First time trying this place for breakfast on a Saturday morning. First thing to know for first time patron like me, there are two doors to enter. Left door- is for pick up order. Right door is for dine in with red ropes to wait in line. There's a menu you have to look to order. The line can be long and it was about 10 mins before I got to the front register. They have sample cookies above the bakery display. Complimentary water and hibiscus tea to the left of the register and to go containers on the bottom. Service- after taking my order. Was about another 10-15 mins before we got our food. Ube pancake and made it a combo with egg and bacon. Pancake was $22 and the add was another $15. My wife and I thought the pancake was good and rich. The syrup was thick and they had maple syrup on the table if you wanted. I'd give the pancake 5 stars. Bacon was okay- kinda stiff. Nothing special 3 stars My loco moco was with the meatloaf. To be honest, it was okay. I've had better loco moco especially in Hawaii. Meat was fine, gravy was thick and some part of it clumped up into a gelatin . If I have to be honest, it's a 3 out of 5. On the seat yourself tables, there is ketchup, salt pepper and Tapatio for hot sauce. I'm more of a Tabasco type person and wished they had it to put on my Loco Moco. Overall, Denica has a unique set up of ordering first at the register than other typical sit down and order at a table. I think their bakery is probably their strong suit. We enjoyed our meal enough but it can be a hectic vibe if there are no tables around and in line to order 4 stars overall. read more

My family and I came for a late lunch here and were pleasantly surprised to see that it was not too crowded. I found it interesting to order at the counter and find your own seat, but that worked out well for us, as we were able to find a table with space for our two young daughters. They enjoyed playing with the train set while we placed our food order. We got kids chicken strips with fries, guava pancakes and loco moco with beef patty. The girls enjoyed their chicken strips and fries. The guava pancakes were light and fluffy with a great guava sauce on top. I wish there were more kiwi and strawberry pieces. The real winner was the loco moco. We weren't sure what to expect when we saw a lighter colored sauce, but it was honestly our favorite loco moco we have tasted. I enjoyed eating just rice with the sauce. My husband said the loco moco is only served on weekends. We will definitely be back for that! read more

Took my out of town family there not once but twice and they loved it! So grateful it passed the test for their yumminess and good customer service overall! The cashier, the waitress, bussers, the preps in the back all friendly. Oh the complimentary chips, salsa and Jamaica is amazing and delicious! Minus 2 stars because the older Hispanic looking lady with glasses is so rude and shouldn't be working up front with her negative vibes. We were watching how beautiful the kitchen plates their food. And me and my family love to make French toast and enjoyed the Ube French toast more because it's made with cinnamon bread. We were wondering what brand they used. That lady came over to us asking can she help us and asked what we were looking at. Geez lady it's an open kitchen can't we enjoy the view. Since she came over to us my sweet niece asked what brand of bread do they used for their French toast?? Isn't this a compliment?? Shees my family lives in Monterey and are not planning on opening a breakfast spot anytime soon LOL! She was straight rude gatekeeping and walked away with no reply hella rude and embarrassing you treat my niece like that! WTH we spend tons of money there and you can't even reply back kindly or with grace!! Keep that energy in the back or outside the door lady! Is it that serious and to treat your customers like they don't matter when we are the reason you're getting a pay check!! Denica I hope you read this I wonder if the other reviews from customer about the lady upfront is the same one we all are talking about??? To all the other customers who wonder what their delicious bread they use for the Ube French toast it's from a local bakery in alameda SemiFreddis cinnamon twist bread! Lady you should be grateful they are your suppliers and share the love! 2 stars took away only because the lady was rude no smile and messes up the good vibes and experience at Denica's! read more

On 9/3/2026, at approximately 11:53 am, my wife and I, stumbled across Denica's and found a Gem The place has a dinner type setting with amazing food. You order at the counter and take your seat. The service was fast and the food was great Oh yeah they also have amazing cookies My wife had soufflé pancakes and I had chilaquiles both was great. If you're looking for a new spot to eat you have to try Denica's. All in all I gave them five stars read more

