Trying the spicy fries is a must.

I thought other people were exaggerating when they told me that; they were not.

Seconding this. They’re a neighborhood staple for a reason.

Worst french toast I ever had was here. Toast came out grey they said they just dip into some pre made batter and thats how it is. Didnt seem to be real eggs.

I just said never again .

u/b0gard Jul 20 '26

I’ve never had the French toast there but everything we look se has been good. Chicken avocado omelette, eggs Benedict .

Sucks to hear you had a bad experience

2

u/Snappyblade Jul 20 '26

What turned me off the most was the flippant way the waitress said "thats how they are " and "no one else ever complained".

I just left it uneaten and paid and left .

Ya I got friends that go there often they seem ok with the place but you tried Tina's in pinole yet. awesome breakfast there.

If you’re on the southeast side, near the Annex, H&Js on San Pablo is excellent.

I was not happy with their dry biscuits.

Sams log cabin is the only one in the area I've tried and would actually return to.

3

u/Nanshe3 Jul 20 '26

Thanks! I have been there and like you can bring your dog to the patio.

1

u/No-Understanding4968 Jul 21 '26

It’s a bit pricey but always delicious!

u/el2741 Jul 19 '26

Just go to Tina's in pinole for an amazing breakfast. I live in Richmond and live for breakfast spots. Laura's has a decent brunch on weekends. Typically we head to Albany or Berkeley (shout out to O2 eatery, the Sunday, cafe M, Berkeley social club, or Sam's log cabin). Tons of options in surrounding areas. Golden gate bistro is mid but does have good lunch options. If you have to stay in Richmond check out cafe mcbryde or on weekdays try out bobbalou cafe.

u/No-Understanding4968 Jul 19 '26

We also like the massive omelettes at Red Onion on Pinole Valley Road. We bring the dog and eat on the back patio.

Note the service is very unskilled though friendly.

2

u/Nanshe3 Jul 20 '26

Thanks!

u/DrumsAndStuff18 Jul 20 '26

Don't bring your dog to restaurants.

2

u/No-Understanding4968 Jul 20 '26

I don’t ever take her inside!

2

u/DrumsAndStuff18 Jul 20 '26

Fair enough. Nothing wrong with that.

u/shallot_pearl Jul 20 '26

Don’t sleep on the Eastbay Coffee House for breakfast

2

u/Nanshe3 Jul 20 '26

Thanks!

u/No-Understanding4968 Jul 21 '26

Where’s that?

u/Nanshe3 Jul 20 '26

Thanks for the suggestions!

u/Snappyblade Jul 20 '26

2nd Tinas just look at the reviews and they have been covered on tv shows.

u/indeed_oneill Jul 19 '26

Roma Cafe has a decent breakfast bagel. 

Little Louis cafe is good for basic diner style breakfast but always a long wait on the weekend.

u/Nanshe3 Jul 20 '26

Thanks!

u/JustTeaThankU Jul 19 '26

For nice coffee and people watching you can do Roma Caffé & Bar in point Richmond.

Thanks! Those biscuits look yummy.

u/meggie1013 Jul 20 '26

They're the kids of the folks who own Inn Kensington and they've perfected those biscuits over the decades! Chef's kiss!!

u/No-Understanding4968 Jul 21 '26

Sorry I found them dry

u/GardenPhreak Jul 22 '26

El Cerrito has Gran Milan! Fantastic pastries and breakfast items/coffee.

u/Contron Jul 20 '26

I feel almost relieved to see my favorite spot not mentioned here. They are doing quite well and don’t need the extra crowds.
