There's something really special about finding a true mom-and-pop breakfast spot This little family-run gem is owned and operated by a sweet mom, dad, and their kids--and you can feel the love the second you walk in. Everyone is so friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The energy is warm, cozy, and inviting... like you're being fed at someone's home. And the food? So good. They absolutely nailed the crispy waffle (perfectly golden with that slight crunch ). We ordered scrambled eggs, waffles with bacon, and French toast with sausage--and shared everything family-style. Every bite was delicious. Places like this just hit different. Good food, good people, and a whole lot of heart. Definitely coming back read more

This is the cutest little mom and pop restaurant. The owners are so sweet and attentive. My go to order is the spicy loco moco. The sauce is by far the most flavourful one I've had. Come support! read more

Yumm mom and pop spot if youre craving a hawaiian style breakfast or just..breakfast. I had the bulgogi omelette with hashbrowns. Shared french toast. Everything tasted good quality and flavorful. Small shop but we came in early on a Fri and snagged a spot inside. Owners will set up outdoor seating and I've seen pics of chairs for counter seating. It is nice and cozy though and owners are so sweet and funny! read more

One star away from a perfect 5/5. Everything else smacked. Service , price, freshness, cleanings only inside. I found this breakfast only spot by keyword search breakfast around me. This one popped up and glad it did. Even just by driving by you can totally tell this is a primarily take out spot. When you enter it can barely fit 3 customers not kidding. One guy was eating at one table and another customer stepped in his foot by accident that's how tiny this place is. There is one small table outside but the area and people around you think twice about sitting there. And parking there is really no parking , just no parking signs literally everywhere and time limit parking zones. I saw a parking garage around but that was a few blocks away. I got lucky and found a corner spot and didn't get a ticket . But the breakfast was pretty good and it was prepare nice and neat for the go. I snapped a quick pic. I recommend this place not because it looks nice from outside because it doesn't at all but for what's inside it great food and service . I feel good afterwards spending money at a family owned place and because they work hard to keep their customers happy and fed you can tell. In conclusion the lack of a bathroom, Barely any parking and dirty streets nearby was the deciding factor for 4/5 read more

The bulgogi omelette was the business!!! Wow.. so delicious. The loco moco was delicious too... there's a little surprise of a piece of spam in there.. there's gravy tastes legit, not like it came from a powder base. The spot is really small.. only 6 seats inside and a couple more outside maybe.. the service was quick and super friendly.. The next time I'm in town, I'd go back again for sure. read more

I visited Koffee Pot on a Saturday morning around 8:30/9:00 AM. It was already getting busy with a large party sitting outside and a few individuals inside. The family managing the business were incredibly attentive throughout my visit. They quickly took my order and served the drinks, and even took the time to chat a little while I was waiting. They were so sweet and kind to their customers, making it one of the best service experiences I've had at a mom & pop diner in Oakland! The food was amazing! The French toast had crispy edges with a sweet, soft bite in the middle. The waffle was equally impressive--crispy on the outside and soft like a puffy cloud on the inside. The loco moco was definitely the standout dish! The sauce had a unique flavor that I couldn't quite pinpoint, but it was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be back. Koffee Pot has found themselves a regular customer! read more

Great breakfast spot - although I would only come if you are with one other person. I've had this spot to-go and delivered multiple times and the breakfast sandwiches are always delicious and plenty of options. It reminds of eating in Hawaii - fusion food and the hash browns are clearly those frozen Micky D's style you can buy in a frozen section and the burger patty may or may not be from Costco but it all works. I decided on the Loco Moco since I had just worked out and how often can you find that? The plate was massive, Rice, burger, spam, gravy, eggs, pretty hard to create a heavier dish but the gravy wasn't too thick or heavy so it really helped the dish. Great flavor and eggs cooked perfect. My gf got the spicy pork bulgogi omelet, again how often can you find that? Really delicious, served with two hash browns and two slices of toast. The omelet was packed with the bulgogi, mushrooms, and peppers. Make sure you try something off their little hot sauce stand! read more

