"In downtown Los Gatos, you’ll find Los Gatos Cafe, a charming breakfast spot founded by two best friends who had always dreamed of opening their own restaurant. Though the first location opened almost 40 years ago, the pair has since expanded to another outpost in a more northern part of the city — fittingly named Los Gatos Cafe Uptown. The restaurant is known for its incredibly expansive menu that serves a wide array of breakfast plates, Benedicts, pancakes, scrambles, and omelets. The herb potatoes are a clear favorite, while those with a sweet tooth often gravitate toward the apricot bread French toast or the homemade, gooey cinnamon rolls." - Dianne de Guzman, Cathy Park

One of the best brunch in the area. Portions are big and there are plenty of options. The eggs Benedict with blue cheese is my go to, but the omelets and herb potatoes are good too. Usually have new items every week.

We like their breakfast. Enough portion for us. Easy street parking on weekdays. It will be crowded on weekends.

Some of the best breakfast you will find in Los Gatos. I have been eating there for 12+ years as a regular every weekend. The staff are incredible and always make you feel welcome. I heartily recommend the French Toast (or the French Toast Sandwich if you want some eggs and meat). They also have a great Belgian Waffle with strawberries and whipped cream for those that just have to have one. All buttery and crisp. For those looking for a more modest portion I recommend the Light Breakfast with your choice of one egg, meat, and any pancake (including the special pancake of the day at no extra charge). The potatoes are a customer favorite, crispy and tasty. Remember that there are no reservations, but there is a waiting list, just make sure you have your whole party gathered in order to get seated! Except a modest wait on Saturday and Sunday mornings, more so on any holiday weekend. It is totally worth it though. You will not be disappointed!

Souffle style crab omelette was very good. Sweet crepes were nice and buttery. Service was courteous and prompt. The place gets a little too loud though.

Excellent place to eat! Fantastic menu. I ordered crab cake Benedict and they were out of this world delicious. They came with the best fried potatoes I’ve ever had. Nice and crispy and large portion. The plate was full of food and looked delicious before even taking a bite. See picture. The hostess kept my coffee cup full and was attentive. The whole place was clean and fresh air flowing through. Plenty of street parking for our weekday 8 am meet up. Prices were very reasonable and I was surprised at the great value when I saw the menu. Highly recommended. I look forward to coming again.

Very warmly decorated restaurant, very nice service, very reasonable price, very well prepared dishes, and with great weather! It is our first time there so we might have ordered sth which does not cater to our taste very much. But i still recommend this place to everyone. The best dish must be the souffle omelette! We chose the three-sausage topping and it was so aromatic and delicious. We didn’t like the crepe dish. It has too much butter and sour cream. Too oily for me. Clam chowder is offered on Fridays.

We were in town for a wedding and searched out a place to absorb all that alcohol from the night before. Los Gatos Cafe was a1/2 mile walk down the street from our hotel and had good reviews. I am a breakfast person and the food here was soo good, and really large portions. Definitely will come here again if we're in the area!

Been reading so many good reviews about this place so I finally got around to trying them out. The staff and waitress seemed really nice and did a good job getting our orders correct 5 stars. I ordered their take on a Monte cristo sandwich "comes in a crêpe instead of egg, battered French toast. The Monte Cristo was sooo heavy on the stomach with lots of cheese, the flavor was good but again very heavy. 2.5 stars. Wifey had the Grapes with apricot "the amount of butter they added was just ridiculous "see pictures" good food does not need to be disguised with butter or cheese. Also if you want a hot chocolate it will set you back $6. The whip cream was very good however the hot chocolate was overly sweet. 2 stars over all.

