The Benedicts were amazing! I slightly preferred the crab cake Benedict over the smoked salmon. The English muffin held up well under the hollandaise and never got soggy. The hash browns were packed with flavor. They weren't the crispiest, but the fine shred meant the seasoning coated every bite. The corned beef was incredibly moist, and the brioche toast with cinnamon butter was easily the star of the meal. The outdoor patio made for a really relaxing brunch. The tables were spaced far enough apart that we could enjoy our conversation without feeling like we were part of the next table's. The jazz music playing in the background added a nice touch without being so loud that we had to talk over it. The staff was attentive throughout the meal, checking in often enough that we always had what we needed without ever feeling interrupted. read more

Doyle Street Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Emeryville, California

Came here with with my friend for a late brunch after coming back from Bay to Breakers via the Emeryville Park and Ride shuttle and this was a short walk away and just what we wanted after running 9 miles! I ordered the Home Fries Heaven, and as someone who likes potatoes, specifically fried potatoes, this was indeed heaven. It's basically a scramble but with thin sliced home fries. Never seen that anywhere else so had to try it! My friend and I also split the blue corn pancakes. Probably should have gotten the traditional conventional pancakes (I always like to order something sweet for the table to share) but hey at least we tried it and it was different, just not what we were looking for in the moment. Service was quick and efficient even though we went close to closing time and tables were mostly full. Bathrooms are a little different than most places, stalls are separated by gender but then sinks are out in the open for all. Hope to come back after next year's Bay to Breakers! read more

This place is like the perfect upscale diner. The food was fantastic - the perfect crispy hash browns, fresh squeezed OJ, nothing too greasy but still felt a lil indulgent The service was also great. Friendly, quick, and relaxed. This is my new favorite spot. The price point was affordable for something that felt just a little special. Oh, and the front patio was dog friendly! Can't wait to come back read more

The Vegetarian (eggless): really liked it. There was enough oil and cheese to satisfy my stomach, though the cheese quantity might be lighter than desired for many others. Tuna melt was good. Sister liked it more than my veggies. Good enough to continue exploring the menu. read more

This is definitely a spot I come to pretty often for brunch. My group always gets the pancakes for the table, and they are hands down some of the best ever--the flavor is just a total standout. The California Benedict is also the best crab Benedict I've tried, and the Del Mar crepe is another favorite. Plus, the service here is amazing as well. Highly recommend! read more

LOVE going to this little place. Parking can be full, especially on a weekend, but, once you're able to sit down and enjoy the service, food, and company you're with - you won't regret going here. HIGHLY recommend the Chai or Matcha to start AND to take out. I always order the Make it a Combo plate - French Toast and Bacon - and it's usually too much for me, but it's SO good. We also ordered Crab Cake and that was also delicious! DEFINITELY dip it in the sauce provided. Our waitress was lovely and bathrooms are clean. You just can't go wrong here. read more

Ok this place rules, TLDR awesome yummy well-priced food and great service. Super cute spot with inside and outside seating. There's a tablet where you can add yourself to the waitlist but we were seated very quickly even though it was busy. Salmon scramble was soooo good so much salmon! Corn muffin was super yummy and sweet and my boyfriend especially loved the way they did their country potatoes. Huevos rancheros was also awesome, great handmade beans. Had to get the French toast, also incredibly awesome it came w a sugary butter that was a must-use. Waitress was super kind and the food came fast. No notes! read more

Probably my new favorite spot for fluffy buttermilk pancakes! I added bananas to mine and it was absolutely to die for. I also ordered a side of chicken apple sausage and an OJ -- everything hit the spot. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating with plenty of space, which I really appreciated. Service was standard, and there's convenient off-street parking. Definitely coming back for those pancakes! read more

I have been coming to Doyle's for years. I am surprised I have not left a review before. I love coming here. They have their own parking lot across the street, which makes parking easy. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff is super friendly. They play soft music in the background for a pleasant experience. I also really like their daily specials. This gives you more options outside of the standard menu. It is always a great experience here. read more

We were a party of 4 at 11 on a sunny Saturday. We waited 12 minutes for an outdoor table. Amazing. Short wait. The food. I mean. We had a little sweet. A little least. A little savory. All was delicious. The people watching was great, such a happy diverse group of patrons. The prices were very reasonable. 10/10 read more

