No fluff, just what happened today: my husband and I came to this place after a lady recommended it on Camp Pendleton. I am black, my husband is Latino. We walked in and the place was almost dead. A woman tells us to take a booth anywhere near the back--I quickly wonder why because I see 3 free booths right there, 2 of which are clean, but still we just head to the back. A server who seems to be working register comes the moment we sit down and asks "what can I get you to drink?" even though we have no menu, don't know what they have, and I just say "I'll take water for now" but changed it to lemonade once I knew they had it. About 5-10 mins later, my husband and I see this awesome pickup truck park in the space next to our car through the window. A young white couple gets out and comes in. The same lady that directed us to the back 10 minutes ago sits them right at the front with the few other customers that are there. The other lady quickly comes to their table and asks for their drinks; by now we've been ready to order for like 10 mins but not her, the lady who told us where to sit, or the other server just walking around came to ask us anything. The final straw... I saw the same server that was taking drink orders walk over to the young white couple and take their order even though we've been clearly ready, menus closed for almost 15 minutes by now and there for about 10 mins before this couple. Once I saw that, I put my drink down, told my husband "let's go" and we walked right past her and right outta the place--no I didn't pay for those damn lemonades. That's just what happened... don't wanna scream racism or homophobia, I'm just saying what happened with 0 fluff or exaggeration. read more

Lots of parking and old school coffee shop ambiance. Just good old American style offerings. I've been here a handful of times but never thought to write about my experience. I really enjoyed the roast beef club sandwich the last time I was here. My son came to visit and we ordered breakfast. Chicken fried steak Fallbrook omelets w/biscuit and gravy Cinnamon bun French toast No regrets with what was ordered. Coffee was decent too. Yes, I'll be back. read more

Go hungry for some amazing home cooked tasting amazingness. I live in Oceanside, but it's worth the drive to enjoy their breakfasts. Didn't forget to try the homemade biscuits! Hidden gem! read more

Stopped by before hitting the road back home with my family from a 2 night stay at Splitrock Mountain. I liked the outside appearance of a classic diner. I was pretty hungry myself. I ordered the 2 by 2 I believe it was called, 2 eggs 2 pancakes and sausage. I ordered a side of hash and a side of toast. It was delicious and hit the spot. Headed back home with a happy tummy. read more

This cafe never ceases to amaze me they always have good food good service. It's down home cooking. Their prices are reasonable their menu is very extensive. The feeling you get when you walk in the door is an old-fashioned cafe. read more

Third, but last, time eating at this cafe. Two previous meals were terrible; one breakfast, one dinner. This third time (a charm?) was breakfast again. I can usually tell a good restaurant by its signature dish. For example, when I eat Italian, I always order the lasagna first. If they can't cook that dish, I never go back. My first time at Fallbrook cafe was dinner; I had meatloaf; simple, basic. They ruined it. Probably came from a can. Yuck! Second time was breakfast, it was so mediocre I can't recall what I had, but do recall it was uninspiring/unmemorable. This time (my last)), was breakfast again. I was in a Mexican food mood, so I there's something very easy to make; a bacon, ham and sausage burrito, with cheese and potatoes. Why is it white people think they can make decent Mexican food; and why did I even try it. Yuck!!!! And their salsa was worse still. Never again! Don't waste you money; ever! read more

Stumbled on this little gem while driving around Fallbrook. It is a spot where you can tell all the local hang out. Service was fast and food was good. It reminded me of the diner Alice worked in on the 1970's mid 80's television show. Small town flavor, relaxed atmosphere and good friends. read more

This was a great spot right down the street from where we delivered. Iced Coffee was great, my husband loved his breakfast burrito, my pancakes were great. Lots of locals, very friendly and clean well lit place to go. I wish this place was close to where we live as we would definitely be patrons!! read more

Ordered breakfast this morning and there was a blonde hair in our food. No one in my house has blonde hair. Won't be eating here again. The other good without hair was decent and if not for the hair we would've came back again. read more

Awesome cafe with great home-style cooking! Breakfast served all day, great sandwiches and awesome service by a friendly staff. Cannot go wrong here. read more

Best breakfast around! Don't miss the chicken fried steak. Feels like you are stepping back in time. Definitely a great place to try!

It was overall very tasty. I'd get the same pancakes again if I'm ever back. The experience here was okay. Server and staff were friendly, however, we waited longer than people who came after us and were unsure why when we both had the same amount of people and a baby. Otherwise, my food was the best out of the group. The others got an omelette and Benedict (english muffin was burnt). read more

This was a great stop for some yummy smoothies with friends! I got a chocolate and peanut butter one, and my husband got a summery one with sorbet in it. They have great healthy options, and slightly less healthy options, too It's also very cute inside! My only critique is the seating is minimal and not the most comfortable for sitting in very long. read more

No complaints. I ordered a sausage and cheese omelette with a side of bacon. Food, service, and ambiance. All was good.

Sadly Fallbrook Cafe is no longer a place to dine for me. Salad was some lettuce on a plate , half a tuna sandwich, waitress did not ask type of bread , toasted etc. No longer that cool friendly diner. read more

People are friendly but they always seem short staffed... longer wait times and food is a bit pricy for standard cafe food.

