Humble restaurant with good food. I have been here before and have tried a few of their breakfast. In this visit, we bought beignet as niece was craving. It was satisfying. Crisps on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. read more

Break Your Fast - Beignet - American Near Me - Union City, California

Cute local brunch spot! Came for a birthday party and they accommodated our group of 8 on a Sunday. Staff is attentive, cozy and homey feel. Well-maintained restaurant. Affordable pricing for delicious food! Got the chicken & waffles and country fried steak lunch. CHICKEN & WAFFLES: really great waffles. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Fried chicken was not too dry and was flavorful COUNTRY FRIED STEAK LUNCH: the gravy is a bit salty but the salad balanced it out well. The salad dressing was a basic olive oil balsamic vinaigrette. The fries were thin and crispy My boyfriend and I got there early and ordered a mimosa for the birthday girl, which our waitress told us to just give us a signal and she would bring out. Our waitress was kind enough to also bring out some treats for the birthday girl: dessert beignets! Would recommend!! read more

Great breakfast spot located on the outskirts of strip mall across from the Union City Bart. Outdoor seating was perfect for the dog. I loved that they had music playing outside. A variety of genres. Food portions were a good size for the price. Brought the dog a bowl of water without asking, which was really nice. Staff was friendly and food came out within 10 minutes of ordering. Definitely a spot to visit if you live in the surrounding area. 100% recommend read more

This review is long overdue, as I've been coming here since 2015 and it has consistently remained a local favorite for a breakfast that never misses. The staff is always very friendly, the food is solid, and the prices are fair, typically ranging from $9 to $18 per plate. On my most recent visit, we had the chicken and waffles, loco moco, and beignets. While the vanilla beignets are my personal favorite and the chicken was perfectly crispy, the real stars of the show were the waffles--they were incredibly crispy, sweet, and soft. read more

People say that it's a hidden gem, which is quite true because it's hard to find the location of the spot and not many people seem to know this place unless they tell their friends about it. The place looks really small, crowded, and decorative inside but if you walk more towards the back, there's probably more seatings. I honestly expect this place to be packed where I have to wait for more than 20 minutes, but again, it doesn't really seem to receive a lot of attention. Honestly, the food is good and portion size is neither too small nor big. Usually, some restaurants serve bigger portions. At least I didn't get full though and save my stomach for lunch. I was quite surprised when the pancake combo is $11 ($9 before 9am) while three-stack is $12.50. Price is quite reasonable due to portion size. The issue is when I needed my change after paying for the meal. I guess that either the staff forgot about it or some miscommunication. Not sure though, but they seem to be very busy, which I understand. I was expecting them to get it as soon as I pay for it, but went straight to doing other tasks. read more

You really can't go wrong starting with some warm beignets, soo good! I had the crab cake Benedict, and as a bit of a Benedict connoisseur, I loved it. It was delicious! I also love that you have the option of either a side of rice or potatoes. I opted for the potatoes this time. It had been years since we last ate here, but we'll definitely be back much sooner this time. read more

If I could give it zero reviews, I would it all comes to how you come into the restaurant and they greet you I was greeted by like hey sit on the left and then there was an elderly group, and she was just talking down on them with no respect we walked out left, didn't even order read more

This used to be my goto breakfast place back when I lived in the Bay. The staff is always very nice and accommodating. Giving out recommendations and small talk. My favorite goto items is the chicken and waffles and their Beef Korean Bowl. The korean bowl comes with veggies, rice and rhe meat. They also give you their own type of bibimbap sauce. Which gives a whole other level of flavors. Also, their serving sizes are good and fillings. Today I tried their chocolate beignets for the first time. And they were pretty good. But I think next time I'll stick to the Vanilla flavor. read more

Break Your Fast - Chicken & Waffles, Korean Barbeque Lunch Special Bow and Chocolate 5 Piece Beignets - American Near Me - Union City, California

This place is a Union City staple. Known for their Beignets and them being small business has helped it uped its traffic. I think place is nice, small but a great breakfast place. Priced are good compared to other places. Ambiance is feels cozy like they put their personality into it. What I got : Eggs Benedict 4/5 Beignets : 4/5 Garlic fries 5/5 Chicken and Waffles 4/5 Eggs Benedict has 2 muffins, 3 eggs, and 3 Canadian Bacon, served with potatoes. I thought it was good but I felt like the potatoes could of been more crispy Beignets were nice but felt like they could of been more fluffy. We did it with a drizzle with both chocolate sauce and vanilla sauce. Garlic fries were really good, lots of garlic and nice and crispy My friend got the chicken and Waffles. Both were nice and crispy. read more

