Comforts

Amazingly consistent. Quality food. Minimally processed. Feel good food

I had a terrible and ongoing experience Saturday for lunch.

1. Food was ...ok...but we had terrible service, asked for drinks and the final bill 4 times each. For only 30 minutes of eating, we were there for almost two hours.

2. Because we are in such a rush leaving, I forgot my credit card in the billfold. I figured that out Sunday with $2,000 of unknown charges to that card. I canceled immediately and had the charges reversed. The card went on a spree from a bar in Sonoma,Tommy Hilfiger and Nike. Hundreds of dollars each and done the same day I left my card. But they couldn't just get there on their own, several gas station charges were made as well. While I was on the phone with a credit card on Sunday new charges were popping up real time.

3. I live 5 minutes away and all the girls on my daughter's Marin FC team love this place. I'll be making sure my experience gets out to my community. So violating.

I'd give zero stars if I could.

I used to love this place, but it's really gone downhill. They once had lovely deli salads that you could order, 3 for a plate for around $12-$13. No more. I didn't want one of their generous hand made sandwiches, so I opted for a Caesar Salad with turkey from the refrigerated case. Big mistake. It had fresh, bitter romaine, dry parmesan that seemed to have come from a bag of supermarket shredded cheese, and some dry, white meat turkey. The dressing was a flavorless glop, heavy on the mayo, that was hard to spread over the lettuce. My husband's sandwich was delicious, but his mixed berry streudel dessert bar was soggy and not very flavorful. With 2 small bottles of Crystal Geyser the bill was around $34. I wish we'd just gone somewhere else.

Great place for breakfast plus very tasty and fresh cookies.

We came on a day where the cafe was closed so we only had takeaway and it was nice!

I just waited for 15 minutes behind someone who is being checked out only to have the girl working by the door come over and help the person that was behind me check out first... All I wanted to do was pay for my chicken salads and I was waiting there very patiently only to get passed up, your salad is absolutely wonderful but if I'm going to be paying for it I would like to be treated properly.

Thank you very much for the timely response Erin, I live in Berkeley but will hopefully have time to stop by on Thursday. Obviously you take customer service very seriously, I appreciate that. Your food is wonderful and I would agree it was not personal.

I just stopped by, I was in a little bit of a rush and it was not very busy so I just bought what I needed. I did not want to rush a conversation, I will make time to come back and speak with you soon. Today was wonderful, not one thing bad to say about you, your staff, or facility. Thank you 3/10 12:40ish

Love the Chinese Tofu Salad! However there are very few plant-based options on the menu. I also impulse-purchased some of their sweet potato hummus and it was revolting. Oh my god, it was coyingly sweet but with notes of cumin. Gag!

It’s a great local place to go fora casual breakfast or lunch

Best Chinese Chicken salad. I believe this was the original. None the less, the food at Comforts is always fresh and great tasting. My favorite, which I eat just about 3-5 times a week, is the Chinese Chicken salad. Yeah, anyone can get lettuce, green onions, chopped peanuts, sesame seeds, and blood orange slice, but it's all in the magical taste of Comfort's Chinese Chicken salad dressing. While you're there, grab a bottle for when the dressing you're being served can't win a taste contest even while being the only dressing in the contest. Comfort's is definitely a Gold Medal Winner!!!

I go out of my way to come here for their chicken salad. It's so refreshing and full of flavor. And they have an amazing selection of delicious fresh pastries of all sorts. My favorite is the Mexican wedding cookies.
