Nothing fancy but this place has GREAT HOME COOKING. Husband had Chorizo and Eggs and I had corned beef and eggs. If you like GOOD hash browns that are crispy throughout this is your place. FOOD WAS EXCELLENT! So was the coffee and the staff. Thank you! read more

I come here weekly, they are super nice and always consistent with my food!! I always get country sausage, scrambled eggs, country potatoes, (and a side of waffle sometimes) There prices are fair and no matter what time of the day or week it is they always show love through my food!! Love Bayside Cafe Family!! read more

Loved your pancakes and sandwiches. Nice interior and atmosphere! It's close to my house so hopefully I'll be back soon)

Visiting the area from NJ while on our way to Oahu. Based on reviews we decided to come check this joint out. My oldest ordered Banana Cinnamon Pancakes and said they were the best he ever had. Youngest had kids French Toast platter with eggs & bacon and really enjoyed. My eggs came with home fries that were absolutely perfectly cooked and delish! Hubby had poached eggs with grits and recommends that as well. Definitely worth checking out if in the area. read more

Great breakfast burritos! Runs along the lines of my travels so very convenient. Thanks.

Sometimes you just really need a large amount of breakfast food and you don't care about the quality so much. Bayside Cafe is just the place for you at one of those times. My friend and I came here midmorning one Sunday looking for a hangover cure. It wasn't crowded at all, and even though the lot was filled up we were able to find parking on the street. I ordered the corned beef hash which wasn't particularly great, but it was just what I needed: a huge plate filled with meat, hash browns, and eggs. Have to dock a star because (1) I found one hair in my hash browns and (2) the waitress greeted the Asian family behind us with "ni hao" which is presumptuous and rude. I wouldn't come back here regularly, and the neighborhood isn't exactly inviting, but if you're looking for cheap, filling diner food, then Bayside is definitely a good option. read more

Went there and ordered scrambled eggs bacon and grits. It's somewhat hard to find grits in the Bay area but Bayside knocked them out of the park. I was very impressed with the breakfast even though it was nothing special other than regular scrambled eggs grits and bacon at all tasted fresh and was hot when I picked it up. read more

It's Monday Night Football at Candlestick Park! Dun dun dun dahhh (dum dum, dum dum) Pre-Game eats at the Bayside Coffee Shop! Dun dun dun dahhh (dum dum, dum dum) I'll put it to you like this- I can't say I was a super huge fan of the food. Of my group with 5 people dining together, each item was around 2-3 stars taste wise. My girlfriends sandwich that was literally falling apart while she ate it(the bread got super soggy from the meat) And my Dads tiny, sexy looking charrd cheeseburger: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/IxGgjF0US9_-g13XB1BsKg?select=BZGKAQN2v210mVUz28Pl_w Look at the bacon on this burger! Doesn't it scream delicious! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/IxGgjF0US9_-g13XB1BsKg?select=zj1wF_9b8FUPDdwVw7oLzw But heck, it's a little diner, I'm not expecting much. The real plus however, and what makes it an A-OK 3 stars in my book, is the price! I swear to you, my group of 5 people all ate together for under $40! I think the total came out to $38 something before tip? That's a great price for 5 people! That's an average of under $8 per person for meals and drinks! Food is a little so-so, prices are great! read more

