    A surprisingly good find! It was kind of sketchy finding the location, but trust the GPS. You have to use the sliding door to get in, then open another door to find the main part of the restaurant. The food was so good. I had an omelette and the waffle with ice cream. The service was prompt and very polite.

    So I've had this spot a couple of times already, introduced by the coworkers. Can't tell you anything about the location or any of that (( the pics look good, looks like it has open space, just have had it by the door dash only)) So the main things I've had from here are the onion rings, linguica, and the dam Henkel Breakfast Sandwich....dope like coke. literally. Talk about bang for the buck ESE Henkel sandwich comes fully loaded and it doesn't play.. sausage patty, egg, bacon, ham, top it off with hashbrowns and ayayayiiii nap time comes knocking at the door. pair that with some deep-fried thick onion rings. PINCHE FINITO You just can't say no. I know how it sounds but give it a try for sure won't let you leave hungry.

    I've driven by a couple times for the scenery, then I finally stopped for lunch. It's always so relaxing being by the water and the parked boats of just about any small harbor. Food here was excellent and the service was great! I have never thought to add tomato and avocado to a grilled cheese sandwich. Now after eating it here, I will definitely do it at home. I don't think mine will be as good as Big Daddy Ross'--they use sourdough for the grilled cheese and it is DA BOMB!!! Bathrooms are clean. Wheel chair accessible. Nice ambiance. Friendly staff and excellent customer service with a smile. If you choose to give a thumbs-up or not, I hope you found my review helpful!

    Bacon and Eggs
    Joanne M.

    I asked for grilled onions on my Avocado and Mushroom Hamburger, which was absolutely delicious. We sat near the kitchen and could see the great care the cooks, Jack and Arezki, took in making the food. My husband saw the burger and said the next time we return, he was would order the same hamburger and ask for grilled onions, as well. He had already ordered eggs, bacon and a Belgian waffle. This is his favorite thing to order here and they make great Belgian waffles. You want great breakfast and lunch food, this is THE place to go!!

    Half size classic breakfast
    Alyssa Mae L.

    Came in for lunch while visiting a friend in the Antioch area. Upon arriving, my friends and I were quite surprised to be pulling up to what just looked like a shipyard along the delta. Just keep following your directions and find parking close to the building with sign "cafe" on it and you'll be at the right place! Upon entering, we were told to pick wherever we wanted to sit. We were immediately attended to by 3 different waitresses, which felt super welcoming. I ordered a half size classic breakfast with sausages, a sunny side up egg, sourdough toast, and country potatoes. The toast came out buttered and tasted amazing with jam. The egg, sausage, and potatoes were just as expected - delicious but nothing amazing. I still left full and satisfied. A decent spot and a local business to support!

    I was like where is this place located?, when the GPS was taking me down on this narrow road by the small boat dock. It looks like this place is loved by the people who actually live on their boat by the dock. If there was not for yelp, people who are not familiar with the area would never know about this place. The covid protection was pretty good...hand sanitizer on every table....shield between tables and outdoor dining. The service was efficient and the food came out quick. I ordered a basic breakfast with French toast and my husband waffles. If you are looking for a classic diner with no frill, this place will serve you right!

    1/2 Biscuits & Gravy
    Kawehionapua Y.

    A hidden gem worth checking out. It's a small little spot down the marina and they serve you with a smile. Everyone is friendly, even the young teenagers who work there! My son and I stumbled upon this place one morning when I was not up for cooking breakfast. He enjoyed the French Toast combo - it came with french toast, eggs, and bacon (you can choose ham or sausage if you prefer), he said the bread was nice and soft, and it was soggy from the batter. That's a huge deal for him. I tried the Big Rossy Omelet, it was loaded with ham, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, onions, and cheese - swiss AND cheddar! It was served nice and hot, and each time you cut into the omelet for a bite, the cheese would be oozing out - sooooooooo good! We also split a side of the biscuits and gravy, which was good. The sauce was great, but the biscuit was a bit on the hard and dry side. But still, it had a good taste with the gravy. Anyways, if you're looking for a little family-oriented, hole-in-the-wall spot to check out, I recommend giving them a try.

