The place was closed on Friday, May 2 at 7:30pm. Even though they have posted hours on both google maps and in their window. Maybe that's being Berkeley, they still celebrated May Day.

OVERCHARGED me. I wish I had seen the reviews below before going, because I would have asked for receipt. Their menu says $5.9 for cream cheese bagel. With 10.25% tax, it should be $6.5 for my to-go order, but they did not use a software to calculate taxes and just charged me $7.85. I even asked to clarify but they were vague about it. It's not a good business practice.

FRAUD! HECK NO! I paid $16 for a croissant and an Italian soda. When a asked for a receipt after I ate, the price came to $13.83. WHAT??? I'm so confused. FRAUD ALERT! FRAUD ALERT! FRAUD ALERT! It's $1.75 for cheese and $1.75 Avocado; I was willing, about there was barely any avocado on it. Too bad ZERO stars isn't an option. CHECK YOUR RECEIPT!! The man in the below picture was terrible and has terrible customer service! Also, why wear a mask if you're gonna wear it on your chin?? Not wearing the mask properly which is beyond me🙄

The owners are so sweet and friendly, the coffee is fresh, and my bacon egg sandwich was simple and great

Horrible! Ordered a cheeseburger with no bun. As I waited, I heard a microwave warming and was praying that it wasn’t my burger. When I got my burger , It was a dried thin overheated patty with no cheese and some old lettuce, in which I was charged $11 for. I asked him where was the cheese, he threw a cold piece of chese on it and didn’t even bother to melt it, Then when I asked him to melt it , he melted it in the same microwave that he made my burger. This was horrible , took one piece and almost threw up! I did even bother to argue, I just politely took the burger , said they can have $13 in total I spent and told myself that I would never , and I mean NEVER EVER return ! I don’t even write reviews, but it was no way I could LET THIS SLIDE!! I Pray they see this too !!