3.5 We tried vegan burrito and tostada, kids pancake and soufflé pancakes, roasted veggies and cappuccino. Liked the burrito, soufflé pancakes and coffee. Roasted veggies were very undercooked and inedible- shouldn't be on the menu. Staff is very helpful and friendly, line to order moves fast but food takes time. Kids play area really helped during the long wait. I wish there were more eggless options to try. read more

Ok- up charge city without saying anything about an up charge - eggs x 3 at 10$ then a 2$ upcharge for egg whites - that's 12$ , then another 13,50 up charge for eggs/ egg white ? Whats this about ? Prices in the specials ? Nope- we had to ask- What sucks is the food is good - what sucks more is the UPCHARGES that are not shared - we would have gotten something else- We won't be back read more

My cousin and I met up here for brunch. We were looking for places that were between Tracy and San Jose, and this place was in that midpoint vicinity. Got there around 9:30am. It wasn't busy for a Saturday morning! Lucky! Got a table right away and got in line to order. The pastry display is so tempting! There's also a specials menu right at the register. As if their main menu wasn't already hard to select from lol. We ordered the ube pancakes and ube French toast plus some protein on the side to share. The pancakes came out quick! Must be their popular dish because the French toast took forever. They were both so good. I can't decide which one I like better. Glad we ordered both. Definitely worth a try here if you've been on the fence. Food and service are great! Prices are reasonable. Hope we get a chance to come back. There are so many other things I want to try! read more

Denica's one of my favorite brunch spots in the Tri-Valley because I enjoy fusion-style restaurants. It's not a boring American diner for a reason. Service can also be a bit slow when the restaurant during weekends and busy hours, but the staff makes sure to get everything right. It is nice they have a complimentary drink along with a chip and salsa station. So please take advantage of it while you wait for your food if you decide to dine in! The menu is Hawaiian and Filipino fusion, so the flavors are unique, vibrant, and delicious. I tried the guava pancakes, which were delicious. I love the cute presentation and guava jam. The banana pancakes were a little bland since I expected a stronger banana flavor. I could barely taste any macadamia. But, the pancakes here are huge and a nice treat for yourself! They also have a great bakery selection. I bought cookies from here and it is worth checking out. I'm intrigued to try their jiggly pancakes next time and savory dishes. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun and flavorful brunch spot! I will definitely be back :) read more

Stopped by Denica's in Dublin after church and wow...so worth it. They serve a prime rib loco moco on weekends only, and it's a must-try. The portion is HUGE--literally a steak-sized cut of prime rib. My boyfriend and I shared it and were completely stuffed. It comes with a generous portion of rice, tender and flavorful prime rib, and 3 eggs on top. Everything about it was absolutely delicious. The meat was cooked perfectly--super juicy and packed with flavor. Such a hearty, satisfying meal. Definitely coming back for this weekend special! read more

What a lovely spot for brunch! You order at the counter and find yourself a table, they bring food to you. Quick, friendly service and not too busy for a Sunday morning! If you take away one thing from this review -- get the ube pancakes. They were divine, a great serving size (3-4 pancakes) and came with fruits and whipped cream. The ube sauce is sweet and coconutty. Delicious! I got the banana cream latte (on the specials menu) and didn't really like it, so would pass next time. read more

Discovered a nice breakfast place in Dublin. Breakfast is my favorite meal to eat out and l love finding new places. My buddy recommended this spot and what a great choice. I like its neighborhood vibe and it seems like its frequented by a lot of locals. I was starving an order the Niko's 2 Great Breakfast. I always order a standard entree to gauge the quality of the cooking. I figure if they can get the basics right there's a good chance that other items on the menu will be good. So, eggs over-easy, sausage, bacon, English muffin and lots of black coffee. I love it when the sausages are plumb and the bacon thick. Some places I've tried had small sausage and bacon, which left me wanting more. Thankfully, DRFK was not the case. There were generous servings of everything. My buddy had a breakfast croissant and it looked really, really good. I think I will try that the next time I visit. Service was good. I placed my order at the counter and paid. I sat myself and then waited for the order to come up. It did not take long. The vibe in the restaurant was lively and I felt right at home. Again, a great place to eat. My only unanswered question is are their free refills on coffee? I will find out the next time to go there. Pic time. read more

