Sconehenge Bakery & Cafe - I've been coming here for years and it still has that classic taste! - Bakeries Near Me - Berkeley, California

There is absolutely no doubt that the food here is amazing. I ordered the scone of the day which happened to be a whole-wheat scone with a mixed berry filling, two things my nutritionist said I need more of. It's like it was mean to be. I also ordered the veggie sandwich, and had them put it on whole-wheat bread instead of the baguette that it is normally on. The sandwich tasted freaking amazing, and the side salad I ordered with it was perfect. The salad made up about 2/3 of my plate, which is great, and it was perfectly pre-dressed. Where they succeed in food, they fail in service. After about a 10 to 15-minute wait we were finally approached. And it's not like they didn't see us there, because the entire wait we were being stared at by every one of the staff. When our order was finally taken, the server was very friendly about it. The same ridiculous wait happened once more as I was trying to pay. The same server picked up my card and then disappeared for about another 10 to 15 minutes. When we finally asked about my card she informed us that it was up at the register. Judging from this small interaction it's clear they don't have much of a regard for the customers, at least not on this day. I do love the interior. It feels very early 90's, both in the décor and the furniture. This place is clearly popular; however, I don't see a return visit from me in the future. read more

Sconehenge Bakery & Cafe - Veggie Sandwich with a side salad and their scone of the day: wholewheat mix berry - Bakeries Near Me - Berkeley, California

I used to come here religiously and then life changed and routines were disrupted and then I come back and it is the same perfect little place as before. The food is amazing, the staff is the same. I love seeing how well everyone works together. It is so family friendly and this place has the BEST hot sauce in the little plastic containers, it is addictive. I always love taking home some baked goods. read more

On vacation so this was our first time here. Very cool atmosphere. The wait staff was great and the food was amazing. I had the June's omelette so good. The honey pecan scone was the best I've ever had. Delicious read more

Grab a menu and sit down! Or wander in and look lost and someone will help you! Unpretentious very local and cozy Mocha is thick and rich, piping hot Blueberry pancakes are super good. Plenty of whole blueberries (not mushy pieces but whole blueberries), fluffy but crisped on the edges. Spanish omelette, dense eggs, tons of salsa, arguably too much for some people. Hash browns I would see if they can do it extra crispy next time. Was quiet before 9ish on a Sunday morning but quickly got busier. read more

Well, that was just fantastic! The americanos were made with really high quality coffee beans. The pecan roll was so cinnamon-y and not too sweet. We both had scrambles with hashbrowns. Huge portions and delicious. And we were delighted that the english muffins were housemade. We will go back! Only 4 stars because I didn't see much accommodation for vegan options which limits my ability to take my vegan kids. It could've been a little cleaner but we were there during a busy time. The staff was so friendly! I love this place! read more

Cute classic cafe. Their food is like Mexican food meets brunch. They have a lot of popular dishes. My family and I ordered two omelets and an eggs benedict. The servings are really big and super filling. I ordered a scone since it seems like that's one of their specialities and in their name. I was recommended the peach scone that day and it was delicious. It just melts in your mouth... Servers were super nice and this place is always full. I'm glad I found this on yelp! read more

This place is great, so glad I started coming here! Their pumpkin muffins and pecan rolls are fire. Their eggs benny are good too. Such a great place for breakfast! read more

Love this place! The service is great and food is delicious. The space can be updated but the food is good enough that keep us coming back. read more

Amazing spot for breakfast!! Loved everything that came to table -- scones, French toast, blueberry pancake, hash browns and breakfast burrito! I tried everyone's dishes!! Yum! Attentive staff lots of water and coffee refills. And scones to go great finish! read more

Sconehenge is my go to breakfast diner in Berkeley. They have delicious egg burritos. I typically only get that, but recently tried their chocolate chip pancake as well. One pancake is a pretty decent size. It's really fresh, and it was delicious. You can seat yourself, just grab a menu at the door on your way in. Hours are limited, so plan accordingly. This is also a great spot to bring your laptop and get some work done while you have your breakfast/lunch and power through some emails. read more

