Denica's Real Food Kitchen

Grew up in Hawaii so appreciate the Hawaii influenced menu! The gigantic cinnamon roll is the bomb, as are most of the baked goods like the pecan sticky roll. Mochiko chicken was awesome and authentic. Ube pancakes are really good. Didn't care for the gravy for the loco moco, which is you only think i have had that i didn't like. Free chips and salsa.

Went with my wife on January 10, 2026, for breakfast. She had guava pancakes and I had a florentine omelette with pesto, cheese, spinach, onions and peppers. We both loved our dishes. The omelette had plenty of vegetables and tasted very fresh. The guava pancakes, though it was covered by a lot od guava sauce, was not extremely sweet, so that the guava served as a complement to the dish's taste, rather as the main flavor. The price was commesurate with other restaurants which specialize in breakfast in the San Francisco Area.

Restaurant has two entrances, the main front and a back parking lot entrance. You order at the counter, they give you a number and you seat yourself. Restaurant has a serve yourself vibe. When you get regular coffee they have a coffee area for you to serve yourself either regular or decaf. They also has a water bar with cups and three options of natural water to choose from. Service is pretty quick and the staff friendly. The food is delicious and reasonably portioned.

Came with my dog. They were tolerant about me bringing him in to place my order (he is well behaved). For Saturday brunch time, around 2pm, they are busy but efficient. I had the crepes with bacon and eggs. Generous serving, quality bacon. Crepes were sinfully delicious AND beautiful! I'd come again!

One of my favorite breakfast spots in the Bay Area! Denica’s is delicious. I love their cookies, pies and cakes. Their Ava ado toast with bacon is delicious. I’ve been to the Castro Valley location which is my favorite.
