We were surprised Stonehenge was even open today! Yes, it was a bit busy because there was only 1 person clearing tables, taking orders and serving at the time before reinforcements arrived. We are grateful and thank you! If you see a disgruntled review from a chick that says "she was treated differently" who loudly said "you just don't like me!" is so full of crap and was probably projecting. Our table and the table next to her saw her whole temper tantrum go down. She acted like an impatient toddler and was very rude to the manager and server. Anyways, the quality of the food, the manager, everyone working was awesome and doing their best on this busy holiday and it should be acknowledged. Expect a bit of a wait and be patient during the holidays, don't be a prick and leave your problems at the door. read more

French toast was on my mind for no plausible reason. I had come out of the gym and empathized with what Leslie Mann's drunken barfly Nicky yelled to Steve Carell's eponymous character in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin". I felt like repeating her demand to no one in particular, "I want some f$#%ing French toast!!" I had walked by this cafe and thinking they might make a good one here. I bookmarked it mentally, and lucky for me, it turned out I was right. They close at 1:30PM on weekdays, so I had about 45 minutes. It wasn't busy, so I was given a roomy booth. Their menu featured quite a robust list of omelettes and even a waffle made of their house scones, but I was as adamant as Nicky and ordered the $17.20 French Toast made up of two thick slices of Texas toast halved. Reflecting a consistency much like brioche, the toast was dipped liberally in a housemade spiced egg batter. It came with a quartet of piping hot pork sausage links, a nice, meaty contrast to the sweetness of the toast heightened by fresh strawberries and whipped cream (Photo 9). Yes, it hit the spot. Quite a tasty treat. In hindsight, I was thinking they could have cut the French toast into pieces that could be sculpted into a model of Stonehenge on a plate. Hey, there's a popular Paris cafe that shapes its cake servings into the Arc de Triomphe. FOOD - 4 stars...a well executed French toast...Nicky would approve AMBIANCE - 4 stars...pretty spacious especially during the week...just know they close early SERVICE - 4 stars...I think a married couple owns the cafe, the wife was very nice TOTAL - 4 stars...French toast sculpted into Stonehenge...it could happen RELATED - Exploring Berkeley?

Eaten here many times. The food is almost always consistent and solid. And if that was all they were, I'd only call them a safe and good enough choice. But the real star is their carbs, their very own bakery showing off recipes and flavors that aren't a carbon copy of their competitors. The English muffins elevate their Benedict just by themselves. Their pancakes and waffles are scratch built and stand up well in a crowded space. Their tea scones are soft instead of hard and absolutely worth the price. read more

Come for the diner vibe, stay for the eponymous scones! There are so many vegetarian options that I didn't get to try so I will definitely be coming back. I really enjoyed seeing the different fusions that I haven't seen anywhere else (scone + waffle = ??) I ended up going for the scone breakfast sandwich which was delicious, but honestly the scone was the main event. I could eat so many different scones - and highly appreciate that they come in both savory and sweet flavors! Definitely take some to go on your way out (btw, they freeze well!) Highly recommend the currant scones though we enjoyed lemon ginger as well! read more

They are such a lovely neighborhood staple. I went close to 10 on Sunday with my brother and we were seated in 10 minutes even with a lot of people there. The food was amazing as always. The scones are soft and it's fun to see them incorporated into unique dishes like Scones Benedict. I had the French toast and loved the spiced batter they use. Perfect place for a casual hearty breakfast! read more

Today's scone: blueberry pear. Loved the blueberry pear scone and the carrot, zucchini, walnut muffin. Just buy whatever on displayed in their case. Had breakfast: June with apple sausage omelette, spinach and mushroom, hash brown, jack cheese with raspberry tea scone. I guess I was in line to get today's scone and my food got cold. Hate cold food. My eating mate got scone egg sandwich with cheese. The other had blueberry pancake looked good. read more

This establishment has been a part of Berkeley for quite some time. While they are renowned for their scones, they also serve classic breakfast items like bacon, pancakes, and eggs. However, I found myself puzzled by the difference between the tea scones and regular scones, and our reserved server didn't provide much guidance, leaving me unable to make an informed choice. Unfortunately, the tea scone didn't impress me, and I was too full to try the other one. On the next visit, perhaps. BB read more

Like many Bay Area locals, I've long been familiar with Sconehenge's packaged scones as their mainstays in upscale grocers like Whole Foods and a reliable treat for my family over the years. What I didn't know until recently was that the company also operates a small brick-and-mortar café tucked away on the quieter edges of Berkeley. I finally stopped by on a Saturday with friends, and the experience lived up to the quality I expected from their grocery-store goods. To our surprise, there was no wait which is practically unheard of at any brunch spot in the Bay. We quickly ordered and split four scones among us: lemon ginger, mixed berry, blueberry, and apple cinnamon. I've sampled pretty much all of them before, but the mixed berry remains the star. Each scone has a plush, tender crumb and a distinct hexagonal shape, setting them apart from the dry, crumbly varieties you'd find in a regular degular Starbucks. Sconehenge's are soft, subtly sweet, and cakey in the best way. I also tried the scone biscuit sandwich: two eggs and two slices of cheese nestled between a scone, priced just under $12. It's not the most transcendent breakfast sandwich I've ever had, but it was hearty, satisfying, and generously portioned. Sconehenge isn't trying to be trendy or upscale by any means. It's a no-frills café with fluorescent lights and laminated menus, but when you're catching up with friends over good pastries and convo, it's all you need really. read more

