    It took me a little while to decide writing this review as I never like to give 1 star, especially to my local businesses. However, my experience at curbside was terrible. I simply can't comprehend how they get 4 stars. Service: friendly but slow. It took a while to get someone to our table and the ordering is fairly slow. Server wasn't very attentive during the rest of the meal. we only had 1 coffee refill offered. Coffee: $3 espresso is bitter to the bone. 0 stars. Food - Chicken sandwich: thin slice of chicken with brie but the caramelized red onions were so sour...it destroyed everything. I absolutely didn't like it. - the worst was the Greek salad. cheap mixed green (including cores/root), literally 1 tablespoon of feta cheese sprinkled over it, 4 cherry tomatoes, maybe 8 olives cut in half, a slice of bread and that's it, for $17. They should be ashamed to serve this. This is inadmissible for the price. Not recommended.

    Eggs and Bacon breakfast with hashbrowns and toast
    Kirsten K.

    Great place! Busy inside and out but didn't have to wait for a table. Great breakfast included eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, toast and an omelette with ham and fresh fruit. The fruit was a large variety, fresh fruit and coffee cake. The fresh fruit included kiwi, banana, grapes, blueberries, strawberries, mango, plum and melon. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend! Friendly staff and happy waitress!! Fantastic experience!

    Fruit bowl

    The cheeseburger made with sirloin and served open-faced with fries is very good, but I have a few minor complaints. It's assembled with nothing on either side of the bun, and the only condiment automatically provided is ketchup. If served naked there should be, without asking, sides of mayo, mustard, and ideally a classic burger sauce. The lettuce was totally limp and had to be discarded. The fries, presumably poured from a frozen bag into the fryer, were mostly limp. Next time I'd asked for them to be fried a bit longer than usual. The fruit bowl was simply superb.

    Denver omelette

    I've been past this place many times walking my pups and finally got a chance to eat here. There's plenty of street parking around but no parking lot for them specifically. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The inside chairs are too high and the tables are too low. I'm a small person and from crossing my legs, my leg was hitting the top of the table but yet I couldn't put my feet on the ground. I also felt like I was leaning down to eat. It was definitely not comfortable to sit like this. I got the Denver omelette with home potatoes and crumb cake. The omelette had very large chunks of ham and onions in it. It also, which I never say, had too much cheese. Some bites were just a bite of cheese. Other than that, it was kind of flavorless. The potatoes were also cut very large and flavorless as well. The crumb cake was really good tho. The staff were also really nice and helpful.

    Love the little outdoor patio

    This is a cute little community style breakfast place with a traditional mom and pop style vibe! We were greeted right away! Table for two offered inside or outside. We chose outside! I got an iced Carmel coffee! It's like heaven in a glass! Honestly haven't even gotten the food yet and so impressed! We are new regulars now living about a mile away. The server was so kind and professional!

    Cinnamon roll

    Stopped in for breakfast with my family chose the patio cause the weather was nice plus the dog friendly option. Ended up going with cinnamon roll and loaded croissant. I enjoyed the cinnamon and the top being covered down with nuts. Little dry in some parts but the better over the top assisted with that. The croissant came out fresh with fluffy eggs will definitely be back.

    If you're ever visiting San Diego and happen to drive through the city of Vista, this little Cafe is a huge surprise. Everything on the menu looks delicious. I had the Greek omelette which had Kalamata olives, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, onions, and spinach. It was delicious. It came with a side of hashbrowns and your choice of toast. I also ordered the cinnamon bun, which takes up a large to go box. There was no way I could eat it there. It was meant to take home. They also have crabcakes benedict and other types of eggs benedict, Belgian waffles pancakes lots of items for breakfast and lunch. Service was great. They kept my coffee cup filled and hot ambience is very nostalgic. The tables look like they're part of the game Monopoly. There are paintings by various artists adjoining the walls and they are for sale. Apparently this is a favorite for the locals that lived there. I recommend coming to check it out.

    Still busy two years later. Came in for breakfast on a Saturday. Service was good and the food good. They give you enough food that my friend and I split an omelet and potato's. My daughter got the gravy and biscuits and wasn't crazy about it. She said the flavor was off. We are from the south so we hard to please when it comes to our gravy and biscuits. She enjoyed the rest of her meal. I also tried the cinnamon cake that my daughter said everyone raves about. Sorry, it was just okay. I must have a fussy taste buds today. The restaurant is cozy. Will come back again next year. Jan 2026

    Curbside Cafe is a local gem. Housed in downtown Vista off Michigan. Plenty of parking around. I really like how simple, traditional, and sweet this place is. Reminds me of going to a loved grandmothers house, whose friends and family tend to gather at because she's so welcoming and has delicious food. I noticed Sandy being so kind and helpful to customers just arriving, even helping to bring a high chair or to help carry things for moms (myself included). Seems like there are loyal and regular customers as the staff will have their orders memorized. I love the Monte Cristo. There's few places that make it right and this place does. I got a side of scrambled eggs for the baby as well. There's definitely other items to try such as their famous cinnamon roll. They have a full coffee bar, soft drinks, etc. Definitely one to try at least once. Great service and selection of food. Also, they support the local arts as several paintings are on the walls for sale

    STEAK and EGGS with hash browns and sourdough toast -- you gotta be quick if you want a photo of Wyatt's breakfast
    Scott T.

    CURBSIDE CAFE is a solid breakfast place. the lunch menu's available all day but it's difficult for me to get excited about a burger and fries at 8 am. I'm more of a cold, leftover pizza in the morning kinda guy. my SMOKED SALMON and EVERYTHING BAGEL was perfect. the bagel was nicely toasted, the salmon was plentiful, and the tomato was ripe. need to dial down the mandolin for the red onions. perfect thickness for a hardy cheeseburger but a bit overwhelming for a salmon bagel. had to beat the capers off with a stick. whoever built the plate, really, really likes capers. the wife unit's VEGETABLE OMELET (cheese, spinach, broccoli, bell pepper, and onions) was also excellent. hash browns were nice and crispy (not a fan of hash beiges) and weren't cooked so far ahead they turned into potato jerky. the boy ordered the NEW YORK STEAK and EGGS. when you're a Yelper, you gotta be quick when dining with a nineteen-year-boy if you want a photo. also, always a good idea to stay a safe distance from his plate or risk losing a finger. ate with one of the wife's brothers and his wife, one of her sisters, and her mom. can't beat good food and a surplus of breakfast drama to start your day.

    Cute breakfast and brunch spot in vista village. The food is good and prices are very reasonable. Definitely a local spot! Service was great. Love it.

    Cinnamon roll
    Alice H.

    Nice local breakfast spot with interesting art (that's for sale) to look at while you have your meal. The person who greeted us and sat us did not smile and seemed to be having a rough morning but the rest of the staff were friendly and after our meal one of them offered a small toy to our son (he got a glow stick) food was good. The cinnamon roll was a gigantic! We shared it amongst the three of us and still had leftover!

    Crab Cake Benedict
    Alyssa T.

    A great place to get comfort food for breakfast in the Vista area. There is street parking and a couple of small parking lots near the restaurant. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. All of their staff is extremely friendly and made us feel very welcomed. We made it early enough to be offered the early bird special menu. It's a pretty good deal, but the regular prices aren't too bad either. The food came out fairly quickly and they're very generous with the portion sizes. The food was of good quality and had good flavor. They have a fairly big variety on their menu and we enjoyed the food that we ordered.

    Great food, friendly staff and a mellow vibe. The hashbrowns were the best I've had. Omelet was cooked perfectly and the veggies were fresh.
