Services
Taking full advantage of the freshness, variety of ingredients, and cooking talents that the Bay Area has to offer, we've created breakfast, lunch and brunchA menus of simple, comforting foods with universal appeal. We thank you for your support and patronage over the past 30 years, and we look forward to seeing you all soon!
Backstage at The View From the Bay show, Ann spent time hanging out with Anthony Bourdain from the TV show "No Reservations" and "Parts Unknown." They spoke for hours about their many years in the business. Ann made a scrumptious meal for Spencer Christian and Janelle Wang on San Francisco's The View From the Bay.
That's what Ann's Catering is all about. Platter upon platter of fresh dishes made to order for you. Look at the size of our menu! We are compelled by our love of food to offer as many choices as possible to our customers. Our customers say that it seems as if there's something new to try each time they see the menu.

Tasty breakfast. I came in a group and all of us were happy with our food. This was recommended by our friends who are more familiar with the area, and I'm glad we took their advice. With the recent surge in covid cases, they had limited seating so we opted for take-out and sat on one of the nearby benches.
The orange-rice pancakes with blueberries were light and sweet, without feeling too sugary. I also got the tofu curry scramble, which was a unique breakfast dish but I enjoyed it very much.
I look forward to coming back, and hopefully dining in when it's safer!

The staff at the register were very nice. Current COVID seating felt very cramped. Food was unimpressive at best. The meal was expensive - overall a very disappointing dining and value experience.

My husband and I often have a dilemma on eating out as he's a meat eater and I'm not. We love a good spot that offers a variety of both options! I had the scrambled curried tofu and it was AMAZING. Husband had the steak sandwich which he loved. Perfect Sunday brunch. Cute little nook location next to the Claremont country club.

Fabulous food plates. I ordered the greens, bacon and cheese omelet with rye bread. Rye bread was sooo good, the omelet was delicious, savory, and the bacon was lean and not overcooked. Potatoes were excellent. Only suggestion is to add different hot and mild sauces so customers can spice appropriately to their tastes. Service was always available and they have stringent Covid protocols in place, including proof of vaccination. Cudos for that.

Rick & Ann's.

Our Sunday was off to a late start and as our appetite grew, my bf suggested we come here. Nestled on a quiet block next to a coffee shop and bakery, this quaint mom and pop shop brings a sense of comfort, a timeless experience you want to grow with. We were seated by the window where we stared off to people walking by and the Claremont Hotel at a distance reminiscing the time we once had dinner and gazed at the sunset from afar.

The Down South was a simple dish with all the basics, exactly what I needed. Our recent food tour for hashbrowns have failed us and we were

We came here for the first breakfast after our daughter's graduation from UC Berkeley. We came with our party of seven and arrived at a couple of times. The scone, pancakes, yogurt bowl, hash was all so good and delivered fast. They have some nice little green salsa too.

I understand it's still COVID times, but this restaurants method for ordering + seating is well, kinda stressful. When you're table is ready you then have you place your order at the host stand and pay immediately before sitting and settling at your table. No time to take a moment, relax, sip some water, maybe even order coffee first. No, order and pay NOW. We were a party of 3, and they sat us at a 2 top as well (without asking if that was ok) and thankfully we were all close friends, but damn, that table was SMALL for the three of us. Food came crazy fast, which I guess is good? but

Great area with a very pleasant, but downgraded setup that has benches to sit and wood tables like a park. The service is excellent and the servings are big, can barely fit on the plate. The food was good, not great, but I liked it. The old homeless guy outside playing the guitar, actually played a lot of good songs that I enjoyed as well and have him a tip for that

During the pandemic I have relied on take out from this restaurant. It's been safe and great. I recently brought a vegan friend for brunch, and staff responded immediately with vegan and menu offerings that would fit the bill. Great tofu scramble. Today for the first time I ordered the Veggie Portobello sandwich for takeout. Fantastic. Rick and Ann's is a great place. They support their staff and in every way their care shows. Highly recommend for brunch, takeout, bake goods, and take home evening meals.

