The proprietress runs a quality operation all by herself. The vegetarian sandwich which we've had several times is excellent. The service is top notch. And the location is right by Lake Merritt with a great View. I highly recommend this place.

Ordered breakfast sandwich and a latte. Both were really good. I also like the decor of this cafe. So cozy and really clean!

Such a pleasant place. I ordered the Ethiopian breakfast assuming it came with the injera. When she served it up she could tell I was expecting something else and offered to make me an Ethiopian breakfast with injera!! Very genuine service and flavorful food. The inside is very nice and cozy too, lots of tables and chairs and couches. Easy to park, just choose one of the side streets.

Very friendly staff with large menu. Perfect for brunch or to get work done (or both!). They also have an Ethiopian lunch menu, which also looked really good. Based on how delicious the omelette was, I trust the rest is as good and fresh.

I'm shocked that this place has 4.3 not a perfect 5. The food was absolutely delicious! I'm from New York and if I'm having a bagel outside of NY I'm normally very iffy on it. Their bagel tasted like home. The cold brew was fantastic and the tiramisu, I haven't had a tiramisu slice like this before. The woman behind the counter saw how much I loved the cake and offered to try it with some espresso - 200% awesome!! I'm extremely grateful for the staff being so friendly and welcoming. The place is super clean and well managed their artwork inside and outside is top notch and they have breakfast all day. I'm humbled by this place and while contemplating a move to Oakland, I have to be nearby here just so that I can get the home like feeling. Thank you for everything

My gf and I always love coming here. It's such a chill place with a relaxed environment.. free wifi.. great place to work or just hang out. And we normally play cards and just spend a couple of hours there. My favorite part is the Chicken Pesto sandwich with ethiopian spice, it's not spicy not.. it's very flavorful. And best chicken sandwich I've ever had in my life. (I like it on a soft roll). I never leave reviews, and I really should as we need to with these local businesses. Word of advice though, be patient here, it may take a bit because she mostly works alone. And it's so worth the wait!

Passed this place a million times, but I won’t pass it anymore! Great coffee! Did t get food this time but they have a nice menu that I would like to try in the future. Went back again today and had a veggie omelette and coffee. Great coffee and a fantastic omelette. This is a no frills place of peace and quiet with great home cooked food. One of the best things going on around Lake Merritt.
