Awesome pumpkin pie. gluten free - Edit
This pie was so darn good that there was no conversation while everyone enjoyed it. I know it gets old but even my non vegan friends were oohing and aahing! It was well worth purchasing this from a cafe that makes them on site with a great deal if pride!!!!!!

It's all vegan!!! - Edit
I don't think I'll ever tire of the experience of walking into a place with a case of amazing desserts and knowing I can order ANYTHING!!! They had a ton of great looking stuff so it was very hard to choose, but I ended up going with a "chocodile", which was like two pieces of chocolate cake with frosting in the middle, mmmm. We also tried two of the chocolates, salted caramel and peanut butter, and both were excellent. My husband also got a coffee/float drink, and even though I don't usually like coffee I enjoyed that too (the huge scoop of ice cream helped I think :-). The atmosphere is very relaxed and laid back, it's a ace you could easily spend an afternoon; although if I did I would probably end up eating about 5,000 calories worth of baked goods! They don't advertise as vegan anywhere that I could see, but when I asked when I got there the guy confirmed- yep, all vegan. Heaven!!

Dissapointing Breakfast - Edit
Keep in mind I don't drink coffee- my review is based solely on the breakfast selection, or lack there of rather. I was so looking forward to the "chicken" & waffles someone commented on, and when I arrived I realized they only have ONE breakfast option and ONE lunch option each day. Today it was oatmeal with Quinoa. Uhh, what? Again, I'm not a coffee drinker which is the main focus of this place, just don't expect much in the way of meals from this place.

Amazingly delicious - Edit
Wow. Totally love that small cute little place. Today's lunch special was the spinach wrap quesadilla. Had yummy mushrooms, red peppers onions and daiya cheese. For dessert we had the strawberry cheesecake and my hubby ate the carrot cake cookie.

One of my favorites - Edit
I absolutely adore this place. I once went there 3 times in a week and it takes me about 45 minutes to get there from my home. I would be there all the time if I lived closer. Their food is that good. One thing that I do recommend is that you follow them on Instagram (@timelesscoffee). They post what they are serving for the day which I find very helpful since I don't live around the corner.
Read moreOn another note, I have not had a meal here that was not amazing. I almost always try to show up when they're serving Chicken n Waffles for Sunday brunch. They make the best waffles I have ever had. I've also had their chicken pot pies, french toast, pizza, cake, peanut butter cups, and salted caramel cups. These are all things that I would definitely eat again...and again. They have friendly staff and the neighborhood they're located in, Piedmont Avenue, is really cute. I definitely encourage you to visit this place.
Pros: Chicken n Waffles, Desserts, Friendly staff
Cons: Can get crowded

id love to go back again - Edit
Everything was so good. I had ordered the blueberry coffee cake, tea cake, chocolate chip cookie, brownie, and the Mac n cheese. The only thing that wasn't so good was the brownie. It was a bit bitter, but the chocolate chip cookie made up for it. My favorite was the tea cake however.

Best Soy Latte Anywhere - Edit
This is my favorite coffee shop, period. Amazing treats! The coffee beverages are made traditionally, and not doused in sugar. Coffee beans are freshly roasted on site as are the baked goods and chocolates made on site.
Read morePros: Staff is friendly, Coffee/food is the best, No extra charge for using a CC to pay
Cons: Small venue, small tables, Limited power oulets (wifi?), Music is not ambient, a bit much at times

Best chicken and waffles in the Bay - Edit
As many have already pointed out, this is the best cafe in the Bay area. Violet and her team of bakers make desserts that absolutely crush -- twinkies, chocodiles, thin mints, gluten free pumpkin cheesecake, peanut butter cups, and the best bearclaws I have ever had. On Sundays, they do brunch. Go the first Sunday of each month for the best chicken and waffles in the Bay. There is also bruch on weekdays. The barbecue chicken pizza and the pot pies are both great. I am not much of a coffee drinker, but I hear from the coffee snobs that it's awesome and roasted in house in the giant roaster in the back of the spot. NOTE: this place is all vegan on the down low. There is no dairy or eggs in any thing, but I don't think the word vegan appears any where.
Read morePros: chicken and waffles!, sweets, sweets, and more sweets., super friendly staff

Best Cafe in the Bay! - Edit
I am a huge fan of Timeless for many reasons . . . walking distance from my house, all vegan menu, almond milk mocha is yummy, and my favorite desserts so far - the chocodile, peanut butter chocolate brownie, salted caramel cupcake and the strawberries and cream cake. So many choices, it's hard to choose just one! Love the staff and they even welcome dogs! And for all those folks complaining about wifi, I say use your cell phone or head to the library. This place is for face to face interactions with some wonderful folks!

amazing vegan coffee shop - Edit
OMG, I love Timeless! We stopped in with two friends who are locals. The owner RJ and the staff remember all the locals and their favorite drinks. Such a great neighborhood place. The coffee and bakery are fabulous too. We both got iced lattes which were served in cute Mason jars. I got the cheesecake and Dirk got the chocodile. Amazing and so tasty! There are tables inside and outside which makes for great people watching. I'm sorry that I didn't get to try their Sunday brunch. Next time! I wish LA had a place like this.

Go to Timeless! - Edit
The folks that run Timeless are devoted to great coffee, great food, and to providing a great atmosphere for folks to connect and enjoy it all. And it's working.
Read moreGo for lunch during the week and brunch on the weekend. Have a scone and a latte in the morning and an iced coffee in the afternoon.
I can't say enough good things about Timeless. Just go and experience it for yourself.
Pros: Excellent vibe, Friendly staff, Proper coffee

Oh Timeless, I love you! - Edit
This place is great! The coffee is high quality. The desserts and pastries are high quality. You can tell that the owners put a lot of love into this place. They do a brunch on Sundays. (Come early if you go, it gets crowded and the lines are really long.)It's also a wi-fi free zone which is a nice break from other coffee shops. Think of it as Timeless Cafe in that the time will pass as you get wrapped up in conversations with your friends. Everything here is a bit pricey, but it's worth it.

See, I feel incredibly SAD that this place has no wifi. All I want in this world is a place where these is wifi, coffee, and vegan food, but it would seem that the Bay Area does not want me to be happy. Every place with vegan food has no wifi, even a COFFEE SHOP. I always end up going to a non-vegan coffee shop, getting coffee with soy milk, using their wifi, then when I get hungry I have to either leave or get a plain bagel because they're out of hummus. If Timeless had wifi, I'd be pretty much throwing money at them.
