Eggs Benny - Smokey Bacon Benny
Estefania S.

This was my first visit with my entire family and all I can say is this place did not disappoint. From the server to the food everyone was so nice and the food was 10/10 . The inside of the restaurant is quite charming offering a pleasant atmosphere I will definitely be back soon.

Bowls - Omega Bowl
Philip-John T.

Came here for brunch. We ordered the Smokey Salmon Benny and Omega Bowl. The Smokey Salmon Benny was good. Loved the combo of smoked salmon with Hollandaise sauce. The eggs tasted great and the avocado was creamy. The English muffin was toasted well. The salad was great with the Italian dressing. Great brunch option. The Omega Bowl was good, too. Big portion size. Excellent mix of veggies with the grilled salmon. There was cucumber, edamame, tomatoes, avocado, arugula, spinach, and lettuce. The quinoa was delicious. The sweet potatoes tasted great. Loved the sesame dressing. Tasty and healthy is an excellent combination. We ended the meal with their boba drinks: Passion Fruit Green Tea with Boba and Honey Citron Kumquat Green Tea with Lychee Jelly. The Passion Fruit Green Tea was sweet and a little bit tart. Great balance of flavors and the boba were nice and chewy. The Honey Citron Kumquat Green Tea was refreshing. The Kumquat flavor mixed well with the green tea and the lychee jelly gave it a great texture. Service was great. Very efficient and friendly staff. Did not have to wait too long for our food to arrive. Great vibes in Berkeley. Glad to have stopped here for brunch.

Omelets - California Omelet
Vanessa F.

Found this place with some friends on a Monday morning and it was so good I can't wait to go back! When we arrived there was a slight line out the door and throughout our entire meal maintained a line through the doors. The inside is a bit smaller but very well maintained and decorated so cute. They were very busy but with good reason everything was amazing. Everyone in our group ordered something different so we could get a feel for the variety they offered and everyone enjoyed their meals so much the table was quiet. Service was a tad bit long and we were surprised since it was Monday morning but now we understand why. It is locally owned so please be patient with wait time as it is a smaller staff but the wait is beyond worth it. Even though I don't live in Berkeley this will easily be a go to spot any time in the area.

A cute brunch spot on Solano with a menu that makes you want to come back and try more. Went today with Face for breakfast after wanting to try this place since Monday. Luckily there was no line and we were seated immediately. I ordered the Carb Platter, which came with French toast, a croffle, waffle, fruit, berries, a creamy dipping sauce, and a side of bacon. The French toast was definitely the standout for me -- really flavorful and well done. The waffle had a nice crisp texture, and the croffle was buttery with good flavor as well. The bacon unfortunately missed the mark. It was very limp and chewy instead of crispy, almost like it had been boiled rather than cooked properly. Face ordered the California Omelette, which came with potatoes topped with a garlic pesto situation that was honestly really good. For drinks, I had the caramel latte, which was decent but could've used a little more sweetness. Face ordered the strawberry matcha latte, which had an adorable bear-shaped matcha ice cube on top -- super cute presentation -- though she also felt it could've used a bit more strawberry flavor and sweetness. Overall, definitely a place I'd come back to because there were several other things on the menu I'd like to try. Street parking only and metered, so plan ahead a little. Also realized this is where the old pastrami spot used to be -- RIP

My friends and I were very excited to try this spot, but it unfortunately missed the mark. The interior was cute and the potatoes were not bad, but the service was quite disappointing. We all wanted to get the strawberry matcha for their iconic cute bear on top, but they ended up not having it. What made it even worse was that they didn't bother telling us until after we received our drinks. They also gave us boba straws, and when we asked for regular white straws (which we saw being given to other tables), they told us to keep what we had because our drinks contained strawberry. They even took away our utensils while we were waiting for our food, and we had to wait a good 10 minutes after the food arrived just to flag someone down and get them back. Honestly, our list of grievances went on, but it was not great, to say the least. I'm not one to bash service, and I understand when a place is busy, but their overall attitude could have been much better. The wait was around 30 minutes to get a table at 12:45 PM. The strawberry matcha was very sweet and tasted like artificial green tea ice cream. I ordered the garden scramble, which was just okay--I could honestly make a better one at home. Overall, I don't think I would recommend this spot.

