    Old gem in the lake Merritt area of Oakland. Providing indoor / sidewalk seating it's a nice atmosphere and environment to enjoy a Joe's Special with a nice mimosa on the side!..

    When visiting and it's crowded ask for a table upstairs or near the kitchen!

    If you order off the "special" menu, a Mimosa is $3.95. The Belgian waffle with bananas and strawberries was tasty. Service was ok...drink person couldn't answer basic menu questions. Cute patio!

    the strawberry mimosas are only $1.95 on weekends and apparently holidays (4th of July), they get you pretty buzzed and they taste like heaven

    Serviceable. Nothing special, but then again there is nothing better on the block for a full breakfast. I'd go ham and eggs.
