Fast and great service! Great place with lots of seating for a Sunday brunch. The potatoes are the star here, seasoned really well. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and lots of little shops around to walk after

Tuscany Savory Crepe
Alice W.

Cute little brunch spot on Piedmont with so many options from savory to sweet! The portions are very big so it's definitely shareable or even have a portion for a second meal later in the day. The servers are friendly and knowledgeable, helping us when we were stuck between two options. I would come back to try other savory crepes and even some sweet crepe options!

First of all the crêpes are very crispy and flavorful! We stopped in for brunch on a Saturday morning, and everything was inviting and classically set up in the restaurant. You do have to go up to the counter, place an order and take a number but they do deliver to your table and continue to check on you throughout your meal. We went in during a rainy day, it was cold inside, so I ordered a beautiful hot chocolate to go with my meal! The hashbrowns were very tasty. This place is definitely one of my new faves and The salad was fresh by the way. Strongly, recommend for anyone! The dining area is large enough for families, friends, and get togethers.. they do serve beer and wine for those types of occasions! If you've been having a craving for crêpes, this is the place to go! Clean restrooms Plenty of street parking

La Suisse French Toast

Super yummy food with and a fun menu to explore. The sandwiches come with both fries and salad so no need to make a tough decision on sides. The mimosa was made with fresh orange juice which made it super refreshing.

I got the pacific sandwich, potatoes, a salad, and mango iced tea delicious sandwich and great service.

Siena Crepe
Chad M.

What a great stop. Sweet Siena crepe was amazing. Tri Berry was also a winner. Great service. Great food. Can't wait to come back and have breakfast.

Here are the address and hours and the website.

The food, service and ambience was great. Will eat there again for sure. I had a sweet crêpe and it was great. Had a cappuccino which was great coffee. My friend had the homemade corned beef hash. He loved it.

Lox Bagel
Erica M.

I'm actually not a crepe person. I've never had one from here (LOL), but the rest of the menu is really delicious and keeps me coming back. I've been here a number of times with my husband and am never disappointed. It's a great spot for a lowkey brunch or lunch. They have seating both indoors and outside which makes for a nice open airy atmosphere. The staff is nice and your order comes out pretty quickly. The menu is extensive so there's literally something for everybody. During this visit I ordered the New Orleans Crab Cake Benedict: perfectly poached egg, rich & luscious cajun hollandaise sauce that is seasoned nicely but not at all spicy (I wish it were though - I love spice). The crab cake is well made with a crispy edges and tons of crab. It comes with a generous side of potatoes that are tasty when dressed up with a little hot sauce and ketchup. My husband ordered the lox bagel which he seemed to thoroughly enjoy. They make it a full meal with fries and a salad so you definitely get the bang for your buck. We both also ordered mimosas which are super good because they use fresh squeezed orange juice (it makes all the difference). I'll be back of course.

Parmesan Chicken Sandwich
Veronica L.

Edgar was really nice for our first visit. He helped us decide between two entrees. Went with his recommendation of the Parmesan chicken sandwich which was really good. Kids loved their mini burgers w cheese and fries which was really affordable at $6.95. The safari cooler drink was delicious and unique also and only $3.95. The other lady who served the food was also really nice. Recommend this place for their wide selection of food, affordable prices, good food, and friendly staff.

Visiting the area - 1st time @ this place. Very casual atmosphere. Indoor and Outdoor seating available. It s a beautiful day today, so I m sitting out, facing the Piedmont. Metered parking available. Non metered as well a little further down ( hope I don't get a ticket) You order at the counter, you get a number and they bring your food to you at the table of your choice. Counter staff very nice - took the time to answer the questions I had. Ordered the Sienna. See picture Crepe itself was not spectacular. So I am giving this place a 3 as I think it is just average/eatable food.

