    Egg bite
    Austin W.

    My friends and I stopped by Yellow Door on a Sunday morning and there seemed to be a steady stream of customers out the door. I ordered an egg bite, while my wife ordered an macchiato along with a cheddar scallion scone. The egg bite was warmed up when I received it and was light and fluffy; definitely a bite I'd order again. However, the cheddar scallion scone was a skip for me. The scone crumbled apart the moment I bit into it, and it's definitely on the dry side. You would do yourself a huge favor by not eating this in your car. From my extremely limited experience, the items from the pastry case seem to be hit-or-miss. That said, I'm honestly very impressed that Yellow Door has been able to keep prices of pastries below $5. If you're stopping by on a Sunday, I would definitely do a loop around the farmers market nearby to see if there are other pastries that catch your eye. Pair that with a coffee from Yellow Door and you've got a winning combo.

    English breakfast tea
    Hope L.

    Came here on a Saturday afternoon and ordered an English breakfast tea. It was $3.50 and I was honestly pretty disappointed as it was literally just a tea bag and hot water. They didn't put any milk or sugar in it and didn't even offer it. The tea was way too hot to drink and I had to wait 15 minutes before I could sip it. When I was finally able to drink it, it was lacking so much flavor and was super bland. I ended up taking 5 sips of it and throwing it in the trash. Super disappointed as it was expensive and not worth it.

    Salmon Power Bowl
    Veronica L.

    Local Montclair sandwich & salad cafe. Came here after my usual nail appt because I'm starving. Decided to go for the healthy option and got the salmon power bowl. Removing a star because the salmon was delicious but for $21 I feel like the size of the salmon was a smidge too small for what you pay for. The amount of avocado was also pretty paltry. The rest of the bowl was generous with the super thin slices of cucumber, cauliflower rice, edamame, and slices of fennel, red cabbage, and onion were plentiful. It's nice they have individually wrapped compostable utensils and tapatio packets for those that like more spice in their food. The Rishi tea packet selection was also impressive, as was their pastry and cookie selection. Their to go fridge has a good collection of grab and go items. Will come back to try the Asian Salad and their chicken salad sandwich.

    Iced Matcha latte
    Jenny T.

    I was in Oakland and wanted to get a matcha since I'm not a coffee drinker and saw this place appear and had. Finding the place wasn't too hard since the door is literally the name of the shop, a Yellow Door! It was made it very unique and it was nice and clean inside. They offered a variety of drinks and food. I really wanted to like my drink due but I have to say it was probably the worst matcha latte I ever had. I saw the barista prepare the drink and noticed he used a lot of milk, which watered the whole drink and I did not taste a hint of matcha. I would not come back for the matcha but may be open to check out the food options in the future if I'm back in the area.

    Special bowl
    Joe W.

    Ambiance: Cute inviting locale in the Montclair Village that has both cafe style seating to have a coffee date with a friend and high bar stools with marble desks and nice accents that makes it feel very homey inside. The big windows and sunroof allow for natural light to illuminate the space which is a great change of pace if you're stuck inside all day. You'll be tempted by all the pastries and to go options behind the glass displays that it'll perk up your hunger just standing in line. Service: this place is very popular and you'll most likely see a line but it moved quickly. The workers are welcoming and work very quickly. Food came out after about 5-10 minutes after ordering. They forgot to add in the lentils and quinoa to this for my plate so that sucks. Food: Special Bowl: (4/5) Off-menu item that is a good mix of arugula, butternut squash, pita chips, and hummus. The pita chips provide a much needed crunch to this otherwise soft food dish. The butternut squash will add some carbs while you'll get half your daily need of greens from the arugula. I heard you can dress this up with hot sauce and while I didn't do this I agree it could use something to liven it up a bit. I didn't get to try it with the quinoa or lentils but otherwise a good option to try, I would prefer to try other things though. Breakfast sandwich: (4/5) eggs, sausage, cheese, English muffin. Nothing fancy here but what separates this above others is the smoky romesco sauce. Almost like a tapatio but a little more smoke to it really makes it special. They toast the bread nicely so you get a crunch texture to the muffin without burning it. Would certainly get it again.

