The Berkeley location.
Udval D.

The place was filled with homeless people, it was unsanitary. A homeless guy literally came and sat on our table while we were still eating and the workers just sat and did nothing. We had kids with us, so we asked them please escort the homeless person out but they refused to help. The homesless guy ate our food for about good 10 min, i told them at least replace the food he touched, the workers were so rude and unhelpful, they basically said it was our fault we let him sit down. Unprofessional and unsanitary. Do no recommend this place or at least the Berkeley location.

Interior

This is probably the cutest cafe in Berkeley!! The interior is so chic, with beautiful natural light and an outdoor seating area. I ordered an iced coffee and wasn't a huge fan but their acai bowl always hits. The service is decent, the staff is usually warm and friendly.

Nice people. Slow service. Chocolate croissant tasted stale. The flat white was weak in flavor. Did I mention they are very slow. On the positive they have a nice outdoor space for the extra long wait.

This was the burrito once I opened it up, there's not even a lot of beans. not evenly portioned at all

I ordered a breakfast burrito with only avocado, black beans, & potatoes, when I received my burrito there was no hint of avocado visible in it. They told me it was in there. Most burritos when sliced open you can see all the ingredients on the surface once open but I did not see any green whatsoever. After opening the burrito and getting to the bottom, there was one HALF slice of avocado in the ENTIRE burrito. The eggs were greasy too and the potatoes had zero seasoning. For 15 dollars that's pretty disappointing. I feel like this place has a good vibe and the workers seem nice but it's too pricey and the food was also bland too. I think there are better cafes in the Bay that offer better food for the same price or cheaper.

Matcha latte

A solid brunch option! Standard prices. It's pretty crowded on a weekend brunch time. When I went a couple weekends ago, all seating inside was basically taken and most seats outside as well. There's a park nearby if you only have small transportable items. I love the vanilla pastry but they ran out by the time I swooped by. The falafel is so crunchy but soft on the inside (laudatory). I loved the latte art on my matcha latte.

Iced decaf latte

Located around the corner from the Main Street. Cafe Reveille was busy not thankfully not packed on Memorial Day. My iced coffee was good but notjing notable. They have a cart with simple syrup and sugar which was helpful to adjust the sweetness. The trash in the bathroom was overflowing, so it could do with a bit more attention.

Grilled Chicken Sandwich

I recently checked out this café and left with mixed feelings. Café Atmosphere: This spot is constantly buzzing with activity, with lines out the door and an impressive array of modern vegan and gluten-free options. The energy is definitely lively--great for those who thrive on movement and productivity. Yet, there's a cozy, nurturing vibe in the comfortable seating, even though you're expected to bus and clean your own table. The self-serve system for utensils and water might feel a bit too hands-off for those craving a more attentive touch. I also noticed that the staff appeared somewhat stressed rather than happy, based on their facial expressions and dimmed down attitude. Cleanliness & Amenities: The restrooms could use a bit more care; they were a bit messy and needed a check for trash removal. However, overall, they're compact, tidy, and get the job done--practical, yet in need of that extra nurturing detail. On a positive note, the café is very dog-friendly, perfect for those who appreciate a little extra warmth and companionship. Outdoor Area: Patio doors opened and left opened, embracing an open-air flow concept. However, a few flies managed to wander in, slightly marring an otherwise inviting setting. With plenty of parking available and a friendly atmosphere, it's a minor hiccup in an otherwise energetic environment. There is a walkway in the patio area with Wisteria plants, which adds to the patio's atmosphere and makes it a great spot for photos. Food Highlights: * Shakshuka: Strong sun-dried tomato flavor, with a sharp acidity that may not suit all tastes. * Grilled Chicken Sandwich: Slightly over-charred but very moist. Served with potato chips, which added a nice crunch. Matcha Lattes: I ordered both an iced and a hot matcha latte, asking for one with honey and one without. Both came out sweet, which felt like a miscommunication on my part. While not overly sugary, the texture was a bit grainy instead of offering the silky smooth experience I'd hoped for. Hours of Operation: Monday-Sunday: 7:30 AM - 4:30 PM Overall, the café offers a wide range of options in a lively setting, though there are areas that could be improved for a more consistent experience but will come back for a second opinion.

Do you have some amazing, sparkling, flavored beverages. What is the company that makes them?

How can I call the restaurant ? I left something and I need to know if they have it. They do Not pick up on the phone number listed on the website or on yelp?

212-966-4100

Are you reopen for indoor dining?

Yes!

Is the quinoa used in the bowls certified gluten-free? I only ask because I'm celiac and extremely sensitive. So, many times there is cross contamination where it's manufactured or in the prep space. Thank you.

A true hidden gem right at the bottom of Solano Ave in Albany!…read more I'm embarrassed to admit that Picnic has been around for about 5 years in the east bay and I've just tried it for the first time this week. But I'm so glad I was finally introduced to it. The staff greet you promptly when you enter and you can even watch them work effortlessly together in the open prep-station behind the counter. They have a gorgeous display of deli items, wines, cheeses, cold sides, and even some cute candles & house made croutons. They've got everything you would need for an elevated picnic or even a barbecue with the family. They have an intriguing selection of house made sausages-- the Chicken Tikka Masala sausage caught my eye and I can't wait to try it. They also sell whole smoked quail that are seasoned heavily yet each bite has just the right amount of smokiness, spices, and salt. Their hot food items and sandwiches are perfect for a quick lunch during your break from work or on your way home. There are also a few counter seats if you want to enjoy your meal there. So far I've tried the smoked quail, the Muffaletta sandwich, and their green lentil soup with chicken + veg. The sandwich was filled to the brim and each bite was a flavor bomb. The lentil soup was very comforting & paired well with the smoked quail. I'm looking forward to trying everything they have to offer.

Holy potatoessss! This place is incredible. There's nothing quite like getting a rotisserie…read morechicken, potatoes and hot olives (their $20 chicken lunch special) and walking to the spa for a hot tub. The brownie was outrageous as well! It came with theee sauces and of course the garlic aioli won (next to the romanesco and I think chimichurri?). I wasn't crazy about those last two but that garlic aioli was to dieeee for. The service was amazing and fast and honestly the store was so cute that I kept picking things up to add to my order. I couldn't have been more pleased with this place and will absolutely come back.