Wonderful place for brunch! It's not very often I'm amazed by brunch since 90% of places taste the same with the typical default options, but this had some unique takes. Quite a small menu which in some ways is a good thing. I definitely struggled with choosing what to have for brunch. The greatest thing about this place is the potatoes. Thinly sliced, crispy, seasoned. I'll be dreaming about these potatoes the next time I have hash browns. Corned beef hash was hefty. Perfectly poached eggs, solid cornbread. Hollandaise in the benny had great color and flavor, darker than the usual hollandaise I see. Pesto crepe was crazy, never seen before in brunch. Lots of chicken and sauce. All of the meals were hearty and these potatoes were truly out of this world. read more

Doyle Street Cafe - crab cakes, french toast, poached eggs benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Emeryville, California

The Doyle St., Café. It's in the industrial area of Emeryville. On a busy Sunday at brunch time you'll have to park about a block away. The area is safe and it's a little hidden. The prices here are high. The selection of foods is ample, and includes delicious sandwiches and hamburgers . On the weekend this place gets very hectic. It's not uncommon to have to put your name on the waitlist and hang out out front for 10 to 20 minutes. The waiters here are decent but appear to be covering a lot of tables so they are a bit hurried. Last time I went here I waited quite a long time for a refill on my iced tea. It finally came with the check, which was too late. read more

The eggs benedict was perfectly poached and the hollandaise sauce tasted amazing. I love spending my weekend mornings at this cozy spot.

The waitlist is a fiction and they lie about it. It's always "15 minutes" when it's clearly not.

Great service. Great Al fresco dining. The parking can be a challenge. I had the veggie omelet, potatoes, toast and a vanilla latte. Everything was delicious. And the portions are pretty big- you might have a to go box. Definitely going again. read more

Huge portion sizes that are worth the price I think. The farmers omelette is my favorite. The weekends are very crowded for brunch, but weekdays are pretty mellow read more

DELICIOUS! Came here on a Monday morning with my sister to grab breakfast. We were seated right away by friendly staff. Their kitchen was able to accommodate adding black beans to my omelette which was delicious. The cornbread was yummy too, a little dry but a good cinnamon, nutmeg flavor. My sister got the blue corn pancakes and she enjoyed them. She said they yummy and a little gritty (as to be expected). Their portions are pretty big, too, so come with an appetite. Overall, our breakfast experience was enjoyable and I would come back. read more

TLDR: low-key racist. I went here on 6/10/26 with two of my teacher coworkers. At first, it was just me and one colleague, an African American woman, and the manager took our drink order. A few minutes later, another colleague, an African American man, joined us. The waitress then came out and took the order of a table that had been seated after us. We kindly let her know we were ready to order, and she said okay; then proceeded to help not one, not two, but THREE other tables (all white customers) before coming back to us. By the time she finally returned, we had been seated for 45 minutes and had already finished our drinks. We asked for the check and left, heading down the street to Rudy's, where we were treated with dignity and respect. The whole situation felt terribly awkward, and it was hard to ignore the low-key racism. What makes it even more disappointing is that the drinks were genuinely delicious, and we had been looking forward to celebrating. read more

First time stopping here since moving to the neighborhood in December, and I wish we had sooner. We stopped in for a post gym brunch, and despite how busy they were, my wife and I were able to sit immediately. Coffee was hot, fresh, and delicious. I got the chicken chorizo scramble, which I was delighted to find that it was thin sliced links vs ground chorizo. The breakfast potatoes are also great, and their cornbread seems like a hybrid with banana bread. Wife got the farmers omelet, which was also great, and the holandaise that accompanied it may have been the best I've ever had. Safe to say, we may just be regulars moving forward. read more

