Marti's Place

Marti's is a sleeper.We met friends here @ 11:30 on a Saturday and there was hardly anyone there. It was so awesome not to stand around waiting for breakfast.My husband's avocado omelette was gorgeous, delicious, and perfectly cooked (I worked at a diner/breakfast joint a long time ago... I recognize perfect omelette). My friend had a breakfast burrito with crispy bacon, salsa inside and on the side. It was monstrous and delicious (she took 2/3 home). My breakfast sandwich A (a Monte Cristo-esque sandwich with grilled pineapple) was fantastic as were the potatoes. Our kiddos shared a waffle with berries and a side of fruit. The decaf was hot, the oj was fresh.The ambiance could use a little help, but the food and service more than made up for it. The service was WONDERFUL!!! We'll be back.Thanks Marti's!!!

Let's say - yes. I like it. The food is good and the staff is very nice. It's a cute little place tucked away in alameda.. a good menu and law tubing room for you and your family. Just say yes.

Very cute place, perfect for breakfast. My friend and I split the Stockholm Swedish pancake and the equivalent of the Monte Cristo sandwich. So delicious! And it was so satisfying to be able to try two different items. Good coffee, fast and efficient service. Love this place and will definitely be back!!

Home style breakfast in a cozy cafe offering both American and Mexican breakfasts!Service was fast and incredibly friendly. It felt like I was going over to a family member's house for breakfast. I'd highly recommend Marti's Scramble for anyone wanting a hearty breakfast! The portion was large and it was packed with fresh tasting ingredients. The potatoes were a home run for me as well. I look forward to coming back!

My partner and I were impressed with Marti's place.. a downhome atmosphere... cute eclectic art on the wall, very friendly people especially Elena, and Alfredo the bus boy. Elena recommended her favorite dish from the menu is the chilaquiles. Alfredo was trying to explain to us how it is made. I definitely agree.Now we know how one of their dishes is made with fresh fried tortillas and homemade green sauce. We were grateful that Alfredo shared how they made Chilaquiles! Thank you Elena and alfredo... again excellent service...

I always love coming here as it is very hometown and plain old generous servings of food and good coffee and service. They have a menu of different types of breakfasts choices. However this is the place for Swedish pancakes. I always order the # 1 Hungry Swede to include 2 Swedish pancakes, 2 eggs, choice of sausage or crispy bacon. The ambiance is quite enough to have a decent conversation with yelling. Service is friendly. They also had freshly baked Snickerdoodle cookies at the cash register, but too full to get any this time.

This was my second time coming here with my mom, the first time was good and we decided to come back again since all the other places were packed. The food is average with all the other breakfast/brunch places in town, but I will say the portions are a bit smaller for the same prices around town. I ordered a breakfast burrito while my mom ordered their salmon omelette. I added spinach to my burrito seeing as it didn't come with any sort of vegetable (which is fine), but when it came to the bill, it was an additional $4 for a small amount of spinach. Normally when i ask for some sort of vegetable as an add on it's $1-2, so $4 is kind of outrageous... if it was additional meat that price would be more appropriate.

As a local to Alameda, I have been to just about every breakfast spot. It had been over a decade since i last went with no real memory of my last visit so I went with my fiancé who had never been. First thing we noticed was EVERY item that includes some form of EGG in it is now +1.50. we actively trying to save money so this was kind of a shock as no other local breakfast or brunch spots are doing this to my knowledge. She ordered the French Toast (which we forgot uses egg) and it came out to be 2 very thing slices of wonder bread with barely any browning on it. they were floppy for how thing they were and they mostly tasted of unseasoned or sweetened egg which lead me to believe it was just egg dipped bread. The base price is $9.99 and you get two small sausage links. Our French Toast came with no powdered sugar like i see in some reviews and then the waitress asked us if we would like syrup. Seemed like a no brainer for this naked FT. Usually restaurants just serve you syrup with your pancakes and FT. She left very disappointed having paid $11.50 and still leaving quite hungry. We will not be coming back and I wanted to warn people about the massive up charge BEFORE you sit down and have to contemplate getting up.

This was one of the worst dining experiences my husband and I have had in recent past. The food quality is scary low. Word to the wise: if you come here, BYOS (bring your own syrup). We came in on a weekend for brunch, and it was almost entirely empty, which is a red flag for Alameda brunch spots. The prices are insane. I ordered an avocado omelette, which was small, came with a very small portion of home fries, and contained a glob of sour cream, some Swiss cheese, and about four thin slices of avocado (I'd guess it's a quarter of an avocado at most), and that was $19! My husband ordered a burger and then we also shared a short stack of pancakes and our check was $70. If the food had been good and/or generous portions, maybe that could be overlooked, but the portions were tiny, and the food was absolutely awful. Everything had this weird smell. It honestly makes me cringe to think back at it because the smell was really unsettling, like it was giving human flesh or something. I don't know why I'm saying that because I've never smelled a dead body, but for some reason, I just think that's what it would smell like. When I noticed it, I was trying to figure out if it was my husband's burger, the pancakes or my omelette. And then I realized that all of them smelled like it. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to spoil his appetite, but on the ride home, we both unleashed about how bad everything was and I don't remember if it was he or I who brought up the smell, but we both had noticed it on everything. I asked for my home fries extra crispy and they certainly were not. His burger was spongy, bland and just so weird. It didn't seem like beef whatsoever... Like a McDonald's patty tasted more like beef than whatever this thing was. Everything was super bland. The pancakes had virtually no taste. Even my raisin toast was bland (and cold and burnt yet somehow still soggy). I asked for jam for my toast and they brought me a virtually empty store-bought jar of jam that had this little spoon in it. It was so unhygienic, that after I spread a little bit on my toast and thought about how unhygienic it was, I couldn't keep eating my toast. My husband asked for more jam because the jar was literally empty, and he was hoping they would bring us a fresh one, but they did not. The weirdest part about everything was the syrup. It was extremely clear that they water it down, no question about that, but we wondered whether the original product was actually even maple syrup. The color is really light and the consistency is so thin that it doesn't stay on anything. My guess is that they are using the absolute lowest quality pancake syrup available and then diluting it 50% water. It was just so clear that they were using the lowest quality food possible and trying to save money wherever they could, that it was downright unsettling. It seems like a humble mom n pop establishment, so I hate to tear it a new one like this, but I honestly question the food safety there and I have to be honest about that... how can a small omelet with cheese and a couple shavings of avocado cost $19? I get egg prices have gone up, but that's insane. And watering down pancake syrup? How much money are they saving by doing that, at the expense of their customers?

Ana amazing place to have a quiet breakfast! Coffee was out of this world! I ordered avocado toast, it didn't disappoint. The amazing staff member who served us was very patient with me as I didn't know what to choose! She checked on us multiple times! Way to go for customer satisfaction. A hidden gem in Alameda and must visit!
