Grand Lake Kitchen - Lake Merritt

“teh breakfast burrito was stuffed adn heavy in the best way. scrambled eggs, chorizo, beans, cheese, avocado, all wrapped tight. ate it walking along Lake Merritt. def perfect morning fuel for under $14 big time”

“Portions are big but the burrito was wrapped loosely and fell apart halfway through. Tuck those ends tighter. No one wants scrambled eggs on their shoes while walking around the lake.”

“The pancakes were thick, fluffy, and served with real maple syrup and seasonal berries. The latte art was beautiful and the coffee was strong. Grand Lake Kitchen does brunch the way brunch should be done, no gimmicks, jsut quality.”

“The wait on Sundays is 45 minutes minimum even with two people. No reservation system for brunch, just a clipboard by the door. In 2024, a waitlist app seems like a no-brainer for a place this popular.”

“Good honest breakfast food. The bacon and eggs with toast and home fries was exactly what I wanted. Crispy bacon, eggs over-medium, well-seasoned potatoes. No trendy toppings, no avocado tax, just breakfast idk”

“The menu has some items I didn't understand. What's a 'grain bowl with labneh and za'atar'? I had to Google za'atar at the table. More familiar descriptions would help regular guys like me navigate the menu nuff said”
