Had the blueberry scone and double Mocha which was delicious! The homemade jam is also delicious with the scone. The huevos rancheros was too hearty for my taste, and the beans were not my favorite. I really liked the hash browns and tortillas. I think what makes the food great here is the feeling of homemade food and a laid back diner-like ambiance. read more

Came here one morning and was seated promptly. The server was nice, but besides taking our order and delivering our food we never saw him. I had myself the huevos rancheros. Personally, I've never tried the scones so I cannot comment on them. Maybe I should have since it probably is their specialty. So along with my huevos rancheros was supposed to be a side of tortillas as well as some salsa that I requested. I started eating before he brought them because I was starving and figured they would be coming out some time soon. About 3/4 of my meal was gone when he finally came, but not with anything in hand. He asked me if I still wanted the tortillas or salsa. UHMMM YAAA LIKE I NEED IT NOW??? Maybe I can take the tortillas and just throw salsa in them and eat it like that. THANKS GUY! The food was decent, but it sure could have been a lot better with those tortillas and salsa. read more

Sconehenge reminds me of a casual mom 'n pop, home style diner from the '80s or '90s. You know, the kind you see in movies. A misunderstood guy sorts through his muddled thoughts with his closest pal over a strong cup of coffee and bacon. Yeah, one of those :p My friend and I stopped by after a jaunt at our favorite grocery store, Berkeley Bowl (It's only one block away). We took a seat at the nearest booth after some kind patrons told us it's a seat-yourself-and-grab-your-own-menu sort of deal here. After a few minutes perusing the menu, a somewhat sleepy waitress moseyed over and took our orders. She fumbled a little with remembering which scones were available for the day, but quickly regained composure and was alert and friendly when she brought our water, scones, and plates. I ordered a scrumptious raspberry tea scone ($1.15) to accompany my simple Mexican breakfast ($5.25, including rice, beans, three tortillas, a delectable hot sauce, and roasted fresh tomato salsa) with two added eggs ($2). The scone was small, buttery, and just the right ratio of fluffy to dense. It had a tasty raspberry flavor that went well with a small pat of butter. My Mexican breakfast was SO delicious. I'm not used to having this style of breakfast, so it was a real treat. I will be back again to try more Mexican breakfast delicacies at this gem of a restaurant. It's rather rare to find such a wholesome, delicious, and affordable breakfast in the Mexican category, in Berkeley (as far as I know). I think Sconehenge may have sparked an obsession for Mexican breakfast food in me. Oh dear. TAKE AWAY POINTS: 1) The Simple Mexican Breakfast is a sure fire excellent choice. 2) Come to Sconehenge early - they close at 2:30PM! 3) If you come and they are closed, don't fret. Berkeley Bowl sells their scones. 4) $10 minimum for Visa and MasterCard. read more

Sconehenge Bakery & Cafe - Simple Mexican Breakfast with Two Over-Medium Eggs! ($7.25) - Bakeries Near Me - Berkeley, California

See all

I loved this place, it was pretty packed on Sunday for brunch so we sat at the "bar" which was great because we got to watch them cook and stuff. Anyways my friend and I ordered the blueberry pancakes which were amazing btw, I also ordered an egg and hash brown on the side. Every was amazing and the customer service is great. I will for sure come back here for these pancakes and maybe not eat so much and have space for a scone. read more

It's good but I noticed that they're not consistent. I went in there by myself and got the simple breakfast. It was really good and I brought my girlfriend to try it out and the second time it wasn't that great. The first time there were only Latinos working there but the second time there was other people and I guess they couldn't figure out how to work together to make the food taste good. read more

This is my family's favorite breakfast place. The owner & staff are wonderful. It's the most kid-friendly breakfast place I have found in Berkeley/Oakland. There is hardly ever a wait and if we do have to wait, it's not for long. The food is reliably good, though not spectacular. Get the fresh scones. read more

I used to Love! this place. Love! And now, meh? It just tastes really bland. But I used to Love! it so I am sticking with four stars and I hope they read this and add a little more pizazz to their recipes. If they are indeed reading this review, I used to get the Huevos Revueltos and they were AWESOME. Eggs scrambled with chillies, tomatoes and tortilla strips served with rice, beans and tortillas. And I would get them with a side of asadero cheese. Fix them please. read more

