Dee Spot — Restaurant in Emeryville

I am so confused by all the negative reviews. I walked in,and was kindly greeted by the owner almost immediately. He asked me if i wanted breakfast or lunch. I said breakfast, he recommended the breakfast sandwich on the Texas toast. IT IS ONE OF THE BEST BREAKFAST SANDWICHES IN THE EAST BAY. Yes, it's a bit greasy (like a good b-fast sandwich should be) but not too much to handle. I was blown away at the care he took in making it for me. The coffee was solid. The guy who runs this place really cares about his craft, don't know why all these people are hating. He makes juices from scratch in the mornings! Give this place a shot. It's really pretty good.

I was just chatting with Chan & discovered that they donate all excess pastries & other expired foods to the local community on a weekly basis!

Bottom line is that Dee Spot is definitely putting their best foot forward to contributing to, and being a part of the...

Like so many places in our industry, proper staffing is incredibly difficult to find, and then workers reap people’s confusion and anger over a problem the establishment has literally no control over. The guy at this cafe does pretty much everything by himself. If you are patient: you will be rewarded with an amazingly huge and tasty sandwich for not much money. If you are impatient… well, you should go work on you. Big shout out to all the independent cafes and restaurants in the Bay that are working hard through the tough times. (No, the pandemic certainly isn’t anywhere close to over for this industry....
