Our Story

More Than a Diner,
It's a Habit

3rd Street Diner started with one simple belief: that a good meal doesn't need a fancy setting. Just real ingredients, a hot griddle, and someone who actually cares whether your eggs come out right.

We've been serving our corner of Oakland ever since — the early-shift workers, the families on weekend mornings, the folks who stop by because they heard the coffee is good. It's never been about trends. It's about showing up, turning on the lights, and making sure everyone who walks through our door leaves full and smiling.

What People Say

Regulars Love Us Back

I've been coming here every Saturday morning for years. The coffee's always hot, the eggs are perfect, and the people behind the counter actually know your name.

Sarah M. Oakland, MD

Best breakfast in the area, hands down. The country sunrise plate is massive and the hash browns are the crispiest I've ever had. This is what a real diner should be.

James T. Local Regular

Brought my family here on a road trip and it was the highlight of our day. Felt like walking into someone's kitchen — warm, generous, and genuinely welcoming.
