46 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🤩“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 😋😋“

“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.“

“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!☝️“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 !!!“

“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.“

“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 🌹🌹🌹“

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

“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.“

“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?“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Piedmont Cafe has been reliably great to me. It’s a no-frills diner, and that’s exactly what I want many days. Prices are good, food is good, and service is always friendly and fast. I recommend one of their omelettes, but I’ve had friends order other things (such as the crab cake benedict) and I’ve always been very impressed when I tried them.“

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

“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 “

“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.“

“Best food and best service!“

“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“

“had eggs jaqueline. was superb.“

“Came here early morning on a whim because some friends were leaving from visiting me. Was one of the only places open relatively early in SF, but absolutely surprised me. I believe I ordered the eggs benedict but what was really the star of the show was the thin potato hashbrowns. So good and so flavorful. The fresh orange juice was also delish. Don't remember her name but the woman (maybe the owner?) was also super friendly and sweet. Absolutely going back.“

“I've been trying to get to this place for months!!! I finally had the opportunity today to go 🙌 the menu is quite small ,I anticipated so much more they could have done with the peaches. I want to give huge shout out to Jackie one of the leads at the restaurant. You can tell that she truly enjoys what she does and she takes he position seriously. I appreciate you sis for taking care of me today. It's service like you provided today that makes repeat customers.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

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

“Great pancakes and bacon!!!“

“good food 👍 good service.“

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