"A friend and I were planning to visit Oakland Cemetery (just across Memorial Drive from the café for a scavenger hunt. We opted to meet here beforehand for lunch. We had planned to park in the cemetery's parking lot, but there was some road race which restricted access to the north side of Memorial Drive. Hence, we ended up parking on street a block south and a few blocks over from the café. The market itself has a small lot, but it seemed mostly geared towards market patrons. I *assume* you could park there while you grabbed a meal at the café also. The lot seemed to fill up quickly, though. We met there at around 11:20 a.m. on a Sunday. you enter the market from the side doors (i.e., not those facing Memorial Drive . To your left is the café area. A line forms to order at a counter. There are menus available in a basket for you to peruse while in line. It was at this point that we discovered that breakfast was still in progress. Lunch didn't begin until noon. We opted to do the first zone of our scavenger hunt and return. We got back just after noon. Ordering was quick, though we somehow did not end up with a little metal table tag. One of the entrees arrived fairly quickly but mine seemed to take longer for some reason. They managed to find us even without our table displayed. The staff seemed friendly enough. I had ordered a BLT and a side of fries. The volume of fries was larger than I expected, actually, but they were good. The BLT was fine. I found the bread a bit odd it was not dark but tasted a bit of rye. To me, that wouldn't be the standard first choice for BLT bread, but it wasn't bad. I don't think I underwent a full conversion to being a BLT on rye guy, though. At the end, you bus your table and drop off plastic trays over at a station near the drink machine. Prices were fair. Overall, this is a good option if you aren't looking for a particularly heavy meal (as you might get in some of the other restaurants facing Oakland . I'd consider a follow up visit."
