New to the area, I stopped in after seeing a full parking lot and assumed that meant good things. Unfortunately, the experience was the opposite. We were greeted by a hostess who, despite plenty of open tables and several staff members moving around, told us to stand off to the side and wait to be added to a "list." A young waitress tried to seat us right away, but the hostess reprimanded her, so we waited several more minutes before finally being shown to a table. It took a while just to get drinks and place our breakfast order. About 45 minutes passed with no food, while we watched obvious regulars come in, order, and receive their meals quickly. When we checked in with our waitress, she said it would be just a few more minutes. Ten minutes later, they brought out someone else's food entirely. At that point, we no longer felt confident that our meal--if it ever arrived--would be prepared with care or proper kitchen practices. We decided to pay for our drinks and leave. The worst part came as we were walking to our car: the hostess sent our waitress outside to tell us she wasn't allowed to keep the tip we left. That confirmed this wasn't a server issue--it's a management and kitchen problem. It's a shame, because it's a cute little spot on my route to and from work, but this experience was enough to keep me from returning. read more

Solid quick service, funny waitress. Eggs Benedict was good with high quality ingredients. The burritos were small, mostly potato and not quite hot enough.sweet local vibe just off the highway. Burger was good, big and hot read more

Great service, food and having GF options (especially Pancakes) was a wonderful and delicious surprise! Only off-putting things were they are CASH ONLY and they didn't have to-go cups for our coffee???? Reason given was it was 'a county law'. read more

Rocky's Cafe is one of those places where the vibe does a lot of the heavy lifting. Nestled right in the middle of the forest, it has a charming, rustic feel that makes you want to sit back, sip coffee, and just be. It feels like a little cabin retreat tucked away from the rush of the world. As for the food -- it was... okay. I had the tofu scramble, and my partner went with an egg, cheese, and spinach scramble. Both dishes were fine, nothing particularly memorable or flavor-packed, but also nothing to complain too much about either. It landed squarely in the "decent breakfast" category. Not bad, not amazing -- just there. If you're in the area and want a cozy little forest spot to relax with a warm plate of food, Rocky's might still be worth a visit. Just go in for the atmosphere more than the menu. read more

Stopped in for a brunch today with an old friend. They ran out of French Dip, but the turkey sandwich was just as good. Nice compliment of fresh veggies, turkey, cheese, and mayo on a toasted slices of white bread. The home fries were great too. My friend's California Scramble was also great, especially with the avocado. Our server was friendly and did a great job. My bank reimburses all the ATM fees, so those complaining need to get a better bank. Cash is fine, and so is the location. Will be back! read more

I loveeee this place!! Such a cute vibe and such nice and attentive staff! Some of the best pancakes I've ever had as well!

Hard to beat breakfast and lunch. Quaint setting, outside seating, dogs welcome. My favorite are the banana pancakes and sausage. Add a mimosa and I'm set. Love, love, love this restaurant. read more

Rocky's is a unique place to eat. It's like eating while out camping and smelling sausages and coffee cooking. The service is always friendly and warm. We drive from Vacaville on many occasions to eat at one of the best breakfast places in Northern California. I give it 5-Stars. Bob & Jenel read more

The food is good, the staff is friendly, and there's a big outdoor porch for pets. What else is there? We had the breakfast burrito and French toast. Both are easy to get wrong, but these were prepared with care. We are coming back! read more

Honestly- I would skip this place- seems to be for locals in the mountains, the retirement crowd- I ordered and omelette and home fries and it's was like hospital food- toast was warm bread- not a brown piece to be found- when I asked for coffee to go- it's "we don't do that" and went to pay- cash only- aka they don't pay their fair share of taxes- as I departed she wished me a "better day". read more

Went here with an hour and 15 before my son's baseball game at the high school down the street. My husband and I ordered two eggs breakfast and an omelette. We got seated right away ordered quickly. 45 minutes later no food so we got up and left. Watching how this place operates was all we could do and the hygienic practices here are atrocious. Orange juice was spilled and cleaned up off the floor with the same towel they were cleaning the tables with. No pre spray was used, just an orange juice soaked towel. The cooks were incredibly slow leaving the kitchen often and constantly checking the order tickets but food was at a snail pace coming out. The couple behind us had a fruit cup and the fruit looked disgusting. We had to leave with no food and I'm glad we did because getting sick off of a dirty restaurant was not what I wanted and waiting almost an hour for breakfast food is ridiculous. No thank you Rocky peace out. read more

I. Love. This. Place. There is something magical about it. They love food- and their customers- and it shows. Supporting small businesses is important and this restaurant makes it easy! Pro tip- if you like pancakes, get the blueberry banana. Skip the syrup. You won't regret it. You're welcome ! read more

The chorizo scramble did not have chorizo but a few small pieces of kielbasa sausage. I would have ordered nothing else if I had known that. The onion rings were ok. Cheeseburger, fries and French dip were pretty good. Service and ambiance were good. read more

