Nasty food! Hash browns were mashed potato’s smushed to a glob, zero seasoning and no color! Benedict had so much vinegar it was inedible! Breakfast sandwich on a croissant was also smashed and grilled to oblivion. Never had such garbage food. Staff were nice, service was good but it’s a no go on the food. We paid, left the food and went elsewhere for breakfast! Sorry

I order eggs, grits, and toast. The service was actually pretty good, but the grits were terrible As they were both watery and granny the cheddar was on top but would not melt after stirring.

Hungry and I wanted real food from a Black owned place. I searched Google and this was closer to me! I passed at first as it is small and rainy. Parked and went in. Immediately greeted by waitress casually and inviting! The head cook looked intently as I can imagine the different encounters.? She inquired was I dining in or to go I said in. Whipped out the menu and utensils and sat anywhere is fine. Placed an order for hot chocolate and use the restroom. Came back ordered. My food arrived quickly, hot , with flare ! Let me just say- I’m not a breakfast person but will definitely come here ANYTIME I’m near! Thanks to staff’s hospitality & PLEASE keep the same COOK! He got skillz ✊??

I have come here a couple times and everytime I go in it's about the same experience. The food and quality is what you'd expect... think I hop ! I really love how this place is decorated and the pricing on food is good compared to the quality. The only thing I think they need to work on would be customer service. This last time I went in interactions were fast and I asked for hot sauce I think twice and I finished my meal before they could bring it. The time before this one we couldn't get ahold of our server not even to pay so we just left cash and left. Not bad and I'll keep coming back but definitely not my first choice.

It's under new management, but with what seems to be little change to the menu. Which is good, as the food is absolutely delicious.

We ate here on a whim on vacation and are so very glad we did, every single bite of all of our food was delicious. The restaurant is charming and the service excellent.

Fruitcup was delicious, grits were ok, sausage was fried in vat of grease like french fries (weird) and toast was burned a tiny bit (was still edible). Counter waitress service was excellent.

We've lived in San Rafael for nearly 10 years and only recently discovered Theresa & Johnny's Cafe. Quite simply: the food is prepared with love--you can taste it in every bite. They make a perfect latte too--consistently. AND they offer tater tots as a breakfast side option--how can any one not love this place?

I've tried a lot of the popular breakfast spots in San Rafael and this is my new favorite after discovering it last year. my favorite is the crispy French toast and crispy bacon. It makes even the most gloom, happy again. If food is therapy then this is the only treatment you need.