Such a gem of a small, family-run business! My husband and I stopped by Break Your Fast on a whim while exploring new local spots, and we're so glad we did. The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, and you can tell they put a lot of care into what they do. While the beignets weren't quite the traditional fluffy style I expected--they leaned more biscuit-like in texture--they were still tasty. If you try them, definitely go for the homemade vanilla sauce--it's rich, creamy, and pulls it all together. My favorite, though, was the fruit cup. I'm usually not into melon-heavy mixes, so I was thrilled to see one full of fresh berries instead. It was refreshing and felt like a step above your typical fruit side. If you're looking to support a passionate local team and enjoy some creative, comforting breakfast bites, Break Your Fast is absolutely worth the visit. read more

We have been here on and off the last 10-15 years. Its a favorite neighborhood spot that many locals frequent and we love the chicken and waffles and korean bbq bowl. It shines as a family run eatery, nothing fancy and I'm not there for the ambience. However, today, I went back there and was saddened to see that it was struggling. The high costs of food, the weak local jobs market is clearly pressuring the restaurant, as the cost of eating out has skyrocketed. I still remember when the same dishes cost about 30-40% less about 5 years ago! I was glad that I chose to eat there today. If this has been your spot too, please try to support them as I noted their go fund me to try to keep a float. read more

Today my partner, our dog, and I had breakfast at Break Your Fast, and I really want to give a shout-out to our waitress, Avery. She was amazing from start to finish. Our dog can be a little protective, especially when someone approaches us before acknowledging him, and he barked at her a few times. Avery stayed completely calm and collected the whole time. She didn't let it faze her at all. She still took our order smoothly -- and even took our dog's order, which made us laugh. She tried to say hi to him without touching him (since she works with food), but he was being stubborn. His breed can look intimidating, and some places might have asked us to leave, but she was incredibly understanding and patient. We've been coming to this breakfast spot for years because we're from the area, and experiences like this are exactly why we want places like this to stay around forever. Employees like Avery truly make the visit worth it. The food was great as always. My partner got the fried chicken eggs Benedict, I had the salmon scramble, and our dog enjoyed his unseasoned beef patty. We also got the vanilla beignets -- absolutely a must-try. They were perfect. Everything was delicious, and we'll definitely keep coming back. Highly recommend both the restaurant and the service! read more

We came in on Sunday and were given our choice of seating. The waitress was really kind and welcoming. Immediately took our drink orders and let us look over the menu. Unfortunately the second waitress wasn't as kind or welcoming. She seemed impatient and a bit dismissive of us despite there being no other patrons. We ordered a loco moco, garlic fries, chicken & waffles and a side of kimchi. The garlic fries were super oily but had a lot of garlic on it and were crispy. The loco moco was really disappointing with the small patty and white gravy??? Loco moco in my opinion can not be served without brown gravy. I did put a piece of kimchi with every bite just to help hide the lack of flavor in the gravy and texture and it was perfect. Kimchi is for sure authentic Korean kimchi, perfectly sour and crunchy. The chicken and waffles really left little to the imagination. Chicken was like a katsu cutlet, dry, overcooked and a bit lacking. The waffles were small and only crispy. Weren't very fluffy inside and overall the meal was dry without the maple syrup. We were maybe half way to a 3 quarters way through our meal when we were a bit abruptly brought our check. At this point there's only 1 other table with customers and we were at a 3 star review trajectory. The middle aged Korean woman who we hadn't seen at all during our meal checked in on us then just dropped the check while we were happily eating and chatting. Out of the 3 staff members we encountered, 1 was absolutely perfect and polite and nice. The other 2 were really working against the team with the lacking service and premature check delivery. I would've come back until that happened. There's better breakfast spots in union city, Fremont and Newark area. read more

Door dashed breakfast from here and it is still a really good place! I got my usual veggie eggs benedict and it was exactly how good I remembered it! I liked that they put the sauce on the side since it was togo so it didn't get soggy. My husband got the hot link breakfast plate and a side of chili beans and made a chili bean hot link scramble lol, he loved it! Portions are good and prices are cheaper then most breakfast places! Great food! read more

Break Your Fast is one of my favorite places for brunch in all of the East Bay. The food never disappoints and it's remained just as delicious as when I first had it years ago. The staff are also friendly and accommodating. If I could suggest anything savory it would definitely be their Krabbycake Benedict and for something sweet it would be their beignets (that come in 5 per order). read more

The food is ok and well below standard. Service is good but the seating is odd. We sat in the back with bags of hamburger buns and table service items laying out with a rack of restaurant supplies. Very weird. Ambiance is not good due to oddities. I had a BLT and added fried egg because the menu didn't suit me. There must be better places. read more

