The food is always delicious, and the staff is so kind! Last time I went, I was feeling a little sick at the time, and the waitress offered me lemon tea and treated me like I was family. Always a great experience! #GoldenBirthday

Loyal Customer Since High School Still the Best Mac and Cheese Around!I've been a loyal fan of Homeroom since my high school days, back when their Oakland location first captured my heart. Over the years, I've tried so many of their flavors, and the magic of this place is that everything tastes amazing. No matter which mac you choose, you're in for something special!The Berkeley location deserves a special shoutout. I love that this location is close to me and how spacious it is. The service is always friendly, and the space feels so inviting--it's the perfect spot to enjoy some comfort food.My go-to macs are the Buffalo Mac, Chicken Pot Pie Mac, and Elote Mac (extra amazing with chorizo!). Adding to that, I love how customizable everything is, and it's easy to see why Homeroom is still my favorite. Consistently delicious, comforting, and worth every visit!I always bring my friends from out of town to check this place out and I will be continuing to do so

I was contacted by the manager at Homeroom after leaving my initial review just a day ago, and she attempted to make up for the not-so-positive experience I recently had. I didn't need any apology or freebies, to give the business another chance, but the effort alone showed me that they really care about their customers and resolving problems, and hold a high standard for their business, vowing to improve both the service and the product.So I thought it was only fair that I update my review. That kind of effort and dedication deserves 5 stars.

Was welcomed as soon as I entered. Seated immediately. Service was fair. Stronger at the start, but once I received my ordered, I was left unattended. The plates are a whopping portion size. The gluten free elbows are tiny, and the vegan cheese sauce was a bit runny so eating with fork didn't quite cut it, when I finally flagged someone down and requested a spoon, I was able to dig in. I added broccoli, spinach, jalapeños and tomato. The added veggies were pretty scarce, especially the jalapeño.The dish was piping hot, and I really enjoyed the flavor or the cheese sauce for a vegan version. Hoping service is a bit better next time, and now I know to order dbl or triple veggies in order to get my dish to my exact desires.Happy I stopped in and will return. It's great to have a place to enjoy vegan + gluten food. Huge dining room and big bar. Prices are fair.

The bacon brussel sprouts were good. They looked burnt but didn't taste burnt. The kogi Mac and the chicken pot pie were good. The portion is large. I took my leftovers home and enjoyed it later for a snack. My boyfriend thought the chicken pot pie tasted more like a pasta than a Mac and cheese.I wish they had a Mac flight so I could try all the flavors.

Pleaseeee try the cheddar jalapeño biscuit. Maybe I'm just a sucker for carbs, but this was my favorite thing I ate here. The biscuit is warm and fluffy and is served with a sweet butter which makes for a delightful combo. The jalapeño flavor could be stronger.The mac and cheese was pretty good, as well. Points for the concise but considerable menu. I would appreciate some way to sample or order a small portion of the limited edition macs--I wanted to try both the BBQ and Hawaiian macs, but was afraid I would get tired of the flavor after a few bites. I ordered the elote mac, and my boyfriend ordered the garlicky bacon mac with grilled chicken. The garlicky bacon mac was definitely more cheesy, but felt a tad bit salty and missing something to offset the smoky flavor. I really enjoyed the sweetness of the corn and tang of the lime in the elote mac. The portion size is pretty reasonable for the price--we ended up with leftovers, about 40% of the mac.The only thing that left me wishing for something more was the temperature the mac was served at. It was warm, but I was expecting it to be piping hot. The mac is not baked, maybe broiled for a couple of minutes on top. The "homeroom" concept is cute, complete with lockers and all. Place was pretty empty when we went on a Friday around 6 pm.

I had actually heard of Homeroom through a podcast interview with the founder Erin Wade, and was surprised they were based out of the Bay Area so we decided to check it out. We ordered an elote bowl as a starter and a BBQ pulled pork mac and cheese, but unfortunately the elote bowl came after the mac and cheese. for the elote bowl, the corn was soft and sweet and had great tasting cheese and pepper powder. The BBQ pulled pork was quite good as well, nice and cheesy and the pulled pork was decentOverall a great place to go if you're craving mac and cheese!

Crab mac n cheese - generous amounts of crab but too tart and heavy. I would come back to try their truffle mac.
