Bad food, overcharged, got my order not even close to correct. Honestly kind of impressed

Horrible! Ordered a cheeseburger with no bun. As I waited, I heard a microwave warming and was praying that it wasn’t my burger. When I got my burger , It was a dried thin overheated patty with no cheese and some old lettuce, in which I was charged $11 for. I asked him where was the cheese, he threw a cold piece of chese on it and didn’t even bother to melt it, Then when I asked him to melt it , he melted it in the same microwave that he made my burger. This was horrible , took one piece and almost threw up! I did even bother to argue, I just politely took the burger , said they can have $13 in total I spent and told myself that I would never , and I mean NEVER EVER return ! I don’t even write reviews, but it was no way I could LET THIS SLIDE!! I Pray they see this too !!

Single most WORST cafe i’ve been to at berkeley. The owner was very rude and the service overall was terrible. Atmosphere and food is not that good either, would never go to this place in any incarnated life or

This is a hidden gem family business! Sara and Roy are absolutely amazing. Friendly, kind, and always make sure I’ve got everything I need when I work and eat there.You MUST try to the BLT breakfast sandwich if you’re there for breakfast. And hot pastrami for lunch. Thank me later.And they are fast!

OVERCHARGED me. I wish I had seen the reviews below before going, because I would have asked for receipt. Their menu says $5.9 for cream cheese bagel. With 10.25% tax, it should be $6.5 for my to-go order, but they did not use a software to calculate taxes and just charged me $7.85. I even asked to clarify but they were vague about it. It's not a good business practice.

Nice egg sandwich & coffee, served up with a smile on a cold, gray, deserted day. A clean, modest place, open in mid-day when the other restaurants on the street are closed.

This place is super underrated. The food is amazing but so are the owners. They are by far the nicest people I met in Berkeley. They also have World Cup 2022 screening at their place. MUST VISIT!

FRAUD! HECK NO!I paid $16 for a croissant and an Italian soda. When a asked for a receipt after I ate, the price came to $13.83. WHAT??? I'm so confused.FRAUD ALERT! FRAUD ALERT! FRAUD ALERT!It's $1.75 for cheese and $1.75 Avocado; I was willing, about there was barely any avocado on it.Too bad ZERO stars isn't an option.CHECK YOUR RECEIPT!!The man in the below picture was terrible and has terrible customer service!Also, why wear a mask if you're gonna wear it on your chin?? Not wearing the mask properly which is beyond me?

Breakfast sandwich was delicious. They do put a pinch of salt and black pepper in their eggs, so be aware if you are allergic to either/both.