I had to return this morning to try more of their menu items!!! I was so pleased the last time we came, I had to return!!! Today I am trying a taste of Spam, John, and homemade Kimchee!!! I can't wait to taste it!!! 710/24 Upon arriving in Union City, my belly was hungry!!! My first thought was "Break Your Fast"!!!! I wanted to try something new, so after looking at the many selections, I chose the Beef Bowl with Ice Tea. The ice tea was fresh brewed with a slice of lemon, quenched my thirst. Then came the Beef Bowl, it looked and smelled delicious!! I could see plenty of thinly sliced beef, onions, lettuce, and I dug in, plenty of gohan(rice)!!!! A sunny side egg. I could smell the teriyaki sauce!!! Kinda reminded me of Sukiyaki!!! I quickly inhaled the umami, took a spoon full with a little of everything!!! YUMMY!!! This satisfied my hunger today!!! There was plenty in the bowl, I saved some to take home to eat later in the day, and once again enjoy this yummy bowl!!!! read more

Break Your Fast is one of my go to breakfast spots. Love that they usually have less than a 5 minute wait. Also love how affordable they are. I ordered 3 eggs with rice, sourdough toast and hot link. Always delicious and flavorful. I know it's a simple meal but I love that they have so many meat options like hot links and spam and that they also serve rice with breakfast. It's also one of the only diner places where I can order coffee. It's actually well made and not super watery like other diners. Service is always great and their staff is usually very warm. I also like that they have indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a back room with additional seating. There's also 2 lots you can park in which makes it super easy to access. read more

Little whole in the wall with great service good food fun choices and a family friendly atmosphere, I recommend the Beignets

Knowing how much small businesses, especially restaurants, mean to our community, I want to encourage everyone to support Break your Fast. Running a restaurant is no easy task, and it's especially challenging with rising costs and other financial pressures as mentioned in the recent Wall Street Journal article highlighting the owner of this restaurant. Every meal you enjoy here directly supports the hardworking team behind it. They truly deserve our love and loyalty for all they bring to the neighborhood. If you're looking for a spot that delivers excellent food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a chance to support a local gem, this is it. Let's help them thrive read more

pros: -lots of seating: patio, main room, and back room -wide variety of choices (breakfast and lunch) -the krabby cakes were tasty! tip: ask to make the side of potatoes CRUNCHY -lots of parking - cons: -more hollandaise sauce on the krabby cakes read more

The beignet image in the front really attracted me here. I'm so surprised they serve this although it not like the ones I tasted in New Orleans. The dough is not as fluffy for sure but it still tastes good. The other good thing is the price friendly bfast combo #1,2,3. If you get the early bird special before 10am, it's even better! Overall the food is not drop dead gorgeous but server is nice although they were really busy and the ambiance is good. The interior is small but they do have nice exterior seating which is quiet. read more

Break Your Fast - Jimmy's Scramble - American Near Me - Union City, California

I'm sad to give a low review, but if I'm being honest, my group didn't really enjoy our meals. But I'll start off with the good things! Good service, and food came out fairly quickly. I enjoyed the chicken that came with my chicken and waffles and the gravy that went with it had a rich, bacon-infused flavor to it. And of course, we had to get the beignets! We asked to get half vanilla and half chocolate and they were happy to do so for us. For the not as good things, the portions were a bit small and the quality of the food was not great. I've gotten better food at IHOP. The food reminded me a bit of waffles and eggs you make yourself at home. I also had a bit of a stomachache after my meal, not sure why. Bacon was overly greasy, guac for the breakfast burrito tasted like the fake packaged stuff, etc. Overall just unimpressed with the food, since you can make better stuff at home for half the price. read more

Saying at least "thank you" after you paid has nothing to do with a big party in the back. It's appreciation, takes NO extra effort. I'm sorry, but if me needing a fork and never getting it to eat my hot food is considered acceptable because u only had 2 servers and a big party, then we completely disagree. No water, no coffee maybe the big party caused this. We can just be thirsty as we eat. Maybe take a bit of responsibility for bad service and not blame the big party read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. I stood there with my husband for five minutes without a single acknowledgment. One server kept returning to the same table but never once said, "Hi," or "Sorry, we're busy--I'll be right with you." We were left standing, waiting for service with no explanation or even a glance in our direction. What a complete waste of time researching this place and thinking we were going to try something new and local. It looked friendly from the outside, but that impression quickly faded. We felt completely ignored and unwelcome. I won't be coming back--this experience wasn't worth a single dollar, even if they were giving out free beignets. read more

Went here for brunch and it was a great spot! Surprisingly we got a seat right away but I can imagine on more crowded days, there would be a wait.
