Always a great experience. The service and the quality of food
We went for a breakfast and we were pleasantly surprised by the brunch selection. The place definitely has a strong french influence, although the dishes don't follow a strict french tradition but they are excellent. The orders came with a fresh and welcome fruit salad. The coffee was great as they have a good espresso machine. Would come back!
It was one of the best simple breakfasts I've had in a long time. The hash browns crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, the eggs were perfect, and the toast was from a local bakery. They also have a senior menu and vegan items as well. I have been back a second time now. The coffee is good …
Great vegan options (including breakfast) and excellent service. Choice of Beyond or Impossible sausage. Strong coffee. Also, I have enjoyed their vegan pancake platters, vegan Reuben, and Fried Corn Tortillas. A bit pricey, but these days what restaurant isn't? We come here every time we are in the area.
Great service, generous portions, delicious and fresh food! We told them we’re splitting one of the dishes and they separated it for us. I loved that! We’ll be back!

I highly recommend this dish. Customer service was fantastic. There was no wait at all when ordering our food and receiving our coffee. The staff frequently checked in to refill our coffee, …

We always look forward to coming here because the experience is consistently enjoyable. The seasonal fruit is fresh, full of natural taste, and beautifully presented.

Whenever we are in the neighborhood, this is one place we make time …
We found them on the PBS Bay area show called Check Please. We tried their pancakes, chicken fried steak with gravy, and Alameda root beer soda. Pancake was soft and had a birthday cake flavor; bacon was cooked to perfection; hashbrown was good. The chicken fried steak was good and came with a side of eggs, toast of choice, and …
