“Kudos to the crew at Thornhill Cafe. Thank you for always taking good care of me. I love your green smoothies. They're refreshing and just make you feel good and your breakfast bagels are awesome. It's my favorite place to stop when I'm working in the hills of Oakland. Doesn't seem to matter how many people are in there. You still get us in and out in no time. You're the best!!“

“A nice place for unusual, and tasty Pakistani, mediteranian food. Very fresh with outside dining, but short hours: breakfast and lunch closes at 2 pm. No photos, the food disappeared too fast! We usually order the lamb burger, Sammy's lunch, and the chicharron sandwich, They have vegetarian options, and mini cakes.“

“This was a great find for a quiet Saturday morning breakfast spot! We were looking for pancakes but also enjoyed their chilaquiles. The games were a pleasant surprise and we enjoyed a round of mancala. The coffee was delicious and my sons enjoyed the fresh fruit on top of the pancakes! Reasonable prices and they also have WiFi available! Decent location on the corner but we had to park a couple blocks away.“

“A weekday-only bagel shop run by a couple who used to manage bigger chains. Their everything bagel with house-smoked salmon and chive cream cheese was the highlight of my morning. The bagels were dense, chewy, and perfectly toasted. They offer gluten-free options, too. The tiny shop has a few stools—expect a short line around 8 AM“

“Thank goodness amazing Yellow Door came on the scene in Montclair. Efficient, healthy & delicious are just a few ways to describe this delicious eatery. Kale Chicken Caesar, Miso Chicken Bowl, the Breakfast Sandwich are just a few of our families faves. Don’t miss this local gem!“

“Pleasant & courteous greeting, Neat & clean tables, Quick table service & ordering, Good food, served hot“

“So I am always on the prowl for good breakfast joints. This is one of my new spots. I got the corn beef hash two eggs over medium sour dough toast and a cup of coffee. Meal was satisfying and to my surprise it came to just under 20 dollars with a tip. I was extremely pleased and even more happy the place is close to my house where I can pop in and get an inexpensive meal cooked right. Cornbeef was not super oily and the over medium eggs were cooked with no runny whites. Did not even need to ask for hot sauce as she brought it out with out being prompted. Service was good, place was kinda clean but not a concern for me. Good experience, and definitely a place I will visit again.....“

“Dog friendly! Fantastic food; outdoor dining“

“I absolutely love love this local business. They are great community supporters and their snacks and drinks are a special treat. It’s our own fancy everyday coffee spot.“

“Tasty fresh black coffee, peppery refried beans, and the right amount of crispy and soft machaca and eggs.

This quick stop turned into a wonderful family style diner where you can sit back and enjoy your meal and put down your phone for a little while.

The refried beans really tied my machaca plate together. The little bit of spiciness and black pepper pops and it reminded me of bean and cheese burritos growing up.

Stop in for fresh coffee and trust me on the frijoles.“

“Love coming here! The drinks are always so well made and delicious. Staff are kind and were able to let me know things I could have based on my allergies. I also love visiting the little shop of locally made goods from clothes, herbal medicines, and more! 10/10 would recommend ✨“

“This place is just a place to do work. The food here is not good but it is definitely not bad either. The atmosphere is generally quiet until you get some kids who start acting like assholes (usually people like me) and it’s an effective place to work if you like coffee shops.“

“Good prices, portions are reasonable brunch-sized and the back garden seating area is quaint. Be patient as they are often busy.“

“Amazing Vietnamese coffee and a sandwich - hit the spot! I wondered why the ratings were mixed and asked at the counter, they told me this was new ownership and it makes sense! They went above and beyond. Place is very clean and staff is friendly“

“Customer service is always welcoming, if you're social there's always a good conversation waiting or if you want to work with headphones on that's an option. The coffee or tea is great along with good food choices.“

“Good stuff, love nondairy options!“

“Blueberry Pour Over. Awesome Flavor. Best Coffee Until Dutch Bros.. Starbucks Who Suju's What Bye Phils“

