Michael H.

LOVED this little place! Great ambiance, one of those cool little places that the locals go. The service was prompt and friendly, and the food did not disappoint! I had the country fried steak and my wife had the Mediterranean omelet and we were both very pleased. The portions are large and the prices are great for the quality of the food. Highly recommend and would definitely return!

Moving up here from Manteca February 2024, I've always wanted to try this place and I finally did!! My boyfriend took me here for breakfast and as you can see from the pictures, the food was delicious!! I love the atmosphere inside. Employees friendly and always smiling and asking if everything is alright. Portions were huge!! We will definitely come back!! I rate it a 5

Diana A.

The food is good and the portions are decent. The ambiance and look of the place is cozy and inviting. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because they only sell drip coffee; no lattes, cappuccino, etc.

Cornbeef Hash Eggs & Waffles with Strawberries and Bananas
Allan Y.

1st time back in while, came in with my daughter for breakfast on a Saturday mid morning place was packed as always, but we got a table right away. Our waitress came over pretty fast with ice water and gave us a few minutes to look over the menu. I got the corn beef hash with over easy eggs and hash-brown. The corn beef hash was good, egg were prefect and hash-brown was crispy on both sides. My daughter got a waffle with strawberries and bananas with a side of avocado. She loved it!!!

Pelton Cafe is a local breakfast spot in San Leandro. The service was ok. The food was good. The vibe was nice. Clean and good food.

Krabby Cakes a la Benedict

We visited on a Saturday and found parking right away along the street. It was busy/lively when we visited and got seated right away. We got our drinks (water and coffee) as soon as we were seated. The staff was friendly and attentive. I ordered the Krabby Cake Benedict which was really good and full of flavor; definitely recommend! My fiancé ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito and he said it was good!

I've lived in the area for some time now and so sad I only recently stopped in. Staff was very welcoming and attentive- we were seating right away and the coffee refills were flowing. Always appreciate that. I loved their huveos a la mexicana. It was flavorful, and spicy, but not overly spicy. And the person I came with, really enjoyed their hash. Will definitely come back.

I came here for a team lunch and just loved my experience. I couldn't stop looking at the decor, the old photos and camera just captivated my attention. I ordered the BLT and it was delicious, great temperature and texture. My only feedback is they couldn't cooked the bacon a bit longer. The fries were crispy and flavorful. The service was excellent. I just had a great time and will return.

what a nice little café to stop by on our road trip. Very welcoming atmosphere a lot of seating and we got our food. Pretty fast in the service was good. The café is decorated with a lot of antiques which helped with passing time waiting for the food to get there. A lot of history in this café.

Stack of Two Pancakes

Sometimes, I don't get enough sleep. And it shows. We had to drop off a vehicle at the local Honda dealership for warranty work. Then we headed for breakfast. Our first choice had no nearby parking, so we headed for our second choice. Pelton Cafe is staffed by friendly people. The food is good and service is usually pretty quick. We ordered and got coffee as soon as we sat down. The menu has standard breakfast items plus some Mexican flavors. My usual go-to is either Chicken Fried Steak or Huevos Rancheros. Today, for whatever reason, I also felt like a Waffle Combination with Eggs and Bacon. It took a minute for the server to come take our order and when it was my turn, I completely spazzed. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak with Country Gravy. That comes with Two Eggs, which I got Over Easy and then a choice of Hash Browns or Grits. For bread, I asked for a Biscuit with more Gravy. That's already a decent sized breakfast but my mouth kept running and I also ordered some Bacon that I most definitely did not need. She got Breakfast #3 which had Two Pancakes, Three Eggs Over Easy and Four Link Sausages, Small Glass of Juice and included Coffee. Not to worry. We are eating professionals. We enjoyed our meals. There were no leftovers or any food wasted.

Waffle Combo w/ an extra waffle & then a side of French Toast (2) & country potatoes
Natalia A.

I've been craving this place since the last time I posted on Yelp when I went here so I wanted to go there & this time try the French toast. We went today also because I thought they weren't going to be open tomorrow for Labor Day and after speaking to the owner we could have came here tomorrow for my mom's birthday but it's okay. We did have to go on a waitlist when we came but we didn't even wait that long it was like maybe less then 3 minutes til they sat us down. It didn't take long for our food since I already knew what to get. Food was delicious like always & the servers were very sweet. My mom & I enjoyed the food & love coming here & talking to the owner who's very sweet & caring

Will it be open on Christmas?

I know my answer is not helpful but I don't know if they are or not. I know that there were a lot of businesses in Hayward closed for XMAS. Best to call them a few weeks before to confirm to be sure.

