My favorite sandwich is the Veggie Delight! Paul, Carlos (aka Chef), and staff are always happy! Sarah is a delight always smiling brightly. I stop in for lunch several times a week. The tuna sandwich and BLT are both excellent. The breakfast burrito or the breakfast sandwich will start your day off right. read more

Nice little quaint neighborhood spot. Good for a quick bite to eat. Breakfast or sandwich. Decent pricing. Within walking distance to local shops. Absolutely no parking spots unless you use the lot at Farmer Joes or CVS. There appears to be no staff other than the owner and the cook and they greeted most customers by first name while I was there. O had breakfast when I was there. I might go back and try one of their sandwiches. I think most of their business is "to go". read more

Came here after I read high reviews & got a breakfast burrito w/the works w/sausage & bacon. The burrito can feed 2 people that's how big it is. The burrito is good but a little to salty. read more

I have heard about this spots great breakfast burritos and I was finally in the area at the right time to try one! I ordered 2 chorizo burritos. The burritos were big and the salsa was flavorful. It was surprising to have the big chucks of bell peppers and other vegetable in my burrito. read more

Such an unassuming place! But the food is delicious, and the portions are so generous. I have the breakfast burrito with bacon. It was loaded with veggies and bacon. Probably one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had! read more

This area continues to surprise me with great food and its resilience. We were in the area, picking up specialty donuts from Donut Savant, another gem in the area, and realized that we hadn't had breakfast yet. We found the positive review on Yelp and decided to give them a try. On our way into the restaurant, we ran into an exiting customer who claimed that this place had one of the best breakfast burritos around, and he did not lie. The burrito had a great taste and included all the regular breakfast burrito ingredients, along with one new and different item: zucchini, that's probably what gave it an extra something. I hear they serve great sandwiches as well. I would love to return for lunch. BB read more

The food and services are always excellent the price is great as well I especially love the breakfast

This was my first time to eat at the Dimond Cafe and I will certainly be back. We ate inside; the ambiance is a bit dark, but is made pleasant by the courteous and charming people who work here. My friend and I each had a sandwich, it was lunch time, and they were absolutely yummy, stuffed with goodies, lots of veg, delicious dressing. We didn't know that this place is known as a good breakfast place. Apparently their breakfast burritos are terrific. I can hardly wait to taste the breakfast burrito; then I may return for lunch! read more

Delicious food, quiet low key environment, and extremely friendly staff! My friend and I got a burger and an omelet and we were very pleased with our experience. Highly recommend read more

Popped in to try a new place on a weekday morning. Staff was great, food was delicious, and would definitely go back. More of a take out vibe but we did sit in (a few small tables). We had loaded potatoes and the bacon was bomb, with the homemade salsa and sour cream. read more

Just updating to say I still love the food here. I come in once or twice a month to get breakfast burritos and they are always delicious. Definitely my sons favorite. Online ordering is very simple, but so is ordering in person. The service is excellent, every person I've interacted with is just super sweet and friendly. The food is fantastic. It's always nice to start out the day with good food, but the friendly service makes it even better. read more

Horrible. I wish I could give it MINUS 5 stars. The hash browns were loaded - I mean extra loaded - with black pepper and some other unidentifiable seasoning. They tasted horrible. I was unable to eat 75% of my breakfast. read more

I ordered food for delivery the first time having their food. It was great! And the bag had a nice note on it for me. So my son and I tried it recently and we arrived kind of late - towards closing. Again, the food was great! The service was even better. I so appreciate a kind and patient customer service experience. I don't know if the gentleman who assisted us was the owner or what but he was so kind and pleasant! The restaurant is small inside but clean and plays good music. Parking was easy. I'm looking forward to returning. Treat yourself to a delicious breakfast here. read more

The Dimond Cafe is small cafe in Oakland's Dimond District, near Fruitvale x MacArthur Blvd. I used to work in the Dimond District a longtime ago, and I sometime come back to checkout any food places. The other day I preordered some sandwiches at Dimond cafe to take to work. I ordered a Pastrami sandwich and a Breakfast Croissant with Sausage. This is a nice cafe. Good sandwiches at a fair price. In fact, when I picked up my food, I thought I got someone else's order. The croissant sandwich was huge! It was delicious, with a good amount of egg and sausage. I like Pastrami, and the pastrami sandwich had a good amount of meat and condiments. Let's see, it had pastrami, onions, pickles, tomatoes, melted Swiss cheese and mustard on toasted sourdough. Then put together by a skilled sandwich maker.....you got a good sandwich! read more

This place was recommended by a buddy of mine and my breakfast sandwich was so gooood! Service was fast and the chef personally came out to give us our food and to make sure we were good and happy. The ambiance is really chill but the restaurant is located on Fruitvale ave in Oakland, so street parking can be tough during a busier time of the day. Now to the food.. I ordered a breakfast sandwich with bacon and wheat toast. The bacon was chopped into bite sized pieces and cooked with the scrambled eggs so I had a bit of bacon in every bite (which I loved). The toast and cheese were cooked perfectly with just enough crunch and ooze without burning or overpowering the sandwich. Highly recommend if you're in the area and want to try a local spot! read more

