Dude! This breakfast sandwich is fire! I ordered a sausage, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich plus added bacon and I can't begin to tell you how often I recall the taste of that sandwich daily. I'm actually trying to diet and gawd this tasty place is not productive.This is the type of breakfast sandwich you make at home because you can make it your way and no one else gets it right...this place makes your breakfast sandwich.Buttery, savory and with the bacon salty! Just what Mondays call for.The service can be a little hipster, meaning lackluster, depending on who you get but this is the Bay, I've dealt with way worst and a little sugar goes a long way...at times. Try to kill em with a smile. ?Small location and I've personally never eaten on site, I'm always taking into the office or home and that's says a lot that a takeaway hot sandwich is still 'momma's homemade good' after 15 min+ transport.

My best friend that is an Oakland local brought me here for breakfast sandwiches and OMG it's a total hidden gem! The sandwich is simple, egg, cheese and sausage on an English muffin but it is amazing! I don't know what sorcery they use to keep the cheese gooey throughout the entire time you're eating the sandwich but it's a game changer! Definitely stop by if you're in the area!

We come here every time we fly into Oakland airport. Chill vibe, hella good coffee and delicious breakfast sandwiches. Certainly a hidden gem. Will absolutely be back.

This is probably the BEST breakfast sandwich spot I've ever eaten at. The food tastes so fresh and was delicious! I can't even begin to explain how amazing the food is here and can't wait to go back again! Friendly staff, clean environment and amazing food!! Highly recommended!

I'm almost 9months pregnant with twins. I was craving a bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. I Drove an extra 15mins out the way to this spot for a Egg Bacon and Cheese Breakfast sandwich. This is what I get . Highly disappointing. The bacon was so crispy it started breaking off, the egg was fried very hard, way too hard! Based off all the Yelp pictures I didn't think I had to specify how I wanted my eggs and bacon cooked. If it's anything, The lady at the front desk was very nice.. I noticed she was talking to someone else (another lady) behind the counter, perhaps that's why my breakfast sandwich turned out the way it did ...

I really like this cute little spot. They've got great food and service. I first came a few years ago for their breakfast sandwich and then again the other day when I was rushing to work and hadn't eaten breakfast. The bread was nice and warm, eggs, bacon, and cheese all blended perfectly together. It's just an excellent bite. The server was friendly and my sandwich came out in good time. I can tell it was freshly prepared. Just a sweet cozy cafe to sit and chill with some good food/coffee on your own or with friends.

Omg this REALLY IS THE BEST BREAKFAST SANDWICH IN OAKLAND!!!! It's tucked away in tiny spot in Jingletown and it's not on my way anywhere really. But I had some time, needed a pick me up and had some free time. Man this was worth it! I had the Brian's and it was fantastic. I will have to make it on my way more often!!! If you love a breakfast sandwich like I do, it really is the best.
Tucked away off a block from the Park Street Bridge is a hole in the wall with perhaps some of the best breakfast sandwiches in the Bay Area. We tried two different versions of the Brian's Special: the usual one with bacon and another with sausage. Definitely expected the sausage to be better, but somehow, even after a 20 minutes, the bacon was still so crisp and hot. But the best part about this sandwich is that it is absolutely LOADED with each piece. Egg and spinach cuts the oiliness, avocado brings the creaminess, and bacon adds the satisfying crunch to make each bite just as perfect as the last. We'll be back. And as a separate shout-out, we also ordered 4 sandwiches and they turned them out quickly! Great food delivered with great service at a great value.

My husband was always raving about their coffee and how friendly the store owner is, as he commutes by the Lake Merritt Bart station. Today I had a chance to stop by, and he was so right!! Their drip coffee is Super flavorful with depth, and I was surprised how much froth it came with on top! I ordered a breakfast sandwich & it was a generous amount and bread was excellent - crunchy and soft. I'll have to give him a ride more often!

Fantastic, friendly, and hidden gem here in Jingletown! Little corner coffee shops like this always leave you wanting to come back for more. Dog friendly.

Brian's Sandwich was super tasty! They toasted the English muffin perfectly, it was super crispy on the outside but still soft inside. They do NOT skimp on the avocado that's for sure look at how thicc she is!! We had hot sauce on the side which made it even better. Soo flavorful, I enjoyed how they incorporated the spinach with the egg that was seasoned well, not too salty. The bacon added a nice crunch to the creaminess of the avocado and cheese. I ordered the special and I added egg to it which was an additional $4!! Inflation at its finest. This was also tasty but not for the price in my opinion. Maybe because the Brian Sandwich was only $12.95 vs my $16.95 lolol. Still good but def go for the Brian. Nice little spot to enjoy a breakfast sandwich when you're craving it

Super delicious breakfast sandwiches. I'm not a coffee drinker but their beverage always seem to please. Parking is challenging but you might get lucky.
