“Fine dining with reasonable price“

“wonderful owners. good concept.“

“This place is really cool. Parking wasn’t bad, but I came early, there was lots of street parking available. Outdoor seating that is covered, plants outside, indoor seating with long tables as well as bar seating in the window and at the counter. Full bar, great Irish coffee, no Wi-Fi but they have the Oakland Public Wi-Fi available and that worked well for me. Definitely would come back. Music was bangin too.“

“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!“

“Wowzer! What a nice place. Everything is homemade. I wanted to sit outside and the staff person carried a table out to the sidewalk. I ordered an Americano and a blueberry scone. Scones are a great indicator of an excellent baker, and this one was excellent. It was light, moist and full of fresh blueberries; so good in fact that I ordered a meat pie to go so I could have it for lunch. It too was exceptional.“

“I am sipping on Ethiopian spiced chai and munching on a croissant with turkey, egg, cheddar and avacado. This moment is perfect. Perfect taste and temperature. Thank you Jebena Cafe. You just earned a regular. May all black owned business thrive and when that happens, we will truly have earned a celebration of America's independence from its own past.“

“I saw someome make a TikTok about this place and immediately knew I had to add that to my list. I headed out to Berkeley on a Friday morning to try it out and I bought a friend who isnt a big fan of Thai and or Asian food. I was thankful to experience this style of northern Thai cuisine I believe the order Tanzie referred to it as. The hospitality and service was above average. I enjoyed all of my food and so did my friend. The pork jowl was agreed to be are favorite out of the all the dishes we tried. Very juicy , flavorful and just all around deliscious topped off with that crispy fried garlic. The brown rice over that soft scrambled "lava egg" was to die for paired with the savory tomato based minced pork that I ordered extra spicy of course. The star of the show that me and my friend both agreed on had to be the "prik nam pla" which I would describe as a sweet and spicy vinegar or fish sauce based dipping sauce accompanied by a nice punch of spice from the thai chili peppers. I dont have any complaints whatsoever and I will definitely be back.“

“One of our favorite places to grab coffee and a bite! The staff is really friendly and the cafe itself is cozy and comfortable. It's spacious and there's plenty of parking across the street, sound the corner, and they have 15 minute parking out front. Highly recommend the white chocolate mocha and chicken El Fuego sandwich!“

“Absolutely love this place! Incredible atmosphere wonderful place to go with friends or family and the food is fantastic! Highly recommend checking this out if you’re in the neighborhood, there’s not that many places like this left that really give a great family experience!“

“Kudos to the crew at Thornhill Cafe. Thank you for always taking good care of me. I love your green smoothies. They're refreshing and just make you feel good and your breakfast bagels are awesome. It's my favorite place to stop when I'm working in the hills of Oakland. Doesn't seem to matter how many people are in there. You still get us in and out in no time. You're the best!!“

“I have been going to Tay Tah cafe for years. Their Breakfast Energizer smoothie is my go-to lunch meal and my husband loves the Banh Mi sandwiches. We are so lucky to have this wonderful cafe in our neighborhood! The owner and employees are super friendly too!

Vegetarian options: Breakfast Energizer smoothie is delicious and filling.“

“Divine!! This was a celebration of two birthdays and Jeremy took excellent care of us. He explained options, recommended items, was attentive and relaxed and quickly replaced the blinis and creme freche we ran out of. Highly recommend this sweet, exquisite spot.“

“The Best of the Best with the owner making the rating of her shop a 5 star! Yes, Michelle is very kind appreciates all customers walking in to make their order. What's even convenient for many of us who needs distraction as we wait for our order, there is a lotto scratchers machine. If your feeling lucky like I did... spent $30 on 1 scratcher and won $100. True story. I recommend their Avocado smoothie. The best Avocado smoothie in the Bay Area. I don't care and don't wanna hear it. Don't waste your money anywhere else. Go to Tapioca Cafe. Michelle makes the drinks better than her associates behind the register. She just knows how to make it. She's in the Boba game for over 10 years. Her donuts are made in house , not her house but at the shop very early in the morning. She's there all day every day and has the best kindest heart you will get to meet. Very professional, clean store. I could go on but I do have to mention that she is very Humble for a business owner. Mostly she could be seen in the back making sandwiches and washing the dishes and utensils that customers and associates have used. Her associates are just as hard working as she is, which I really don't mind tipping them in the tip jar every time I pay them a visit for my yummy taro smoothie. If you mention to her in question "Who's got the Best of the Best Avocado smoothie?" That's the secret 50% off . It only works at lunch and has to be mentioned before making your order at noon up to 30 mins after that, forget it. You'll get the... are you slow look. Don't take it personal, she gives me that look all the time then she breaks into her natural smile.“