This is a great place for breakfast! Outstanding food, nice service and good outdoor seating! (Personal recommendations at the bottom of review) First, the food was really good. I ordered the eggs benedict which was really good. The English muffin had this beautiful texture that went perfectly with its masterpiece eggs that would spread all over the plate as soon as you cut them. The food was perfectly balanced with all its elements and created a tasty meal for you to eat. Then on top of that deliciousness, the food came out within about 10 minutes and service was super nice. Our server was Sandra who politely asked us if we needed anything, and she made sure to adjust the umbrella so we had the perfect amount of shade. She also was friendly: when one of us changed our order ( pretty much last minute), she didn't complain or seem annoyed. Instead she smiled and started raving about how that dish was so good and that we had made the right choice choosing it. The day we got there, the outdoor seating was pretty full so the servers had a little trouble trying to find us seating. However, they still found us outdoor seating like we asked. The area they found for us was very pretty and cute. There was a beautiful tree with pink flowers but sometimes the leaves would fall down on the table. Good thing that the bees didn't bother us. Personal Recommendations: Herb Potatoes were killer. The texture was great. It was crispy and smooth but crushed just enough to make it irresistible, then a little bit of this herb and a little bit of that spice made it heavenly! This is definitely a step up from your normal side of potatoes. Raspberry coffee cake was the best I've ever had. It was moist and spongy. Then the cinnamon came in and it was really good. Then just a touch of raspberry touched my taste buds and then I couldn't not have just one piece. The walnut carrot bread ruled above all though. It was amazingly soft and moist, it melted in my mouth. Then there was the taste, obviously walnuts and carrots don't sound like they go well together but they do, they really do! If you like really good food then this dish is one that you must try! Overall this place is out of this world. A must-try! I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Very nice place. Service was great and fast. Food tasted very good. My only complaint is the German pancake was like a crepe instead of the Traditional German pancake with the high sided bowl shape.

A popular place for breakfast and brunch. The place was pretty crowded, so we put our name in, and it was about a 30-minute wait before we got seated. Old cafe style decor with inside and outside dining. CORNED BEEF HASH, 2 EGGS: any style. (4/5) This is the canned version, but they crisped up the edges, so it had a nice crunch to it. I got medium poached eggs, and they were delicious. I usually eat them with a hot sauce. COPENHAGEN PANCAKES: 3 french pancakes filled with raspberry cream cheese, topped with sour cream, rasperry topping, almonds, and powerded sugar. (4/5) My wife didn't care for her dish, but I thought it was pretty good and tasty. Thin pancakes but not like crepes. I am glad to have tried it. RASPBERRY COFFEE CAKE (3.5/5) It was good, though, not as moist as another breakfast place. The service was nice, patient, and attentive as he frequently checked on us and refilled our water glasses.

Great diner breakfast filled with locals and fresh food. Fast quick service. All food is of good quality.

I met up with some family here for lunch on a Thursday. We had no trouble finding street parking right around the block. Surprisingly to me, there were quite a few guests eating here! Luckily our wait wasn't too long and we were able to sit outside with our two dogs. It seemed clean and spacious enough for us to sit comfortably with our large 65 and 76 lb dogs and four people at a table. The servers were friendly and so quick to bring us water and take our orders. Food came out quickly and it was so yummy! Would definitely recommend!

Food is amazing! I ordered the crab omelette ant it did not disappoint.. it was delicious! The potatoes extra crispy just how I like it

Solid spot for brunch in Los Gatos! They have both indoor and outdoor patio dining. The outdoor dining area has heat lamps, and they'll open up the awning when it gets too sunny out! I got the Crab Souffle Omelette, and I really enjoyed it! The omelette itself was huge! I was impressed with just how fluffy it was--way better than an ordinary omelette! The Crab Souffle omelette is filled with crab, avocado, tomato, mushrooms, and topped with hollandaise sauce. All of the souffle omelettes come with a bakery item and herb potatoes and grits. I love that you can get a specialty bakery item like their carrot walnut bread or raspberry coffee cake in addition to their selection of breads/English muffin/bagel. You can even add their cinnamon roll, but it will cost you an extra $5. I recommend getting their carrot walnut bread! It's tasty--a little savory and a little sweet--with a great combination of textures. I tried some of the raspberry coffee cake but did not like it as much. I would also recommend getting the herb potatoes instead of the grits. The herb potatoes were quite yummy! We were expecting the grits to be like cheesy grits or shrimp and grits (something with flavor) but these ended up just being plain grits. So unless that's what you're looking for, go with the potatoes! Service is pretty fast and efficient. Parking is street parking or park in one of the nearby public lots. There are a bunch of these in Downtown Los Gatos, so I've never had to walk too far!