We had a fun visit to Denica's. It is open early and we headed here for breakfast before our big hike. I ordered a breakfast burrito and it was large enough that I packed half for my hike snack. They have free chips and salsa and also a bakery. They offered samples of a couple of their cookies also. Between all of the offerings, I was stuffed. Good menu and we will be back for sure. Good service. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

Girls brunch at Denica's was a hit! First thing I want to point out is the wooden train set & trains they have for the kids. We sat right infront of this play area so we could catch up on life while watching the kids play. This place is order first & then find a table. Its was very busy when we went but were able to find a table for 5 with no problem. The pastry options are endless , it all looked so delicious. I tasted the pecan bun 10/10! We all ordered something different! The presentation & taste of all the plates did not disappoint! read more

If I lived in the area, this place would be on my list of restaurants to go to. You order food and pay at the counter. They will bring out your food to your table when it is ready. Their display case has a lot of yummy pastries. They also have fresh juice section. We ordered the Kalua pork and some Soufflé pancakes, with a cup of POG. The soufflé pancakes take 30 mins. They tell you ahead of time to see if you're ok with the wait. The Kalua pork was so good. The meat was moist. It really reminded me of being in Hawaii, when I was eating it. Plus, I had some POG juice. The place also looked like it could be a restaurant in Hawaii. It just had that look of a family owned restaurant in Hawaii vibe. Anyhow, the soufflé pancakes came with fresh fruit. The pancakes were great. Everything was very good. We enjoyed our breakfast!! read more

3.5 because we stayed to closing and they gifted us with a couple of pastries. I ordered the plate lunch and it wasn't that good to me. The big portion of rice must have been sitting because it had a crust on it, the Asian slaw was green and purple cabbage sliced wide with very little dressing and the veggies weren't cooked enough for me. And the mochiko chicken was already cut up and overcooked. Free chips are always nice and the serve yourself water station is great. It's a good location to meet up because parking is plentiful and there is no wait for dine in seating. read more

This is my second time ordering soufflé pancake. First time I've had it was in San Diego and this time my son told me to try the one at The best part was the whipped cream. it was more solid than standard whipped cream, which made it good . And would serve with fresh fruit and pizza butter. I really enjoyed it. There was one other person that was sitting in front of me and she had ordered the same thing. I asked her what she thought about it and she said she had it in Japan. It was slightly more fluffier, but this tasted just as good. The inside ambience is very casual. The latte was excellent. read more

I found this place when looking for a breakfast location. I am so glad I got to try this place. It is fantastic. It is in a strip mall and there was a good amount of parking spots but it was pretty packed. We were there for breakfast. There was a couple of people in front of us. You order from the counter and then they bring you food when it's ready. There is a display case with all the fresh pastries at the counter. It looked so yummy that I had to get one too. My wife wasn't too hungry and she knew I was going to order a lot so we just shared. I had to get Le Souffle Pancakes. they looked so enticing. It takes 30 minutes for this item. I decided to get them. Next was the Kalua pork hash. Lastly the Lilikoi Supreme Croissant. We got our number and went to a booth in the back. They brought out the Kalua Pork Hash. Wow it was like being in Hawaii actually even better. The pork was so tender and juicy. I was dying. Melt in your mouth. Since we were in the back we could see our Souffle being made. First being cooked on one side then she flipped it in the machine. It came out all fluffy. It was jiggly. SO the only downside is it tasted like they used packaged mix and not their own. Still great but could be better. I saved the croissant for later and OMG so buttery and loved the flavor of the tropical passionfruit. Wow This was a great find. I wish they had one in our city. Will be back again read more

