    The Berkeley location.
    Udval D.

    The place was filled with homeless people, it was unsanitary. A homeless guy literally came and sat on our table while we were still eating and the workers just sat and did nothing. We had kids with us, so we asked them please escort the homeless person out but they refused to help. The homesless guy ate our food for about good 10 min, i told them at least replace the food he touched, the workers were so rude and unhelpful, they basically said it was our fault we let him sit down. Unprofessional and unsanitary. Do no recommend this place or at least the Berkeley location.

    Interior

    This is probably the cutest cafe in Berkeley!! The interior is so chic, with beautiful natural light and an outdoor seating area. I ordered an iced coffee and wasn't a huge fan but their acai bowl always hits. The service is decent, the staff is usually warm and friendly.

    Nice people. Slow service. Chocolate croissant tasted stale. The flat white was weak in flavor. Did I mention they are very slow. On the positive they have a nice outdoor space for the extra long wait.

    Matcha latte
    Makena L.

    A solid brunch option! Standard prices. It's pretty crowded on a weekend brunch time. When I went a couple weekends ago, all seating inside was basically taken and most seats outside as well. There's a park nearby if you only have small transportable items. I love the vanilla pastry but they ran out by the time I swooped by. The falafel is so crunchy but soft on the inside (laudatory). I loved the latte art on my matcha latte.

    Iced decaf latte

    Located around the corner from the Main Street. Cafe Reveille was busy not thankfully not packed on Memorial Day. My iced coffee was good but notjing notable. They have a cart with simple syrup and sugar which was helpful to adjust the sweetness. The trash in the bathroom was overflowing, so it could do with a bit more attention.

    This was the burrito once I opened it up, there's not even a lot of beans. not evenly portioned at all

    I ordered a breakfast burrito with only avocado, black beans, & potatoes, when I received my burrito there was no hint of avocado visible in it. They told me it was in there. Most burritos when sliced open you can see all the ingredients on the surface once open but I did not see any green whatsoever. After opening the burrito and getting to the bottom, there was one HALF slice of avocado in the ENTIRE burrito. The eggs were greasy too and the potatoes had zero seasoning. For 15 dollars that's pretty disappointing. I feel like this place has a good vibe and the workers seem nice but it's too pricey and the food was also bland too. I think there are better cafes in the Bay that offer better food for the same price or cheaper.

    Grilled Chicken Sandwich
    Helen N.

    I recently checked out this café and left with mixed feelings. Café Atmosphere: This spot is constantly buzzing with activity, with lines out the door and an impressive array of modern vegan and gluten-free options. The energy is definitely lively--great for those who thrive on movement and productivity. Yet, there's a cozy, nurturing vibe in the comfortable seating, even though you're expected to bus and clean your own table. The self-serve system for utensils and water might feel a bit too hands-off for those craving a more attentive touch. I also noticed that the staff appeared somewhat stressed rather than happy, based on their facial expressions and dimmed down attitude. Cleanliness & Amenities: The restrooms could use a bit more care; they were a bit messy and needed a check for trash removal. However, overall, they're compact, tidy, and get the job done--practical, yet in need of that extra nurturing detail. On a positive note, the café is very dog-friendly, perfect for those who appreciate a little extra warmth and companionship. Outdoor Area: Patio doors opened and left opened, embracing an open-air flow concept. However, a few flies managed to wander in, slightly marring an otherwise inviting setting. With plenty of parking available and a friendly atmosphere, it's a minor hiccup in an otherwise energetic environment. There is a walkway in the patio area with Wisteria plants, which adds to the patio's atmosphere and makes it a great spot for photos. Food Highlights: * Shakshuka: Strong sun-dried tomato flavor, with a sharp acidity that may not suit all tastes. * Grilled Chicken Sandwich: Slightly over-charred but very moist. Served with potato chips, which added a nice crunch. Matcha Lattes: I ordered both an iced and a hot matcha latte, asking for one with honey and one without. Both came out sweet, which felt like a miscommunication on my part. While not overly sugary, the texture was a bit grainy instead of offering the silky smooth experience I'd hoped for. Hours of Operation: Monday-Sunday: 7:30 AM - 4:30 PM Overall, the café offers a wide range of options in a lively setting, though there are areas that could be improved for a more consistent experience but will come back for a second opinion.

    Do you have some amazing, sparkling, flavored beverages. What is the company that makes them?

    How can I call the restaurant ? I left something and I need to know if they have it. They do Not pick up on the phone number listed on the website or on yelp?

    212-966-4100

    Are you reopen for indoor dining?

    Yes!

    Is the quinoa used in the bowls certified gluten-free? I only ask because I'm celiac and extremely sensitive. So, many times there is cross contamination where it's manufactured or in the prep space. Thank you.