    Chicken Buddha bowl, salmon Buddha bowl, iced latte with vanilla, chai latte
    Diana D.

    Came here to fuel up after a workout. The salad was good. I liked the salad dressing and the mix of toppings. Iced latte was also good. We got the coconut brown butter cookies as well and it was good! And I normally don't like dried coconut but it worked well with the cookie.

They are located in the Temescal area of Oakland, and they share a building with a Mexican restaurant. There's a parking lot that's shared with a pawn broker, produce market, and check cashing service. Their vibe is urban, with a rainbow flag on their front door, and assortment of plants inside. Other reviewers had mentioned a line upon opening, so we made sure to arrive 15 minutes before they open, but on this Friday morning, there was no one else but us. Our server was friendly, polite, and soft spoken. Their menu is quite small, which I appreciate. There's appetizers, sides, brunch, and dinner -- all on 1 page. Their food was outstanding, with rich flavors and beautifully presented with sauces and pickled radishes. We ordered... + Shanghai Lumpia - these were long, crispy, and properly filled + Daing Na Bangus Silog - deep fried milkfish with salad, garlic rice, and sunny egg. One of our favorites. + Fried Chicken (4-piece) - perfectly crispy and juicy. There's some warm spices in the batter, maybe all-spice. + Adobo fried rice - the pork was so tender, it shreds on your fork. This had a good amount of tanginess that was so good. + Pancit Sotanghon - not your typical pancit. The chopped veggies in this had an almost charred flavor that made the dish so interesting. There was not a bad dish. I definitely recommend this for elevated Filipino food that's not pretentious, with a modern, hip vibe.

Lush greenery abounds. Servers are nice, checking tables frequently. What fell short for me was the taste. Restaurant quality food but flavors are so divorced from the og that diners looking to satiate their Filipino food cravings will leave unsatisfied. Filipino food has very strong pungent flavors whether salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and definitely umami. It should punch diners in the mouth, no ands, ifs, or buts. Adobo sa gata (aka adobo in coconut milk) is a regional specialty. The sharpness of the vinegar mellows out with the addition of the coconut milk. But there should still be a clear and distinct flavor profile. The eggplant omelet was almost there. Liked that it wasn't greasy but again was searching for some punch of flavor. Maybe I needed to ask it they had a garlic, chili and vinegar dipping sauce. Or maybe atchara (aka pickled veg). Didn't care for the sticky rice dessert (aka suman). Didn't like the pureed texture. The green mango garnish was better when I dipped the slices in salt. FOB Kitchen's food is refined. Maybe too subtle and restrained. I get it. The chef has to appeal to the western palate, a wider audience than just Filipinos, to survive in an industry with razor thin margins. I look for good food and flavor, not necessarily for authenticity. So yes, I would still recommend this restaurant, for good eats but not for Filipino food.

MLK Cafe was perfectly located and exactly what I needed. I've never had Eritrean food before, so I was pretty excited. I ordered the foul meseleh ($13) from the breakfast menu (available all day though I had to ask for it), which was a bean-based dish, and chai. It kind of reminded me of shakshuka in terms of spices but the beans almost tasted meaty. I liked it so much that I brought it home, and my partner said it tasted like refried beans (though he did have them cold). The crusty warm bread was perfect for dipping, and I ended up not being able to finish it. The chai was pretty milky; there was a tea bag and the spices weren't very strong. Then again, I'm used to Indian chais. I would pass on the chai. There was basically no one else there on a Friday afternoon during off-peak hours. It was dimly lit and kind of chilly because the door was left open, so it wasn't the most comfortable cafe ambiance.

As for the actual food, we ordered the mac trio with elote mac, chicken pot pie mac, and kogi short rib mac (for an extra fee). The elote mac was the best and most flavorful, the short rib mac was okay but not amazing or worth the extra money, and the chicken pot pie mac was very bland/flavorless and didn't have much chicken in it. The food didn't feel like it warranted the wait time and because of that I would not return.