Our meal!

We came on a random afternoon - and got lucky with a table right away! Almost immediately after, the place started filling up. Definitely a great new addition to the community. Staff was kind, prompt. Checked on us appropriately without being intrusive and vice versa. Plenty of parking including meter and street. Portions are HUGE! The star of the show was the carb sampler (and the side of potatoes dare i say). And don't skip out on the coffee/ other drinks. Otherwise, definitely a good (but not amazing) brunch. Still would come back. Plenty of space to catch up with a friend. Clean.

Eggs Benny - Smokey Salmon Benny Sweet Tooth - Waffle with Berries Omelets - California Omelet
Gabrielle P.

This was our first time here, and we really enjoyed the food! I got the salmon Benedict, my husband ordered an omelette, and we also got a waffle to go. Everything tasted great and had lots of flavor. We definitely plan on coming back! The only reason I wouldn't give the experience a full 5 stars was the customer service. Since it was our first time, I asked our waitress for recommendations and her opinion on a few menu options, but the response was mostly just that "everything is good." She wasn't rude at all, but I was hoping for a little more guidance, and the interaction felt a bit rushed. She may have just been busy, so I completely understand! Overall, the food was delicious, and we will definitely be back to try different food options off of the menu.

Eggs Benny - Benedict Royale Eggs Any Style
Batchimeg B.

Found a little gem on Solano Ave! My friend invited me here, and I'm so glad she did. I got the ribeye steak with house-fried potatoes and scrambled eggs, plus a latte. My friend ordered the Royale Benedict. Everything was SO good-- flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

Sweet Tooth - Carb Sampler
Romelia R.

A solid breakfast/brunch choice on Solano Ave with a lot of seating suitable for small and big groups. There's only street parking so you might have to circle a few times to find a spot. We waited about 15min to be seated. The Garden Scramble and Meat Lovers' Scramble both came with an Acme toast slice and very well seasoned potatoes that had a green sauce that gave them a perfect touch. We didn't like that the avocado in the Garden Scramble was mixed in the scramble instead of put as a topping. The Meat Lovers' Scramble was our favorite for a good balance of meats and veggies, which didn't make it too heavy of a dish. The Spam Fried Rice was also one of our favorites! The sweet potatoes and spam was not a combo we knew we needed in our fried rice but it was delicious! The eggs over it and seaweed on the side brought it all together. We finished with the Carb Sampler. A sample of their French toast, waffle, and croffle topped with fruit and a house made whipped cream. The French toast was the winner of the three for its fluffiness. We didn't think the grapes on the croffle was a good combo, but the croffle itself was really good. Although the staff was really nice, the service was lacking all around. We saw a lot of people around us also trying to flag down a server. We waited some time to get utensils at the beginning of our meal and then again at the end to get our bill. They only checked on us once so they weren't as attentive.

Goddess Bowl

Even through the wait time was 11-23 minutes, the seating was fast and the place was packed. Everyone seemed to be enjoying what they were eating. Tables were solid wood and easy to clean and we were attended pretty fast with just enough time to browse the menu without feeling rushed. When the food arrived, man it was way tastier than we expected. Everything was fresh, you can tell they put the time into each dish, and even the coffee (no pictures because we drank it too fast) was fresh and didn't taste like an old pot. Will be coming back for sure.

Scrambles - Garden Scramble and Sweet Tooth - Crispy Chicken & waffle croissant
Genevie I.

