Great brunch spot! ☕️
I tried the shakshuka and it was delicious. The eggs were perfectly cooked and the tomato sauce was rich and flavorful. Paired with the toasted bread, it was a really satisfying dish.
The café has a cozy atmosphere and the staff were friendly. Prices are reasonable for Berkeley, around $10–$20.
Definitely a nice place to relax with coffee or brunch. I’d love to come back and try more items on the menu!

Small shop, big heart! Baker and Commons went above and beyond. Kara even delivered the order herself. The presentation was beautiful, the food was fresh/delicious, and she was so kind + accomodating throughout the whole process. Highly recommend supporting this gem! 💛

Very crowded for late lunch with a line out the door. We had called our order in so at least no need to wait in the line with my friend using a walker. The quiche is amazing and came with a salad. The latte served in a bowl was excellent too. Got a table outside to enjoy the sun. Inside was quite noisy.
