Came in at 11:50, 3 tables of people all waiting for food or drinks, sat down, waited 10 minutes and nobody appeared. No servers apparently. Left. - Avoid.

This place is under new ownership and Silvia and Ken have so many great ideas for this place. I went there for breakfast today and had the Eggs Benedict. The sauce was so good. I'm very picky about my hollandaise sauce. They plan to start opening for dinner. Can't wait to try the dinner menu! I will definitely be a regular for breakfast And the staff is so sweet and on it!

Absolutely the best experience we could have imagined. We called the day before and made arrangements since we had a large party. When we came in the owner came out and was extremely nice. The food came out fast, everything tasted great. Service was amazing. I can't wait to go back there again.

Best thing about my Sunday breakfast was the English muffin. Veggie omelet was tasty but way overcooked - eggs were burnt and it looked like it sat under a heat lamp for too long. The sliced tomatoes I paid an extra $2 for were pale, unripe and had a crunchy rubber texture.Waitress was friendly enough but service was sloooow even though the place was less than 25% full.This place was fantastic when it was located on Victoria Dr. It was decent last time I visited about 18 months ago at the new location on Johnson Dr. At best it is decidedly subpar as of Dec 2023.I like supporting local businesses, but it's gonna be a hard sell to get me back into this place.

I did not know this was the same Cafe that used to be on Victoria. The location is hit and miss. I think when it was on Victoria is was better more traffic. Plenty of parking and when we went there there was only 2 other groups there. The waitress was nice , they gave us free beef tamales that were really great. Place is huge inside , they have a bar, bathrooms were clean. The food was a little bit salty I really like the potatoes and salsa they have home made stuff have to ask the waitress in the back. I want to try it again next time and update my review.

Under new ownership and service really sucked. Waited about 30 min just to put an order in and it wasn't even busy. Food was just ok nothing amazing. I got O'Brien potatoes with omelet. It came with only 5 potatoes. They forgot my toast. Horrible service. I had to remind them three times for my bill. The customers in front of me used their cell phone to call and say they were ready for their bill.

I had the pleasure of being served by Kanyon, and I must say it was an outstanding experience. Kanyon's service was not just efficient, but it came with a warm and welcoming smile that instantly brightened my day. Their attentiveness and willingness to go the extra mile to ensure my dining experience was exceptional were truly remarkable.Kanyon's knowledge of the menu and their ability to provide recommendations made the meal even more enjoyable. Their timing was impeccable, and I never had to wait for anything. It's clear that Kanyon takes pride in their work, and it shows in the quality of service they provide.I left the restaurant with a full stomach, a big smile, and a deep appreciation for Kanyon's dedication to making my dining experience memorable. Kudos to Kanyon for their outstanding service. I look forward to returning and being served by them again!

Service was good, I ordered French toast, eggs over easy and sausage. French toast- so much cinnamon you couldn't tell they used the "heel" of the bread. Which they did. Over easy eggs, I thought meant with runny yokes, these were cooked all the way through. Sausage, cooked so over done had to use a knife to cut it. Orange juice was good. Service was good

We went on a Sunday for a late breakfast, I ordered the Ventura omelette, which was very good and large portion. My boyfriend ordered a chili Quiles with red sauce, the waitress told him it was not spicy. He took a few bites and stated his mouth is on fire, he proceeded to eat the beans and some hashbrowns as he thought it would help with spiciness, but it didn't. He told the waitress about it being spicy, she had no response, he said he couldn't eat it, and she took it away. The manager/owner approached us and said she could take half the price off for the dish he couldn't eat. He asked for the whole price to be off the check, she refused, and then stated if he didn't want to pay she would call the cops, and turned around and walked away. We were in disbelief by that comment! The customer service skills from her is in desperate need of help, especially since she's the owner. It was our first time there and last!
