I’m really happy to find this place. Quiet, inexpensive, good food and coffee, super friendly owner, and decent wifi. I work remotely and like to get out of the house. This will be definitely my regular spot to do my morning emails and have breakfast.

This is cafe at the Orinda village. It has a surreal vibe, with an old Californian feel, with locals showing up and hanging out starting at 8 am. The service was a little slow as only one person, the owner, I am assuming, was working on Monday morning. The BLT I got was ok, the bacon was overcooked, but the coffee was good. Everything was reasonably priced (in comparison to the prices in this affluent area).

The owners are amazing. They’re so nice and it’s a husband and wife that work together, very nice people.Sandwiches are great but the coffee is really good too! I personally get the chai latte and they make it perfectlyParking: There’s a big lot in the back with a lot of parking available if street parking isn’t available

Found this little gem while looking a somewhere to grab breakfast locally. Great food and service. Baked goods and breakfast sandwiches were delicious. Good selection of coffee and espresso, plus smoothies for the kids

I stopped by for some sandwiches, and it was just okay. The service was slow and distracted, but okay. The food was okay. There was nothing wrong with the place, it just wasn't great. It's more of a locals-only hangout than a place you'd go for good food or coffee, and that's fine.

Been going here for years, I live a little up the street. A classic "mom an pop" Cafe. They do good coffee, sandwiches, soup, and breakfast bagels/pastries. Not a bad place to take a work call in front to enjoy some sunshine and coffee as well.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly.

This small bakery has fresh wild blackberry muffins that are perfectly made and very tasty. I also had the coffee frappe made while you wait for your bakery item. Very unique menu from my experience. They have nice tables outside or you can stay inside.I would give it a 5, if not for the problem connecting to the internet. I planned on doing work but unable to connect via their wifi. (Which was free if you can get on it.). I connect just fine at other coffee shops with no problem.

I enjoy finding new eateries, especially coffee spots with good sandwiches. I love sandwiches that have a "going home for the holidays" equivalent to Ike's. So here I go, scoping out a new spot that just so happens to have a turkey+cranberry sando. Well! It was definitely not what I was expecting. Here's what happened: - Pulled up to park in front of the establishment. Plus because there was no competition for parking. - came in to through the front doors to see several people seated to the left, looked like regulars. Saw additional seating to the right with a window view. - cute exterior, looked like a Dutch provincial style home. Interior looked a little outdated but homey. - large menu behind the register, plus for visibility - stood behind a middle-aged white couple before ordering. I was not acknowledged by the register person - cashier was probably the owner, Asian male late 40s/early 50s LOOKED ME UP AND DOWN like he was measuring my worth - took my order so scornfully I felt he was not going to give me my food. What I ordered: Cafe au lait + turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce on rye The sandwich was so lackluster, I've never had such a bland meal. The saving grace was the cranberry sauce. Way too much mayo. The mustard made it taste off but at least gave it SOME flavor. The turkey was boiled, no seasoning and the most insignificant amount of salt. Come on! It's turkey! Give it a little love! It's literally a flavor sponge based on what you put into it. I would NEVER come back here. It's really hard for me to give a place 1 star, but this place is definitely deserving of the low score. I'm sure the owners/servers treat their regulars (those who they perceive as AFFLUENT) with more dignity and respect. I, a Hispanic woman and paying customer, should also be treated with an equal amount of respect but I guess you can't teach people manners and courtesy! Here's a tip to the owners: SMILE AND GREET EVERYONE EQUAL AMOUNT OF CONSIDERATION! You do not know how much money is in people's bank account based on how they are dressed or what color their skin is. Distasteful establishment. Stay away!
