I've had the lemon chicken farro salad a few times here. It's delicious, if pricey at $13. Unlike Ladle & Leaf, the farro isn't overcooked, so it retains some of its nuttiness. The vegetable/fruit toppings get changed out seasonally - sometimes they're better, sometimes they're worse. The chicken is nicely seasoned, but it does come with (a lot of) skin/fat/connective tissue on, which isn't ideal. Every time I've been here, the WiFi password listed on the wall hasn't worked. I never have to wait very long when I get it to go, though. read more

This is a really cute spot, and I definitely recommend going here for a healthy yet delicious lunch. There really isn't that much to get excited about when you order a salad, but Plenty does a great job putting in quality ingredients, great flavors, and a variety of textures to make you forget that you're eating something healthy to begin with. I've taken multiple coworkers to this place, and every single person has had rave reviews about it. Definitely worth a stop to make this place a regular go-to. read more

Stopped in for brunch yesterday. I had the lemon chicken salad and it was fabulous! My friend had the noodle bowl with shrimp that was delicious. My other friend who does not eat eggs ask for a modified version of the special of the day (Avocado / Heirloom), and they had no problem holding the egg and replacing the hollandaise sauce with vinagrette! To top off the meal, we had a few cookies! I will not tell you what my favorite was as I do not want them to run out of them next time I come in! But the cookies are homemade and to die for. Try them all! (That is what we did!) I will go again likely next Sunday, as this is now my favorite brunch spot and there are many things on the menu I want to try. read more

I love the brown rice bowl here. When I want to get a bunch of tasty veggies with a perfectly poached egg and a healthy dose of sriracha, I come here. Their other food looks good too, I've enjoyed their avocado toast and the cookies are tasty. But it's the brown rice bowl that has me hooked. read more

This place is fantastic. Great people, great food, a sophisticated menu with delicious recipes. The vibe is simple and easy. Delicious pastries and tasty pour over coffee. This is a must try spot in Oakland. Great location. Love it. Best damn fried chicken I've ever had. read more

I wish I had found this place sooner. I love close by and decided to pop my head in a couple of weeks ago. Food was wonderful and people were great. Now, I'm back for round two today and am pleasantly reminded of the quality of ingredients in food. I definitely recommend this place for a quick lunch or breakfast. Enough options to suite different needs but not too many options to overwhelm you. They make only a few things regularly but they make them right. Also, they have specials that change I'm assuming because there is a different special than the one I saw last time. GREAT PLACE!! Get the avocado and bacon!!! read more

Good portioning and tasty bowl. The brown rice bowl is pleasing both in taste and sight! I believe this placed just opened but it's really nice. A bowl is about $11-12 plus $3 for chicken but can easily be a meal for two. I really enjoyed eating here. read more

Great new hip eatery. The sandwiches and pastries are great. This is exactly the type of place Oakland needs. The prices for items are what you'd expect for good food, but thankfully not overpriced. Love that they are open on Sundays!!! No gluten free items specifically listen on the menu. However, the staff are super accommodating about dietary restrictions. read more

Really love this place for their BIG salads and FRESH ingredients. Easy and really good. Only thing I wish they had was a kitchen to grill up fresh chicken and things in house. They use a lot of precooked meats and ingredients for anything with meat in it. read more

What's really great about this restaurant is that the atmosphere just feels very cozy and inviting. On top of that, the menu offers a wide selection from each course to choose from. I had a Bacon, Spinach Avocado Salad. What I liked about the dish was perfectly cooked egg york, and home made dressing. Bacon was cooked perfect for Salad. The portion was generous and dressing portion was not overpowered. Very friendly service. Compare to other cafes, Price is very reasonable with generous portion. I can't complain and I would go back for the same salad next time. We had a great time eating the food and chatting away. read more

Yum! Very generous portions. This is one serious TROUGH of beautiful, fresh whole food! Great cold-pressed juices. Nice staff, too.

We just moved to Oakland from SF, and we were desperate to find healthy options in the neighborhood (limited amount!). The owner Kara is so kind and hospitable, and the food is absolutely incredible and fresh. Her menu is designed for people who eat on the healthy side, but are not willing to sacrifice flavor - which is why we come back whenever we can. She also bakes incredible cookies and pastries - a must try. read more

These were some of the most delicious salads we've ever eaten. Ingredients were fresh and the dressings were so flavorful. We had the kale salad and the chicken sesame salad. Servings were filling and we would definitely highly recommend this. read more

I was really excited to try this place because of all the options! I ordered the brown rice bowl and the vegan bowl, and both were delicious and had large portions. They filled us up! I can't wait to come back and try their other seasonal menu items. It seems like a nice place to work as well (WiFi, extension cords for chargers), and the owners / staff were super friendly. Will definitely come here often, especially because of how close they are to Bart! read more

I've been to Plenty about six times in all, and each time, the food has been absolutely delicious and very healthy. I stop by as often as my bank account allows (it's not cheap, but the quality is very high) to get huge, filling vegan salads or bowls after tough gym sessions. The cookies and hot chocolate are great, too. The space is also very conducive to getting work done (spacious wooden tables and WiFi) or having a coffee with a friend. If you're planning to work, though, I highly recommend bringing noise-canceling headphones. There is not much acoustic absorption, and so every bang and thump from the kitchen and other normal business operations is amplified, making it difficult to focus. One of my favorite spots for healthy, conscientious eating. read more

Ordered the vegan bowl. Large portion, very fresh veggies. The Brussel sprouts were a bit under cooked but it was still an overall delicious and healthy meal. Would dine again! Ps - Some people throw the term "large portion" around lightly. I am not one of those people. When I say large portion, I mean that you will definitely be full after eating this meal. read more

Great baked goods, the salad was yummie but a bit overpriced but I guess this is the new Oakland.

