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

"If you’re looking for something on the healthier side for brunch, the Press — with locations in Pleasanton and Livermore — has some options for you. Along with a hearty list of coffees and non-alcoholic beverages such as a graham cracker latte, there are also toastinis, oatmeal, and many egg-laden options. Try the breakfast queso taco on (bonus: gluten-free) blue corn tortillas or the Nordic toastini with goat cheese, arugula, smoked salmon, and an egg." - Dianne de Guzman

The Press in Livermore is a bustling brunch spot that hits the sweet spot between quality food, good vibes, and efficient service. Despite the long line at the entrance, the staff kept things moving quickly and we were inside and placing our order faster than expected. The ordering system is mostly self-service, guests order at the counter and grab a number which adds to the efficiency and lets you find your preferred seat right away. Both the indoor and outdoor seating areas are bright, airy, and inviting. The interior has a modern, clean look with a relaxed café vibe, while the outdoor area is great for soaking in the Livermore sunshine. The food was fresh and flavorful. The biscuit sandwich with egg and sausage was hearty and satisfying, and the Warm Honey Milk Toast was a standout with sweet berries, floral accents, and a perfect scoop of cream. Pairing it with a latte rounded off a fantastic morning meal. The menu offers a nice variety from savory to sweet, with seasonal specials and thoughtful options for different tastes. Service was smooth, and the staff stayed upbeat and attentive, even with a packed house. The pastry display was also tempting, and the Coffee Nutella Bread Pudding is now on my list for next time. Overall, The Press is a must-visit if you’re in downtown Livermore looking for a vibrant brunch experience with great coffee and food that delivers. Get there early it’s popular for a reason!

So fresh and delicious. Homemade tortillas, bread sausage everything was great. Wish there were more places to est like this everywhere. Prices were wonderful and not over priced at all

The food was solid—I'd give it 4 out of 5. However, the service needs improvement. While a long line of customers was waiting, some staff were busy chatting about what they wanted to eat on their break instead of helping guests. Rather than socializing, they could have opened another register to speed things up. They only seemed attentive when the tip screen appeared. One staff member was wearing an extremely low-cut shirt, which felt inappropriate for a café setting—maybe wearing an apron could help with professionalism. On a positive note, the server who brought out the food was friendly and professional.

Super unique lovely menu, really great food, service, and interior. Their seasonal specials were the absolute best too. Perfect stop, especially if you’re passing through on the way to the I-5!

It was an absolutely amazing cafe. The owner, Rebekah, was so friendly and attentive. The staff are all very friendly and services are good.Foods are very presentable , delicious, and healthy. Drinks - lavender Lemonade very refreshing. The portobello quiche - superb. They only make 8 pieces per day, should you need more,please contact them ahead. Forgot all the names on our food order, so pictures are for your reference. Yes, there's outdoor seating.

A Beautiful little restaurant! They have the best avocado toast! The only problem I have with it is that it is a little bit noisy. There are two of these not far from each other, so if you order online make sure not to go to the wrong one!

Really cute place to have a quick brunch with friends! The service is quick and the food is tasty, definitely give this place a visit if you're in Livermore! We were coming back from a morning of fruit picking, and this was a place that was conveniently close. They have a pretty large menu, and I ended up getting a honey bee sting panini. It was really tasty, and they really loaded it up on the honey! It was really sticky but complemented the salami well. I definitely would come back to try their other items. Their lavender lemonade was also really cute and delicious, and was very refreshing in the heat.

Great place to get brunch/lunch with indoor and patio seating- order at the counter. They have a drink menu with specialty lattes, pretty lemonades etc. The food menu is extensive with brunch items, paninis, open faced toasts, salads, soups etc. We had a couple of paninis which come with a side salad. The paninis were tasty and came in HUGE portions! For whatever reason it is served as TWO paninis stacked on top of each other. I tried to get my son to order 'real' lunch food, but he insisted on Matcha Chia and I caved in. Glad we got it though since it was AMAZING. The Chia seeds are like soaked in matcha, so each seed is covered in matcha and maple syrup and it was super juicy and addictive. Cool place to hang out and catch up with a friend. They have one location in Pleasanton as well.

