Blackberry Bistro

Super friendly and welcoming service. So happy they have vegan diner options for breakfast!! Tofu scramble was delicious. Big menu with something for everyone and reasonable prices. Don't sleep on thr blackberry jam that comes with the toast! Will for sure be back.

My husband and I have been here 3–4 times now, and we absolutely love this place. It’s always very clean, and the food is fresh and delicious. We went in yesterday for a early breakfast then we took a walk down our favorite trail. We ordered the prawn and grits with a side of applewood bacon, which I technically shouldn’t be eating since I don’t eat pork 😅 but it was SO good. It also came with a soft, fluffy biscuit. We shared a side of eggs, and everything was cooked perfectly. We also ordered the Indian tea with ginger, cloves, and other warming herbs, perfect for this season. Sally, who is usually our host/waitress, is incredibly sweet and welcoming. She always checks in on us, and we’ve never had a single complaint about the service or the food. If you haven’t tried this spot yet, definitely add it to your list of breakfast/brunch places. It’s located in a beautiful area in Oakland and is absolutely worth the visit. Thank you Sally!!

We went there a few days ago and then again today, and the server was so warm, kind, and friendly—she’d honestly make a great doctor, nurse, or caretaker. The food is delicious and the service is wonderful. There’s an open house literally next door, and if I lived there, I’d probably come here every day. We really love this place and would love to be regulars!

Absolutely amazing Benedicts! California Benedict & the Smoked Salmon Benedict shown with a side of chicken apple sausage links. What a wonderful stop in. Friendly and swift service in a beautiful bistro! Some of the best Benedicts I've ever had. I wish I had been able to try the Crepe Suzette but I just would not have had room. Wonderful experience and would visit again. Enjoy your stop in! I hope you have an amazing visit!

What an experience! From the first moment I walked in, I was greeted by the most beautiful and charming waitress. The inside was very colorful as was the new and unique menu. Every single item on the menu sparked my interest. I wish I had a bigger stomach. As a chef I get very bored of menus these days with the same options wherever you go. Almost as if people have lost their love of food or ability to create. This place is everything but that! Healthy, beautiful, mouth watering menu items with fresh and unique ingredients. To start I ordered a pot of chai tea. It was brought to me in a small iron kettle. The aroma was memorizing and once it hit my pallet I was transported to another time and place. All the stress of my morning commute just washed away and I was suddenly able to truly take in the morning morning all around me. For my entree I ordered the South East African special. The fava beans with garlic bread. It was a cultural culinary masterpiece. An explosion of flavors from the first taste. I ate it as slowly as I could to really soak in and cherish each carefully crafted bite. My waitress was very attentive and kind and I was even given the option for more garlic bread for my dish when I started to run low. Even the bathroom was an unexpected little gem beautifully decorated. This dining experience was one for the books and although I live hours away, I will be back here as often as I can and share this BEAUTIFUL BISTRO with as many people as possible. Support this business. Spend your money here. Let's keep this place going as long as they desire. We need more food and more people just like this.
