"Formerly Bette’s, this beloved all-day breakfast diner on Fourth Street reopened in 2022 under employee ownership and kept the 40-year-old menu intact, to the delight of East Bay kiddos devoted to the short stack, waffles, tuna melts, and lox and bagels plates. The nostalgic 1950s decor evokes the jukeboxes, fluffy biscuits, and cream sodas of yesteryear. The wait can be hefty, especially on weekends, so families in a hurry can swing by the “To Go” outlet next door, to pick up sandwiches, pizza, soups, or burritos — and the requisite sweets — to bring home." - Justine Jones, Laura Smith Borrman
