Mama's has been a breakfast institution for decades, and this neighborhood joint balances greasy-spoon ambience with borderline-gourmet seasonal specialty omeletes , scrambles, and pancakes . Read more
I really liked this place. The waitress was great. I think she said that she was from Connecticut. The food service and atmosphere was cool too. Not the typical upscale kinda place.
Delicious corned beef hash ! Mostly veggies in it. Some beef is with fat. Still tasty AF
This was my first here great breakfast spot . My chorizo scramble was very good. Highly recommend
The fruit cups are works of art . Best waffle in the East Bay , and their scratch made biscuits are excellent. Fresh good food made to order.
I've never had anything (mostly breakfast ) here that wasn't good, but today I had the croque Madame and it was delicious!
The croque with egg was awesome, and my girl had the smoked salmon Benedict , she loved it.
Mamas is genuine. Great food. Service is very kind. Kitchen is slow though, we waited one entire hour for benedicts and rancheros .
Really good fried egg and bacon sandwich . Definitely add the arugula .
You can use credit cards now.
Corn beef hash ... Yum. This was my weekly Wednesday morning breakfast spot .
It's all good. Don't miss the homemade biscuits or the salsa and jam at your table!
Super scrumptious breakfast foods . The sausage is awesome and so are their breakfast sandwiches .
They can make your omelets with egg whites and they have sides of chicken apple sausage and turkey sausage for the health conscious.
Everything's good. Super nice staff . Be sure to grab a free coffee while you wait!
The menu is huge as are the portions. I always take my out of town guests here for brunch .
So excellent for everyone, vegans and bacon lovers have lots of options!!
The Challah French Toast is my favorite. Love the hint of orange .

Biscuits and gravy . Add a sausage patty if you're a carnivore!
Croque monseur had too much dijon . Besides that the place is very good.
The home fries are the best I've ever had!

Any egg dish as long as it's smothered in the homemade salsa .

Their hollandaise sauce is excellent!
Biscuits and gravy ! Add a sausage patty !
The turkey sausage tastes like it's not made of turkey which is pretty cool
beverage party: get coffee AND orange juice ! oh and water too.
Specify that you'd like the Acme sourdough . Way better than the default sourdough you'll get otherwise.
They do a Customer Napkin art contest every year. Winners get featured on the wall.
Long waits (sustained by free coffee as you linger) are worth it. But bring cash! They don't accept credit cards.