After a visit to Berkeley Bowl on a rainy Sunday morning, we were hungry. (I like visiting neat grocery store with an appetite!) The BB lot was a zoo, so we parked right next to this little diner. I saw they had American and Mexican food--yay! It was a pleasant atmosphere, nice diverse crowd. The service was friendly, despite being busy. My biggest reason for the lower rating was the food. It was just boring. I had the huevos revueltos. They were boring. No flavor. Mexican rice was dry. Plain pinto beans out of a can. No spices. The salsa fresca I got as a side order was pretty flavorless also. Jack had eggs, ham, hash browns. All very boring. Whereas diners are not really known for faboo flavor explosions, when I compare this to our Alameda diners, the South Shore Cafe, Alberts, or Marti's, this Berkeley place just doesn't even come close. read more

Really impressed by this place. Definitely in my weekend breakfast rotation now. When we walked in the server made eye contact with me and beckoned for us to come sit down at the table. They keep the coffee flowing. Homemade scones- so soft and moist Homemade hot sauce- so bomb read more

I have been DYING to check this place out, but it is so difficult to get me out of bed before noon (just ask my boyfriend). Across the street at Berkeley Bowl, they sell Sconehenge baked goods and I have been splitting creme cheese chocolate brownies with my dad for years, so of course I had to try its' origins. The place was bumpin' at 10 am on a Saturday, but there was no wait. Baba and I got a nice little booth by the window and got menus quickly. I was still quite tired from the night before (consisting of a birthday bonanza for my main squeeze) so I just got a bagel and a side of bacon, while Baba got eggs Benedict. While my food is hard to mess up, the eggs Benedict (which I sneakily chomped) was good, but not the best. Service was a bit sparse, but friendly. I was far more intrigued by the brownies than the actual food at the diner. It was alright, but nothing to write home about. read more

They make delicious, albeit pricey, scones. They sell them at Lunardis and Whole Foods. Decided to make the trek to Berkeley to get them fresh from the source. We got Orange, Ginger Lemon and Mixed berry. Never thought to check the expiration dates but boy I should have. The orange scones had a 6/10 date (today is 6/9). They would be yanked from the shelves at Whole Foods. I know because my son works there and sometimes brings a pack home that has been yanked. The other two were marked for 6/13 and 6/16, respectively. If you buy scones, don't trust them to give you fresh packs. Check before you leave the store. Now we just need to eat them in order of their freshness dates. read more

Yummy grilled cheese, and of course the delicious scones- best I've ever had! A few outdoor tables as well :)

I know I know I know... I always rave about Sconehenge. First off, just the name in itself is FAB. U. Lous. It reminds me of one of my favorite groups.. Queens of the Stone Age. Weird huh? I guess the word Scone and Stone just seem to click in my whirling mind of lyrics and words. Anyhow, yea, I just adore their homemade scones. They're everywhere, even sold at my nearby market, the Village Market! They've always got samples, and you also get to sub your toast for a scone of your choice, or the IN HOUSE ENGLISH MUFFIN! BLUEEEEEEEY BEARRRRREEE PANCAKE! Fresh squeezed OJ. BEST SERVICE. KIND DINERS. EVERYONE IS SIMPLE, and just crowd here to eat the FRESH FOOD! The veggies are NEVER EVER frozen. Al dente veggies, that have a bit of a soft snap to them. The in house hot sauce... oh my, sooooooooooo great. Not too salty, never sweet... just quite nice! EGGS DONE RIGHT. When a person can make eggs of all sizes and types... YOU'RE LEGIT. I must admit, I'm the queen of eggs galore. I make omelets perfectly. Here, my eggs come out, the way I need them to come out, on whichever day, when I feel like a hard boiled, soft to medium boiled, runny soft scrambled, poached medium, soft, soft to medium... egg white omelet or the yellow fever omelet... etc..... Great cheese selection too. They make everything they way YOU want it. There's no pretentious stubborn 'I'm sorry but the cook doesn't feel that food should be paired with that.' or 'No. We don't change anything.' (even when my 'changes' are just... can u just not include that ingredient, since it is made to order?) It's not mad science to NOT include a simple ingredient. Okay, this is residual anger from some other uppity joint... ANYHOW... yup yup... clean food, decent food, delicious food, and just... what's the scone for today? :P read more

