BG's Cafe

My pic here isn’t that good but the food is amazing go for the spicy salsa it’s pretty hot and it still tastes great. Straight awesome service. Breakfast was amazing!

BG's Café if you are a native to Oxnard, you definitely know this mom and Papa's joint. I've been coming here for decades. Love the nostalgic place, fantastic quality, and better tasting eats. Can't go wrong in this place. I highly recommend it. Like always, my sister's and brother's make you food soul happy and enjoy. God bless

I love this place! I come every weekend for breakfast, and if it's on their "specials" menu, I always get the same thing--Pork Chop and eggs. It's soooo good! Angela and the rest of the staff knows what I want as soon as I walk in. They're all very attentive and your coffee is never empty. It's nice and cozy and the food is delicious. That said, it can get crowded on weekends so be patient!

Food was good but I wasn’t too happy that they changed that ketchup that was inside the heinz ketchup bottle which made my food taste kinda sour.

I've gone to BG's Cafe 2 weeks in a row on my day off. It has a great atmosphere, excellent service, and awesome food. The first time I went I got the tri-tip and eggs, hash browns, and a side of biscuits and gravy. It came to the table fast and everything was delicious. This week I got the country fried steak and eggs, with the same biscuits and gravy. This is gonna be my day off breakfast spot. I don't know my waitresses name but, she was great too. Thanks for a delicious breakfast!!!! Another great breakfast at BG's had the sausage and eggs and of course my biscuits and gravy

A local cafe, cozy. This is the first time to see a cactus omelette in menus, so why not? I like it with their homemade spicy salsa. The biscuit is just baked, fluffy!! The waitress often visits to check on us, which is very nice :) Oh, one more positive thing is that they open at 6:30am, which is rare for our town. We love it as early birds.

Don’t walk… RUN to this place for amazing authentic fare! This was exactly what we hoped it would be after stumbling across it post a full day of travel. Great food, staff, and atmosphere. I had the breakfast burrito with chorizo and my wife had the huevos rancheros deluxe with green salsa and both were out of this world!! Highly recommend!! 🌯

Busy place on a weekday morning, so I knew it had to be good. An old cafe that seems like locals should have a reserved coffee cup hanging on the wall awaiting their return. Ordered bisquits and gravy, sausage, two over easy eggs and a side of bacon. Did not disappoint on the food other than did not receive a full serving of gravy for my biscuits. Waited for my food order for 45 minutes after ordering but food was perfect.

So I woke up in need of some Sunday morning nourishment! I went to my downtown Oxnard old reliable and once again BG's cafe didn't disappoint! I wanted something savory, somewhat healthy and that I wouldn't feel self conscious about later in the day! So I ordered the Nopalito Scramble with perfectly seasoned O'Brien's potatoes (totally worth the extra apostrophe). The egg to veggie to nopales ratio was on point and I even ordered an extra flour tortilla as the portion was more than I thought I could pack into two palm sized glorious breakfast tacos! The grilled Jalapeño was the perfect compliment and of course the never ending hot coffee fresh off the pot fill-ups were on the spot! Overall, I enjoyed it very much! You can tell by the ambiance that this is a great escape from the usual taquerias and chain restaurants in the area! Like a breath of fresh air-- BG's came through to solve my ever growing search for something different in Oxnard! Service was friendly, on point and I appreciated them coming by to check on me multiple times throughout my breakfast even though the place was packed and busy AF!

A hidden gem! In the heart of old town/downtown Oxnard, parking is a little challenging on the street but there might be more in back? This is an incredible breakfast spot! But their menu is huge! And not just breakfast! My husband stumbled upon BG's a few weeks ago and just loved it! So... with great pride he took me here for breakfast and it was so good! The service was great, we were offered drinks right away (sadly they were out of orange juice) and after our drinks were brought out we sat for quite a while before anyone came to take our order. My husband had to actually make a point to say "we're ready". Honestly throughout our meal our server was very friendly and attentive. My reason for 4 stars and not 5 wasn't because of that but rather what they charged us for our 12 oz iced teas at $4 each. Way overpriced! BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse only charges $2.79. I also think $6 for a side of 2 fried eggs is a bit over the top. Just saying... I absolutely plan to come back and definitely recommend giving them a try!

