Still a classic after re-opening!! the menu is slightly different from before closing in 2024 but it is largely the same place. yummy options aplenty. Note that gratuity is additionally charged automatically to support employees so menu prices don’t reflect the whole price - it’s worth it though! picture is the maple orange glazed chicken sandwich, my personal go to.

I had the French toast combo, had a not to sweet cinnamon toasted just perfectly, with the pork tenderloin, with surprisingly smokey tasty flavor,

The breakfast sandwich is so good and I love the snail drawing on my bag it is so cute :)

This place is incredible! I loved the Good Luck Eggs (which I mostly chose to get bc of the name). They had grits here that were incredible. Made me feel a little less homesick.

Wow, I had biked by this place a bunch of times in the past and I’m so glad I stopped in today. I love the salsa and hot sauces on the table, the staff, and the vibes of the place. I’ll definitely be back 😍

They make everything from scratch and these kind of diners are an anomaly nowadays. Four kinds of house made hot sauces, jam and seasonal specialties, gluten free toast, easy parking in the neighborhood, the most awesome staff, family-run, community-minded. What’s not to love?

Home Fry Heaven is an understatement. Both of the meals I ordered were supremely comforting and obviously made with affection. This is going to be our new breakfast spot! Oh and.. the takeout containers (including the bag!) were all compostable. That was such a nice touch and really appreciated.

Good food. Great people. One of the best things about this place is that when you support them you are in turn also supporting the local community as they give back to those in need with their everyone eats policy.

I was poking around the Plaza looking for a place to get a sando, when I overheard a couple of Pinhead Hipsters talking about their favorite Berkeley cafe. The leader of this two person posse said, and..without a doubt the Grunwald Café is the best in Berkeley, but his little yesboy called him on it, and declared the Homemade Cafe is the top cat in Berkeley! So...off I went. The chicken sando was indeed the best in Crazy Town! 5 ☆☆☆☆☆

Great diner. We had the scallion hash - a special - and corned beef hash. Pancakes were stuffed with blueberries and a great share. Very fluffy. Biscuits looked great.

I'm a cancer patient living on extremely low income. Disabled. Homemade Cafe is a godsend! Their "everybody eats" program is awesome!! I'm able to eat a good, hot, wholesome meal from time-to-time. Today, I had the Corned beef hash breakfast today, and it was delicious. The staff is very nice always. To the establishment: THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart, for looking out for the underprivileged in our community!

We often don’t appreciate things enough until they’re gone. I’m pleased to report that Homemade Cafe is back after the long closure. A rare miracle for us all to appreciate! They may be working out issues with all the new staff, but we’re all rooting for this spot to return to form 🤞

I was so happy that Homemade was reopening. And then I went and ate and OH MY GOODNESS. It was so delicious. I had a sausage biscuit breakfast sandwich and it came with two fairly large sandwiches, so I brought one home. The biscuit was delish, service was lovely, coffee was good and plentiful. Kiddo had pancakes and I wanted to eat those too. Highly recommend and I will go back soon and often.

The fried chicken and eggs florentine were out of this world! The veggie omelette was perfect! We will be back again soon!

Nahhh the home fries were some of the best I've had. They know what they're doing here. Cute breakfast spot with cool art hanging up. The staff was awesome - I wanted any type of parfait or fruit and the cook made up a special thing for me to get that! Very grateful and appreciate the vibes here

Really quaint and friendly corner breakfast spot. Cage free eggs and we sampled various baked goods that were exceptional. Waffle is delicious and they also serve grits. Specials looked very inviting, although I didn't try one. Service was thorough and extra friendly. The staff made our visit very very enjoyable.

Really top notch breakfast place. All the meats and breads are local. I got the Cornbeef hash my first time and the Mexican eggs the second. Service was quick and professional and love the way the space is decorated. A true American style breakfast gem.

All I know is that "Homemade Cafe, ain't scared to put healthy hearty food on your plate" and if u low on cash/credit ask for the (1time) Daily Free Meal Menu "🟡" I choose the combo. 1/2 meat

Well seasoned chicken, the waffle maker was broken today, the substitute was a pancake which was light, fluffy and buttery. The staff was friendly and attentive.

We've come here twice and have not had to wait for a table either time. The food and drinks are alright, nothing to write home about but solid. They have a patio on the street which was warm, but the nearby streets makes it kind of loud. Today the service was lacking; the servers forgot multiple things in our order. They charge an automatic 20% gratuity so staff may not be incentivized to try too hard. They were courteous but sort of aloof.

A 20% tip was pre-added to the bill without disclosure and couldn’t be adjusted. You serve yourself water, get your own coffee, and walk to the counter to pay, so there isn’t really any service that warrants a 20% tip (you’re essentially paying the worker’s wage, as their receipt even says). The servers never checked in after dropping off the food, and the table wasn’t clean; there was still food stuck on it after staff wiped it down. They also seemed understaffed, as the bathroom was nasty 😭. At this point, I’d rather just pick up the food myself. About half an hour after eating (my first and only meal of the day) my stomach didn’t feel great. I’m in agony hours after 🙃

One of the worst meals I’ve ever had then had the nerve to add a 20% tip on my bill without letting me know ahead of time! The doughy pancakes were advertised as the best pancakes ever and they were disgusting and the worst I ever had. The coffee cake was like dried corn bread. The potatoes look like they were scraped off the back of the flat top and whatever syrup they use was watery with a weird taste. I really don’t understand how this restaurant has 4.3 stars. I ordered a fruit bowl with pancakes and my partner ordered a 2 egg breakfast with sausage with a corn bread coffee extra and my bill came up to $48 somehow.

Automatuc gratuity of 20% for a one person meal is actual extortion. If I want to tip I will if I don't I will not. Auto gratuity is for groups of 5+ I worked in the industry. Worst part is that total my auto gratuity went to 8$ when I would have easily kept 10$ of my own volition. Stop with the autogratuity stuff makes you look bad and greedy. Also your biscuits and gravy is like 80% biscuits (ginormous size) and 2p% gravy. Ngl would gave been better if yall just closed down.

Absolutely horrible experience. Everything that could go wrong did. Terrible parking, had to park 4 blocks away. The bathroom was a scene from a horror movie (dirty, flies, toilet didn't flush, etc.). There was a hair in our food and the food was undercooked. The service was okay, but a bit chaotic and unorganized. I will never go back.

Adrienne

I went because I coworker was always talking about how much they like this place. The food was okay. Biscuits were too dense and hard. Had to refill your own coffee and water. Bathroom was stinky, table was sticky, flies, and overall poor atmosphere.