Came here for brunch. We had their ube pancakes, chilaquiles, Caden's mini breakfast, ube hot cocoa, and ube latte. The ube pancakes were very good. Loved the sweetness from the ube spread. The purple color was very appealing. The fresh fruit was a nice touch to the pancakes. It had strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and bananas. They balanced out the sweetness of the ube. The pancakes were nice and fluffy. The chilaquiles were excellent. The tortilla chips soaked up the green chile sauce very well. They were crunchy and not too soggy with the sauce. The green chile sauce was good. Loved its acidity and spice. The spice was not too overpowering and just enough. The eggs were cooked well. Nice scrambled eggs with the chips and salsa was a wonderful mixture. The avocados and tomatoes were a refreshing addition to the dish. The sour cream and cotija cheese were essential to the dish. Giving it more depth. The cilantro and radish put a nice touch as well. Caden's mini breakfast was okay. It was from the kid's menu. It included an egg, sausage, and toast. The egg was cooked over easy and was good. The sausage was pretty good with a slight sweetness and savory flavor. The toast was crunchy with some butter. I really enjoyed the ube hot cocoa. It was very sweet with the whipped cream and marshmallows. Very refreshing drink. Loved it. The ube latte was good. We had it with a shot of espresso. We also opted it iced. It was a good drink as well. Not as sweet, but still good. Service was pretty good. The cashier was very nice to us and efficient. Our food came in on time without too much of a wait. We felt very welcomed in this place. Very enjoyable experience here. Would definitely come back next time! read more

Yeah, it's all about the pancakes. This was a game changer as I'm usually pancake purist. However, every now and again I'll take the leap (of faith) and venture into the unknown of exotic colors and flavors. I'm now officially infatuated with Ube and all of its glory. Ube cookies, milk teas etc... where has this been all my life! The secret is this Ube condensed milk in asian markets. Thank you Denica for creating this morning masterpiece. read more

Wow glad I found out this place and tried it out! You walk in and order at the counter where you walk by all these pastries that they have. Ordered their popular ube pancakes, guava pancakes and to balance all that sweetness ordered some bacon and scrambled eggs! Everything was so good, was hoping they had the coconut pancakes but probably not in season or something. Best part is they have chips and salsa bar and that green salsa is so good !! Also have water to self serve and also a tea which I think was hibiscus but didn't try since didn't know if it was free like the water but I'll try next time! The pancakes were so fluffy and good not too sweet where you got tired of it as well. Also ordered some potato's which ended up being thick hasbrowns which were good as well. Portions are very big for their price so it is worth it! Can't wait to come back, great customer service as well. I was worried it would be packed but they have a decent amount of seating. read more

Denica's has a very homey vibe to it that I always enjoy no matter which location I go to. They have a menu full of interesting flavors, like pink guava pancakes or ube. If you're looking for a novel flavor experience, I think they're a fun place to meet up for brunch with friends. My friend and I met up and ended up eating and chatting for four hours, haha. They have a lot of cute pastries in their bakery display. I got their ube cookie and thought it tasted better than the pancakes actually. Next time, I might just buy a couple of pastries instead of going for the full meal -- Their pancakes are pretty filling, I don't have a large stomache and can never finish it They take your order at the counter, then bring the food to your table using your order number. There's plenty of seating options as well The service and food felt about the same as the time I went to the Livermore location, so if you enjoyed it there, the Dublin location shouldn't feel too much different read more

Came by on a Wednesday for brunch. I have never been here but my buddy said it was his go-to so I had to try Denica's. The restaurant gave off diner-vibes, with a section of freshly baked goods in a glass display case. Honestly, I don't even know how to categorize the meal we had because it was a fusion but it was really good. We ordered at the register and then took a Number Placard back to the seat we chose to sit at (self-seating). While we were waiting for our food, my friend showed me the salsa bar with complimentary tortilla chips (pretty wild, but it was good!). The food came out within 15-20 minutes of ordering. We got the Ube-Stuffed French Toast and the Kalua Pig Hash. My favorite was the ube-stuffed french toast! The fruits were fresh, the ube filling had a great balance of sweetness that perfectly complimented the fruit and whipped cream. Overall, the toast was thick and fluffy and YUMMY! I would drive all the way back just to have this again! The Kalua Pig Hash was also a great dish. It had potatoes and kalua pork, topped with an egg and your choice of a bread (toasted). It was a solid choice! On the way out, I grabbed a guava pastry, which was REALLY GOOD. I would recommend coming if you haven't already. The menu is big and there is bound to be something new to try! read more

