Found this sweet spot after a local referred us.
Love the U-shaped counter & straight forward breakfast menu that includes grits and banana pancakes; the sriracha sauce at each counter stop. The OJ isn’t Minute Maid, the coffee strong, smooth & hot.
Regulars get served fastest and first, so if you're a newbie, be prepared for a wait.

They didn't bring coffee until after the food arrived. Service was pretty hectic in general. Strangely, I didn't care. The menu is everything you could want and the place is vintage Bay Area, oozing West Oakland. Will definitely return!

Really cute little place. Nice atmosphere. Tasty food and good service for reasonable prices. I had a breakfast burrito with tofu and avocado and it was good with their pico de gallo. Tried their pancakes too and I want more. Bar seating and some outside tables. They have beer bottled and on tap if that is what you are into with your breakfast or lunch fare. Kimchi and some Korean options in addition to the diner fare. Make sure you try the coffee. It was the best diner coffee I have had in a long time.

I love restaurants with a homely vibe to them, and this is the place to go. Friendly staff and good food.

Nice little hole in the wall Oakland breakfast spot. Nothing special, but a solid breakfast nonetheless

Good food. At least one of the people working there (perhaps it was the owner or manager?) is also an incredibly sweet person. She gives meals to a number of homeless and struggling people in the area. It's nice to see a good chef with a good heart.

Good vibes, good service in a great atmosphere, a real neighborhood joint. Unfortunately the food is decidedly subpar, tried this place several times and was let down. It would be nice if they stepped up their game, the Bottoms needs a spot like this

This place has changed in the last few years! Definitely miss the old vibes, which would have gotten 5 stars. The breakfast is still pretty good, just not as consistent as years before. Biscuits and gravy is usually my pick, but it hasn't always arrived hot. Great flavor when they do! Tried the chilaquiles, also pretty good.
Also be on the lookout when you park across the street, lots of car break ins. It happened to us in June, nothing was taken, just a shattered window. Have gone back since & haven't had any issues. .
Overall still has much of its original charm, just seems to depend on who is working. I miss Sing, the woman who used to work there and remember everyone who was a repeat customer. She was the best!
