“Nice hole in the wall local shop, really good turkey egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on a bagel as well.
They have multiple relatively quick breakfast options with drinks and tea/espresso options, Good customer service as well 💪“

“I just tried your original scone from Whole Foods here in San Jose, and it is so delicious and moisty! Please keep making them. Hope to visit your cafe in Berkeley one day.“

“Not many vegetarian options, but the one you have is the best ever🤩“

“Chicken and waffles ? ? on point as always. I think I’ll try dinner next time.“

“Such a great find! We walked here from our hotel in Union Square, & though there were a lot of people waiting to be seated, we only had to wait about 10 minutes- the cycle through folks quickly! We were in and out in an hour. My boyfriend (who is not vegan) & I (a am vegan) both got the same thing- oat milk vanilla lattes and the vegan burrito. They were both absolutely killer. And don’t sleep on the hot sauce! We paid $67 for our meal, which wasn’t great, but it’s SF, so normal prices. Would absolutely go here again. My bf agreed that it was a great spot, he also loved it.“

“What a great surprise. The food was delicious, and the service was great. We look forward to trying the rest of the menu. I highly recommend the Loco Moco.“

“We ordered tacos for a post-wedding brunch at my parents' house the day after our wedding and they were a hit! The delivery person was prompt and super nice. They set up all the tacos, salsas and left menus that described each taco type. The tacos were all individually wrapped and labeled. It was perfect to have a mix of tacos with meat, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free so there was something for everyone. We had some left over and they have been delicious just heated up in the toaster oven. I highly recommend them for any party or gathering!“

“Had read when researching SF Pat's was popular and didn't disappoint. Friendly staff and oh my tasty food and large portions 🤦my burrito 🌯 was huge.Did my best. 😀 recommend highly“

“Atmosphere, customer service, prices and the freaking food is amazing 😍. Highest rated casual dining from Hayward to Vallejo! For good reason! This is a must if in the area. We will be back!“

“I ordered the Drunken Noodle beef & Shrimp pad Thai
Drunken Noodle Beef is a solid 100/10
Just amazing. Best beef noddles I’ve had in a minute
Savory, delicious , amazing
, and looks great

Shrimp pad Thai is a solid 2/10
All u can taste is just spice not heat spice but just spice. And shrimp was like shredded chicken and like over done to the Max.
This place deserves 5 stars for the beef noodle alone.
I had a couple bites then had to share sorry.“

“Cafe Isabella's delicious food (they serve my favorite San Francisco burrito), and overall appealing aesthetic design reflect the fine tastes of its owner, Hilda. And, I happily note that Cafe Isabella strictly adheres to COVID-19 mitigation best practices.“

“Another great little diner/organic sandwich bar. Very busy and worth the wait. Cops queuing inside is always a good sign. If you're English and cannot drink coffee, this was THE BEST place to get a decent cup of tea. Restroom is step-free but tucked away in the corner of the cafe making it very difficult for wheelchair users but ok for ambulant disabilities.“

“I give this place the top spot as the best 💎in San Francisco for delicious food, drinks, friendly and sociable staff, great atmosphere, and music. There's a wide selection of dishes! The lentil soup is a bit spicy for my taste, so keep that in mind if you're ordering for kids!☝️“

“So pleased we stumbled across this amazing coffee shop / diner. Friendly staff and atmosphere.. Cosy restaurant serving a great range of food in a great location, but doesn’t feel touristy 👌☺️“

“Absolutely delicious. The staff was awesome. Consuelo couldn't have been more friendly! Great experience. Highly recommend 😋😋“

“Great food always! Old school comfort food (french toast, omelettes, waffles, pancakes plus a lot more ) be prepared to wait if you are going on the weekend.“

“I have been stopping by the restaurant at least once a week for breakfast since 2023. all the breakfast menu items are great. you will be pleased with what ever you select.“

“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?“

“The service is fast and effective, and the food is delicious - as you can see from the long lines of people wanting to eat there. We are traveling from Norway and Louisiana, but always visit Honey Honey when we are in town 🌹🌹🌹“

“Best food and best service!“

“It is a small restaurant, but great in its quality, attention, service and its prices are very affordable, I recommend it for its breakfasts such as chilaquiles, eggs with chorizo ​​and eggs Benedict's, its sound is generally attentive to all its customers, because it has a large number of regular customers.“

“I'm a dialysis patient nearby and happened to be passing after treatment. Stopped in and MAAAAN. What you get for the price! The taste, atmosphere and customer service were on POINT. Will be back as soon as this treatment ends... TOWN “

“1111 Solano is a new location for this restaurant. Previously near Craneway and before the pandemic in Point Richmond. Same chef, same staff, and same excellent food and service.“

“Delicious food! Great Bar and desserts! Super friendly staff and owners.“

“Wooly Pig has amazing tasty sandwiches that come accompanied by delicious salads and/ or other selected portions. You must check it out!…“

“had eggs jaqueline. was superb.“

“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.“

“Cute lil mom and pop shop Cafe which I believe is owned and operated by one family. Kenny Nguyen is the owner and I believe he operates with his wife, daughter and mother. They were all very sweet and the food was delicious and delivered fast with the utmost courtesy.