Crepe Pan, Crepevine. To-MAY-to, to-MAH-to. I'm not sure what the difference is between its current name and its previous identity, Crepevine. I'm guessing now that it's not part of the Crepevine chain that the owners have more free rein in determining the menu. But at least from my recollection, the menu doesn't look that different. Even the chalkboard menu looked identical. That didn't bother me because I don't mind another lunch option that looked familiar. Their standard offering of crepes, sandwiches, and salads worked for me. I went for the small $10.25 Athena Salad. I found it quite a generous plateful of freshness with romaine, tomatoes, cucumber, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and red onions tossed in an oregano vinaigrette and a dinner roll on the side (photo: https://bit.ly/3ysW02s). I also ordered the $5.50 cup of Chicken Veggie Soup, a somewhat thin broth but yet another robust portion with plenty of poultry and chopped veggies as well as yet another dinner roll (photo: https://bit.ly/3a2DXqx). They could've saved the second one, but what the hey. EE-thuh, EYE-thuh. NEE-thuh, NYE-thuh. Let's call the whole thing off. FOOD - 4 stars...soup and salad done right, one roll is fine AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...I heard it through the Crepevine SERVICE - 4 stars...quite efficient TOTAL - 4 stars...the lunch option you always need RELATED - Exploring Piedmont Avenue?

We did the Miso Tuna roll, and it was sublime... Super attentive and friendly service, delivering the freshest, most fragrant and delicious rolls I think I've ever tried. Get the combo of the peanut and green sauce...and saturate the roll with the vinegary herbaceous green sauce...it's a taste that immediately made me sit up and take notice.

I can see why this is a Yelp favorite for a meetup. However, the food didn't do it for me. While it's pricey, portions are large. However, the Oakland wrap I had was pretty underwhelming. Bright fresh crisp veggies rolled into a wrap with a spicy cilantro lime dressing. The Oakland came with chicken and it was unappetizing. It was flavorless, and chewy and looked funky. Not freshly cooked seemingly. It gave off bagged chicken vibes. The spicy cilantro lime sauce was overpoweringly spicy. The whole thing didn't work for me. My friends salad, was pricey, and huge, but again, a little underwhelming when it came down to the salad. A lot of greens with a half of an avocado, dressed. Overall, drinks and maybe the pastries, yes. Such a cute and relaxing cafe to catch up with friends or solo dine. If you happen to be a vegan or very veggie forward, this may call out to you more, but as someone who appreciates veggies and fresh eats, this still rang up as underwhelming and not quite worth the price tag.

There was a short wait for our sandwiches since the bánh mì is made to order, but it wasn't too bad. I got the lemongrass pork bánh mì ($12.65), and it was BUSS I'm honestly not even the biggest bánh mì fan, but this was fire. The cilantro, pickled radish, jalapeño, and mayo all worked really well together, and everything tasted super fresh. My favorite part was definitely the toasted baguette! It was perfectly crispy and crunchy without being overly hard, and it helped balance out the saltiness of the pork. The crab cake sando ($14.95) was pretty solid too. The coleslaw, sauce, and crab cake paired really well together, and I liked that they didn't go overboard with the sauce. I do wish the crab cake itself had been a little crispier though. Overall, Món Superette is a great Vietnamese grab-and-go spot! Most of the menu is ready to grab, while the bánh mì is made to order. There are only 1-2 seats inside, so I'd say it's better for a quick lunch or something to grab before heading back to work or class.

I happened to see this Vietnamese-style grab-and-go shop and was immediately taken in by what looked to be a konbini-like approach. Coincidentally it's just a half-block from Ebiko, a similar takeout operation but with Japanese delicacies. This was ideal for me because I wasn't looking for a sit-down meal. There were several green salads and summer rolls with various protein options in the refrigerated section, but what drew my eye was the $13 Crab Cake Sando already packaged in a box and looking like something I would've grabbed at a Family Mart in Tokyo. Walking up to the counter, I became aware of the rest of their menu. They offer hot food made to order in five minutes: imperial rolls, banh mis, chicken wings, garlic noodles, and even desserts, coconut pandan waffles and fried banana. The sando was pretty tasty. Cut in thirds, the crab cake was nicely breaded to a satisfying crisp. The milk bread could've been softer, but the garlic aioli and light slaw provided the right contrast (Photo 10). I'll return for the hot food.