    California omelette
    Evangelina B.

    This restaurant is definitely off the beaten path and you wouldn't know it was here unless you were looking for it! My friend and I found this place on Yelp for a brunch spot since we were going to be in the area to pick something up. I'm not familiar with this neighborhood so I just punched the address in the the GPS and off we went. When you get to the area it's off a small boat harbour and a somewhat industrial area and the building is somewhat hidden but just follow the road path to the building. When we entered we were sat right away. There seemed to be a full staff, this place can get busy according to one of the workers there. When we came it was moderately busy but they said it's usually more full, maybe because it was a hot day it kept people at bay? I ordered the California omelette with a side pancake. I really like breakfast spots that let you substitute a pancake even for an additional charge. Their coffee was really great as well! All in all the the service was excellent and I enjoyed the food as well! I recommend if you're looking for a great mom and pop breakfast spot!

    Belgian waffle
    Sabrina V.

    This is a hidden mom and pop shop in the bay point..you almost can't tell it exists because it blends in casually with the surrounding shipyard. They're open for indoor and outdoor dining, which is nice. Very small quaint place inside. This is a great cafe for breakfast and I highly recommend. The Belgian waffle with strawberry/banana deserves all the hype it gets. I ordered the chicken pesto omelet with egg whites and it was so good. They don't skimp on the cheese inside or any of the ingredients inside. The cheese pull inside e omelet is satisfying af. My other friends who came with me were also very impressed by the food (they all ordered omelets too). I'm taking out a star for service. Although the servers were really nice, I think they need to hire more staff.. they were really busy on Monday morning... it was kind of hard to just get seated, and they didn't have a lot of tables cleaned. They looked like they needed help, so my only suggestion is to hire some help. Nonetheless, I still recommend this place and the food is on point- 10/10 diner food, better than Diggers

Some time ago I went to Rosie's. Ordered a sandwich, and waited. Waited. Waited. I waited probably about 45 minutes for that sandwich. Finally, it came. It was ... okay. But when I went to the counter to pay, Rosie, I suppose it was, apologized for it taking so long. She then explained that she had to go and pick up her sick kid and that's why I waited. Despite her honesty, I was incredulous that anyone's time, mine for that matter, would be wasted like that. Now I want to add that there were other people there who could have made that cold, unremarkable sandwich - or even let me know she had to leave so I could decide whether to stay or go somewhere else. Nope, they did not. It was just a bunch of dysfunctional chaos. I won't go back. The sandwich was mediocre and not worth all of my time it took to get. Best of luck to Rosie. Hope she gets it together. I am a huge supporter of small business. If the business takes the customer seriously.

When I…read morelooked at the menu for online ordering, I got super confused because they had the Dagwood listed under 3 different sections. 2 of them had a starting price of around $17, while one had a starting price of around $13. I figured I'd go with the $13 one, why not? Then I quickly realized that the ordering system was a whole mess. It gave me the option to customize my sandwich, but some of the required fields didn't make any sense at all. For example, I don't like olives, but it required me to select olives. Then there were 2 separate sections for extra meat and extra ingredients, and those were required too, and both came with additional charges!!! I thought requiring customers to add extra ingredients and charging them extra because of that was totally ridiculous. If I don't want extra meat or extra ingredients, I should be able to leave those options blank and still place my order. But I couldn't proceed to place my order if I didn't select those. I ended up trying to go with the $17 option instead with minimal customization options. I eventually just placed the order, went to the store, and picked it up. As for the sandwich itself, it was pretty standard in size and the quality was decent, but there really wasn't much going on inside. It was basically just bread, meat, and cheese. There weren't even any vegetables! No lettuce whatsoever. I thought that was really weird for a sandwich to be very bare like this, especially given that the final total cost was $19 for a single sandwich from a small deli. I expected a lot more from a sandwich at that price! Again, the sandwich wasn't bad, but I didn't think it was worth $19.