Koffee Pot has been in business for years and for good reason - it's fantastic. We've gotten everything from the moco loco to the pancakes/waffles/french toast. When I lived in the area, my tradition was to go by myself and have a French toast breakfast. Self-care looks different for everyone. I usually call for pick-up and it's ready pretty fast. The service is excellent for both pick up and order in, and it's got a really cute mom and pop vibe. You will not be disappointed! read more

Great croissant breakfast sandwich! The owners are very friendly and prices are very reasonable.

Koffee Pot on Telegraph between 25th St., 26th St. was fire. Super friendly. Serving breakfast until 1:30 on Saturday. I like the fact that the breakfast specials are just $13.50. You can get a waffle or French toast, bacon or sausage, and two eggs. I went for turkey sausage. Feeling crazy so I added an extra just for kicks. By extra I mean I got the waffle and the French toast. So I could check out both dishses. So basically I ordered an extra-special breakfast special for only $21.50. And an iced Vietnamese coffee for $5.50 was exactly what I needed a nice warm summer day. I walked the lake and went to my gym for a workout so I wanted to go big for breakfast. Food came out in a hurry too.The French toast stole the show. Scrambled eggs were good. The turkey sausage was all right. The waffle pretty good too. Not great, just not my style. More soft than crispy, so not quite my thing. But the French toast was all that! That's going to be my go-to when I need a quick, inexpensive brunch or breakfast in this part of town. Pro tip; you don't have to eat here to get an iced Vietnamese coffee to go. Such a perfect warm weather treat. If only to support a good local restaurant at a time with so many of them closing. read more

Oh my hole in the wall this place is tiny! The omelette was fire it was stuffed with meat and cheese. Downside they also put like a half of an avocado in it and didn't really chop it very good so it was massive chunks. The loco mock was not great they used a frozen burger patty that was cooked to death! The gravy was blah the burger was good but again massive avocado slices and a frozen burger read more

Highly recommend checking out Koffee Pot! It's ran by a really sweet family and the service is excellent. It's a small but cozy space on the inside. The food is excellent as well highly recommend the breakfast sandwiches and anything with the hollandaise sauce. Vietnamese Iced Coffee is really good too! Thanks Koffee Pot! read more

Still a lovely, local little hole-in-the-wall diner in the heart of downtown Oakland with a Hawaiian-Asian flare in dishes. My friend and I came in recently for brunch and shared a hardy, large order of Loco Moco with a side of Hash Browns. Safe to say, we could not finish everything but tried our best as to not waste. The price was fantastic for everything we got, which is hard to find in the Bay Area with rising inflation and cost of rent. Shoutout to the two young girls working in the shop that their family now owns (it seems that ownership has changed in the past year), Teresa and Mary! Thank you for shielding us from an unsavory regular in an altered mental state (unfortunately, not uncommon in Oakland). read more

Stayed up after my bar shift. Was hungry even after snacking. Saw they were up in Telegraph near my crib. Called in an order and they secured it. Biked up and got a good hearty fucking meal. I don't do reviews as someone who works in mom n pop restaurants . Support this beautiful business. The food smacks, the cafe immaculate, and their heart is true with no bullshit mask. This is a real auntie and uncle kitchen, take care of them and they'll take care of you. If you see a security guard getting off his shift, say what's up. He tired and works hard. Good people. Good morning, good afternoon, and goodnight. read more

Great tasty food. Portions were bigger than I expected and the staff were cool and nice upon entry! Great space, excellent choice for breakfast. read more

I love this place and can't wait to go back!! I tried the bulgogi omelette which was very flavorful and the meat was very soft. I also tried the Vietnamese coffee which was so delicious! The perfect balance between sweet and better. Also the staff (maybe owners?) were so friendly and made sure to check on us to see if we needed anything and enjoyed the food. The place is a little bit small but it just adds to the experience! There's a few options to sit outside as well for a nice day! read more

