Homemade Cafe

Nahhh the home fries were some of the best I've had. They know what they're doing here. Cute breakfast spot with cool art hanging up. The staff was awesome - I wanted any type of parfait or fruit and the cook made up a special thing for me to get that! Very grateful and appreciate the vibes here

Really quaint and friendly corner breakfast spot. Cage free eggs and we sampled various baked goods that were exceptional. Waffle is delicious and they also serve grits. Specials looked very inviting, although I didn't try one. Service was thorough and extra friendly. The staff made our visit very very enjoyable.

Really top notch breakfast place. All the meats and breads are local. I got the Cornbeef hash my first time and the Mexican eggs the second. Service was quick and professional and love the way the space is decorated. A true American style breakfast gem.

Totally worth the wait for Sunday brunch. The pancakes are super fluffy and the home potatoes are soooo good!!!! Love their strawberry crumb muffin! This place definitely tops the brunch places in Berkeley! Worth the wait and the price is great for the amount of food!

A welcoming and friendly restaurant serving up the fluffiest pancakes and some of the best brunch options in town. At Homemade Cafe, everyone is welcome. From the fliers and flowers up front to the diverse staff, the restaurant has an inclusive and positive feel. The restaurant is quaint and cozy, and the staff are friendly. The wait out front was well worth the food inside. The food really gives the place its namesake. From strawberry crumb muffins to home fries, everything really does taste homemade with love and care. The menu offers a variety of pancakes, eggs, and daily specials, including pastries and goodies. For brunch, we had the crumb muffin, blueberry-apricot pancake, and the Portuguese egg scramble. The blueberry pancakes we had were some of the fluffiest and tastiest pancakes we've ever had. They are not to be passed up. The home fries were crispy, savory, and well-seasoned. Everything was absolutely delicious and at a moderate price!

The food is good besides a few things on the menu. I ordered hot chocolate and the 2 egg combo. The hot chocolate wasn't great, I'm not sure why it tasted like that. I'm mostly upset with the house fry. I made it clear that I can't eat pork. I asked for hashbrowns but was informed that they don't have hashbrowns but they do have their housefry. They didn't inform me that it had bacon in it. Didnt realize until almost halfway through when my carmelized onion turned out to be chewy. That was quite upsetting, and I ended up having an allergic reaction. But for those who can eat pork, the house fry was good. Their portion sizes are big but it's not exactly cheap either, so it makes sense. Parking is near impossible but you can't exactly blame them for it. I wouldnt recommend if your diet has restrictions. Also, idk if they share that bathroom or what, but it is not clean.

I’m happy they are opening back now I probably can get my 92 dollars back now I’ve lived in Berkeley over 10 years never been to the cafe never ate there never ordered there but had a transaction in my bank account for 92 dollars from this restaurant address I didn’t see it til Dec 27th because the holiday so I drove over there ask who can I speak with about a transaction that I didn’t authorize the lady walked to the back to explain what I had said I guess to the manager and came back said he was busy leave my name and number and the last 4 digits of the card that was used and he will call me so I left went to my bank next to file a claim I called back that next week to the cafe because I hadn’t got a call from anyone yet I think on the 2nd or 3rd of January and the message was sorry but after 45 years we are closed for business then I drove back there and papers was on the windows saying they was closed so once you open I will be back

Favorite brunch spot in the East Bay! Food is always super delicious! Good quality ingredients used. Semifreddi’s bread. Fresh squeezed local orange juice. Great service. Not pretentious, local spot serving the community. Delicious, delicious, delicious! Highly recommended! Try the frittata, huevos rancheros, blueberry pancakes! My personal vegetarian favs!
