Cafe Reveille

I’ve been going to 4th street for years and stumbled on this place after Googling “salad”. It wasn’t even the first result, but it’s everything. The food is healthy and yummy. You can add chicken to all the salads. The staff is kind. They serve up beautiful espresso drinks with organic milk on a Strada machine. Indoor marble tables and a patio with sun and shade. I don’t consider the lunch places in the area very good but this place is in a league of its own!

Once I discovered cafe réveille it changed my life! There is surprisingly a lack of cute brunch places in the bay, but this place is the perfect spot for quality food & adorable ambiance. My girlfriends & I love coming here in the morning or stopping by in the day for a matcha!

I had some time to kill and needed a place to post up on my laptop. I was delighted to find this place, with both indoor and outdoor seating. I enjoyed the dirty chai and the falafel bowl! I’ve marked this as a place to stop when I’m in the area :)

This is such a cute cafe, perfect for a nice breakfast/brunch/lunch!! Both the indoor and outdoor seating options are really cute, with umbrellas outdoors that make the outdoor seating incredibly pleasant! We didn’t mind waiting for our food, as it was crowded, because it’s such a nice atmosphere. The food was very light, but filling, and was a very refreshing meal! Also the iced tea was really good. I got the breakfast sandwich with the works and it was very fresh and tasty! Would highly recommend

I visited Cafe Reveille in Berkeley, CA, and it was such a great experience! The place was super clean, had a relaxing atmosphere, and the food was absolutely amazing. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Whether you're stopping in for coffee, breakfast, or a quick bite, this spot delivers. Definitely one of my favorite finds—I'll be coming back whenever I'm in town!

Cafe Réveille is a stylish and welcoming cafe that fits perfectly into the San Francisco coffee scene. The moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels relaxed yet lively. The space has a modern design with plenty of natural light. It’s a great place to start the morning or take a midday break. The smell of fresh coffee hits you right away.

Update: Service quality has bumped up. I come here for lunch 2-3x/week. Food and coffee is always really yummy at this and the other locations, but the service was feeling like it was mild energy, but recently has been gaining vibrancy and warmth again. I am in love with the fried plantain bowl, add grilled chicken. Obsessed.

We needed a coffee shop that served food where we can easily watch our car. This place checked all the boxes as the outdoor seating and some indoor seats overlooks the public parking lot. We came when there was a lull in the crowd but not quickly filled up with people. Coffee was great. I snacked on a side of bacon.

Good food and good coffee. Staff member was very nice, knew about our dietary restrictions well and helped a lot.

Love this spot for a quick lunch during my workday. They have really delicious healthy bowls, with veggies and vegan options. I have tried their crunchy bowl and their tahini squash bowl and both were yummy. My friend has gotten the acai bowl and it was a little over frozen, a small complaint because it came to temp relatively quickly. It's best to come here when the weather is nice, because they don't have a ton of indoor seating. It was raining when we came in today and we were lucky to snag the last table. On a dry day you can enjoy their outdoor tables.

Very nice cafe for breakfast. It is on a quiet street (occasional train nearby). The staff were very nice. The outdoor seating simple yet very pleasing. We had breakfast on a Sunday morning and we had avery nice morning. The coffee was excellent (quantity small by Starbucks standards). Eggs and potato wedges with fresh sliced avocado was fantastic. Highly recommended for weekend breakfast.

So impressed! Great prices, quality ingredients! We had the breakfast bowl, breakfast sandwich and the home style breakfast and we loved them all! Will be back next time we’re in town!

So, I've been making bimonthly trips down to Berkeley recently, and have discovered this amazing place for incredible food close to my workshop. I have been mostly amazed at the food quality and the healthiness and deliciousness of the food. My favorite has been their brunch item on the weekend with roasted potatoes, poached eggs, arugula salad and sage. It's really good!!! I also fell in love with their psychedelic salad! Their roasted chicken breast is also delicious. I don't drink coffee, so I can't comment about that. But seriously healthy delicious food!!!!! I eat it every day that I'm there!

First to arrive on a gray Sunday morning and got to marvel at the excellent setting with large open windows between the inside and outside. We sat outside near the healthy lovely succulents and ate really tasty food. The coffee cake was very delicious with subtle flavors and the breakfast burrito was very good , the shakshuka was okay. Very expensive

My friends raved about the breakfast burrito, so that’s what I got for a Sunday brunch. We had a group of 10 and there was one table that could fit us but we did need to borrow chairs to squeeze us in. Indoor and outdoor seating available. They call out your name for drinks once it’s ready, but they’ll bring your food to your table (they’ll give you a number). You order and pay first, then get seated. There’s free parking available. Credit cards only. The burrito is naturally vegetarian but you can pay extra to add meat. I had a matcha latte as well (extra charge for almond or oat milk) which was decent. The burrito is small but dense; I particularly enjoyed the green sauce that came in the side (this is what made the burrito stand out).

We've been for coffee a few times and it's lovely. Today we had breakfast and it was so simple and delicious. Really nailed it. We had the breakfast sandwich with "the works" and shakshuka✨

Had the chilaquiles. Hearty, and portion generous, with a full half of an avocado; but the sauce, surprisingly, was a bit bland. Coffee was not particularly good.

The Acai bowl was good, the chai was delicious, the barista was kinda rude🥲

Average food with uncaring service in a beautiful space. Had high hopes given reviews and San Francisco location however left disappointed. Scrambled eggs and roasted levain bread were average. Merguez sausage patties had good flavors but nothing like merguez sausages at La Note. Cortado and cappuccino also average. The outdoor space is delightful, with several bistro tables and nice umbrellas for shade. Also fairly quiet given location is 1 block off busy 4th Street. This establishment could be so much more with a few adjustments that wouid benefit all clients. Not sure I will return given Betty’s Ocean Diner and M Cafe are 1-2 blocks away - if I do this review will be updated.

Healthy food choices but service was slow. We waited 40 minutes for our one bowl. Staff did not seem to care that it took that long. Recommend going if you have time and don’t need to grab lunch during the work week.

Just got a salad thinking it cant harm me, boy I was wrong. Instant stomach problems. I'll spare you the details. Never ordering a salad here again. Otherwise this is a lovely cafe with really good sandwiches. First and last time ill be ordering a salad.