It was my second visit to Los Gatos Cafe, and this time, I brought my friends along. Wait time: We arrived on a Saturday morning around 10:30 and waited approximately 20 minutes to be seated--a relatively short wait compared to most brunch spots. Food: The Crab Cake (5/5): My go-to dish, the Benedict-style crab cake, offers a delightful combination of avocado and eggs. The real crab flavor is evident and enjoyable. Cinnamon Roll (5/5): My friend ordered a single cinnamon roll, which was surprisingly large--enough to share among all four of us. Despite not being a big fan of cinnamon, I found the taste quite enjoyable. Strawberry Milkshake (5/5): With various milkshake flavors available, my favorite is strawberry. It strikes a perfect balance, not overly sweet or rich, making it a great companion for brunch. The generous serving size is a plus. I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 due to feeling rushed by the server to pay and leave. While I understand it's a popular spot, the server placed the check on the table immediately after serving our food and asked about boxing leftovers before we finished eating. Additionally, I requested a cup of hot water, but despite reminding twice, it was never brought. Los Gatos Cafe is a relaxed brunch spot and an ideal place for hanging out with friends. Situated downtown, it allows for a leisurely walk post-brunch. However, parking can be a bit challenging with only street parking available, though I didn't incur any charges for parking.

Great food and value! I came here during the weekend with a large group and luckily didn't have to wait very long to get seated. I got the flank steak and cinnamon roll. The flank steak was really tender and seasoned well, and the crispy potatoes that came with it were amazing! The portion sizes were so large that I didn't have room for the cinnamon roll, but it still tasted good as leftovers the next day. I would definitely come back here again to try the other menu items!

Came to Los Gatos Cafe around 10am on a Wednesday and found a sizeable line. We put our name down on the sheet out front, and our party of 4 was seated outside around 20 minutes later. Street parking luckily wasn't hard to find! The staff here are super friendly! We were served coffee and water within moments of being seated with menus, and food came out not long after we placed our order. -crab souffle omelette ($18): the omelettes come with your choice of a bakery item, and I got the raspberry coffee cake, which had a nice tender crumb and wasn't overly sweet (the cinnamon roll is only available on weekends so I'll have to come back). The souffle omlette is very large, smothered in hollandaise and perfectly fluffy. I've had the crab cakes benedict before and will say if you want to eat chunks of crab, I'd go for that over this. Regardless, this is hearty and full of avocado and crab. The potatos are nice and crispy and go perfectly with some ketchup and hot sauce. The portions here are generous, and everything tastes great and it'll be one of my go to classic breakfast/brunch places in the area. Highly recommend you come check it out! :)

This is our new favorite breakfast spot! This is a no frills breakfast spot where they have perfected breakfast. We went on a Saturday around 11:30 and were able to be sat immediately. Upon being seated to getting our food was only 15 minutes maybe 20 max. The service was fast and the food was darn good! The cinnamon roll is a must try. They sell as supplies last. I really enjoyed the Benedict as it was flavorful and it wasn't over powered by hollandaise. Can't wait to come back here

Yelp
This is a great breakfast spot. I'm usually picky about my breakfast places, especially when it comes to potatoes and pancakes. While the pancakes here aren't my favorite, everything else I've tried has been delicious. The service is always fast and efficient, and the staff knows how to handle the crowd, which is impressive given its popularity. I've never experienced any drop in service quality during my visits. I also love their cinnamon roll. Must try!

