I work in downtown Oakland about once a month and usually have to grab something quick. I recently discovered Delegates and I will be back. I ordered the avocado toast with over easy eggs to go and they were FAST. I got there a few minutes before 12 and between placing my order and getting my order, it probably took five minutes. I must’ve beaten the lunch rush but still, that is some speedy service. When I brought it back to the office, the eggs were still heated but perfectly runny the moment I ate them.
Friendly and efficient service paired with a great avocado toast. I will be back to try the other items on the menu!
Fairly simple menu of solid, well-crafted food. Burgers, salads, and breakfast staples. You won't find any microwaved or boxed eggs here! Everything is made to order on a griddle with super fresh ingredients.
I ate the breakfast wrap, which is loaded with hash browns, avocado, eggs, and chopped ham (you can opt for veggies instead of meat). It came with a delicious and mildly spicy salsa on the side.
The fruit is ALWAYS fresh! I love that the eggs for my morning breakfast wraps are always cooked when I order, and not pre-cooked like other places I used to go to. I can taste the freshness in every bite!!! I love this place and the people that run it!!!! <3 ooohh, and the coffee is fair trade!!
Burger was bomb! Full size patty, no excess bun issues. Quick grab Equator cold coffee in the morning. Breakfast sounds good, can't wait to try that next. Welcome to Oakland!
Not bad at all. Had two breakfasts here and the order is prepared quickly. Staff is friendly and is described. Located well and has upstairs siting area. The menu is quite extensive and has major american dishes. Not crowded and portions are very generous. Recommend this place.
Delegates makes really good food for cheap prices. You can't get an $8 burger outside of fast food these days in the bay. Plus the bacon jam is just ridiculously good. I brought my computer and worked there in the morning. Really good breakfast (the hashbrowns slap) plus relaxing vibes and a solid playlist. Definitely coming back.
Delegates was highlighted by Soleil Ho in the Chronicle recently as one of many Asian-American owned-and-operated establishments that excel at serving traditional diner fare, so I had to come by and check it out. The BBQ burger, for example, was ginormous and filling, so much so that adding a side of fries made for too much food to have all at once
Unexpected find! Delicious huge sandwich! The bread is grilled to crispy perfection and French fries were fresh an hot. Yummy!
