The typical small town diner! The people are super nice. The food is also delicious. The breakfast potatoes were delicious and crispy and perfectly seasoned. The benedict was savory and tasty. The waffles and french toast were surprisingly tasty! I thought it would be just the typical American breakfast but they put their own twist on it to make it so sweet and yummy! Highly recommend the churro waffles!

The quality of service is excellent. I ordered the French toast, Nutella pancakes, crepe, and Monte Cristo sandwich. The wait time was very short. The restaurant is located near the border of Newark and Fremont. This review is long overdue, service and food is consistently great. :)

Wife and I were in the area one morning. We saw this restaurant and decided to try it. The restaurant was not too crowded and was seated right away. The menu was simple yet had many offerings. Service was excellent and attentive. The ambiance was very American diner feel, and casual. Loaded Crispy Potato Breakfast - 5/5: this started with a base of crispy potatoes layered with scrambled eggs, sausage, ham, bacon and jalapeños topped with a slightly spicy orange sauce. This looked like it was a small portion, but it was quite filling. Would definitely order this again. Churro French Toast sticks - 5/5: These were crispy, brioche sticks stacked high and served with maple syrup. Very good if you are craving to fill that morning sweet tooth. Definitely tasted like churros. These stayed crispy throughout our meal. Wife would definitely order this again. She ordered this with a side of scrambled eggs and bacon as well. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and appreciated the relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend this place for a solid breakfast spot.

My husband and I are breakfast people and My Cafe is one of our go tos for standard breakfast diner foods. My husband always gets one of their french toasts and I usually go for an eggs benny. This time I wanted to try something new so I got the chicken fried steak eggs benedict. The chicken fried steak was very crispy and the gravy was good-it complimented the buttery, flakey, biscuit really well. The crispy breakfast potatoes is also yummy! I have tried stuff off the lunch menu but it's honestly a bit boring. *My favorite benedict so far has been the striploin benedict, I super recommend this! The NY steak is perfectly cooked and seasoned and really surpassed my expectations for a breakfast diner steak.

Food tasted really good. We visited on a Sunday morning but there wasn't a lot of wait. Portion size was slightly smaller than usual brunch places.Vegetarian options: Not very many.

We went there for a weekend brunch. The Berry French toast was really good. The ambience was decent. It took forever for our order to be served though. Maybe they were short staffed. We'll definitely be back!

Spacious, inviting diner. Seemed like a large and comfortable enough space to accommodate wheelchair seating as well. They had several versions of French toast to choose from. My friend had the strawberry and I had plain French toast, both really good! Loved that you can make the French toasts a combo (eggs and choice of protein) so that you can have a sweet and savory breakfast :) Also appreciated the patient and friendly servers that didn’t make us feel rushed. We arrived at 10am on a Sunday so there wasn’t a wait which was nice. Had a great time and will definitely come back and share this place with friends and family!

The food, service, and ambiance is awesome! This is one of our favorite breakfast spots. This place back memories of when I was kid, waking up on a Sunday morning to go to our local breakfast spot.

The food isn't bad but the portions and price are not in line. The ultimate omelet was far less than ultimate at 18 dollars. Just be careful what you order. The service is excellent and the place is clean. The eggs Benedict is probably worth the money and some had sandwiches that looked good. It's not great but it's good.
