My recommendation: The eggplant sandwich with roasted eggplant, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, jack cheese, lettuce, & tomato (served hot)

Description: This place is more than just a cafe, they have soups, salads and sandwiches. They have unique, specialty sandwiches which are delicious and affordable ($8), they have friendly staff and several outdoor seats on their patio. I had the eggplant sandwich with roasted red pepper, artichoke and cheese, served grilled. My friends had the Turkey Club & the Chicken Brie & Pesto on Ciabatta. They serve coffee and ice cream as well. They provide a dog bowl outside and sometimes have dog treats inside at the coffee bar. There is abundant free parking on the street, and an additional parking lot in the back. This is a low-key and less busy area than the rest of Orinda. Parking is easy and it's usually not crowded.