Order: 1 Garden Scramble 1 Chicken and Waffle Croissant 1 Iced Matcha Latte with oat milk Visited this place for the first time on 2/27/26, and the food was phenomenal! I was beyond pleased with the quality and taste of everything. It has quickly become one of my top favorite breakfast spots. Their menu offers so many options beyond just breakfast, which I absolutely love. The variety makes it easy to want to come back and try something new each time. As we walked in, a man said, "The food was amazing," and it definitely lived up to his comment. The service was great. The staff was attentive, friendly, and very welcoming. The ambiance is nice, though seating is limited indoors and there's no outdoor seating. When we arrived, the restaurant was pretty full, but we didn't have to wait for a table. The art and decorations are beautiful, and the women's restroom was clean. Parking was definitely a challenge on a Friday at 12 PM since the area is busy overall. There's no designated customer parking--only street parking that you must pay for. We were able to find a spot after looping around a couple of times. 10/10 -- I strongly recommend this amazing breakfast/brunch spot! I'll definitely be back to try more dishes.

Nice place for a lunch if your out strolling Solano Ave. Ambiance: 4/5 Nice, modern ambiance in here. Not a huge dining area, but it has a nice vibe. Food: 5/5 I really enjoyed my food. I got a breakfast sandwich and my wife got the veggie scramble. The food was really good and potatoes were cooked perfectly. Price: 3/5 The price was fairly average restaurant price for the area. Not great, not bad. Customer Service: 2.3-3/5 The servers were all very nice, they just got some things wrong and forgot some things. My father-in-law ordered over medium eggs and they brought out scrambled, then we ordered coffee and they didn't bring out any cream or sugar (or even ask if we wanted any) and they didn't come around much to fill up the water jug. It was average busy, not really busy. They definitely need to tighten those things up. Parking: 2/5 It's parking on Solano, so it's going to depend on the day how easy it will be to find parking. And it's paid parking on the street, so don't forget to pay the meter.

Christine F.

Come early because this place has a line out the door! If you want table seating, the entire party must be present. We ordered the ABC Panini and Beef Teriyaki and I'd say it's a pretty well portioned and priced meal. Service was great as well. Parking is easy to find so I definitely would come back!

Is necessary to make reservation?

No reservations are necessary. Walk ins are welcome.

How about a vegan option? It's hard to eat out for breakfast when you don't eat eggs. Tofu scramble? Eggless waffle? Soyrizzo?

I believe they do, but would recommend you call them and ask. I know they have avocado toast but am unsure whether the bread is vegan.

Anything gluten free?

We have Gluten Free bread upon request. You can order pretty much anything with Gluten free toast.

Hours? Don't see any information about this so guess we have to pass on going today !

Our hours are under info but it is Everyday 8am-3pm☺️

What's their hours?

I'm not sure how early they open, maybe 8 or 8:30, but I know they close at 3.

I usually get the chicken and waffles, but he ordered it anyways so I got lucky to be able to still have a few bites. I ordered the "Breakfast" which came with 2 eggs however you want (I got mine over easy), hash browns, toast and either bacon or chicken sausage. I got the chicken sausage. For a drink, I had the Aquatic Park Sunrise. It was good. Not too sweet and strong enough that I wanted another lol My friend just had coffee which the staff made sure to always ask if he wanted refilled. Breakfast came quick. The chicken and waffles is a classic. I always order it when I come. Chicken was thick and juicy. I didn't try the waffle this time since I had my own food to eat (plus I've had it so many times before). This plate comes with either gravy or syrup but definitely pay the extra fee to get both. My dish was simple and delicious. Can't go wrong with eggs, hash browns and sausage. Love coming here and so happy they don't try to switch up anything too much. Came in and didn't have to wait for a table which is not always the case cause it's a busy place. Everyone is always so nice. Great place to come, great service and great food.

I got the Strawberry Lychee Roasted Matcha Latte (Hojicha) and the Ube Coconut Butter Mochi Donut As I've been more into hojicha lately, I had to try the strawberry and lychee flavor! It was perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. I loved it! The donut was so chewy and delicious, and the Ube flavor on top was amazing. I also love that it's an open kitchen, so you can actually see them making everything fresh. It smells SO good when you walk in! Definitely add this place to your list if you're around the area! FYI, there's no designated parking lot, but there's plenty of street parking around. There's also no seating inside. Hopefully they open more locations around the Peninsula because this combo is too good! PLEASE!

