A pale shadow of its former self. I hadn't been here in a number of years. What was once a cheery, bright breakfast favorite is now down in the heels: dingy, unkempt, sad.My breakfast was cheesy scramble with plastic bag-bread toast and greasy fried potatoes, but exceptional or interesting it wasn't. One can do better at a host of other diners and breakfast spots in Oakland.The service matches the rest of the vibe.I won't be back again.

Fun vibes. Cool decor. Service is friendly but maybe just a little slow, but we got there at a busy time, and they were so nice it didn't even matter. Plus the food. Wow the food. Just try everything, you won't be disappointed.

After being told it’d be over an hour wait at Brenda’s with no reservation, my friend and I decided to walk cross the street and give this place a try, and let me tell ya, it’s definitely Brenda’s a run for their money. We were sat right away. I enjoyed the charm and service. I like that you can tell it’s been at this location for a long time. The catfish and grits were delicious. Great seasonal pancakes. Good coffee. Will definitely recommend and be back when visiting!

Excellent service, food was great, and no attitude like Brenda's across the street. I actually felt like I belong here and very affordable! Definitely going to start eating lunch here until I'm done working in Oakland.
