The BEST egg sandwich I've had in quite some time portions are massive such great bang for your buck with the freshest ingredients. ALSO the spinach and pineapple juice was BOMB! To top it off Abe is such a great guy and really brightened my morning with his positive vibes and energy :) Thanks Abe!!!!

Mole quesadilla is the bomb!I've been going to Abe's since they opened over 7 years ago and it's still my favorite breakfast/lunch spot on the Northside. Great food, awesome people, convenient location.

I have been getting lunch from this place for about 2-3 years and I'm ashamed I didn't write a review sooner. There's a reason why this place is so highly rated. The food is delicious and the people who work there are amazing. Don't sleep on this place if you live in or close to Berkeley. My personal favorite is the special breakfast burrito (see photo) but everything on the menu is great.

Got a chicken empanada and a pecan swirl. As Prue Leith from GBBO would say, “worth all the calories.” The empanada was properly seasoned, doesn’t feel heavy. Perfect for breakfast. The star of the show is the pecan swirl, however. The best flaky, buttery pastry I had so far. Perfect level of sweetness. I should’ve taken Abe’s suggestion to have some coffee or tea. Definitely trying, the next time. :) Going to Abe’s in the morning is definitely going to set your mood for the day.

Fresh bagel! They don’t use any artificial seasoning so the taste is clean and deliciousTheir indoor space is not spacious, and only a few seats are available, but they do have many outdoor seats available!# Hummus & Avocado Jalapeños Bagel

Just an absolutely awesome restaurant with amazing, high quality food and actually gives you enough portion size.Kinda cliche but Abe’s Cafe has literally brightened my time at Berkeley lol especially these past semesters where it has gotten pretty tough and miserable. Thank you Abe’s Cafe for always making my day better every time I go!

Don't let the no frills atmosphere fool you; Abe's is amazing. The coffee and service was fantastic. Also, do yourself a favor and get more than one empanada and enjoy the flavor and salsa. Prices were reasonable by Berkeley standards.
