“😋 definitely recommend. Get the vegan Potato, the apple and also the beef for sure!! Their espresso is amazing too 😊“

“Lake Chabot is a great place to walk - shorter walks or even the 9 mile very scenic loop around the Lake starting and ending at the Marina Snack Bar/Cafe. Not much of a place to eat through very limited selection - much much less than a 7-11.“

“Nice atmosphere, pet friendly and delicious food and drinks.“

“Inviting, vibrant, and warm, Charlie May is a great spot to grab a cold brew, hibiscus tea, and/or delicious baked good! The owners are true Town folks who provide space for great local caterers, artisans, and dog lovers alike. This spot may be off the beaten path, but I assure you, it’s a gem worth the trek!“

“100%recomendado lo mejor el café ☕️ super rico 😋 👌 lo mejor muy bonito el lugar“

“Best breakfast sandwich in the area, and best prices too!!
Today’s special was chorizo and I was thrilled they let me add chorizo as the meat option to the breakfast croissant.
This was the best tasting breakfast sandwich, truly cooked and assembled to perfection, and the service is friendliest in the town for sure. Thanks Dimond cafe!!“

“Super awesome place! Was traveling out of town and I got the prosciutto toast with arugula and caramelized onions, and it was great!

The best part was how awesome the staff was with my son. He wanted a mango and peach smoothie which wasn’t on the menu, and they went out of their way to help us customize it into something he would actually like and he loved it.

We’ll definitely go again.“

“very excellent coffee ☕☕☕👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 recommended to anyone.“

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best local spot in Oakland!
​Honestly one of my favorite coffee spots in town. The people working here are super friendly and make you feel welcome the second you walk in.
​The iced coffee and lattes are always on point, and the breakfast sandwiches are amazing. Everything is super fresh and made right there. Super clean, great vibe, and just a top-tier neighborhood gem. Definitely check them out if you’re nearby!“

“It's basically a storefront at a small business park that serves Mediterranean food and a few American-style items too. The food is fresh and flavorful. However, there is no indoor seating, so it's either a take-out option or there are a few tables and chairs available under a sun sail in the parking lot.“

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

“Great local and family owned coffee shop. It's small but we appreciated the space and the wonderful service very friendly and she made our breakfast sandwiches to order. They take cash, Venmo, and Zelle just a heads up but that wasn't an issue for us. Would highly recommend to anyone.“

“I went to HM because i was procrastinating and sure enough when I got there I ran into my friend, Kico! I love Kico and he was eating a turkey and egg breakfast sando, which he seemed to love. We chatted for a while- HM is a great place to chat. I got a cold brew and it was great. I love Hasta Muerte!“

“I wanted to try everything here! Had breakfast pastries, miso chicken bowl, desserts, and lattes and mochas on numerous occasions during my trip to the area. All were wonderful and tasted homemade. Egg tart was so smooth, flavorful, and not rubbery. I want to know their secret to this! My other favorite item is the walnut chocolate chip cookie. Omg so decadent!“

“Good stuff, love nondairy options!“

“Absolutely my favorite little coffee shop. It’s ran by the most lovely brown mamas who’s loving energy radiates into everything they do. Super queer friendly and the most amazing Chipotle Sandwich and Cafe de olla around.“

“This place has good food, but they really do need to focus on cleaning up the area where you eat! All the tables were filled with crumbs from people eating and the floor looked like it hadn't been cleaned in over a week and none of the staff seemed to care about it. They were busy on their phones instead of tidying up the place.“

“I had The Combo Pho and took a Combo Bahn Mi to go.. Both very good and the bread for the bahn Mi was fresh. Also had a Thai Tea very good!“

“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!!“

“It’s a Beautiful place the guys very Friendly and Nice costumer Service the Best Boba In the Bay Area. We loved and recommend ;they have a lot of flavors every fruit it’s Natural and the tapiocas so good 😊“

“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.“

“The donuts and the people behind the counter are fabulous! the atmosphere... not so much.
The building needs a refresh, and the inside is a bit cluttered. They store things in areas that used to be intended for guests.
I think a bit of paint and reorganization would do it a lot of good!“

“I just went to sujues a few days back .I order my normal small or large iced Carmel macchiato with whip cream and extra Carmel .it is one of my favorite drinks when I go there .The people are kind at the cashier area .I sometimes tip here n there because I like there place .they have the food and snacks behind the glass which I can see clearly .There prices are a lil high but it's the bay area Ca .I might go back again tomorrow for another drink. Small is $5.75 and a large is $6.92.I wish they were only $4-$5 but that's the price we pay for the best weather state in America and in the west coast .“

“Excellent!! The ube is wonderful!“

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

“7.1/10 Sausage and Egg breakfast sandwich $9.50

A lot of bagel places have breakfast sandwiches and bagels. Their sandwiches are nothing special and overpriced like every other place

It's worth more to find a Noahs Bagels and get something with more in the bagel or sandwich for about the same price or a lil more

I wont be back here for any breakfast sandwich. They had a lot of options for shmears it probably would've been better just to get a bagel“

“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.“

“I started going here like 4 months ago and I cannot stop coming back their sandwiches are so fresh and they have the softest rolls. I don't know what they put on it but it is very delicious and flavorful. Their service is very fast I go there all my lunch break and it doesn't take longer than 5 minutes. The staff is also very polite.“

“We found this gem while visiting from the east coast. Every morning we were in town we would go to breakfast at Amy’s. When you find a good thing, stick with it! Food and service are top notch. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Dog friendly! Fantastic food; outdoor dining“

“Great place to go to grab something to eat. Either solo or with company. Very nice service and the food was outstanding! I got the breakfast burrito! They have parking in the back of the restaurant so you don't have to pay for meterd parking (if you don't want too).“

“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.“

“So this is a small place. Food is good and served quick. Come in, sit down and order something fantastic.

I parked my emoto on the side of the building ( front) one entrance into the closed off path around the restaurant ( good bike parking) not for motorcycles ( too heavy and big) ,bicycles, ebikes and emotos are just fine.“

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