    I hate to be difficult, but it would be really nice if they actually opened on time for lunch.

    Had the lasagna today - it was outstanding! And the server was friendly and engaging as was the cashier. Very good experience.

    Second time trying to write this review since the algorithm won't allow it to post with degrading…read morecomments about our beloved governor and his hand in destroying restaurants during the unnecessary "the vid" hysteria. Dropped in here while my car was getting worked on.  Not sure why the less than stellar reviews 'cause I thought it was great. Also for a restaurant to be open this long is an achievement especially after what occured needlessly. I had the Spinach and Artichoke Frittata on a bed of potatoes and greens off of the Spring Specials menu. In my opinion this needs to be on the daily menu. I love a good fritatta and this was probably the best I can remember as far back as I can recall. It was packed with spinach and artichokes and just enough egg and cheeses to hold the whole thing together. Very filling. The dried tomato pesto on top was a very nice touch. Coffee was great and service perfect. Even though there is a  self serve coffee and water refill station staff continually came by to fill coffee and water and just check on me. They also have beer and wine and for the ladies....Momos!!!!! There is a parklet on Dwight as well as seating against the building. Next time I need to wait for my car or find myself hungry in Berkeley I'm coming here. And great music. Side note: Originally opened in 1979 and sold to Collin in 2011 who used to be a customer growing up in the area and actually worked here before owning it and still runs daily operations. So the story goes.

    Gave this place a chance even though we love Tanzies which is next door…read more Ordered some of their lattes: the lavender latte and cardamom latte. The lavender latte was so bad...had to throw it away. The cardamom latte was okay...but just tasted like a latte. No taste of cardamom and no complex flavors within the coffee brewed. For these two items, we paid $16. Complete waste of money.

Very hefty on the avocado and a really yummy waffle. I would come back to check out their other menu items for sure. Only con; limited parking

The donut dish had a nice texture and a fresh seafood flavor. The mushroom cappuccino had purple powder which was aesthetically fascinating and the soup was full of umami. The tasting menu itself started with the crudo, which had a sweetness from the guava broth and a spicy kick from the onion and curry oil. The lovely balance of flavors and textures continued in the Caesar dish with crunchy leaves and the ikura bursting (literally) with deliciousness. The pork belly was hearty and comforting, with a plum sauce and plantains which paired well with the carignane. The smore was a fun spin on a classic sweet snack with a gooey marshmallow. Overall I had fun looking at and tasting the food here. I'd like to come back to try the fish, it smelled so good.
