Citrus Cafe

Really nice restaurant! The place is spotless even during a breakfast rush. Salmon and eggs is available, even on a Wednesday. As clean and well organized as the place is, it also seems like they treat their employees well. If it's busy the counter service is a great way to get breakfast as well.

10/10 breakast experience! Well worth the 20 minute wait for a table. The swedish pancakes are delicious and melt in your mouth, and the special butter they come with adds some savory richness. The poppyseed French toast is also a must try! Everything was cooked perfectly. Huge portions and fair prices! Wish I lived in the area because I'd go every week.

Come here hungry. They will feed you great sized portions! Service is awesome with seasoned pro Servers; my water and coffee was never empty. My server, who waited on me, was great. I "ear hustled" she has worked there for 11 years, compliments to the management on retaining awesome crew. All in all, great experience, I will be back!

Pretty busy, great food and fresh orange juice. We had to wait a bit for a table for 6. Ordered food for the boys right away and got it shortly after ordering our food. Fast the food was delicious, pancakes, crepes. Also a Denver and an Irish skillet with a biscuit/ gravy. They were good too although I think they could have been a little hotter in temperature ? The fresh orange juice was delicious.

If I get my pick for brunch it's here. I appreciate their flexibility. They have low carb options for sides of I'm needing to keep that low for the day (cottage cheese instead of toast!). Everything is delicious. The ham off the bone eggs Benedict is sublime. I wish I could eat the sweet stuff because my mom usually gets a waffle and they look so good!

You can never go wrong with a good hole-in-the-wall, and Citrus Cafe is no exception! The service was fast, and the food was absolutely delicious. I had the biscuits and gravy breakfast and the OLE omelette—both were amazing. Even though it was busy, they moved quickly and kept everything running smoothly. It’s the perfect spot for a tasty, no-frills meal!

Was super busy for a Saturday morning but they knew what to do. We only waited 10 min. for a table & the food was great, hot & lots of it. Thanks Citrus Cafe for the great experience!

I usually order takeout here, and they are always very nice at the counter and food is always ready when I arrive. I love that they use chunk feta instead of crumbled. Skillets are huge! Pancakes are great!

Greatest breakfast place in Janesville. They have an extensive menu and the food is hot! They have great service too. It's a busy place, but waiting for a table is seldom and/or short!

Stopped here for a late lunch/brunch after hitting the botanical garden. Very busy place, we didn't have to wait long for a table. Seating was a bit tight (tables are very close together). Food was good- the gyro sandwich was delicious, the Swedish pancakes and lingonberry butter was tasty and the Olé omelet hit the spot. Would definitely eat here again when in town. Waitress was very cheerful and friendly.

full to the brim on a sunday morning at 9am but still sat us right away when we walked in! Wide array of options on the menu made it so hard to choose from but finally settled on the Chicken and Waffles and two skillets to share. Great quality ingredients and lovely preparation. A big fan of the whipped butter! Someone nearby got the Swedish pancakes and those looked amazing, might have to try those on another timDelicious, simple, comfort meals!

All good things to say about Citrus Cafe, my family has been eating breakfast here for the past 7 years. Always great food and Amazing smiling faces serving us!!

I got my usual brekky order - a skillet with sourdough toast. It was good - pretty basic tho, nothing special. We ate at the bar area to avoid a wait for a table. Everyone and their mother was drinking the fresh OJ and apparently that is a big hit but I wasn't craving OJ so I did not give that a try.

My family loves this place. A wide selection of tasty comfort foods and more unique dishes, and friendly service. Citrus is a gem.

Classic country brunch diner with an artistic flair. Ambience is very bright-- with pops of citrus in the decor. The food portions are HUGE and I recommend you get the soup & fries. You will take half of your meal home with you.

A tried and true for a cheap, delicious, filling, Janesville breakfast. It's insane that you can get a full breakfast for like 5 bucks and the service is great. Family owned vibezzz. We came on a Sunday at 2ish and got seated eighth away. Service was super attentive the whole time we were there, and our food came quick after we ordered. We got the Ultimate Omelette and Spartan Omellete. It's a solid great portioned meal. Yummy, buttery. Check the pics!! All in all, you can't go wrong with the brekky establishment.

Lovely country style breakfast with friendly ambience and great service. I definitely recommend this restaurant

This place used to be a go-to, a no brainer when the wife and I would want to go to breakfast. Service back then was great, wait staff friendly. Well, the interior may have been painted and the floor redone, but today was the first day my wife and I ever walked out. In the past we have had terrific service from Aggy(sp?), Tori(sp)? and Suzie when she was still there. Can't say the same about Patty who has never gone out of her way to be friendly. I would go as far as to characterize her as consistently unfriendly. We walked in, she and other waitress were busy. Both made eye contact with us, no greeting no nothing. We waited at counter for a while. When she finally emerged, she said "go ahead and find a seat." Implicit in this I suppose was "grab your own menu while you are at it." We did. More waiting, and then a couple more customers came in. She grabbed a couple of menus and guided them to a table. I guess different customers, different behavior? After waiting a few more minutes, we left. This is one place I will not be coming back to. Sad because - again - it was a place we used to enjoy coming to.

