If you find yourself in downtown Santa Rosa craving a hearty, classic breakfast, this is the place to go. My wife and I woke up hungry and discovered this old-school diner just down the street from where we were staying. It's the kind of spot that feels like a local favorite--a place where regulars gather for a good, satisfying breakfast. Walking through the door feels like stepping back in time, and that's part of its charm. I ordered the Breakfast Burrito, while my wife chose the First Class Breakfast with bacon, potatoes, eggs, and a side of toast. Our food arrived in a timely manner, and everything was hot, fresh, and exactly what we were looking for. The portions were generous, the flavors hit the spot, and it was the perfect way to start the day. Sometimes you don't need fancy or trendy just a solid breakfast done right. We left with happy stomachs and were ready to take on the rest of the day. read more

I ventured into downtown Santa Rosa and revisited this hidden gem that I hadn't been to in many years. I ordered the fresh corned beef hash and substituted bacon for the eggs. Everything arrived cooked well done, just as requested. The bread was phenomenal, and the bacon was thick, crispy, and full of flavor. I was a little disappointed with the corned beef hash and potatoes, as they tasted like they may have been previously frozen or soaked, which can sometimes happen when restaurants are trying to manage food costs while keeping ingredients available and fresh. Overall, the portions were generous, the service was good, and the value for the price was excellent. Despite a few minor disappointments, it was a satisfying meal, and I'd definitely consider returning. The place hadn't changed much - but thats wonderful- just how i remembered. Many art pieces on wall which added to the charm. The wooden chairs and tables are a plus read more

Went here for breakfast. It's a cozy local breakfast and lunch spot with a rustic, vintage diner feel that gives a lot of character. The food was good. I'm not usually a breakfast person and generally prefer asian breakfasts but I enjoyed the omelette I ordered. The service was friendly and attentive as well. Overall, it was a good experience. I recommend this place if you're looking for a classic American breakfast. read more

I honestly feel like I was duped by the reviews of this place. I didn't know they meant the name "Omelette Express" so literally. I dined here early on a Monday. The place was real empty, but welcoming enough. I ordered the #2 omelette with ham onion bell pepper and cheese. Not even 5 minutes later they were bringing me my food. I was immediately turned off by this, but thought maybe it's cause they're not busy. Nope, my potatoes were cold, dry and completely flavorless like they had been cooked hours ago and sitting somewhere. The omelette was PACKED with cheese and not in the good way. The vegetables were completely raw, not even an attempt was made to sauté them. I honestly couldn't even get myself to eat it all. The best part of the meal had to be the sourdough toast. For the quality of the food I received I way overpaid. The service was fine. I really wish I would have addressed the issues with my meal, but I'm not sure the outcome would have changed how I felt about the food. With that being said I wouldn't go back nor would I recommend to any friends/family. read more

Kind staff, cute environment, and amazing food! I think the owners are husband and wife, and the restaurant is decorated with their memorabilia. Don is apparently an honorary citizen of Korea! We were in town for a wedding and we stopped by twice! My fiancé loved their corned beef hash and ordered it both days. House potatoes are well seasoned with the perfect crisp! Pancakes were cooked to golden perfection with crispy edges. I can't get over their linked sausages. Will definitely drop by if we are ever in the area again! read more

It was a soggy Sunday morning in Santa Rosa. I was incredibly hungry and wanted a good diner meal. Omlette Express seemed small and sleepy from the outside. Once we walked in, we caught the live action kitchen and the amazing smells. We were seated immediately. I grabbed menus from the host stand and got to business. I ordered the mushroom omelette with a side biscuit and breakfast potatoes. He ordered the California Benedict. House coffee was refilled often. The hot chocolate made me feel like a kid again. The house salsa served with breakfast was incredible. Definitely ask for it. We both cleaned our plates. I really enjoyed watching the action in the open kitchen. People were coming and going. The restrooms are tucked in the back corner of the restaurant. I had no idea the restaurant opened up in the connecting room. Every seat was filled and I know why. This is a fantastic breakfast spot. read more

