This café in Berkeley has a rustic feel. There are paintings of women all around the café in earth tones. The open kitchen takes up a large section of the restaurant. There is limited seating.
Yellow Lentil Soup – The soup was warm and hearty, but flavorless. Cup $3 Bowl $5.
Mom’s Tuna Melt – The tuna melt is interesting, served with carrots to give it its crunch. It’s a pretty standard tuna melt, nothing bursting with excitement or anything bad. Served with two small watermelon triangles. $5.95
I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here again, but it’s not so bad that I wouldn’t go back. The staff is friendly, but there’s nothing to draw me in here. One thing I would try if I went again would be their blackberry lemonade which looked very appetizing. It was cool that their bathroom had a vacant/occupied lock, but some patrons will still try to pull on the door despite the indicator that the bathroom is occupied.
