    Charming atmosphere, great food. Little hole in the wall. Would recommend. The line zest on the fruit bowl was a great touch. Added a nice, slightly sour, taste to the watermelon.

    This is our favorite non-fancy bougie breakfast and coffee place in Berkeley. I always get the croissant breakfast sandwich with orange juice. They also serve THE avocado toast (the one that prevents us millennials from buying property) and their iced coffees are delicious too.

    Had breakfast here 3 days this week, it was delicious! The manager was so kind and the ladies were helpful. Organic fare fresh fruit cup with mint and croissant breakfast sandwich. Expanded parklet weather was beautiful.

    Just visited today for brunch, the food is delicious, the fruit is fresh and the arrangement is delicate. I like the vibe in this restaurant, staff are young and energetic. They have indoor or outdoor seating.

    Old world, quiet, settled atmosphere. Barstools and wooden tables. Scrambled eggs and cheese on croissant was EXCELLENT, as was the breve.

    I went here just for the avocado toast. They put a touch of arugula, sweet tomato and an olive to give it a wonderful flavor. I love sitting outside too when it's nice out.

    Love love love this place. It’s a Berkeley mainstay for those with good politics and standards when it come to coffee and food! The owner is an exceptionally talented artist and it shows in every detail of this place.
