This is a great family-friendly restaurant. Kids of all ages can be comfortable, with high chairs for those who need them, and a few interesting items such as trains on the walls. It is a go-to for us when hosting grandparents from out of town. The menu features all the classic favorites, plus amazing chilaquiles, french toast, and hearty scrambles.

First time here, just traveling g through. I enjoyed the Eggs Benedict & my husband had the scrambled Chorizo and eggs... Pretty darn tasty! Place was packed, yet service with a smile was fast! Love the fun rustic atmosphere too... If we lived here we'd definitely be back 👍

Came here on a whim with my bestie who lives in Oakland. We actually walked here from her house. The restaurant was in a cozy shopping area of Montclair. Lots of busy patriots all in the area, shopping and lining up to be seating for their fave restaurant. There is only all street parking so good luck. We waited about 30 plus min. It's easier and faster wait with only two people. The restaurant itself is small and not many large tables for groups.
We both ordered their crab Benedict. It was pretty good. Decent price. Didn't get to try other things but wouldn't mind coming back to try other dishes. This is only open for brunch hours only. Service was very friendly and attentive. I really enjoyed the atmosphere here. I won't mind coming back if in the area.

I’ve been to this place twice and always got the pesto crepe. The first time, the filling was a bit more generous. The taste was okay, but it wasn’t exactly mind-blowing. I went back with some friends a few weeks ago, and the filling was about 15% less than the last time I had it, which was around 2-3 months ago. Overall, I’d give it a 6/10, especially since you have to wait a bit during brunch hours on the weekends.

Beautiful breakfast/brunch spot in the hills of Oakland. Highly recommend sitting at one of their window tables. The service was very hospitable and the food was very flavorful and delicious. Highly recommend if you’re in the area during breakfast/lunch time.

The menu looks delicious . The only bummer is the potato pancakes come with ham in them and you cannot order them without. Jewish people don't eat ham. Why would you add ham to latkes?

100% would recommend! Friendly staff, timely service. The best dishes are the potato pancakes, chorizo scramble and club sandwich

I’ve known about this place for years, just never thought much about going. Mainly because on the weekends, it is indeed crowded. However, myself and my dining companion got there just about 10:15 on Sunday morning. The place was busy! We got seated immediately! Glad we did! While we were there eating, it started to fill up with a lot with larger groups of folks waiting for tables. My companion had the Chilaquiles, which didn’t look like any Chilaquiles that I’m familiar with, having been to Mexico many times, but he thought they were good! I got the corned beef hash with two poached eggs. Very tasty. The server was surprised how fast we ate! We laughed and told her we’re both from big families, so we’re used to eating quickly. Plus, we’re not the type to linger, unless we’ve had cocktails or wine. Would recommend. Just be prepared to wait if there’s more than two of you on the weekends.

Such a lovely and charming place! The atmosphere was unique and cozy — perfect for a relaxing brunch. The food was tasty and well-prepared, but the portions were a bit small and quite average overall.
I really enjoyed the experience, especially the ambiance, but I wish the meals had been a bit more filling. Still, it’s a nice spot for a casual outing or a light brunch.
Cute place, but pretty mediocre food overall, and surprisingly pricey

Predictably good food, but very noisy. Had trouble conversing with my guest without adding to the nose! Outdoor seating was not available when we visited.
