One of my favorite breakfast spots downtown. Low prices, but good food. Service is always very friendly and they have a wide selection of items. Definitely a hidden gem!

I have only tried the parfaits & tuna sandwiches. I read the reviews but I'm a stickler that watches how ppl make my food lol. If I see there's not an enough tuna on my sandwich while she's making it I simply ask for more. They're nice about it & I tip. Don't wait until the last minute to say what you need. It can get busy in the mornings & with all the orders she moves quick as to not keep anyone waiting for too long. The area seats about 8 ppl at time and isnt that big but also have outside seating for . I love being able to get in/out. It takes about 5-15min depending on how busy it is but I highly recommend if you love tuna melts as much as I do.

I got the chicken supreme and it was absolutely scrumptious. people were very nice. nice vibe, would recommend.

This review comes a few months late, but I had bought a Too Good to Go surprise bag for Eden Plaza Cafe. It came with a pastry (a Danish), soup (I believe it was minestrone or something similar, it tasted vegetarian) and a sandwich. All of the food was decent quality, though not mindblowing, and tasted fresh. I felt it was a good value for the price. (I haven't seen them on Too Good to Go lately, so they might've discontinued particpating in the app, but the cafe is definitely still open.) I appreciate that they offer a variety of foods including baked goods, sandwiches, burritos, and drinks at reasonable prices. The cafe is pretty small but they have a little bit of outdoor seating right outside.

When I do come by Edens, its when I need a quick bite or I don't feel like walking too far from work. Its a decent cafe that serves various kinds of bites: Bagels, sandwiches, burritos, tacos, pastas, salads, and im sure im missing a few other things but hopefully you get the gist. Oh, and how can I forget they also serve coffee and espresso drinks. For the amount of times Ive gone to Edens, Ive gotten mixed experiences; some days are better than others but overall pretty consistent. For example: Some days my bagel is more burnt than usual or theres barely any cream cheese or the meat in my sandwich is less than usual But im not going to let those occasional days bring down the star rating. Its a decent cafe and itll get you what you need for food.

I came here for two surprise bag pick up orders a couple of days ago. It was a fast pick up and the food was nearby to the cashier. In my orders came two ham sandwiches, two tuna sandwiches, a slice of marble cake and a slice of coconut cake. Am I the biggest fan of coconut? Not at all, but it was actually tolerable. The marble cake was alright as well. Want some honesty? Neither of these types of cake are my fave, nor do I particularly like cake. I don't hate cake, but if I could only have it once a year for whatever absurd reason, I'd be quite alright. That said, these baked goods would probably be delightful to someone who likes cake. Also, this place is like a small coffee shop setting that serves light breakfast items (you're not getting pancakes here) and lunch, closing at 2 PM daily. The tuna sandwich was good. Fair. I think it must be quite hard to mess up a tuna sandwich considering the easily ingredients, so it's what you'd expect. I especially liked that they served it on a brioche roll, my favorite. Now let's talk about location. I imagine people that live and work around here are the average customers. If you're interested in trying it out, it's about two blocks down from Lake Merritt Bart and across the street from OMCA. Parking is a hit or miss.
