Was Anonym at Standard Fare a mag?
Even though I'm out of town, I always make it a point to stop here whenever I'm in Berkeley. Everything is delicious! I had brunch, and the ricotta toast was simply divine.

Quality, fresh, nutritious, energizing food that feeds my soul and body! It can be challenging to find organic clean food that introduces new flavors- dedication and execution is so appreciated! ??Food: 5/5

This place is great! Went for breakfast and everything was excellent. I had the veggie frittata and a chai latte. My wife had the buttermilk biscuit sandwich.

Amazing option for a nice Saturday morning breakfast.

I got salmonella food poisoning from a salad eaten at this establishment. Worst night of my life. I have been in contact with the health department so no one else suffers that same fate. Nice patio though. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2 Service: Dine in Price per person: $20–30
