Reviews
Breakfast burrito was good, nothing special, very generic/vanilla, but for that, good.
It’s 40% giant potato home fries though..see pic, and that was only in HALF the burrito! Tortilla was gooey and soft, that and the side sauce were the better parts.
Place is a typical local spot, wood furnishings everywhere, nothing fancy, peaceful and sunny in the morning
Service is more of self service with cleaning up after yourself despite the tip culture.
Food is great with variety of pastries and sweets.
Drinks are larger than other coffee shops.
There are some seasonal specialties like cast iron frittata, delicious and worth to come back.
The sauce was fine, vegetables were a little chunky but that’s a style, but the rigatoni was horrendously overcooked. Idk if they just have a batch of par cooked that they messed up, or screwed up mine in particular, but it really was genuinely awful.
If you come here, come for the coffee and pastries, but steer clear of the kitchen. Or at least the pasta.
The inside felt cozy and comfortable, the kind of place you want to get a coffee & a pastry, sit down with a book and waste a few hours. It is going to take time to prepare your drink, longer than the big chains but you can’t rush a good coffee you know.
They had a nice selection of pastries that all looked good but I was here for lunch. I grabbed a menu which had a lot of options available. Pasta, pizza, breakfast foods, sandwiches and panini’s. I ordered a double latte and the turkey and bacon panini. After getting my latte I headed out to the back patio to await my food.
I didn’t need to wait long for the food to come out. It had a nice little salad on the side that I wasn’t expecting, some pickles and some peppers. The panini was excellent, the bread nice and crunchy and just enough of the aioli so that it wasn’t overpowering. The very simple salad made an excellent side for this panini. Just some leafy greens and dressing. The latte was was great, really hit the spot. Overall a very satisfying experience. If I lived in Oakland I might consider making this a regular stop but alas I do not live here.
This avocado breakfast is super greasy. The egg use to be sunny side and almost cooked like it was poached. The bread was overcooked amd the potatoes are no longer the purples, reds, and light brown medley with rosemary seasoning. I also use to have arugula included as a garnish and the presentation use to be so much better. I would have rated them a 4.5 if they still told their chef to prepare it the way they use to.
The customer service was just….blah. The bartender never smiled and didn’t even look people amd make a connection.