I remember seeing this place way back when I was a youth, and it seems I've been missing out for a long time. The Bayside Café has been sitting in this location for many, many years and I only recently discovered that it's a great spot for breakfast. They serve breakfast all day which is great because my first meal on most days is lunch. I'd been walking around the neighborhood looking for a specific address when I came upon the Bayside Café's front door and noticed the bright red Yelp sticker stuck on the window next to the door. That was my invitation to go inside. It's a small seat yourself type of restaurant with numerous booths and counter seating. There is one big round table at the corner of the restaurant. The wait staff are very friendly. On my first visit I ordered the Italian Omelette from their long list of omelette selections. The Italian is a mixture of Italian sausage, ground beef, onions, bell peppers and jack cheese folded inside a fried egg and topped with spaghetti sauce and more cheese. You have a choice of hash browns or crunchy home fried potatoes, and you get to select the toast of your choice. I chose the crunchy potatoes which were mixed with more onions and more bell peppers and I had wheat toast (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/IxGgjF0US9_-g13XB1BsKg?select=QFHwwNR-A7gSTCU1MBrDnA). The omelette while just a bit greasy was delicious and filling. This morning I went with the French Toast Combo which includes two eggs cooked to order and your choice of bacon or sausage. I had my eggs scrambled and ordered the sausage links. In addition I ordered a side order of hash browns (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/IxGgjF0US9_-g13XB1BsKg?select=KTg-veWPg-W4OLA7KGXieA). The hash browns side order was huge. The shaved skin-on potatoes were fried up nicely with lots of crispy edges. I had it with a little pepper, a little ketchup and a dash of Tabasco. The French Toast was delicious too. Just the powdered sugar was enough to sweeten it, but I poured a little syrup on it anyways. All in all it was another satisfying breakfast. I had a Coke each time to wash down my food. They give you free refills which I passed on this morning because I was too full. I will return to try more menu items soon. read more

Banana cinnamon pancakes with whipped cream. *swoon!* Now that I have your attention... This old school diner is so unassuming - "divey" even. It doesn't look like much, but they serve up some seriously mean eats all between $6-$10. Besides the pancakes, I had the Seafood benedict which was good albeit a bit too saucy. And my husband's Belgian waffle w/ eggs and hot link breakfast was NO joke. I love that the kitchen is completely open. I like being able to see all the cooks at work. The parking lot is small but there is plenty of street parking. Most booths have a window view although the view here isn't necessarily pretty. But it's my hood so I happen to love its rough edges. read more

This is my favorite breakfast place- the Italian omelet with extra sauce, is the best meat bomb is all of the Bay Area. They are super friendly and have counter seats if you want to have an old school experience watching them cook it up. read more

Right off the freeway, great views, and good breakfast...what more could you ask for? My search for breakfast places ended after viewing the pics for this place. They have a variety from omelettes, egg dishes, French toast, and Mexican dishes. I love the amount of cheese they put on their omelettes, yum!! The service was fast and great, we got to watch the cook make our food, also had a great view of the mountains to our right. Big plates, lots of food, be prepared and hungry. read more

Me and my family looked at pictures from this place, looked nice but wasn't. The service was welcoming but a little off. A waitress asked me what i wanted, i replied with "The BLT but with no tomato and add chicken" They responded with Sourdough or- "sourdough" i said. My food came out and had the original bread and had cheese on it?? i specifically said i only wanted lettuce, bacon and chicken. Bacon was over cooked and hard to chew aswell, when i but into the sandwich it was dry and disgusting Fries had no flavor too. read more

This place is literally only a short walk up the hill from my house. So very convenient. The place feels very open because of all the windows, which is great. And the staff is absolutely the nicest. The food is slightly better than most places and it's relatively cheap with lots of food. Can't beat that! And it's a quiet spot. read more

One of the few restaurants within walking distance of my place! Came here with my roomie after picking him up from SFO. I got the Popeye omelette (with added cheese) and traded my hash browns for one of my roommates pancakes. Love when things work out like that! I don't think the prices were THAT cheap to be honest. Standard diner prices and portions. It has a real neighborhood feel to it and there was a constant stream of customers. Service was pleasant and there is plenty of street parking. There is a parking lot outside the restaurant but it looks like you have to drive over the sidewalk to get to it so I'm not sure if you can actually park there. read more

More like 2.5 stars. Went here for a lunch get-together with a good friend. The décor harmonized with the food in mediocrity. I chose the spicy pepper cheeseburger and was pleasantly surprised that fresh jalapeño and serrano peppers smothered the unexpectedly juicy patty. Given that the fries were noticeably frozen product, I reckoned the peppers would contest with the cheap product of the rest of my surroundings (yes, the décor and the food). But this is where the positive aspect of my experience concludes as the bun was cheap, the produce was low-quality (presumably Costco-type product) and the service barely passed. Overall, I wouldn't mind returning to the Bayside Café as the patty was flawlessly prepared and the peppers were fresh and flavorful. Though I certainly would not go out of my way for it. read more

