(This is an update from a 2003 review<\/a>)<\/p>\n

San Leandro still doesn’t have any good, affordable places to go for breakfast\/brunch, so on the rare occasions when we treat ourselves to morning food we usually go to JD’s in Castro Valley.\u00a0 Their food is good, though not great, but I know what I’m getting.<\/p>\n

What I got during my last visit – what I always get – is the ricotta French Toast, covered with fresh strawberries and cream. This is an impressive dish and quite good, though I can’t help to feel it’s missing something. Sweetness perhaps? Macerated strawberries would be nicer, I think.\u00a0 The crispy bacon it came with was very good.\u00a0 This dish is “market price”, and I don’t know how much it was, probably in the neighborhood of $10.<\/p>\n

Mike had the Cajun omelet with andouille sausage ($8.50).\u00a0 He liked it, but wished the sausage had been chopped and mixed into the omelet.\u00a0 The accompanying potatoes were pretty good.<\/p>\n

In all, a solid though not spectacular meal. We’ll return, but wish there were better options nearby.<\/p>\n
