The food here is amazing. Also the smoothies as well. Yes it's not cheap. But you are paying for quality not quantity. Customer service is very good. The location is good. Atmosphere is very nice. The two times I have gone here I have sat outside. First time was during Covid and the second time was last Saturday.

Went there for the first time in December. I love this place. The quality of the food, the homey ambiance, and the staff are great. There was a problem with our order and the server took it off the bill and got us a fresh plate. The hollandaise sauce tasted homemade and the pancakes were light and delicious. Definitely going back.

We enjoyed our breakfast in the dining room. The breakfast burrito is massive and my husband was defeated by it. The biscuits and gravy were also a highlight. The fresh juices were delicious! Staff were friendly and the food came quickly. Would definitely come again if we're back in the area.Kid-friendliness: High chairs and booster seats available

I've been coming here since I was a little girl. I used to go to the church on the hill when I was a kid and sometimes we would go to Howard's after or go to the union for pizza. Howard's has always been good, I am curious to see how it is with new owners! Looking forward to coming in again soon for breakfast and mimosas. Customer service is also consistently good here. My favorite there is an omelette because it comes with potatoes and the seasonings on their potatoes are my favorite

I was pretty disappointed with the food, to be honest. I mean, with all those glowing reviews, I was expecting something amazing. But it was just... meh. The dishes were kind of cold and lacked flavor, and those hash browns seemed like they were straight out of a freezer bag. It would have been nice if they had mentioned that they were using frozen hash browns instead of ones made in house. And when I ordered huevo rancheros, they just threw some unmelted deli cheese on there. It was pretty obvious the food hadn't been kept warm. Overall, it was a bit of a letdown. The biscuits and gravy were not warm and the gravy was very gelatinous and the biscuits were dry and seemed old. The sausage was a nice.

No waiters - if you want more coffee you are required to get up, walk across the building to pour yourself more... Kinda vibe. Aka (no service)

Hey, do you like eating good breakfast foods? Do you like delicious smoothies? Do you like one of the best egg Benedict you've ever had in your life? Come here, come to Howard Station Café it will be impossible for you to be disappointed. don't be surprised if it's really busy, so try to come before 10 AM everyone knows that this is the best place to get breakfast in Sonoma county. You order at the counter and pick a seat. The food comes out pretty fast and always delicious. I would eat here every day if calories didn't exist.

A fantastic ride on a foggy day, a visit to Occidental is always a fun day. The wife and I had a great breakfast, mine being a fantastic Belgian waffle, and some scrumptious bacon. A nifty spot to chill for a while and have a good meal! Open until 2 or 3, I believe.
