Anna's Coffee Shop

A great throw back to 70's dining with a Denny's like experience. Friendly local diner, lots of Spanish speakers and families raving about the food. Big plates, amazing job spicing and crisping those country fried potatoes and I got a close up. They don't open till 7:00 so I will never make that breakfast special price that they do not offer on Saturdays. Slightly understaffed and waitress tries really hard with good attitude. Would come again, prices are decent. 444 Jackson shows the cute little peaked rooftop.

I really enjoy trying all the old school diners and restaurants in southern Alameda County! Anna's is super cute from the outside, in a small building with a long Scandanavian-style eave and a decent-sized parking lot. Inside is a mix of older brown booths and tables. Service is prompt and friendly. I opted for Alan's omelette, minus the mushrooms, and thought the eggs very well cooked. More filling would be nice, but the sprinkle of melted cheese on top was great. Also loved their homemade salsa on the omelette. The home fries are lovely - cooked to a creamy, soft inside with a bit of crumbly crust on the outside. I look forward to trying the chilaquiles and machaca in the future! There are also lunch options, both American and Mexican.

Before leaving San Fran, we had to grab a little grub for the long drive ahead of us so we decided to stop by Anna's Family Coffee Shop. Now normally I don't eat breakfast but I knew if I didn't take this change to grab a bite to eat, I wouldn't stop until I got back home. Yea I know, I'm crazy like that lol. The staff was friendly and offered compious amounts of coffee refills. Little to no wait to get seated and order our delicious food. This is one those spots that you wouldn't know about it unless someone took you there and I'm glad I can pass on the tradition to the next person. Food was delicious and can't wait to go back when I'm back in the bay area.