I came here with a friend looking for the closest sit down brunch spot from my home. This place was it! Coming in we didn't really understand how the seating or ordering worked which was confusing but it was slow so we just looked around and copied what everyone else did. Later I realized that when its busier you wait to be seated by the owner who is this really sweet Asian woman. If it's slow you can go ahead and sit at an open table and stare at waiters so they notice you're there haha! Other than the confusing first but the service from then on was really great. This place has a comforting aura and the people that work here make you feel even more at home. Look around and you'll see a wide array of people from cal athletes to families to hipsters. Very welcoming! The food was amazing. Nothing fancy and it hit the spot. I had the French toast special which came with strawberries, whipped cream and crispy serving of chicken apple sausage. YUM. I also decided to grab some hash browns and sour cream (I like to add that to the taters) which were great but just remember to shake salt atop right when you get them. Also asks for hot sauce and they have me their house made salsa which was really delicious! Had a smokey chipotle flavor. They also have jams and orange marmalade if that's your fancy. My friend ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries which did no disappoint! I had a bite and it was gooooood. If you're in the area you'll notice that there aren't many brunch spots around. I recommend this spot and will most definitely be back myself. Also the lines are not nearly as bad as la note or Venus! read more

Went back with a friend, and this time I ordered Spanish omelete. Their hashbrown!!! Perfectly crispy and still not losing that potato texture (so not to the point of completely dry/burnt/crunchy). It came with a choice of some carb (bagel, toast, muffin, scone). I went for the scone and they had a blueberry mango scone that was buttery and fluffy. My friend ordered Huevos Revueltos and he rly liked them too! The yelp pics helped me choosing a dish with smaller portion size. I want to come back to try other items! :D read more

It is busy for a good reason, delicious! Worth waiting for a table. The list of freshly made scones makes it difficult to decide, we each ordered a scone with our eggs and took another one home. The coffee is fresh, mocha was made to order. Small parking lot, lots of street parking. They close early, give yourself a little time to enjoy their freshly prepared dishes. read more

As a breakfast and brunch aficionado, I have loved and lost many, many brunch restaurants to the cold and callous world we live in. Changes in chefs, servers, food suppliers and even ownership have left me bruised and battered from a lifetime of finding reliable blueberry pancakes--only to have them snatched away from me when I start to count on them. All of this led me to being pretty damn hesitant when I started visiting Sconehenge. But over time, I realized even if the servers themselves change (S.I.P. to the doll that used to always be there when I come and salud to the new totally gorge' lady I get to tip!), the service and food remains unscathed. Whether I'm plowing through the best blueberry pancakes or strawberry French toast I've ever had (how do they do that!?), I can count on Sconehenge to have enough space for me to snag a seat at the bar counter if they're busy or to let me selfishly take up a whole four-top table all by my damn self. The cooks here make some of the best and most flavorful combinations and creations I've ever had. Plus, they are the ONLY place that knows what the hell I mean when I say "two eggs scrambled EXTRA hard with Jack cheese", earning them a place in my heart and pocketbook forever. read more

Very good customer service ! I got the French toast special , it was amazing! It was filling & very affordable in price I will return to try more food soon read more

Sconehenge Bakery & Cafe - Bakeries Near Me - Berkeley, California

This place is incredible. Great service, kind people, hygienic during COVID, and very very very tasty food. Scones are light and fresh. Pancakes are perfect. Eggs Benedict with hash browns was the best i've had - served on a fresh english muffin with plenty of incredible hollandaise sauce. Go here, tip heavily!!!!!!!!!! read more

Sconehenge Bakery & Cafe - this was sausage with egg ... - Bakeries Near Me - Berkeley, California

