    This is a small restaurant in downtown Oakland. We came on a Friday and it was pretty busy with customers seated inside and others waiting for takeout orders. We were taking our food to go. It took around fifteen minutes to get our food. They called our names, but then they left the counter. So, we had to read all of the names on all of the to-go orders to find ours. But it was no big deal. We found our food, and we left. The biscuits were very good, although they were smaller than expected. The chicken was delicious and the bacon and eggs were good. I was disappointed in the grits because they were not seasoned, but the consistency was pretty good.

    This spot is a secret gem. Perfect for a lowkey breakfast or brunch. The biscuits are incredible - light, fluffy, flavorful with a crunchy outside. Make sure to ask if there are any off menu specials. We were lucky that our waiter told us about the chicken friend steak biscuit Staff is super friendly too

    We stopped by to pick up up our order on a Saturday morning. We ordered 2 biscuit sandwiches and one order of the potato's. Our order came out to $24 The biscuits were really good, tasted very fresh. These sandwiches are good and I wish this business much success!

    Was looking for a good breakfast biscuit sandwich for quite some time and decide to give Town Biscuits. The location of the restaurant is on a narrow street between Telegraph and Broadway so parking is pretty limited. There is also limited seating in the restaurant itself so we decided to place to go orders. We kept it simple, ordering both a sausage and bacon with egg and cheese along with a side of crispy potatoes. The kitchen was a bit backed up so it took about 25 minutes but wow was it worth it ! Price points were super reasonable, about half the price of a majority of other places ! Talk about well seasoned with proper texture and flakiness, both the sandwiches and potatoes were oh so good and exceeded my expectations. Will be back for sure.... gimme some more !!!

    Town Biscuits is in a shared restaurant space but it feels like its own little world. The space is beautiful and inviting with modern accents that contrast perfectly with the mismatched floral plates and mason jars filled with flowers. It gives off a charming, country-esque vibe, fitting for the biscuits they serve. The biscuits were buttery and flaky without falling apart. They actually had substance. The jam had subtle hints of lemon and wasn't overly sweet, it was a perfect balance. The fried chicken was juicy and nicely breaded...not too thick or heavy. And let's talk about the potatoes. They looked burnt/overcooked at first glance, but they were anything but. Crunchy on the outside, perfectly cooked inside, and seasoned just right with Cajun spices. Service was attentive and friendly, and the Chef even stopped by to say hello.

    Biscuits & gravy, home fries and goat cheese & jam biscuit.

    Awesome biscuits! I ordered the biscuits & gravy and my friend ordered the goat cheese & jam biscuit with a side of home fries. This was some of the best biscuits and gravy that I've ever had. Very flavorful and no greasy aftertaste that gravy can sometimes have. Side note, they do not serve espresso drinks here. Only drip coffee. It's a cute little location with minimal seating. I would recommend to get here early, as it was already filling up quickly at 10am on a Friday. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The only downside of this location is that parking is very hard to find and the street is very narrow with box trucks blocking part of the street.

    I love biscuit sandwiches and I'm so glad there's finally one in the town. I finally got the chance to stop by... location can definitely be hard to find parking and the street is small so when I pulled up there was a car double parked and some other car half way pulled over and blocked the other side so I couldn't even go around them even after I honked no one wanted to move to make space for me . Definitely wanted a dine experience. Ended up going to Korean plaza and ordering online due to lack of parking. Estimated pickup was 20 minutes. Came back 25 minutes later and was told it would be an additional 10-15 minutes. They were nice enough to bring it to our car though! I had tried this place through DoorDash originally and thought it was cool. Grits were okay in my opinion. This time I ordered 2 sausage biscuit sandwiches, 2 bacon biscuit sandwiches, and a side of biscuit and gravy. And it was honestly fire. The biscuits were soft and fluffy and the sausage was salty which I liked. I've never had sausage gravy like this before and it was super flavorful. Would definitely be coming back and hoping to dine in next time.

    Been coming here for a while now and it's absolutely my favorite breakfast spot in Oakland! The staff is so kind - every time I come in they are personable, helpful and quick and it makes the experience even better. The biscuits alone are buttery and the perfect texture. The prices are also so affordable! It's a very easy happy chill vibe and would highly recommend! Will be back!

    Bacon egg and cheese biscuit sandwich
    Lea S.

    Wooooow this spot is blowing up for a reason! The biscuits are just heavenly, savory, fluffy and buttery just as a biscuit should be. We ordered pick up on a Saturday morning and it was pretty busy already 30 minutes after they opened. The casual spot has counter service where you can order to eat in or pick up. We got a fried chicken biscuit, bacon egg and cheese biscuit sandwich, and a side of biscuits with apple butter, strawberry jam and gravy. The sandwiches weren't huge, could probably eat them in 4-6 bites if you take big bites but my goodness were they tasty! The fried chicken was perfectly seasoned and crispy, and the bacon egg and cheese biscuit was delicious with some great herbs seasoning in the eggs. The side of gravy was deliciously savory, the apple butter with the biscuit tasted like apple pie, and the strawberry jam was sweet and a little tart. I loved the balance of the jam though my husband found it a little sour for his taste. I also appreciate they have honey, hot sauce and ketchup packets available to go with the food, if you want a little extra flavor! We WILL be back.

    Town Biscuit menu...I ordered bacon egg and cheese biscuit with a side of grits
    Brown S.

    OOOPS you might miss it if you drive too fast down the street! Luckily I was driving slow and there were people outside waiting for their orders to be ready. There's no sign on the building so keep your eyes peeled! The establishment is a small space but the environment is warm and welcoming without realizing how small it actually is. Upon entering you can be seated or place your order and wait outside for it to be ready. The hostess was friendly and because she was I decided to stay and have a seat at the window! The space was already set with a dainty little saucer to hold the flatware. It was a cute added touch! The waiter was prompt and willing to offer suggestions. The food was delicious. The bacon egg and cheese had bacon in every bite! The biscuit did it's thing by holding everything together without falling apart! It was moist and flaky and yes I could of had another one! The consistency of the grits were pretty much perfect! No problem there. My two "complaints" are the cheese looked and had the texture of that cheese that's wrapped in the plastic film that will break apart if you don't unwrap it correctly. Also, if the water for the grits had of been salted just a little bit more the flavor of the grits would of been 10/10. Overall, this place is a must for you to try. I will definitely go back when I'm in the area. There's more I would like to sample and it's affordable!!!!

    Slow down, or you will definitely pass it. Good spot to get breakfast sandwiches or just sit and chill and enjoy breakfast. Service is friendly, however service seem a little slow at times, with many orders coming in at once. Orders don't come out, as they are put in. I received my order faster than someone who sat down before me. Good for me, slow for them. Biscuits are definitely a hit. Ham is salty, but MUST be eaten with the jelly to offset the salty taste. Grits w/ cheese are good, but black pepper is abundant. Chef is heavy handed. Enjoyable comfort food spot for breakfast.

    Sausage biscuit with cheese. There is also strawberry jelly in there. Not something I've had before, added to the flavor.

    Was way more busy than I would have expected on a Sunday morning before 10. I imagine that 25th gets hella crowded after church.... Ordered two things. Sausage egg and cheese biscuit and a sausage with cheese biscuit to go. Order was brought out to me within like five minutes. One had jelly on it. Added to flavor. Both were equally delicious. Nice use of that building. Cool spot, nice staff, but hard to park at. I will try again on a Saturday morning and see what that's like.

    Solid biscuit breakfast sandwich! Great friendly staff and speedy service. The space is really cute. The eggs could've been slightly more salted but I'd still say this is a solid sandwich for a great price.

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.

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.
