Jack London Square's family diner since 1988!

Open daily, 7:00 AM – 9:00 PM

Tucked on the corner of Broadway and 3rd Street, our Oakland diner has been serving Jack London Square for over three decades — long before the waterfront became the buzzing spot it is today. We're two blocks from the Oakland Amtrak station and an easy walk from the ferry terminal, which makes us a regular stop for commuters grabbing eggs before a train, weekend visitors in from San Francisco, and locals who just want a plate of pancakes without the wait. Sunday mornings, you'll find us packed with the Farmers' Market crowd heading down to the bay walk after breakfast. On game days, we're the easy pre- or post-A's-game stop for anyone parked near the square. And if you're staying at one of the hotels nearby, we're the diner the front desk will point you to — scratch-made food, big portions, and the same recipes Debbie's been cooking since 1988.

Parking:
We have a small lot on-site (about 10 spaces) at the corner of 3rd & Broadway, plus metered street parking along 3rd Street and two public parking garages within a block — handy on busy weekend mornings or when there's an event at the square.
