My teenagers devoured the empanadas and were fighting over the chimichurri (not that they give you a small portion, it was just that delicious) BTW don't worry about getting too much, get the third or fourth empanada per person because despite the empanadas being a very good size, they are absolutely delicious and you will be left wanting more. The mushroom and Nopales empanadas were absolutely divine, the carne picada was to die for. My kids said the Chorizo was super yum as well, and the peach one was chefs kiss!!! The smoothies were so yummy and refreshing, we got the Mango Banana, Strawberries & banana and the Açaí one which was perfect. The service was super friendly, and I will make sure to stop by again next time we are in town.

I'm giving El Tiny Cafe five stars, easy. Yelp brought me here because of the strong ratings, and I…read morehave to say I completely agree with the hype. This spot is in Berkeley and it definitely has a vibe. At first I didn't fully understand the whole "tiny" concept until we ordered and everything clicked. I got one of their burritos and had that moment of thinking, okay... how many of these am I going to need? But nope, that wasn't the case at all. It's not one of those massive, oversized tortillas. It's a real, standard burrito, the kind my Mexican mom would make for me before school. Simple, comforting, and filling in the best way. Because of that, the price point feels very fair. The flavors are what really stood out to me. Everything tastes homemade, like someone's mom's recipe, and that's honestly hard to find. The service was also really nice, super warm, and welcoming. I grabbed a double shot coffee and it absolutely woke me up for the drive back to LA, which was very much needed. There's something about this place that feels hidden and special, not trying too hard, just doing things right. My favorite little moment was when I went to grab a complimentary water cup and saw how tiny it was. I literally laughed and then it hit me. Ohhh. Tiny Cafe. I totally get it now. It's charming, it's intentional, and it works. Highly recommend stopping here for the burritos and the vibe. This place is tiny as hell, in the best way possible.

Bagel Sandwich ($9.95) You can choose your bagel type. I…read morewent with everything. Honestly, the bagel was a bit overcooked so it came out chewier than expected, which made it a little hard to eat. That said, the combo of hashbrown, egg, lettuce, tomato, and sauce worked really well together. Perfect for a light working lunch with a coffee on the side. Might try a different bread next time. Grass Fed Cheeseburger ($13.95) I ordered it medium well, but the patty came out a bit more charred than I'd have liked -- would've been better with a little more attention to the cook. Outside of that, the veggie combo and overall flavor balance were solid. The fries were a generous portion, which was a nice bonus! Overall Vibe Great spot for getting work done, there are outdoor tables too, which gives it a relaxed, open feel. Staff were all friendly, and I noticed the servers wiping down tables regularly, so cleanliness is clearly a priority here. There's even a kids' zone, so I saw a few families with little ones enjoying the space. Really glad to have a place like this near home.I'll definitely be back. Next time I want to try one of their juices!

What a gem of a corner cafe!…read more Can't believe I haven't seen this cafe pop up on my yelp before but so glad I could drop by. This is is a mix between cafe, juicery and restaurant! There's going to be something on the menu for everyone - and the best part is the happy hour menu. There's a variety of seat options and even a kids play zone. Stay to work or stay to chat and eat. Lots of people get takeout as well. We did some work with the free and fast WiFi over a latte. Then when it hit 3pm we could order a $10 margarita pizza for an afternoon pick me up. We ate it so fast I forgot to take a pic!

I…read morehad been to the Berkeley area frequently and wanted to try out this little Cafe iI had always passed. Yesterday presented itself to try it out. It was a small , quaint little cafe and had a neighborhood ambiance feel. It had a display case with Savory and sweet selections of empanadas. I had ordered a Mocha with almond milk and a Chorizo empanada. I also bought a Peach empanada, as well. I had ordered them to go and the staff were very friendly. Mocha was really delicious and the Chorizo empanada was ok. I really liked the Peach empanada, though. Definitely will go and try more of their empanada next time.

The owner…read moreand staff are always super friendly, but exercise good timing or you might find yourself in sizable line during the lunch rush. After popping in for post-gym coffees for over a year, I decided it was finally time to try one of their sandwiches. I was feeling something light that day, so decided to go with their house veggie sandwich. It was packed with all the right veggies, and stayed in tact for the entire time I spent munching, which is a very important part of sandwich consumption. Washed it down with one of the best dirty chai lattes in the area. Safe to say, I will continue to stop here for post-gym coffees, and will definitely be trying some of their other sandwiches in the near future.

Three stars. I want to be fair about this, because a three-star review is the hardest one to write…read more One star is easy -- something went wrong and you want people to know. Five stars is easy -- you're in love and you want to share. Three stars is the vast middle, the territory of the adequate, and adequacy deserves its own honest accounting. The croissant is Sysco. You know the one -- the same laminated, uniformly golden, structurally sound but spiritually hollow croissant that arrives frozen on a truck and emerges from an oven in ten thousand cafés across America. It is not bad. It is not good. It is a croissant-shaped object that fulfills the contractual obligations of being a croissant. The coffee is forgettable in the way that coffee is forgettable when nobody in the building is thinking very hard about coffee. Both are priced at a level that sets your expectations for something premium, and premium is not what arrives. The service is good, genuinely good, and this matters more than it should given the above. Someone is trying here, even if the kitchen isn't reaching. Not everybody swings for the fences. Sometimes you're in Emeryville -- a city that exists in the space between Oakland and Berkeley the way an airport exists between departures and arrivals -- and you need a place to sit and a thing to eat and the place that's right there is the place you go. Ruby's is the place that's right there. Sometimes convenience and adequacy is enough, and knowing the difference between a place that disappoints you and a place that simply is what it is might be the most important skill a regular restaurant-goer can develop. Ruby's is what it is.

We shared the Merguez Sandwich and a Rose Pistachio Turkish Delight. They don't have any indoor seating but have a few tables outside. We waited about 10 minutes for our sandwich. The sandwich was delicious! We got it medium spicy and it was perfect for us. I would have loved it if it had a bit more sauce to it because it was a bit dry but the flavor was great. The turkish delight was so yummy and I thought it was also well priced. I'll happily be back in the future to try more of their foods and pastries! There was also plenty of street parking in the neighborhood.
