Doyle St. Cafe is a longtime fave of our family. The ambiance is suitable for any patron, young and old, which is so nice with a couple of kids! The staff is VERY sweet and friendly. This and the portions makes us want to drive out to Emeryville all the time with family.
The menu mostly focuses on breakfast items such as 4 different kind of Benedicts, French toast, eggs any style, etc. There are lunch items such as big salads, burgers, sandwiches and quesadillas. I will point out that if you order a breakfast dish that comes with potatoes, the potatoes are more of a scalloped style and not home fries. If you'd like to substitute that, just make sure to ask. The best item I've ever had: THE CALIFORNIA BENEDICT! You MUST, I repeat, MUST get it and try it. It is so delicious and packs a nice punch in one bite! Other faves are the Eggs Milan, French Toast filled with mascarpone, and Huevos Rancheros.
They also have alcoholic drinks here. There are berts on tap and yummy cocktails such as a house Bloody Mary, jalapeño Bloody Mary (delish), and a yuzu screwdriver along with an array of mimosa choices.
You are not able to make reservations online. The business works on a first come, first serve basis, so wait times can be a little long (30 minutes to an hour on a busy day).
There is a parking lot available, but it does fill up quickly and then there's street parking. I'd suggest carpooling with family if you can!
