Reviews Homemade Cafe

I came here for brunch with my roommate a few Saturdays ago. I can't tell you how many times during the week I pass this cafe. It always seems so inviting, with customers sitting outside and a line out the door. 

I was craving pancakes and this seemed like the best choice. Inside, the decorations seem quaint and charming (they have a chandelier made of coffee cups), and lend a grandma/diner feel. This Saturday morning it was packed, and given the speed of our waiter when serving us, I think this is pretty common. 

If you are a big coffee drinker like myself, then pay attention to the signs posted on the back walls. I didn't realize for a while that there is a coffee station for customers to get their own refills. I also can't drink milk, so it's always a plus when brunch places provide alternatives, which Homemade does.  

The pancakes were as good as plain pancakes can be and look exactly like the picture on their website. They are fluffy, fresh, and huge; definitely too big for one sitting. When I need another pancake fix, I will be coming back.

Can't wait to return. We found this place thanks to urbanspoon and could not be happier with the find. The staff was incredibly prompt and laid back so we always felt taken care of but never rushed. The menu is simple breakfast and lunch diner options with eye opening cocktails as well. The Mexican Eggs scramble was amazingly fresh and flavorful and the french toast was perfectly done. Next time I plan to try the pancakes and heavenly home fries...both were tempting us from the table across the room. A+ breakfast/brunch spot (breakfast served all day)

Homefry Heaven!. When we lived in Berkeley we'd be here weekly, getting our homefry heaven on. They have other stuff too like chicken apple sausage w/ eggs (or other types of meat with eggs) They sometimes would have a yummy coffee cake.. but I can't guarantee it's still there. They have pancakes that are pretty good too.

The line is out the door and the door closes at 1pm promptly, so it's best to get there early, bring a paper & some patience. It's elbow to elbow people, and sometimes you get to share a table, so don't be shy. Breakfast happens.

I like the self serve coffee, just keep the aisles clear, as the staff are wicked fast. I've been worried I might trip someone as I'm not as quick getting in & out of the way. =)

This isn't a place to ruminate over your food.. but it comes hot & you'll want to dig in, as it's pretty good!

Waffles were really good and the fruit bowl was amazing!
