Hearty, homey diner serving classic breakfast & lunch plates
"A waffle from the sweet folks here hits exactly right when I need uncomplicated comfort." - Garrett Schlichte
"Eddie’s Cafe is a palace of pancakes, eggs, and in-your-face nostalgia in NoPa. The very casual diner is where we go when the overwhelming urge to eat buttered toast and ketchup-covered hash browns strikes. Once you’re sitting at the counter or in one of the booths covered in stickers, be prepared to sip piping hot coffee from one of their well-worn, mismatched mugs, and drench a stack of pancakes in syrup. Another reason to get here: you’ll spend less on a full entrée than you would on a single mimosa at other breakfast spots around town, and you’ll also be in and out within 45 minutes max." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, lani conway, patrick wong
"Eddie’s Cafe is doling out old-school diner nostalgia in NoPa. The corner spot is always packed with regulars who greet staff by name, solo breakfast-goers snagging a stool at the counter, and friends nursing hangovers with coffee in one of the eclectic, well-worn mugs. A hearty plate of eggs, crisp hash browns, and pork sausage or bacon will only run you around $12 (be sure to get the housemade biscuits on the side), which is cheaper than a single mimosa at other brunch spots around town. And since everyone knows it, prepare to wait for a table." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
"Granted legacy business status for its long tenure, Eddie’s diner-y atmosphere can practically slow down time. The greasy spoon was opened in 1974 to feed Western Addition customers classic soul food like grits and gumbo, and in 1988, the couple Helen and Min Hwang purchased the place, focusing their efforts on ideal breakfasts and their zany mug collection." - Paolo Bicchieri
"This is a breakfast spot for those looking for a proper place to eat before a long day of work. Though on the same block as trendier restaurants, the low-key energy at Eddie’s could be the peaceful space you’re looking for. A three-piece French toast costs just $8.25 and the coffee, bottomless of course, is just $3." - Dianne de Guzman