Looking for a great breakfast place? Then look no more. Hop on the Smart train and exit at Railroad square in Santa Rosa. Surrounded by antique stores and other shops, you will find this quirky breakfast/lunch spot. My husband is always looking for the best biscuits and gravy and he claims he found it here! Upon walking in, you will see high up on the walls, the front grills on some great vintage cars. The smaller room on the right is much quieter than the larger room. If you can grab a window table it's fun to watch the passerby's. I ordered a standard eggs, potatoes and bacon. The country potatoes are perfectly cooked, crunchy on the outside and soft and creamy inside. They have an extensive breakfast and lunch menu. $30 for breakfast for 2, including 2 juices. Great service, great food and a fun spot for breakfast or lunch. read more

Terrific experience with a kind waitress, was lucky enough to meet don taylor the owner who has dozens of chopped jaguars and other vintage cars hanging up on the walls, he ended up telling me to checkout his current ride down the road after enjoying Sourdough French Toast , sausages , a $5 mimosa , orange juice and custom omelette. Sadly, not a huge fan of the French toast. read more

Tucked away in Santa Rosa is a delicious destination for egg lovers! Omelette express provides huge omelettes and sides for your taste buds! The atmosphere of this place is very homely and I do enjoy the wall decor of vintage cars. I'm definitely zapped back to a simpler time when I'm there, and I'm taken aback with how they make their food. This is a must try, I do recommend trying the sprouts omelette when you're there! Service is always there with a friendly smile, and they're quick to serve the food. This is a nice place to bring the family! read more

Omelette Express lives up to its name. So many types of hearty and packed omelettes and they come out quick. We are regulars and love that the food is always delicious. The only reason why I don't give 5 stars is because the potatoes are ok, nothing great. Overall, yummy choice! read more

I took my daughter here for our monthly breakfast date. We always try to choose a place we have not yet tried. The service was great and the food was delicious. There are a lot of menu items to choose from, so you'll need to visit again. The restaurant is decorated with the actual front portions of cars hanging on the walls. Pretty cool in my opinion. Bring some change for the parking meters or you can use a credit card. read more

We stopped in for a late breakfast from an e-bike ride. Wow wow wow the grilled chicken sandwich was huge. Definitely get what you pay for. Very tasty. I thought it was pricey for the more simple a la carte items. Eggs, bacon and English muffin about $16. It was standard taste. If you like your toast dry let your server know because it will come out with butter. Service was great. read more

Homemade salsa, local Franco American sourdough and local coffee. The minute we walked in we were warmly greeted and sat right away. Our server Jess was on top of it from the get go, offering up awesome recommendations when we asked. We has the #7 Omelete and the huevos rancheros. Both were delicious, cooked perfectly. The breakfast potatoes were seasoned nicely,and had a great texture to them. The star of the show was the sourdough bread. We loved it so much we asked Jess and she directed us to the bakery that makes it, Franco American, just a couple of blocks away. We also loved the salsa, wish they sold it by the pint. All in all, a warm and inviting restaurant that is doing it right. Great food and amazing customer service. We will be back! read more

Ate here since the place across the street was packed. We got seated right away, and our friendly server took our order quickly. There's plenty of seating inside since it's split into two sections, and I love the fun decor on the ceilings and walls--car bumpers and all kinds of stuff. I ordered the anchovy and spinach omelette with wheat sourdough and potatoes. It was delicious, but definitely not for everyone (my friend wasn't a fan, lol). read more

I was at the Windsor restaurant last Sunday. We were a total of 9 guest. We had to ask to have our table washed after the young man had already washed it, because it was still filthy. One of my firend's eggs were not properly cooked and had to be retunred, but the worst thing was 6 people in our party got served and completely finished their meals and were ready to leave before the other 3 of us got any food. read more

Super cute restaurant with 50's feel. Love the kitchy vibe. Lots of old car parts on the wall. They kept a lot of the original building. I was greeted immediately and didn't have to wait to be seated. All of the tables are unique, with no matching chairs. I ordered the Sonoma omelet with gluten-free toast. The food and atmosphere was wonderful. I enjoyed it. read more

