- No discussion of East Bay breakfast is complete without mention of
- LOIS THE PIE QUEEN!
-
- They have home cooking style breakfasts. I typically have 2 eggs,
- grits, and homemade biscuits for $3.75. There are lots of other
- choices including sausage, ham, links, bacon, pork chops, waffles, hot
- cakes, and fried chicken. Lunch is also served, and dinner is served
- on Sundays (I've never gone for anything but breakfast.)
-
- The best part is the homemade baked goods, which vary, but typically
- include some kind of muffin, and:
- Sweet Potato, Apple, Pecan, Mixed Berry, and Lemon Icebox Pie
- and Peach Cobbler
- Eat at least one of these per visit for maximum enjoyment.
- None of them are typical. I particularly enjoy her take on Sweet
- Potato Pie. The Peach Cobbler is a breakfast by itself.
-
- The food is great and portions are generous. Service is friendly.
- There is a counter as well as tables. Lois' has a pleasant
- neighborhood atmosphere with none of the yuppie cafe feeling shared by
- many of the other places mentioned in this thread. It is usually not
- crowded; weekends are busier.
-
- Lois is located at the corner of 60th Street and Adeline Street in
- North Oakland. This is one block west of Martin Luther King Way, and
- there is a small black and white sign at the corner of MLK and 60th to
- help you out. Nearest freeway exit: CA-24 to MLK.
-
- Lois the Pie Queen, 851 60th Street, Oakland CA 94608. (510) 658-5616.
- Mon-Fri 7am-2pm, Sat 7am-3pm, Sun 7am-6pm. No credit cards or checks.
