A Bagel Letdown: Abe's Cafe 3 Star Disappointment

This place had the potential for a breakfast win, but sadly, it fell flat in most areas. Let's get this out of the way first: the atmosphere is, well, lacking. It feels more like a forgotten corner than a vibrant breakfast spot. Service wasn't much better - think disinterested and impersonal.

Now, onto the main event: the food. With high hopes, I dove into their bagel with eggs. Unfortunately, the bagel itself was a major disappointment. Small and underwhelming, it lacked the satisfying heft you crave in a good breakfast bagel. To make matters worse, it wasn't even toasted properly, leaving me with a mouthful of doughy disappointment.

The price point for this underwhelming experience? Shockingly high. For what I got, I could have had a far superior breakfast elsewhere.

Unless you're desperate and have low expectations, I'd recommend steering clear. There are much better bagel and egg options out there that won't leave you...

This place is quite legit since menus here are quite tasty. I have not visited this place that much to be honest but I really enjoyed sandwiches I ordered and tried so far: Carnitas sandwich and steak cheese one.

Just one thing to note is, I could feel a bit of smell of pork in the carnitas but I was totally fine with it. But it might bother some of you who are not familiar with that kind of smell so I would like to tell you to beware. Cheese steak was fine. I was worried at a glance when I was served this dish since the bread seemed very hard. It was much softer than I was worried though. Very enjoyable and I'm willing to visit here again.

If you think the stuffed INN is a bit too light for your meal but you still wanna grab some sandwich then this is the right place you've gotta try. I would give...

Abe is I a great man and his cafe is up to his standard! Thanks to his sister Patricia and MariCruz (who work Mon non stop behind the scene) they have great food, good quantity and good quality. They also have the best espresso in town (I am from the south of italy) and all other Italians on campus they know and most of them come here. The service is great! Over three months I have had every lunch at abe's and he has sufficient variety in his menu to make you happy all the time. HE CARES and he has passion for what he does. HE puts effort and you are rewarded for that so that he can be rewarded in turn. Will miss this guy in few weeks when I'll leave Berkeley. Come here and bring your...
