Just want firing on all cylinders and had a few more errands to run before getting home for my brew. Nice place with some outdoor seating and seats by the window inside which choose. Just a regular cup of black coffee. I did look over the baked foods and other dishes which all looked pretty good but just not into spending 13+ for some specialty sandwich. Why have prices gone up so much? From the looks of things it s a local crowd from the area. If we lived down the street maybe we would pop in now and then but not a destination. Staff s nice, place was clean if your in the neighborhood give them a try.

I pass this place all the time, and finally went one morning. Very busy place in the mornings…read more Happy to support a local cafe near the BART station! Yes, very convenient to pick up a breakfast sandwich before heading into the city for work or wherever you're going for the day. Seriously, that breakfast Sanwhich so flavorful when I took the first bite. I added the tomato & spinach & I'm glad I did. Next time I will get sausage, since I got turkey this time. I'm not a pork person usually, but, for this Sanwhich I will try. lol Few ladies working when I as there, doing their best with so many orders coming through. Good for them. Will be back very soon!

I think it is justifiable that the staff should exercise a level of discretion and not penny pinch everything given that she seen that I was a paying customer almost everyday in the morning. I have never went back since. Furthermore, I have also shared my thoughts with my colleagues and some have had similar complaints about this establishment! DO BETTER POWDER FACE!!!

I didn't realize that there was an Ike's in San Leandro, so we decided to stop by for dinner since…read morewe had a deal on inKind that we had to use before it expired. It wasn't packed at 5pm on a Sunday, but they were busy with to-go orders. I ordered a Michael Jordan (meatball sub) on a Dutch Crunch and it could've had more sauce because the meatball was a bit dry. My husband ordered Beast Mode (fried chicken and bacon) served with dirty sauce on a Dutch Crunch and it was the perfect combination in terms of flavor and the amount of ingredients. They don't have the cleanest outdoor seating, but we still sat outside to enjoy the weather. The staff were friendly and polite. Good spot to pick up a sandwich if you're craving one.

My husband had the nova lox bagel sandwich, and I had ham and egg on a cheese, jalapeño bagel. Both of us were very surprised with how good they came out and again I must say the bagels seem very fresh and don't make you feel like you have lead in your stomach. I'm happy that this establishment has new owners and we will continue to buy our bagels from Hometown bagels.

Mint Iced Vietnamese Coffee ($6ish/5*). Tried this during the last holidays and it was fantastic. I already love Vietnamese coffee and this had a soft cream on top with grated mint candy. So festive and just hit for that season. Wonder if they can do it all year round? Smoked Salmon Bagel ($9.50/4*) Nice toasty smaller bagel with all the usuals of soft lox n cream cheese, capers and red onions. Loved the compact size as it didn't put a lead weight in my gut in the AM hours. The bagel crust tho is kinda hard and brittle, almost crouton hard which I thought was strange. But the interior was indeed soft yet chewy. Iced Cold Brew ($4/4*) Pretty smooth. I only asked for a kiss of cream and it was just right. I prefer a more robust roast finish but still quite serviceable. I liked how the owner knew a lot of the customers by name. Since I'm not a reg, I actually was the only one who didn't get called by name on a weekday morning. Love the small town vibe and even tho not a reg, I'd still hit this up if in the neighborhood.

The drink wasn't too sweet, so I added some sweet and low. They have some additives on the counter. I also ordered the WTF sandwich. I came in the morning and they already didn't have ham. They offered extra of the bacon or turkey, so I took that. The bread wasn't toasted enough for me, or rather, I thought it would be pan toasted with some butter or something, but I think the slices were just put in the toaster. The space might still be in progress. There were tables that were put away on the corners of the room, and no chairs to sit at while waiting. I'll update my review when I visit again. I'm sure things will only improve!

Woke up this morning and figured, why not grab a dozen donuts for the family. I was able to pick…read moreall our favorites, and everything tasted fresh. This place definitely gets busy, but they keep the line moving quick. You really can't go wrong with the donuts here. The coffee is popular too, I noticed a lot of people grabbing a cup. The breakfast sandwiches are solid, just be ready to wait a bit since they're made fresh and that line can get long. Overall, a great spot when you're craving something sweet or a quick breakfast.

Inside was clean and there was plenty of seating if you wanted to enjoy your donuts and coffee indoors. Lots of parking too. I think this will become my go-to donut place going forward.
