Love this neighborhood spot!! The owners and staff are so attentive. There's plenty of options for breakfast and lunch at reasonable prices. They have some outside seating for those who want to get some sun. Easy to find free parking on the side street. The vibe is chill - I often see people lounging, reading, or playing games in there with their friends. Come support this gem!

Went on the spur of the moment with my daughter, son-in-law, a baby and a four-year-old. Food was great, delivered quickly, and the service was wonderful. Lovely atmosphere inside and out.

Really missed Homemade Cafe, and then found this cafe across the street, seems small owner owned which I like, good selection of food, but the Ceasar salad was exactly what I wanted. Sat for an hour with friends in a very comfortable environment, great addition to the neighborhood.

I love this place!! The perfect unpretentious, inviting, locally-owned cafe. For the last several months, my friends and I have been visiting this cafe on a weekly basis to practice our spanish together, and it has such a welcoming, relaxing environment that it has been a joy meeting here. The staff are incredibly friendly and even help us practice our Spanish! The owner is always there, working hard, and he usually brings us out some samples to try and chats with us a bit. The ice cream and agua frescas are delicious! Seriously, I can not praise this place enough, it is such a little gem.

Parking: Always easy to find parking on the street. It is a nice, chill neighborhood environment.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to access

A nice sunny day to hang out in a Berkeley cafe. I'll have to check it when the weather is not as nice.
