This restaurant has two sections, one for the restaurant and one for the bar. Small menu for the breakfast sandwiches, but you can't go wrong. The buns are sweet and delicious. Highly recommend for a quick sit down breakfast or on the go breakfast. Would be interested to check out this place for a drink in the evening.

An interesting small slice of breakfast. on the back of a bar you will find a few very good breakfast sandwiches and bites. if they need breakfast in the opposite, it is a solid location.

Best burger I tried in berkeley. for meat lovers, but of? happy kisses?! and at a very reasonable price for berkeley. bonsu, the owner and chef, seems very passionate about her project!

Absolutely amazing! I had the smoked breakfast sandwich and sweetness speck with it. I think it's called ice now. I don't know if I'll ever be able to eat a hash brown non-speak again and again. cracked is #crack. the owner, buna, was very courteous and personal! make them please and get a few of this A$AP!

Best breakfast sandwich in the East Bay. I have only tried the spam w/nori and I keep meaning to try another but the spam option always lures me back. [Edit 1-12-2020] I have now tried the corned beef breakfast sandwich and it affirms my originalclaim. Best breakfast sandwich in the East Bay! This time I really noticed the quality of the roll. It tasted like a homemadeParkerhouse style roll, fluffy and sweet. A perfect complement to the runny yolk of the egg.

Nestled in the heart of Temescal, this pop-up breakfast spot has gained acclaim for its mouthwatering sandwiches and vibrant atmosphere. Diners rave about the breakfast offerings, particularly the corned beef and spam sandwiches, praised for their fluffy rolls and runny yolks. While the food is consistently delicious and reasonably priced, patrons have experienced wait times that can stretch to an hour, mainly due to prioritizing takeout orders over dine-in guests. Despite occasional cleanliness concerns typical of a bar setting, the unique menu and passionate ownership make this a must-visit destination for breakfast lovers in the East Bay.

Just came in after seeing they made the 7x7 top 100 Oakland bites article. They're moving on Sunday to Blackwater Station. Get in there before the lines get crazy!

Damn fine sandwich. Really really good, corned beef and bacon on a soft Filipino roll with Ann oozy egg. Really really good.

The best breakfast sandwiches and now amazing platters too if you’re doing the low carb thing. Quick, fresh and very affordable! Can’t recommend this enough. Just watch out for the soft yolk!

Best burger I tried in berkeley. for meat lovers, but of “happy cows”! and at a very reasonable price for berkeley. bonsu, the owner and chef, seems very passionate about her project!

This restaurant offers two separate areas - one for dining and one for the bar. The breakfast sandwich menu is limited but delicious, with sweet and tasty rolls. Highly recommended for a quick breakfast or brunch. I would also be interested in visiting for drinks in the evening.

This pop-up is great for a trendy breakfast sandwich. Our food tasted great and was not too expensive. Get a coffee at the main bar while you wait! Only reason for not giving a 5 star rating was that it took an hour to get our food. Apparently they ran out of some ingredients and had to go get more. An hour wait is a bit much for 2 egg sandwiches. I think they need to re-prioritize and give folks sitting in the restaurant 1st instead of filling all the to-go orders. Watched at least a dozen to-go's go out while waiting for ours. Also, please let folks know if you run out of something or that it will take 2-3x as long.

Deduction of stars are based on these guidelines: Wait time: how long did it take staff to acknowledge? Food taste: good or no? Cleanliness: sticky tables? Dishes? Service behavior: Attentiveness, tack = Wait time: Terrible! Were they waiting for a hen to lay the eggs? While we were able to place an order almost immediately, we had to wait 36 minutes for food in a nearly empty restaurant. There were only 3 couples there before us, and 15 minutes in one of the couples there before us were just now being served. Hangry is unfortunately a real phenomena, so a star was knocked off because of this. Food: fantastic! The eggs were nice and runny, food was served exceptionally hot. Cornbeef sandwich and ham sandwich were lit. Also the French toast bites were great with the syrup not too overly sweet. Cleanliness: it was alright, the restaurant is located in a bar so about as clean as you would expect a dive bar to be. Service: unfortunately since the wait time was awful, I would knock a star off for since staff would not check up on the 4 tables there. Overall 3 out of 5 , while good I'm not sure I would go again.