We didn't want a big breakfast due to an event we would be attending. I love oatmeal and so that's what I ordered. It was creamy and delicious! The locals seem to love this place and I can see why. Staff is friendly and helpful. The restaurant looks like a hole in the wall but it's not, very deceiving. It can accommodate a good amount of customers

I can't believe that in all the time I've been coming to Oxnard for work, I've never stopped by BG's cafe. This is your quintessential local's diner. Classic breakfast and lunch offerings among other things. However they cater to the locals, lots of mexican breakfast options, and you can choose tortilla as side instead of your typical toast options. Today was a breakfast kind of day. Bacon, eggs and coffee. Not pictured was a side of salsa they brought me that really kicked the whole meal up a notch. For a Monday this place was packed, but I didn't wait long for a table. The service is great, everyone was very attentive and food came out hot and fast. ! The inside is cozy. The walls decorated with old photos of the city and surrounding areas, random knick knacks sit on shelves as if you're in someone's grandma's house. One thing that made me exceptionally happy is that there is lots of booth seating. Even the tables in the middle of the room have booth seats. Classic and no fuss. This place has definitely made it to my list for go to diners next time I'm in this area.

One of the must try if you're ever in downtown Oxnard. This restaurant has been around so long, you can see cool historical artifacts and photos here. Food is always flavorful, never need to add much to your plate. They have a variety in the menu and look for their specials as it's not on the menu. Service is friendly. There's plenty parking in the back if you have trouble finding a slot in the front.

The people working here are very nice and helpful, they have a very large menu, I got the hot pastrami sandwich and man was that a good choice. Healthy amount of meat, very tasty sandwich and the fries were nice and crispy. Check it out if ever in the area.

What a cute little gem in downtown Oxnard! Everyone was so friendly and I loved the homey feel of the restaurant. There was a good variety of kids' options, which is a plus as my toddler is especially picky, but he loved everything he ate. Shout out to their country Benedict - heavy but beyond delicious.

I've come to BGs and had delicious food before but this last time was lackluster. I hate giving bad reviews but this is just for the dish and not the restaurant itself. Waitress was nice and attentive. Cafe was bustling for a Sunday morning. Just this pozole was no bueno. The broth was very thick. My mom complained that her chile verde was not servers HOT, just warm. Hoping next time will be better!

My family and I have been eating at BG's Cafe for years especially after our kids' soccer games. Friendly service and the owners are very attentive. Our kids opt for their pancakes and chorizo and eggs. We highly recommend this place as its a gem in downtown Oxnard.

We went to this place to get some sandwiches, they took our order right away. I ordered the chicken sandwich and my husband ordered the Philly cheesesteak sandwich. OMG!! They were so delicious and had so much flavor. I was able to take a photo of my sandwich but I didn't get a chance to take a picture of the Philly sandwich because my husband just devoured it. lol it was that good!

This place doesn't disappoint me every chance I come here. It has that typical Mom n Pop local cafe settings. I come here for omelets, biscuits and gravy. Their price has gotten higher but what hasn't. Today, I had Chorizo omelet with country fried potatoes, biscuit and a side of gravy. I also had a decaffeinated coffee. The whole meal including the tax is $25.00. Their portion is big so I can only eat almost half of the servings. Their food tasted like they are home cooked. The biscuit is bready which I like and the gravy is not overpowering. They make their own chorizo. Presentation is good. Until my next visit but this place is highly recommended.

Food is delicious!! Pick your plate it's great!! Fast service and nice people too. Old diner feel. price is reasonable. Do it! Do it!

First time here I was impressed w the food, a little bummed they didn't offer mimosas but everything else felt like I was in someone's home kitchen, the waiter lagged with my coffee even tho we asked him about 3-4 times, we eventually just got up and served our own coffee, overall Goode experience tho god I finally got to try it and we will be back

I absolutely love the small town feel in the busy hub of downtown Oxnard that BG coffee shop brings. Walk in from A street and you feel the nostalgia of classic coffee shops with groups of retirees gathered about having coffee and sharing a laugh. Walk out the rear and you welcome the hustle and bustle of the train depot and all around it. The menu classic options to make everyone satisfied. Although options may look standard, the execution and flavors were on point. The chicken chilaquiles with green sauce has to be the best I've ever eaten! Ask for a side of the salsa on top to add more flavor! The biscuits were light and fluffy fresh made in house and it carried so well. The gravy was standard but add a little more pepper and hot sauce and bam welcome to flavor town! A great little start to the morning.

