This Kaiser cafe serves food worse than a public school cafeteria in a poor district. This must be…read morethe unhealthiest food I have ever seen in my life served to Kaiser employees, patients and their families. So very sad. I gave two stars because the lady making my sandwich was kind. This should be zero stars. I ate here because my husband was getting a colonoscopy the day before Thanksgiving so not only was I feeling worried about my husband, the food here just made my day more sad. Today's special was fried chicken wings, onion rings and fries. They might as well call this Wing Stop. The other special today was steak (more like hamburger patties) with rice and salad. Soup of the day was beef and rice. Did they hire the chef from the local prison? Are they trying to make people sick to get more customers for the hospital? Everything is basically cheap. Most sandwiches are 7 dollars and the salmon sandwich is 7.95. Specials are like 9.95 here. To try to be healthy, I asked for a gluten free Atlantic salmon wrapped in lettuce. What I got was a thin frozen salmon patty that tasted like it was processed to taste like ramen. They grilled this frozen fish patty for almost 10 minutes and while I waited for this icicle to melt, I looked for some veggies and the best thing I could find was a beet tomato salad for 5.50 My total for lunch was more than 14 dollars and I got a sour tasting beet tomato salad and a thin piece of processed salmon patty on a bunch of lettuces. The dining area was sad. No decorations, some tables were dirty, and a bunch of depressed looking employees and patient family members holding their cellphones waiting for news.

As much as I love Ike's, I've significantly reduced how much I go there because the prices are…read moregetting out of control. I know it's not their fault, as minimum wage grows way out of hand, and they have to pay their employees the same no matter how many or how few customers come through the door. I am OK with a living wage, but there should be a separate "living with your parents" wage that is not as excessively high. Teens whose needs are met by their parents don't need to make $20 an hour making sandwiches. This is what befalls all restaurants, and I don't know how any of them survive. Also, I can't prove it, but I think their sandwiches are getting smaller. This is where they lose a star.

My husband and his bestie remember a time when they visited Ike's first location in the Castro,…read morenever thinking it would grow to the empire it is today. With a franchise location now in El Cerrito (yay!), I can't help but love the fun and quirky sandwich titles like the Jaymee Sirewich and Going Home for Thanksgiving, also all the nodes to Bay Area sports like the Beast Mode and Madison Bumgarner. From the famous Dutch Crunch sandwich rolls to the dirty sauce that's added to every sandwich (secret recipe), to the Caramel Apple Lollipop (very nostalgic to grade school), and Zapp's potato chips with a node to Nola, it's always a good time with Ike's. I recently tried the Mozzarella's Big Cheese: Halal Chicken, Honey Mustard, Real Honey, Provolone (and added avo) on Dutch Crunch. Delicious! You can order your sandwiches also in a bowl, with gluten free bread, or can ask for the innards of the roll to be removed for those that still want some bread but not so carby. To note, you can also request Vegan dirty sauce. They have a pretty cool array of vegan and veggie sandwich options, really catering to all sandwich lovers and folks that don't mind stepping outside the box, getting their hands a little messy, and enjoying an overall exciting experience from the norm. I'm all for it. With this location you can order ahead on the website for pickup, which seems to be the move to beat the school/kiddo rush during peak hours.

Came here with fewer expectations, as I used to live in a dominant Vietnamese community and lots of Banh Mi places competing with each other. However, this place exceeded my expectations, and I'm so happy about it since it's so close to where I live. The food was good and fresh, I just wished they put more pickled veggies and jalapeno. The coffee was great, the first sip felt like it brought my soul back to life! The interior is small, cozy, and clean, with and few indoor seating areas. The lady at the register was nice, and she was the one who made our sandwich as well. Street parking is only available. Overall, everything was good and definitely come back again.

If you're looking for a traditional cup of coffee, this may not be your spot. Chismecito Cafe…read moreshines when it comes to creative, sweet specialty drinks that are fun, flavorful, and unique. They also offer matcha, lemonade-based drinks, soft drinks, and a selection of Mexican snacks, giving you plenty of options beyond coffee. The prices are reasonable, and I appreciate that it's a family-run business. The atmosphere feels welcoming and community-oriented, even though the space itself is fairly small. Seating is limited, so I would consider this more of a grab-and-go coffee shop than a place to settle in and work for hours. The location is convenient, not too far from BART, although it is on a busy avenue. Parking is street parking only, and finding a spot can sometimes be a challenge, so plan accordingly. Overall, it's a great place to stop by when you're craving a fun drink, want to support a local family-owned business, or need a quick pick-me-up on the go.
