“great value and delicious on- the- go breakfast selections. An independent establishment that enhances the neighborhood.“

“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?“

“My husband and I stopped by for breakfast and really enjoyed it. There was a great selection of sandwiches, croissants, muffins, and drinks. They also make delicious crepes with Nutella and fresh berries—exactly the way I like them! The place was very busy, which says a lot about its popularity, but the food was worth it. We'd happily come back for breakfast again.“

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

“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.“

“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 🌹🌹🌹“

“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 “

“had eggs jaqueline. was superb.“

“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.“

“Sydney was absolutely amazing! ⭐ I came to IHOP with Silver, my service dog, and the baby I babysit, and Sydney made our whole experience so wonderful. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and constantly checked in on us to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. She was so kind and welcoming to both of us, and her service really stood out. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers. Thank you, Sydney, for making our visit such a great experience! 💕 We truly appreciated you!“

“Stumbled upon Breakfast at Tiffany's after visiting SF Flea Market. I was craving Sunday brunch and the online reviews were overall positive. The portions were huge, the fresh squeezed OJ refreshing and the service was great. We ordered an omlete and the tater tot skillet. Next time we'll probably stick with omelets as there's more meat. Otherwise, we thought it was a really nice brunch place!“

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

“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.“

“Very small coffee and breakfast spot. Family run. I have. Soft spot for these kinds of places. Food felt like home cooked and made with care. Very tasty. Try the iced Vietnamese coffee. Parking is hit or miss. One or two tables in the dining room, so go with takeout or wait your turn.“

“Love them. I take my morning walk on my days off usually Sunday mornings. Super cozy, hole in the wall, and I order my usual waffle fanatic, with eggs and bacon. I think family owned. Can get busy at times but these folks bust their booties to get everyone in and fed and on their merry way so don't forget to tip them fat ! Have a blessed one . Hope you love this spot as much as I do. Ciao!“

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

“Was very quick to get seated in the morning and Fabio was fantastic with serving us making sure everything was perfect and on a timely matter, food was amazing and was fairly priced for each person with a high appetite. I Ordered the chicken and waffles and they were amazing with the fried potatoes“

“At the risk of making this place too busy, I have to give them their due. We tried them for the first time today and everything was excellent, from the service to the coffee to the food. The beans that come with the Mexican breakfast entrees are the best I've had anywhere. Come eat with these good folks.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Good place and good food 🙏👍“

“It’s a dive bar for food (and it’s glorious). Cheap, simple food.

Grab a donut, bagel, breakfast sandwich, or drip coffee. Cash or $5 card minimum.

I love these kinds of shops and I’ll do anything to support the hardworking people who save us from the posh spots that charge 3x as much just to sit next to an Edison bulb.“

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

“The donuts here are out of this world good. Especially the apple fritters, cinnamon buns, and crumb cake donut. And the coffee is really good too. Not too strong and bitter. Just right.

The staff is always friendly and helpful and quick with a smile.

There are tons of other breakfast and lunch offerings from the grill but when they have the best donuts in SF, and quite possibly the world, why try anything else. I have lived in 16 countries on 3 continents, and travelled to dozens more, and the donuts here are by far the best I have ever had.

The place is a hot spot for breakfast and lunch but as the staff is so efficient and helpful you never have to wait long.

I gave the atmosphere a 5 star because if you come to a traditional, old style, American artisan donut emporium and expect something other than basic accoutrements, you’re in the wrong place. The place is not chi-chi or frou-frou, but it is down home, comfortable and clean.“

“Come for coffee stay for baked goods!“

“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.“

“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.“
