"I live just around the corner and have visited this diner twice since it opened. Unfortunately, both times I left feeling frustrated and exhausted. While the staff and food are great, the long wait times really detracted from the experience. We were informed that the wait would be around 30 to 40 minutes, and we accepted that. However, after waiting outside for an hour, we were ready to leave when the host came out to take our order, so we decided to stay. After waiting 80 minutes, we finally got to sit down, but then it was another 20 minutes before our food arrived. It's clear that this place is popular, but it seems like they need a better grasp of what they can realistically handle in terms of wait times. We shouldn't have been kept waiting for so long, especially given how long they've been in business and how they should have figured out a more accurate estimate by now. On a positive note, everyone else seemed to be enjoying their Sunday meal. The staff was attentive and even helped out when my son accidentally spilled his drink and broke a glass. I hope we didn't come off as nightmare customers, and I truly hope the staff doesn't take offense."

The waffle, omelet, and hash browns I had were the best I've had in a long time.

I had the mushroom vegetarian sandwich, and it was the best sandwich I've ever tasted. The quality of the bread, which I believe was sourdough, was outstanding.

The wait was worth it. Breakfast came hot and ready. The service was hands down excellent as well as the **** Mary. Oh! I forgot the coffee . I can smell it now. Smooth.

Waffle and a No. 1 breakfast sandwich ish go to, and it’s outstanding. I’ve never had anything bad from here. Cute place, amazing food, service is friendly but not always quick. It does get busy so get there early on the weekends or during down-times. View menu

Lovely brunch at 1pm on a sunday, worth the 40 minute wait. We shared a Chilaquiles verde with house made chorizo and a side of potatoes; both were incredibly flavourful! The lavendar latte was pretty and, though a bit too sweet for my taste, enjoyable. Our server was friendly, attentive, and fast.

Amazing cozy Oakland breakfast spot. Come here for a great sit down breakfast complete with INCREDIBLE food and good vibes. Lots of good plant based options for veggie forward folks too. The line gets long on the weekends and they don?t take reservations, so come prepared to wait a few minutes or go early.

Best breakfast place in Oakland. There’s a plant based breakfast with delicious mushrooms, braised greens, spinach, hash, avocados and it’s just so amazingly done. The biscuits are outstanding and the Shakshouka is superb! Love their orange juice and tumeric tonic strong and a knock out! Definitely will b back! View menu

Just go there—you'll love the food! The service is both friendly and professional. Parking can be a bit tricky, so I recommend visiting during the week to avoid the weekend rush. I really appreciate that the menu changes, and the vanilla bean latte is a definite winner! I've been there several times and will definitely return!

Nice place with a great atmosphere, but the food has wanted something. We were hopeful because waiting for a table was not too bad, but we waited longer for our food than needed to get the table. When our food finally arrived, it was disappointing. Apparently they have big, fresh ingredients, but I found the food to bland and be easy. It is great that they have many vegetarian/vegan options, but that in themselves not for moderate culinary execution and small portions, especially at their price points. Service was also met and miss. Friendly and polite, but not in the refill of our waters and coffees. Waiting is long, not because the masses, but because the food takes so long to get out. I a...
