ALWAYS LOVE IT THE BEST breakfast - hasbrowns and gravy and GOOD vibes! All the time! read more

I've been coming to Cowgirl Cafe for over 6 years, and I always order the same thing -- a side of waffles, Everything Under the Sink, and some fruit. I've never been disappointed with the food or the service. The staff is always so pleasant and friendly, especially Gabriel and Samuel. When I first met them, I was a little intimidated, but I quickly realized they are two of the sweetest and friendliest young men I've ever met. The girls are also incredibly kind and welcoming, and I truly miss some of the past employees as well they were wonderful too. This place gets very busy, but the team is always on top of everything. I've never had any complaints, from the servers to the cooks. The boss is amazing and it really shows in how well the whole cafe is run. Great job to the entire Cowgirl Cafe team -- thank you all for the great service and consistency over the years! read more

The sausage gravy & biscuits..... Wait staff are friendly & surprisingly engaging. Get 'em.... Para llevar! read more

I've visited the Cowgirl Cafe several times while visiting Nipomo. We are usually seated as soon as we walk in, if not after a very short wait. The staff seem young, but they are all attentive and friendly. My aunt picked a few items and our server then pointed out a listing that had everything included, and was less expensive than ala carte. Thank you! Maybe it's because I'm always there on a Saturday morning, but it's a relaxed atmosphere and the other guests seem to be enjoying themselves too. Easily a favorite. read more

You walk into Cowgirl Cafe a visitor. You leave a local. It's a local dive in Nipomo where everyone knows your name and they serve hearty tasty food with large portions. The diner is decorated with various cowboy memorabilia which contributes of the homey local dive ambiance. My wife and I shared a half platter of biscuits and gravy and a short stack with eggs and sausages. Leslie took really good care of us and made sure my coffee stayed full. The biscuits and gravy reminds me of childhood, fishing with my uncle and getting biscuits and gravy and coffee afterwards. For that, 5 stars read more

Cowgirl Cafe - Biscuits and gravy, eggs, sausage, short stack pancakes - Bakeries Near Me - Nipomo, California

Pretty much a regular at this place while visiting family, at cowgirl cafe every item on the menu is a great option for your breakfast (haven't tried anything else except breakfast.. yet..) The omelets are very good, always a good choice no matter which one. The food is plenty, the coffee flowing and the service is truly warm and makes you feel welcome at any time. The restaurant is pretty unique with the branding marks in the walls, an interesting setup of rustic far west doors for the bathrooms and many more interesting items on and off the walls. Go check it out! read more

Seated immediately, Our server was prompt and friendly . It didn't have a very big dining area as they seem to have a select hour of service 6am-2pm. With breakfast on our minds we didn't hold back! Our meals were bountiful to say the least!! Such a great place to grab some biscuits and Gravy! The portions were unbelievable and more than could be finished. To recap, find this place off Taft Road, you won't be disappointed but bring your appetite!! read more

Plenty of parking , Ashley welcomed me in with a friendly smile and sat me down . The coffee was hot and I can appreciate a heavy cup that will keep my coffee warm longer . I really enjoyed the Interior decor of a western theme. Even the patrons were friendly. I ordered the sausage and eggs with home fries and upgraded my toast to biscuits and gravy for another $ 1 and a large milk. The sausage has great flavor the eggs were cooked to perfection and the home fries were hot and the bell pepper and onion really made them delicious. The bisques and gravy were good . This whole wonderful food flavored experience was topped off by Ashley's excellent service, her friendliness and smile are contagious. I can highly recommend this place , there are a few of them on the central coast , I can't wait to come back ! read more

Food was delicious! We had breakfast. Omelette and biscuit for me and linguisa with scrambled eggs for my husband. Cute place and very friendly staff. A little out of the way but worth it. read more

Haven't been here in 10+ years. Was nice to try it again, even though it was 7:00 in the morning. It seems like there are plenty of regulars who patron this place, making it a home away from home for some. Service was fine, no major complaints. Nothing exquisite....just...fine. Food was very good. Served hot and fresh. It has a lot of fun interior decor that really sets this place up like you're in an old-fashion saloon-type environment, but with plenty of trinkets that add to the pleasant atmosphere. read more

Food is always delicious and big portions too! Highly recommend the biscuits and gravy

Food was absolutely delicious. The service was excellent. Ambiance was fun and relaxed

Service is wonderful. Always love to come in to visit with everyone. Best hometown feel you can get.

This place is getting a one star for the fact that they're unprofessionalism we came in as a group of eight to have a wonderful breakfast and towards the end we weren't even finished and the Manager and the staff were asking us to leave so they could see other guests we were only there for maybe 30 to 40 minutes at the most I would not recommend this place if you want to spend time visiting with your family and enjoying your meal without being kicked out before you finished read more

Great place to have breakfast. We loved the rustic western style of all the decor inside. Service and food was also very good. We were just passing through and found this place online before visiting a Church nearby. If we ever come back this way, we will for sure have some of the excellent food they service here again. You guys rock. read more

Chili Verde was excellent nice taste hashbrowns are the best. My friend had corn beef hash. He didn't like it and sent it back. The waitress was so kind and fixed it right away. Definitely a local place read more

Great food and service. I wish they were open longer. The parking isn't the best but who cares, you're here to eat. Great for breakfast

The food was delicious and full of flavor. Highly recommend!" Good friendly service too.