The Press is a nice simple cafe that turns out artisan sandwiches. Mostly street parking only. The cafe has both inside and outside seating options. Though, large parties of 8 or more might find it challenging to sit together. Self-serve complimentary iced water and cups provided. Two spacious restrooms for the entire cafe. The lighting was very good as it allowed for natural lighting to come in. Also, the cafe itself had bright lighting where you could enjoy the ambiance of the place. Order and pay at the counter. You will get your number and they will bring your food/drink order to the table. Turkey Reuben: Acme organic wholewheat sourdough, Hobbs nitrite free roast turkey, sauerkraut, cheddar, house made Russian dressing. It is a healthier version of this classic sandwich. "Four thinly sliced toasted bread gave every bite a nice crunch you would enjoy." Not heavily sauced, so the bread didn't get soggy. "The sauerkraut was subtle" yet blended in nicely. I love the classic with Pastrami or Corned Beef, but this was a good take on the Reuben. Honey Bee Sting Panini: Acme whole wheat sourdough, Hobbs fennel salami, chili flakes, provolone, onion, roma tomato, aioli, hot honey drizzle. This was my sandwich. I love the thick layers of salami and the spiciness of chili flakes. The hot honey drizzle is the newest thing on sandwiches, pizza, etc. This also had the four slices of toasted bread that gave this sandwich the crunch. Turkey Avocado Provolone Sammie: Acme organic ciabatta, Hobbs nitrite free roast turkey, baby arugula, tomato, aioli, house made pesto. My wife enjoyed her sandwich. The smokiness of the turkey, creaminess of the avocado, with the pesto. Mushroom Muffaletta: Acme ciabatta, olive tapenade, maitake mushroom, provolone, onion, arugula, aioli. "At first, it looked like a lot of bread for this sandwich, but as you took a bite of it, it was a flavor explosion of the crunchiness of the bread, freshness of all the vegetables but it was all tied together with the olive tapenade which provided a salty, briny taste that was the star of this sandwich." Tomato Jam - this was very good! I am glad I tried it. Slightly sweetened with apple juice, Apple sauce, apple cider vinegar, or something like that gave it a sweet yet tart taste. Mocha - nice decoration and wonderfully made mocha. Lavender Lemonade - this was a beautiful looking drink. Tart because it was Lemonade, but I liked it as I don't mind tart things. All their artisanal sandwiches were good-sized and full of meat. They were not skimpy, which I appreciated. The prices were very reasonable for the size of the sandwich, and it also included a side salad.

Great place for breakfast and brunch! I live closer to the Pleasanton one but unfortunately they close on Sundays. Surprised to see this location with a different schedule, I came here in the morning and saw a short line outside. The line went by fast, and I was able to look through their menu before ordering and sitting down. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Once you order, you'll be given a number and the food will be served to your table. I ordered a roast beef jalapeno triple cheese, shakshuka, mochi coffee crumble cake, and two hot graham cracker lattes. The roast beef jalapeno triple cheese was nicely toasted with delicious melted cheese and tender slices of beef. The shakshuka was a bit visually disappointing because it looked more like an egg on top of arugula salad with some chopped tomatoes. Flavor was not terrible, but not something I expected for shakshuka. This is a weekend special menu item! I would recommend their other breakfast items though. The lattes were really good and had nice combination of honey and cinnamon to replicate a graham cracker flavor. Overall, I enjoyed the meal and would love to revisit to try out their other items.

Absolutely fantastic! My girlfriend and I stopped here for lunch after getting some massages and facials at the Purple Orchid Spa and what a perfect spot to end our relaxing spa treatment! Love the bright, modern, open and inviting ambience. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. Everything looked delicious, making it difficult to decide on what to order. Little did I know, I was able to order two different halves of panini sandwiches,. I decided on 1/2 of the turkey blt and then 1 1/2 of the bacon dill pickle. It came with a side salad. Everything was hands-down EXCELLENT!! If only they could have restaurants like this in our town of Brentwood!! This is a restaurant that is well worth the drive out to again. Look forward to visiting again soon!