Updating review after our second visit here from 4 to 3 The lattes are ok - definitely not the best I've had in Berkeley. I had the special mushroom scramble with a whole wheat banana pecan scone. Pretty delicious. Definitely recommend their special ketchup hot sauce mixture with the eggs and hash browns. Great location being right on Shattuck near Berkeley Bowl. It's not the biggest place ever so just consider when coming during peak hours. Be prepared to wait. While the food was good, I was pretty unimpressed with the service. Mind you the place was busy since we got there around 10am but we had to wait 15 minutes after we were done to get the check. I was also a bit surprised that mid meal one of the servers just took our salt and pepper without asking if we were done. I'm not normally one to complain about that stuff but I thought it was weird. I'll probably be back eventually but not in a huge rush. read more

Sconehenge Bakery & Cafe - Menu specials 10/22 - Bakeries Near Me - Berkeley, California

Came for breakfast ...... Again. Got O.K. food ..... Again. Got mediocre service ...... Again Gave them 3 stars ..... Again Yeah, gotta stick with my original review. Eggs were done perfectly! Ice tea was brewed spot on. Hash browns were cooked good but tasteless. Bacon (4 slices was the thick baked in the oven variety, right between crisp and tender, not greasy. Toast was uneven and blah! The lunch menu looks quite good. I'm going to try again and see how they do it in the afternoon. * Posted a pic of my breakfast. $8.75 read more

Sconehenge Bakery & Cafe - Bacon & Eggs ....... : I - Bakeries Near Me - Berkeley, California

If you're looking for old school american greasy spoon breakfast, you wont get it here! In fact you'll get worse! I got a simple breakfast of scrambled eggs and blueberry pancakes. The eggs were extremly dry and tasteless. And after three bites of the pancakes i almost gaged. There was enough yeast in these to explode in my stomach making me full immediately and eating more would make me hurl!! Alot of these older cafes have been sold off and the menu converted to "Cal- Mex". Thus it you want anything with salsa in/on it to cover up its real taste, you might find lots of items on the menu. Dont order anything here with pure American origin. read more

Such a cute cafe! The scones were yummy and would definitely recommend this place. Ordered the June's omelet and the blueberry pancake and have to say that it was delicious! read more

Sconehenge Bakery & Cafe - Mixed berry scones - Bakeries Near Me - Berkeley, California

This is our go-to place for Saturday morning breakfast (and we do a lot of Saturday morning breakfasts). Interesting ethnic mix of foods: (1) terrific homemade scones and English muffins; and (2) authentic (to our taste) Mexican cooking. My wife always has the breakfast burrito, and I experiment up and down the menu, and am almost never disappointed (huevo rancheros, huevo de la Casa; tamales; pork chop breakfast; sometimes even -- pancakes). Bottomless coffee; friendly get-to-know you wait staff; free scone or pastry sample as you pay the cashier. read more

Sconehenge Bakery & Cafe - Breakfast last Saturday... - Bakeries Near Me - Berkeley, California

Every time I walked to Berkeley Bowl, I always spared a wistful glance at Sconehenge, hoping that one day I would be able to step foot inside. One fateful day (or really, any day before 2:30pm), the pearly gates were open! As I took my first step inside I was expecting scones galore but most certainly NOT a Mexican breakfast spot. Some of the helpful patrons there saw us looking around curiously and told us to take a menu and to seat ourselves. (It'd be nice if there was one of those stand-alone signs that told us to do so. We found out later there's a sign by the menus, but it's taped BEHIND the door.) I loved that the breakfast options come with a choice of toast or scone, and well - it's not called Toasthenge! The scone flavors change e'eryday: blueberry, raspberry, honey pecan, and a couple others were offered when I went. Super fluffy and sweet, the scone was sure to please. All in all, the food was decent and the portions were large. June's Omelette (chock full of Monterey Jack cheese, spinach, chicken apple sausage, and mushrooms) is tasty on its own but it's delicious squared after adding some of Sconehenge's super special red sauce! Verdict: I'd love to come back to try their Mexican breakfasts (chilaquiles, anyone?), but the hours are pretty limited. This is definitely one of Berkeley's better kept secrets. read more

The good: Service was fast. Food came out quickly. Orange juice was delicious. Hot sauce and french fries were good. I had a rueben and it was pretty good. On par with other good Ruebens i have had. The bad: Mexican veggie omelette was sub par. Very bland. Apple Scone was not really a scone at all.. It was like a bun with cinnamon in it. It was stale and also kind of tasteless. This place is pretty expensive so i am hesitant to recommend to friends now that I know it is hit or miss. read more