I have been to Cowgirl Cafe in Nipomo dozens of times. Each time, I have received an excellent meal. This visit was a bit more special than the previous dozens because I haven't been there in years. You see, I left Nipomo in 2012 and had only been back to Cowgirl a couple of times since. Today's breakfast was special because of the warm, friendly greeting we got as soon as we walked in the door. It was special because of the window seating. It was special because of the excellent personable and quite competent service we received. And, of course, it was special because the food was every bit as good, if not better, than what we remember having on previous visits. The eggs were prepared perfectly, the chicken fried steak was truly fork tender with a superb, perfectly seasoned crust. The biscuit, so big it occupied a separate plate, was tender and hot. The potatoes were still the best of any restaurant I have visited for breakfast and the gravy. Oh, the gravy - quite simply the best sausage gravy I've ever tasted. In short, my breakfast was a five star experience from beginning to end. Way to go Cowgirl Cafe. read more

Food is superb, service is excellent, and price is reasonable. Western/Cowboy atmosphere. Many regulars.

If you just need to throw something in you, this place works fine. Don't expect anything too special. I have friends that live around the corner and wanted to hit something before getting back on the road... and don't get excited about anything "gravy related.' It's disappointing... The service was pretty quick, good, the table was big, and the bathroom was clean. There's times when nothing more is necessary and that was it... The food here primed the pump for the food coming later in San Luis Obispo... And so it goes! -G read more

Cowgirl Cafe... Our go to spot. Our first thought for a weekend breakfast. The best home style food and service. We feel like family everytime we walk in. We've been coming for years, and absolutely feel like home. Leslie, our server every time, feels like a family member to us! So kind. So generous. So hilarious! We love her, and we love Cowgirl Cafe! If your ever in the area, Cowgirl Cafe is a staple restaurant in the Nipomo community. I'd give them 10 stars if I could! read more

We were denied access to the restaurant because we had a service animal with us even though we provided all necessary ID and certification. The manager lady told us "you need a vest for your animal according to rules" - that's not a real rule. Y'all need to better educate yourselves. read more

My family and I tried Cowgirl Cafe in Nipomo for our very first time and it did not disappoint! The food was delicious and the servings were just spot on. I will say my least favorite was the sausage gravy, it was a bit cold other than that really good food. Our server was nice and would come around to check on us. I loved the area where the restaurant is, window views to the nice weather that Nipomo offers. I would definitely be coming back and I also recommend you do to if you haven't done so already! read more

Absolutely love this place!!!! The country fried chicken is to die for. Servers are great check up on you often but not too much where it's annoying read more

First service was great. I read a review that said cornbeef hash was amazing. It wasn't it was from a can pressed down and fried. Potatoes were brown and over cooked peppers and onion cooked down as well to point u can't see or taste. Poached egg was perfect. read more

Great steak. Great home fries. Great service. Twice the breakfast CJs ever had. Awesome blossom. read more

Great for Breakfast and Lunch. Always full but they seat you quickly. Been there many times and look forward to going again.

I'm a bit of a CFS snob. Just to get that out of the way. If you like deep fried CFS like fried chicken, then you'll love their CFS. I prefer hand breaded pan fried. I love their gravy. Their home fries remind me of McClintocks and that's a compliment!! Portions were great. read more

This is a great local breakfast place that will not disappoint but also not blow you away. The service is friendly and genuine but the seating is right next to an intersection so don't expect a phenomenal view. The giddy-up breakfast plate was a pretty standard breakfast except for the delicious maple sausage and the upgrade to a biscuit and gravy- that is a must have. But I definitely could've passed on the Canadian bacon. The breakfast burrito was a little pricier than preferred but it is huge and could definitely feed 2 mouths. read more

I'm not sure what happened to this restaurant. Years ago it was my dads and my favorite place. This last time I went the service was very bad. It was an hour before closing. The place was empty. The server refused to let my friend and I sit at a larger table. They shoved us in the back my the cooking crew. We asked to move up and they said no, they tables are for bigger parties. Lol ok. I'll leave all the tables for them! Our food barely fit in the table and was not good. read more

This is my second time visiting this cafe. The cowgirl theme is cute and the cafe is crowded, however the ambiance contributes to the portion of food given. I thought the first time was just a fluke. The food couldn't be this good all the time. This time I ordered the seafood omelette with hollandaise sauce. It was delicious! My husband ordered the chili verde omelette and the meat was cooked to perfection. The flavors for both dishes worked really well together. The service was excellent, too! Our coffee wasn't below halfway until we finished our meal. We will definitely keep this on our list of places to visit again! read more
