This is a great place for breakfast and sandwiches. We often go for weekend brunch, which can become a bit of a wait if you get a late start. Getting there before noon is usually not an issue. Their back patio is lovely, when it is open.My partner loves the oatmeal waffle and oatmeal pancake with fresh house-made blueberry sauce, which is usually his go-to. Their vegetarian benedicts are terrific with great flavor combinations and well cooked eggs. Lately, I have been a huge fan of the turkey pesto melt, which has house-roasted delicious turkey.Service is a little thin, post-pandemic, but they are making it work juggling the online orders and full tables of customers. As always, the servers are pleasant.

This places serves one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. Hot fresh and chunky, and the salsa goes so well with it. I also really enjoy the French toasts they have here. I think their cappuccino and passion fruit smoothie are pretty great as well.Whenever possible, ask to go sit in the back. Their cute little back garden area is so cozy, and great for a lazy weekend morning/afternoon hang.

I love this place. The service is friendly and the food tastes homemade. I really loved my scramble that had chicken apples sausage and green onions. The pancakes are huge and can easily be shared with your party if you're craving something sweet to go with your eggs. We ordered the blueberry with blueberry sauce.

First time ordering. I actually stay up the hill like 5 minutes from here but decided to DoorDash still because I have no interest in going anywhere in Oakland - I'm only here for work during the week. I ordered the pancake combo which comes with eggs and bacon. For DoorDash at least it was $1.50 extra for their homemade blueberry jam and a basic prepackaged maple syrup as pictured. One, I think those should be free with my pancakes /shrug so I'm docking a star there. Food was pretty standard, nothing too special, nothing bad. So 4 stars minus 1 for charging me for something that should be free. Good portions for price. I might try it again but other menu items. Only good thing about Oakland is the abundance of Resteraunts. So you gotta be a REAL banger to stand out and have my attention for repeat orders.

We used to live up the hill from here so it was on the rotation for weekend brunches. I always get the oatmeal pancake, which is equally huge and delicious. And super filling - even in the kid's size. The blueberry compote goes great with it too.The rest of the food is standard diner fare and although satisfying, I never can stray from that pancake. They sometimes offer coffee if you check-in, so check Yelp while you're there!

This is one of my neighborhood favorites for brunch. I love me a wholesome turn and burn breakfast spot. I worked in restaurants for many years and serving brunch is tough! The focus is on taking orders and getting the food out. There's no time to go above and beyond when you're busy. So if you're going out to be waited on hand and foot, this isn't the spot. That said, all of the servers are sooo sweet and lovely. The restaurant itself is pretty small and has diner vibes. There are a few tables outside also which is great. All of that said, the potatoes escapade keep me coming back! Goodness, if you like cheese and potato's, this is a game changer. They are literally home fries loaded with cheese, pesto, salsa, and sour cream with a fried egg on top. It's a delicious stand alone breakfast or easily shared if you want to try more options. I ordered a chicken apple sausage scramble and added tomatoes and it was also cheesy and delicious. It was only $1 to sub fruit and the fruit was so fresh and a nice variety. It had banana, strawberry and two types of ripe melon. They have an espresso bar with yummy drinks, they make smoothies and they offer bottomless mimosas!! Honestly, I'm a fan!

Consistently very good food and service. I've been eating her for decades, though not for a while now. Just the same as always. Very good Hollandaise, eggs cooked perfectly; tasty potatoes (Xtra crisp). Never been big fan of their coffee.

The food is incredible! I have gotten the fried chicken waffle both times I have been and it is soooooo delicious! I have had it with the homemade blueberry sauce and regular maple syrup and both are super yummy! I love the waffle and the way the chicken is fried (light, not too much batter, not greasy). It is really nice they give 2 eggs with it also. Their potatoes are soooo good too, I love whatever spices they use. It is a super cute cafe, and I love the outdoor tables (only 2) and the bay window tables! The employees are very friendly and nice! I love this place!

Walked in for breakfast around 10:30am- ish on a Saturday, for 2 people, and were seated right away! (Surprised because if it was busier there's not a ton of seating inside or outside, but also looked like they fulfill a lot of to-go orders).Service was initially slow but once our order was in, everything came out really quickly! Servers refilled our coffee a few times and were attentive if you did ask for/need something. The food was overall decent - your classic American breakfast. Portions are solid. *Lu's breakfast - rate 4/5 - French toast was pretty good but for me, not quite on that custard buttery/sweet level. Syrup definitely helped. Scrambled eggs and bacon were what you'd expect. *Meat Lover's Benedict - 5/5 - meat ratio was good, eggs poached well, and overall just good tasting Benedict.*Grilled potatoes (side) - 4/5- they were not like other breakfast potatoes that are baked/fried on all sides. We think they added some dill and there's a small side of sour cream. Softer than more crispy/crunchy pieces. Overall good flavor. For the food plus coffee and a Diet Coke, it was ~ $45. Would come back again for a quick/classic breakfast!
