Piedmont Cafe & Bakery

Pros:Tasty patty melt on ryePerfectly good coffeeNo KOIT soft rock on the speakersFriendly service No junk feesCons:Unskilled service - nobody checked on meI had to ask for water and coffee refills from another waitress The waitress left my dirty dishes in front of me for a long timeShe ignored me while taking care of the table next to me.Former waitress here: You need to be aware of all the customers and don't get tunnel vision. You need to always have something in your hands instead of ignoring customers while walking by empty-handed.

This is a great gem in Oakland to grab breakfast, lunch, donut and coffee! Food: 5/5I got a sausage breakfast burrito and it was superb! Loaded with egg and sausage, good amount of cheese, and definitely was filling! The coffee was delicious also!Customer service: 5/5Our servers were very nice. Quick to refill the drinks and take your order. Price: 5/5 The price is extremely reasonable for the food and the quality. Parking: 2-3/5It's street parking and it is a busy road. There is also free street parking on some of the side streets.This was a great little neighborhood find on a charming street. You can enjoy a little walk on the street afterward also!

Cute little local Asian owned diner. Came with the fam because I'm worn out after 3 days with my little ones and didn't want to cook or clean for another meal. There is one lady doing it all up front but she was efficient and took our orders and gave us metal cups, not glass which was much appreciated with my kids here. The pancake special comes with two long pieces of bacon and we got two fried eggs which was perfect to split for my kids. The husband got the fried egg sandwich and I got the croissant sandwich with ham. The food here is decent and the bacon was crispy and not swimming in grease. I liked that the fried eggs were also not oily. The pancakes were also not too small or gigantic. Food came out with a decent time and my coffee was made to order. Great local place on Piedmont Ave and I would definitely come back with a book sans kids to just relax and have a leisurely breakfast or lunch another time.

This has been my partner and I's go-to diner every weekend for the past few years. I can't recommend it here enough, the food is always delicious with very quick and attentive service. The prices are extremely reasonable as well. It is a cozy classic diner vibe that always makes me feel at home.

Good classic diner, asian owned! This place is no frills, unfussy, has been in the neighborhood for ages. Neighborhood locals and families pop by for a good eat. Love the cozy atmosphere of regulars chatting with the waitresses, bonus donuts displayed for purchase, and the extensive menu of getting pretty much everything you could ever want.Note: This place is NOT an IG influencer spot with cute decor, or a 'vibey' place for a first date.We ordered the #3 (3 egg, bacon, sausage, hash browns and a waffle), and a sausage breakfast burrito w/ salsa on the side. More than enough food for two, took half the burrito home for the next day. Great service from staff, no wait. Steady refills on hot coffee. Looking forward to coming by again for breakfast

Good for basic breakfast. Diner vibe. Friendly service. Causal neighborhood vibe. Reasonable prices.

I wish I could have checked it on the Yelp before going into the store. Customer service was terrible. The lady was super rude. I asked her just to make me a cappuccino and she thought I just wanted a coffee and showed like a grumpy attitude just handed me the worst coffee ever, and then she gave me wrong size like a size larger without even telling me and then she started charging like OK I made you a large coffee but I was like I asked for the small one, but we don't have a small so you should have let Customer know that we don't have the desired size. What do you want us to do, very poor customer service

We were pleasantly surprised by this little cafe! We were looking for a full breakfast not just coffee and donuts. The food was DELICIOUS. Freshly made with the kind of seasonings I would use at home. The service was very friendly as we were greeted as we walked in the door and we were offered recommendations as to what to order. The Piedmont Cafe is a very quaint coffee house with good home made food. Eggs Benedict were served on Canadian bacon on English muffin with a very delicious hollandaise sauce poured on top. The taste of the country potatoes was very good with an herb seasoning (oregano,thyme flavors). The Pancake fanatic breakfast with very fluffy pancakes and crispy yet fluffy potatoes were very good!

Feels like home. Simple, delicious diner style breakfast. No frills. What more can you ask for? Service is lovely.I'll definitely be coming back.

First time coming here and loved it! It's a quiet place with great food at affordable prices with exceptional service. My food came out within 5-10 mins of ordering and their bakery items all looked great as well. I highly recommend trying the Croissant'wich with egg, cheese, and avocado. We also had the Crab Cake Benedict and it was delicious. I can't wait to go next time to try more of their menu. Speaking of menu, I noticed most of the menu shots on Yelp are all super outdated so I thought I'd post the latest menu, inside, etc. Enjoy and check them out for yourselves!