While we were visiting Santa Rosa we find this gem in downtown. Front of the establishment was inviting enough to convince us to dine at the Omelette Express. We were seated promptly. Dinning room was clean with old fashioned vibe to it. Menu is large contains mostly different version of omelettes. Our server was really nice and attentive. She took our order, shortly after our breakfast arrived. Very well made omelettes with house potatoes and toasted sourdough bread. All and all food was satisfying. Portions are big enough and can be shared between two diner. Coffee was decent but fresh. This place can get very busy over weekends. We will back soon. read more

Had a great breakfast here last weekend. I hadn't been back since my last review. I had an omelet that was loaded with chiles and bacon. Potato's were good and the bread that comes with it is spectacular. Prices were fair for the portion size but $50 breakfast for 2 people drinking water is still pricey. Overall this breakfast was one of the better ones I've had around town lately! Our server was great as well!! read more

The owner greeted us on a holiday weekend as we walked into the restaurant. I liked the eggs Benedict and my partner preferred the omelette; the omelette is 3-eggs and easily split. The kitchen was kind enough to divide both of our dishes for us. Loved the cars on the walls, the vintage bicycles hanging in the back, and the news clips on the walls. I felt like I learned a bit about Santa Rosa by being there. It's also walking distance from the train, although we stayed at a nearby hotels read more

Three of us came here on a Monday during a three day weekend at about 11am. The friendly hostess greeted us right away and told us to sit at any open table. There were only two open tables with four seats available plus two or three open large tables that sat six. We decided to sit near the front near the emergency exit. While choosing a table, a server almost bumped into us as she was in a hurry and then on the way to the table, we almost bumped into the same server because she turned around super fast. She looked very annoyed and growled but we had just crossed the threshold into the dining room so we didn't see her. Once we sat down, a much friendlier server came by promptly with menus and took our drink order. She came back with our drinks and took our order. Our server was very efficient and calm when serving tables around us whereas the other seemed like she had a hard time managing her load. The menu didn't have Huevo Rancheros so my husband asked for something close. The server suggested the Spanish Omelette dish with salsa, avocado mash, sour cream, and cheese with toast. I was able to order the Pacific Benedict with gluten free bread so when it arrived, I was super happy to see how the hollandaise looked over the eggs and smoked salmon. There were a lot of cooked onions. Luckily I loved onions. The food came out of the kitchen unbelievably fast which made our morning. My husband liked the omelette he ordered and my son loved the kids Cheese Omelette. They have a kids menu. Both my son and I had fruit instead of the potatoes. The fruit was very fresh. You could tell they had just cut the bananas. The restaurant is nicely decorated with the front end of old cars and the place is extremely clean without dust!!! We were impressed how they kept all the car fixtures so clean. Even the lights by the door have been dusted. We will be back on our next trip! We loved Omelette Express. read more

Excellant food, great service in a very historical and cute part of town. Will be going back again!

Great service. Loved the ambiance. The omelette and eggs Benedict were fantastic. We'll be going back

We had a reservation for a big party. Service was nice until the food came out wrong and we complained. Not the servers fault at all so we still tipped as if nothing happened. Server became very short and irritated with us. Didn't ask if we wanted anything else just handed us the check. Corned beef hash was just burned small pieces of grill and tiny pieces of meat, there was accidental meat in the vegan plate, egg shells in the eggs, egg Benedict overcooked and hard boiled. You can tell they try to push big parties out fast. Disappointed after seeing so many good reviews. read more

I ordered breakfast from Omelette Express through DoorDash this morning, and while the food arrived quickly, the quality just wasn't there. The potatoes were mushy with no crispness at all, and neither the eggs nor the potatoes had any seasoning. The bacon was decent, but nothing special. I appreciate that my order was made fast and delivered quickly, but speed doesn't make up for lack of flavor. Also, the French bread toast wasn't my favorite, but that's more of a personal preference. Overall, I was hoping for a better breakfast experience. Ps the total was $96 for 3 people, I realize there's an up charge for door dash but bruhhh. read more