“The mushroom tofu spring rolls are something worth writing about! They're quite flavorful, yummy, and light. It's a perfect on-the-go meal, and such a reasonable price. And the service was great! I'll be back to try their other vegetarian options.“

“The best bahn mi I’ve had in the east bay!!! Fresh veggies, amazing flavor, hella vegetarian options!!! Also loooove the mint matcha. My partner is a big fan of the smoothies, particularly the almond butter one. The staff here are always so welcoming and kind. The vibes are great for a quick bite or to hang out and get some work done. Love this place.“

“Gran Milan is THE place to get the most delicious foods on the planet!!! I recently ordered mini sfogliatelles, cannolis, (3) meter long pizzas n wonder focaccia bread to make sandwiches and their famous olive bread sticks!!! Thanks for the beautiful foods and service!!! I highly recommend Rufo’s place for your next catering! I haven’t seen sfogliatelles outside of NY!!! Love this place!!“

“Good people, good food, easy going place ... what's not to like about it?“

“An elegant, laid back atmosphere and friendly staff. I had the Spanish hot chocolate and a chocolate muffin (can you tell I love chocolate? Haha) which were both rich and delicious. They have free wifi and I worked on my laptop there for a couple hours. I love that they’re open later than most cafes. Seems like a good spot for a chat with someone too!“

“As a huge fans of acai bowl or any smoothie bowls, I really recommend this place. Among smoothie bowl places that i’ve been visited in Bay Area, this place has one of the most aesthetically pleasing bowls. The price is a bit higher compare to other smoothie bowl places, but it is worth it since they offer great variety of topping. The taste and the texture are okay. For me, I have anothe smoothie bowl place that I like more than this place in term of the taste, however, aesthetically-wise this palm-acai cafe is the winner“

“Best breakfast burrito I've ever had.“

“Thank goodness amazing Yellow Door came on the scene in Montclair. Efficient, healthy & delicious are just a few ways to describe this delicious eatery. Kale Chicken Caesar, Miso Chicken Bowl, the Breakfast Sandwich are just a few of our families faves. Don’t miss this local gem!“

“Great spot for a coffee date.“

“love this bodega - my weekly lunch spot! They make great custom sandos (wayyyy better than subway y'all!) and have good premade sandwiches to go too

Vegetarian options: Custom sandwiches

Parking: street parking, paid parking

Kid-friendliness: grass to run around

Wheelchair accessibility: looks accessible (no bathroom)“

“All the people here: Paul, Dave, Mace, Elena, Matt, Joe, Misty, Rosey and Emily are great.

Dietary restrictions: They are willing to make the Southwest Chicken salad the way I like it. I only wish that they could get their decaf machine working☹️“

“Had a delicious mocha here this morning😋😋😋“

“Eunice Gourmet Café is a hidden gem! The coffee was amazing. I tried The Ash sandwich and was completely blown away fresh ingredients, perfect flavors, and honestly one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. I’m more than willing to drive the extra distance just to have it again!

The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. If you’re looking for amazing food and a warm, inviting atmosphere, don’t miss out on Eunice Gourmet Café. Highly recommend!!“

“It is close to Ashby Bart Station. They have all kinds of sweets and drinks too. I like the decorations too.“

“delicious healthy food. Great cozy atmosphere however, the service was a little slow and haphazard. It was on Sunday, which is typically the brunch time of day so I plan on going back during the week when it’s not as busy. Generous portions at affordable price, which is rare for eating out these days.“

“Fui por primera vez y probé los Chicken Waffles muy ricos el sabor es de cocina en casa muy delicioso.“

“Stopped by this place with my family a few days ago and we loved it. Make sure you try their empanadas, they’re delicious! That said, we had a really good time at this place, service was great and the rest of the food was also very tasty. The place is a little hidden but not impossible to find.“

“Been coming here around once a month for about two years. Usually breakfast.

My two favorites are the egg wrap (essentially a breakfast burrito) and the mushroom and goat cheese omelette. The wrap comes with aioli, chutney, and pico de gallo on the side and really up levels the taste. The tortilla is fresh with that perfect chewiness.

