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.

We ordered BABE and breakfast biscuit (egg, gravy on top of biscuit). Both were delicious. They made their own strawberry jam, which was super fresh and not too sweet. I mixed it with iced tea and...
