Homemade Cafe American Restaurant ·$$

Homemade Cafe is your neighborhood diner, serving classic, delicious breakfast and lunch fare in Berkeley. Stop by and try our home fries today. Whatever we don't make in-house, we source from other local companies. When we can't make it Homemade, we do the next best thing -- buy homegrown and support East Bay businesses. The Homemade Cafe was opened in 1979 when previous owners Norm and Janet trekked cross country to pursue their dreams of opening a local diner in sunny California. In 35 years we've grown, laughed, and cried with our neighborhood friends while carrying out our single mission - serving great food. In 2011, Norm and Janet sold the restaurant to long time employee Collin. Having grown up a Berkeley kid, Collin grew up eating at Homemade and eventually got his first job as a busboy at the cafe. After learning how the ropes by working in every position from dishwasher to kitchen manager (and a brief hiatus at NYU) Collin is active in all day to day activities and is committed to the restaurant and the neighborhood.

Gave this place a chance even though we love Tanzies which is next door. Ordered some of their lattes: the lavender latte and cardamom latte. The lavender latte was so bad...had to throw it...

I had chicken strips and fries. The fries were good. I felt bad for the gal because her manager was insisting that she ask for full price. Chicken strips dry. Do not order the chili dog. I won't...
