Eating here is a must when we're in Homer. It's a family-owned cafe, ingredients are always fresh and I love that they offer free coffee and daily specials. Sitting outside with their dogs on a nice summer day is always a treat! I tend to go with one of their rice bowls which usually include a protein, veggies, and an egg. My fiancé, who's Cuban, swears by their Cuban sandwich. He's even asked my parents to bring one back home to Anchorage on their weekend trips to Homer. We always dine in so we can chat with the owners (and pet the pups, not gonna lie) but people often take advantage of the drive-through option.

Monte Cristo

Delicious! A sign on the outside of the building said, Fast casual dining. I agree. There is inside and outside seating. Self serve coffee and water. Food was quick! Monte Cristo was tasty, turkey and cheese sitting between 2 thick slices of French toast mmm deliciousness! Too big for me to finish so half left with me.

My bagel was pretty darn good. My husband's sausage and gravy was horrible. It had very little meat in it and had a smoky flavor rather than a sausage flavor- it was weird and not in a good way. The complimentary coffee was also super watery. Given that you have to bus your own table, I was expecting service to be quicker than it was. We waited about 15 minutes for our food. There's only about 8 tiny tables inside (and a nice patio, which had no people in it when we were there,) so I'm not sure why the wait was so long for such simple items. I'd probably give this place another shot because they had some interesting items I've not seen before, but my husband will refuse to go back because his was so bad. Oh well..

Chicken burrito

We came down for a long weekend and ended up eating here twice because it was so tasty. Fast, friendly service. Great food, fresh ingredients, expansive menu. Day one was breakfast, and we had the Monte Cristo, biscuits and gravy, and the scramble. All were fabulous. But we saw someone eating the SW chicken burrito and had immediate FOMO. So of course we went back. Get the burrito!!! IT WAS DIVINE! The kiddo has the grilled cheese with ham and ate it so fast I'm not sure he chewed it.

"French toast"

These bozos just served me two pieces of toasted bread in place of FRENCH TOAST. Do y'all see any egg here?? No, because there is none! Just paid over $15 just to throw this right into the trash. You have to be a special kind of stupid not to be able to make French toast, one of the easiest breakfast items to prepare. Take your business elsewhere, trust me, this place is a joke. With all due.

Not sure why my breakfast went so wrong ordered over medium eggs. I was served way over easy (raw) eggs. I had broke yolk and it was runny white. So I returned and asked politely for over medium. The cook took my existing eggs and refried them. Served to me still uncooked but crunchy. Free hint, when someone returns eggs cooked wrong, redo with new eggs. Worst $24 breakfast!

If you are in Homer looking for a delicious homestyle breakfast, COME HERE. My goodness. River Cafe has a versatile menu, excellent service, and the outdoor dining area is very nice and quaint. I just finished my Cowboy Skillet, and I swear I'm gonna be full for at least half of the day. Incredible meal!

Omg. So good that I had to come leave a review. The lady that helped us was also the sweetest.

We visited Homer today and glad we found this place for breakfast and lunch. The inside dining area is limited but on a sunny day they have more seating at the back. The dining area is clean and maintained. The food is good but a bit too pricey. After leaving we noticed that they offer drive thru if you are in a rush.