Have been here around a half-dozen times since my last review in January, and man this place does not miss. The strawberry crostini is excellent, and is even better than the orange/avocado one if the blood oranges are out of season. Their salads come in generous quantities and have a variety of ingredients that all go well together. The baked goods are generally worth trying, with the peanut butter and strawberry jam cookie being the highlight. The only item that didn't really work throughout all those visits was their honey mint latte, which had a flavor combination that just didn't work. Easily my favorite spot in Livermore that always hits the spot.

The press is a cozy cafe that serves coffee, tea, pastries, panini sandwiches and salad/soup. The press has the best toasted sourdough sandwich with melting cheese with a layer of sautéed onions mushrooms (yummy!!!). I ordered a side order of the tomato soup so that I can dip the mushroom cheese sandwich into soup. Absolutely delicious!!! Friendly service and nice place for breakfast and lunch. When you plan for wine tasting around Livermore, don't forget to check out this place. You won't be disappointed:)

My husband and I decided to try something new for brunch on Saturday morning/afternoon. It was very busy, which is always a good sign. I had been here once before, a long time ago, but just for a coffee so I was excited to try food. The girl helping us to our table was incredibly sweet and we could tell she really cares about her job and the patrons that come in. Super refreshing. He ordered the turkey pesto panini which came with a salad and I ordered the turkey avocado sandwich which i chose soup for as my side. I had the tomato soup. He was a little disappointed that his panini had so much extra bread in the middle and didn't seem to be too pressed, but he said it tasted good nonetheless. He felt the vinegreitte on the salad was a little too vinegar-y and didn't quite go well with the sandwich. I thought my sandwich and the soup were both really enjoyable. A good size, all ingredients were super fresh, and the pesto was delicious. The tomato soup had great flavor and a good consistency as well. I ordered a latte which was very good, and my husband ordered the cappuccino which he also very much enjoyed. I have tried the turmeric latte in the past which was extremely good. It's super cute in here, the menu is large, and the staff is all super friendly and helpful. I'm excited to go back and try some of their more breakfast-y items next time.

SOLID five starts. Just look at the photo. Pro Tip - when you order the Chia Pet Pudding, by default they add maple syrup. Sometimes a lot of it. If you are looking to cut some simple sugars, there is still tons of flavor in this dish without the bonus maple. Of course it is good but just a note in case cutting extra sugar is a priority in your life. Another tip - the lady that made this one is the boss of the bosses and I think her name is Rebecca. I would use this photo as the standard of what you want to get as this bowl was epic!

I've come to the Press at various times throughout the week, and it's the perfect place to get breakfast, brunch, lunch or even a pastry and coffee to-go. They have a variety of food options from toast to paninis. The interior is spacious but it gets really crowded on the weekends so plan ahead!

I came here a few days ago just to enjoy a quick morning brunch moment! The place was lively, a bit noisy, but it goes to show that this place is good. I got a chia pudding and caramel oat milk latte. The wait wasnt too long. LOVED the abundance and variety of fruits in the pudding. This was the first time I came to the Press alone, since I have come here before with friends. Nonetheless, it was still a great experience!

The press can really impress! Tasty and delicious. Healthy and white outside of one bakery with some sweetened flavor that I believe was just an extra spice. Pleasant customer service that politely offered us to sit outside because we had our beautiful puppy with. Great choice of fresh fruit selection, and excellent tomato basil soup that was perfect in taste. Carrot cake was outstanding for dessert. This place has such a good reputation that we drove all the way from Walnut Creek for a tasty brunch.

So it's like 3.5 stars. Good is pretty but could actually taste better We got - avocado and egg toastini. I had high hopes for this as it looked so pretty but it had a cold boiled egg with solid vs soft yolk. I was expecting it to be warm. So just 3 stars. I wouldn't get it again - sweet corn toastini special. Hubby seems to like it - tomato toastini. My daughter liked it but for $10 it seems overpriced - peanut butter fruit honey toastini. My other daughter was not a fan. Basically $10 for a peanut butter honey with one piece of bread. Pricey - chai latte was good. - strawberry mocha donut. Skip it. Nothing special - cinnamon French toast. This was good Overall it did the trick to fill our tummies. I wouldn't rush back

Super friendly staff and aesthetic cafe! Came here on a Saturday morning around 9am and there was plenty of parking and the place wasn't too busy. I tried the Nordic toast, the coffee mochi muffin and the matcha latte. The Nordic toast was good but I wasn't a big fan of the goat cheese. The coffee mochi muffin was an eye catcher from the pastry display but it lacked flavor and sweetness. The matcha latte on the other hand was really good and flavorful! The staff was friendly and super attentive!