WOW! This place was incredibly amazing and yes they have the best orange juice. The only reason we stopped here was because we were on a road trip heading down to Chesterton and I am glad we came here for breakfast. I had a scrambler that had feta, much rooms, spinach, tomatoes and a sauce. This was something new to me but the combination of Greek food with breakfast was a brilliant combo. I also tried the blueberry pancakes they were fluffy and buttery almost like actual cake. I hope I get to come here again !

the food was so good the staff was good but that was slow but that was a busy PEOPLE COME HERE

I stopped in for lunch with my sister. We sat at the counter, which I always love. The place was very busy with people dining in and with a tremendous number of carry out orders. We both ordered breakfast- specialty French toast and a breakfast skillet. The food was delicious and the service friendly and prompt.

the staff was totally awesome & the food was out of this world. the ambiance is always great & the people who eat there are very kind & caring. thank you for reading my comments, wendi

Happily surprised to find this place during our stay on the rock River. The fresh oj was delicious. They have a large menu and we had a large group to tried many of the items. Everything tasted great. A few people in our group were a little disappointed by the size of the waffle orders compared to the size of the pancake orders for items of the same price. There were definitely more pancakes in the order. Other than that no complaints. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would stop by again.

My husband and I were in the area to visit family and The Cittus Cafe was located close by our hotel so why not try it out! This building has been along the river in Janesville for a long time, a staple. It was the Riverside restaurant for a long time. We stopped in for breakfast. The dining room was open for in person dining, the tables were spaced to allow for social distancing and the service was prompt and friendly. After reviewing the menu, I decided on 2 eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and toast. Holy Moly the portions are huge! I couldn't eat it all! The eggs were cooked to my liking, 5 strips of crispy bacon, half a plate of hashbrowns. Bring your appetite for sure. I had a tall glass of their fresh squeezed OJ. We were happy we tried Citrus Cafe and will stop hack when we are in the area.

Amazing food, short wait times, great staff, and a nice vibe! The only downside is that it gets pretty busy at around 9:00 AM, but any time around that should be perfectly fine! I recommend this restaurant a ton!

Kitchen is together. Cashier kind of authoritarian. Need better lighting in men's room. I told him about this nothing got done my last trip. They should expand hours. I don't get up much before 3:00 p.m.

We were in town again and knew this had to be a stop. Did not disappoint. We will be back in town next weekend and will definitely stop in again!

New to the area, wanted to find a good quality breakfast place nearby. This place is amazing- my nickname is butters because i love butter so much but this butter for the french toast is THE best I've ever tried (note: I also have worked in lots of breakfast places over the years so I've tried a lot of butter in my life). Service was polite & food came out quickly. They have mimosas which is always a plus. Wait was only 5/10 minutes once & another time we were seated right away (around 11) however I haven't come in early on a Sunday. Only thing is that the one omelette didn't quite meet my groups expectations. Love this place & plan to stick with it!

Early morning service is mediocre. Waitstaff seem to cater the regulars providing attentive service to them and then barely attend to the needs of other non-regular customers

Classic breakfast/lunch options. Sandwiches, wraps, salads, soups, burgers-- as well as breakfast: pancakes, waffles, omelettes, scrambles etc Popular spot-- plan to wait at normal mealtimes. Visit the awesome library right next door! Great carry-out too.

Very good food service is great it's pretty nice. I tried the burgers there. They're good same with the pancakes. I would love to go there again on the inside. It's great.

Great food! Super fast. We came on a Sunday at about 10am. They were busy and people were waiting. There were only 2 of us and there was room at the counter. We were in and out within 30 min. The florentine omelet was really good. I suggest getting it "fluffy". Also, no cheese needed. They made dairy free scramble and had gluten free bread option.

Do you want the best breakfast in Wisconsin? Because this is it. Pinecone comes close, but between the service, the variety and the amount of food, Citrus Cafe wins. Love you guys thank you for the hard work.

Service was great, food was delicious, the prices were reasonable, very clean. Relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. Would definitely come again when in the area.

Always great food! Breakfast or lunch! Fluffy or flat omelette. Wraps and sandwiches surprisingly good. Excellent service too!

Absolutely do not suggest coming here. Came here on my day off, and spend well over $50 for my family. Got cold food, and they didn't even apologize for it. Not to mention the waiter was as rude as they come

This was our first time visiting the citrus cafe and this place was absolutely packed when we arrived. Every person on the staff was still extremely friendly despite being busy which was great. We ordered the Ole omelet and the Irish eggs Benedict both of them were just okay. Our food came out on colder side. My husband's omelet was over cooked, a bit past golden brown and his avocado was an odd color. My eggs Benedict I feel like the hash should've been cooked more and my plate was sorely in need of something fresh. This is something I noticed when looking around at the other tables. Since it was called the citrus Cafe maybe something as simple as a couple of orange slices as garnish would have been nice. All and all this place was alright. If we visit Janesville again we might consider going back but there was nothing special about the food. I feel like we could've made these just as good at home.

