Dimond Cafe

I’m here right now! With friends and I’m feeling the food so far. I had a basic 2 by 2. And it’s good. I like mom and pop type places. The service is ok. I might stop by again.

Amazing little café, amazing food had the loaded potatoes with a side of avocado, amazing caramel latte, but no public restrooms

I really like this place great customer service and clean. Alway good when your serving food A+ i orderd a sausage egg and biscuit breakfast sandwich with a small Coco the young lady behind the counter was really nice to me I may have to bring my boyfriend here for breakfast.

The Diamond Café serves a solid breakfast and has unpretentious, genuinely friendly service.

We went here based off a recommendation from a local. It was pretty good but I don’t think it was anything great. There were a lot of others that came in that you could tell were regulars. The staff was friendly.

Went there today during my lunch with 5 of my co workers. The lady took 5 of their orders first because they went before us. Myself and my other co worker went in we ordered our food and payed with card. This was at 1:20. At 1:45 we still did not receive our food. My co worker went and asked what the wait time will be and she said it was done and gave my 4 co workers their food. Myself and co worker went and asked about our food and she said she lost our order and asked if we wanted to wait or our money back. Poorest customer service. We were over an hour late to work because she decided to lose our order. So pissed off. Never going back again.

1^st visit– best English muffin sandwich ever. Avocado, fried egg, tomato, sausage, spinach.
2^nd visit– wrong order. Still ate it.
3^rd visit– 20 minute wait? Order wrong. Hanger levels dangerously high as I write this review while I wait for my correct order.
Update: brought me my correct order and it was still wrong. Still ate it. Hanger extinguished.
Moral of the story– this place is pretty hit or miss but does the trick if you need cheap breakfast food.

One of my favorite hidden gems in the Dimond! I have visited this café a few times during my lunch break and haven’t been disappointed yet. The cashiers are very knowledgeable when asked about menu items and give great suggestions. It’s clean (major +) for me.
So far I’ve had the spicy chicken burger and the regular cheese burger. I keep going back to the cheese burgers because it’s amaze balls. Pro tip: DONT HESITATE, get the garlic fries! The best I’ve ever had.
Prices aren’t too steep. It’s about $ 10 for a burger and fries. Yes — the burgers are greasy. But that’s when you know it’s legit delicious right?! One of these days I’ll have to come in for breakfast… Keep it up Paul, Angel and crew!

I went in at 3:00pm and he said they were closed. Unilocal says they’re open til 4;00. Bummer.

Where can one find such delicious breakfast or brunch for a nice price? Where does one have free wifi? And has nice sitting areas? There is a place, and it’s called the Dimond café!
When you enter the location you are greeted with a friendly smile. And of course the, «is your order for here? Or to go?» Which is not bad. The food is beyond subpar. Each member in this café are friendly and patient!

This place is a gem! It’s located in the heart of the Dimond, just a block from my apartment complex. They remember your name and frequent orders, they are quick to take and crank out your order, and the food is bomb. The cheeseburgers (homemade bun!) and garlic fries are amazing, the breakfast burritos and breakfast sandwiches (especially on the homemade bun, OMG) are SO good, and the loaded potato dish I tried last weekend was absolutely delicious, though a little on the expensive side. I come here all the time because the owners & employees are sincerely great people that take pride in their business and the food never disappoints… So go support your local business and get your grub on!

Eh. It was okay. The ambiance was nice, the food was moderately priced. We ordered over the phone and picked it up. The French toast and potatoes were fantastic! The breakfast burritos had way too much veggies in it and not enough egg. The sausage was good. Burritos were tiny
From out of town, so was underwhelmed.

Local spot owned by Oaklanders!
I got the bagel sandwhich on a jalapeño bagel with bacon. Oh wow!!! The bagel was soft and easy to eat and the bacon tasted so good with the jalapeño! !!! Not a healthy breakfast, but a tasty one– for when I want to treat myself.
Nice neighborhood gem with happy people. I highly recommend it!

