“Highly recommended, creative way of serving carnitas tacos. Delicious!! Menu is simple and easy to understand and we got a cookie with our order. Finally a legit place in Orinda“

“Great food, fast efficient service, reasonable price. I had the large lamb gyro at a decent price and it was nicely seasoned, full of fresh lettuce tomato cucumber and onion, and had great tzatziki. They offered hot sauce which I took and it was a great optional addition for me as a spice lover. While waiting I drank free water from a dispenser on the counter and enjoyed the fact that these folks are running a small and quick cafe with authentic food, and not pretending to be my fake friend with effusive over the top “service”. Highly recommended if you enjoy good food and don’t require “the help” to supplicate to you.“

And amazing food . . And yes, amazing cocktails!! Down to the last finishing touches ! We will definitely be back !“

“We had a wonderful dinner here. The food was varied and inventive. We had a variety of dishes. The rolls were more interesting than the shared plates, but all were good. We especially liked the Ewa and Pacifica specialty rolls. The desserts were fabulous - Yuzu Cheesecake, Mixed Berry Cheesecake and Pistachio Ice Cream. Gluten containing dishes were clearly marked.“

“Good Burritos and good service“

“Friends here visiting and found this gem of a place! Best thing is we didn’t have to go far! Food was delicious!“

“One of numerous macrobiotic-ish all vegan restaurants in the east bay serving similar menus. This one is delicious and filling. Menu changes slightly daily but basically consists of bean soup, collard greens w/ sauce, vegetables, beans, rice and green salad w/ dressing. Very tasty and enjoyable. Definitely would recommend.

“Vegan Donut Gelato is PHENOMENAL! My wife and I loved our brief stop this week. The donuts are massive and well worth the price. Friendly service and the woman who served us was great. Highly recommended!“

“I took my wife out for date night and wanted to try this new place. This place is “Happening”. The music, the decor, the drinks, and … oh the food! Sabrosisima!!! Love how adventurous the chef is with Colombian fair highlighting the Pacific side of the country. It is an experience. Bacano! ??“

“This is what we had tonight but, they have excellent food and service every time.“

“We were gifted our first ever Bake Sum box. After trying just one bite of a Yuzu meringue bun I knew I needed more. Ordered our second BSB last week and shared amongst the roomies, huge hit. Well baked, not too sweet, great flavor combinations. 10/10 would recommend the Bake Sum box. If you can’t grab a box, you can grab al a cart day of pick ups just to tide you over until you can get a box 😋“

“Excellent pasta! Freshly made! Great ingredients! The espresso and ice cream was amazing“

“My daughter took me and the hubby here for our Thanksgiving celebration since she couldn't come home (Sac) for actual Thanksgiving, we went to her. This was a night I won't soon forget! Having a nice meal with our daughter was a treat, the service was amazing and the food....OMG! Every bite of every dish I tasted was so so delicious! I can't get the butternut soup out of my head it was THAT good! We all ordered different food & shared bites with one another. This night was so enjoyable! Thank you, Sis & Thank you Mama Oakland!“

“The mixes are Great!! Smooth taste and great customer service 🙏🏿🖤“

“Was in the area and did a search for ice cream. This place popped up and I decided to check it out. The vibe from the staff is great. The flavors are nice and different, the finish of the ice cream is fresh. No lingering fattiness or artificial viscosity.

Will definitely come back if I'm in the area and want ice cream. Store is clean and bright, plenty of natural light and simple decor. The production area is clearly visible so you can see they're proud of what they're doing. I recommend this place.“

“Two days later and I'm still thinking about the shukaquiles, I don't think I'll ever forget it. It was delicious! The eggs were so soft, and the pita chips so full of flavorful sauce but yet so crisp. I don't live in the area but will be sure to stop again to try more of the menu if ever I'm there.“

“Always an interesting experience and fun treat. Classic cocktails in a classic atmosphere. Service is on point! Food is innovative yet still comforting and familiar. Never disappointed.“

“Great atmosphere and delicious food! Outdoor dining, too!“

“rice pudding, cookies, borek,“

“What a lovely surprise to find such tasty, healthy food so close to home, friendly staff, on time! Lightly cooked but high-protein and *yummy*“

“Petit Cafe is a hidden gem! The warm ambiance, delightful pastries, and rich coffee make it the perfect spot to unwind. The staff are friendly, and every visit feels like a little escape from the hustle and bustle. Highly recommend!“

“Excelente personas muy trabajadoras ambiente familiar y bastantitas menús saludables lo recomiendo al 100%“

“I’ve eaten probably over one thousand bagels in my life. By most accounts I’m an expert in the field of bagels. Trust me when I tell you that this is a good bagel— nay, an excellent bagel.

How could I describe the balance of chewiness to sweetness to softness. Not too dense, nor too light. The ratio of cream cheese to lox to toppings approaches divinity.

I couldn’t describe it to you, you wouldn’t understand. You must go. Go.“

“Second time at Bombera. Just as good as the last time. Atmosphere is inviting. Multiple dishes for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Took the two most picky eaters i know, and they enjoyed every dish more than the last. Staff is great too. 👍🏾 It's a great location for drinks, celebrations and just a good meal. Only slightly negative is be aware it is noisey and lively inside so don't go here if you are trying to have a quiet dinner.“

“Hop& John Blueberry pancakes“

“George's Giant Hamburger? More like George's Genius Hamburger! This place nails it with their menu—tons of choices, but I went for the classic hamburger, and it was a home run. Juicy, packed with flavor, and exactly what you'd want when you're craving a great burger. My son devoured his, and my partner couldn’t stop raving about the beef bulgogi plate (yes, bulgogi at a burger joint—trust me, it's a win). The staff? Super friendly and on top of everything. I’m already plotting my return for the loco moco. If you haven’t been, what are you even doing?“

“5 stars. Amazing food from the lentil soup to dessert. Highly recommend.“

“The lamb chops were phenomenal!“

“The food was great, the service was excellent, I was very satisfied“

“This is some of the best vegan food I have ever tried IN MY LIFE (and I eat a lot of vegan food...). There is so much thought and attention to detail towards each dish. I am a big texture person, and that is another thing that I appreciate a lot about Vegan Chula dishes. And for anybody who is not typically a vegan eater, they would never know that this is even vegan!“

“Great little gem! We really enjoyed their veggie croissants. And concha is not to be missed as well. Looking forward to coming back!

Plenty of street parking available, there’s outdoor seats available as well. And they serve coffee.

And best thing is..no long line !“

“I am pretty happy with the food I ordered, even though their menu isn't much different from the vegan options you would get at most Indian restaurants in the area. For a takeout-only place, I find $20 before tax and tip for an entrée quite hefty. I also had somewhat of a hard time picking up food, as automatic pickup only seems to work for delivery drivers and there is not always a person at the counter. Still, the food is good and when you order it spicy they actually make it decently spicy. I will most likely order there again.“

“Highly recommend the Duck Confit with good company and a nice red wine. You can’t go wrong with this combination. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“"Tacos 0scar is a food truck in Oakland that offers tacos with bold and creative flavors. Their poached egg tacos with fresh toppings are very popular, as are the vegan options. With a local and artisanal approach, they have won over the hearts of taco lovers in the region."???“

“My new favorite burger spot has been found! It’s not a millennial $40 burger with a side of “trying to be original.” It’s a standard burger place with a great selection of great burgers and sides. My mom’s loved the smash burger and I love the falafel. The staff were super nice and I can’t wait to come again.

Vegetarian options: The falafel is great! I got it with avocado and it added an extra layer of creaminess which was perfect.“