This is BY FAR my favorite breakfast spot in the U.S. I have been coming here for the last 25+ years and the food never disappoints! This is a very special place that mostly locals know about. I no longer live in the Bay Area, however I always make it a point to stop here when I visit. read more

Bayside Cafe is an amazing place. Today was the first time coming here. The ambience reminds me of the old school diners seen on TV. Unlike other brunch places I've eaten at, this place felt more at home. It has a nice slice of hood if you know what I mean. I grew up around Sunnydale and I've always see this restaurant when I'm getting on the 101, taking the T train, 8, or 9 muni. Today I ordered the Eggs Benedict. This dish comes with eggs that were perfectly poached and drizzled with hollandaise over ham and English muffin. Hash browns were on Fleek. The toast was Aight, but when dipped into the hollandaise and the exploded egg yolk, that ordinary toast was bomber than Super Nintendo's Bomber Man. Thanks for reading. -Tiger read more

Could be a good restaurant, but they need a whole new staff... It's run by imbeciles. The cook messes up everyone's order and can't remember to keep cooking... The waitress stands next to him and continuously remind him to make things, as he keeps forgetting different customers orders. It's a complete joke. They need a new cook in a new manager ASAP. This place should shut down if they continue like this! read more

So convenient, this place is right off of 101 at bayshore. The food and service was nothing short of warm. But as far as diner food goes, this place kept me just satisfied, nothing more. Also a sign claimed amazing views, but I don't think I could see anything except mountain. Given they're facing the freeway entrance, not sure if this is the panoramic dining experience. However, being located where it is, I didn't expect many ethnic choices on the menu, so it was a pleasant surprise when I saw Mexican food (incl. what I got --chilaquiles verdes) right next to the good ol' American hamburgers and onion rings. This place is definitely a convenient brunch stop that doesn't have a wait and is decent price-wise, clean-wise, and service-wise. Last note to self: must come back to try the very juicy-looking bacon cheeseburger and fries I saw at the next table over. :D read more

First time here and this place is going to be a regular spot. Friendly people, good coffee, food and a great vibe. Update - came back a second time to give it another try. Corned beef came out of a can. Raw onions in the home fries. Sausages were uncooked on one side. Toast tasted burned. Hash browns were inconsistent. read more

Always friendly. And my relatives rave about their cheeseburgers. I just wish they were open later.

We decided to grab a bite not too far from our friend's house. The diner atmosphere was just what we were looking for. I ordered an omelette & hashbrowns which was good. My Dad felt his sausages patties were too salter toc the point he could not eat it & our friend's hashbrowns were close to burned and his bacon was overcooked. While my meal was acceptable, the food could have been better overall. Service was good. read more

I Love Bayside Cafe they have the best Breakfast in the city. Great service, great views I've been going here for years.

RUN!! DO NOT GO HERE! IT'S TERRIBLE!! Really the only thing this place has going for it is the nice view. The staff was ok but everything they handed us was disgusting. The mustard was covered in crusty mustard. She handed my kid milk and the rim had a chunk of butter on it. The food was just awful. They should be embarrassed to call themselves a restaurant. My kids pancakes were burnt, her eggs looked like they had sat out over night... I thought at least my burger will be good. How can you screw up a burger, right?! Don't worry they can and will! The meat was so gross like they cooked it for maybe like 10 hours. The French fries were over cooked too. I took 2 bites of my burger and couldn't stomach the rest. It was the worst burger that I have ever had and the place is just gross. Pretty sure they should be inspected by the health department. You have been warned. read more

If I could give zero stars I would how do you run a cafe but can't update the times your business is actually open I believe this is the 2nd time I've came here trusting the Yelp information saying that you guys are open I've been craving the breakfast burrito but trust I won't waste my time with you guys again read more