I see why this place has a 4.6; well desevered. The food was warm when it arrived. Ordered the French Toast, Eggs and Bacon breakfast. The bacon was well done; not greasy, right amount of natural salt, not a lot of fat. The eggs were cooked to perfection. The French Toast was great and similar to the photos. I enjoyed it from home and will be ordering again. Very reasonably priced. Order came under 20 minutes. The deliverer arrived before the order was ready. Support more local and reasonable priced places like this one. read more

I Heart Koffee Pot And even though I thought my review days were behind me, it's so hard not to write a review for a place that deserves to be popular. Just a couple of tables outside and limited seating inside, this place is perfect for "the morning after gossip sesh" after a long night out. Hangover worthy breakfast, and vietnamese coffee that fights off your Sunday scaries - Koffee pot's service makes you feel like you're having breakfast at your best friend's parents house; that, and your best friend's dad has a hot sauce collection you're always excited to try. This is one of my favorite breakfast spots in Oakland, but please come on a weekday, so I don't have to deal with a long wait on a weekend morning! read more

Got bamboozled with breakfast. Ordered a veggie omelette with hash browns on the side. Thinking it was going to be shredded potato's like in the pictures. Except I got two pieces of frozen McDonald like hash browns. Omelette had no flavor with the amount of thick cut veggies was ridiculous. Tried to revive it with ketchup but it was still lacking. To say it was cheap it wasn't. Paid $37.50 for two omelettes and a waffle. Will never be coming back here again. read more

Koffee Pot - Veggie Omelette - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

This tiny, family run cafe is truly a gem! Inside, there's only about 4 tables (so I saw most people order in for takeout) but I decided to dine in. Everyone was so kind and the service was great. Loco Moco - spectacular and so comforting. It felt like a hug in a bowl. The loco moco came with the traditional patty, gravy, egg, but then had extra razzle dazzle with spam and some avocado. It was simply perfection and if you're ever wondering what to get, this is the order. Two Eggs with Bulgogi and Hashbrowns - a twist on your standard steak and eggs breakfast. This was super tasty. The bulgogi reminded me of fajitas in a way with the green bell peppers but I'm not mad at it, it added a good texture to the meal and freshness. Overall, I loved how no frill this spot was and it felt very home-y, so I'll def be coming back! read more

Is it omelet or omelette? Does it even matter? Does anyone besides me care? This sounds like a good question to ask Chat GPT! Hey, Chat GPT, what is the difference between omelet and omelette? "The difference is simply a matter of spelling. 'Omelet' is the spelling used in American English, while 'omelette' is more commonly used in British English and other varieties of English around the world. Both spellings are considered correct and acceptable, so you can use either one depending on your personal preference or the spelling conventions of the region you're in." Thanks, Chat GPT! The more you know. Well, this review is about the omelettes (I will use this spelling since this is the spelling Koffee Pot uses on its menu) at Koffee Pot. Two very, very delicious omelettes. If you grew up in an Asian household or just like Asian or Hawaiian-Polynesian food, you'll be familiar with the kick-ass combination of eggs and rice for breakfast. Koffee Pot is one of those places where you can not only get a loco moco, but you can also get a side of rice with your omelette. And Koffee Pot likes to mix in a little fusion as well. You can get a regular veggie omelette or a bulgogi omelette ... whaaaaaaat? There were some egg and rice cravings going on, so an order for a regular veggie and cheese omelette (with side of rice) and a spicy pork omelette (with side of rice) was placed through Uber Eats delivery. It's a little difficult to gauge whether the order received accurately portrayed Koffee Pot's product and service since the order was place at around 10 a.m. on a Saturday, which was probably not the best time to be putting in a delivery order. Still, the four stars are for the quality and portion of the food alone. The veggie omelette was sizable, with a LOT of veggies packed inside. It felt like a hearty breakfast while also being healthy! The spicy pork omelette (a new item on the menu) was super tasty as well, with a generous amount of nicely seasoned (with gochujang) pork and veggies in the omelette. And, of course, all with a satisfying side of rice. Toast comes with it, too, in case you're still hungry after all that. I did a poor job of capturing a photo of all the pork inside the omelette, but take my word for it ... or better yet, go find out for yourself! I found the portion and quality for the price to be quite fair, and the containers they use are compostable - like, biodegradable compostable, not like "we say we're compostable, but we pretty much look like plastic" compostable, if you know what I mean. The omelettes from Koffee Pot were so good, I wanted to eat there again the next day, but wouldn't you know it, they are closed Sundays and Mondays! They're also only open until about 1:30 p.m., so plan accordingly. Read the other reviews, peruse the photos, and order the omelettes! read more

