Upon entering Caffe 817, I thought I had entered a café in Europe. See reasons below: 1) Outside patio tables allow you to contemplate your existence and watch passer byers - all while enjoying the budding summer weather. 2) Upon ordering our paninis, the waitress asked us whether we would like a glass of wine with our lunch. How very European and how very appropriate. I love her and Im not afraid to say it! Unfortunately, the food is incredibly mediocre. What you should NOT order: Paninis + Side salad ($8.25) Salads (Around the $8 mark) The paninis are expensive considering how thin they are (see enclosed picture). The salad was incredibly simplistic for the price. What I WOULD order here: Wine, coffee, tea, iced tea, etc. (Its the best way to maximize the positive (European atmosphere) without too much influence from the negative (food).)

3/27/16 We met a friend here after the recent Oakland Running Festival, which started and ended in Snow Park. My husband had driven me to Oakland that morning for the run, so he was excited to get breakfast too. I ordered the olive and egg and toast breakfast. Egg was cooked perfectly. Toast was crunchy and delicious. Loved my olives, and also the chunky fruit jam served with the toast. The house hot coffee was great, service was friendly, and they even had a house hot sauce that I very much enjoyed. Everything about this café was warm and inviting - its a lucky neighborhood that gets a place like this nearby!

Food and atmosphere is great, but had to wait 40 minutes for a breakfast (a croque madam, basically small toast and cheese with 1 egg). No utensils available or given when the order came either. Had to go back in line to ask for a fork. Felt absolutely famished by the time I was able to eat, dont think I will ever be coming back here.

Had brunch here with a friend and a dog. We sat outside and I had the olivado and toasted levain with poached eggs (get an extra egg). It came with their homemade jam and some butter. The food was great; bread was fantastic, being soft yet chewy and crunchy. Its a very quick and casual place to grab a bite to eat.

The weekday and weekend menus are different! I love small businesses. Food is good although I thought the poached egg was a little overcooked. Their latte is served in a huge bowl. Most people seem have gotten the cappuccino which is served in a regular cup.

I didnt really eat. Had a coffee and a toast with jam. Wasnt crazy about the Kiwi (?) jam. But I had a few hours to kill before 2pm traffic court. (total Emeryville scam!) The place is clean. Soft music. Pleasant.

Cafe 817 is a fantastic place for a nice lunch during a busy work day. With their fresh ingredients and nicely prepared sandwiches its a great place for a business lunch or a meeting with a friend.

Cute little place to get some breakfast or lunch. Good selection on their coffee menu. Breakfast and lunch items are not your typical faire, i.e. polentails with poached egg. . . Delis

Food quality is good, but wait times for food on Sunday brunch is a little ridiculous. We waited 45 mins for two simple dishes. Hopefully less crowded during other times

A neat hole-in-the-wall cafe with friendly, helpful staff. the prosciutto, garlic toast , and poached egg sandwich at breakfast is to die for.

Just came for coffee, though the food looked very good. The coffee was decently good. Rating is based on that. Staff was excellent.

Delicious coffee. Made in a slow drip with intense flavor. Be warned theres no sign outside, so it may be hard to spot.
