We came here for breakfast and had a fantastic meal. We ordered the buttermilk pancakes, New York everything bagel platter, potato pancakes, banana rum soufflé pancakes, and 2 sunny side up eggs with home fries and chorizo. We really enjoyed the banana rum soufflé pancakes, and the buttermilk pancakes are the best pancakes we’ve ever had, as they’re so thick, light, and fluffy. We will definitely come back again when we’re back in Berkeley!

Oceanview Diner is the perfect place to order from if you need to feed a group of hungry people! Thank you Will and everyone at the cafe who provided delicious deli sandwiches for our hard-working canvassers for our campaign for Jennifer Esteen for Supervisor 2024. After a long day of working for social justice in Alameda County we really appreciated the turkey, veggie and cheese sandwiches.

Oceanview Diner is a fantastic place to get breakfast! We were able to use the waitlist kiosk and get seated within 10 minutes. Service is super friendly, and there's plenty of sweet and savory options on the menu. The standout winner is the souffle pancakes though; they take a while to make, but they are so good!

Good food and location. Ordered the tuna melt and the lemon chicken w zucchini/rice soup. Both were tasty.

Very poor service. Overpriced food.

Oceanview has become a favorite in the way Bette's wasn't. I can't explain why since the people who own it now are mostly the same people who worked their before, but maybe because I only go on weekdays when it's chill, it feels different. I have a few dishes that I fall back on, including the huevos rancheros and the bagel with trout salad. Good coffee. Great pancakes.

I love this place. The location is lovely, and the decor is super old school art deco diner. The food is fantastic, however they really use a lot of grease or oil when cooking the eggs and you can see a thick layer of oil on the plate when you are served. That is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. very friendly fast service too!
One of the best places for wonderful meals and snacks. I live within walking distance of the Oceanview Diner. I’m retired, on a fixed income, so it’s a treat, every couple of months, for me and cousins and friends to come to eat or to order take out. I’ve never had anything here that wasn’t delicious and worth every penny. My cousin brought me here for my 75th birthday, March 7, and the curried chicken salad and winter Cobb salad were outstanding!

I had waffles with strawberries and whipped cream and a side of smokey black beans. My mom had eggs hash browns bacon and sourdough toast. I've had the pizza by the slice at the To Go counter.

Best ricotta pancakes ever! They don’t serve them all the time, but you better be sure to figure out when they do. But, it’s OK if you go on a day that they don’t, because pretty much everything on the menu is delicious. Great atmosphere too.