Family-owned restaurant with delicious breakfast and lunch foods. I got their Loco Moco. It had the basics: hamburger patty, two over easy eggs, gravy, rice but also SPAM, furukake and avocado! The restaurant has outdoor and indoor seating. It's very cozy and they practically dote on you! I felt like I was eating at home with my extended family. Everything from the tables, floor, window sills -- everything -- is very clean. read more

It wasn't a comfortable space for my friend. We received noticably different service from the start. It began with the waitress not taking her drink order to not clearing her plate afterward, and other racist microagressions throughout. It was done so second nature as if it were something they were used to doing. There was even a man outside who wasn't doing anything wrong that was constantly harassed by a blue shirt dude. It was a weird vibe. Won't be coming back. read more

Best family owned breakfast joint in the bay! Everyone is so so sweet, friendly, and generous, and it's lovely to see the staff interact with each other.

This establishment has changed ownership a little while back, perhaps in 2017? The service is fantastic, and their people are very kind. There are two tables outside, and a couple inside. It's become very popular so if you want to eat breakfast outside, you've got a come a little early to score a table. The bulgogi and two eggs is outstanding. They also have a bulgogi omelette, which I plan to try next time. Their coffee is also pretty good for a diner. It's not hipster or stuffy like some of the establishments on Broadway. It's places like this that keep Telegraph more diverse and grounded. read more

Tried Koffee Pot for the first time as it was near work, opened at 7 am, and had received positive reviews from other Yelpers. We were definitely not disappointed. Parking along that part of Telegraph Ave can be a bit challenging even early in the morning but take the time to visit. Service was very friendly and efficient. Not a lot of indoor seats but we enjoyed sitting in the built in wooden seats by the window. The breakfasts we had were delicious and the portions were hearty. The soy-marinated bulgogi with two perfect over easy eggs and furikake rice and toast were a great combination. The bulgogi beef was tender and sautéed with onions and bell peppers. The bulgogi omelette was also excellent with the marinated sliced beef, various vegetables and cheese folded into a fluffy omelette and topped with Korean spicy paste-based sauce. It also came with a choice of hash browns or rice, as well as toast or English muffin. The coffee was a the usual diner style but came in big stylish mugs. Overall - really glad to have found this place and looking forward to trying all of the other items in their menu. read more

Food was alright - nothing special and no stand out items or flavor . I love me a Benedict but the sauce barely had flavor & didn't add to my meal . Sausage was just cut up into smaller pieces and thrown on top - when it said side of hasbrowns I didn't think it would be 2 hash patties smh The French toast was dry and had a lot of powdered sugar on it . The Koffee was delicious though ! Very rich . The inside is small , and a bit crowded . What made this an amazing experience was the service . Aunty was handling the register , to the kitchen and even the to go orders . She was a one woman team & did it gracefully ! read more

I stopped in for the bulgogi omelette after searching online for a place serving it. To my delight, it was delicious! We also ordered the Moco Loco. The spam and beef patty were a great combo, but the tasty gravy was the prize! Everything cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be back. read more
