Ronaker's Coffee Shop in San Leandro operates as a welcoming neighborhood café that blends a classic diner vibe with straightforward, hearty breakfast and lunch options. Located along Doolittle Drive, this spot draws in locals looking for solid morning or midday meals without fuss. The dining room has the kind of casual, no-frills atmosphere that encourages lingering over coffee or catching up with friends on a weekend morning.

The menu leans heavily into generous breakfast plates and diner staples like the Chorizo Scramble, Denver Omelette, Chicken Fried Steak, and French Toast Breakfast Plate. Portions tend to be large and satisfying, catering well to those who want a filling meal to start their day or recharge mid-afternoon. Locals appreciate the food for its straightforward quality and rely on Ronaker's as a regular stop for fresh ingredients and familiar flavors rather than trendy or experimental offerings.

Service here complements the unpretentious atmosphere. Staff are notably personable and attentive, creating a welcoming environment where people of all ages feel at home. The sense of community extends to how the staff engage with customers, from helping patrons who may need a bit of extra assistance to fostering an easygoing flow even when the place isn't busy.

Visitors can expect a typically calm, diner-style rhythm — less about rushed meals and more about a steady spot for comfort food at a reasonable price. Weekends and slower mornings appear to be prime times, perfect for gathering with family or settling in with a plate of pancakes and a cup of coffee. It's the kind of place where repeat customers accumulate over years, drawn by consistent food quality and a relaxed, familiar setting.

Ronaker’s suits those who value a dependable, down-to-earth café experience more than contemporary coffee trends or flashy presentation. Whether you’re in need of a strong, no-nonsense breakfast or a midday break with some classic American diner fare, this coffee shop fits naturally into the rhythm of San Leandro’s everyday dining scene.

This is our go-to for breakfast. Good ingredients that are fresh (who sources their eggs??? They’re always so good!), good cooking, and that classic diner experience. We look forward to slow weekends and days off when we can go in and grab breakfast. It’s the kind of place you go to for five or six years before realizing you’ve been going for years.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff! Food is decent with large portions! I noticed that it’s mostly run by women and they all seemed extremely active and ready to help! There was a really old man sitting next to my table, who had difficulty slicing his beard, one of the staff stood next to him and helped make small slices of everything on his plate and made sure he was comfortable and kept checking on his plate and coffee glass regularly!

Local coffee shop, decent price, excellent staff. Have had only the breakfast but it is the best in quality & price for around that area. I trek all the way from Oakland-Laurel to have breakfast here on Saturdays!
