Ambiance
Krupa T.

The cafe is super adorable and looks like a great place to hang out or do work. You can tell they put a lot of effort into intentionally making the space work from the layout to having a lot of mounted power strips. The staff was friendly and the service was good. We were one of 3 seated guests when we went. The food was decent and the coffee was good. The seasoned potatoes were the best part of the burrito! I wish it had more eggs and the pico felt too herb heavy and tomato light for what I was expecting. My fiancé liked the turkey sausage and the waffle was crispy but didn't stand out. I would recommend getting one of the options with the seasoned potatoes. It was the most memorable part of my meal.

Finding breakfast and lunch in downtown Oakland has been hard. Especially since a lot of businesses has closed due to less traffic. Well I'm glad I gave this place a try and I hope this encourages you to take a chance on a new business. The place has an elevated modern style the warm colors of the decor was calming. The staff was so pleasant and attentive. From the cashier, to the chef from the persons in the kitchen. All very welcoming. I went two days in a row for the pan seared Salmon. It was delicious simple and with the price. The flavor was consistent both days. However my coworker thought it was too seasoned, so it really depends on your flavor preference. But I thought it was perfect I can't wait to try their breakfast sandwiches and matcha!

Breakfast sandwich (on sourdough) & breakfast potatoes

Freshly made breakfast was absolutely delicious. Filling without being stuffed. My food snob of a son said his burrito was perfect. Very friendly staff with a relaxing vibe. Could totally see the space as an option if you need a placce to work that's not your office.

Mediterranean Steak Salad
Shaneka S.

I had the best steak salad I have ever had. I had the Steak Mediterranean salad and it was the bomb. My only complaints are I would of liked more lettuce and the service was laking. Service was kinda slow for a salad and smoothie. Placed my order more than 30 minutes before they closed. And then I ran an errand around the corner. When I went to pick up my food up she forgot to make my smoothie. I had to ask for a refund, but because the quality of the Steak and dressing was really good I'm definitely giving them another try.

Great new spot in Oakland. Recently went for breakfast, and everything was delicious! Great coffee too. Menu has a lot of options for breakfast and lunch. Service was excellent, staff were so friendly and welcoming. The ambiance is inviting, love the plants and artwork. Definitely try this place out if you're looking for a new breakfast or brunch spot.

Time of operation
Terry P.

This is a wonderful spot for breakfast and lunch. I stopped in to grab me something for breakfast before I got my day started. And the service here is really nice and fast.

Came in and looked at their menu and noticed they offered Hibiscus Latte and it caught my attention because I have not heard about it before. It was something new and great tasting, like hibiscus tea but thicker which gave it an element of texture which I enjoyed.

Divine pastry!!!
Naomi R.

My staff rushed out on break to grab coffee. When they returned I found this divine French pastry at my desk! I don't know what it's called but I do know I have never had anything as delicious as this!! It was like a sweet, crunchy yet soft croissant. Very reminiscent of those palmier cookies. It was fresh and still warm, I savored every single bite! My taste buds were in heaven! I cannot wait to go for myself and find more deliciousness!! Note: I was told this pastries are sold at Marin's but outsourced from a local bakery!

This was hands down the BEST breakfast sandwich i've had
Akanesi P.

I'm going to start with the Customer Service- IMPECCABLE! I ordered a Breakfast Sandwich with Turkey sausage on Brioche -- like what the in the heck! Pure DELICIOUSNESS! The bread was oh so soft, the components in the sandwich, an over easy fried egg, PERFECTION! I enjoyed every last bite, and let's not forget the Country style Potatoes, the amount of flavors that were tap dancing on my taste buds. Very very cute ambiance, it was very welcoming, you know when you walk into a place and it has a warmth feeling?! This is one of those places. 10/10, If your in the Downtown Oakland area and want a BOMB Breakfast Sandwich, this is at the top of the list! Try it you will NOT be disappointed!

Breakfast sandwich with turkey patty and cheddar cheese

Super cute place! It's really clean with nice seating. The breakfast sandwich was delicious, and there are so many specialty lattes and matcha options.

I got the breakfast burrito bowl is came up to like $14 and some change, with bacon(meat change to sausage is $4). I love how it looks in here very bright and a cool vibe. Nice staff. The burrito bowl was delicious and very filling seasoned to perfection. There's guest WiFi if you want to work in the cafe also, ordering ahead isn't available yet. Seems to be black owned so go support!!

Kaselah C.

The menu is perfect for the location and breakfast/lunch. Consistency and quality is always 10/10. The café is always well kept and a nice vibe. Plus they have wifi!

Salmon Salad

"I really enjoyed my food! The salmon had a great crust without being dry, and the place was super cute and very clean."

I also appreciate the creative ways he involves the community, from inviting guests to write each other loving sticky notes to partnering with local artists to bring joy to our lives.

