Brezo — Restaurant in Albany

I came to write a review to support the owners bcz they are such sweet and incredibly hard working people. The food is rly fresh, flavorful and good, th portions are huge. The Calico salad is my favorite salad as a non salad eater lol! The burger and fried chicken sandwich are so perfectly seasoned and juicy. They have rotating specials like the ceaser chicken wrap, crab sandwich, or corned beef/reuben something like that. They are soo good it's rly sad when they don't have that special that day hahah. My favorite thing to get there is the chilaquiles however bcz im js a brunch girly and I Love a green chilaquiles that's not too sour and still a little bit crispy.. 10/10. The only thing is u might have to wait sometimes at night when it gets super busy bcz the staff is small. But they still come out pretty fast and they are rly a perfect spot to come for lunch. I know the owners are rly trying to get business up so they can maintain a good level of staff.. this place is honestly so unassuming in its Albany location, it's being slept on but it's rly a gem and I want to see it thrive so it can stay for years and years. Also the owner Hector will come out and personally greet u in his rly shy way because he is js the sweetest man on th planet. Pls support this...

Had brunch with my wife here because they just opened up in Albany. We shared the scone, I ordered the Chilaquiles and my wife ordered the breakfast sopes.

Everything was delicious and food came out in good timing. The staff was also attentive and gave us space to eat and chat.

Would come here again!

We also ordered the Tri Tip Sandwich and the Chicken Gordita to-go. Also super tasty! Really though, try this place out yourself!

Went back for lunch with my wife to try different items on the brunch menu. Wife got the Mt.Tam Potatoes, I got the banana French toast (both served in a generous serving size). We couldn't help ourselves so we got a scone to share, a blueberry pancake and a banana pancake with fried chicken on the side.

Everything came out timely and tasted amazing. Consistency is something we feel demonstrates whether a restaurant has their stuff down or not. Second time ordering the scone was not a disappointment. The service was also consistent, they were readily available but we didn't feel rushed. We will continue...

I have been to Brezo perhaps 4 times and every time I order something different and it is a delight. The menu is carefully curated and I don’t think you can wrong with any order. I have loved everything I’ve ordered here. Fish dishes are consistently great and the kids menu is a sure bet. The desserts are a Must Try. We had the pavlova and it was a revelation— and I’m not a meringue fan. Brunch is phenomenal as well— there are , incredibly, a number of gluten free options for brunch. My celiac aunt loved her gluten free brunch when I took her here. Basically, just come. This place is a total gem. Not stuffy, kid friendly if you want, and...