This one is actually the SO's favorite. We've been trying out a few places to find a good French Toast place. This one is #1 right now: 1. Traditional French Toast with strawberries on the side, and 2. Lite Breakfast (French Toast with blue-berries, an egg, and 2 pieces of bacon) I had the blueberries one and I actually am not a huge fan only because the blueberries were cooked. Not fresh. Would have preferred the fresh strawberries on the side that the SO got. He really liked his order. We both enjoyed our bacon but I thought they could have a done a better job on the egg. We'll be back and I'm still looking for a dish to love. Maybe: 1. Apricot bread french toast (though I'm a bit concerned it will be too sweet), or 2. French apple pancakes Wait was long because it's popular but matched the wait time they estimated for us. Great to eat outside when it's summer time, which was when we came but I'd recommend sitting indoors if it's cold out.

We went here in a group of 6 for brunch on a Saturday. We got the table after a short wait but they won't give you the table without the whole party actually being there. The table we got was cramped and uncomfortable but wasn't anything unexpected. We knew what we were signing up for. I ordered the vegetable benedict and my husband ordered the veggie scramble. The potato bake was actually really tasty and unique. The benedict too was fairly good. I ordered the grits as a side. They were bordering on bad. Completely flavorless. The latte was a hit for me. We also ordered the cinnamon roll for dessert. It was rich but I'm just not a cinnamon role person. It was good though. They also charged us a 18% tip and asked for extra. Overall I'd give it a 3.5 to be honest. Mostly for the food.

Always a fantastic time every trip to Los Gatos Cafe! There's usually parking along the street but get ready to walk and search for a bit if you're arriving on a weekend between the hours of 830-11AM. They have ample seating both inside and outside, and you can indicate which one you prefer. Lots of people with their pups eat here in the outdoor section - it's so fun looking at the cute dogs while you wait for your seat. Once inside, hot coffee is usually brought out quickly. They have vanilla creamer upon request! Their coffee is pretty tasty and they're always really fast at refilling. My husband and I absolutely LOVE the crispy potatoes, so we usually get any breakfast entree that has that. The fluffy omelettes, the filling and decadent pancakes, the luxurious cinnamon roll...there's just too many options and too much goodness. Service is always a delight - friendly waitresses and quick cook time. You won't be waiting for more than 15-20 minutes for your food. There's no cons to eating here! Except...you get really sleep afterwards, haha.

Hey there Party People Want to jump back in time then the Los Gatos Cafe is for you. Super cool 50's decor with a functional old time Jukebox. For you hipsters out there it's a device that plays music..going old school. We had to order a Milkshake....what's a true 50's diner experience without a milkshake. They have some unique flavor option here I went with the Butterscotch and Hubby had the Cherry. The flavor was great but the shakes were on the watery side. I like a shake so thick you have to use a spoon. The Philly Cheesesteak was adequate. The meat was very lean and juicy. There could have been more cheese. Had a side salad instead of fries. If you like twice fried French fries you'll like these and the onion rings were large golden panko style. Hubby had the Open Faced Turkey sandwich. He enjoyed it but thought the gravy didn't have that rich homemade flavor that he was expecting. I would comeback and try other things if I were in the area, but I wouldn't make a special trip just to eat here. Be kind to one another

We were in the area for the day and hubby and I decided to grab a nice romantic brunch together at this cafe. We were seated outside since it was really nice weather. We ordered: Blueberry smoothie: 4/5 it was tasty, heavy banana flavor Omelette prima vera: 4/5 hubby liked it but I couldn't really taste anything after I had a bite of my crab Benedict. Crab Benedict: 5/5 clear winner of them all. Wow so full of flavor! Loved it. Add avocado. You won't be disappointed. The potatoes were amazing too! They had a nice crisp layer to them. I was so stuffed after eating this. Carrot walnut bread: 4/5 barely had enough tummy space for this. Moist and tasty! Good friendly service. I can't wait to come back.

