Tomate Cafe

How has my mom not been here? She would love it. I came with my dad at least once, possibly twice.

The food is very good. It's breakfast food, nothing extraordinarily innovative, but it looks and feels very clean, which is something I don't normally notice or comment on.

The real attention-getter, the reason you come here, is its surprisingness and quaintness. You don't expect to find a place like this where it is in West Berkeley, but it's here! And you're not imagining things.

I'll definitely be back, but I tend not to think of Berkeley anymore, which is understandable and sad and justified, but ancient. (Make mine a 99.)

Veggie burrito a must try, very delicious and filling, service excellent, fast hot and fresh!

The staff is always kind to me. I go every other week.
It's $$ and the food is like okay but it's fast, they're really sweet and always helpful.


I have gotten the Turkey cold cut sandwich....I don't usually do cold cuts. Wouldn't order again. The chicken burrito is delicious!! The chicken sandwich okay.

A lot of options have pork so I can't go here as often.

Great service and great price for the food quality!
Great greatness and service. Super friendly!
We are in town visiting our son. We brought our furry baby. I searched "dog friendly restaurant" This one came up near us. We went everything was great. No signs on the door about dogs. We order and decided to sit inside as the wind was picking up.
We got our food and one of the servers asked is we had our dog papers.... I said papers!? She replied yes to be inside. We told her yes but I was still confused. My husband then told me, she is asking as if she's a service dog.... Omg I felt like an idiot.
Anywho. She is not a service dog.
I do suggest for at least to put out a sign by door.
Anyway.... Everything clean and ver organized!

Never try to make a reservation here, the manager LIES. I had said my group of 12 were coming weeks ago and they took my name and number. Never got a call and they made a reservation for 40 people over mine which I find out the day before. I will not be coming to this cafe again, many other spots in the east bay can accommodate my group.

OVERPRICED is an understatement. We landed on this place because it was a Sunday and we didn't want to wait in brunch lines. Now I wish we had. I ended up only getting chicken apple sausage, 2 medium dry links, $6.95 and two pieces of toast, barely an any butter on the toast, $4.95. I asked for a bowl of fruit, $11.95!!!! TWELVE BUCKS FOR A BOWL OF FRUIT and SEVEN BUCKS for dry and dense chicken apple sausage. I cancelled the fruit once I saw it on the register screen and was like are you kidding me. The service was unfriendly, my total for 2 likes of gross sausage, which I didn't eat (had 3 bites), 2 pieces of toast and an almond milk cappuccino was $25 bucks. Never again will I come to this overpriced, unfriendly and frankly tasteless restaurant.

I have eaten lunch twice at this location and it's a great low key place! Never too busy, always clean, food has always been good, and the prices are very reasonable. I will surely come here more often

I came here for breakfast and ordered a classic breakfast of two over medium eggs, bacon, rye toast, and potatoes, which was $16.50- a bit pricey for a basic meal. I also ordered a latte which was $6.50! I'm not sure why. The food was okay. I asked for the potatoes to be well done and they were served so soggy and mushy. I did not eat them. The eggs were a little runny and the bacon was pretty good. Mediocre breakfast, over priced.

Great salads, fast service and a cute outdoor patio.
It's family owned and the staff is very kind, polite and always smiling.

Although I did happen to try some of their sweet baked goods and those were okay.

This salad place is definitely much better than the Italian place nearby.

Great sandwiches here. Lovely outdoor courtyard. Popular lunch spot for many nearby businesses. My coworkers and I enjoyed lunch here one sunny afternoon.
