Some friends and I went over to the Cock-A-Doodle Cafe in Old Oakland for brunch last weekend. This cafe is kind of a hole in the wall place off of 8th and Broadway. There are rainbow flags all over the inside (sorry forgot to take a pic) and it’s a very gay-friendly place to eat (unlike some other places in downtown Oakland). The restaurant is small and narrow and the kitchen is semi-open to the dining area.
The place was packed. Luckily we got the last table and didn’t have to wait… I ordered the Bacon Scramble which was one of the specials for the day. It came with home fries and a side of toast (sourdough).
The dish kind of threw me off guard but in an ok way… I was expecting more of just eggs scrambled around with bacon… this was more like a veggie omelet with bacon in it too… there were olives, peppers, green onion, tomatoes and avocado on top. It was good but not what I expected. Cost about $11.
My friend got the strawberry ricotta stuffed french toast (with 2 slices of bacon). I took a bite and it was REALLY GOOD. I’m not a huge french toast person but I would definitely go back to this place to get this dish.