Have and will continue to return!“

“My party ordered three distinctly different dishes and they were all great! My chicken croffle was decadent. The bulgogi sandwich and the salmon avocado toast were both healthier choice but delicious nonetheless. It’s a self service place but the ambience is great!“

“The real thing whatever they serve you. And delicious.“

“came here to get a oat milk latte, and it was more open and spacious than I expected very nice even though I was only there for less than 20 minutes. The atmosphere was amazing and plenty of places to plug-in if that’s your type of thing.“

“The espresso drinks here are delicious and very lovingly crafted. Great pastries too. The rose tea was a little too perfume-y for me but everything else I've tried has been high quality. Nice calm atmosphere for working or reading as well.“

“Loved the chai and sweet potatoe hash brown. Next time I’ll try the bean samosa!“

“Lovely people and awesome coffee. My favorite is the Tumeric Late. Living Ketovore, I get it made with half and half, which cuts the carbs way down, and turns it into a meal, practically. Love it!!! ❤☕“

“Best food and gift shop!🤗🤩“

“Very cute cafe with pastries and a hot/cold drink menu. I really enjoyed the genoise and London fog, great on a cold rainy day. The Christmas tree was up and twinkly lights about really made it a perfect cozy cafe to hide in.

Wheelchair accessibility: On the first level, very accessible with wide berth around the counter.“

“Lovely place! I got the strawberry slushie with strawberry popping boba , AMAZING. Best boba ive ever had , and the service was eady , fast , and super friendly! With take out for the boba they also have these amazingly convenient little holders for the cups! Perfect for take out, lovely dine in, the place is nice and lively!“

“Stumbled on this place when working across the street servicing a customer's equipment and needed to grab lunch nearby. Had the best turkey and swiss deli sandwich of my life, not kidding. Now, every time I drive by the place I salivate. Had the chance to stop by there again today, one year later, and the turkey and swiss sandwich was even better! Fresh high quality bread, turkey, swiss cheese, tomato, red onion, lettuce, and some kind of special sauce. Incredibly delicious and a very rare find!“

“I recently discovered how much I love Empanadas within the last few years, so I was really stoked when they opened this location. They used to partner with another bakery next-door to the Y in downtown Oakland, so it was really nice to see this spot close by. The chicken empanadas are always my go to, but the Fugazzeta (cheese and onion ) has grown to be my favorite item on the menu! the staff are very friendly and help you figure out what’s for you if you’ve never been or are undecided on what to get. ( and if you have a sweet tooth, they tend to have Alfajores & sweet Empanadas sale as well! )Only downside is that there isn’t much indoor seating which could be a problem if it’s colder out, but this is minor in my opinion. Definitely worth trying if you want some good authentic Argentinian food.

Vegetarian options: they offer great options for both meat, lovers and vegetarians!“

“What a hidden gem! The BEST gluten free baked goods in the Bay Area (better than Mariposa!). A small kiosk at the back of 3601 Broadway, the old Kaiser bldg, free parking in lot off 38tg and lots of street parking along MacArthur/residential. There’s no indoor seating but a really lovely and large outdoor garden with ample seating. The staff and owner are really special people.“

“Estubo delicioso el almuerzo 💯 recomendado 👌😋😋😋“

“Tasty less fattening food. Good coffee - delish food“

“I live their expert roasts!“

“There were three in my party. We ducked in here to take a break from the cold rain. We ordered a chai, a golden/turmeric chai, and a caffé latté, all with oat milk. It’s our first try of oat milk. We all liked it a lot. The foam on my golden chai was lovely. I’d reorder it anytime. I tried my mate’s latté with oat milk, I can recommend it. The pastries we ordered were all worth the consumption. I’m so glad there was one pretzel cheese bun left. It was delicious even though it wasn’t warm. I highly recommend them. We also ordered a quiche, a chocolate croissant, and an almond pastry. They were all superb. The almond pastry which was super light and flaky tasted like baklava more so than an almond filling. I liked the vibe here. So often I want to grab my order and split, not here. I felt fine taking refuge from the outside environs. The staff were sweet regardless of their spoken English being nearly impossible to understand. It was cool assuming they were part of the refugee program. It felt good being a patron there and the inspired conversation it led to. I am sure my party was surprised I was already knowledgeable about the topic on current refugees. That made our café and conversation time only that much more enjoyable.“

“Music too loud but the Berkeley club sandwich and the horchata latte was delicious. If you are near please come by it's actually clean and very well organized to place your order and the customer service is perfect friendly and don't forget to tip“
