    Five beignets in one order, this sells itself!
    Jim D.

    You had me at beignets. This is the closest I will get to Cafe du Monde in East Bay and this place impressed me! I've been to Cafe du Monde three times in LOLA and the chef here hits a home run! Light, fluffy with sprinkles of white powered sugar and fried just right!! There are sandwiches and fries on the menu but the hook is the beignets. Parking is free within a certain time period but there is a voluminous amount of spaces. Not much table seating so eat in your car because you have to eat these hot and fresh! This place is open from Thursday to Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm so plan accordingly. This food cart is located behind the Hyatt house hotel. If you want to savor your beignets with good coffee across the street is Peet's coffee which is great also! Be patient the chef is flying solo but worth every calorie! Enjoy!

    Beignets. Half off on Fridays!

    Delicious beignets available in Emeryville! Very affordable menu. I devoured the breakfast sandwich, so easy to eat! Don't forget the sweet strawberry dipping sauce! Look for the small food truck somewhere parked in the parking lot behind Hyatt House. He's a one-man show with great service. Hoping he stays around.

    Potato puffs

    Potato puffs are better than Gregoire's. Super crispy and lightly salted exterior with seasoned and airy interior. Pairs well with the green sauce (refreshing) or chipotle ketchup (smoky). Got a sample of the beignet which was also delicious with the strawberry sauce (not too sweet).

    I'd been eagerly awaiting the opening of this place. I tried their beignets on a pre-opening weekend and knew they were delicious. The strawberry sauce is a great addition, and they have just the right amount of powdered sugar. They are small and delicious. Great taste and texture. Today I alsogot poutine. It was delicious and one of the better ones I've had in the US. Cheese curds could be a tuny bit meltier, but the overall experience was excellent. The person who runs the place is friendly and helpful, and he prepares orders quickly. There's a table to sit at, and he'll bring your order to you if you're eating there. Great food and great service; I highly recommend this place!

    The sauce I could drink!

    Amazing and delicious! I wish I could recreate the strawberry sauce, it's fabulous! Not crazy expensive and quick.

    Fresh beignets, yummy breakfast sandwich, hot coffee, and fairly quick service too. The owner is really nice. If you're looking for a tasty brunch that won't break the bank (plenty of $5 items) check this place out. Ambiance - there is a tent so it's covered from the sun and you have the fresh air and blue skies so what's not to like?

    Breakfast sandwich

    Found this little food truck on Google maps. Decided to check them out for a breakfast sandwich. Service was quick, obviously made on the spot. And service was also incredibly friendly. My breakfast sandwich was above and beyond what I expected and the spicy ketchup and some kind of mayo were an added bonus making it extra flavorful.

    Amazing beignets!

The interior makes one feel that you are in a high end cafe with its beautiful decor. Some many items to choose from, the person taking my order was very helpful in explaining the different kinds of drinks and pastries. Ordered the Ginger Honey Jobani as a hot drink, Biscoff Milkcake, Honeycomb, and a Beef Fatayer. There were several kinds of milkcakes which would have the texture like a tres leches cake. The Honeycomb had pockets of cream cheese and was drizzles with honey. The Meat Fatayer is like an empanada. The food and drink were very tasty.

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.

That's what really drew us in. Very tasty breakfast, got the injera breakfast plate filled with lots of spices, tomato flavor and tang from the bread. Super addicting if you love those flavors. Very thankful to be given a side of yogurt to help cool the heat down. Definitely would order this again, but maybe add my own mix-ins like an egg or more protein since it's very carb heavy. Inside wise, you can watch two tv's playing sports, our waitress/cashier was very kind, and it appeared like many locals hanging out. Only thing is their menu prices are out of date. About $13 plus tax per plate. Hope to come back at night to see the bar open and some live music!

I will say, if you have somewhere to be *ORDER ONLINE*. I got there and was told to order from the self serve tablet (I could have done this on my phone ahead of time), but I put in my order and sat down to wait for it. At the 22 min mark, the two groups of two behind me got their food before I did, so I went up to the worker behind the bar and asked if my order was ready and I was told mine would be next. All in all- took 32 mins. So again, if you have somewhere to be- order ahead! Food was good. Could definitely tell it was made fresh to order - not only because it took some time but because my friend cauliflower came out PIPING hot. Lots of oil drippings, so if that isn't your thing, may not be for you, but I will say that it was my fav bite. This was a good restaurant- I would say 4 stars for the food alone. BUT if you're in a pinch, either order online or maybe save this spot for when you have more time. Also- I know that good quality food is pricey, this place is no exception. But you pay for what you get and the quality is better than that of fast food.

While this visit was in between the lunch and dinner rush, unfortunately I think they are understaffed because at the time we sat down there was only 1 person who was busing tables and taking orders. As a result, it took a while for them to be able to stop by our table and provide water, take our order, etc. There was quite a long wait between sitting down to ordering to actually receiving our food. By the time we had actually received our food, almost an hour had passed. While we were waiting, a few other servers eventually joined, but service was still pretty bare for us and we never received refills on water or plates to eat off of when we received our food. I understand that staffing and a backup in the kitchen are out of the staff's control, but it would've definitely helped for us to know in advance how long to expect to wait to align our expectations and arrange our plans for the day. Would advise giving customers a quick heads up/warning because that on its own would've made a big difference. As for the actual food, we ordered the mac trio with elote mac, chicken pot pie mac, and kogi short rib mac (for an extra fee). The elote mac was the best and most flavorful, the short rib mac was okay but not amazing or worth the extra money, and the chicken pot pie mac was very bland/flavorless and didn't have much chicken in it. The food didn't feel like it warranted the wait time and because of that I would not return.

    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.
