Fantastic breakfast spot in Pleasanton!
Met a friend at Danica’s this morning and had the Eggs Benedict with hot chocolate, absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked, rich flavors, and a warm, welcoming vibe. Highly recommend!

Their latte is just horrible. I ordered a regular one and got a strange lukewarm spiced liquid. There's almost nothing to choose from their menu, apart from some kind of egg variation. The wonder bar was hard as a stone and tasted like stale crumbs speckled with nuts.
I would not recommend the place.

I was hungry as heck this morning and it occurred to me that I had never checked out the place across the street so I took a nice walk over and I am now a fan! There were several selections that caught my eye but settled on the Onolicious Giant Shrimp with rice and scrambled eggs. The shrimp were huge and had lots of garlic with butter. It was a large portion so I had enough for the next day. They also have a section with baked goods which made me smile. I was so tempted to get the passionfruit bar but decided to buy my husband a peanut butter cookie instead. Hope I don't eat it before he does. 😂 This place is my new Friday treat!

We celebrated our grandma’s 99th birthday at Denicas- her favorite place!! Denica and the whole staff came out to greet her and gave us a free dessert and Photo Booth credits to use! It was the highlight of her week! She still talks about it. It meant a lot to our family. Not to mention the food was excellent (always excellent food!). Thank you again to everyone for making her celebration so extra special 💛

Great dining experience. Great baked goods. Love the complimentary chips and salsa. Ordered the breakfast burrito and it was huge. Sea salt choc chip cookie was very good as well. This place is child friendly too, has games for kids to play with while parents eat. Would definitely eat here again.

Delicious! Pricey, but worth it. Would definitely recommend to those that love and miss Hawaiian-inspired food. Being from Hawaii, it was really nice to have ube pancakes and a loco moco, reminds me of home. Had the special lavender sweet matcha latte, absolutely loved it. I think next time when it’s just me and my husband we’ll share a pastry and one breakfast entree because it’s A LOT OF FOOD. But so good!

Delicious food. A bit pricey, but fine for the occasional breakfast / brunch treat. The standouts were the mochiko chicken (and waffles); the chicken was marinated perfectly without being overly sweet and it had a nice crisp exterior.
My daughter had the churro waffles, which we all loved. It definitely tasted like churros without being overly sugary and was drizzled with a delicious caramel sauce and homemade whipped cream. Yum!

I really liked the souffle pancakes. It takes 20 minutes to prepare but it's worth the wait. It was airy, light, fluffy and the sweetness was just right. You'll get 3 souffle pancakes with a scoop of creme and a generous amount of berries.

So you walk in, order, pay and you can sit anywhere you like. The place is clean, spacious, they offer complimentary chips and 3 kind of salsa. The manager checked on us a couple of times if we needed anything. Overall a positive experience. Congrats on the expansion Denica's! Our local hidden gem!

We had a wonderful experience thanks to Rhea! My daughter accidentally ordered the wrong dish, and with a long line behind us, we weren’t sure if anything could be done. But Rhea stepped in right away—she kindly replaced the dish within a minute, no questions asked. Her quick action and kindness truly made my daughter’s day. Excellent customer service and a great reminder that small gestures can make a big difference. Thank you, Rhea!

old diner, limited menu, more buns than breakfast/lunch options. the owner doesn't like, but rather dislikes his employees because the temperature in the place is 83'. two sandwiches, two cokes and a plate of rice with chicken for $75. they could have installed air conditioners a long time ago))
