Crema's Take

This East Bay institution has been a beloved gathering spot for generations, where regulars and newcomers alike feel welcomed like family the moment they walk through the door. Beyond solid traditional coffee, Jim's shines for its exceptional breakfast and comfort food—think perfectly executed scrambled eggs and rich, stick-to-your-ribs gravies—served with genuine hospitality that keeps people coming back for decades. Whether you're ducking in for a quick grab or settling in for a slow morning, the warm, lived-in atmosphere and reasonable prices make this a rare diner that actually feels like home.

THE VERY BEST DINER IN ALL OF BAY AREA! Been coming here since I was 5 years old. An absolute institution of the East Bay. Incredible food. Incredible service. Always accommodating. Reasonably priced and massive plates. Just took a few friends here as an adult and it remains as best diner I’ve ever been to!

Perfect scrambled eggs. Perfect home style potatos. The first bite of the gravy was creamy n very flavorful. It was kinda thick tho. Very much stick to ur bones.

Soo much Alameda history in this shop! I remember it only being a counter and tables along the wall when I was a kid, and I remember when they expanded it to have more tables in the back! 3 generations owned and going strong! Glad to know my parents still frequent this place! I'm always glad to go here with my wife and kids!
