The best breakfast I've ever had. The homemade blueberry muffin is perfect. Crisp muffin top, and soft melt in your mouth bottom. Fruits were a touch sour, but great for the price.
Super fluffy scrambles and the open faced sandwiches . Wide selection of spicy sauces to customize your meal. You can get a muffin with your scramble. It was too sweet for me, but otherwise very fresh.
If you're trying to decide between sweet and savory, go savory. Any punk can drop sugar on French toast . These guys absolutely nail the more challenging side of breakfast and brunch .
Great corner breakfast joint. Everything you'd expect (including the wait) without pretension. Great hash browns - crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, a delightful rarity in these parts!
Really nice place with a lot of baked dishes. Probably, Monsieur croque is not the best in my life, but it was big and tasty.
The lday at the restaurant is awesome..all breakfast options are amazing
One of the best brunch spots ! Gets super busy though, especially when the famers market is on
Great service. Very friendly staff . The tuna melt is my favorite! I also appreciate that they accommodate my Dad's no sodium diet.
The oatmeal is beyond amazing and arrives in a bowl that's larger than your face.
How this place is rated one of the best breakfast spots in PA boggles the mind. Maybe it was good in 1987, but not so in 2019. Tired, dated and just plain old American breakfast . Meh.
They'll do eggs Florentine as a veggie substitute for eggs Benedict if you ask!
Go for the blueberry pancakes they are delicious
A Solid Cobb salad , kudos on the crumble, bacon , and dressing (I had mine without the egg )
Food was good, although I cannot remember it so not memorable. I think either the bread or the eggs were nice and fluffy, but I'm not sure so get both! :)
Food was great, but I was a little suspicious when our food came out almost immediately after we ordered it. Were the scrambled eggs and pancakes sitting under a warmer? I wonder...
Delicious Brioche French toast !
Great brunch place . I love the omelettes !
Recommend the French onion soup . Onions just melt in your mouth!
The Carmel brioche French toast is really good.
Excellent food. Attentive staff . It gets a bit busy, but worth the wait.
Great little brunch place on CalAve. The salmon salad was surprisingly good.
Hashbrowns are flavorful on the inside and crispy on the outside, I don't know the secret, but it works nicely.
The omelettes are to die for, especially the Combination Omelette .
Try the Crêpe Bretonne - Excited to try another great neighborhood spot . Delicious brunch !
The oatmeal is great.
The salmon crepe is divine! I also enjoy the crepe Bretonne is wonderful with melted brie on top!
It's all wonderful! The whole grain french toast with berries is fabulous!
ABSOLUTE BEST BREAKFAST IVE EVER HAD IN THE BAY
Super popular for weekend brunch - good portions
French toasts with banana and strawberry , simply amazing!
Excellent crepes , excellent breakfast in general.
Come here for breakfast ! The portion sizes are huge though.
The Crepe Bretonne is all kinds of amazing. Chicken apple sausage , scrambled eggs , onions , mushrooms , brie cheese .
Huge portions , worth the wait
They have delicious omlettes on the menu.
Loved the combination omelet
Florentine Benedict sucked; hollandaise sauce was the worst I have tasted and the English muffin was soaked in bad butter. House fries are very good!
The duck confit sandwich has a VERY generous amount of duck meat . Good value !
favorite restaurant in the bay area! try the Mexican scramble
Spinach mushroom onion and cheese scramble FTW. No longer on the menu, but worth asking for.
Banana bran muffin here is one of the best I've had. Not too filling too
Great food, service, and environment!
Delicious breakfasts
Espresso drinks are mediocre, but breakfast is on point.
This is a good place to have drink.
Great people, good food!
Hash browns and eggs are perfect.
Awesome omelets here. Split a pancake with your group for dessert .
Quick and efficient service
Eggs Benedict made me melt. Must try.