There are only 3 2-tops inside and 1 3-top table outside. There's also a bar that looks like it can handle a couple other patrons.

Walking distance from many hospitals“

“I had the salmon croquettes and they were absolutely amazing!!“

“Got the veggie omelette and western skillet with an extremely delicious orange juice! Ordered an egg with the skillet but didn’t get the egg :( the portions were very large and the shop was comfortable but a bit tight in seating. It was good :)“

“I wanted to take a moment to highly recommend Shalom Fast Food for anyone looking for the best breakfast and exceptional service in the area. Having experienced their offerings firsthand, I can confidently say that their food quality and customer service stand out above the rest. If you’re considering a place to enjoy a memorable breakfast, Shalom Fast Food is an excellent choice. Please feel free to reach out if you would like more information or a personal recommendation.“

“Great place! Comfortable and quiet. I ordered the turkey sausage and an egg over easy, and they were perfectly cooked. The sausage was as tasty as a beef or beef/pork sausage, so I went for the healthier option and was so happy I did so! Service was excellent. Not crowded and very quiet and relaxing on a weekday at 10 am. I’ll be back for sure!“

“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.“

“Came down from Oregon in April. Peter was a great start to our daily adventures. He gave us good advice on where to go and great conversations. The food was great.and the people were very kind. Definitely coming back next time we're in town.“

“Best bartenders & atmosphere you can ask for! HOME TO THE SF BILLS BACKERS!“

“One of my favorite restaurants in the park for brunch. The donuts are delicious and the service is always so friendly.“

“This is exactly what I was looking for my last breakfast on my US trip on a sleepy Sunday morning in SF. Food was good, vibes ok and excellent service. Loved the lottery machines and people playing with them made the place more real. Recommended!“

“Got breakfast here everyday I stayed in SF — if you get there right after 8:30 AM that’s when they start bringing out the fresh pastries. Get the egg tart and coconut bun. Coconut bun is out of this world and the egg tart is super flaky and buttery. Getting there early is a must because the bakery items are still warm!“

“We’ve worked with Ruru Kitchen on several large catering orders for our office, and they’ve been an absolute dream to work with. The team is responsive, organized, and always on time. They make the entire process incredibly easy - from helping us plan a thoughtful, delicious menu that accommodates all dietary needs, to setting everything up beautifully on the day. 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. I’m so grateful for their partnership and can’t wait to work with them again for our next event!“

“Staff was friendly and the service of the food was delicious 🤤“

“Not bad! Definitely room for improvement. Very few gluten-free options. They were out of both flavored matcha drinks. These points were both disappointing for my partner. The menu says they have pastries, but our server said they only have them on weekdays, not on weekends, which doesn’t make any sense. I would assume a brunch restaurant would be the busiest on weekends… But ultimately the food we had tasted good, and it’s a very cute place. I used to get breakfast at Lakeshore Cafe, so I’m glad for its replacement.“

“Great pancakes and bacon!!!“

“My daughter treated me to lunch. I had the Crispy Shrimp. It was delicious, and the right amount to enable me to finish my plate. There was no line. We were seated as soon as we entered. Usually, there is a long line because the place is popular. Our server, she was awesome.“

“Everything was perfectly cooked and delicious: NY steak(medium), pancakes, crispy hasbrowns, over easy eggs. I asked for onions and bell peppers on my corned beef hash and it was amazing.

Kid-friendliness: My 4yo enjoyed his pancakes, eggs and bacon.“

“good food 👍 good service.“

“Fair place to have breakfast 🥞 🍳 - the sitting at the table is comfortable and the portions are quite large.

If you want an heavy breakfast this place is for you. They have a large selection of food from pancakes, omelette, eggs, bacon and even steak 🥩“

“First off this has been at this location for years and it’s definitely time for some of the booth back cushions to be replaced. I went here for breakfast on 11/2/24 and our waitress Carla was absolutely awesome. I think the location was short staffed and I have to admit Carla was working her butt off providing great service to all the patrons she was assigned all over the whole restaurant. She stayed smiling and was still attentive to us and that’s really cool and she was in costume. The food was really good and came out pretty fast due to the place having lots of folks. Only thing you gotta watch out for is the pricing on the Build Your Own Omelette. Each thing you add is 3.00 on top of the 15.00 omelette price and at most other Iphop it’s only 1.29 for each ingredient added.“