Denica's is delicious! It was our first time trying Brunch in Dublin and we don't regret our choice! We didn't know this, but you may grab menus and a table and order at the front counter when you are ready. There are two entrances -- one for to go (left door) and one for dine in/ordering (right side). However, there are seating on both sides so there is plenty of space! We went on a weekend and it was packed but we managed to get there just in time before the crowd came in. Denica's has a large menu and it was honestly quite hard to pick what we wanted. We got a giant cinnamon roll as an appetizer because we were starving, but it was a mistake because it is ginormous! It was $8 but the price reflected the size. We ate half before we decided to stop or else we'll be too full to finish our food. It was really good and I would recommend requesting it to be warmed up or maybe taking it to go instead of eating it first. There is a large variety of pastries and desserts and it looks so yummy! I can imagine that people come in just to get some pastries and leave. We ordered the Nutella Latte, which was delicious! Dark, thick, rich, but not too sweet. Had a nice deep coffee taste. I would absolutely order that again. For the iced banana cream matcha latte, I would skip out on it. The matcha isn't very strong and is quite diluted once you mix it in and tasted quite milky. The banana cream flavor was strong and all I could taste. I requested to change it to coffee and they added it in -- but then it didn't have the strong banana cream flavor. I wouldn't get it again and would recommend trying their other delicious sounding options. Thank you to the staff for being so understanding and trying to make my drink taste good. I got the eggs Benedict which I enjoyed. It was really good and flavorful. I loved that the potatoes were crispy. It did need a little bit of pepper and salt for seasoning, but there was plenty of spices and condiments at the table to use to adjust to taste. The chorizo tostada was also really good! It had really good seasoning and we struggled to finish our meals just because of the large size of it. We enjoyed every bite and would love to come again and try more food from Denica's! read more

Key Points: - known for their delicious Hawaiian style cuisine including ube and guava pancakes - but don't forget the classics too. Made a trip back to this classic joint! I know there are multiple Denica's now, but this Dublin location was my first love. The first one I tried in 2010. Back then it was all about simple, classic breakfast and brunch food. As far as I remember, there was no Ube or Guava pancakes that they're known for now. On this revisit, I kept it old-school by ordering: - "This and That": classic pancakes, bacon, over-medium eggs - black coffee: not Specialty Coffee, but gets the job done and a wonderful complement to the pancakes. I couldn't help but miss those charming Denica's mugs that looked like they came straight out of a Winnie-the-Pooh storybook. I showed up about 30 minutes before closing, and the staff couldn't have been more welcoming. No groans or side-eyes about serving someone late. Just warm, genuine hospitality. Really Appreciated. The food was as delicious as ever. Classic pancakes really hit the spot. The Portions are still huge, and while the prices are higher than your average diner, this ISN'T your average diner. This is Denica's. This visit was a blend of nostalgia and comfort food that really hit home. read more

Like the name, Denica's Real Food Kitchen felt authentic. Portion sizes were huge, and one dish could easily feed 2-3 people. I ordered the Kalua Pig Hash, which was loaded with tender pork and scrambled eggs. It came with coleslaw and toast, adding a nice variety of textures. It was also steaming hot, which made it taste better. They also have some of the most unique and delicious cookies I've ever had. The ube coconut macaroon cookie was strong with both flavors, and they even offer some samples so you can try before you buy. The service is counter-style and you take a number to your seat. There is also plenty of seating in the front and back of the space. read more

Stopped by for breakfast at 9:15 am. While the restaurant had patrons, they were not busy. There was no line and we were greeted right away and placed our order. You order at the counter and are given a placard with a number and find an open table. Someone will bring your food to you. A self serving chips and salsa bar and fruit infused water is available. Items ordered: Beniko's burrito- smaller than it used to be and flavor is different than before. Was ok but not as good before. I think they used to add herbs Avo toast with side salad and bacon- Lots of fresh chunky avo and salad perfectly dressed Ube latte- a tad too sweet but ok Soy chai- taste was on point and delicious Restaurant was clean and staff were very friendly. read more

