Reviews for La Note in Berkeley, CA
Wonderful place to go for breakfast/brunch. They have unlimited house coffee refills which is good news for coffee lovers. I... tried the oats and raspberry pancakes while the husband tried their cheese omlette with sourdough bread and house fries on theside. He said he has not even that good an omlette before :) For drinks i ordered fresh orange juice while husband had coffee.Would definitely go here again if I am in Berkeley. Read more
I was so looking forward to this place since I heard really nice recommendations from my friend. I tried to make a reservation... but couldn’t reach them. We went there and put our name in waitlist. We were told it’s about 45min wait. However we actuallyended up waiting 2 hours! Maybe due to limited seats outside (we have a dog so need to sit outside), but just be aware theirestimate can be way off. We ordered a pancake with bacon and egg; and a omelette with whole wheat bread and home fries.Unfortunately the pancake was dry, the poached pears was delicious though. The omelette was normal. What I liked the most wasactually the home fries and their butter - their butter was so soft and creamy, delicious with the bread. They don’t have dogmenu but we ordered bacon and egg without seasoning for our dog so it worked. Read more
Neat small restaurant with excellent atmosphere. Service was great The food was pretty good and aesthetic. A bit on the... expensive end but the portion sizes are big so still good value. Read more
Food: 3/5 Service: 3.5/5 Ambiance 3.5/5 Overall: This place was packed and there was a slight wait for some standard fare... food. The extended review… Food: Gingerbread Pancakes – 3/5 – I’ve been to a few places where I could compare thetaste. The taste of the pancake was subtle and could have used a little more punch to it. Definitely could have used a littlemore pear as well. Bacon – 3.5/5 – A good serving of bacon and I appreciate that it was not crispy but chewy! Service:3.5/5 – Friendly and attentive service. Ambiance: 3.5/5 – So this place was very cute inside and out. The only thing I’dsay is that the inside was a little claustrophobic. Thankfully we sat outside in the patio which was very nice.

This was my third time dine in. I had good memories with this restaurant before. I went at 9:55 am on Sat. I was told to wait... 5-10 min for a outdoor table. Ended up waited 30 min which is understable. There were in total 4 heaters outside next to tablesbut two of them weren't working and it was 51 degree outside. Ordered two tea pots (Earl grey and english breakfast). We weretold that each tea pot can serve 2-3 cups. But they got us two cups of tea with a tea bag inside instead of two separate teapots. And told us that they ran out of the tea pots. Basically they charged us the same price for a cup of tea when it was for 3cups. Other than these tissues I had, foods were good. I really liked the vibe and the outdoor setting with tasty foods beforebut I don't think it is worth of waiting anymore. Foods are still good but the quality of service went down. Read more
Cozy little place for great brunch! We went there for Saturday brunch. There was a 20 minute wait but the service was quick and... so good! There's both indoor and outdoor seating. Mocha is to die for- easily one of the best I had in the Bay area. the potatoand carmelized onion omelette was bland to my taste but still good! Read more
Haven't been back in awhile, but my wife and I have always loved La Note as breakfast/lunch spot. Came for the first time after... the pandemic, and still a great breakfast spot. The French style cuisine is very filling and bursting with flavor, and if yousit outside they have a lovely backyard area for eating that creates a nice little French cafe like bubble. Great pancakes,great egg dishes, well worth trying. Read more
I’ve been here a handful and will always come back when I’m craving it. Love love love this place! The omelette with ham and... cheese is always a hitter! You have to try this place at least once… otherwise I’d say you’re missing out a lot! It’sdelicious and even the potatoes are so so good!! Read more
