The Castro's kitchen away from home

"Classic Castro in all ways — historic artwork, perfect location, and stellar service. Literally: 'Stella' was stunning, and we'll return because of her. Our breakfast was absolutely perfect."

"We wanted a good breakfast before hiking up to Twin Peaks. This place is great — very welcoming and cozy, and our server was so sweet. I got the bagel breakfast sandwich with bacon. Can't wait to come back."

Tracy B.

"Best cheeseburger I've had. We walked in the night before Thanksgiving and had the sweetest server, Estella — kind, genuine, amazing service. We appreciate these old coffee shops with great food."

Sandra P.

"If you're ever in the Castro you must come here for the early-bird breakfast with a fresh-squeezed OJ. Delicious! Service is excellent — Estela was great. We'll definitely be back."

Nahhjelly V.

"This restaurant has been around forever and always serves excellent food in generous portions. This is their turkey dinner plate — extra cranberry on request."

Ted H.

"My go-to for great fried chicken. Thank you, Solange and Maurice, for keeping this place open and still serving some of the best food in the Castro — and for Fried Chicken Wednesday!"

Curtis L.

"Great iconic restaurant in the Castro. Service is attentive and friendly, coffee is fresh and made locally. The omelet was soft with just the right amount of filling. Lots of regulars come here."

Alan B.

"A wonderful neighborhood diner with food that tastes home-cooked and the kindest service. I can't recommend the clam chowder enough — better than anything I had in two years on the Monterey Peninsula."

"Classic Castro in all ways — historic artwork, perfect location, and stellar service. Literally: 'Stella' was stunning, and we'll return because of her. Our breakfast was absolutely perfect."
