    This place was so cute! Came here for the first time. Love the space. Clean bathrooms! Service was on point! Very attentive which I appreciated! The food was ok. The portions weren't impressive but "just enough". The chai latte with oat milk was probably the best thing I had here. I'm open to trying it again and trying something new on the menu! Overall, not a bad first impression.

    Still one of my favorite neighborhood spots for breakfast and brunch -- such friendly service and cozy atmosphere.

    Each time I've been here I have received good service. The wait time has always been very reasonable and the mood of the location has always been pleasant. I'd say the best way to describe the atmosphere that I've witnessed is that most patrons I've encountered have usually chosen this restaurant as a place to meet family or friends to catch up on lost time. I'd say that, that makes for an enjoyable dining experience. One thing I unfortunately have to note, is that the food has always been average. It absolutely has never been bad, but it's never been anything special to where I'd ever go out of my way to come here again. To say it best, if you are looking for a good place for breakfast or lunch and you want to sit down and enjoy a meal with company, Blackberry Bistro is a decent place for anyone to accomplish just that. 3/5

    Prawn and grits.
    Desmond R.

    Blackberry Bistro never disappoints! Today I had the prawn and grits. Absolutely delicious. It's a small restuarant, but they easily accomodated my party of big guys. Great service, good portions, excellent prices. This is a must try when in Oakland.

    Nice breakfast, loved the dirty chai in the large saucer. The chai was creamy with nice touch of cinnamon. The breakfast food was pretty good. Service was fast and friendly.

    Tried out this spot for the first time, experienced a bit of a wait (party of 6) but nothing a mimosa can't fix! Food was very tasty, all dishes came out from the kitchen at the same time. The jam (blackberry I believe? ) took the gold medal for me it was delish on a piece of toast.

    Hidden gem off Park blvd in Oakland . Sister decided on this place after seeing it on tv. Small spot on the corner with seating outside if want . Greeted by everyone upon entering . Great decor on the walls . We had a party of 7 so it was a big group. They put a few tables together to accommodate us. Upon sitting menu's were handed out . Breakfast and lunch is available on the menu with a few tasty looking items . Different items were ordered as we would share and try it out as this was our 1st time here. Food came out hot and we were impressed like I said it was 7 of us at the table . I must say that the buttery French toast was a hit !! The best I've ever had and I had to thank the owner and chef personally !! Overall family enjoyed the meals that were made and will return with other family members to enjoy this place . I will share pics of some of the items we shared . Can't wait for next time

    So delicious every time I come here. It's one of the last places where they actually serve water in a glass cup instead of plastic cups. I had to California florentine breakfast with added regular bacon. Oatmilk latte was on point as well.

    Great food but Yelp is not letting me write my long, positive review! Please try this place it's amazing

    Stopped by Mohka House in Oakland and honestly really liked it. The spot is owned and run by two…read morebrothers, which gives it a chill, personal vibe. We went mainly for drinks and tried a latte, tiramisu latte, and a Spanish latte. The tiramisu latte and Spanish latte were both really good and definitely my favorites. Smooth, flavorful, and not overly sweet. You can tell the coffee quality is solid. We also tried the matcha drinks in vanilla and strawberry. I liked the strawberry matcha more. It comes unsweetened, so I asked for it to be sweetened and it was great after that. The vanilla matcha was fine too, just not my top pick. They're also dropping a new Ramadan drink soon, a date latte, which sounds really good and I'll probably come back just to try that. Overall, great drinks and a nice place to hang out.

I loved the ambiance, it felt we was in another country. The place was packed I have no idea where everyone parked haha. Very hard to find parking. The Adeni Chai I had was wonderful and I would get again. The lemon pastries I had were good & I would possibly get again. Both cheese pastries & meat pocket I didnt care for so much. I undetstand they are an acquired taste but me being Middle Eastern we have our own versions and I think that's why I didn't like as much. I would definitely go back and try more sweet pastries. They had a large selection I couldn't try them all haha. I would love to try more tea and coffee options as well. Go and try out several different pastries and discover what you like. It's cheaper than buying an airplane ticket to try another countries culture and delights. They also have outside seating which is especially nice on a beautiful day. Pro tip: take an Uber if you can. Parking is hard to get.

Ordered the Ginger Honey Jobani as a hot drink, Biscoff Milkcake, Honeycomb, and a Beef Fatayer. There were several kinds of milkcakes which would have the texture like a tres leches cake. The Honeycomb had pockets of cream cheese and was drizzles with honey. The Meat Fatayer is like an empanada. The food and drink were very tasty.
