The staff were very welcoming and attentive to our table. Food portions were decent but at least flavor of the food was there. There was only outside seating as the inside seemed to be vacated from Covid times, only staff or people going to the bathroom were inside. Would definitely be back if in the area!

I really wanted to like the place. I decided to stop by before heading to the Solano Avenue Stroll…read more I arrived around 9:30 on a Sunday, wrote my name on the waitlist and sat on a bench in the front of the restaurant. I sat and waited for about 5 min. After being seated, I was greeted by a server. She asked what I'd like to drink and I said water & then she mentioned that water and cups were at a counter and she pointed to it. I said oh, ok. I then placed my order (sourdough French toast & a side of bacon). I waited for about 10 min and my food came out. Then that was it, I was never checked on to see how things were or if I needed anything. After I was done eating, I was patiently waiting for any server to see if I needed a box. It wasn't until a server tended the table next to me (on both sides) I politely asked for a small box. They sure did quickly bring the bill to me. Sorry I always tip, this time I didn't. I didn't feel I got good service. The place wasn't too busy. The cabin part looked small & I didn't go inside. The place is dog friendly & seems like majority of the seating is outside. I'm guessing since I was by myself and didn't spend a whole lot, maybe that was the reason why I didn't get good service? (The tables around me did). So I guess if you plan on going, bring someone to go with you.

Yum! I remember going to Brezo back when they were located at Point Richmond, and I've heard about…read moretheir move to Solano Ave for quite some time. Most recently I finally was able to give them a try. So glad we did! We came around lunch time and sat at a booth. There were other worker bees grabbing a quick lunch. The service was quick, efficient and friendly, and we ordered the French onion soup to start, and split the fried chicken sandwich and Philly cheesesteak sandwich. The sandwiches come with a side, so one plate we did fries with a house-made aioli and the other plate, their quinoa kale salad. Delicious. Such hearty portions! The bread is so fresh, the meat juicy and ample, and flavors just right. We also ordered beer on tap, shoutout to Oakland United, and tried their house-made hot sauce that they also sell by the bottle. Would love to come back to try brunch here too. I also saw a patron ordering the quinoa kale salad with fried chicken, and yes, that's the vibe! Pricing is fair for the quality and quantity, and street parking available (although the restaurant is located at the bottom of Solano where it tends to be a bit more busy). Women-owned biz, and they also were on Check Please! Bay Area.

I wanna try that rose brûlée cappuccino with whole milk, to get that brulee effect. It didn't work out well with the oatmilk. Still was very tasty! Also, I wanna try out their brunch menu on the weekend. Heard that was good, too!

I have to be upfront, this place is super loud. The…read moreacoustics are terrible, and sound from groups resinates in the restaurant space. It's difficult to have an enjoyable meal with all the noise. I do have to add that there was one large group and they appeared to be shouting the entire time. As for the food, I ordered a braised lamb shawarma and it was good but nothing amazing. Presentation-wise it looked really good. The braised lamb was tender but $19 for a lamb wrap seemed a bit too much for me I also had an orange blossom lemonade which was quite refreshing. Not sure I'd come back knowing that it was so hard to have a conversation with those at my table.

I got the Simply Strawberry -- fresh strawberries, strawberry sauce, maple syrup, brown sugar, and whipped cream -- and it was just as good as I remembered. My daughter ordered the Campfire Crepe, basically a s'mores-inspired crepe, and it was delicious and huge. One thing I always enjoy here is being able to watch the crepes being made fresh right in front of you. The husband cooks everything right there, and the service is always quick and friendly. Prices do seem a little higher than before, but honestly with the way everything is right now, it's understandable considering the portion sizes and quality. Overall, a really solid spot when you're in the mood for something sweet. Definitely a place we'll keep coming back to.

If you've ever had Arsicault, then you'll understand what I mean when I say this place is a true contender. And the best part? You don't have to travel far, pay that toll bridge, or deal with expensive gas. Save all that and give this place a try! Do note: Canelé -- available Friday to Sunday Pastel de nata (Portuguese tarts) -- available Saturday & Sunday What I've tried: Croissant -- Yum, yum, yum! From end to end, it has that perfectly crunchy exterior, and not a hollow bite in sight. Every bite is flaky, buttery, and satisfying. Chocolate Croissant -- A must if you love chocolate. Rich, flaky, and indulgent. Almond Croissant -- Another delicious contender. Nutty, sweet, and absolutely worth it. Apricot Croissant -- Not bad at all. The apricot adds a nice touch without overpowering the pastry. Bostock -- This one was a miss for me. It looked beautiful, but it was missing that little finesse that makes you want another bite. Gâteau au Fromage (Basque Cheesecake) -- A bit pricey, but so worth the splurge because they really know how to nail it. One bite and you won't be able to stop until it's gone. Pastel de Nata -- Crispy edges with a delicate, creamy, and delicious filling. That crunch is everything. Canelé -- These babies sell fast, so make sure to get there when they open. I love the crunchy exterior paired with that soft, custardy inside. Yum, yum, yum! Chocolate Fondant -- Not bad, but not my favorite. I've definitely had better elsewhere. Chocolate Hazelnut Cake -- The flavor was nice, but I found this one just a tad dry. Bottom line: While not everything was a home run, their croissants, canelés, Basque cheesecake, and pastel de nata are absolutely worth coming back for. A hidden gem that delivers big on flavor without the long drive. Definitely worth the visit!

She needed a ride to the salon so off we went! We had an almond milk latte and a regular latte. We ordered it for here, so we asked to have them served in mugs. The lattes were delicious! There a good mix of students studying here. And some people working. It was a pretty quiet group when we were there. My sister and I sat at the counter and chatted very quietly. Nicely decorated inside. I love independently owned cafes like these! We also got a breakfast sandwich, but they are made to order and it took awhile, so we had it packed it up to go because she didn't want to be late to her hair appointment. Sandwich was great!

The workers and the owner were all very kind and welcoming. I got there a little after they opened in the morning. As for the food, I ordered the kimchi fried rice along with the chicken and croffle. The fried chicken tasted a bit interesting. I'm not sure if the frying temperature was off or if it had something to do with the condition of the oil, but the texture of the breading wasn't quite right. I used to work at a fried chicken shop in Korea, so it was a texture I recognized--the coating was fully cooked and wasn't necessarily soggy, but there was no real crunch. Instead of being crispy, the breading was soft and kind of gave way when you bit into it. Unfortunately, I couldn't continue eating it. I'd give the chicken a 2/5. As for the kimchi fried rice, I liked the addition of cilantro and beets, which gave it a refreshing touch. My only issue was that the kimchi itself was way too sour for kimchi fried rice. I don't mind fermented or sour kimchi, but in this case, the sourness overpowered the rest of the dish. Overall, the cafe itself is cute and the people working there were genuinely very kind. I just wish the food had been a little better, especially the fried chicken. Will be back next time to try out the coffee!! It is a cafe after all.