This little diner is one of the best, least pretentious, breakfast/brunch spots in the East Bay. They try to fix your food the way you ask for it--- isn't that amazing? The waitstaff are friendly and competent---- just amazing! The prices are reasonable, considering it's Berkeley. The ambiance is "neighborhood"--- people don't go there to be seen, they go there to eat. And the food is very good, consistently good. American diner food, Mexican breakfast (good salsa!), and high quality bakery stuff at the cash register. Way to go, folks. read more

Best tea scones I've ever had. Flaky, soft, rich, buttery goodness. It kills me that they only sell a bag of 4, otherwise I would buy boxes at a time. read more

A modest diner that does breakfast right! I had the two eggs and ham combo, and although simple, everything was cooked well. Hashbrowns were perfectly crispy, not soggy or too oily, and ham was sliced nice and thick. The self-seating system and attentive servers make this a great place to come if you want to have a hearty meal in a short amount of time. read more

There are 3 things you should know about me: I LOVE breakfast, I have a weird obsession with scones, and I enjoy puns. Suffice it to say I was delighted when I found out about Sconehenge. I finally had a chance to go this past weekend, and let me just say this place is everything I've dreamed of and more. The food is affordable (about $9 for an omelette, hashbrowns, and a scone), the portions are large, and they offer a variety of breakfast foods from omelettes to breakfast burritos. If you're a hardcore breakfast and/or scone fanatic, you should definitely check it out! read more

Went back for breakfast yesterday with my wife. We walked in the rain, and had a great little breakfast. Reasonable prices, and their omelettes are really good and hearty. The only complaint we had was that they gave such a tiny amount of hash browns to my wife with her tofu scramble. The good news is that they now seem to do a better job of keeping their scones stocked. read more

We go here every week. The pancakes are so good. And their portions are huge. We usually go right when it open because it's usually ridiculously busy around 9 or 10 on weekends. read more

Who was okay service really bad service never wear a stiff I needed anything else just for service attitude like I don't give a s*** waitresses talking to waitresses when they should have been working with customers and ask him if they wanted anything read more

Stopped to get my grand daughters breakfast before school. Our first time at this restaurant and will dine here again. The pancake special was enough to feed them both ages 3 & 4. Love that they have fresh squeezed orange juice and were willing to allow them to share both breakfast and juice. I had the Texas omelet which was good and came with hash browns and toast. Staff very friendly. read more

Nice vibe but really strange place. Given the name, I thought that 1) they might perhaps offer scones on the menu, and 2) they would offer an English style tea and pastries experience. Neither of these turns out to be true. The menu is heavily Mexican (not bad, just surprising) and you have to ask for scones as they aren't offered anywhere. The scones aren't that good (more like a bland biscuit than a buttery pastry), so don't bother. The English muffins are made on-site and are really tasty. The space is nice and light and the staff are very friendly, and I might eat there if I happened to be in the neighborhood, but I wouldn't go out of my way as there really aren't many standouts on the menu. read more

Love the Scones, Omelettes, jams, and salsa. Last week had bad luck with their Chorizo and Eggs.

The breakfast is awesome, the location is a little tough, but it is a fantastic brunch or late breakfast place. Highly recommend the huevos chorizo! read more

Came here for brunch. Boy were we disappointed. First of all they only had one scone of the day. Nothing else. Scone was good but nothing to write home about. Brunch was standard. Maybe the mexican breakfast is ok. But regular breakfast is just regular. read more

Are you looking for great tasting scones and english muffins? Sconehenge is the place! They also sell their bakery items at local markets. Delicious... read more

Not a fancy place but is cute and classic. :) The staff are super friendly. We got a vegetarian omelet and the buttermilk pancake. Yum! Not the highest quality ingredients or anything/not a "hippy" place, but a great brunch spot if you want something simple to start your day with. read more

