    Farmhouse medley
    Stephanie T.

    Cute little place with tables and chairs and some booths. You order your food at the counter and then they bring it to you. They don't check on you after that however. I got the farmhouse medley I think it was called, which was one of their specials for the day. It was eggs, bacon, cheese, avocado, and tomatoes. It also came with home potatoes and an English muffin. I could have also chosen cottage cheese or fruit instead of the potatoes and it gave me a few options of bread as well. I also got some of their freshly squeezed orange juice. Everything was super delicious!

    Mexican Benedict
    Heidi C.

    The Mexican Benedict is a MUST HAVE! Wow, it hit the spot in flavor, texture, portion size, freshness, and uniqueness! Never have I been more satisfied with a breakfast meal. And I'm one of those people who doesn't usually go outside of my comfort zone on menu items but this was an easy YES! Had to do it and didn't regret it. Fresh self-serve coffee in a big mug also made me happy. Go up to the register to order and then they serve it at your table. It was a Wednesday morning around 10am and it was fairly busy without a wait. I saw a diverse group of patrons, early workers on their lunch break, families, elderly couples, and little ol' me grabbing a bite before a business meeting nearby. I saw a lot of people getting their OJ so it must be good. I have recommended to several others and will be back myself. So glad I found AM Goodness Cafe!

    My wife got the Mexican Benedict. The eggs were on a Pork and cheese tamale! DELICIOUS

    Love this cute little place in Vista. The service was great and the food was even better!! Not too crowded and our food came out quickly.

    Hot Sauce Options
    Jemiah J.

    This breakfast spot is located in a quaint center with its own parking lot. I enjoyed my avocado toast, served with lemon zest, sesame seeds, and a delicious fresh-tasting pickle, which was a delightful touch. They also offer plenty of hot sauce options, which I appreciated as a fan of spicy food. They serve both breakfast and lunch all day until closing, which is a great option. My friends and I arrived on a Saturday, and it wasn't super busy. We didn't have to wait for a table, and the food at our table came out quickly. I also love how convenient this place is to where I live.

    There's really not much to say! it's a basic diner. Good, clean, friendly. If you're in the area and you are hungry it would be good place to stop by and grab something quick.

    Another great visit! We went for a light breakfast...ended up trying a bit of everything. Delicious food, great service, and comfortable vibe. The price for quantity and quality was a steal. Big standouts were the stuffed French toast and Nutella French toast. The share plates became a war zone, and I barely got to try some of it. Will definitely come back when I'm in this part of town!

    Breakfast!
    George D.

    First off let me say that I ate here a week ago and I forgot to leave a positive review, the very next day I was out and about and I didn't feel like grabbing a fast food breakfast so I opted for Denny's....well that was a mistake. If you're a Vista local or even in the surrounding areas of Carlsbad or San Marcos, this little spot is totally worth it. It's the PERFECT little lunch or breakfast spot. So many good offerings as well as daily/weekly specials they post at the register. Now I understand Denny's is a "go to" for many people, what I'm saying is quit wasting your money on Denny's and come grab some food that has heart. The plates and portions do not disappoint. They seem to take pride in what they serve and that my Yelp friends is what it should be all about. Valeria at the counter has such a great personality as well.

    Lobster Benedict
    Alisa F.

    The food was delicious! I ordered the lobster Benedict and my husband got the green omelette. Everything cooked to perfection. The hollandaise sauce was perfect, not overly lemony like you find in some places. Reasonable pricing. Delicious hot coffee!

    Mexican benedict
    Jordan Z.

    Very satisfying experience all around! One of the best breakfasts I've had in a while. Mexican Benedict with poached eggs over an amazing pork and cheese tamale. So flavorful, rich and a tad spicy. My wife had the biscuits and gravy which was also good, but the biscuits could use a bit more gravy. Can't wait to come back.

    Chicken Fried Steak

    First time here. I had chicken fried steak which was delicious. Definitely will be back.

    Hands down best breakfast in north county. This is my home away from home. Locally owned. Owner operated. My son and I come every weekend. Sometimes twice . Try the Ensenada omelette! Fresh chorizo and amazing home fries! My son loves the chocolate chip pancakes . Feels like family here. I love you AM goodness!

Comfortable and casual. Many sign posted about disruptive kids and pets. It was early on a Monday evening, so I don't know if they enforce or not. The fish and chips were cooked very well. The flavor was good on the fish. The fries were crispy. My only disappointment is they served the malt vinegar on small portion cups instead of the shaker bottle. Hard to get an even spread. The pazole and the Cole slaw were both very good. Our server was attentive and friendly. They have water stations - coolers with cups stacked nearby. To me, the water tasted old ( I know -makes no sense). It had a very earthy note to it like the coolers weren't adequately cleaned. Would definitely go back!!

The venue is large, a little bit away from the freeway, but had plenty of parking and space for patrons to enjoy a meal and beer. The space the event was hosted in always decently sized for the number of vendors they had. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the beer options. There was a decently expansive menu to choose from as well. I ordered a pretzel and beer, the ultimate brewery combination in my opinion. The beer was crisp and refreshing and the pretzel was perfect. The beer cheese was divine and paired well. My friend ordered the nachos which were massive. The only idea we had was the beer cheese should be the go to cheese for everything - it was so good it definitely elevated the nachos for us.

Upon entering we were quickly greeted with smiles from the bartenders and welcomed in. The patrons sitting at the bar also smiled at us as we later learned they were the regulars of the bar and one used to be a bartender there. This place gave off such a casual cool dive bar vibe but was actually really nice inside. We ordered the fried zucchini, Nelson burger, and the elliotness burger. These burgers were great! And you can see that in the pictures. Meat was delicious and flavors were tasssssty! I must also say their Irish red and seltzers were super good too. If you're in the area and are in need of a good beer, good food, and chill vibe atmosphere... check this spot out!

Street parking only, but wasn't too hard to find a spot as we came early. The restaurant is very nice and looks new. There is two dining rooms one towards the front near the bar area, and another in the back. We sent in the front for brunch. The menu had a good variety of items, and we decided to go with the chilaquiles and the shrimp and grits. I love Shrimp and grits, and it's not too common on menu's so i has to try it. The dish had pork belly instead of bacon, and shrimp. THe texture of the grits was very good, not too runny or too thick. The shrimp seemed good quality and not chewy or rubbery. I really enjoyed the dish and would order it again. The chilaquiles were an interesting take, not at all what you're normal chilaquiles would be. They come with lamb but we substituted with chicken. They were covered with a type of hollandaise sauce and we both thought they were good. I also ordered a breakfast shot that had bourbon in it, and a piece of pork belly on the top, and a shot of orange juice. It was pretty strong and very good. I would definitely order this one again, and the piece of pork belly they added on top was perfect. I can't wait to go back to check out their happy hour, it looks like they have an awesome menu, and they even do it on the weekends.

My husband and I were consistently blown away throughout the meal. We had a few cocktails (one was the verde) and all of them were exceptionally crafted, balanced and well priced. What really shocked us was how good the food was. These were chef driven dishes with phenomenal flavor profiles and execution. Genuinely was blown away by the charred broccoli and the cabbage dish. I would venture to say I preferred the broccoli dish here than to somewhere like Campfire. On that final note, I'll say we typically go to State street or Encinitas/Solana/Oceanside for our date nights but please, give this place a try. They were so so good! 10/10 from two vegetarians
