu. We ended the meal by splitting a dozen silver dollar pancakes. These were really good, I thought it would be tough by the look of it but it was nice and fluffy. Perfect with butter and syrup. Overall this place is great so far and has become part of my Berkeley brunch list rotation. The only downside I would say is parking. Had to park about 2 blocks away and around 4-5 blocks away are a lot of homeless encampments. But that's becoming the norm in the Bay Area...

I came to Lama Beans Cafe I think it was twice while living in the Albany area (2016 to 2019, inclusive), one time with family (my mom and my dad) and one time with family and friends. In terms of occasions, it was one I came to with my mom and a few friends to celebrate my 26th birthday. The layout had a large main room and smaller room(s) off to the side. In terms of acoustics, the smaller room was better for conversation.Ordering was walk up and place your order, get some water, and they would bring the food to the table when it was ready. Workers were warm in demeanor. Food was tasty and a moderate serving size. Leftovers we were able to take without much of a hassle, though waiting for a box could take a little bit depending on how busy the workers were.

Lama Beans Cafe is a restaurant I've passed by throughout my life but was never drawn to. My friend spoke highly of the options and affordable cost, so on a breakfast whim I chose to take my cousin and me here.The restaurant is unassuming inside and outside--open seating for small and larger groups plus tables outdoors. For breakfast and lunch it's counter service. Order and pay and your items are brought to you while water is self-serve. The vibes are quite casual and neighborhood-like like with service being friendly and efficient.For brunch, I got the Organic Tofu Scramble. The dish came with toast, home fries, and their trio of sauces. Portions were nicely sized for the price. I felt that the tofu scramble could've been seasoned more and some parts of the dish tasted a bit flat, so that's when the sauces did the saving. My cousin had the Country Omelet and said it hit the spot.For those in Berkeley looking for a no-frills neighborhood spot, Lama Beans Cafe is adorable and has decent food. The restaurant is located off Gilman St. with street parking in the area. Not sure if I'll be back anytime soon but I'm glad to have tried it.

The food, the people, the service! This was my first time coming to this restaurant but my family has come many times when they are in the area. The people that work there are so kind and welcoming. There were 10 of us in my party and they were able to accommodate us. The inside isn't huge and they were quite busy for a weekday. All of us loved our meals and enjoyed trying each other's meals. The coffee is good and unlimited too. I would definitely come back to this restaurant again!

I ordered the tofu scramble. It comes with pesto seasoned tofu "eggs", potatoes and sourdough. The eggs were good because they mix them with pesto and walnuts. The rest was basic and unmemorable. I did like that you order up front, take a number and then go sit while they bring your food. The ambiance is super casual, friendly and service is good.