*LOCATION* This lil cafe is in downtown Livermore. The surrounding area is super cute with a lot of small shops and restaurants all within walking distance. It's mostly street parking so might be a bit tricky during peak hours. *WAIT TIME* My girl friend and I decided to come here last Saturday in between our wine tasting sessions. We visited around 1:45pm and there were only 1-2 parties ahead of us in line to order. After we placed our orders, we decided to seat ourselves outside since it was a nice day. *FOOD* -Smoked turkey pesto panini: toasted sandwich with a decent amount of filling, nice hint of house pesto in each bite -Seasonal strawberry peach caprese toastini: the honey-drizzled fresh fruits paired well with the house-made ricotta, this dish was my favorite! -Press house chopped salad: the crisp tart apples was a nice contrast to the sweet beets and oranges, the only downside to this salad was that a lot of the spring mix leaves were yellow :( -Latte: nice and refreshing on a hot day! -Hibiscus lemonade: forgot to ask what my friend thought of this drink (oops!) *SERVICE* Not a lot of service since we order at the counter and seat ourselves. The drinks and food did come out fast though! *AMBIENCE* The interior is simple but really cute. This is definitely the perfect spot for weekend brunch with the girls!

We went here on Mother's Day and unfortunately were extremely disappointed. We ordered the fruit toast, salmon Benedict and the avocado toast the toast was small and very hard to eat our daughter just ended up eating the fruit, and the same for the rest of our Orders, very disappointed, our bill was almost $100 for 3 orders of hard to eat toast. We also ordered the matcha latte, which was not as sweet, the chai latte tasted like it was watered down and the orange juice was sour. We really wanted to ask for them to remake our toast but there was so much people and didn't have enough time bring up our issue in person.

Good food and excellent service. We came in at a perfect time of the day. Not too hot or cold to eat outside. Their pastries taste very good. Highly recommend this place for brunch. Just yo add: The inside dining is inviting for groups to eat and also for students just to hangout. The restroom is clean. For me, that is important part of service.

Brilliant execution of a cafe. Friendly staff, prompt service, fresh ingredients, yummy baked goods, and solid coffee. What more do you want?! I actually was one of the first people to ever try the press at their original location in Pleasanton. Saw them grow over the years, good for them! It's a clear example of if you offer a good product and good service, the world is yours. I particularly enjoy their drip coffee and seasonal lattes, the graham cracker one is my favorite during fall :) Also love their toastinis particularly the avocado citrus and goat cheese combo. Super refreshing! Their sandwiches are also really good and the baked goods are so yummy they normally sell out fast. A must try if you're in the area

Amazing brunch place! Very cute shop with plenty of seatings. Food was excellent!! Great sauce for the Benedict. Both the smoked salmon toast and the sandwich were cooked to perfection. The Benedict came with a mini salad with grapefruit. Very refreshing combo. For drinks, the matcha latte was especially good. Strong matcha flavor which I love! Service was attentive. You need to find your own table but they have servers that go around to make sure you get everything you need. They also make sure tables are clean promptly. Street parking outside but there is a parking garage behind if you can't find street parking.

It's busy and packed on a Saturday morning but thank goodness there is ample seating outside. I ordered the avocado toast with a hard boiled egg, very delicious my only gripe is I wished it was a larger portion haha! The graham cracker latte was yummy but I wished it was extra hot. The display of all the pastries looked amazing. Service is friendly and fast!

They press is not over hyped! I heard about it but didn't understand the rave until after giving them a try-They really do have great selections and the food is really good. Me and a few colleagues ordered takeout for lunch and the order was ready in about 15-20 minutes. I enjoyed the Honey hot ham and cheese panini! The sandwiches are made/stacked in doubles , so you can eat half and save the other half to eat later. Paninis are served with a side salad so your sure to be full after eating here. Prices are pretty fair considering the portion size.