After reading all the great Unilocal reviews, I was excited to try this little spot. It’s just a few blocks from my house, so I really wanted to like this place. Sadly, I had a very poor experience.
I came with my wife and 2 year old son, and we ordered a breakfast sandwich and a breakfast burrito. There were only two other customers in the café at the time. The cashier was friendly, and we paid and sat down. A few more people came in, and she took their orders too. Then thirteen teenagers came in and things went downhill fast. The kids thought it was funny to ring the service bell over and over again. The cashier asked them several times to stop, but they just ignored her and kept banging away at it. They also thought it would be funny to flash the lights on and off, and get into shoving matches that ended with them smashing into tables. Delightful.
At this point the cashier starts complaining that she is all alone, and that the owner left her at this busy time to go do something «like he always does». It’s been about twenty minutes with no sign of our order, my kid is getting hungry and fussy, and I’m really out of patience with all the bell ringing, shoving, and light flashing.
It’s at this point I realise she is serving all the teenagers first and hasn’t even started on our meals. I ask her how much longer it will be, and she says «soon», but that she need to serve the kids first because «they have to catch a bus to school».
So because these extremely rude teenagers couldn’t be bothered to get here earlier, my entire family gets gets to wait? Our time is less important then theirs? She could have asked if I minded, asked if I was in a hurry too, or even just warned me that she was going to serve everyone else before us so I could have gone somewhere else. But no, she just makes us wait and doesn’t tell us she hasn’t even started on our food.
Thirty minutes later she finally STARTED working on our food when all the kids left. She clearly rushed it, as my wife’s breakfast potatoes and burrito was cold, and my sandwich was dry and flavorless.
She offered no apologies, just complained over and over again how hard it was for her as the boss left her alone again.
Sorry, but if the boss doesn’t want to pay for help during the rush, or at least be there himself, don’t put it on the customer!
Unless you love insanely long waits, obnoxious teenagers, and below average food, save yourself some trouble and stay away from this place!

Excellent place to grab breakfast and lunch! The french toast is super good!!! I haven’t had a meal here that I haven’t loved! The staff are super friendly and service is fast. The food taste fresh and the prices are great! I wish I lived closer so I could go more often! This place is awesome!

I came here with my boyfriend today and EVERYTHING WAS OUTSTANDING! We will be back!

It’s cool. Staff are caffinated and very bubbly! I enjoyed the veggie breakfast bagel, fresh ingredients was yummy! Will deff be back!

Good neighborhood spot. Good people. Solid breakfast food.
I really like this place because you know what it is when you’re walking into it, and it’s not trying to be more than it is. Have only been here once and got a pretty basic breakfast, but I’m sure I’ll be coming back regularly.

I don’t find myself in Fruitvale often, but when I think about that area, I come to the conclusion that the neighborhood offers a pretty impressive variety of food. It’s not just anywhere that you can find fried chicken and oxtails at one place and just down the street, a bowl of menudo and some mangonada in another. In that spirit, it was my Unilocal app that drew me to this compact spot right on Fruitvale Avenue. I was looking for a hearty breakfast after my regular haircut and read the positive reviews about this place. I drove over and parked in the busy Farmer Joe’s lot to avoid the constant honking that comes with parallel parking. That worked out just fine since I needed to get some groceries afterward anyway.
To be perfectly honest, the Dimond Café didn’t look like much of a place with the table set-​up reminding me more of a donut shop, especially since there wasn’t anyone actually dining there (photo:
). But looks can be deceiving since they served a full-​fledged breakfast menu from French toast and eggs to omelets and breakfast burritos. I decided on the $ 8.75 Fruitvale Omelet since it was chock full of ingredients — turkey sausage, green onions, spinach, tomatoes and shredded jack and cheddar cheese melted on top. It came with a heaping portion of country potatoes and wheat toast (photo:
). It was certainly more than I expected even if it was on the oily side. If you’re looking for a back-​to-​basics breakfast, this certainly fits the bill.
FOOD — 3 stars… a hearty omelet could use less oil on the potatoes even though that didn’t stop me from devouring them
AMBIANCE — 2.5 stars… like I said, a donut shop
SERVICE — 3.5 stars… definitely friendly and happy to accept orders for hot food
TOTAL — 3 stars… a simple café for simple tastes

The best place ever ! Love you Angel, Johnson, Paul. Thank you for always taking care of me and my belly … PLEASE EAT HERE folks I recommend the sunshine. And everything on the menu …

Por las mananas un café y un croissant para en pezar el dia, y que mejor que en diamond café, super atentos, amigables y tan temprano…
