Breakfast Burrito

Wanted some breakfast , so me and my coworker stopped here to get a quick bite and ended up with a screw in my burrito unfortunately.

Delicious food, quiet low key environment, and extremely friendly staff! My friend and I got a burger and an omelet and we were very pleased with our experience. Highly recommend

Just updating to say I still love the food here. I come in once or twice a month to get breakfast burritos and they are always delicious. Definitely my sons favorite. Online ordering is very simple, but so is ordering in person. The service is excellent, every person I've interacted with is just super sweet and friendly. The food is fantastic. It's always nice to start out the day with good food, but the friendly service makes it even better.

Dimond Cafe is consistently good. I've been ordering from them whenever crave a breakfast burrito. Staff is always helpful, and the place looks clean which is important. So great to have them around.

Breakfast Croissant with Sausage
Steve D.

The Dimond Cafe is small cafe in Oakland's Dimond District, near Fruitvale x MacArthur Blvd. I used to work in the Dimond District a longtime ago, and I sometime come back to checkout any food places. The other day I preordered some sandwiches at Dimond cafe to take to work. I ordered a Pastrami sandwich and a Breakfast Croissant with Sausage. This is a nice cafe. Good sandwiches at a fair price. In fact, when I picked up my food, I thought I got someone else's order. The croissant sandwich was huge! It was delicious, with a good amount of egg and sausage. I like Pastrami, and the pastrami sandwich had a good amount of meat and condiments. Let's see, it had pastrami, onions, pickles, tomatoes, melted Swiss cheese and mustard on toasted sourdough. Then put together by a skilled sandwich maker.....you got a good sandwich!

Egg & bacon breakfast sandwich
Jon B.

This place was recommended by a buddy of mine and my breakfast sandwich was so gooood! Service was fast and the chef personally came out to give us our food and to make sure we were good and happy. The ambiance is really chill but the restaurant is located on Fruitvale ave in Oakland, so street parking can be tough during a busier time of the day. Now to the food.. I ordered a breakfast sandwich with bacon and wheat toast. The bacon was chopped into bite sized pieces and cooked with the scrambled eggs so I had a bit of bacon in every bite (which I loved). The toast and cheese were cooked perfectly with just enough crunch and ooze without burning or overpowering the sandwich. Highly recommend if you're in the area and want to try a local spot!

Delicious mostly eaten breakfast burrito with sausage.

They are located in the Temescal area of Oakland, and they share a building with a Mexican restaurant. There's a parking lot that's shared with a pawn broker, produce market, and check cashing service. Their vibe is urban, with a rainbow flag on their front door, and assortment of plants inside. Other reviewers had mentioned a line upon opening, so we made sure to arrive 15 minutes before they open, but on this Friday morning, there was no one else but us. Our server was friendly, polite, and soft spoken. Their menu is quite small, which I appreciate. There's appetizers, sides, brunch, and dinner -- all on 1 page. Their food was outstanding, with rich flavors and beautifully presented with sauces and pickled radishes. We ordered... + Shanghai Lumpia - these were long, crispy, and properly filled + Daing Na Bangus Silog - deep fried milkfish with salad, garlic rice, and sunny egg. One of our favorites. + Fried Chicken (4-piece) - perfectly crispy and juicy. There's some warm spices in the batter, maybe all-spice. + Adobo fried rice - the pork was so tender, it shreds on your fork. This had a good amount of tanginess that was so good. + Pancit Sotanghon - not your typical pancit. The chopped veggies in this had an almost charred flavor that made the dish so interesting. There was not a bad dish. I definitely recommend this for elevated Filipino food that's not pretentious, with a modern, hip vibe.

I was visiting from Texas and happened to get a hotel down the street from MLK Cafe. They were the…read moreonly place open relatively late (Yelp says they close at 10:00 on weekdays, but I think I went in there around 10:15 or 10:30??), so I decided to walk down there and get some food. I was a little confused as to where to order upon first walking in, as there were people hanging out all around the bar and restaurant but no one behind the counter. Eventually I figured it out - they have menus at one of the counters and as I was looking one over, a man came up and asked what I would like. I decided to keep it simple and just ordered a small cheese pizza to go. It wasn't anything mindblowing, but it definitely hit the spot (and for a good price too). The next night I find myself in the same late-ish night predicament, so I walked back over there and decided I'd try one of their Ethiopian dishes. I had only eaten Ethiopian once before and I thought it was great, but nothing to write home about. I ordered beef kelwa and boyyyyyy was it fucking good! It blew my first Ethiopian experience out of the water. Atmosphere is super laid back. Second night I was in there everyone was watching the Warriors game, cheering, and what not. The guys cooking your food and taking your orders are very friendly. Highly recommended spot. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Oakland!

MLK Cafe was perfectly located and exactly what I needed. I've never had Eritrean food before, so I was pretty excited. I ordered the foul meseleh ($13) from the breakfast menu (available all day though I had to ask for it), which was a bean-based dish, and chai. It kind of reminded me of shakshuka in terms of spices but the beans almost tasted meaty. I liked it so much that I brought it home, and my partner said it tasted like refried beans (though he did have them cold). The crusty warm bread was perfect for dipping, and I ended up not being able to finish it. The chai was pretty milky; there was a tea bag and the spices weren't very strong. Then again, I'm used to Indian chais. I would pass on the chai. There was basically no one else there on a Friday afternoon during off-peak hours. It was dimly lit and kind of chilly because the door was left open, so it wasn't the most comfortable cafe ambiance. The wifi did work well though and I would come back to try more Eritrean and Ethiopian food.

This place might have become my favorite fast-casual burger joint in Oakland…read more Since my first review, I've enjoyed their food three more times -- in person once and DoorDash twice. And it's been satisfying and well worth it all three times. I recommend both dining in and delivery. You cannot go wrong with their double burger. The smashed patties are perfectly cooked and seasoned. The supporting elements are quality and executed spot-on each time: the cheese, grilled onions, and mayo. It's a perfect fast casual burger. I also recently tried the Chopped Beef burger and dang it was amazing. The hearty meat and cheese the and buttery bread texture hit hard. This will be another go-to and I recommend it. For sides I've gotten tator tots, regular fries, and season fries. All fantastic and they're generous with the portions. HOWEVER -- you've gotta get the seasoned fries. Addictive and finger-licking amazing. When dining in staff is always friendly. Area's not too busy and you'll always find parking easily down a side street. And price wise it honestly feels like a steal for me given the care and quality and pure satisfaction. Works for me though -- I'm going to keep ordering from this place. Cannot recommend this gem of a burger joint enough. Fantastic seasoning and execution, solid prices, and absolutely satisfying every time.