I like to look for new spins on lattes to see what barista's are whipping up to make things unique. I came in thinking I was going to get a basic latte, but the Borgia Mocha caught my eye! I asked the cashier if it was a good choice and she recommended it. I was a little unsure how the two would blend and how much orange they would use in it, but it came out amazing! Honestly probably one of the top 10 unique mocha's I have tried and it was delicious! I loved the burst of refreshing orange that complimented the chocolate. The flavors danced on my tastebuds like two separate flavors that blended together as one. Each holding their own note that added value to the drink making it unique. I was instantly impressed and wish I found this on more menus! A classic mocha with a refreshing twist of orange was a pleasant surprise! I'm so glad I stopped in for a pick me up! I also loved all the art on the large walls and there looked to be plenty of tables and seating for people to eat and work at.

When I passed by Roccabs at 1:40pm same day, the doors were open and patrons were inside eating lunch. I continued to call and no one was answering the phones. After I finished shopping at Sprouts, I returned to my car and decided to go to Roccabs in person. I was still calling and still no one answered. I pulled up in front of the deli before 2pm and there were still patrons dining "inside" of the deli. I got out of my car and headed inside only to meet one of the employees as she was leaving and she smiled and said, "Im sorry we are closing now". I looked over at the two women who were sitting down and eating their lunch, as I was turned away. There were no hours posted on the door, and everyone behind the counter was literally standing around talking. I probably will not return based on the service. Not answering the phones, but your doors are open and you are serving patrons who were white and turning away people of color coming through the door, during normal business hours according to Google and no signs on the door indicating special hours today. All while turning away POC patrons on MLK day. Nope!!! Do better Roccab. You could have taken the time to post special hours and since you were in fact open, you could have answered the phones to let customers know you had special hours today or that you were Not open to the public. These are simple things to do. And it looks really awkward telling someone you are not open, when you have other people dining inside your establishment.

It was truly one of the best catering experiences I have had from the professionalism of the onsite staff to the exceptional quality of every dish served. I was unfortunately too busy managing the event (and enjoying the food) to take photos, but the menu absolutely deserves recognition. Highlights included the perfectly seasoned Farmer's Market Scramble, Chicken Apple Sausage, Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce, and Herb Roasted Potatoes for breakfast.

The standout dish is the short rib massaman curry. The moment we took our first bite, we both looked at each other because it was that good! The short rib was incredibly tender and literally fell off the bone. The curry was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, it easily became the favorite dish of the night. Overall, we had a great experience with delicious food, great service, and a fun atmosphere for celebrating.

The restaurant itself is small and cute, but my mom and I were seated right away at around noonish on Sunday! That might have been because everyone was busy at world cup parties, though. We ordered: - thai iced teas - the khao hom waffle - samosas - roti with curry dip - koong karee The thai teas were unfortunately on the milky side, and weren't very strong tasting. I recommend the lychee iced tea instead! When I used to go, I always got the thai tea pancake but they have since removed it from their menu. Although this was a pretty devastating revelation, I went with their waffle instead. I thought that the waffle still super delicious, and I loved that it had coconut meat cooked into the batter. It comes garnished with fruit and coconut flakes, which was a plus. While I thought it was a delicious choice, I do not think it was a proper replacement for my thai tea pancake. The samosas and roti were both so delicious, flavorful, and savory. The portions aren't huge, but the flavors make up for it. The koong karee was the star of the show! The prawns were so well cooked, and came in the most delicious egg & curry sauce. I loved the vegetables that came in the dish, as well. You can't go wrong with the tiger prawns, and they go so well with some jasmine rice on the side. Overall, we keep coming back for good reason! The food is always so yummy, and I would definitely recommend you give this place a try. I hope they take this review as a plea for them to bring the thai tea pancake back, though! It was that good. Regardless, I will be back!

The wait to order wasn't too long, maybe 15 minutes? While you wait, you pass by a display of cookies and they even have samples out for everyone to try. The staff was very nice, even though they were super busy! We tried: - Free chips & salsa: These are a must everytime I visit denica's. They are a great snack while you wait for your meal. 9/10 - The ube pancakes: These were pretty solid. I didn't think that the pancakes themselves had a very strong ube flavor, if any. I think all of the flavor was in the ube coconut sauce that they come with. However, there is only sauce on the first layer so you might want to get extra! It is an additional $2.75 or so to get the extra side of ube sauce, though. The pancakes themselves could have been a little more moist and fluffy, as they were a bit dry and dense. I loved the fruit and sauce, so that definitely made up for it! I'm glad that I got to try, but I don't think I'd get them again. Instead, I would get a regular pancake and a side of the ube coconut cream! 8/10 - The chorizo burrito: My bf said that this was also a pretty good option. He thought that it could have been a bit more flavorful, but was still satisfied with his meal! 7.5/10 - The side of hash browns: These were good, as to be expected! The portion was a bit small in comparison to other diners in the area. 7.5/10 Overall, I always enjoy my experiences at denica's!