A Very cute local spot for traditional breakfast items. I think I even saw a newspaper in front. Don't come in with high expectations though.... We're talking very old school and it must be a local go to because there was a line. Generous portions Friendly service Huge Menu Selection The lemon cake bar was the best thing ;) read more

Supper yummy if you're looking for diner food in Fallbrook! We came for breakfast recently and it was just what I expected - fast, tasty, and a little greasy (in a good way). We were seated quicky, the service was great, and I'll definitely be returning again. They also have weekly fish fry and prime rib dinners that we'll be checking out as well! read more

Dank dank everytime- they waitresses are super sweeet too :) Definitely a solid family breakfast spot! read more

Their food is very good, and the people and service are great! Especially brealfast!

Excellent food and lots of it. Definitely a home cooked experience. We've pretty much had everything here. Fish and chips are good, salads are great. Roast beef anything is super delish. Breakfasts are the bomb! read more

I wish my food matched the good service but it was seriously the worst omelette I've ever had. They put Swiss cheese instead of Colby Jack on my Ortega chili omelette. The eggs tasted like powdered eggs and the biscuit and gravy was more like a rock with gravy. The hash browns were way over cooked and almost burnt. The only thing that saved it was the friendly service! Not sure if I'll be back. read more

One of my favorite cafes. My family and I come here all the time. My mom loves the French dip. My sister always gets them tuna sandwich. I like their hamburgers. The place is always clean. The staff is friendly and always check on us during our meal. read more

The food was fantastic and the service phenomenal. I has their soup of the day Navy Bean, delish.

This is slowly becoming one of my favorite places to come and have a nice meal with my family in a less formal setting than most sit down places. I can already tell from the friendly staff that this will likely become one of those local establishments where sooner or later I won't even need a menu because the staff will know our orders so well from our frequenting the business. The food is delicious and reasonably priced - especially for a cafe that serves a variety of foods in a small community. I have already begun to meet some of the locals that frequent the restaurant, and they have been so welcoming to us as we have moved from Oceanside to Fallbrook. I am happy with these smaller local businesses and the fact that they're so community oriented...I am excited to get to know even more of the local businesses and truly immerse ourselves in our new community so far I absolutely adore the small town vibe and quiet of Fallbrook and I am happy we chose this house to settle down in...I am hopeful that I will meet more people and make some connections to get involved in volunteerism as well. I am very happy with our home choice, and I look forward to many years in this lovely quiet community. read more

We were looking for nice spot to meet up with friends and have some breakfast. Fallbrook Cafe was the perfect spot for some of us who live in Temecula and other a who live in Oceanside. I loved their atmosphere and the location of their cafe. The food was delicious especially their signature dishes. We were seated right away and were served our coffee in no time. Overall the service was excellent. The waitresses are friendly and helpful. I would recommend to anyone passing by this town or meeting up between towns. read more

Excellent food and service! We had a party of 20 people on the patio and can't say enough about the staff and the food. Would definitely go back! read more

I loved eating here!! It's a sweet little place. Plenty of parking Good prices Friendly service Clean Like mommas cooking I'm from Louisiana so I'm particular about my biscuit and gravy. I've had it all my life. It was perfect. I added salt and pepper and went to town. They had vegetarian options and plenty of omelet and unique pancake options. There is an outside seating area. Staff was well groomed and polite Food was delicious 10/10 would recommend Take your family Take your friend out for coffee and a chat My husband and I will be going back! read more

Good Coffee and good service. Nice location and ambiance. Easy parking and great location in town.

I am not the biggest fan of Cafe food so I'm going off of my boyfriends die hard love for their food to say it is amazing! But I can say their service is fast, they are great people working here and I am never leaving disappointed! If I want to put a smile on my man's face in two words it would be "Fallbrook Cafe?" read more

"Grilled cheese" was $10 for a couple of unmelted Kraft Singles inside toast, no thank you. Also I ordered the Grilled Cheese with Tomatoes but I was given a grilled cheese with ham, and no tomatoes in sight. Long wait, messy dirty waiting area. Non existent ambiance. Nothing about this place I would recommend. read more

Great service, food and the ambiance of a back home dinner. The serving sizes are huge and the staff had been more than friendly each time I've stopped by. While I don't work or live in Fallbrook, when I drive through and need lunch or breakfast this place always delivers. read more

Excellent food, especially the hashbrowns which were exactly like they should be at a diner! No nonsense service, and a great menu. Highly recommend. read more

Mom and I came here after our hair appointment and also picked up some items to take home for the family. I enjoyed my Fallbrook Omelet and mom enjoyed her Link sausage and eggs. I will say the OBrien potato's did arrive a bit cold and the biscuit in the biscuits and gravy was a bit tough, but the gravy was very tasty. We also ordered some items to take home to the family. We ordered the chicken fried steak with gravy, eggs and sausage, along with an ABC (Avocado, Bacon and Cheese). When I arrived home, I noticed I was given a BLT instead of the ABC. My sister said it was still delicious, but it was not what we ordered. Overall the food was good and the coffee was hot and will definitely be back. read more

Great diner! We were traveling and just wanted a place like this to have lunch. Many options and the food/service was great. I love local places like this! read more

My wife, father in law, and myself went here for breakfast to try it out finally. Though the food was basic dinner food, what i saw our server do was extremely unsanitary. On multiple times i witnessed her grab payments from paying guests, some cash, then go and grab toast and bagels from the toaster and hold them to butter them without washing or sanitizing her hands. No thank you. That alone is a no go for us. If i didn't see it i would have never have known. Pass. read more