I think this might be one of my favorite breakfast/brunch spot in the bay. We went on a Sunday around noon, prime time. Parking wasn't too bad, there's lots of free street parking as well as some free lots which is nice. But there were a significant number of people, maybe like 6-8 groups waiting in line, plus people on the waitlist, but surprisingly, they told us the wait would only be about 25 minutes or so. I was a little skeptical about that time, but we came back about 25 minutes later, and they actually got past us on the waitlist. Luckily, they don't remove you if you're not there right when they call your name like many places do, they just keep you next if you come back. That lets you walk around Los Gatos downtown which was nice, and we were seated shortly after we got back. The menu is a little crazy, it's massive with lots of different options, which was a little overwhelming. I ended up getting a fresh orange juice and a 3 sausage souffle omelet with the potatoes. The omelet also comes with a free bakery item, but I upgraded it to a cinnamon roll for a few extra dollars. Everything came out very quickly which was nice. The juice was fine, nothing crazy, but the omelet was really good, very light and fluffy, very cheesy. The potatoes were great, nice and crispy and well cooked. The cinnamon roll was not my favorite just because it was a little too doughy, but it was huge, and the cinnamon butter and everything on it still made it pretty good. Also if you take too long to eat it, it does dry up, which is fairly common with cinnamon rolls. We also got a coffee bread which was really dry. I don't think the bakery items are that great, but the main dishes were enough to make me want to come again. I think LG Cafe gets everything in a breakfast/brunch spot right - incredible value, fast service, solid taste. One thing that was rough, the tables against the wall are fixed to the floor. The table next to us had their table extended to seat 3 people per side instead of 2, and that made getting out rather difficult. In order to not inconvenience everyone too much and make people move everything off the table and fold it down and get out of their seats - we opted to just crawl out from under lol. Luckily we don't have any mobility issues, but it was not too fun when you're stuffed from the big portions haha.

Came here based on yelp reviews. We ordered a strawberry pancake and banana pancake. The portion size was good, ambiance was great. Service was good, we were seated almost immediately. The pancake themselves were chewy, a cross between a crepe and bubblegum. I must admit that I've never eaten chewy pancakes before. The place was crowded and so maybe other menu items were better but pancakes were terrible. They should consider removing it or at least serve store bought frozen pancakes.

Jelina B.

Yelp
Service was terrible. Nobody greeted us and after we got our food, 2 minutes later they set the check on our table. Robert, the owner of the place condoned in the behavior of his employees. Unacceptable. Since when do you go out to a restaurant and not even get greeted by your waiter? Their goal is to get people in and out as quick as possible, despite terrible service. I will not be coming back here.

Returned yesterday for a late breakfast. Checked in about 10:30, was seated at an outdoor table about 10:50, and out with a full stomach by 11:30am. Service was kind and professional. I ordered a lite breakfast with French toast, scrambled egg and bacon. My teen ordered a potato dish with sundried tomato pesto and sautéed vegetables with raspberry coffee cake. We will be back soon

We're big fans of Los Gatos Cafe for brunch! Unlike other brunch spots, the wait here is surprisingly short, and the prices are quite reasonable. The cocktails are incredibly enjoyable, making it a perfect place for a girls' outing. The cafe boasts a bright and inviting atmosphere, perfectly encapsulating the classic American brunch vibe. Absolutely love it! It's definitely worth the brief journey to Los Gatos, especially since it's conveniently located just on the outskirts.

The morning after spending the previous evening celebrating the 100th birthday of grandma, we picked this nice little spot before our short journey back to SoCal. And what a very good choice it was! Initially the thought was to grab some Java and a quick bite before hitting the road but we decided to slow it down a bit to a more relaxing pace. Sure glad we did it. The service was welcoming and tentative. Our coffee never got cold. We ordered a few items to get an overall feel of the breakfast experience. From a nice warm bowl of oatmeal to savory crab cakes and then off to eggs and sausage and finally the chorizo scramble. Very very delicious from beginning to end. I'd like to add that the crab cakes were some of the best I've tasted so far. Accompanied by slices of avocado and a well balanced hollandaise sauce. The chorizo also added great flavor to the already tasty scrambled eggs. Just right! Sidenote... great seasoning in the potatoes too. If you're in town and you're looking for a great breakfast spot, I absolutely recommend Los Gatos Cafe. We'll be sure to stop in again to give lunch a spin the next time we're in the area.