“I had the pleasure of trying the lox bagel sandwich at Fairway Park Donut Shop, and I must say it was absolutely fantastic! This hidden gem of a place knows how to make a memorable sandwich. The lox was fresh and flavorful, perfectly paired with a soft, toasted bagel. The combination of cream cheese, capers, and red onions added just the right balance of flavors. It's a harmonious blend that left my taste buds dancing with delight. The service was quick and friendly, and the ambiance was cozy. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, this place has got you covered. I can't wait to return to try more of their offerings. Fairway Park Donut Shop, you've won a fan in me with your delicious lox bagel sandwich. Highly recommended!“

“I was there on 3/24/2020, during the morning senior hours. I WAS BLOWN AWAY AND SO HAPPY, SO IMPRESSED WITH SAFEWAY'S CLEAN AND ORGANIZED STORE. Great job Safeway, I normally shop with you anyway, from now on, NOBODY BUT SAFEWAY WILL GET MY BUSINESS!!“

“As advertised; one of THE best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had!! :)“

“i judge donut shops by the quality of their plain donuts. after trying several different shops, magdali deli remains #1 on my list! their old fashioned batter is buttery and sweet even without glaze, fried to crisp perfection.

the donuts are slightly higher priced than some other places, but i believe they taste better. the espresso machine is usually broken so i go for a café con leche. i like that they sell mexican candy and snacks!“

“The food here is amazing and affordable! It's a great place to stop by for sandwiches, salads and tacos ☺️“

“This is the only place I go for lunch by my job. The staff are friendly and everything tastes good...everything. My recommendation would be the breakfast burrito in the Morning and the and the egg salad sandwich or Salami Sandwhich for lunch.“

“Hornitos are very good but outside the restaurant there is a woman who sells tamales and the other day I went to buy tamales and pupusas and I told the woman to give me salsa and curtido because that's what pupusas carry and first she told me they were $18:00 dollars and once I was there and I asked the woman to give me what the pupusas contain, she charged me $3:00 dollars more because I had asked for the sauce and curtido, but at no time did she tell me that she was going to charge me extra until that he had already put them in the bag ?️ and he told me that everywhere they were already charging me separately for everything and I told him that that was not true because I buy pupusas in several places and that nowhere did they charge me extra because that is with what goes with that meal.“

“8-Twelve is a true neighborhood gem. It is the kind of place where kids can grab a snack and a fun drink for a reasonable price, and then just relax after school. Even though it is not as close to the middle or high school as some of the other hangouts, it has become one of our favorites.

I appreciate that it has lasted the test of time and I hope it continues to thrive. One of the best parts is that they offer non-caffeinated tea drinks for the kids, which is rare and so thoughtful.

8-Twelve has that welcoming vibe that makes it feel like part of the community.“

“Bomb. Burgers hott chicks goood foood been there lots of time great service“

“If you are into Ube then this is the place.“

“Was my first time trying Tommy's Doughnuts and wow I am impressed! The service was amazing and quick, and very friendly. The doughnuts are absolutely delicious and fresh. The prices were great as well! Will need to stop by Tommy's again the next time I am in “

“t The food is fantastic. Especially easy to grab and go after work. Try a couple entrees to share. Yummy.“

“Food was good and delivered in a timely manner“

“I enjoy their drinks here. The only complaint is they take a long time to prepare the drinks. I guess it’s takes time to make excellent tasting drinks. But it does turn me off sometimes from stopping here. Other than that the crafty lemon drinks hit the spot.“

“Food was done quickly and it tasted amazingly delicious.“

“food is delicious. staff is so friendly and so supportive. They have the best vegetarian food in bay area.. I would recommend everyone who read this message to try at least once...I have done catering from this place and owner and staff have done great job...good job guys keep it up..GOD BLESS“

Thank you very much! and my one and only recommendation, PLEASE COME AND TRY & SUPPORT! This deli is the real deal & so AMAZING & DELICIOUS! Lastly, the family/ customer service is GREAT!! Thank you again! ✌🏽 ❤ 🥪 😋“

“Got there shortly after they opened and already had customers. The cook was the only one behind the counter and took my order and got it wrong. The food was small portions, Omelette I asked for Swiss cheese and got cheddar. The food was good and fresh. It was the first time there and wanted to check it out before I brought the rest of my family. Not impressed.“