Here on a Monday late morning, enjoyed a few bites of the 100 chile Benedict while my friend was having the green burrito. Both dishes were pretty good. What I wasn't prepared for was my friend stopping conversation to point out a COCKROACH on the booth side just a few feet away from me. We flagged down one of the workers and pointed it out to him, and he just... laughed. And on that note, we dipped out so fast. If you come here, don't eat at the back where the booth side is straight, across from the free chips and salsa bar. read more

Let me start off by saying the breakfast was delicious. However $25 including tip and no beverage is steep for a simple breakfast. Service was as good as it could get because you order at the cashier. There's no waitress that comes to the table to take your order. Inside the restaurant is pretty standard for a breakfast place. All in all the breakfast was delicious. I can't find fault with the prices with the cost of food and labor these days. I know it's a rough time for restaurants. read more

I love eating at Denica's but usually go to the Pleasanton and Livermore locations. Decided to come to the Dublin location and was genuinely disappointed. The lady at the register was rude and one of the runners in his haste clipped my shoulder while I was at the salsa bar. He just needs to slow down. The server was amazing so this review has nothing to do with the her. The James' omelet was on par but the side of bacon, veggies and avocado were all old. I couldn't even eat the bacon. Imagine bacon that was cooked yesterday, reheated today but cooled down just before it's served to you. Pretty disappointed by a few people and food quality here. Maybe it was a one off but consistency matters to me. read more

Food is what sets this place apart. We got the chilaquiles verde and pesto omelette. Both were great but the chilaquiles were amazing! The kids menu didn't have much so we got the piggy pancake which wasn't shaped like a piggy but delicious. The chips and salsa were pretty tasty too. The orange juice was fresh. The service was not super quick but we did go on New Year's Day so it was super busy. The ambiance is no nonsense and the toilet was just okay. read more

5 stars for Denica's! It's been a go-to brunch spot in the tri-city area whenever we're in the mood for something special. Specialty dishes are around $25 each with generous portions. The French toast Josephine (not pictured) has been a favorite of mine through the years because of the carmelized bananas and we last tried the Kalua Pork Hash (the most juicy pulled pork with sweet sauce) which is now another top item for us. I enjoyed the Spanish Latte and would definitely get that again- but expect a sweet dessert-like latte, but not as rich as Urth's. I'd pass on the ube latte (tasted like melted ube ice cream, we thought there'd be espresso in it), and the ube french toast (soft toast with delicious ube halaya, but didn't enjoy the ube custard. Maybe the ube pancakes would be better. We've also tried the breakfast sandwich which is just okay. Walk in for brunch, grab some complimentary chips and salsa, and enjoy a loaded Asian-inspired brunch menu. read more

I don't like to leave bad reviews.... With that said. I have been eating at Dublin Denica's since 2010. Unfortunately, you are only as good as the last meal you made. Now, I can forgive a mistake here and there but when you do so many things wrong over time it takes a toll. I will not go into detail but someone needs to take a hard look at what is happening starting at the order taking all the way through to the arrival or picking up of the food. This isn't cheap fast food. There is a supposed to be premium to their product at every step and the costs reflect that. So, when there is a flaw in my mind it is glaring and magnified. Long story short. I will continue to be a patron at the Pleasanton location as it seems there is still some of the old Denica's quality control still there. read more

I recently visited Denica's with my parents and grandma for brunch, and it is a cool spot for a family meal. One thing I really liked was the variety on the menu. There are plenty of breakfast and brunch options to choose from, and everything we ordered was delicious. It's also nice to see vegetarian and vegan options available. If you're not looking to sit down, you can also just order a coffee or pastry and be on your way. You don't need to wait super long to have your walk out order finished. The service was great too. Everyone was friendly and attentive. While the prices are a little higher than some other breakfast spots, the quality of the food, welcoming atmosphere, and overall experience made it feel well worth the cost. read more
