Alfonso's Cafe

A tiny café with so much charm! A very family oriented staff who's always cooking awesome homestyle food. Came here for a crepe (perfectly cooked!) and an Italian soda in a cozy little breakfast house, stayed to chat with the owner and his son for a while before continuing my day. A really nice treat, and much more than I expected from an unassuming little café hidden on San Pablo. Definitely coming back to support them, and you should too!

I've tried their crepes and their sandwiches, and while both were adequate, neither was particularly great, and there's a lot of great food nearby. I don't recall the crepe in detail, but the avocado sandwich was basic, on white toast, and felt more like a snack than a meal. To be fair, the price was modest too.I'm living less than a block away, but I rarely go here, because I've always come away underwhelmed. I'd go again if invited by a friend who likes it, but otherwise, probably not.

I found Alphonso's after leaving my car at the repair shop a few doors from there. I had a wonderful meal and Alphonso's is a gracious host who made feel very welcome. I will definitely go back again.