Great lunch spot if you are on the go. It does get quite busy so stop by after or before lunch hours. Parking might be difficult especially during lunch hours. I really enjoyed my matcha sesame latte, it's one of the best one I have had, the taste was not overwhelming and great combination of both. I liked it because it was not empowered by the milk taste, a lot of matcha latte I have had is overpowering with milk taste. The sandwiches were delicious, it tasted very fresh. I wish I had a stomach to try everything, but not yet. I am looking foward to coming back.

Service: no issues, the most notable crew member on service was the man who handed our dishes. Food: my friends liked their dishes. However, I was not impressed with my items. The Fry Up: Comes with either bacon, ham, or avocado. I asked if I could do two options: Bacon and Avocado (extra $2). And eggs over medium. Bland A* The eggs were the best part, although only half of the eggs were over medium, but more well if anything.. The eggs were peppered and that was the only salvage. Although the tomatoes were seasoned on top: the rest of it was not giving. Mushrooms were bland.. the whole dish was just an F+ - Iced Chai Latte: base wasn't good. And too much cinnamon. My friends didn't like my drink. - One of my friends got the Avocado + Seeds dish: it was messy A*, none of the seeds stayed on. Artisanal? Sure. Practical, sensible bites? No. Delivers? No. - Willing to try other things in the future but my items were a bust. - If you're looking for a cute spot to eat: go for it, just don't get what I ordered.

I mean.... How can I go wrong with The Press? Much like its sister store in Pleasanton, I can live here. Got here to celebrate Mother's Day brunch around 8 am when they opened on Saturday, no lines. So that was a good sign (can you tell I'm scarred by The Press in Pleasanton?), service was quick and food was delicious! I especially love the location of this one since it's in the middle of downtown so I can stroll along the street to browse at other stores. All in all, the ambiance here is vastly different than the Pleasanton location, BUT still welcomed and appreciated! I'll be back soon ;)

They have this new combo called "The Fry Up" it's it so delicious and plentiful. Eggs, bacon or avocado, specialty mushrooms, grilled tomato, toast, and micro greens. We love coming here because of the service and food. My toddler loves their fruit cup

The cafe is super cute, per usual. I'd been a couple times before but not during the busy weekend brunch time. The line was practically out the door. The girl taking orders was sorta yelling at us to get in line and not block the area. A bit harsh tbh and not a good start to the morning. I came with hubby and friends. I got the jalapeno roast beef sandwich which normally comes with a side salad but I subbed it for their tomato soup. it's SO good. I love their tomato soup. Hubby got their breakfast sandwich. I think it could've been better and came with a side of hashbrowns. It was literally just the sandwich on a big plate - it looked off. We sat outdoors which was nice and you're right in downtown so you can people watch and it's just a nice ambiance. We did have some trouble with the umbrella b/c it only covered half the table and so eventually we were all squished at one end of the table trying to get under the umbrella b/c the sun was strong. I know now to either come early or later b/c 11am on a Saturday is super packed.

I go here from time to time and usually get the basic egg sandwich. Decided to try The Press Sub. Service is always standard. Good, but nothing exceptional. But the Sub had half of Roma tomatoes stuffed in the sandwich. You guys can do better. I don't want a mouth full of Roma Tomato with the stem still intact. Come on!

Drove all the way from Fremont to come here to meet a friend. In terms of the food, I totally did not regret the drive! We ordered Avocado+seeds tostini and Press chopped salad. Both were great! Their coffees were nice as well. Loved the ambiance! This place was pretty busy for a Thursday afternoon - must be a local favorite. I am very motivated to try other Press locations!

Turkey pesto panini for the win! Came in for a quick bite and grabbed the panini to go. Service was friendly and quick. The wait for the sandwich was only 15-20 minutes and they were busy. All the cheesy goodness! Well balanced with the meat, cheese, and pesto. Hit the spot!!