The bakery itself seems to mainly be a takeout spot, with minimal indoor seating which felt pretty inconvenient given the limited space for customers, however it did seem to serve more of a purpose as a waiting area anyways. The structure of the bakery leaves a bit to be desired as well, as we found the glass display cases as the only form of menu, so being in the front of the line while still deciding what to order caused some unnecessary anxiety. Regardless of those nitpicks, the baked goods themselves were pretty good! Service was instant, and all of the treats looked delicious--it was hard to choose what we wanted! Our favorites were the Thai Tea and Ube Coconut Mochi Donuts. Both had really strong flavors--the Ube in particular was very clear in comparison to most other Ube desserts in my experience. The textures of the mochi donuts were really well done too, with soft exteriors and chewy, glutinous interiors. The same can be said about the Mochi Muffins, though with crunchier parts around the edges. We found the contrast of textures to actually work really well! However, the flavors of the Muffins were lacking a bit--the Red Velvet didn't stand out much, with the frosting tasting a bit too sweet, and while the Five Spice had a really interesting flavor, it was also a bit too sweet, drowning out the more unique citrusy flavor. Overall, however, all four of the goods we had were enjoyable eats, and would definitely return some time to try out other flavors!

We had been to Tarocco for lunch and figured we would ask them for a quote, too. My daughter warned me that the owner is trying to be an "influencer" on Instagram and posts photos of herself in crop Tops so I should beware, but that's fine by me. We called to get a quote and had a discussion. After we gave the owner all of our information, she told us she wouldn't give us a quote unless we came in person (?!) Which is weird because this isn't how restaurants work. Typically for events restaurants will give you a quote via phone or email for the sake of convenience. We had gotten 3 quotes already from other restaurants via phone. Making us drive 45 mins just to get a quote is a total waste of time. Especially if we can't afford it. So my daughter called again, left a VM explaining we couldn't come in person due to time constraints, and again asked for a quote. No reply. We waited a few days and called again. No reply. Finally we got a voicemail from the owner saying that she didn't like my daughter's attitude ?!!! Apparently you're not allowed to ask this restaurant how much they charge for events unless you're face to face. This lady has absolutely no idea how to run a restaurant. We took our business elsewhere and recommend that you do, too.

My friend who rarely insists on eating at specific places insisted we come, a previous girlfriend was in the food industry and they have this place bookmarked for awhile.

It's also one of those places that makes you want to stay. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and generous. Every time I come here, I tell myself I'll pace myself... and every time I fail because it's just that good. The burgers are loaded and perfectly balanced, the fries are always crisp (never soggy, which is rare), and everything tastes high-quality and made to order. You have to try the chicken and waffles. The waffle batter tastes homemade and the butter takes it to another level... it's one of those dishes you keep thinking about after. I'll even DoorDash it all the way to Jingletown. The patio setup is really well done... there's a mix of larger tables for groups and higher bar-style seating for smaller hangs. The wooden furniture and cushioned benches make it comfortable, and they've got heaters for colder days and umbrellas when it's sunny, so you can usually pick your ideal spot. You order at the window and then just hang out while you wait... it's a relaxed flow and the food comes out pretty quickly.

    Cali Alley is one of those places I have looked at thousands of times when trying to figure out…read morewhat to order on Door Dash or Uber Eats. The food always looked really good, but for whatever reason I always ended up ordering from somewhere else. Well, I finally did it. I finally ordered from Cali Alley, and all I have to say is, why did I wait so darn long? Door Dash was having a 2-for-1 deal on the Cali Alley Burger, so I ordered one of those (and got another for free) , as well as on the small mac and cheese, so I ended up with two of those as well. I got fries as he side for the burgers and saved the second burger and mac and cheese for the next day. I also bought a small side of veggie fried rice for lunch later in the week. OK, let's start with the fries ... wow. Super crispy. Don't know what they do to them, but I think I almost ate all the fries that came with one of the burgers before I even touched the burger. The fries seemed to have a coating like some fries do to make them extra crispy on the outside. Whatever it was, it made them so good, I couldn't stop eating them. I was almost too full for the burger. But who are we kidding? If there is one thing I am good at, it is eating more than I should. The burger, which is described on Door Dash as "char grilled, fresh ground brisket and short rib burger, served on a toasted brioche fun with crisp lettuce, tomato onion marmalade and garlic aioli" was thick and incredibly flavorful. I couldn't stop eating that, either. It was that good. I ordered it medium, and it was pretty pink, but it was sooooooo flavorful, and all the toppings worked well together. I didn't get any cheese on it because I wanted to try to burger by itself and not mask it with cheese. I might try adding cheese next time, but honestly the burger is so good, I almost wouldn't want to cover up its flavor with cheese. Oh, I almost forgot. When you order on Door Dash, you can opt to have them include a small side of their chocolate-chipotle bbq sauce, and I highly recommend that you get it. It's a really interesting flavor and is good for dipping the fries in. I didn't try putting it on the burger, but that might be good, too. The mac and cheese was OK. It's important to note that I enjoyed the flavor but it is more of an eggy consistency than a saucy mac and cheese if that makes sense. It has a nice kick of black pepper, which I liked, though. The vegetarian fried rice was also fine but could have used a little salt. All that to say, don't be like me and procrastinate, get the Cali Alley Burger and fries ASAP.
