    Denver omelette
    Stephanie T.

    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.

    Breakfast!

    Great menu selection for breakfast. I just wanted a simple bacon and eggs and it came with fruit and coffee cake too. I got four big strips of crispy bacon, just how I like it. And the fruit bowl had a lot of variety , better than any other restaurant fruit bowl. Coffee cake was amazing too. Great service and nice atmosphere in downtown Vista.

    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

    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.

    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
    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!

    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.

    Pancakes and biscuits and gravy missing the eggs.
    Jarid G.

    I ordered 2 pancakes and some biscuits and gravy to go. the biscuits and gravy is supposed to come with 2 eggs(I ordered scrambled). Got all the way home in Oceanside and discovered that I didn't get any eggs :( pretty sad about it.

    Stopped in for Breakfast on a Tuesday. This location has had a little restaurant serving breakfast…read moreand lunch here for over 50 years. Originally "Allen's Alley." It has changed hands a couple of times over the last 10-15 years. We regularly ate here as part of our Vista rotation for breakfast/lunch, but we had a poor experience a little over a year ago, so this was our first time back to see how things were. I lasted Yelp reviewed in 2018. There still is a small counter for service inside along with four tables for four and one table for two. Six or so outside tables for service also. One table inside occupied and two outside when we entered. We were greeted by a very pleasant wait staff who were extremely helpful and efficient. We had waters, coffee, Tea, very quickly. Coffee was very good with an assortment of creamers to choose from. I ordered a special Omelet with Chorizo and cheese off their chock board. Side of fruit ($2.50 up charge) instead of potatoes along with Rye Toast. The Toast was just one slice of bread. $17. My better half had the pancake combo, two pancakes with two eggs over easy, one sausage patty. $14.50. We enjoyed the food and service. The prices were fair for the portions and quality of what we ordered. We will add Mom's back into our Vista rotation.

But, my east coast hubby found a nice resort so here we are. Can't complain. I am exploiting my birthday princess privileges and insisting on brunch. Their menu was promising, and they didn't disappoint. Really enjoyed my Garden Veggie Hash and side of sausage links. There's a sign that says "Farm Fresh" and my plate lived up to it. My husband ordered Corned Beef Eggs Benedict - yikes, because I'm not a fan of runny eggs. But he was very satisfied. Jared! Come on. Shout out to our server.

I also noticed dogs are allowed on the patio. Our server was friendly, attentive, and helpful with menu questions. My parents both really enjoyed their meals. They ordered the Classic Omelet and the Ensenada Omelet with home style potatoes and were already talking about coming back after the first few bites. I ordered the Mexican Omelet, which was just okay for me. I would have liked the bell peppers to be cooked a little longer, and the dish could have been warmer when it arrived. That said, there were enough positives that I'd definitely come back and try more of the menu. Based on how much my parents enjoyed their food, I think it's worth another visit.
