"Denica’s Real Food Kitchen is an East Bay favorite, with three locations spread throughout the Tri-Valley each serving savory and sweet Hawaiian-inflected brunch. Those looking for trendy spiral croissants will turn their heads at the supreme versions done here, such as the ube custard-filled option topped with coconut. But those looking for a heftier meal can order the loco moco fried chicken or the 100 Chile Benny, an eggs Benedict dish with chorizo, avocado, 100-chile hollandaise, and topped with tortilla strips." - Dianne de Guzman, Lauren Saria
