My favorite almost daily neighborhood spot. They know all of their regulars orders and treat us with kindness! They also have delicious pastries. Good vibes all around!

Love eating here. The food is very very well done. Plenty parking in the shared parking lot in the back (but ... watch for meter maids who will ticket expired meters quickly) Lots of people lounge and eat and grab coffee. It's a good spot for a casual meet up. A neighborhood favorite. I had the procutto caprese. Neatly made with a vinegerette side salad. They do serve breakfast at all times. The expresso machine they have makes nice strong drinks. Not some watered down bs. Will come back.

Very rude customer service

Old place. First time here. the tables are really old, it looks messy, but looks like it's a local favorite because it gets busy. I didn't think customer service was anything out of the ordinary. They take your order, you sit, they call your number or they bring you your food. The guy who took my order didn't greet or smile. I had no idea there was a specific way to order. It wasn't until I looked at the ground after I sat down, did I see the arrows. Food was ok. I ordered a bagel with lox, Turkey & bacon panini and a traditional breakfast. Thought the cafe & food was ok.

They are now open till 8pm some Days of the week so is perfect for dinner and or studying. Francisco and Diego took good care of me. Love the jazz too

Well the coffee smell and live jazz drew us in. The last time I was here, 25 years ago with my dear mama. She had a friend... more of an acquaintance, who happened to be singing here with a live band. Well ok, she was no Billie, Etta or Ella, but considering the cost it was palatable. I get unfriendly staff comments... dudes behind the counter seemed like they were more interested in starting a poker game and the occasional patron blew up the opportunity. But strong ass coffee and sweet deserts after a solid meal down the block, was in order.. When the band took a break, we were entertained by your friendly neighborhood spider man... electrified droaning on with an electric guitar. I'm certain he knew nothing about how to play but in his enlightened state, I don't think he gave a rip. The band is chowing down while I write this. I sure hope they start soon. The combination didgeridoo and bagpipes sound coming from spidy has my senses tingling... and not in a good way. But hey we support live music of all sorts especially the free variety.

Fresh squeezed

See all

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.
