The Best Brunch Restaurants in Oakland, Berkeley, and the East Bay | Eater SF

"There’s a reason why Montclair Egg Shop has survived over 50 years in business, and that’s because it’s a well-loved — and delicious — institution in this Oakland neighborhood. As you may have guessed, egg-centric dishes rule the menu here, with scrambles, omelets, huevos rancheros, and five kinds of Benedicts (and more). Ed’s Welsh Scramble ties together mushrooms, spinach, bell peppers, potatoes, and cheddar, while the Eggs Juneau is a Benedict dish featuring smoked salmon. Those looking for a boozy accompaniment can order a mimosa or bloody mary from the bar, and there are of course coffee and nonalcoholic beverages available as well." - Dianne de Guzman