This was an accidental find and we are so glad we stopped in for breakfast. We split a breakfast burrito. It was so good I ate almost all of it before I remembered to take a picture! Much prettier when it first came out. A humble yet warm and welcoming diner with a bit of a 70's retro vibe. Such nice people! read more

This breakfast burrito was the healing medicine i needed after working a 12 hour nighht shift. The ingredients taste fresh and it filled me up. I don't know what their salsa is made of, but it's good. Its unique peppery-flavor is so intriguing. The service is great here. You can tell the front cashier was happy to work and had a great attitude. The chai latte was delicious. Thank you so much! It is a tiny cafe that has tables to dine-in and benches to wait for your food. i would definitely back again. read more

I went to Dimond Cafe this morning after getting my nails done across the street. I order a croissant sausage sandwich. It took him about 15 minutes to prepare it. I wasn't in a rush but it's seemed a bit long for him to make a croissant sandwich. It wasn't until I got home that I realized that it took so long because they put LOVE in it! lol! No seriously, the sandwich was heavy and hearty and it was the best breakfast I've had all year. It made my day!!! read more

Came here for lunch with my colleagues for work. I was pleasantly surprised with the hospitality and service that this cafe has! The Chicken Cesar was terrific! Chicken was so flavorful and seasoned to perfection. Lettuce was fresh and crisp. The croutons were extra large and sweet, possibly made out of their croissants? Whatever it was i LOVED it! I definitely recommend this place for lunch if u r in the area. All the personnel are beyond friendly! Smiles all around! read more

Excellent food and very affordable as well! There are so few local diner spots like this one left in East Oakland

This place is a neighborhood institution. They've been serving delicious, simple food for two generations in the Dimond. Fast, friendly and delicious. read more

Small dining area, but with good energy and a big menu. We got the loaded potatoes and the veggie wrap. The veggie wrap was well seasoned and very filling. The potatoes were cooked well and the salsa was delicious. Generous portions. The cashier was busy but service still came with a smile. You could tell they are involved in their community as many locals came in while we were dining. read more

Honestly so disappointed this morning. It's our wedding anniversary and we ordered breakfast. We ordered the French toast plate with turkey bacon and over medium eggs. We also ordered scrambled eggs with bacon . 1. The photos we saw on your website and door dash has the potatoes skinless. The potatoes were cut into huge cubes with the skin on. Who's photos did y'all steal? 2. The eggs were over cooked 3. The turkey bacon is plastic and hard like it was sole of my shoe 4. The food was completely tasteless. No salt no pepper 5. The only saving grace was the bacon and French toast. I don't know how you mess up break fast but you did. At the end of the day , where is your quality control? I want my money back. read more

Dimond Cafe - Over cooked eggs and potatoes - Burgers Near Me - Oakland, California

Never had a bad meal here. It's been a staple in the Dimond for a long time. I usually stick with breakfast items and have had it delivered multiple times. Omelets, breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos are all solid and are very filling. I've also had some of their burgers and salads and never been disappointed. One of my favorites is the tuna salad, big scoops of tuna salad on top of fresh greens and a tangy balsamic vinaigrette. read more

Got off the 580 FWY looking for breakfast this place popped up with 4 stars - best idea of the day LOL Got a great home cooked breakfast, huge portions, fluffy eggs, amazing fried potatoes, hubby LOVED his hash-browns, said his OJ tasted fresh-squeezed! We were greeted like family and our plates came out quickly/ hot and tasty - This spot does a bang up pickup biz but still managed to serve us quickly - top notch! Give it a try - take the Fruitvale exit and head north a couple blocks - past the grocery store - parking is easy, too. Thanks, gentlemen, for making the start of our day delicious and cheerful! read more

My boyfriend just dropped off a vegan breakfast burrito from Dimond Cafe. As a vegan, I'm always looking for a really tasty burrito with more than just shredded lettuce and Pico de Gallo. This is now one of 2 of my favorite places for a burrito. It was loaded with veggies like peppers, spinach, zucchini and more and avocado instead of guac, which I really appreciate for the texture it adds and perfectly cooked potatoes. The salsa it came with was authentically Mexican - perfectly spicy and full of deep flavor. Way to go Dimond Cafe! I gobbled up that giant burrito! :)) read more

Oh my French Toast! Woooooooo this little big spot is Aaaaamazing. Staff friendly and attentive. Now let's mention that this place can be easily overlooked just because of size. Looks like not much to rave about. WRONG. GET OVER HERE! Food was so delicious, flavor just beautifully put together for simple dishes that can be ordered at any diner. Nope bacon was perfect thick cut, crispy, and let's me tell you the Smokey flavor oooooh weeeeee. Full belly read more