My girlfriend and I were in the mood for some classic style diner food today and I happened to see Sconehenge pop up on the map. I knew of them through their scones which I regularly saw at Berkeley Bowl and was quite surprised to see they have a cafe that does traditional diner style Breakfast and lunch. We stopped by for lunch around 12:30 and the place was bustling. We didn't have to wait long and were able to be seated without 5-10 minutes. Sconehenge itself is relatively cozy with lots of tables for parties of 2-4 people. For our meal we shared a Scone (honey pecan), I got a breakfast burrito with the addition of pork link sausage and my girlfriend got a Simple Mexican Breakfast. Everything we had here was good - the scone was fresh, light, and tasted great. My breakfast burrito was awesome - very filling and just what I was looking for. My girlfriend also enjoyed her breakfast and said the rice and salsa were great. On the note of salsa, I wanna shout out like the house hot salsa which was extremely good. To me it had a tomatoey/ chipotle flavor that was perfect. I put it on almost every bite of my burrito after trying it. Other items on the menu also seemed super intriguing like the scoffle and the scone Benedict - will need to try those next time around though. Service was prompt and friendly, and value wise I would say it's pretty comparable to other diners in the area. All in all, I'd definitely recommend making a stop by here. It is the perfect spot for a solid breakfast with good food and great portions. Will be back here again and will be bringing extra scones for home next time read more

Stonehenge Bakery & Cafe is a Berkeley must. Cute diner like setting with consistent and well made delicious food. Staff here is fast friendly and fabulous. Great folks here and I have seen some of the same faces here for years! They are known for their pastries as you will find them in select grocery stores in the east bay. Specifically Berkeley Bowl. The thing I appreciate is that while so many food establishments are minimizing portions and exaggerating prices these days. You don't feel gouged when you leave. Stand up biz read more

I wish I could give this place a better review, but I left feeling incredibly disappointed. I have been wanting to try Sconehenge for a minute. It has a great location and is in close proximity to a lot of other spots I enjoy. Walking in on a Saturday morning, the restaurant is busy. A small restaurant interior filled with tables and booths flooding with people! The crowd got us excited because surely it had to be great. My friend and I asked for a table for 2 and we were just told to sit wherever. Ok, not too friendly but we get it, it's busy! We sit, make our choices, and wait to be assisted. Also took a while, but no hard feelings. Both of us ordered a Scuffle, their waffle made with scone batter. I opted for a mixed berry version, which was an additional charge. It took about 25 minutes to come out to us. And seeing it, we were disappointed. A small waffle maybe 1.5 times the size of an egg waffle comes out. Not wanting to judge a book by its cover, we dig in and it was just not good. It was doughy, like a cake missing a leavening agent. It was not flavorful, and the mixed berries did no saving. It was so doughy yet dry, it was just weird. I love scone so much, Americans style and traditional European ones. I grew up eating them. Seeing a new twist got me excited and I left disappointed and still hungry. We talked about wanting to get other items on their menu, but with this lackluster experience we didn't want to risk it. This place is more pricey and I don't want to waste money and be disappointed. Unfortunate experience and would not return sadly :( read more

Came here with my boyfriend for brunch, I ordered one of the Mexican breakfast with green onions and vanilla latte (didn't know it was double shot until we got the receipt at the end). My bf ordered a burrito with hashbrown and Spanish rice, we did not know it was double sized until we received the receipt... we wish the server could've asked us to double check, we ended up paying more than the original price for the food...... don't know if we will go back again. read more

This was a quaint little restaurant with friendly staff that greeted & helped us. They had lots of baked goods, coffee options & specials. I tried the sc'affle - the scone waffle that came with strawberries & cream. It was a little on the dry side, but the strawberries added freshness to it. My husband got the tamales & they were terrific. I'd definitely come back to try something else on the menu for breakfast or brunch! read more

The scones here are SO good! I've tried both their blueberry and raspberry ones. So soft and buttery, with the perfect ratio of flour, butter, and dried fruit. Just moist enough, not dry at all, very delicious on its own (no extra butter needed). Probably the best I've had in recent years. And of course, the name of the bakery / cafe is called Sconehenge. 5 stars!!! I haven't tried their other menu items but hope to someday, if I am back in the Berkeley area. ** Please note: I actually discovered these while I was at Whole Foods :) Then so happy to hear they have an actual bakery /cafe too! read more

