    We got to pick our seat and I was instantly drawn to a booth. I look up and there's an old Vermont license plate. I grew up in Vermont and this was just perfect. I ordered the chilaquiles with green sauce, my favorite. Can't find a good one in San Francisco, so maybe I'll be lucky. It's was so freaking good. I wanted more already. 10/10

    $16 bucks for this. Tasteless, watery. I cannot recommend this place.

    Over priced. Lacks taste. I was hoping for a Mexican plate ti have some punch in this plate.

    Chilaquiles verde. Eggs over easy and homemade guac.

    We were on our way up to Northwood golf course and decided to stop at this spot. The place was very busy but they had a great turn around rate and you could tell the servers and kitchen staff was busting their butts to get food out. I loved the decor of License plates and just an overall diner feel. We got the chilaquiles verdes and a breakfast plate. The food was amazing. No complaints at all. The guacamole came with the dish (extra points for no extra charge for the guac). Which by the way, the guacamole is made in house and was VERY good! Everyone was extremely friendly and on it. Not sure when we will be back that way but if we are we will definitely stop back in!

    This place is great. We liked it so much we kept coming back for breakfast, as a matter of fact we were here all 3 days of our trip. The food is tasty and fresh every morning the food came out looking the same and to the same level as the previous day. I had the Country Fried Steak twice with the added biscuit and gravy and Guerneville Omelette. Everything was great. Consistency is key! The staff is so good, courteous and attentitve. They were busy but always had our coffee topped off. WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK ON OUR NEXT TRIP!

    Kitchen sink and gurnerville omelette and onion rings. It's all about the gravy

    This simple joint along the main road is better than it looks. All the employees work hard to make us feel welcome, accommodate our requests and didn't rush us even as we were past open hours. Beyond that, all the dishes we had tasted amazing. The folks here know what they are doing and do it well. All the omelettes tasted great and I enjoyed the onions rings.

    Great food, great service, best biscuits and gravy I've ever had from a restaurant. I would highly recommend if you're in town to try this restaurant

    Wow! Absolutely great food! Homemade and you can tell! My guac was so fresh i was in heaven! The chili quiles was scrumptious and not over powering! We asked our in laws to drive up to eat here again tomorrow! The orange juice is fresh! Fresh! Wow so tasty! The gravy in the burrito was so delicious. Huge servings. I didn't eat it all but am so satisfied

    Great cozy vibe. Music was great playing Queen the entire time we were there. Clean little place with friendly staff and very good Ben breakfast. Just the right portion and lots of taste. I loved the fact that they had Cholula hot sauce since I always put that on my hashbrowns. Overall a great and fun experience with good food. This is a nice little town too.

Enjoyed my hot vanilla latte in a coffee mug which are all different designs. I had the barekas. The babka roll was not very fresh so that was my only negative. I'll definitely go back.

You will find that amazing vibe in this area and Lightwave Coffee exemplifies a movement that was so much about optimism and love. Interior and exterior are amazing with much of the decoration being made from found objects. I loved all the old electronic and mechanical devices inside and loved the mishmash cups and plates that made it feel like you were eating in a friends kitchen. The food and coffee we got were abnormally high quality and we recommend the cookies and the basil ice lemonade. So good after a long day outdoors. Right next to it is a community farm that felt so welcoming and chill. Volunteers were weeding and cleaning on the weekend and it reminded me the very best of the game Stardew Valley. Right next to it is a concrete skatepark and a guy was shredding it when we went. So worth a stop for all these bonus quests! They also had a "pay what you want" little section of potted plants you can take away such as chilis, tomatoes, etc...

Everything is also cooked to perfection, especially the fish and steak. There was also a fancy tea demonstration, I would say one of the best teas I've ever had. First off, the service is top tier! I was pleasantly surprised, this definitely was equivalent to a Michelin star experience. Amazing service and attentiveness, and were also in sync haha. The restaurant itself is beautiful and cozy, love the tree in the middle. I also love the dessert experience of taking us to the patio, even more cozy! with the fire and stars above, blankets included (: We also ate breakfast here twice -- I would recommend the burger for brunch! But service / ambiance is totally different and casual, you order first and then they will bring out the food to whatever table you choose. Definitely recommend to stop here if you're in Guerneville!
