    Very accommodating and warm feeling. This is a perfect place to meet up with a close friend or family member. I was seated immediately and the menu was easy to order off of. The staff were quick and helpful and efficient. I loved the food very classic American diner style. 10/10 will be back. Easy parking too right out front.

    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?

    What went well? EVERYTHING! We had to go to Walgreens to get our prescription but we were told to return in sn hour do we went in sesrch of a cafe and discovered SCONEHENGE Bakery & Cafe! We had an outstandingly delicious brunch! I had Huevos Rancheros that was fantastic! My partner had one of their fabulous egg breakfasts with delicious hash browns! And we ordered a few scones to take home! And we can't wait to return!

    Sconehenge Bakery and Café Berkeley review: A vision in my mind. The mid '80s and you've been up all night barhopping/dancing working on your early morning hangover. As pre-dawn approaches you go in search of a spot to tame the wild beast within. Hair starts to appear all over your body and you're ready to Howl at the moon. Bam! Sconehenge appears. A brackish fete', copious portions of tolerable provisions at a premium price. A metaphorical sponge for your evening of debauchery. May I suggest a blueberry pancake as BIG as the plate? Or, a nice tall glass of "freshly squeezed orange juice" prepared earlier in the day? Or maybe a nice grilled cheese sandwich with avocado and french fries on rye bread? No James Beard or Zagat awards posted here. Just all American Diner fare for the culinary nescient. Denny's step-cousin without the grand slam. Lacking in aesthetic but gets to the point and fills up your tummy. A testament to build it and they will come, and come they do, sans their taste buds shattered long ago from too much sodium chloride and "Jack and Coke". In the sea of banality, this is no exception, in fact maybe the benchmark? Grab a bag or two of their scones on the way out (which are sold at many a grocery store) their salient point and for around six bucks a bag this is a good value, I like the ginger. After all, Scone is in their name and we're not in Salisbury Plain. A staff of very professional, hard-working folks ready to serve you. As always, tip generou$ly!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    mixed berry scoffle, weird and not good sadly :(

    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 :(

Apparently you're not allowed to ask this restaurant how much they charge for events unless you're face to face. This lady has absolutely no idea how to run a restaurant.

Definitely one of my favorite things I've had for brunch in Berkeley, and I'd happily come back for the pork jowl!

The workers and the owner were all very kind and welcoming. I got there a little after they opened in the morning. As for the food, I ordered the kimchi fried rice along with the chicken and croffle. The fried chicken tasted a bit interesting. I'm not sure if the frying temperature was off or if it had something to do with the condition of the oil, but the texture of the breading wasn't quite right. I used to work at a fried chicken shop in Korea, so it was a texture I recognized--the coating was fully cooked and wasn't necessarily soggy, but there was no real crunch. Instead of being crispy, the breading was soft and kind of gave way when you bit into it. Unfortunately, I couldn't continue eating it. I'd give the chicken a 2/5. As for the kimchi fried rice, I liked the addition of cilantro and beets, which gave it a refreshing touch. My only issue was that the kimchi itself was way too sour for kimchi fried rice. I don't mind fermented or sour kimchi, but in this case, the sourness overpowered the rest of the dish. Overall, the cafe itself is cute and the people working there were genuinely very kind. I just wish the food had been a little better, especially the fried chicken. Will be back next time to try out the coffee!! It is a cafe after all.

I'll still be back because that French toast is top tier, but hopefully, the kitchen system gets it together next time.

    Very cute and quaint spot for breakfast. A friend suggested we meet here on Saturday for a late…read morebreakfast, what a great choice. It was pretty hard to pick from the menu items, but I settled on the Frittata with a side of Fennel Sausage, sourdough toast and a Arnold Palmer. Although the seating was full, thank goodness out food came out just as some seats were emptying out. It was a chilly day and the outside seating was full too. The service was without any complaints. They did their best to accommodate all patrons despite it being very crowded and crazy busy. Overall I would come back here, probably right as the doors open to be guaranteed a place to seat and not have to wait and hope for a seat. Oh the music was on point!! Put it on your list, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

    AMAZING breakfast, lunch, and dinner in Berkley. It started as a cafe by Kelsie Kerr in 2014 and…read moreattracts long lines even on weekday mornings. My friend who rarely insists on eating at specific places insisted we come, a previous girlfriend was in the food industry and they have this place bookmarked for awhile. They described it as "healthy california food". We came on a Friday morning around 9:20 am and it was pretty crowded. You can't park right in front but there was plenty of street parking on the weekdays. Inside, its intimate and cozy and there is also a nice seating area outside with lots of dog-owners hanging out. Everything we had was great quality with choice ingredients where you could actually taste the difference. Buttermilk Biscuit Sandwich: herb butter, roasted seasonal vegetables and onions, soft-cooked egg, and greens. Surprisingly filling, we were trying to share a bunch of little bites but ended up getting one each of these. It's fine as a stand alone mini breakfast! Frittata: pastured eggs, assorted vegetables, caramelized onions. WAY too good! we all love this one. Herb-Dijon Biscuit: Excellent savory biscuit, you can taste the high quality butter used.

    Cali Alley is one of my go-to spots... I'm constantly trying to convince people to meet me there…read morefor lunch, or telling them to just DoorDash it because it's that good. It's also one of those places that makes you want to stay. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and generous. Every time I come here, I tell myself I'll pace myself... and every time I fail because it's just that good. The burgers are loaded and perfectly balanced, the fries are always crisp (never soggy, which is rare), and everything tastes high-quality and made to order. You have to try the chicken and waffles. The waffle batter tastes homemade and the butter takes it to another level... it's one of those dishes you keep thinking about after. I'll even DoorDash it all the way to Jingletown. The patio setup is really well done... there's a mix of larger tables for groups and higher bar-style seating for smaller hangs. The wooden furniture and cushioned benches make it comfortable, and they've got heaters for colder days and umbrellas when it's sunny, so you can usually pick your ideal spot. You order at the window and then just hang out while you wait... it's a relaxed flow and the food comes out pretty quickly. The staff are always kind and welcoming, and the whole place has a relaxed, homey vibe with really good music. Highly recommend... just come hungry.

    I got the grilled prawn bowl. it's basically 4 prawns on top of a bunch of salad mix--for $21. (You…read morehave to pay extra $2 for the rice.) it's just not worth it. For what it's worth one of the other customers told me their fried chicken sandwich is really great.
