“It’s your friendly neighborhood breakfast diner…we picked this place because it’s close to the freeway and we had flown into SFO with a bit of a drive home to Monterey. We were desperate for breakfast so we rolled the dice and picked a spot based on location. The breakfast gods were smiling upon us this morning. I had the OBAMA omelette (olives, bacon, artichokes, mushrooms, American cheese). My husband had a sausage and cheese omelette. My toddler had the kids French toast. We all joined the clean plate club. The omelettes were perfectly constructed, beautifully wrapped around a generous heap of our chosen toppings. The good came out fast and hot and was absolutely delicious. The servers were cheerful and pleasant and it had all the feels of a local neighborhood favorite. 10/10 recommend. Will definitely keep this gem in our back pocket when we’re traveling to and fro SFO.“
“Had a fat weeklong craving for smoked salmon, and this was one of the places that's been on my radar for brunch. First thing I noticed was how cute the interior is!! It's decked in flower decorations and interesting table setups. They also have screen-free weekends, so don't come here on a weekend if you need a place to sit down and work. We got the smoked salmon toast with avocado, berry brûlée toast (a spring special item!), and a matcha latte, which they say is made with ceremonial grade matcha imported from Japan. Smoked salmon toast was standard smoked salmon toast, which in my opinion, is all you can really ask for if you love smoked salmon like me. The crust on the toast was a bit overly hard, though, but I mean...I feel like any cafe with thick toast is going to have that. Berry brûlée toast was nicely sweet and creamy, but I had hoped there would be more berries. Matcha latte was STRONG on the matcha. We ended up diluting it with more milk from the communal pitchers LOL. It's good you know they're not diluting it themselves though! Overall, I'd definitely be back. It's a bit pricey here but still more affordable than other brunch spots. Waffles look great too!“
“I was pretty impressed with my visit to Royal Donut Cafe. I didn't come for their donuts, but for their breakfast and they had some of the best country fried steak I've had a in a while. The interior is very dated so that might turn some people off, but they are expanding the restaurant and taking over the space next door. They said that there is a possibility that they open for dinner in the future too. Staff were very friendly as well. Parking in the area is certainly a pain in the area, but there are paid parking lots near by. Country Fried Steak & Eggs ($15.95) was what I ordered and it was massive. I was stuffed after eating it and the steak had the perfect breading. The sausage gravy was very tasty and the hash browns were also a large portion. The eggs they also cooked really well and they don't overcook them like I accidently do at home because I love runny eggs. It is definitely worth a visit here although I have no input on their donuts or pastries personally. Their breakfast is top tier though and you get large portions. Would recommend this breakfast spot to anyone in the area.“
“We were in town for a wedding. Came in for breakfast with the family and enjoyed our whole experience. The food came very quickly, and it was delicious. The service was great, we got multiple refills of our drinks and the staff was very friendly“

“This is an excellent spot where breakfast is always excellent! This is the only place where I can order grits that are perfectly cooked and exactly how I remember them! I found this hidden spot when ordering on Door Dash; although I had lived in SSF for years and did not know about this hidden gem! Highly recommend! I will be ordering lunch soon as I am sure it will be just as good.“
“What a fantastic find and worth a visit! The ambiance is simple, very clean and incredibly friendly. The food is amazing we all had completely different dishes from pancakes to lunch to Bulgogi, all so impressive. Our meal was topped off with complimentary watermelon and grape dessert, what a wonderful touch. I haven't seen this special kind of service in the bay at a cafe. Excellent food and service!“
“The service is amazing! They are friendly and personable! Every time I come in, they greet me with a friendly hello. The food is amazing, especially their chicken-fried steak. They also make great lattes! I highly recommend Breakers Cafe!!“
“Came here for breakfast and forgot this place existed... super reasonably priced and the owner is so friendly and caring. Parking is ample, but the entrance is in the garage and I needed to hit the handicap door opener to get in as this place opens at 7am, but city hall opens at 8am. Plenty of choices and the super (mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers) breakfast burrito was amazing and flavorful. Will come back for sure!“
“A very enjoyable experience. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. I had the Corned Beef Hash breakfast with two eggs, potatoes, and English muffins. The service was very good and my server was quite friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant.“
“Absolutely amazing Swedish pancakes. I was happy that this place does not smell like syrup but does smell like coffee. Good prices and filling portions. Great homemade style corned hash....best I have had and I order it for breakfast regularly. I would highly recommend this restaurant but they did recently change their hours and menu to all breakfast, just FYI.Parking: Parking is limited so grab a street parking spot if you need.“
“Best food in town! I can not get enough ! , staff is so very welcoming the atmosphere is clean and beautiful , and the service was so fast !!everything is made so fresh!!!! It’s one of my top 3 places to go ! I wish i could give it more stars !!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“Food is great, as always. Helpful and nice personnel. Service time was a little late to me but as an overall it was good!Parking: There are no bike racks to park. At least I couldn't find one.Kid-friendliness: Some kids and a lot of noise but the service personnel had it under control and were helpful.“
“Joanie's ambiance was delightful, especially on a rainy afternoon. No trouble getting seated, and though it was bustling, the crepe and eggs were wonderfully flavorful.Excited to return and try the smoked salmon version. Great spot for brunch, though a tad pricey.The servers were prompt and courteous.“
“We were a big party, like 12 people, which I think is very unusual in the late afternoon. There was only one staff member working on the floor, and he was diligently and humbly serving food, taking orders, and caring guests. We had to wait a bit but it's understandable. Thank you very much for your service!“
“The staff was friendly and we were promptly seated. There is a dedicated gluten free menu. I ordered the veggie tacos. I did order a side of bacon that never came out but it wasn’t a big deal for me. They get busy after 11:30AM. I’d definitely go back for a GF waffle!“
“My husband and I were craving breakfast, for dinner, and decided to give IHOP a try. It was perfect! The restaurant was very clean, we were seated promptly, our waiter was fantastic and the food was served hot and very good. We'll be back!“
“Absolutely destroyed a plate of Blueberry pancakes. Server was an absolute bro and I think my life is better having eaten here today.Parking: Lots of parking spots.Kid-friendliness: Lots of families dining here plus plenty of high chairs.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs required to enter the building.“
“*** Update***I recently went here again and tried the corn beef hash. I highly recommend it.Also, tried the Belgian Waffle so fluffy and butteryI passed by this place a few times and always wanted to stop by and try it. Finally, I got to try it, and this place is amazing. Upon entering, it seemed super busy. It looks like the place has been here for a while, but the chairs and tables looked modern. Not worn out and faded looking like some places.I was warmly greeted, right away. She looked like someone who enjoys her job. She told me that he chicken fried steak was the special today. So naturally, I had to order it. The portion was just right. It was crispy and so flavorful with the gravy.The other item we ordered was a ham and cheese omelette with pancakes. It looked so basic, but the flavor was amazing. The pancakes were buttery and delicious.I highly recommend this hidden gem. It is definitely worth it. It was reasonably priced, and the portion was just right.“