Our favorite Breakfast spot ! My husband and I never leave disappointed! We like to try out new plates and today my husband tried the super Reuben sandwich and he loved it ! Customer service is always above and beyond exceptional!! We love everyone here ! Thank you BG"s for the great hospitality and yummy food !! HAPPY NEW YEARS AND MAY THIS YEAR BE FILLED WITH BLESSINGS AND LOTS OF NEW CUSTOMERS! Dios Los Bendiga !

Food: Great quality, fair pricing. Everything from breakfast to lunch items are delicious and high quality. Your coffee cup will never go empty here! The staff are very patient and it has a very homely vibe to it! Ambiance: Old-school, laid back vibe. Great mom and pop restaurant, check it out!

Great food selection, top notch service! Wonderful selection! They even allowed unusual adds to our steak and eggs like mushrooms and avocado! Everything tastes great! Definitely coming back to try the French toast!

Are first time here ,the food good service good "BUT " My order was Kids pancake egg and bacon 2 chilaquiles for my Wife and I and My Son's breakfast was bigger than my chilaquiles :( ..Really Good But a little small .

Discovered this place on the back of a fundraiser discount card and this gem had the Best eggs Benedict I've had in a while!!

The breakfast burritos from here are some of the best in the area. They pack them full of meat, or my favorite, the avocado breakfast burrito. You also get a breakfast side with your order, some sour cream and salsa. The salsa is really good, but I would love a fresher pico option. Overall for the value, this food is amazing! I definitely recommend and will get again.

Excellent service and food variety. We have not been disappointed on any of our visits

This place is right across from a new sushi spot. Service was fast and friendly. The portions were big and prices are great. I was however disappointed by the quality of the food. I ordered the apple French toast. Nothing out of the ordinary. Apples would have been better if they were caramelized on the spot and not pre cooked. My friend ordered pancakes and eggs with bacon. She said it was ok. Their coffee was also bitter and distasteful.

Best chilaquiles in town! Best chorizo hash ever! Great service too. Love this place in old town Oxnard

This is the spot for breakfast. We were seated promptly and our coffee came right a way. The portions are generous. So, when in Oxnard don't forget to put this place on your list. Don't forget to order the cinnamon roll.

Stumbled upon this place 6 years ago ( live in Goleta ) it's been our go to anytime we are in the area for breakfast or lunch, love the home style vibe, , good food, good service,

We called in the order and NOT one item was missing, everything was exactly as specified - got extra everything , utensils they didn't just say "yea, its in there" and it wasn't (Cafe Amri - every time NEVER gets anything correct) All these other places need to take a lesson from BG's Coffee Shop. Their customer service was very warm and respectful, too. I wish we could have stay in to eat there- I love that atmosphere- Makes me feel like im a kid at home again, -back in the day- Oxnard. I am just sorry I didn't get the waitress' name that helped me, she is amazing- although everyone asked if Id been helped when i was there a very short time waiting. 10 STARS, BG's!!!

Extremely busy so please have patience. Everyone was really nice and our waitress was so busy that another waitress helped out and took our order. Food was cooked to perfection (I'm extremely petty). Definitely must have the biscuits and especially the cinnamon roll! MUST HAVE!!! Definitely going back whenever in Oxnard.

Traveling North from LA and Yelp'd "Breakfast". Nav took us an ass backwards way in but, now that we're here, it's just what we wanted. Pancakes for Sofia, biscuits n gravy for Mike, and steak n eggs for me . Oh, and you can get a side of Chiliquilles. The coffee is just, meh, but this is looking like the right choice for breakfast. Hopefully the nav will get us back to the freeway more directly than it got us here. So, posy meal take away;

Came in to eat some lunch. Sat right away, waiter was super fast and the host. I liked the food, the tomatoe soup and the salad. It was really great and fresh. Was not expensive nice little Cafe. I want to visit and come here again

Fast service as soon as I arrive got water& coffee. Very welcoming, waitress was very nice and attentive. Food was awesome too, I will definitely come again!

This was my plate after eating here the food was delicious worth the wait ! Customer service was great, server attended us very well will be back as soon as possible (later today)

This place has one of the best breakfast burritos ...an that was the bacon breakfast real good add that jalapeño grilled on side with a salsa an u can't go wrong !! Good friendly service an it was packed an still took care of my order thank u ..I'll be back

I have been here three times during my trips to Oxnard. It is a place we really like having breakfast in because of the friendly staff, unique breakfast choices and overall genuine feel. Most recently I had the chorizo with potatoes and eggs. They were seasoned so well and I actually finished the plate. My table also had their regular green chilaquiles and nopale omelet. We were all satisfied and "barriga llena, corazon contento." I want to give this breakfast favorite a 5, but sometimes they do forget certain items. In the end I will still keeping coming back.