Blow me down. The Press is cute and all, but I've seen them in many towns and didn't jump to come here. Well, I was wrong. The name may be commonly used, but there's only 2 locations: here in Livermore, and also in Pleasanton. Like I said, it's cute (as hell), and very clean. Modern in design, it features a vibrant menu filled with coffees, breakfast, sandwiches, and salads. They close at by 3pm, 2pm on some days, so get there early (and enjoy). So, finally, I jumped. The gf, pooch, and I got a couple of sandwiches. I got the The Press Sub [$16.50, 5.0 stars] -- a little small (7"?), but lots of meat and totally delish. Acme organic ciabatta roll, Hobbs ham, salt craft salami, provolone, baby arugula, tomato, onion, pepperoncini, aioli and Dijon mustard. Served with a choice of salad, soup, or fruit. I had the butternut squash soup, and wow -- it was awesome. To boot, we also met the owner, who came by to make sure we were okay. So nice! I'll be back when in Livermore. Pleasanton, you're closer...tag, you're it!

I only wish I had taken pictures, but the food was so incredible, we devoured it before I could even think to photograph it. I was visiting my grandma, who is in her 90s, and was told not to bring too much food because she doesn't eat much. Now, 1. I don't follow directions well, and 2. I wanted to be sure there was something she liked, so I ordered too much food. Or so I thought. The seasonal menu looked too good to pass up, so I ordered all three lunch items, butternut squash soup, winter apple salad, and harvest pear panini. We started with the salad. It was beautiful! On top of some sort of fancy greens were layered green apples (cut in very small pieces), pomegranate, cranberries, blue cheese, pecans, and I don't even know what the dressing was--almost unnecessary with all of those wonderful flavors. I will be dreaming of this salad for weeks, guaranteed! It tasted even better than it looked, if that were possible. We ate almost all of it. But of course, we had to try the panini. Now, this was not a small portion. It actually came with two sandwiches, both cut in half and a side salad that looked almost as beautiful as the delicious apple salad we had just finished (needless to say, we ignored it temporarily). The panini was toasted bread, which I worried might be too hard for my grandma to eat. It wasn't, but I'll get back to that. The panini was filled with turkey and bacon, sliced pear, and perfectly melted brie cheese. There might have been other ingredients, but those are what I remember tasting. It was so good. And Grandma ate the entire sandwich. At this point, I'm questioning her eating habits, since she seemed to have a pretty good appetite (I think I ate a little more of the apple salad than her, but other than that, food was getting polished off at an excellent rate), but my aunt confirmed she doesn't usually eat this well. That leaves the soup, which we wrte both too ful for. I tasted it to confirm that it was good, probably the most standard of the three food options I brought, but tasty enough. Unfortunately for me, I live over 300 miles from this Cafe, although that's probably better for my wallet, because I would likely try to find an excuse to eat here very often. Also, I almost forgot, I ordered online for pickup. The process was super easy, and it took about 20 minutes for them to prep the food. It did seem like the menu prices were higher online than at the Cafe, but still entirely fair for what we got. I highly recommend The Press as an outstanding lunch spot, and my grandma agrees!

Just alright dog. The inside looks great, and there's bottomless drip coffee. We got some special baked goods and sandwiches ( both had pears) and they were definitely passable but I wasn't crazy about them. I should try the regular offerings since I dug the location but... aye... not

Stopped by for lunch on a weekday with a friend recently. Parking was a bit of a pain. There's only street parking and I was not lucky that day. I ended up parking a few blocks away down a residential street. It was hot day to walk that far. Bring your walking shoes in case you have to park further away! When I finally arrived, I was glad to see that there were still a few tables open. You order first and get a number to place on your table for your food and drinks. We sat near the bathroom and noticed they had those spinning fly deterrent contraptions. Not really a huge issue for us but flies came around despite those devices. My friend and I both got their Beet & Arugula Salad with Turkey added and Tumeric Latte. Both very tasty! I also got the Roast Beef and Jalapeño Panini to go for my hubs who enjoyed this as well. I can't wait to try other menu items! They also have outside seating. Staff were all amiable.

Stopped in here on a Saturday morning, it was not too crowded and had the best breakfast sandwich. It was a build your own sandwich option- salt craft English muffin, and a ton of options like egg, meats, cheese, condiments, etc.. They have indoor or outdoor tables available and I will be back.
