43 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Berkeley

“We got the chicken provolone and the smoked turkey avocado sandwiches. The sandwiches were flavorful, but it really a place to take out. It is a really small place and the outside eating experience was shaded and not very good. Take out is the way to eat here.“

“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🤩“

“It was among the first place in the quarter to offer a decent vegan breakfast a few years ago and I would recommend the vegan plate there. The staff is kind and nice and the only downer is the pricing to me. Size are okay, but cost a bit too much for what you have.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 👌☺️“

“Very delicious food. Good vibes. Friendly staff. The only negative part is that the Kabob smell didn’t go with the coffee shop vibe. It’s more felt like restaurant.
We got the burrito breakfast and the Adana Alavion role. I like that non of them were salty. But the Adana kabob was a bit dray, I like it to be more juicy.“

“We ordered 50, pre-wrapped breakfast tacos for our daughter's birthday and Early Bird DELIVERED! They were precisely on time, considered our special instructions to give more of a few varieties than others, and were very communicative and lovely throughout the whole experience. Our guests (including several 3-5 yr. olds) LOVED them! 10/10 would recommend.“

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

“To be honest. The food was not that great, but it is good. I will say 8 out of 10. But ..... Why I gave five stars, because their staff especially the host/server, it was an asian man, he was veryyyyyyyy serving. He gave smiles, serve very well, really warm welcoming. That's the service needed in F&B industry !!!! Very good.

Plus, i went there on monday and turned out it's a free drink day. So i bought chicken basil and crispy veggies roll. Very good food, and the best part yet to come. I love spicy food, so I asked if they have chilli powder, the server told me they have chilli paste. When he brought it to me, he warn me its very spicy. And guess what? Exactly the spicy level I wanted and its very rare to get this green chilli paste like that here in the States. I love it !! Thank you !!!“

“We had a simple yet tasty breakfast here. The coffee was great, the place was hopping and the weather was perfect for outdoor eating. It's cafeteria style: you order at the counter and they bring it to your table. The whole staff was very cool, even as they were working hard to service the big crowd. It was just what we wanted at the time. A quick hot meal and a good cup of joe reasonably priced and served with a smile. Thanks Caffe Central! We'll be back.“

“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 🌹🌹🌹“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 “

“Updated 11/2024 Sadly - place is closed permanently .. checked their IG & Yelp .. both confirmed closure. (Old review) Crispy Chicken Fried Rice ❤️❤️❤️ wok hei 👍👍👍 & chicken soooo crispy … & the best Vietnamese egg roll … crispy & oil less ..“

“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.“

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

“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?“

“Best food and best service!“

“This was the most unassuming place I've ever been. I was taken aback by the size of it once inside but felt very welcome by the staff. As everyone has said, Q's Benedict is the bee's knees, and the Vietnamese coffee is a perfect pairing. If you ask the right question, the man will take you on a special journey where there's a random couch cushion, secret hallways and a garage. You will end up in the most lovely-smelling place that you won't want to leave but alas, you must get back to your meal.
My photo didn't do it justice- just look at everyone else's!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We loved absolutely everything about this place. The food and service were super fast and flawless.
Best grilled cheese we had . We also ordered eggs Benedict and apple sausage omelette. All tasty and delicious!
Highly recommend!“

“My bf and I ust grabbed breakfast to-go, but it was a quaint and cozy little diner! The staff were polite and friendly. Great clientele; 1 of the other customers joked us as a Karen when we kissed, "You can't do that here!" but she was just being funny and we chatted for a few minutes after.

Parking: There's a parking lot shared by 2 other businesses right next to the door, but there's only like 6 spots; street parking otherwise.“

“Seated within a minute after arrival. Had a reservation. Drinks came 10mins after. The Peach Mimosa was very boozy. The coffee was strong. Nice silverware. Lobster toast came out in 6mins. The interior design is really nice and elegant. All the visible workers were working diligently and collectively. Chicken and pancakes came in 13 minutes. It smells delightful inside. The hot honey chicken was great! Loved the ricotta pancakes; they didn't require syrup at all. I could taste the ricotta in the pancakes. 8 minutes after I ordered the strawberry Bellini arrived; it was super boozy! Everything was aesthetically pleasing and fairly good. Definitely worth the try and return. Enjoyed the food the most. The service was slightly delayed midway through the dine due to being there during the opening shift. Dine time 1.25 hours. BoozyBrunch sent me!“

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

“had eggs jaqueline. was superb.“

“Kids enjoyed the donuts, other food options are limited (no omlets or oatmeal --menu on Google maps is old, and website inaccurate). Drinks were quite hot so took a bit to cool off and be drinkable. The sizes of drinks was also not clear.“

“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!“

“It was good! The service was amazing, super fast and attentive staff. Very cozy place. The price and portions are good. But, the food looked better than it tasted. I got the Marti’s special omelet with potatoes. It was ok. The coffee was not strong and tasted instant made. I wish you could customize your own omelet, it would be great!“

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

“Dude, this place is awesome. Reviewers offering less than 4* are just grumpy and sour curmudgeons! The lady behind the counter always knows who I am - sees me walk in and immediately starts my coffee order. She’s an absolute saint. Food is delicious.“

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

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

“Great pancakes and bacon!!!“

“Love that they have combo deals that aren't outrageously expensive in this day and age. Food was great as it always is at every IHOP I've ever been to.

Parking: Lots of parking but it's kind of far from the entrance to the restaurant.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible.“