The food is amazing and the quaint family feel setting is alway warm and friendly! Check out the patio seating on nice days! I'll definitely be back for more of the French Toast (it's the best)!!!

Really like this place. Some meals are better than others, though. Any of their baked goods are amazing, though their waffles are more Eggo than Belgian. But I had their Autumn hash yesterday and it blew my mind, so your mileage may vary. It's pricy and the wait can be long, so figuring out your go-to is worth it if you're going to go repeatedly.

I don't understand why there is no longer any table service here except to deliver your food. The restaurant requires showing a vaccine card and masks but there are no waiters....I'm confused why we are standing in line ordering at the take-out counter now. The ambiance is non-existent. I can't imagine waiting in line here for brunch on a weekend.
The food options are very limited and the quality just mediocre. I miss the chili and the quesadilla. A disappointment in September 2021. I haven't been here since 2019 so clearly the pandemic has affected Rick and Ann&apos

This was our first time here and we will jot be going back. When we arrived there was a slight wait and they took down our names. After about 15 min they called us in and then told us we had to order and pay before being seated. Would have been nice to know that and look over the menu while we had been waiting.
I picked this restaurant for the great reviews on the French toast. I ordered French toast and my partner ordered a Mexican dish. We were seated and brought our drinks. I ordered tea (menu said assorted) but was brought English breakfast (yuck). Had to ask the server if there were any other

You get one star from me simply for the discrimination. I wish I could give less, honestly.

Berkeley is a melting pot of diversity and to be treated like we were today is outright wrong. We were the only people asked for proof of vaccination and she rudely added that they would be checking IDs/to match the cards as well. Like, ma'am... really?!

Mind you, this was not said to the white couple in front of us or behind us.

We are absolutely vaccinated but after that experience, who'd want to prove they have the right to spend THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY with you. You literally looked at

I meet my kids in Berkeley during the school year every other Friday for breakfast, and this is one of our go-to favorites. We haven't eaten here since quarantine, so it was a treat to be back. The food was as good as ever, large portions, and the food really hits the spot. We recommend cooking the hash a little longer, just to get a crisp on the potatoes, but the eggs over easy were done perfectly. My Greek omelette was oh so tasty and so was the Caesar salad. Coffee drinks were really good too!

I think the system of having everyone order and pay at the front was a really good one (would

This is such a cute spot! Stumbled upon this restaurant while staying at hotel across the street. When entering, the hostess takes your order and you pay first. The menu has so many tasty choices. Food comes out quickly and perfectly. As a matter of fact, we are here all three days we stayed at the hotel. If ever in the area again, we will definitely return.

My favorite East Bay cafes for working during lockdown - #4, Rick and Ann’s
One of my favorite places to work during lockdown is the seating area outside Rick and Ann’s. I usually pretend that I’ve just had an expensive game of tennis at the Claremont Hotel and am doing some Important Work before I hop into my hybrid SUV (sometimes it’s an… imaginary Tesla). Other times, I put on a blond wig, baseball cap and shades and pretend that I’m Taylor Swift on a low profile retreat at the Claremont. I might sing or hum a little bit of Invisible String as a finishing

Lunch of meatloaf sandwich with french fries was delightful. DELIGHTFUL. I was surprised by how much I was raving about my meatloaf sandwich and the side of fries.

We used to come here for weekend brunch before the pandemic, but now I've found Rick & Anne's for the meat loaf (3 slices to reheat for dinner, or a meat loaf sandwich for lunch).

There's walk-in and take-away.

I was looking for a highly rated breakfast place around the Lawrence Hall of Science and this fit the bill. I had trouble finding the entrance since I thought the corner would be the entrance. I went to the side and realized I was wrong again. I found the right entrance and since I was by myself, I was seated at a community table with other singles. The waitress was quick and professional. My food came out quickly. It was very delicious. I can see why it's popular. The fries are actually potato cubes.

Rick & Ann’s is a beloved neighborhood staple. Reliably delicious comfort food served in a cozy environment by friendly staff. They also support local artists by displaying their art on the restaurant’s walls. Give them a try—you won’t regret it!
