“Absolutely outstanding! The vegan beast breakfast was one of the best meals I’ve had in my life. I can’t stop thinking about it and wish I could have it again right now. The service was incredible and fast, my only issue is just it’s really really loud and echoes and not a place you could necessarily go to have a meeting or a conversation with someone.“

“This Turkish restaurant is outstanding in all aspects! Our dinner consisted of the Meze Combo, which is an excellent selection of their fabulous appetizers, the Lamb Shish Kebab, with lamb that was cooked to perfection, and the Adana Kebab, which was a fine mixture of lamb and beef in a slightly spicy combination. The waiter was very polite and extremely friendly and welcoming, and very attentive to our needs. We thoroughly appreciated his recommendation of the baklava to compliment the excellent meal we had. It had just the right amount of sweetness and a wonderful blend of walnuts and spices. Due to the meal being so exceptional, we came back the next morning for an outstanding breakfast!!! We had the Menemen (Shaksouka) and the American Breakfast. And finished it off with a bowl of their Sutlac - the creamy rice pudding! Delicious indeed! Great waitstaff at both meals! We highly recommend Zevi Cafe!!!“

“The 16th street Diner is fire! Worth every bit of 5 stars, and I'll tell you why!
I was out slinging stuff around with Wally the Weasel ..we didn't break anything and nobody had to go to the hospital, but it was time to make our getaway, and we found ourselves right in front of the 16th Street Diner! Well, we went in, and we couldn't decide between a burgers or a sandwiches so I asked the person to surprise us..just make mine bigger!
Man-O-Man were we surprised, the BurgerSandos were 5 ☆☆☆☆☆!“

“Jen and Cecy and the team at Cafe Soleil catered our wedding at the Brazilian Room, and it was a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely delicious, they took care of *everything* in the venue, and they were truly a joy to work with. Cecy was very responsive, professional, and patient with our many questions and requests. During the reception, the staff was wonderful with the passed appetizers and the bar, and the servers took care of us (bride and groom) with special attention. At the end of the evening, once our guests were done with the bar, the bartender even came out on the dance floor to teach us a line dance. :-) Jen is a treasure: her professionalism is suffused with genuine warmth, and we felt well taken care of from the very beginning of the process. And did I mention the food was amazing?“

“My Mother and I enjoy eating here periodically. She loves their thick, Belgian waffles while I usually opt for the sausage only or sausage and mushroom omelet with tater tots. I cannot eat the entire omelet so I take half of it home for breakfast the next day. Service is quick and friendly and prices are reasonable. A nice, low-key gem in Alameda.“

“Very small coffee and breakfast spot. Family run. I have. Soft spot for these kinds of places. Food felt like home cooked and made with care. Very tasty. Try the iced Vietnamese coffee. Parking is hit or miss. One or two tables in the dining room, so go with takeout or wait your turn.“

“This place was such a surprise. It is very unassuming from the street, and the atmosphere is super casual diner. But the food was excellent and a good value. If you’re hungry you will be pleased with the generous portions—I’m a hungry big guy and I took some of the house combo to go because I couldn’t finish it. The quality is really solid.“

“Just a hot chocolate drinker here, who found this place charming and peaceful. We pay before leaving and a lot of people come in couples, that say a lot. It's actually busier than we think. This review was written under st Martin's eyes, so you can count on my honesty.“

“Love them. I take my morning walk on my days off usually Sunday mornings. Super cozy, hole in the wall, and I order my usual waffle fanatic, with eggs and bacon. I think family owned. Can get busy at times but these folks bust their booties to get everyone in and fed and on their merry way so don't forget to tip them fat ! Have a blessed one . Hope you love this spot as much as I do. Ciao!“

Our employees always rave about the food, they are a huge hit every time. The personal touches really shine through, and they always work with us to stay within our budget.
