This place was such a great find! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt clean, cozy,…read moreand welcoming. The booths with soft pillows made it extra comfortable, and multiple staff members greeted us right away and made sure we felt taken care of throughout our visit. We decided to try the bottomless mimosas, and even though we're from out of state where they're usually cheaper, we normally don't get them but it was 100% worth it. We were a little hesitant at first, but we're so glad we went for it--the flavors were amazing and kept coming at a great pace. The food really impressed us too. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The Korean spicy syrup was a standout--so unique and absolutely delicious. (Spicy pork bowl & waffle and Korean kfc was amazing!!! Portions were generous for the price, which made the whole experience feel like a great value. Overall, we were really impressed. Great service from all employees!! great food, and a super comfortable vibe. This is definitely going to be our go-to breakfast spot from now on!

Parking is a little tricky but we were able to find a spot right away! We went on a Sunday so it…read morewas really busy around 12-1pm. We put ourselves on the waitlist and the wait was about 30-40mins. I've gotten the Ube latte, and it was pretty yummy but I could barely taste the ube. We waited about 25mins for our food to come out but it was fresh and hot when we've gotten it. It was super yummy! I liked my scrambled bulgogi. It came with potatoes and a slice of toast. Overall I finished my plate! We ordered: Side of Mixed fruits Bulgogi scrambled Tornado Bulgogi Omurice Dirty Ube Latte Hot chocolate (not pictured) The place was really pretty but by the host stand it was very tight. Better to wait outside for your table!

Firstly, this is a cafeteria for LBNL employees, affiliates, and official visitors only. That said,…read moreif you are working on the hill and do not have time to take the bus down into Berkeley, this is just about your only option for lunch! There are three or four different stations set up that provide different types of food each day. There's a grill station for hamburgers and wings, a Mexican food station, a salad bar, and at least one more. The variety of options is nice, although there's definitely not anything very unique or special about the offerings here. Prices for entrees average around $9, while side items are typically $2-4. I ended up ordering the "lab burger" with a side of garlic fries. The burger and fries were decent, and I was pleased with the bacon, sprouts, and avocado toppings. Somehow it appeared as though the entire cafeteria had run out of ketchup, but there was still sriracha available. At the end of the day, this place is a cafeteria and it knows it is a cafeteria. Tables can be a little dirty, there is no exceptional service, and the food is nothing special for the price. The redeeming qualities would be the ease of access for LBNL employees and the beautiful view out towards SF from many of the tables. The water here was full bodied and on the softer side.

They had three different stations with a salad bar. Grill station had hamburgers and wings, a Mexican food station, a salad bar, and at least one more. The variety of options were nice, although there was not anything special the menu. Even more, prices for entrees averaged around $9+, while side items are typically $2-4. With a drink, that average price was $15. For the quality of the meal and the average food, it was not worth it. Their service was decent. For example, today, I ordered steel cut oatmeal; I purchased it before the line got long. But I waited 30 minutes. I asked the chef, and he rudely looked at me. And then addressed me that he would take care of it. He went away. 15 minutes passed. I asked another guy, and he said it was going to take an additional 10 minutes. I had to go back to work, so I left without the oatmeal and my refund. Rating Food: 2 Service: 3 Ambience: 4 (Great view of the Bay Area from the hill top, especially on a clear day.) Price: 2 Overall: 2 Unfortunately, this is the only option. But it is worth taking the bus to campus restaurants.

Second time trying to write this review since the algorithm won't allow it to post with degrading…read morecomments about our beloved governor and his hand in destroying restaurants during the unnecessary "the vid" hysteria. Dropped in here while my car was getting worked on.  Not sure why the less than stellar reviews 'cause I thought it was great. Also for a restaurant to be open this long is an achievement especially after what occured needlessly. I had the Spinach and Artichoke Frittata on a bed of potatoes and greens off of the Spring Specials menu. In my opinion this needs to be on the daily menu. I love a good fritatta and this was probably the best I can remember as far back as I can recall. It was packed with spinach and artichokes and just enough egg and cheeses to hold the whole thing together. Very filling. The dried tomato pesto on top was a very nice touch. Coffee was great and service perfect. Even though there is a  self serve coffee and water refill station staff continually came by to fill coffee and water and just check on me. They also have beer and wine and for the ladies....Momos!!!!! There is a parklet on Dwight as well as seating against the building. Next time I need to wait for my car or find myself hungry in Berkeley I'm coming here. And great music. Side note: Originally opened in 1979 and sold to Collin in 2011 who used to be a customer growing up in the area and actually worked here before owning it and still runs daily operations. So the story goes.
