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
My fritata was cold and gross. This place has been going downhill for years and that was the last time. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1 Service: Dine in Price per person: $20–30
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. The frittata might have been the best I've ever had. Packed with flavor to the point where I was surprised there was no meat! My wife loved her sandwich and my chai latte was excellent. Amazing option for a nice Saturday morning breakfast.
This fantastic brunch spot in Berkeley takes me back to Cafe Fanny (which is now closed). It seems to be run by people who have experience from there. The shared table setup is quite nice, and I had no trouble finding a seat on a Saturday morning.