What a solid breakfast/lunch! And filling too! I thoroughly enjoyed my omelette with the addition of the chicken chorizo and the peppers & onions. It was hearty and I absolutely loved my potatoes. Something about the thin combo of soft and crispy bits, I was in heaven. My Americano was pulled perfectly - not a hit of sour but balanced and strong. My partner's meal was the huevos rancheros and low key was jealous of that because those beans were cooked perfectly. My only critiques are that the English muffin had a slightly papery exterior (but it was delicious and I'm splitting hairs here) and may e I would have liked our crab cakes (not pictured) to be slightly larger. But I loved the flavor! Service was attentive and friendly. The staff is constantly buzzing around, running food, checking on guests. I didn't feel like we had to wait for service which is amazing. I'm coming back for sure because there are a ton of things I want to try!!! read more

Our server was friendly and the food was excellent we had the Aztec Benedict and it was filling and perfectly prepared. 5* Upon arriving we were a party of 3 and were greeted by the host "London or Landon" and we advised that the other two were parking and coming now. He asked us to wait aside j til the entire party arrived. Immediately after this, another lady arrived and told him the same thing and he sat them Down even with an incomplete party. We advised him that his treatment was discriminatory and he shrugged it off. Luckily we were told by a wait staff member that today was his last day. But it is unacceptable behavior. 1* read more

[Ambiance] - Beautiful Anterior with a Cafe Style theme. The bar has this very nice antique vibe to it. Great lighting all around. Perfect setting for a relaxing meal 5/5 [Service] - Good Service. Very attentive staff. I had multiple people come ask me if I needed help. 4/5 [Food] - 4/5 Combo Breakfast w Chicken Sausage 3/5 [ Taste ] ~ The Sausage was over cooked. Tough and Dry. The egg is egg. Nothing special. I got the scamble. THE TOAST "French Toast" is probably one of the best toast I have eaten. Just the right amount of texture with each bite "Fluffy Soft Crispy " everything. The Flavor profile had a nice cinnamon and vanilla taste , combine with the syrup and butter. The butter had a very different. I never had this kind of butter before. However it was very good. [ Smell ] - Wonderful Fragrance from the vanilla and toast [ Presentation] - The Toast Looked very appealing and the rest was okay. Overall Pretty good. Additional comments - This place is located in a very small street. Dont worry about parking because they have a small parking lot for customer only. read more

Can't say that I was blown away by my brunch at Doyle Street because... I just wasn't. Nothing about this meal stood out above the rest. But what I can say is that it's a solid spot for breakfast or brunch if you're in the area and willing to wait. Dropped by for brunch after finishing up some work nearby. First things first; parking is hard and street only. This place is located on a random street in Emeryville that you might miss if you blink. Parking is very limited. I found a spot in the residential neighborhood nearby and walked down to the entrance. They have a patio parklet in front that seems to be pretty popular with the crowd. I came solo on this day but still had a short wait for a table. Inside is open and airy with lots of tables that are within close proximity of each other. The place was booming on a Saturday morning. When my table was ready, I was sat and given a menu. Prices seem on the higher side for a local brunch, but what isn't high priced these days?! I opted for the California eggs benedict (crab cake benedict) and a chai latte. The food took a while to arrive but I just shucked it up to it being a busy Saturday. The crab cake benedict was decent. The English muffin was nice and fluffy and the crab cake tasted fine, but they didn't put much hollandaise sauce on top, so it ended up tasting a tad bit dry. The eggs weren't over poached, but they weren't yolky when I cut into them. It was somewhere between poached and over poached if that makes sense. The chai latte was pretty good but I was missing those spices. Some people prefer a weaker chai tea, so maybe that's the reason for the lack of chai spice. It was still good for a milder blend. After I finished, it took forever for my server to come back to my table. Even after I asked for the check, it took a while for him to bring it back. I'd say, bring your patience. I'm guessing they're used to folks lingering here for a while. In any event, it wasn't a bad experience but it also wasn't anything memorable. I wouldn't be opposed to coming back, but it definitely wouldn't be my first choice pick for brunch. read more