The black sesame coconut cookie is super buttery and very strong tasting. I recommend a coffee, a dark coffee to go with it. The chicken was melt in your mouth tender. Hands down the best rotisserie chicken I've ever had my life. I used to go to Joinery in Sausalito for rotisserie chicken but not anymore. So good I think I'm willing to move to Temescal just to be close. I got the combo half chicken. It comes with one salad, one side and one sauce for the chicken. The chicken doesn't need any sauce because it's perfectly tasty as it is. However the pesto sauce is delightful. I loved the pesto sauce and highly recommend it. The Club Med salad had everything in it. I am biased because I eat Mediterranean. The Med salad had green olives and gigante beans in it. The beans were still warm. There were so many flavors in this salad. The sheep feta is so fresh in it. High quality. I also loved the roasted cauliflower which is a pain to make at home. It was melt in your mouth tender and goes really well with the lemon tahini sauce and olive oil. All this for $40 and $3 for the cookie. Tip is 18% minimum for the preset lowest option. The lady at the counter was so friendly and kind. The music was lively. All in all, just a super cool place to come eat for the best healthy and tasty food available in North Oakland. I'm coming back soon again!

I thought the cookie was super fun and different, it's kind of a mixture between a macaroon & a cookie. It has a nice balance of sweet and salty, as well. This is currently my favorite meal at the moment, and it never disappoints! This little counter service spot always has the best vibes, and I will keep coming back! :)

I'm absolutely blown away. I was surprised about how good everything was. Might have been the best…read morefood I've had this year. My family ordered 1 appetizer, 4 entrees, and 2 drinks, all shared, and all 4 of us agreed that EVERY single item was phenomenal. That has absolutely NEVER happened before. At most restaurants, there's always at least one thing that someone doesn't like, and often multiple things that multiple people don't like. Not the case here. The appetizer was the spicy basil wings. Very good to start. But little did I know what was coming my way. The drinks were Thai tea and lychee limeade. The Thai tea was normal. As in good, I liked it. The lychee limeade was amazing, had to order another one. I would like to try the mango next time (there will definitely be a next time). Very sour, which I love. I hate lemonade that's not sour enough. Oh and that too, I usually hate limeade, don't really care for lemonade, and don't drink soda. I usually only drink water, juice, or tea (no coffee, alcohol rarely). So that's saying something. The Laos fried spring roll entree was really good. I always liked fried rolls but something about this tasted better. They were Laotian rolls, so maybe that was part of the difference from the ones you get from Pho restaurants. The duck over rice was amazing. I'm not usually one to pick duck, I don't mind it but I usually don't order it, but this was my mom's choice and it was really good. I like the sauce too. The Panang duck curry was so good. My mom doesn't even like curry and she liked it. And the Chiang Mai soup dish, I've never had anything like it. It was still hot after, I don't know, 20 minutes maybe? At the bottom especially. We all ate this together at the end, while the other dishes were in the order I listed them for myself (mostly, kinda switched around a bit eating family style), and generally the same for everyone else. I tasted a tiny bit of the soup in the beginning and thought it was nothing special, like when my spoon was clean it was the first thing I scooped. Only the soup though, none of the stuff inside. Honestly I didn't read what was in it, some crispy noodle or something. I was not sure if I would like it but my sister said she had it in Thailand and liked it so if I didn't like it she could eat it. That ended up not being a problem. Okay so anyway, we started on the soup at the end. To start, it was pretty good. Somehow, every bite we took tasted better and better, for at least like 5-10 bites maybe. At that point, I was thinking it's the best thing I've ever tasted. (But of course that's probably not actually true, and I'm just falling for the recency bias, kind of like how my favorite song changes all the time.) Never had anything like it. I've been missing out. But wow, I have to come back. And I highly recommend this place. Life changing experience honestly. Like if you asked me right now if I wanted to get Japanese or Korean (my other favorites) food or this, I would go here. I honestly wanted more of every single dish, especially the fried spring rolls, duck over rice, duck curry, and soup. Wait a second... that's all the entrees we ordered! Also the limeade. I need to get that again. But I also want to try other stuff next time so I'm torn. I literally need all 4 of these dishes again so I don't know what to do. I hope these dishes aren't seasonal or otherwise temporary. I noticed the menu had a month and year listed (I think it said April 2026 and it's May 3 2026 today) so I believe they update it frequently. If I lived closer I would come 20 times in a row and try every single thing, but unfortunately I live in San Ramon so it's not like I'm trying to go to Oakland every day. Soon though. My sister lives there, if I were her I would go here every day until I was sick of it, if that could ever be possible. I don't know if I could ever enjoy other food this much again. I was also completely sober so it wasn't like I had munchies or anything (felt I should specify being a young adult who grew up in California). Hmm, that gives me an idea for the future though. Even the pricing is fair (no dishes over $30), and the place is nice. Great service too. The only drawbacks are small tables for parties over 4 people, and it's REALLY loud in the restaurant, but well worth it. If you are sensitive to noise I'd recommend earplugs, earmuffs, earbuds, headphones, or something. The place is also relatively small. I'd recommend making a reservation if you plan to go on a Friday or Saturday night. It got busy, very busy. Well our reservation was at 6 and it wasn't crowded yet, a couple tables open, but by the time our food came out the place was absolutely packed and I think people without reservations had to wait to sit. I'm not sure though, I was too focused on the amazing food to care. Anyway, once again, highly recommend and I will be back.

