    We came here for brunch after a morning appointment. I've been to a bill's cafe in San Jose before but I never been to the Fremont location. Food is up to pair as always, delicious and the portion was huge! Definitely shareable if you do not eat a lot. Service was fast and the food came out quickly. We did come here on a week day so it was not too busy and no wait time but I can see this place being pretty busy on weekends as a good breakfast brunch spot!

    I am not much of a Breakfast or Brunch person, but the food here seems always good no matter when i go. I used to get benedicts at Bills, but I seem to feel a need for more protein. BOOM, they also have corned beef hash. Perfect! Service was super nice here but they do get busy. Only hiccup was I asked for a steak to be Medium Rare, but i got Well Done. They were very apologetic and quickly made another for me Medium Rare. Great time! Great food! And the place feels like a funner classic diner. The only thing issue ive ever had here was finding parking. There's some in the next lot, but i think you're technically not supposed to park there.

    We tried the chorizo and steak ranchero omelette. They were both so flavorful and delicious. Service was good and they kept refilling our coffees as we needed. It was busy on a Saturday afternoon, but our wait was only 10 minutes.

    My wife family wanted to come here for breakfast before we headed back home to Los Angeles. When we came, we were lucky to find parking because this place got busy. We had to wait like maybe ten minutes to be seated since we were a big party. My wife got the Mexican Omelette which I shared with her since I was holding our baby. I thought the omelette plate was decent. My wife like it more than I did. The custom service here was great, they were attentive to us. This restaurant has outdoor seating as well if you want to sit outside.

    If you enjoy a hearty American breakfasts or brunches, this is a perfect place for you to checkout. Our overseas friends were craving to dig in large waffles and omelettes( as in the movies). So we swing by Bill's Cafe for a brunch. Bill's is a traditional restaurant with long serving history in Bay Area. The first thing you would notice was the freshly brewed coffee that they poured into your mug. And the foods just rolling in shortly after placing the order. Needless to say, the freshness and efficiency just facilitated the taste buds. We all had the Meat Lovers omelettes, hash browns, and pancakes (exchange w/ toasts). The quality was amazing. In the end, a takeout doggy bag as usual. Our friends were content and were pleased with the restaurant's services and hospitality.

    cornbeef hash, hashbrowns, and over easy egg.

    This location has a good flow of patrons coming through. I went around brunch time during the work week and it had a constant flow of people while I was there. I went alone to read and enjoy some food and the service was really nice. Very attentive, but they also kept me to myself when I was reading. Looked like it was even the manager that was coming by to refill peoples coffee and water. He noticed I didn't get my toast and immediately had them come by and drop it off. At first I was nervous about how the cornbeef hash was going to taste because of how it looks, but it tasted just the way I like. It came with a large amount of hashbrowns. I might ask them next time to make the hashbrowns more crispy though. Either way, this is a great local stop for brunch.

    Great experience. To put yourself on the waitlist they have a QR code that you scan. This opens up the toast app and allows you to check in showing wait time and parties in front of you. We waited only about five minutes. Inside was cute with a home style feeling and a strong pitch roof causing inside Tonga e a unique ceiling shape . Seating available outside and inside and pet friendly. Service was pretty quick. Our server. Julie was fantastic. Extremely friendly fast and knew the menu and suggested items on the menu as well. Food was large portions. Had enough to take home. Food was also delicious and filling. The mimosas were served in a fish bowl style. Definitely will come again .

    Lemon Blueberry Pancakes with home fries (country potatoes) and ham

    Great service and I ordered the blueberry lemon pancakes (new menu item) combo with country potatoes and ham. The very first bite was Amazing! Instant favorite. I will definitely order again.

    Pancakes, and Link Sausage & Eggs
    Dixie L.

    TL;DR: - overpriced American breakfast for okay pancakes, eggs, and sausages. the only thing worthwhile is their unlimited hot black coffee. parking: - it's a medium sized parking lot that is shared with other establishments behind new downtown Fremont. We found parking easily though during weekday lunch. wait time: - zero ambiance: - this location has updated furnishings and is clearly well maintained. service: - prompt and attentive food: [ Worth It] - unlimited hot black coffee: it was bold and didn't taste overly diluted. [Not Worth It] - pancakes, eggs, and sausages: overinflated prices for what should be easy recipes. even though the 2 pancakes were huge they were dense, eggs were oily, and the sausages were mediocre.

