Ignore the negative tip, new owners are the friendliest people you'll ever meet! New lunch specials everyday - soup is always amazing. And they make the BEST chocolate chip cookies ever!!! -Genevieve
Their poached eggs are fantastic. Great coffee and espresso too. -Phil
Try the lattes, italian steamed eggs with olivetta, handmade yogurt and granola, or sandwiches and salads. The new owners are awesome, and really care about locally sourced and handmade foods. -Paula
A decent weekend brunch spot without a line?? Creative, savory, Italian-centric breakfasts (read: different types of polenta and baked eggs). Good cappuccino. I'll be back. -Brian
Prosciutto and a poached egg on garlic toast is a wonderful breakfast. -Tim

A nice cafe for a weekend brunch/lunch, with half the seats outside. Serving coffee roasted down the street. Definitely a eat/chat location, not for plopping down with a laptop. -Russell
House coffee is meh...would pass. -Kelly
Poached egg with Gorgonzola is the best!! -Ellen
Over 30 min wait for a take out sandwich. ? -Alex
Don't come on a Sunday unless you have nothing to do with your day. Waited for an hour for my food. Eventually just asked for my money back cuz I got sick of waiting -Rory
Best Eggs Benedict I've had. Not bad–looking either. -Jordan
Get a piece of their homemade chocolate chip cookie with your coffee. -Jinah
On a lazy Saturday morning head to Caffe 817 in Old Oakland for a breakfast of poached eggs, olive tapenade and toasted levain. Add a latte bowl or cappuccino for the perfect start to your day! -AFAR Media