Staple classic brunch place in dt Los Gatos. Diner vibes. Pretty busy on weekends but worth the wait! The portions are huge and the crispy herb potatoes side was delicious. Must try the famous cinnamon roll on the weekends!!

The owners are very welcoming. We enjoy visiting and sipping their wonderful margaritas. Good service and good food. The live music isn't necessarily great, but it's a fun place for expats whom seem to love the music.

Very good service and excellent coffee and breakfast. We had the California eggs Benny and western omelet with fruit and potatoes sides. So delicious and filling. The service was attentive and quick.

I can see why this place is so popular! Came on a Friday afternoon and it was busy! Ordered the build your own omelet with a ton of veggies and feta. It came with a choice of a bakery option AND potatoes. SO good! Everything was perfection. One of the best omelets I've ever had. Generous portion, fresh ingredients, cozy ambiance. This is going to be my go to brunch / lunch place in Los Gatos!

Haleh H.

Yelp
Great service & delicious generous portions for this place. The ambience is pretty casual, they also have some outdoor sitting which is cute. The staff seem so happy which brightens your day - hey're all smiling and are nice. The food tasted great and the price was reasonable. Great for a tasty relax easy Sunday brunch. - Cinnamon Roll: big portion & sooo yum. Loved that it was served warm. It was so delicious, big portion though, had to take the rest home. I didn't care for the butter on top. - Herb Chicken Avocado Salad: it came with a side of Carrot Walnut Bread, which was aaamazing! The salad was good, pretty standard. Chicken was cooked well. - Benedict Super: sooo good, big portion. The eggs were cooked perfectly. A lot of tomato & avocado, which I appreciated the generosity. Great flavor overall. The potatoes were crispy & yummy. Loved the dish.

Can't believe I've been sleeping on their crab cakes all these years! Once you try it you'll never look back. Would choose it over the Benedict and maybe even the Souffle Omelette.

No wait on a Tuesday lunch. We were seated immediately and there was seating indoors and outdoors. I went with a guacamole bacon burger with fries, and my friend got the half order of tuna veggie sandwich with salad and the soup of the day (French onion soup). My burger was just decent, but fries were pretty good. My friend enjoyed her tuna veggie sandwich, but wasn't a fan of her French onion soup of the day. Food came out pretty quickly. I think if I do return here, I would try a benedict instead!

Amanda C.

Yelp
This is one of my favorite breakfast places to visit!! The menu is huge and there are so many different options. On the weekends only they offer the most delicious cinnamon roll that is massive and honestly can be shared between 3 people! The service is very fast and friendly. They do not take reservations so on the weekends there can be a wait time for a table that pushes an hour long. Definitely a great casual, breakfast place to take the family or to go with friends!

Christina Y.

Service was quick and food was delish! The portions were big so we packed leftovers to go. After having brunch, the location was perfect for a stroll in downtown Los Gatos. Will definitely come back here again.

Stopped by here for brunch around 12:30 PM on a Saturday and was seated after around 5-10 minutes. I ordered the quesadilla with no olives and no cilantro, and my friend ordered some blueberry crepes with a blueberry smoothie. The quesadilla was pretty solid, it came loaded with lots of avocado, tomato, and cheese. I wasn't a big fan of the super floury taste that I got from the quesadilla shell itself, but overall it's a good choice to get at this location. My friend's crepes weren't as thin as some people would prefer, they were more like pancakes in terms of thickness. The blueberry smoothie was our favorite, it was thick and nourishing in texture and flavor. Overall, I'd stop by here if I was in downtown Los Gatos and try something else different that I didn't order this time.