    Came here this morning with my husband and my daughter and everything was great. The food was excellent, everything tasted fresh and well made. Our server Paola was amazing, very attentive, kind, and made sure we were taken care of the whole time. Honestly all the staff were great, anyone who walked by checked on us and asked if we needed anything, which I really appreciated. The owner was there and that stood out to me. He was present, walking around, making sure everything was running smooth, and just had a really welcoming energy. You don't always see that, and it made the experience feel even better. The restaurant itself was clean, and I have to mention the bathroom because that matters to me. Usually I have to hold my daughter up because bathrooms can be so dirty, but this one was very clean and well kept. This is only my second time coming here and I honestly can't believe I haven't been more. Definitely recommend and I will absolutely be back.

    Cinnamon Roll
    Kyoko T.

    Food was very good. My friend and I split the Blackstone Benedict and the baked cinnamon roll. The Benedict was very flavorful but the cinnamon roll didn't seem freshly baked and was a little dry. Not enough icing. Luisa our server was very friendly and accommodating.

    My best friends came to visit me for the weekend and I brought them to my favorite hidden gem! We ordered the Mini California Benedict, Mini Little Country , Hash Brown Skillet and of course a Super Michelada. Per usual the food was amazing and service even better! Shout out to Luisa our server for being so sweet and attentive! We even showed her our pictures from our slumber party the night before. Definitely give this spot a try!

    Mini California omelet, added bacon with hash browns
    Donna Mae T.

    Food is always good here, never disappoints. Came on a Tuesday around 11am & was pretty busy due to graduation season but we didnt mind. We didnt have to wait too long for our food and it was delicious. I ordered the mini california omelet and asked to add bacon since its a vegetarian dish. They do have plenty of sitting, maybe in need of more staff for busy days but we were glad to see the manager helping on the floor.

    Freshly squeezed orange juice!

The place has been around forever (Bay St Cafe). Dogs on leash ok. There's plenty of space indoors and outdoors to hang around, but note that it's quite popular, so crowds are regulars here. Apni Mandi grocery store parking lot is in back, but free parking is ok in the plaza if you can find a spot. Although the entrance door of cafe is in front side, you can still enter through back patio door area which is usually unlocked during business hours. Check for weekdays special happy hours 3pm-6pm for 15% off selected items too. I like it. I ordered for early dine-in on a Sunday morning. Positive busy vibes. Chatted with the employees too. Good people. Comfortable inside. I didn't think I would ever end up near the front windows/always so packed with customers inside, but it was perfect for vitamin D sunshine with sun facing east. Love it here. I had a very good and fulfilling breakfast grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough bread plus my regular hot cup drip coffee. Good option good tasting. They really hooked it up with the oily pesto sauce/droppy juicy here. There's a good variety of selections on the menu. Feels great and looks great.

I tried to take pictures of everything, but a lot of customers were sitting at different tables. So I only have a couple of the beautiful mirrors pictured. Hee Their menu is the perfect brunch or lunch environment for breakfast and savory lovers!! Their seasonal ice brew coffee changes, which I love and the current one is this Latin American iced coffee that literally taste like chocolate! The gentleman told me it has a harmony flavor like toffee if you get it hot!! I also love their Jamaica tea if you need something besides coffee and I have yet to try their kombucha, but I definitely need to come here for their jazz night!! The French toast, avocado toast, as well as their mission peak sandwich and Monte Cristo we're all delicious and my aunt and niece love their food and my one year-old Nephew loved the avocado toast!! I've never seen so many slices of avocado on a $13 avocado toast in my life!! They definitely do not skim on the avocado!! I definitely felt like I got my moneys worth!! I love coming here!!

In addition to frozen (frappe) coffee drinks, they have fruit freeze drinks and juices. I was there at lunchtime during a weekday and there were people dining in.

Then my friends needed forks to eat their pancakes but they had run out and they were "still washing them" so spoons it was. The food and coffee was decent. But I think you're really paying for the ambiance here. Though loud from the music and coffee, the place is aesthetically pleasing to the eye with wood and fairy lights. The smoked salmon toast was a little dry and the pickled onions but to sweet for me as a savory bite. The pancakes were great. The coffee was okay. A little underwhelming cold brew. Not sure how well the floors get cleaned since an ant crawled onto our table and my friend looked under the table and there was a very old piece of maybe fruit dried and stuck between the flooring where a pile of ants were swarming. Overall, I think it's a decent spot but has places to work on such as the service, hospitality and cleanliness.
