The ricotta donuts at Cafe Noir are an absolute standout. Light, fluffy, and fried to perfection, they have that dreamy texture that only ricotta can give. A subtle hit of lemon keeps them bright and balanced, making each bite feel indulgent without being heavy.
They’re served with both chocolate and caramel sauce, but the caramel combo is downright decadent—rich, buttery, and the perfect match for the warm donuts. It’s the kind of dessert you keep thinking about long after the plate is gone.

This spot is my absolute favorite. My family and I tried Cafe Noir again at its new location at the Prescott Market. The vibes and space is a lovely place to share a meal and enjoy a beautiful day. I absolutely love the owner. She is so nice, and down to earth. Before you even try the bomb food, you get this great customer service experience. As far as the food goes, it is upscale deliciousness in a chill setting. I left there satisfied and looking forward to my next meal at Cafe Noir. We had the Grains in Purgatory, shrimp and grits, banana bread French toast and sweet potato pancakes. Every dish was perfect and high quality. Get out and support Cafe Noir!!!!! Your taste buds will be tantalized and satisfied.

If you come to Prescott Market in West Oakland, there’s one spot that beats the rest in both quality and variety. Cafe Noir is such a terrific little bistro if you want a delicious and decadent breakfast/brunch. I’m a sucker for a good breakfast sandwich, and I’m convinced theirs is the best in town.

My mom recommended I try this place while I was visiting from out of town. Unfortunately, my experience with the service really put a damper on things.
I tried making small talk with who I later found out was the owner, but she was very short with me (couldn’t even give a polite chuckle at my jokes) .When it came time to order, after my mom order it came across as dismissive.
When I came back to ask for hot sauce, I was met with more snark. The owner said flatly, “We have a really hot habanero” Not “Do you like spicy stuff? Want to try it?” Nothing just quick response in a way that felt like I was bothering her. Then the chef chimed in, “Be careful what you ask for,” which sounded less like a playful warning and more like they wanted me to regret asking. Neither of them ever said thank you or showed basic hospitality.
The food itself was good, the habanero salsa was flavorful and spicy as expected, and the chicken sausage stood out as especially tasty. But the lack of warmth and courtesy overshadowed it.
As a Black woman, it’s disheartening when another woman of color is dismissive and rude to me, especially when I mentioned I was visiting and trying to support the business. In this economy, every customer counts. A smile, a thank you, or even just a little kindness goes a long way.

Amending this review based on my latest experience. I was excited to bring my mom here and was disappointed by the food quality and service. The whipped cream on my pancakes was completely melted and I received feedback from the server about waiting too long to pick it up. I needed to be fairly assertive to get some fresh whipped cream. The hazelnuts were stale and chewy.
Jaw-dropping sweet potato pancakes. Topped with blueberry compote, toasted hazelnuts and homemade whipped cream. Run, don’t walk to try these! Quick and super friendly service.

The chocolate sauce that came with the Ricotta Donuts is so dark and thick. Not too sweet, with intense cocoa flavors. Unreal.

Fantastic black owned café with flavorful food and friendly service. Recommend the sweet potato pancakes for brunch! We also had the potato hash and the short ribs and grits special—also fabulous

Shrimp and grits are super good and well seasoned. Potato hash and sweet potato pancakes are a must!

Stopped-in to get a coffee at Highwire (which was delicious) and saw a couple noshing on a yummy looking breakfast sandwich, which inspired us to split one, too. It was a sausage egg sandwich that came with savory roast potatoes. The biscuit was light and fluffy, sausage tasty but not too spicy or greasy, egg was perfectly cooked and folded. Highly recommended.
