Akys Cafe

Nice open atmosphere, well spaced out tables, interesting decor, and a semi-circular counter give this cafe a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. The locals are pretty laid back First time I came here, I had the tuna on foccacia bread, and man, was that tasty! The owner seems to be quite a chef! Today I ordered the #8 roast beef sandwich, and my mouth is watering, just waiting to taste it! I know this review sounds unrealistically complimentary, but I honestly love coming here. And I usually only leave bad reviews, so for balance, it's high time I started giving praise where it's due! Great place, great food!

I walked in and the proprietor immediately took my order, called me honey and directed her staff to ring me up. I ordered the special soup rice and vegetables and was blown away by the flavor. Don't expect to be sampling a can of Campbell's Soup, this veggie soup is fire!!! Full of basil, parsley, cilantro. What a gem of a place. Exactly what I hoped for when I spotted it from the road. Give it a try.

Wow. My husband & I were blown away by how warm & inviting this place is. It definitely feels like having breakfast in your own home. Our breakfast croissants were fabulous, the coffee was great, and the orange juice fresh squeezed. Thank you so much for a really awesome experience this morning. We'll absolutely be back.

Fresh food, pleasant surroundings We stopped in for lunch en route to a business meeting nearby and enjoyed our food and the atmosphere. I had the special BBQ ham sandwich, which had a mild, pleasant BBQ flavor and was served on nice, fresh bread. The woman at the counter was exuberantly friendly and welcoming. Our server was helpful and courteous. I would seek out another meal at Aky's if in the Richmond area again, though I might skip the fresh lemonade, which was a bit too sweet for my taste.

My new favorite place to eat!! Its 5 minutes from home, the food is organic, the owner is always pleasant. Great atmosphere. The Mediterranean veggie & falafel are excellent. I feel at home here. Thanks to a friend that frequents Aky's I would have continued to pass this wonderful small piece of perfection up.

Great Mediterranean food, every dish I have tried has been delicious never dissatisfied. They are wonderful people in a nice artsy atmosphere, always a great choice for breakfast and lunch. They pride themselves on the food they serve using almost all organic ingredients. Even the treats are all homemade and yummy. And the dinner they serve each month is amazing and features live music, sure to please.

Owner/lady was super friendly, kind and energetic! Total delight, not to mention fast. Before I even had a chance to look around at all the other cool stuff she had in her cafe/shop, she was done putting together two orders of corner beef and cabbage, etc. that was bangin! Totally a hidden local gem, well worth the time to go check out...

This is a family owned place if I had to guess. It's a quaint and comfortable spot and it feels like you just walked into your aunt's kitchen. They're loving and sweet and they make you feel so at home. Breakfast was excellent. We had the bacon and egg croissant. It was served with some of the most robust and flavorful breakfast potatoes I've ever eaten. It was a quickly prepared meal, so if you're in a hurry don't hesitate to stop in. The menu for lunch and dinner looks incredible and I can't wait to get back and try it!

Absolutely delicious, home-cooked food, delightful owners, and a cozy atmosphere. My brother, who works in the area, was so excited to show us his favorite restaurant to go to for lunch while we were visiting and have us meet Aky. The veggie sandwich was SO GOOD - it's easy to tell that Aky loves what she makes. Next time we're back in California, we'll definitely be back!
