      I don't understand where my review went. We have been going to this café for a number of years. So I'll start all over. I love their coffee, its Peet's and that's what I have at home. My husband and I both had chili Verde omelettes and we ate all of the omelette.
      I had fruit and we split it and he had hashbrowns and we split that. The hashbrowns were just OK. He got an English muffin and I got a blueberry muffin and we took them home. The staff is extremely friendly, no matter who you have.

      As you can see, I've been eating my omelette

      Good morning as ok. The ladies restroom was gross. The toilet paper dispenser was empty. However, a large roll was on the floor to use. The floor was dirty and sticky. Yuck Cody's, pay attention to hygiene in the restrooms

      Cody's was good this morning. I enjoyed my Javier's French toast. The service was great. The ambiance was clean.

      Not sure what dinning in is like. I ordered take out I asked for the Ortega scramble, which should have or take a green chilies tri-tip jack cheese instead I just got eggs with green onion and potatoes no cheese no tri-tip no Ortega green chilies-pretty bad. Unfortunately I am working and can't take it back. I called and all the could say is sorry didn't offer a discount or take my number to have the manager call nothing of the sort I'm definitely d

      This place is very busy weekends especially. But I had the eggs Benedict not super great the sauce was way too thick and not very tasteful. Stacy was my sever and despite her having a very large party took great care of me! I sat at the bar which really needs to be cleaned up a bit.

      Absolutely terrible !!! Service and food ! We have been going there since they open in 1995 it was sold and Sean was no longer there it started going downhill so we stopped going there,decided to try it for Mother's Day ,had a Chili Relleno plate that was there Mother's Day special .The waitress said it was great when it came it had hamburger meat and frozen corn and carrots in it with an orange sauce no cheese the hamburger meat taste bad ordered a bacon and avocado omelette the omelette came with cold cheese another plate had two hairs on it the waitress never came back to our table or any other staff no refilled for our waters or coffee didn't bring the tortillas and when we complain about the hairs on the plate she said well we could only take half the price off one plate ? We went there early before they were busy for $18 plate and poor quality and service. I won't be going back there again unfortunately it used to be a great spot

      Classic comfort food in a comfortable, homey atmosphere. Alright for families and large groups.

      You can find this cafe at the Turnpike Shopping Center along Hollister Avenue. Parking is easy and breezy. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating throughout, I never had to wait long for a table. Their patio is pet-friendly.

      They serve all your favorite breakfast and lunch dishes: french toast, omelettes, waffles, pancakes, benedicts, scrambles, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and so much more. Prices are reasonable for the portions served.

      Some of the things I've ordered before:

      Short Stack: Two very large pancakes. It seems like someone left them on the griddle for a little too long, the top was a bit charred and it had a burnt taste to it. Wasn't too fluffy. The accompanying scrambled eggs and patty sausage were just ok.

      Fish and Chips: Impressively fried and flakey fish, with a nice golden color. Fries were also crispy. Served with a side of coleslaw.

      Homemade Pot Roast: Tender meat cooked in red wine. Decent.

      They used to be open during the evenings in the past, but dining after 5:00 PM is now limited to private parties and events. A bit of a bummer since their dinner menu is great. But brunch is good enough!
