The location in the waterfront industrial Park is great, with very comfortable indoor and outdoor seating – also it’s clean. The gentleman who took my order was not friendly at all, and I didn’t get acknowledged while he was reading his phone standing at the register in front of me for a solid minute. Scrambled eggs were good, but… the “very crispy bacon” I requested twice was greasy, thin and limp. Potatoes were tasteless and the rye toast may have very lightly broiled on one side but it was soggy. Oh, and all of this with a small coffee for $17. Next time I’ll go to Jim’s or bring my own breakfast and get a cuppa Joe here.

My husband and I stopped for lunch on a bike ride that passed through the the area. It’s a hidden lunch gem in a office space, but we’re glad we found it. We went halfsies on the Sicilian chicken sandwich and the falafel wrap. Both were delicious, but the falafel wrap was the real standout. I’d go out of my way to come back for another one of those.

Breakfast bacon burrito was delicious and tasted homemade. The Hot salsa was surprisingly delicious. Great selection of bottled drinks too.

Ordered a double cheese burger to go. The burger was very dry. I’m pretty confident the burger patty is from Costco. Nothing wrong with that but it was very overcooked and dense. Also as you can see the bun was burnt. At least give me a new bun! It’s the last part of making a burger jeez

I ordered a hot spicy chicken sandwich and it was very good. The restaurant feels upscale and there’s plenty of outdoor seating.

I hired Why Cook? to cater an event for 75 people expecting good food. They delightfully exceeded my expectations. I choose BBQ chicken and pork. Wow!! The food was beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. I highly recommend that you consider them when planning events.

Great place for fresh foods, including Middle Eastern, USA and Mexican choices plus a salad bar. Open clean room. Casual. Outside tables too. Great place to wait for Oakland Airport, 6 minute drive