Especially at the price point, you expect a more premium drink. The matcha was gritty and tasted mostly like milk, with just an essence of whatever flavor it was paired with. For the price, I was expecting something much more flavorful and refined. The donuts were fine, but nothing particularly special or memorable. Overall, I just don't think the drinks or donuts justify the price compared to what's available now.

We had been to Tarocco for lunch and figured we would ask them for a quote, too. My daughter warned me that the owner is trying to be an "influencer" on Instagram and posts photos of herself in crop Tops so I should beware, but that's fine by me. We called to get a quote and had a discussion. After we gave the owner all of our information, she told us she wouldn't give us a quote unless we came in person (?!) Which is weird because this isn't how restaurants work. Typically for events restaurants will give you a quote via phone or email for the sake of convenience. We had gotten 3 quotes already from other restaurants via phone. Making us drive 45 mins just to get a quote is a total waste of time. Especially if we can't afford it. So my daughter called again, left a VM explaining we couldn't come in person due to time constraints, and again asked for a quote. No reply. We waited a few days and called again. No reply. Finally we got a voicemail from the owner saying that she didn't like my daughter's attitude ?!!! Apparently you're not allowed to ask this restaurant how much they charge for events unless you're face to face. This lady has absolutely no idea how to run a restaurant. We took our business elsewhere and recommend that you do, too.

The workers and the owner were all very kind and welcoming. I got there a little after they opened in the morning. As for the food, I ordered the kimchi fried rice along with the chicken and croffle. The fried chicken tasted a bit interesting. I'm not sure if the frying temperature was off or if it had something to do with the condition of the oil, but the texture of the breading wasn't quite right. I used to work at a fried chicken shop in Korea, so it was a texture I recognized--the coating was fully cooked and wasn't necessarily soggy, but there was no real crunch. Instead of being crispy, the breading was soft and kind of gave way when you bit into it. Unfortunately, I couldn't continue eating it. I'd give the chicken a 2/5. As for the kimchi fried rice, I liked the addition of cilantro and beets, which gave it a refreshing touch. My only issue was that the kimchi itself was way too sour for kimchi fried rice. I don't mind fermented or sour kimchi, but in this case, the sourness overpowered the rest of the dish. Overall, the cafe itself is cute and the people working there were genuinely very kind. I just wish the food had been a little better, especially the fried chicken. Will be back next time to try out the coffee!! It is a cafe after all.

I think the best part about the dish was the potatoes, which was more like shredded hash browns that were very crispy and had great flavor. The Veggie Omelette itself was just okay, and could have used some more flavorful veggies, but the dish was offset by the potatoes. The orange juice was also fresh squeezed, which was nice. Overall, I really enjoyed the food and the fact that they did not rush us out. That was really nice and makes it a good place to have a leisurely brunch given the amount of space they have.

This is a crazy place! And so much fun. So many delicious things to try and an eclectic menu very…read morebefitting of Berkeley. It's called Cali Alley because it's literally down an alley. Cool right? The food is high quality and the variety is huge. Everything from pork belly bao buns to buttermilk waffles to loco moco! If you're looking for the high end Berkeley vibe, come to this place. FOOD: Really good. I got the Bahn Mi Burger and enjoyed it a lot. The ground beef is brisket so better than your average burger and the pork belly was a pretty nice slice! The various toppings really rounded out the taste and it was basically a bahn mi burger. We also tried the mac and cheese and REALLY good. I don't think we thought we would finish it up but between three of us we did (in addition to our other food). Love that you can also lettuce wrap any sandwich or get a gluten free bun. SERVICE: The folks are very nice. It's quick service so you do have to clean up after yourselves, but everything is plated nicely and the serving sizes are plentiful. COST: $20 burgers. That gives you an idea. But they are nice big burgers. And like I said the quality of the ingredients are top notch. Definitely worth the $20 if you can afford it.