I've been going to this place for years. The food is excellent. The things I like about this place is the specials are always changing and there are also healthy choices to order like fresh fish. The portions are definitely worth the price which is very important for someone like me who loves food! read more

Lovely breakfast. Light and fluffy scrambled eggs, delicious sausage, crispy hashbrowns, excellent scones. Service was excellent, room is light and airy with big windows. read more

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

Aw the Sconehenge! I cannot say enough about this place. First of all, the SCONES are phenomenal, and are made fresh. Plus, there are a variety of flavors, each served with an unbeatable jam! The pancakes are served in a very traditional fashion, but pack a flavor that is so simple, yet so sexy. I can't rave enough about these pancakes. Actually, their simple awesomeness is reflective of the place's total vibe: basics done EXTREMELY well. Go visit this place, you won't be disappointed. read more

Large, tasty portions. Great for a no-frills "classic" breakfast blissfully free of the overpricing and wait times which seem to plague some of the more well-known Berkeley breakfast joints. read more

On a weekday just before lunchtime, I came to Stonehenge craving for an omelette. The overall experience was wonderful. I am lucky to find such such a cafe where not only the portions were large and the food was great, but also the staff the staff was very courteous and accommodating. The staff asked if the food was ok, always asked if I want more coffee and allowed me to substitute different meats in the omelette. I tried their sample of tea scones and it was delicious. It was moist and fresh. read more

This place was just.....meh. Super mediocre, food-wise and service-wise. The store bought version of the Sconehenge scones are just as good as the fresh "scone of the day" here. Glad I checked it off my list, but prob not heading back read more

I'm Mexican and wouldn't order any of the Mexican breakfast plates. The beans were dry and you can tell the red sauce is made with canned tomatoes. Portions are generous and scones are really good. The servers are friendly. I did not try the pancakes. I would only return to get scones to go as those of us who live in this area know that Berkeley and Oakland have much better brunch places. read more

It is true, they have the best scones I've ever tasted. I had their Jane's omelette with their chicken apple sausage which was delicious. Their hash browns were nice and crispy as well. They had hot sauce to accompany your dish which was also delicious. My boyfriend got the huevos rancheros which I thought was better than average. I'm giving them 4 stars because I didn't really like his dish, but everything else was 5 stars! Great price, service, and scones are to die for. I don't know why I didn't grab a couple to go. read more

Requested booth for our party, and was placed on the waiting list. Stood outside for twenty minutes, along comes a party of six that placed there name at the bottom of the waiting list. Same woman that owns the business, and was handeling this whole situation, called for the party of six to receive our booth. Right away, I told her we were up next, and that the other party had only been there three minutes! Her response was that she controls the seating, I told her this was unfair. She replied that's the way it is, so I told her we would leave & never return. They had placed two chairs next to the booth, so the party of six could be seated. This woman (asain woman) is the owner, we are people of color & felt heavily disrespected. We will never dine at this location again in life, and will spread the word of how the owner is greedy & racist. read more

As true 100% Mexicans, we approve of the Mexican breakfast served at this location. It is the definition of authenticity. The real deal! In addition, the attendant was incredibly attentive, professional and nice. Made our experience a pleasant one to remember. We encourage you all to support businesses such as this one. A must visit if you are in the Berkeley area. Also, you must try the jam (with the english muffin)! Note: this is my very first review... testament to how BOMB this place is. read more

I've updated my review to bump Sconehenge up to five stars. The only thing holding it back was the service, which has improved. I've never ordered the same thing twice, and I've been impressed with every dish I've had. I've tried the traditional American breakfast (ham and eggs), the traditional Mexican breakfast (huevos rancheros), omelettes, tamales and burritos, and I've been satisfied every time! read more

A cute, casual, easygoing cafe with great Mexican breakfasts. The house salsa is really fantastic. It's smoky and flavorful, with good heat but not too spicy. I want to slather it on everything. Very good egg dishes. Fat omelettes, nice scrambles. The scones are very good. The coffee is decent. The staff is attentive if you are eating at the counter, but it can be hard to get a server's attention if you're eating at a table when the place is crowded (on a football saturday). Overall, Sconehenge is my local favorite for simple casual breakfast. read more

