Cozy neighborhood brunch spot with standout Benedicts and friendly service; portions and prices are fair, but space is tight and weekend waits happen.
Lynn & Lu's Escapade Cafe delivers solid neighborhood brunch excellence through strong food quality anchored by exceptional Benedicts and generous portions, paired with reliable friendly service. The appealing back patio location near Lake Merritt enhances neighborhood appeal, though tight seating and occasional consistency dips in waffles prevent grade A territory. A beloved local favorite that exceeds typical cafe standards.
One caveat: Cramped interior makes seating tight; difficult for wheelchairs and big groups