1st time here!!! My wife found it via Google. It had many great reviews so she chose it. We came for brunch with the Mrs. at 12 p.m. yesterday and we were immediately seated. However, you can add your name to the Yelp wailist via the Yelp app. They also have a standalone parking lot ( Not too big, but decent) and a few parking spots right next for in another small parking lot. There is street parking as well. They most def had a crowd when we walked in. However, the place had inside seating and covered outside seating. Plenty of seats for all types of party sizes. Our orders were taken in a very timely manner. Food and drinks were brought out with that same manner. I had a hot chocolate with oat milk and she had a latte. Both were so good. No complaints at all All the food was hot and exactly how we wanted it to be. I am very very very picky about everything I eat and I want my food exactly how I ask for it. In particular, I wanted my bacon crispy and not burnt, per usual. Well... they did not disappoint. Delicious bacon, tasty cheesy eggs and fluffy pancakes to die for. My wife had overeasy eggs, bacon and the French toast. She said that the French toast tasted as if it had rum in it. Honestly, I tasted it and it low key did taste like it did..lol. To finish this all of, we both had a Bellini and it was served in a wine glass and I thought that was distant because most times it is served in a flute glass. Small thing to notice, but still a notice indeed. My wife stated that the restaurant has contributed alot to the community because of all the plaques and pictures that were around. You can tell that they care about the people that they serve and the community members. We both throughly enjoyed our time here and most certainly will be going back. She wants to try the Farmers omlette next time. read more

Came here for brunch for the first time in years and it was a mixed experience. Food was good but service specifically our server was not very good. Pros: - Yelp waitlist - Easy parking - Nice, welcoming host - Food portions good and flavorful. Enjoyed home fries heaven a lot. - enjoyed outdoor patio dining Cons: - server was dry, rude, and even made the comment "I wouldn't overcharge you" when we asked for a receipt before he he tried to charge us on the credit card machine. Funny thing is he did overcharge us for a coffee we never received. Humans make mistakes so it was no biggie, but his arrogance and energy was not good since we sat down and his snarky comment when we asked for a receipt was not good service and really ended our meal on a sour note. - no kids menu I probably would give this place a try again but with the bad service not sure I would add it into our regular brunch rotation. read more

Farmers Omelette was really good! Hash browns were a little on the softer side, but the cheesy gooey omelet with bacon made up for it! I really also enjoyed the pancakes, which is some of the best butter I've had to accompany these really fluffy pancakes. Their coffee is quite good too, and the owner and workers are very fun and talk to everyone! read more

My latest brunch at Doyle Street Cafe left me with a pretty bad experience. My friends and I sat stopped by around 9:00 a.m. and there was plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. News to me, but if you're driving, the gated lot across the street is actually Doyle Street Cafe's dedicated parking lot. However, it's not a big lot -- fitting twenty or so cars, so not everyone dining in the restaurant will have parking there. Within two minutes of sitting down and receiving the menu, our waiter stopped by to take our order. I get speedy service is good, but please allow your guests to have some time to greet their friends, process the menu, and decide their orders. I also specifically, really disliked the bearded male server that was assigned to our table. This individual gave us the nastiest look when taking our order. If you're having a bad day, please call in and request the day off! In the food and beverage world, right alongside with the hospitality industry, would it kill you to be kind to your guests? Throughout our meal, our sever never stopped by to check on us, never topped off my empty coffee, and when the check arrived, he made aggressive eye contact the whole time while holding the credit card device, effectively guilt tripping you to tip with one of the high defaults. The value here is also quite terrible. If you order French toast, a few cut up strawberries and blueberries are a $6 add-on and two eggs are $7. I get eggs are expensive but $7 is absolutely pushing it. After tax and tip, for our party of four, our meal came out to around $90. In my opinion, that's far too expensive for four coffees (three of which were espresso drinks), two entrees - which were split between the couple, and a side of eggs and crab cakes. I left hungry after our meal and wasn't planning on spending any more money at this establishment. This awful experience makes Doyle Street Cafe a strong skip in my book for American style brunch. I recommend taking your business elsewhere, as there are plenty of other restaurants in Emeryville -- and nearby in Berkeley and Oakland, that offer far better brunch experiences. read more

Went in on a slow morning, not expecting much. Left feeling like I'd found my new regular spot. The vibe is perfect -- bright, busy but not loud, great music, and somehow feels cozy even when it's full. The barista remembered my name after one visit. Felt nice. It's not a fancy destination restaurant, and it gets packed on weekends. But for a calm morning, a reliable coffee, and a quiet corner to read or work? It's pretty much perfect. read more
