If you're looking for a cozy American diner, this is a great spot!! I had never been here before but something about it felt so nostalgic. I got riccota pancakes, 2 bacon, and one egg. The egg was scrambled perfectly and the pancakes were served with real maple syrup. The pancakes were soo good! I got the citrus sauce with it and it was a refreshing zesty addition to my morning.I'm sore of a picky coffee drinker and the coffee did not disappoint. I had at least 3 refills. My girlfriend got breakfast tacos and WOW they were loaded up. Yeah the overall price for breakfast was a bit high, but I think everything is nowadays. Considering the food quality, service, and location I think the prices are fair. My partner and I will definitely be back in the future :)

This place is awesome. Old school diner with an expansive menu, and most things are under $20. The lattes are tall and priced right. Food comes out quickly, hot and flavorful. Service is friendly. The vibe is relaxed, nothing fancy. You can look into the kitchen and watch them make your food. Love this lil diner. Not sure why the rating here is less than four stars; should be more.

The Marionberry Ricotta Special is an excellent choice. The Marionberry syrup was delicious! The pancakes were fluffy and warm. No additional maple syrup was need. The eggs were cooked to perfection. The bacon was freshly seasoned and crispy! Worth the price!

The Rockridge Cafe has the best breakfasts in Oakland! We have been consistently impressed with their breakfast and lunch menus! Yesterday we shared their ricotta pancakes and their homemade chicken salad platter! Both were delicious. We never had ricotta pancakes before snd we were impressed by how the cheese added a delightful subtle flavor and their chicken salad was perfectly prepared with just a hint of mayonnaise! Whenever we're in Rockridge, we love returning to the Rockridge Cafe!

We were greeted by DanServed by MargeService all together was great. Ambiance was homely. Basic cafe.Food was basic, no thrills. I don't think it was worth the price for simple breakfast, but, with prices soaring I can't be upset. The food is definitely fresh. The scone tasted like cornbread not really my idea of a scone. The coffee is fresh and hot and Marge made sure my cup stayed full. Definitely would like to try other menu options

We tried this Oakland cafe on a nice Sunday morning. Meh.I have the Marion Berry Ricotta special, which I was excited to try. Two small pancakes, one egg, and two strips of bacon. Not much value for this $20 meal. The pancakes were fine. They didn't bring much flavor beyond a normal pancake. My sunny-side-up egg was undercooked. Coffee was good (as expected in the Bay Area).Ambiance is the American breakfast diner. Service was good.I would not choose to eat here again.

Great place to start your weekend!It is a local casual cafe, great for a cozy brunch. Food is homey and simply amazing and tasty. Tacos are delicious. Service is reasonably quick and you may seat yourself most often and there are inside or outside options. Portions are generous and shareable.

The company I work for bought us lunch and I got a turkey club, I began to eat and had a weird taste in my mouth. So I investigated the insides and found some sort or putrid material they called "turkey". I was then made so sick I threw up and couldn't eat for the rest of the day or the next
