Abe's Café - Berkeley

A Bagel Letdown: Abe's Cafe 3 Star Disappointment This place had the potential for a breakfast win, but sadly, it fell flat in most areas. Let's get this out of the way first: the atmosphere is, well, lacking. It feels more like a forgotten corner than a vibrant breakfast spot. Service wasn't much better think disinterested and impersonal. Now, onto the main event: the food. With high hopes, I dove into their bagel with eggs. Unfortunately, the bagel itself was a major disappointment. Small and underwhelming, it lacked the satisfying heft you crave in a good breakfast bagel. To make matters worse, it wasn't even toasted properly, leaving me with a mouthful of doughy disappointment. The price point for this underwhelming experience? Shockingly high. For what I got, I could have had a far superior breakfast elsewhere. Unless you're desperate and have low expectations, I'd recommend steering clear. There are much better bagel and egg options out there that won't leave you feeling ripped off.

Friendly neighborhood place, the Good Morning Yogurt bowl, with granola, banana and fresh berries is terrific. It was almost enough to get me to move to Berkeley!

Good people, good food. Had the daily special croissant sandwich. Incredibly fresh and packing with flavor. Eating here is a must and the cold brew was smooth and everything you’d want it to be.

Delightful local spot for delicious breakfast with courteous staff and delicious food. Will be a must stop when visiting Cal as it’s right next door

Just a nice place to grab a coffee, or sandwich, or even a plate of chile verde. Delicious, consistent, and friendly, Abe's is one of the best.
