Long wait on a Saturday morning, but it's worth it! Had poached eggs on French toast with arugula , wild mushrooms and optional Parma ham , so good! The location is also nice, near Lake Merritt
Great deli salads and top notch sandwiches . Super good ingredients. One of the best outdoor lunch spots for dining near Lake Merritt .
The savory French toast is one of the most amazing dishes I've eaten in a while. Get it! And they sell Crabbies Ginger Beer ( they are also a bodega )
Everything here is so delicious. Definitely start with some donuts and keep going until youve made it through the whole menu. I wholeheartedly recommend the chicken if you're here for dinner .
Just had the savory French toast , and my mind is blown. Definitely not what I was expecting - it is VERY savory with a lot of arugula ! Honestly, I haven't had anything close to it before, it was ????
I had the bellini of the day (peach bellini ) and savory French toast . The entrée is really good - forking over the extra $2-$3 for the prosciutto is worth it!
Great brunch spot . I didn't mind the one hour wait time since the lake was right across the street. Just had a nice scenic walk with my lady and came back with a bigger appetite.
The savory french toast was awesome, though the line certainly got lengthy. Bar seating was the way to go.
Had the savory French toast . Incredible. But if you're not a mushroom person, I wouldn't suggest it. Place is cozy and cute , in a great central location
Ooh, they have Udi's gluten free bread delivered fresh every day! When I buy Udi's at Trader Joe's, it's dry and unpalatable, but, here it tastes like real bread . Also they don't charge extra for it!
I love brunch here! The breakfast sandwich is delicious. But beware: you may have to wait quite a while for a table.
The only vegan option on the menu is The Obama Llama , with avocados which was delicious. Great ambiance.
Love this place. Pork belly hash was delectable. Get a little avocado on the side ;)
Savory French toast was mid. Polenta was amazing.
Everything is delicious, but try the savory French toast for something special
Breakfast sando is very satisfying, mimosas and bellinis , good dinner dishes too.
Their pork belly hash is awesome. There's also this one super cute/nice server there on Saturdays..
The breakfast sandwich is a perfect mix of ham , cheese , avocado and egg .
Sit on the sidewalk and watch the lake . The soft scrambled eggs are buttery and delicious.
French toast . Food looks better than it tastes. Portion sizes are very large.
Hella good Italian sando . Great roll!
Dog friendly . Delicious breakfast . Going back to try the sandwiches !
Great brunch by the lake . The chilaquiles are flavorful and fulfilling.
Savory French toast with prosciutto
The breakfast sando was very delicious. The ciabatta bread was fresh too!

Gumbo Hash , Pastrami on Rye and Tuna Mac
The wait is long but worth it on the weekend. Great coffee .
Udi's gluten free bread available, pork belly hash was delicious.

They have warm fleece blankets to snuggle into while you enjoy your dinner outside.
Savory french toast was delicious!
I waited so long to get in. Got in. The service was average, the menu was bizarre and not what you'd expect for a brunch place . The French toast was average ☹️

Chilaquiles are recommended
Pork Belly Hash . That is all.
The chilaquiles is tasty!
Great chilaquiles !
Do you enjoy waiting 2+ hours for underwhelming food? Then this is the spot for you!
They never care about customers. I waited 1 hour to sit, and 1 hour to eat! Finally I ate some foods but it was not delicious at all!!!