I have never had a bad experience at Plenty! Their salads are well balanced with a lite amount of dressing. I've tried three or four of them now (some are seasonal), and all have been delicious. The food and customer service is always great! read more

I have loved everything I've tried on the menu, and there was a point when I was coming to Plenty every day for lunch! They have a ton of creative items on the menu, and their desserts are awesome. I have yet to be disappointed. I love that they offer kimchee and an egg on most dishes. I docked a star because it is rather expensive and I could probably make most of the salads/bowl items at home if I tried. That being said, I'd still eat here every day if I could afford it! read more

I didn't have a chance to eat my food. I ordered online, but I got caught up in a meeting so I double checked their hours of operation to make sure they'd still be open and everything online says they close at 6. I got there at 530 and they were closed AND I could see my food through the window. I would rather they ate it or gave it away. What a waste. read more

I was very impressed by the flavor and the portion of my meal. It was extremely yummy and just the right amount. I'm not in Oakland much but I'd recommend this place and if I'm in the area I'd definitely return to try the salmon. read more

I really enjoyed my lemon romaine chicken salad. It had high quality ingredients, tasty flavors, and was prepared quickly. I will be returning to try the other items! I am new here and I thank you for a health conscious choice! read more

I like eating here because its delicious and I feel like I'm doing something good for my body. I only wished the prices were a tiny bit cheaper. read more

I eat there all the time and the food is excellent. But I just had their crab gumbo and it was just heavenly. The perfect meal on a cold rainy day. read more

Went here for the first time the other day, and I was impressed my meal. I had the Spicy Korean Chicken over a salad and it was good. The only down part was the fact that my desk partner did not enjoy her meal; because, of the MSG in the meal. On the other hand, I definitely will be back. read more

Cute ass, healthy salad joint/café in uptown Oakland, a few blocks from the Fox Theatre. Can't wait to come back and try more of their stuff! read more

I went to Plenty for lunch today, and let me tell you I wasn't happy with my order. I ordered fried chicken benedict. It was horrible, it looked under cooked so I end up eating the salad only. I didn't have time to return it. I just started going to this spot and I'm usually pleased with their salads, noodle bowls and pasties. My suggestion is that they remove chicken benedict from the menu. read more

Really yummy dishes, great value, and very friendly service.

Rude. Don't seem interested in having a customer as a walk up. Assume you already know the drill, whatever that is.

There food, menu, and coffee is good, but I feel like they're trying to go out of business. First off they should get a sign (you cant tell it's there). This is a great location and have good brunch food, but for some reason they are only open during the day on weekdays. I'd love to come here for brunch, but closed Saturday morning. Dinner after work? Closed at 4. Also cant stop by before work for their good coffee cause they don't open till 9am. If they don't want to operate this place at normal hours, they should let somebody else take over the space and run it well. read more

This is my favorite lunch spot in DT Oakland. The kind of place where every time you eat there you walk out feeling good. Great salads and bowls- quick and incredibly healthy. Love it! read more

At this point, I've been here multiple times and I've enjoyed everything I've tried so far. I would say that the noodle bowl is perfect on a hot day. It's light, but filling, and the flavors have just enough kick that matches well with the glass noodles. When I've needed a heavier meal, I've gone with the porchetta tartine. The crispy rind is enough alone to order this dish, but the spicy slaw adds perfect balance. Also, love the vibe at the cafe. read more

Sunday and wanted to check his place out ever since it opens at the corner of San Pablo and 19th street in Oakland. I stopped in and ordered there seasonal offering of the Tennessee Tilt. It was very good with lots of flavors in my moth. When you crack the poached egg and the yolk get on everything, it seemed to bring everything together. Can't wait to try their other items. read more

I will try again as I almost always believe in second chances however I thought the salad I ordered was overpriced and underwhelming. the worker at the register was delayed in serving as there was a lady updating her chalkboard of menu options. I believe her to be the boss, an acknowledgment will have welcomed the wait. I have walked by many times and the other workers always give a hello as I walk by, so again all is not lost. will try again, best of luck plenty. read more

I had the brown rice bowl. It was very delicious with so many tasty ingredients! I'm definitely planning to go back.

Awesome place for some healthy food! We're got the rice bowl and noodle bowl and we're thoroughly impressed. Genetics portions and tasty. Great spot in uptown! read more

I just had the cheapest thing on the menu, I think, poached egg, avocado, hollandaise, open faced on a thick piece of delicious bread and a bed of arugula. It was superb. Will come back if I'm in the area again. Food was ready so fast I forgot to leave a tip! :-( read more

This place is so good! They have the best tasting coffee and cookies. I love their big salads, too!

Delicious food (in large quantities) that makes you feel GOOD. It's a little hard to find but keep your eyes peeled for a chalk-drawn coffee sign out front of the orange and black building facing San Pablo. Cute atmosphere, great music, and the owners are absolutely wonderful people. Will keep coming back and back! read more