We came back to try something new on the menu. It didn't disappoint yet again! We waited maybe 10 minutes if that but it was worth it. I had the strawberry French toast, the batter had a hint of orange. It was absolutely delicious! My husband had the breakfast croissant with hash browns and the meal was delicious, as well. The ambiance is always great with the most wonderful service you can get!

Always above everyone else! Best pancakes, Americana and Mexican menu items. Best service and attentive staff

Thank you Maggie for excellent service getting my order right and always having a smile. The food at BJ's café is the best absolutely come here for breakfast quite often.

I brought my family here for the first time. The Downtowners omelette had lots of flavorful steak. The Apple Pancakes were heavenly, not to sweet and no syrup needed. The mushroom Burger was huge and the prices are fair.

The service was amazing, the coffee was decent. The gravy was terrible! Zero flavor. I have friends that rave about this place but I was disappointed. Maybe a different dish would be better.

If i could give them a zero. I would. I came in here to get a grub hub order, and they told time it would be 15 minutes. I sat here and waiting asked twice on the order. They kept telling me it was being worked on. After sitting here 45 minutes, they come and tell me that the order was sitting up there they never marked it to go. And they now have to remake it. Another 15-20 min.... I still had to wait almost 30 more minutes for this order. Staff didn't seem to care that they messed up. Super unorganized and rude. People who came and ordered to go got their stuff before me. I know the food was not for me but i rely on their time and efficient to do my job. There was a staff member who came to order food on her day off and from start to order it took like 25 minutes F***k this place

Service was amazing staff super friendly and helpful. This was our 1st time and we will definitely be coming back. I couldn't even finish all my food. This place is welcoming and food is authentic they deserve more than 5 stars.

Best chilaquiles I've ever ate at a restaurant. Great food and excellent customer service.

Food is delicious. Service is great and employees are friendly. What more could you ask for?

I drive 40 miles one way to come eat here. Yes it's good. The service is top notch and it's just a nice place to relax and plan your day.

Really great breakfast spot in downtown Oxnard. The huevos rancheros deluxe were amazing & their pancakes were fluffy and delicious. I wish I came with a friend so we could try the chilequiles also they looked great on the table next to me. Highly recommend this spot.

I've gone to this restaurant many times, and the service has been awesome except the last two times. The same young man attended me both times and both times he kept me and my brother waiting and waiting and forgot to call us. And still really said he called us, when in fact, I saw another customer waiting outside that experience, the same service from the same young man. When I go back.? I think not

The food was super delicious! If you're into burritos I recommend the breakfast burrito with chorizo and add beans, it's a must The staff was friendly and kept refilling our drinks and they allowed us to choose where we'd like to sit which I thought was cooool. The vibe in the restaurant is antique and very diner-ish, it's cute. Comfy booths pretty much everywhere XD

This place is great for breakfast. Been coming here for years. Chicken Fried Steak and ham and eggs are my favorite things.

BG's is an old school coffee shop. I've visited twice and breakfast was terrific. Everything all four of us had was great, just what you'd expect and likely want. And served quickly. My next visit for lunch, was satisfactory. One of us ordered the hot turkey sandwich. The turkey itself was very good, as were the mashed potatoes, the gravy.... not that good. I had the open face chili burger. I think it fair to say 'A-Burger' a few blocks away the better choice for a chili burger. The burger patty was OK, the chili was meh. Also, when I see "open face chili burger" I think both side of the bun, patty in the center and a copious amount of chili covering it all, as opposed to just enough to cover the patty. Boo-hiss. For lunch it's probably a matter of knowing what's good. Also, on our lunch visit the service was really slow, again as opposed to breakfast with was out in a jiffy! I'll totally go back, but just for breakfast.

I Love the classic coffee shop decor of this DTOxnard family owned eatery. And you know the regulars do make the drive to support this business because it packs up quick on the weekends even though the dining room is pretty big along with the outdoor seating to take advantage of the gorgeous mid-morning sunshine. Parking isn't a problem because on-site Parking is available. Also, there are loads of street parking since few really come downtown anymore - a sad reality.
