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

“I love this place. This is my second time eating at this cafe. I got the beef empanada and peanut butter Acai. The drip over coffee was strong (which is what I was looking for). There are many other things I hope to try on the menu in the future.“

“It was among the first place in the quarter to offer a decent vegan breakfast a few years ago and I would recommend the vegan plate there. The staff is kind and nice and the only downer is the pricing to me. Size are okay, but cost a bit too much for what you have.“

“What a great surprise. The food was delicious, and the service was great. We look forward to trying the rest of the menu. I highly recommend the Loco Moco.“

“Went here for the bottomless brunch ($22 for bottomless per person). The drinks were good and the food was good too (at least 3 vegan options — 10/10 RECOMMEND THE VEGAN FRENH TOAST!). Service was good initially but they became stingy and didnt even fill the carafe at the end. Overall good experience. They auto gratuity 20% and we tipped on top of that but something to keep in mind. The place itself is relatively small and quite busy so definitely recommend getting a reservation“

“So pleased we stumbled across this amazing coffee shop / diner. Friendly staff and atmosphere.. Cosy restaurant serving a great range of food in a great location, but doesn’t feel touristy 👌☺️“

“Absolutely delicious. The staff was awesome. Consuelo couldn't have been more friendly! Great experience. Highly recommend 😋😋“

“We had a simple yet tasty breakfast here. The coffee was great, the place was hopping and the weather was perfect for outdoor eating. It's cafeteria style: you order at the counter and they bring it to your table. The whole staff was very cool, even as they were working hard to service the big crowd. It was just what we wanted at the time. A quick hot meal and a good cup of joe reasonably priced and served with a smile. Thanks Caffe Central! We'll be back.“

“Had read when researching SF Pat's was popular and didn't disappoint. Friendly staff and oh my tasty food and large portions 🤦my burrito 🌯 was huge.Did my best. 😀 recommend highly“

“Atmosphere, customer service, prices and the freaking food is amazing 😍. Highest rated casual dining from Hayward to Vallejo! For good reason! This is a must if in the area. We will be back!“

“Very delicious food. Good vibes. Friendly staff. The only negative part is that the Kabob smell didn’t go with the coffee shop vibe. It’s more felt like restaurant.
We got the burrito breakfast and the Adana Alavion role. I like that non of them were salty. But the Adana kabob was a bit dray, I like it to be more juicy.“

“This restaurant is great in everyway , the food,the crew ,the coffee (ufff excelent) and the place in general is great to relax and enjoit every moment you're there.“

“To be honest. The food was not that great, but it is good. I will say 8 out of 10. But ..... Why I gave five stars, because their staff especially the host/server, it was an asian man, he was veryyyyyyyy serving. He gave smiles, serve very well, really warm welcoming. That's the service needed in F&B industry !!!! Very good.

Plus, i went there on monday and turned out it's a free drink day. So i bought chicken basil and crispy veggies roll. Very good food, and the best part yet to come. I love spicy food, so I asked if they have chilli powder, the server told me they have chilli paste. When he brought it to me, he warn me its very spicy. And guess what? Exactly the spicy level I wanted and its very rare to get this green chilli paste like that here in the States. I love it !! Thank you !!!“

“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 🌹🌹🌹“

“Great food always! Old school comfort food (french toast, omelettes, waffles, pancakes plus a lot more ) be prepared to wait if you are going on the weekend.“

“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?“

“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.“

“I just tried your original scone from Whole Foods here in San Jose, and it is so delicious and moisty! Please keep making them. Hope to visit your cafe in Berkeley one day.“

“Updated 11/2024 Sadly - place is closed permanently .. checked their IG & Yelp .. both confirmed closure. (Old review) Crispy Chicken Fried Rice ❤️❤️❤️ wok hei 👍👍👍 & chicken soooo crispy … & the best Vietnamese egg roll … crispy & oil less ..“

“Best food and best service!“

“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.“

“Piedmont Cafe has been reliably great to me. It’s a no-frills diner, and that’s exactly what I want many days. Prices are good, food is good, and service is always friendly and fast. I recommend one of their omelettes, but I’ve had friends order other things (such as the crab cake benedict) and I’ve always been very impressed when I tried them.“

“Not many vegetarian options, but the one you have is the best ever🤩“

“Cafe Isabella's delicious food (they serve my favorite San Francisco burrito), and overall appealing aesthetic design reflect the fine tastes of its owner, Hilda. And, I happily note that Cafe Isabella strictly adheres to COVID-19 mitigation best practices.“

“We got the chicken provolone and the smoked turkey avocado sandwiches. The sandwiches were flavorful, but it really a place to take out. It is a really small place and the outside eating experience was shaded and not very good. Take out is the way to eat here.“

“Cute lil mom and pop shop Cafe which I believe is owned and operated by one family. Kenny Nguyen is the owner and I believe he operates with his wife, daughter and mother. They were all very sweet and the food was delicious and delivered fast with the utmost courtesy.

There are only 3 2-tops inside and 1 3-top table outside. There's also a bar that looks like it can handle a couple other patrons.

Walking distance from many hospitals“

“had eggs jaqueline. was superb.“

“Great Service. Fun atmosphere!!“

“Delicious food! Great Bar and desserts! Super friendly staff and owners.“

“I've been trying to get to this place for months!!! I finally had the opportunity today to go 🙌 the menu is quite small ,I anticipated so much more they could have done with the peaches. I want to give huge shout out to Jackie one of the leads at the restaurant. You can tell that she truly enjoys what she does and she takes he position seriously. I appreciate you sis for taking care of me today. It's service like you provided today that makes repeat customers.“

“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!“

“Excelente restaurante! Muy buena comida y servicio. Se ha convertido en mi desayuno favorito 💕“

“Dude, this place is awesome. Reviewers offering less than 4* are just grumpy and sour curmudgeons! The lady behind the counter always knows who I am - sees me walk in and immediately starts my coffee order. She’s an absolute saint. Food is delicious.“

“Kids enjoyed the donuts, other food options are limited (no omlets or oatmeal --menu on Google maps is old, and website inaccurate). Drinks were quite hot so took a bit to cool off and be drinkable. The sizes of drinks was also not clear.“

“My daughter treated me to lunch. I had the Crispy Shrimp. It was delicious, and the right amount to enable me to finish my plate. There was no line. We were seated as soon as we entered. Usually, there is a long line because the place is popular. Our server, she was awesome.“

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

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

“Great pancakes and bacon!!!“
