Breakfast places open before 8 AM are pretty rare in downtown Berkeley,
but there are a few:

Cafe Clem
2020 Kittredge St between Shattuck Ave. and Milvia St.
http://www.cafeclem-downtown.com
Opens 7 AM.

Five Restaurant
Hotel Shattuck
2086 Allston Way near Shattuck Ave.
http://www.five-berkeley.com
Opens 6:30 AM.

Au Coquelet Cafe Restaurant
2000 University Ave, between Milvia St & Shattuck Ave.
(510) 845-0433
Opens 6 AM.

Makris Cafe

If you're willing to walk further, you'll find some other 
choices in the Telegraph Ave / UC Campus area:
Caffe Mediterraneum
Cafe Durant

The West Berkeley area:
Café Leila
Quince Cafe & Grill

The North Berkeley / Gourmet Ghetto area:
Bel Forno
Saul's Deli
Fat Apple's Restaurant & Bakery
Guerilla Cafe

All of the above are decent breakfast places open well before 8 AM.
Bon appetit!