Sconehenge Bakery & Cafe - The veggie omelette. Veggies had no taste... - Bakeries Near Me - Berkeley, California

The only good thing you can order is the chorizo with eggs and a scone. Aside from that eating anything else feels like your in a twilight zone because nothing has flavor. Everything looks delicious and the presentation is great but as soon as you take a bite you taste nothing. I honestly was amazed to see how busy this place is after tasting the food. Its honestly like that one episode of spongebob where the burgers are made out of grey goop but look very presentable. I've never even written a yelp review before, I'm 21 and think this app is for boomers but this food was so bad I had to do it to them. I honestly want to kno if this place is a money laundering scheme, the food was that bad. Service is good though. read more

Cute find in Berkeley! Had to wait for my BF while he dealt with Honda next door so I waited at this Cafe. Boy, am I glad I did! Started out with a Blueberry Muffin and a giant glass of real cold Ice Tea. I was surprised at how good the muffin tasted! And you could tell that they actually brewed the tea. My BF finally came back and he wanted to go somewhere else for lunch. I've been sitting here smelling all the delicious food and watching what came out of the kitchen and I'm like, "No Way are we leaving!" Lunch was on spot! Coming back to try out breakfast!! read more

This place has some of the best baked goods in the area. They also have a full menu for breakfast and lunch with both traditional American and Mexican favorites. I had the Nopales (cactus) scramble with rice and beans, and it gave me enough fuel for the rest of the day. Happy to have another good breakfast place on my list. read more

Sconehenge Berkeley, California 10am Monday 13th August 2012 Four Stars So I have to take back my statement that Northern California does not have any good Mexican food, because Sconehenge has proven me wrong. First off, you seat yourself and grab your own menus. Second, they baked their own scones which cost $1.75. Third, they make great breakfast Mexican food. I had the Chilaquile Rojo which was a great combination of Eggs, Rancheros Sauce, Tortilla Chips, Rice, Beans, and Cheese. The side salsa had a great flavor and added an intense amount of heat. Great Mexican Breakfast! read more

The special burrito plate of the day came out with meat that was cold. They brought it back out after just microwaving the whole plate. If the chef can't even be bothered to cook the special on the day they serve it... I can only imagine the rest of the menu. Probably should have stuck to a breakfast item but I'll never be back to find out. read more

THE SCONES! I didn't have them here. I bought them at Whole Foods. Raspberry. Two bags of them. 4 scones in each. $6 a bag. They were so good. I honestly can't stop thinking about them. I'd get them all the time if they had an outpost in Toronto. Before Sconehenge, I thought scones were dry and bland and sad. These were like a crossbreed between a muffin and a biscuit. Not dry, not hard, and distinctly buttery. My own gripe is I wish there was a tad bit more fruit. I also wish I had more flavors, but there are only so many scones one can eat on a one week vacation. Perhaps next time I should bring some back to Toronto with me. Hrm... read more

I've been on a scone kick lately, so stopping into Sconehenge for breakfast and pastries was absolutely necessary. We had a blueberry-pear scone an apple turnover, mimosa and coffees, the Louisiana sausage breakfast and French toast with berries and bacon. The scone was light, had a tender crumb and the perfect level of sweetness and the turnover was fresh, buttery and flaky. Both breakfast dishes were delicious and my mimosa was nice and generous. Sconehenge will be a new regular brunch spot. read more

A great place for brunch. Unlike popular places such as La Note and Venus that have an hour long wait, you can almost always immediately find a seat. The pancakes are delightful--crispy on the outside while fluffy on the inside. One of the servers one time commented, "I don't know how they do it!" As expected from the name of the place, the scones are also quite good. I usually never stray from the pancakes, but the huevos con chorizo are also good. I tried the waffle with strawberries and cream recently. It had a funny taste to it that I can't quite put my finger on (maybe too much butter?), and it somewhat clashed with the sweet strawberries and cream. If their waffles always taste like that, I wouldn't recommend them. Be aware that they have a $10 minimum charge for the use of cards. read more
