When I opened the box at home, I couldn't believe my eyes: there were two pancakes, and one of them was burned to a crisp, nearly as black as the takeout bag it came in. We immediately drove back to the restaurant. I went in and spoke to a different cashier, explaining that I had waited 45 minutes for a completely unacceptable meal and requested a refund. I opened the box to show him the burnt pancake, which was placed at the bottom, as if they thought I wouldn’t notice.
The cashier acknowledged my frustration and I asked him if syrup and butter were included with the pancakes; he confirmed they were, but I hadn’t received any with my order. He tried to process a refund to my account, but c...
I was quite disappointed with this restaurant. I had high hopes of finding a laid-back breakfast spot in Berkeley, especially given the positive reviews and enticing menu. Unfortunately, we waited 45 minutes for our food, which turned out to be just an average omelette, biscuits and gravy, and pancakes. The only reason I'm giving it two stars is that the pancakes were passable. It was evident that the restaurant was understaffed; we noticed several flies buzzing around, and we even witnessed staff arguing among themselves. The bathroom was also in bad shape. I would suggest skipping this place—it's definitely not worth your time or money.
I can't wait to go back! We discovered this place through Urbanspoon and we're so glad we did. The staff was super attentive yet relaxed, making us feel well taken care of without ever feeling hurried. The menu offers straightforward breakfast and lunch diner options, along with some delightful cocktails. The Mexican Eggs scramble was incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the French toast was cooked to perfection. Next time, I intend to try the pancakes and the heavenly home fries, which were very tempting from the table across the room. This is definitely an A+ spot for breakfast and brunch, especially since breakfast is served all day!
Expect a long line out the door, and remember that they close promptly at 1 PM, so it's best to arrive early. Bring a newspaper and some patience, as it can get crowded. You'll likely be sharing a table with others, so don't hesitate to join in.
I appreciate the self-serve coffee station, but it's important to keep the aisles clear since the staff are incredibly fast. I often worry about tripping someone because I'm not as quick to move aside.
This isn't a place for leisurely meals; you'll want to dive into your hot food right away because it's really good!

Nah, the house fries were some of the best I've ever had. You can really tell they know what they're doing here. It's a charming breakfast spot with some great art on the walls. The staff was fantastic—when I asked for a parfait or some fruit, the cook went out of their way to make a special dish for me! I'm very grateful for that and definitely appreciate the vibes here.
I absolutely adore this place. It's wonderfully cozy and inviting, always bustling with people, and filled with a warm, pleasant aroma. I really appreciate being able to serve myself coffee. Since moving to Berkeley recently, this has quickly become my go-to spot for breakfast.
I absolutely love this place! I've been dining here for years. The food is fantastic, the service is excellent, and if you arrive during busy times, you can enjoy a cup of coffee while waiting for your table.
My dad has been visiting this place since he was young, and naturally, there have been numerous changes throughout the years. However, one thing that has consistently remained delicious is the WAFFLES!

I tried the weekday combo with the French toast, and it was wonderful! The portion was perfect—not too much, but enough to leave me satisfied. I feel both good and full. Highly recommend!
A true neighborhood breakfast spot with a complete comfort food menu. The staff always makes us feel welcome, and we leave with satisfied stomachs and extra food for later.