Was a bit early to my Honda service appointment so I headed into the cafe ordered,waiter noticed me right away and brought me a menu and offered me coffee,had already seen the menu before going in so I ordered huevos con chorizo and a short stack of blueberry pancakes not knowing how big the portions were which are huge.huevos come with a choice of flour or corn tortillas I got flour,good tortillas not dry or anything,eggs were great came with a side of pintos witch shredded cheddar and rice,asked waiter for some fresh salsa and it was great a bit mild but good flavor,midway through my meal the waiter offered me a cup of water which felt like he read my mind because I was about to ask for one,so due to the portion being huge I decided not to finish beans and rice because I got pancakes and they were almost as big as the plate should have took pics but I was hungry,blueberrys tasted fresh and pancakes were delicious.food was a 10 service was a 10 don't know the waiters name but his service was one of a kind. read more

3 stars for the brunch (eh, nothing to write home about, just acceptable) but 5 stars for the scones and shortcakes! ok, mostly the shortcakes. omg they are the yummiest ever... tender, moist, just dense enough... they're perfect with whipped cream and berries (i like blueberries and/or strawberries). i got my shortcakes at berkeley bowl but have seen the scones at whole foods too. read more

OH MY! Their scones are no joke. I'm not a huge fan of scones, beucase they tend to be really dry, but theirs weren't. Also, their menu was HUGE! they had a great variety. They had traditional American breakfast, breakfast with a more Latin influence, and even a great Lunch menu. The staff did seem a tad uppidy, but i didn't really take it personally. I would totally go back here again. I really had a nice, healthy breakfast. read more

Wonderful pancakes and I love a free scone sample. Our tofu scramble wasn't quite scrambled, but enjoyable once we pressed/scrambled it with a fork. Their salsa on the side is to die for ! A bit on the pricier side. read more

Bad Service. Okay food. Bad tea. I have been wanting to try this place for awhile. A friend and I stopped in for a scone and tea. After we ordered, we waited some time for the mug of tea. Even though we asked for sugar and cream when we ordered, the waitress did not bring them with the tea. Then the cream came and we asked again for the sugar. The tea was almost cold before we got the sugar, which only had 2 packets in it and we had to ask for more. We waited for the scones. And waited. The guy at the next table to us who arrived AFTER we did got a whole breakfast delivered (eggs, hash browns, etc.) still no scones for us. All they had to do was pull them out of the bakery display case 4 feet from us and plate them! Another table of later comers was served a complete meal. Still no scone. I finally went to the counter and asked them to pull out the scones we ordered. Then they insisted on walking all the way around the counter to drop them off at our table than just hand them to me like I asked. Our waitress was slow and inattentive. She was moving constantly but not with any sense of purpose. She did chat with one table a lot while we were waiting for our food. She just did not seem to be vested in her job there. Neither was anyone else who didn't seem to notice that she was slowing down the whole room. No one was rude, the service was slow. However no one was friendly or inviting, the service was not fast or efficient. The scone was good, not great. The tea was a stale bag in a small mug. You would think that a name like "Sconehenge" they would have amazing scones in many selections (there were only 3 kinds), they would do great coffee and tea to accompany the scones, and the hospitality would be at least average. I will keep looking for a good morning treat with hot beverage place. This is not it. read more

I have searched for years in the United States for the perfect English scone. Most places feel is necessary to dump a pound of sugar or drizzle a sugar icing on a scone which in my opinion ruins a good scone. I visited the Bay area last August and found these wonderful, true to the British scone. I love them. Just came back from the Bay area again and purchased as many as I could carry to bring home. These are so close if not exactly like what I get in the UK. Do yourself a favor and find these, eat them and KNOW what a real scone is all about read more

I didn't try the scones but the other breakfast food left a lot to be desired. Nothing on the menu stood out so I ordered the special french toast. The restaurant seemed to think that a couple of pieces of bread covered in store-bought whipped cream and unripe strawberries was special. In addition, the tables were so close to each other, I was practically sitting on my neighbor. With so many other great breakfast places in Berkeley, I can't see myself going back. read more
