Basic Cafe And Grill - Emeryville

Super cool cafe, good Sunday morning box stop great tea and coffee. I saw others with breakfast, next time I will get the waffle because it looked so delicious with fresh berries!

If you like a ton of rosemary in your potatoes or tabasco in your holandais sauce, you might enjoy brunch here. We did not. Odd location too. It backs info an apartment building court yard so people walk by with their laundry baskets. Nice staff but odd everything else.

We had brunch here last Sunday — a party of 4. You have to order at the counter, and the wait staff were clearly new to the job, unfamiliar with the cash register software, and very disorganized. The orders all came at different times, some drinks arriving right away and others not till we asked (more than once) about them. Special requests were forgotten, the grits were cold when they finally arrived. We waited 45 minutes for our egg dishes, and then the eggs were not properly cooked (underdone) and were still not properly cooked (overdone — I think they just put the same eggs back into the pan) when they came back a second time. Our overall impression was that this could be a good place — the food has potential and the wait staff were willing and trying hard — but they don't yet have their act together. The place needs a good manager to help put all the pieces together. I hope they get one, because I would like to see them succeed.

Firts time . Had the Huevos Rancheros(the chorizo was awesome! ...yummy! Great space both inside and out(patio next to fountain , great service, great music, really good coffee. Can't wait to go back.