New favorite brunch place in the Bay unlocked!!! This place has a long wait if you coming during peak (weekend morning) hours and there's a reason for it-- their breakfast is so delicious, they have ample amounts of seating both inside and outside the cafe, and their prices are super reasonable! This is what we ordered: Basic Breakfast with crabcake, 2 poached eggs, and herb potatoes (4.25/5): crab cake was a bit smaller than I had hoped, but they had generous amounts of delicious potatoes and it comes with a side so it was still worth it. Their poached eggs were good but I recommend scrambled eggs to go with the crab cake. The hollandaise sauce was thick and eggy, perfect with eggs and crab cake. Raspberry Coffee Cake (5/5): comes with the basic breakfast (but you can order it a la carte) and this stole the show!!! The cake texture was perfectly soft and moist and crumbly, so it falls apart and melts in your melt instead of on your fork. Loved the mild and not-overly-sweet raspberry flavor! They also served it with sweetened butter, which made it even better. A must-get if you come here!!! Seafood French Pancake (4.5/5): can be weird initially from the sweet and savory combo but it definitely grew on me. They were generous on the shrimp and crab. The french crepe was so soft and delicious.

Nice service and good food! Ambiance was nice! We had a very picky eater kid with us with who we always have an issue of getting something to eat. Here they made him happy. The only thing was not good was burger, everything else was delicious!

Took the little ones here for lunch. Kids menu was nice and varied especially for picky eaters. They enjoyed their food very much. The regular menu was extensive. We really enjoyed what we ordered. And the service and ambiance were perfect.

I dont know where to begin, the service was not the best. The waitress became better towards the end of the service. However I wasn't too pleased with the overall experience. The French toast and waffles were not that good. You can make them yourself at home and they'll taste 100% better! The coffee cake wasn't anything special. I was looking forward to the cinnamon roll, but that's a Saturday option ONLY. We asked about clam chowder and that's a special day only. It's strange that everything has its own day. I think that was ridiculous to be honest because I didn't see it on the menu. Also we brought my sisters husband that just flew in the day before for his birthday and they said they don't do anything for birthdays. We got two mimosas and both were watered down and neither of them liked it, but our friend couldn't even get it past her. For five people and one of them not ordering it costed us $100. I wouldn't really recommend this place as much as I wanted to like it since I was told to come here by a family member!

This has got to be one of my favorite breakfast spots in South Bay. The staff is great, the food comes out super fast, and the food is so delicious. The DESSERT options though, are superior. You have to save space in your stomach for dessert. Some of the options have dessert included!! There's always a wait, but it goes by fast and we usually go before lunch time around 9-10am so it's not as bad. It's pretty fun sitting at the bar so if you ever have a chance go ahead and take it. Their dessert menu is seasonal and changes often but they have really good crumble cake (that is WARM) and the cinnamon roll buns (weekends only)... HUGE and lovely. I usually get different dishes because I like to try different styles of breakfast but my favorite one to order is the Mexican Flag. It also comes with a dessert!!!!

Some of the best brunch ever! Vanilla fro-yo shake was decadent and not too sweet. The crab souffle omelette was fluffy, topped with quite possibly the best hollandaise sauce I've ever had, and came with a side of crispy, well-seasoned potatoes. The pancakes we got were supef tasty and unique as well! Overall a solid place for brunch food. Just wish it wasn't so far away :( Note: If you're seated inside or using their bathroom, you'll end up smelling like food afterwards because of poor ventilation!

The food here is outrageously good. The soufflé omelette was light as a cloud and the cinnamon roll was perfect.

Their breakfast menu is extensive. Lots of yummy choices. It was difficult to just select one. I wanted to try so many items. Their Copenhagen Pancakes were delicious. I enjoyed their Seafood Benedict. Everything was tasty. Typical American diner interior. Servers were super nice and helpful. Coffee was refilled regularly.

I can't imagine what this place was like when it first opened but it is a gem of a location. I mean wow, mouth watering! Old school song machines at each booths with old photography around the whole restaurant. The service was perfect even for a short staff of 3. This place has it figured out. My food was a perfect portion and was one of the best Benedict's Ive had in a long while. The pancakes were incredible. I'm coming back for more!
