Not much on ambience but one we'll return to again especially when we're in downtown Berkeley.

Love the food. Indoors has only a few tables and loud acoustics. Best when weather permits dining on lovely patio next to Berkeley's main library. read more Love the food.

I'm going back to the finals.

Service was really friendly, and the atmosphere was casual. Will definitely coem back for a quick pre-theater dinner again. It's not really obvious from the street, so they might not get enough walk-by business, but look for it and you won't regret it.

Cappuccino small and disappointing but what I really objected to was having a reservation and then having to wait in a long line to order food. There is no host or hostess. What’s the point of making a reservation and then waiting in line with everyone who just shows up. They need to either honor reservations or take themselves off Open Table.

The Croque madame was verging on burnt. The egg on top was lovely, but the rest of the sandwich was dry and inedible. The wait staff was very sweet, very efficient. Too bad the cooks couldn 't match their proficiency. I will try them again, and maybe just stick to the baked goods.

It was a good, authentic dinner. I plan to return.

We were not disappointed as the crepe we ordered was incredibly delicious. She devoured the entire thing and raved about it for the rest of the day. I tried the Pain Perdu and it was also very tasty. The staff was very friendly, the atmosphere was clean, and they offered free Wifi.

Yum. Good buckwheat galettes and a very nice patio to enjoy the nice weather. The staff were kind and helpful. I will return! read more Yum. Good buckwheat galettes and a very nice patio to enjoy the nice weather. The staff were kind and helpful. I will return!

A bit more seasoning and toast on the side would have made it even better, and the eggs could have been more flavorful, but overall it was still very good. The RoastCo coffee for only $2.25 was delicious and served in large Heath Ceramic cups. The chocolate croissant was a bit lacking in chocolate, but understandable since it was a half-price day-old pastry for $1.50. I also tried a small mini-muffin with canned apple for $2, and a happy hour beer Boont amber ale in a can for $4. I spent the whole day there and even went back for their breakfast sandwich on big aceme bread, and their pain aux raisins was one of the best I've had, up there with Bouchon! I also give them 4 out of 5 Green Stars for their social and ecological efforts, such as using minimal waste by serving everything in ceramic or metal, offering compostable To-Go cups and lids, and sourcing from designated suppliers like organic bread from Acme and bacon from Niman Ranch. The coffee is from RoastCo in Oakland, which sources shade-grown organic coffee from cooperatives. I do have some suggestions for improvement though. It would be great if the eggs were pasture-raised for more flavor since they are a large part of the menu. It would also be nice to see beer served on tap instead of in cans. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible with a gate at the seating area and close to public transportation.

It's conveniently located just a block away from BHS and the library, at the corner of a complex building with a back door that connects to a garage. The cafe has a modern look with a hint of French flair in its menu offerings. With an eight-person counter and a few scattered tables with wood accents, it's a cozy spot to enjoy sweet and savory crepes, beer, wine, and coffee from Roast Co in Oakland. Fresh pastries, though limited in availability, are baked on-site. Free Wi-Fi and a shared restroom are also available. Bon appetit!
