"You can’t talk about breakfast in Alameda without bringing up Ole’s. The diner has been feeding the AM crowd for almost a century, and lines still form down the sidewalk for their thinly pressed waffles and other breakfast staples. Slide into a swivel chair at the bar or one of the booths under a stained-glass lamp, and prepare to dive into the Waffle Combo: a straightforward and highly satisfying platter of the titular waffle, your choice of protein, and eggs done any way you’d like.
