Cafe McBryde 4925 McBryde Avenue, Richmond, CA 94805

"This was a lovely spot to stop for a late breakfast consisting of French toast with 2 eggs and sausage, and a huge tuna salad. We arrived shortly after 1 p.m. and were done just a few minites before 2 p.m., closing time. The wait was very reasonable. The coffee, still just $2.75, was fresh with just about all the fixings at arm's reach and refillable! The prices were quite reasonable compared to many comparable establishments and considering the rate of inflation. I was glad the cafe was empty at the time, since I'm still very cautious with the spread of COVID, but there were at least two to-go orders filled while we were there. The tables all appeared to be clean as well as their single handicap accessible restroom, which was well stocked. The waitress (blonde) was friendly and talkative, but did not bother us. She checked in on us a couple times and offered to refill our coffee. I did not take photos of their menu, since someone else posted them, in part, in the last couple of days. My only dislike was some of the hard rock music playing in the back, aside from the pleasant 70s rock n roll, coming from the kitchen, which probably helped the cook keep moving. I just don't care for the high pitch electric guitar sound, but otherwise any 60s-70s tunes is great. Overall: Scrumptious, clean, and friendly staff."

"My better half and I decided to hit up this hidden gem fueled by stellar reviews, and let me tell you, it was a game-changer. The grub was nothing short of fantastic. The missus went all-in for the banana pancakes, and I've got to say, they were next-level. As for our scrambled eggs jazzed up with our favorite veggies – absolute perfection. Now, let's talk service. Leslie, our speedy, courteous server, brought the A-game. The French toast? Unquestionably one of the best I've savored in ages. The place got a bit buzzing post 11 o'clock, but fear not, a table or two still up for grabs. Leslie, our breakfast wizard, orchestrated the morning feast flawlessly. This spot has skyrocketed to the top of our breakfast haven list. Trust us, if you're on the prowl for a stellar morning meal, this joint is the real deal. Leslie and the whole breakfast experience get a resounding thumbs up from us – a must-try in our breakfast adventure log!"

"I do not recommend. I had my eye on this place for a while and finally got the chance to go, and I won't be back. I like that it is small and friendly, but I can't recommend it otherwise. We had a party of 2, and we waited 50 minutes for our food to come out of the kitchen (I was paying attention because we had just come from a 9 a.m. appt and had another appt at 11). I'm thinking they were waiting for the chickens to get old enough to lay eggs? Anyway, when the food finally did arrive, it was bland and barely warm. I ordered an omelette and although I emphatically said YES to cheese in the omelette, it didn't have any (or if it did, I couldn't find it). The other plate was ice cold (I'm not kidding, like it came out of the fridge), with sad rubbery pancakes and rubbery bacon. No thank you."

"Excellent food excellent service Portions are huge and the fresh hash browns were great."

"Woah, what a difference change of ownership makes. Haven’t been here for years due to past experiences. Now, the staff has put this on my go to lists for meals. Leslie helped us that morning. Ordering and receiving are food was quick. We ordered the pancakes, two egg breakfast platter and guess what?! They have vegetarian AND vegan options, so I had a vegan breakfast burrito. Very enjoyable. Loved the food (thank you chef) and service (thank you Leslie). Street parking."
