There's nothing like a hearty breakfast in a charming eatery to get your day goin', especially if it's at Bette's! This landmark cafe serves all of your favorite breakfast classics all long. Don't be fooled, though. This ain't your average breakfast spot. In fact, Bette's has become a favorite for putting its own unique spin on classic dishes. The soufflé pancakes are just one example of the delicious greatness that awaits!

Family-owned and run since 1982, Bette's Oceanview Diner is a staple in Berkeley. It may look like a pretty typical diner at first, but don't be fooled - this place does it a bit differently.

The California-style diner serves up all of your breakfast favorites in a friendly, nostalgic setting. From the bright red booths to the 1957 Seaburg jukebox with a weekly rotating selection of records, this old-fashioned restaurant is as charming as can be.

The overall experience of dining at Bette's is hard to beat. A big reason for that is because of the food! Bette's is particularly focused on using fresh, local ingredients in a wide array of homemade fare. They specialize in breakfast but their selection of diner sandwiches and hot lunches are just as incredible!

Breakfast is served all day long at Bette's - a wonderful thing since some of the eatery's most iconic items are breakfast dishes. Take the soufflé pancakes, for instance. These fluffy, baked pancakes are gigantic and come in flavors like banana rum, apple brandy, seasonal fruit, and chocolate swirl. And yes, it's as tasty as it looks.

If you love the pancakes, you may want to learn how to make them yourself. You can do just that with The Pancake Handbook, a cookbook that includes the recipes for every pancake, soufflé, blintz, or crepe that Bette's serves. The cookbook can be purchased in the restaurant, along with all sorts of Bette's swag, like t-shirts, mugs, and postcards.

The pancakes are the star of the show but there's something for everyone at Bette's. The omelettes are another crowd-pleaser. Cooked in the French style (soft on the inside), they are served with home fries, sour cream, and your choice of toast, scone, or muffin.

Bette's baked items are another standout. All baked items are made on the premises by the diner's own bakers, from the lemon currant scones to the blueberry muffins. Don't forget to ask about the pie of the day!

Bette's Oceanview Diner is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Visit the diner's website to see the full menu and start dreaming of your next to Bette's!
