This is one of our favorite places for brunch. We go here usually every Saturday and have not been disappointed. The specials are great (I recommend the breakfast sandwich). The trio of sauces that come with most of the breakfast plates are tasty. Best of all are the silver dollar pancakes. They are nice and thin, dont sop up syrup like a sponge and taste just like the ones my grandmother made. We usually get one or two plates to share -- our "table pancakes." The manager is usually always there and he is super friendly & accomodating. When we have more that 6 in our group he will put together a table for us.

Its like walking into an old friend or relatives home. Very friendly, welcoming, and warm staff. Smiles fill up the cafe. Delicious coffee, latte, espressos etc. Beer and wine is also available with a pending license to serve cocktails/spirits in the near future. Breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner menus. Fresh fresh fresh! Words cannot describe the quality and flavor that bursts with each bite. Bring family, friends, and anyone visiting from out of town. It is conveniently located off of the I80. Only hiccup is that parking can sometimes be a hassle.

My wife and I went on a Friday evening. We had the "Special" which was a three course meal consisting of Salad, Entree(Buttermilk Battered Fried Chicken) and Dessert(Creme Brulee). The Food Was AMAZING!! The Service Was EXCEPTIONAL(Thank you Tinzen) and the price($15 per person) made it more than worth it!!!! We will DEFINITELY be returning on other nights for the specials!!!

Nice local spot for breakfast. I tried their corned beef hash and it was yummy, but I would have preferred a little more meat and less potatoes. The plus side was that I ordered my eggs over-medium and this is one of the rare places that cooked them properly! Not too runny and not a solid yolk. I saw others order the Benedict and Im planning to come back to try it.

Breakfast is great here!! Plenty of offerings, to this day I still havent had anything there I didnt like. Friendly service, usually a short wait time. Try the chicken and waffles!! Daaaamn!!! They also offer three course dinners. Great all around cafe with vegan options too. Unlimited coffee refills (self-serve) good beers on tap. Good mimosas.

Great corned beef, margarita pizza. Weve been coming here for many years, and theyre still one of our favorite weekend brunch spots. Parking is relatively easy, the seats are a bit small you order and go find a table. They have crayons and paper for the kids.

Quality has slipped! Potatoes were old tasting and half were undercooked. Bacon tasted like it had been cooked 6 hours earlier and then left to sit on a hot plate. I used to come here all time - years ago - but not sure if Ill come back.

I just love this place. The food is always great! Im a little disappointed that the menu of the day, no longer includes a glass of wine. But the cost of their wine is reasonable. Overall, a good deal for great food.

Portion size is underwhelming compared to the prices, but the interior and food (salmon scramble) was well worthy four stars. Will return in the future and hopefully add a fifth. They serve 24 hour breakfast btw!

Counter ordering place with a kick back atmosphere. The menu isnt huge, but the food is good, and priced fairly for the above average quality. Good place to kick back, and enjoy brunch.

A remarkable value. The dining room is as plain as can be but the appeal is on the plate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The nightly prix fixe may be the best bargain in the biz.

Wow! One of the best breakfast spots Ive been to. Id rather drive here than wait for an hour in San Francisco for breakfast. Much better quality and super fast service.

This restaurant/cafe has been our favorite breakfast destination the East Bay. The name changed but the quality remains. Dont forget their pancakes. Awesome!

Used to be good, it seems as they changed ownership and the food is not as good quality as I remember it. To bad cause I dont foresee me coming back :/

Good is okay. Better for brunch than dinner. Kids meal can be better and include more fruits. A little burger and fries is not worth $7.

Great food, great coffee. People always come here acting like it is supposed to be Daniel Bouluds in NYC. Its just a coffee shop.
