Good pricing and coffee. I'd go there if I need a cup quickly and on Northside. Definitely will be there again :)

The staff is nice, but my drink had a dead fly in it. I had ordered a matcha to go and was halfway done drinking when I felt it and spat it out D:

Grabbed a special croissant without the bacon before an exam. I couldn’t even finish it all before because it was so big. The flavors, ingredients, and portions were fantastic.
The croissant was flaky and soft. Everything inside it was delicious. I’m not a fan of arugula so I always love when I’m able to eat and enjoy it in ways I’ve never tried :)

Food is quite tasty; just quantity was a little low for me.

Got a chicken empanada and a pecan swirl. As Prue Leith from GBBO would say, “worth all the calories.” The empanada was properly seasoned, doesn’t feel heavy. Perfect for breakfast. The star of the show is the pecan swirl, however. The best flaky, buttery pastry I had so far. Perfect level of sweetness. I should’ve taken Abe’s suggestion to have some coffee or tea. Definitely trying, the next time. :) Going to Abe’s in the morning is definitely going to set your mood for the day.
the best service and nicest people around, great vegetarian and vegan options

Don't let the no frills atmosphere fool you; Abe's is amazing. The coffee and service was fantastic. Also, do yourself a favor and get more than one empanada and enjoy the flavor and salsa. Prices were reasonable by Berkeley standards.

Closes far ahead of hours. Hopefully will go bankrupt eventually

Wow! The salsa music, the tropical smoothies, the empanadas, it all brought me back home to Latin America. Delish and feels like home!

A Bagel Letdown: Abe's Cafe 3 Star Disappointment
This place had the potential for a breakfast win, but sadly, it fell flat in most areas. Let's get this out of the way first: the atmosphere is, well, lacking. It feels more like a forgotten corner than a vibrant breakfast spot. Service wasn't much better - think disinterested and impersonal.
Now, onto the main event: the food. With high hopes, I dove into their bagel with eggs. Unfortunately, the bagel itself was a major disappointment. Small and underwhelming, it lacked the satisfying heft you crave in a good breakfast bagel. To make matters worse, it wasn't even toasted properly, leaving me with a mouthful of doughy disappointment.
The price point for this underwhelming experience? Shockingly high. For what I got, I could have had a far superior breakfast elsewhere.
Unless you're desperate and have low expectations, I'd recommend steering clear. There are much better bagel and egg options out there that won't leave you feeling ripped off.
Excellent food, clean, bright space and very friendly owners/staff. Highly recommend!