I went on a Saturday afternoon for brunch and it was a little busy but you can sit down anywhere when you walk in. I ordered a latte, blueberry pancakes and the eggs benedict. The latte was average and wasn't very hot which was disappointing. The blueberry pancakes were very good and fluffy and every bite had blueberries in it which was great. The eggs benedict was smothered in sauce which I personally didn't love. I also didn't love the Canadian bacon on it I think it would've been better with regular bacon. The hashbrowns it came with were good but I would've preferred them to be salted more and crispier. I would've come back again for the pancakes and the quick service! read more

My family and I decided to try Sconehenge because it came highly recommended. I was glad to see how short of a walk it was, because I can really see this becoming a staple in my routine. It is close to the Ashby BART station, and there is street parking available. We got to the restaurant about 45 minutes after it opened, which was a great time. While we were eating, the restaurant started to fill up, so we definitely had luck on our side! We ordered several egg-based omelettes and two scones. The omelettes were excellent. I tried the salmon omelette, which was well-salted and perfectly cooked. But the scones? Magical. I loved them so much that I'm planning on returning tomorrow for some scones! Seriously, everyone should try this place! read more

Cute & very popular brunch spot that blends Mexican & American breakfast foods but nothing to write home about. Service was very busy but sweet. Attentive, filled waters, and accommodating for our large group of diners by putting together tables and chairs for us. About a 15-20 minute wait. June's Omelette ($16) - Omelette with chicken sausage, spinach, and mushrooms. For some reason mine was missing cheese, which the chef came over to inform me about but did not offer to give me any cheese or replace the meal, which I thought was odd. The cheese must carry the dish because I found it a bit unimpressive and bland. Hashbrowns were alright, if underseasoned. The scone was good, crumbly and already buttery on its own. Overall a little disappointed because I'd heard really great things but it was a pretty standard breakfast. read more

The service was good, the scones were great, and the ambience was pretty good-- more diner than bakery or cafe though. The sausage side was oddly expensive which is my only complaint.

Such a cute little diner that I can't believe I haven't tried before. You can order directly from the counter for takeout which is what I did (but will probably need to come back to try some of their other dishes). Ended up getting a latte, mixed berry scone, and a carrot zucchini muffin. The latte was okay. Maybe a little on the burnt side, but for the cost and size I'll take it. The muffin was amazing. Perfect crunchy crust and soft moist muffin and it didn't have too strong of a "carrot" taste. The scone was a bit of a letdown. It was more of the consistency of cake than a scone, but maybe one of the other flavors are better. I also didn't heat it up so maybe that was the problem. Overall, the cost of everything was very reasonable, especially for the bay area. Not going to jump back here immediately but if I find myself in the area and want a muffin I would highly consider it. read more

I have primarily come to Sconehenge for the Mexican breakfast. Overall it is a good experience, decent food, affordable, and fast. The service is friendly. The interior is a bit outdated with booths and bulky tables, but in a cute way. Their scones are great and not too sweet, but I got the impression the scones are not made in-house anymore. read more

Service was prompt, knowledgeable and helpful. We stopped for late breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed our meal, one vegetarian, two carnivores. The tea scones were fragrant. I'm gluten sensitive, my guests enjoyed theirs and mine. Each of us had an omelette, lots to choose from. I will return soon with some local friends. They close early, take note. read more

Delicious! Started with, what we call a breakfast appetizer (Blueberry/peach galette). Yummy followed by a great omelet I think it was called June's. Very good. Service was excellent I will definitely come back. Need to try their Mexican items. read more

I love eating at Sconehenge for breakfast and brunch, and then usually I buy a package or 2 of scones before I leave as well. They make all of their scones in-house from scratch. They package them to sell them in store and at Whole Foods stores on the West Coast, so you can get them there as well! My favorite is the mixed berry scone. As for the dine-in experience, I always have super friendly, quick service, whether I'm sitting outside with my dog or inside. My favorite items are still the huge breakfast burrito (I add hash browns and chorizo, which I think pair really well with the Anaheim peppers, eggs, and delicious salsa) & the huevos revueltos (I add chorizo, even though there are already a lot of rice, beans, and tortillas). I'm drooling as I write this; wish they were open all week so I could indulge whenever I wanted! Anyway, I tend to stick to my favorites, but I have come with friends who order and love the simple Mexican breakfast, omelettes, and tofu scrambles. Portions, whether for the great food or the delicious hot chocolates, are very generous and good value for the price compared to other brunch places I frequent in the Bay Area. Make sure to grab some [mixed berry] scones on your way out too! read more

I have come to love this place. The blueberry pancake is my sub for toast and I tried the pork machacha scramble today. It was fire.

We used to come here for years regularly pre-Covid. Unfortunately, all the sauces have gotten too spicy! Seriously, give people a choice to add spice at the table or on the menu.