Alway enjoy coming here for breakfast or lunch. They have a large menu to choose from and the orange juice is freshly squeezed.

Was exactly what you want from a diner. Good and quick food with good and quick service. Full house of people always leads me to believe they're worth it and it was tried true here

Amazing flavor and large portions. I will definitely make a retrun stop when i am thru the area again. The chorizo Benedict was a great mix.

This is a nice little cafe. This is the first time I've been here since it was the Riverside Restaurant. They kept a lot of rhe same decore, but spruced it up a little. The waitress was pleasant and prompt. I ordered breakfast, eggs, toast, sausage and, hashbrowns. Everything was good the price was average for what I ordered. Unfortunately I don't live in the area or I weuld frequent this cafe.

Orange juice and food is great. Family friendly. Server was also great. I have two little kids and its is a great experience every time I go

Always great service and very rarely have I ever complained about their food because it's always hot and tasty !!

Stopped for breakfast. Excellent service. Meat orientated restaurant. My husband was very happy lol

Service at its finest. Healthy portions. Had the Avocado BLT Omelette. Bacon spinach and tomato. I requested well done and that is exactly how it came out. It came with a side of hash towns and toast which they had a gluten free choice available for an up-charge. I also prefer half caf. They server remembered to rotate throughout my entire breakfast. She was on top of it.

I've had the pleasure to visit this cafe 3 times in the last 8 weeks while in Janesville for appointments. I absolutely love their fluffy omelettes and hash browns. I've eaten the Bacon Avocado , the Greek with feta, and the Ultimate meat omelettes. All are superb and the hash browns are delicious. My plan is to try every omelette on the menu and then other items. Oh have the choice of either the flat or the fluffy and since I prefer fluffy that's what I order. I usually order a side of crispy bacon which is very good there too! The place is bright and cheerful with plenty of windows for natural light. The cafe is neat and clean as are the bathrooms. You can't go wrong with breakfast options here!

This is a cute little home style cafe was everything I expected. A FULL menu (almost overwhelming) was presented to us as soon as we sat in the small dining room. We all found something that sounded good and ordered. Food was out and hot in no longer than 10 minutes. And boy... was it delicious! I ordered a chorizo burrito, my grandma ordered pancakes, my aunt ordered a cinnamon French toast and my uncle ordered a meat lovers skillet. They all looked wonderful. The servers were nice enough but not as friendly as I would expect from a small town diner type place. The food was all priced very fairly I think. I would definitely come visit again!

Outstanding restaurant! Fresh squeezed orange juice was the best orange juice I have ever had. Our waitress was very nice! The wait for our food was very short. Food was delicious! Highly recommend this place!

It was pretty busy when I got there around 930 or so on a Monday. The main area was pretty full, and they were trying to maintain space between tables, so I was put at a table on the other side of the wall, where one other table was getting ready to head out from. I was given a water, and about 5 min later or so the waiter came to take my order and apologized about the wait. I've worked in serving before and I saw how busy it was out there so I understood. I ordered one egg over medium with the corned beef hash, hash browns, and pancake. The food came out quickly. I was surprised at the portion size when I got my plate. For $6 I was expecting much less food, but wow! Everything tasted fantastic as well. You pay at the cashier's counter whenever you're ready, which I actually like because it doesn't feel as though you're being rushed to pay. I will definitely keep this place on my breakfast list for when I am in town!

Great selection for breakfast! Very attentive staff! Will visit again! Classic diner!

Always an outstanding breakfast with amazing service! The mood is great for kids and families while those wanting to have a good time not having an issue having a drink or two to kick off their day. We try to come in for the relaxing experience every time we are in the area!

Awesome food at great prices. I went for breakfast this morning and I will be going back.

the food is presented at your table hot and very pleasing to look at. The cooks do a great job making sure the plate is as ordered. Last time there I ordered the "fluffy" Denver Omelette with pancake and it was quite tasty and plenty of it. You might have to wait for a while to get seated, they are very busy, they will provide you with a pager when your table opens, but it will be well worth the wait.

Classic American Cuisine with everything made to perfection. Remember to order your glass of Citrus, this will be the best thing you ever had. I have had almost everything in the menu, but Chicken steak with fried eggs is pure utopia.

Citrus is our go to weekend breakfast and lunch place in Janesville. They have the best pancakes, amazing home made soup, great omelettes and freshly squeezed orange juice. Their kitchen is a well oiled machine, we are always in and out quickly and have never had an incorrect order. The waitresses are friendly and remember your face. Excellent prices. But really, get the pancakes or stuffed French toast. You won't regret it!

Incredible breakfast their Fresh squeezes Orange Juice is a MUST! You can't go wrong with one of their skillets, as the hash browns are cooked to perfection and come with your choice of toast fruit or pancakes! Their pancakes are a home run too!

This place is amazing Best Irish Coffee I have had in years and the Breakfast, might I say well worth the Price..