We got the following : Lao Appetizers Plate - Everything had great texture with the sausage standing out the most to me. Very soft and not too salty.

Recommend adding this to any meal balance out the other fried items. Kao Piak - I find that most places over cook their chickens, but the meats here were cooked perfectly. Broth was a bit salty for me, and I usually like the broth thicker, but still good overall. Mango Sticky Rice - I liked the crispy fried rice bits that added a nice crunch. Mango wasn't quite in season right now, but it was still sweet and soft enough. Overall service was great, and there is a lot of parking in the area. Def recommend checking it out.

I haven't tried their cocktails, but they had an interesting selection. There's plenty of seats and a great community vibe here.

There's enough seating that the restaurant feels full but not overcrowded or loud. The workers also are very attentive and will check up on you.

The menu does change up seasonally. I've had countless mouth watering chile rellenos with their ever changing sauce and filling. And my to go to nowadays to ensure I get plenty of protein is ordering one of their bowls, usually with pescado frito (fried fish) with black beans. My husband enjoys their barbacoa shredded meat. The bowls are filling, nutritious and flavor bombs. I also love indulging in their agua frescas. Our personal favorites are the strawberry horchata (a MUST if it's available) and their coconut ice coffee. Refreshing beverages to help soothe your tongue because the sliced fresh chiles on fried fish bowl are indeed lethal. Overall consistently delicious. It does get packed but if you come early around 4-5pm you will beat the crowd.

I felt a little guilty taking up a table in this busy restaurant, but they were very accommodating. Quickly, I asked for a menu along with recommendations. Even though those recommendations sounded amazing, I already had my mind made up from reading the menu the day I discovered the place. I got the Branzino, and yum, it was!!!! As good as it was, the tables next to me and in front of me had the specialty plate. Heck, I almost ordered one to bring home, but I calmed that urge by taking full bites of my fish and creamy mashed potatoes. I love me some Branzino, and they did a good job. I couldn't leave without getting some dessert, so I chose the Azerbaijani Baklava and the Pistachio Baklava with goat's milk vanilla creamy ice cream--this was definitely the way to finish off a lovely dinner. Did I say the service was great? Yes, the service was on point! Good staff, super friendly! The ambiance was moderately perfect for a Piedmont Ave spot. Bottom line--this spot is a Mediterranean restaurant offering a fusion of Turkish, Iranian, and Armenian cuisines. I heard the gyros are really good--next, I'll try those. Go visit and eat there; you will like it! I'm going back soon.

It's been almost a decade since I've been to Crepevine, when my friends got hungry and we decided…read moreto go to the Rockridge location, I had forgotten how much I liked this place. This place has a big menu of crepes, breakfast plates, salads, and more, with generous portions and fresh ingredients. I opted for the El Paso, homemade corned beef hash with bell peppers and onions over potatoes, topped with melted cheddar and eggs any style, served with toast, and it was a standout. Flavorful, well-portioned, and exactly what I wanted for a hearty brunch. One friend got the Tuscany, a savory crepe with chicken, mushrooms, tomatoes, roasted almonds, provolone, feta, and pesto. Good but not as much as my El Paso. My other friend got the Rockridge, a sweet crepe with strawberries, bananas, and Nutella, which never disappoints. Service here is consistently good. Staff is friendly, attentive, and keeps things moving even when it gets busy. The outdoor patio is a nice bonus on sunny days. It can get crowded on weekends, so go early if you can. Parking in Rockridge takes a little effort, but the location is convenient. Reliable quality, solid menu, and friendly service make this a dependable go-to in the neighborhood.