Notably, their drip coffee is really good! This is our go to stop if we have run out of coffee to brew at home and we frequently drop in for a quick couple of cups of drip. Whatever they are brewing on any given day is really tasty! I have to think their pour overs would be fantastic. One thing we sort of wish they had was a comfy couch and some books, and maybe a nice rug or something? A little something to make it feel cozier if we were to stay there with or drinks, but that being said we will continue to make this our go to place for good coffee on the weekends. Don't get me wrong, they do have lot of good seating options, and not the tippy, high barstool types without back support that seem designed to discourage people from staying long. They are already set up as a good place to hang and work or study for a bit! All around, they are a great edition to the neighborhood!

I finally tried this out since we were eating at a place nearby and got lucky and parked right across from this shop. They not only have juices and teas. They sell other items, fresh veggies, fresh fruits and California Lottery Tickets. ----LOCATION---- - Located in Chinatown - Street Parking, plan accordingly or drive with someone and have a friend hop out of the car for order pick up ---HOW TO ORDER/PAY---- - Order/Pay in Person or on a variety of food apps like Uber Eats but also you can order through YELP. - I recommend ordering on YELP or another food app so that pick up is quick and efficient. ____DRINKS____ ----CANTALOUPE & STRAWBERRY JUICE---- - I created this using their "3 Choice" Juice option - Super refreshing! Especially on a hot day - Keep in mind that they are no added sugars, it's straight up fruit and not so sweet - Super healthy! ---- VITMAIN C TEAM---- - This is one of their pre-made juices that is ready for purchase. - They make it themselves - Great for if you're feeling sick, around sick people or for before/after a trip and you need that extra vitamin c boost! - A heads up, the ginger taste is strong in this ----DRAGON FRUIT SMOOTHIE---- - This is was refreshing and tasty. I liked how it wasn't too sweet. My boyfriend originally ordered this but didn't like it so much because it tasted like "Earth" but that's the whole point for it to be no additives and straight fruits and no artificial flavoring... more for me because I drank his smoothie LOL ---SERVICE---- -Service is amazing. They are very kind and grateful. If you have any questions regarding their drinks, they will explain them to you. ---RESTROOMS/INTERIOR--- - No restrooms - It's a small corner shop - This is a more of a grab and go type of establishment ----REASONS FOR MY 5 STARS---- - Variety of fruits and veggies for drinks - Great customer service, they were/are very patient and kind to everyone that they interact with while I was waiting for my drinks

I pedaled my bike over there this Wednesday morning, aiming to secure a proper breakfast that would actually carry me past 11 a.m. The shop is cozy, definitely on the smaller side with a few seats inside, giving it that familiar, neighborhood spot feel. It's not a sprawling, antiseptic café, and I appreciate that. I ordered the Laney Breakfast Sandwich, which features egg, fresh spinach, sliced turkey, and Swiss cheese on a toasted English muffin. What impressed me was the intentionality--this wasn't something sitting under a heat lamp, looking defeated. It was clearly made to order. The egg was seasoned right, the turkey wasn't flimsy, and the spinach added that necessary fresh bite. It was a damn good sandwich, simple as that. I paired that with the Berry Lovers Smoothie. The original recipe calls for banana, but I asked if they could swap that out for mango. My people know that mango adds a different kind of sunshine, and they executed the substitution flawlessly. It came out thick, perfectly blended--a rich mix of blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and that mango kick. It was super refreshing and didn't taste like I was drinking melted ice. The service was quick and friendly, which is key on a weekday morning. Everything tasted clean, fresh, and intentionally prepared. If you're looking for high-quality breakfast fare that feels less commercial and more like something someone actually cares about, stop by. The short bike ride and the intimate seating are worth it for what comes out of that kitchen. They earned this review.

Plus they gave a good boba proportion! The popcorn chicken was not spicy enough for me so I used the powder they had near the seating area. I think they try to not make it too spicy because a lot of families and kiddos order it so they probably don't want to make it very spicy. You can sit here too as you wait or as you eat.

My friend and I had seen the breakfast sandwich on Instagram almost two years ago (I know!) and it was on our "places to go for brunch or lunch" list. When we saw the post on IG they were still in San Francisco and I don't get over to that side of the Bay often unless it's for something specific. I happened to be over there last Wednesday morning and thought about the sandwich, looked them up and saw that they were now in Oakland! So I grabbed my daughter from school and we went to try it for the first time. I had the brisket biscuit, she had the spam bowl and both were delicious! I'm very picky about lemonade, and theirs is one of the best I've had in a long time. Not too sweet or sour and very refreshing. Everything was so good that I came back the next day with the friend I made the list with for a lunch we'd already planned but hadn't decided where to go. He had a brisket biscuit and enjoyed his food so much he said he would also be back. I had the breakfast sando and it was as good as it looked on the post I saw. We also both had the adaptogen coffee with ashwaganda and enjoyed it very much. My daughter and I decided to eat out for lunch today and when I asked where she wanted to go, she immediately said , "No question, Cafe Da Fonk". So we're back, her for the second and me the third time and it most certainly will not be our last. If it's on the list, just go. The owner Yasmeen is super sweet and has created a cute, vibey space with great food and drinks, please support her!
