I love this place!! The owners are the best!! The fast friendly and efficient service can't be beat. The food portion and quality is such a great value. The ambiance is so homey and cozy, authentic happy daze here with many more to come. Southshore Cafe is a staple in Alameda. Once you come.... you will be a regular!!

Very ol' school dinner and has a variety of food on the menu. Regards to some people, the server actually did ask what me and my friend wanted to drink. We also received our food fast and the portions were so good that my friend wasn't able to finish his food (he eats a lot) overall this place was awesome and the service was good. Also made another friend here and he joined us.

It's a regular ol' diner. The outside looks a bit sketchy, but when you enter, it's a totally quaint little diner. It was packed too! Food was good, We had bacon, eggs, Belgian waffle, and loco moco. All were good! We will return!

Classic diner experience. Warm and cozy service from a staff that works together like a well oiled machine. I love to people watch at diners especially, there's every type of person under the sun hanging out having breakfast. I had really exceptional fluffy pancakes. That's definitely a must try if you like pancakes.

This was my first time at south shore cafe. We ordered the joes scramble, banana walnut pancakes, corn beef hash, and loco moco. Each meal had its own star quality which made my experience a memorable one. The service itself was great with the staff being friendly and displaying a sense of urgency throughout. The restaurant was packed with a few folks waiting to be seated but were standing for no more than 10 minutes. I'll definitely be back and appreciate this restaurant for its hospitality.

Solid diner experience! The service and ambiance is warm and feels like you're eating a family friend's house but w/ unlimited coffee refills and yummy eggs benny (I don't have many friends who casually make eggs benny this good ) For the food- eggs benny was delicious and it been on top of the crispy hash browns too was a combo I never knew I needed. The chicken+avocado omelet was solid but I think I can make something like that at home. The side of corned beef hash was a MUST! Loved it for some extra protein. It's not anything special but it always delivers and itches that brunch/diner craving!

Had a great breakfast with friends! I had the Pineapple sausage with eggs over easy, fried potatoes, and wheat toast. Servers moved my party of three 2x to different tables which was a bit unnecessary, but they were nice still. The cafe has an old school diner feel and it was packed with people. I will def be back!

I've been coming here for years !! It's a good comfort spot for a simple but delish breakfast . I'm really just obsessed with their waffles . Service is always quick . Sometimes on a busy day there will be a wait for lunch rush. Everyone is so friendly

A busy mom and pops restaurant with nice staff. A little bit of a wait to be seated on a Sunday morning. It's an older looking establishment but still very clean. I had real eggs scrambled with quality cheddar cheese. The bacon was thick. Good wheat toast slathered in melted butter. The rice was cooked perfectly. The coffee was ok.... The portion size was good, and the pricing was appropriate. I will definitely be back again!