A Warm, Rustic Gem in the Heart of Felton Rocky's Café was one of the highlights of our trip to the Redwoods! The ambiance is rustic and cozy -- think cabin charm with a wood-burning stove and tables by the window offering lovely views of the surrounding town. We were greeted with cheerful smiles even before walking inside. The staff welcomed us warmly as we climbed the stairs and made us feel like old friends. Everyone we met was genuinely friendly, happy to chat, and created a true "we're so glad you came" atmosphere. The breakfast menu is fantastic -- so many tempting options that we came back **three times** during our stay! We tried two different omelets and their delicious breakfast burrito -- each dish was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The decaf coffee and hot chocolate were spot-on too. We live four hours away but wish we could make Rocky's our weekly breakfast spot. Our Redwoods vacation was wonderful, and Rocky's Café truly topped it off. Highly recommend this charming little place -- a must-visit when in Felton! read more

Good breakfast and good service. Make sure you have CASH! They don't take credit card.

Do not pass this place up! We were headed to Big Basin to check out the post fire regrowth, beautiful. We had the pancake and the classic eggs breakfast that came with eggs, bacon, and toast and hash browns. The star items were the eggs cooked perfect, the bacon a cake perfect, the bacon perfect, the English muffin possibly homemade and generously buttered. I got a hot tea and it was ten stars! A lot of people around us ordered French toast and the French toast sandwich and they also looked perfect. Even more appealing was the cost, the interior was homey and clean and has a cabin feel and decor. The creaky floors made the experience even better and we ate out on the wrap around porch. There was awesome service here so be sure to tip generously because our waitress was taking orders, serving, washing dishes, and we never felt neglected! read more

Have encountered the owner when she is downright surly but that did not happen this visit. She was fun, funny, and created a great experience! My family thoroughly enjoyed their egg dishes with coffee refreshed frequently. Wait staff attentive, as was the owner. Cannot express enough gratitude. read more

A great little breakfast spot in the woods. In an old house with wood paneling and simple decor. Standard diner fare, nothing exceptional but the pancakes, French toast, benedicts, and scrambles are all good. Service can be a little slow, but it's not really a problem because it's a lovely place to hang out and sip coffee. The staff are always friendly even when they're busy. One of my favorite local diners! read more

Great service: friendly and attentive. Food was tasty (I had huevos rancheros and husband had ham and eggs). Bottomless coffee (always a plus even if many of us expect it in a diner setting). Note: CASH ONLY establishment!!! read more

Delicious pancakes and hash browns. Well priced and excellent vibe. Restaurant is in an old house and surrounded by redwoods

My spouse & I spent a week camping nearby. We ate breakfast at this cafe 3x that week. We had been there a few years ago, and loved it. Well, the cafe still serves delicous food! We received great service too! Malcolm was our waiter a couple of times and he was great! Sam, another waitress, was so personable, bubbly and nice! We loved sitting at the same table and enjoyed all the staff. The eggs and bacon was cooked perfectly. We were apprehensive that this cafe wouldn't be as good as it was years ago, but it was. The only suggestions I have is 1) get real menus. They have photocopied menus and the photocopy is poor. It creates a negative appearance, and 2) they are suppose to be open everyday (per Google), but we arrived on a Wednesday and they were closed. So, that wasn't great. Either Google hasn't been updated or it was just closed for some other reason. Other than that, all is good. read more

I love a big breakfast after hiking and I'm so glad we checked out Rocky's Cafe. My brother ordered the chicken fried steak, I got the chilli cheese scramble and we shared a short stack of blueberry pancakes. Everything was so good and did not need any additional salt, pepper or hot sauce so please try it before adding them. We devoured everything. I'm saving this spot so I can try other food after our next hike. The wait staff was so kind. read more

We ate at Rocky's Cafe twice while we were visiting the area, and the food was wonderful with eggs and sausage tasting very fresh. And, they even had gluten free pancakes, which I was pleasantly surprised as not many restaurants offer them, and they were great. Also, both times the staff were friendly, and the owner, Chris was very personable. Linda read more

There seem to be some complaints about the service but we had excellent service. And really good food. The bullet holes in the windows are a little sketchy. Also, it really does need to be cleaned. Dust bunnies, and cobwebs hanging over the tables. read more

What a gem in the forest! Breakfast was great with pancakes eggs potatoes and so many other choices. I've been twice now and was very pleased. One thing I can say is that I wish the coffee was a bit stronger. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and the service has been great both times. The place is very quaint like you may be in someone's home with outside seating on the porch available. They take cash only but an ATM is onsite. On my list of repeat restaurants. read more

TERRIBLE and RUDE service. Like I would give this -5 stars. Group of us 5 were waiting to be seated, however the waiter (and even hostess initially) were EXTREMELY rude to us from the get go. Waited 15 min to get seated even though there were at least 5 clean tables available. Initially thought they're probably short staffed which was why we had to wait unnecessarily long. But then the second we were seated and one of us ask what she recommends, she says "(sighs And rolls her eyes) we are too busy to recommend--I'll just take what you order--figure it out." Then as each and every one of us order she's snapping her head, rolling her eyes, and being extremely rude. It got to the point I finally ask if she's ok and that she's being rude to which she says "we're really busy (hence, Acknowledging and Almost arrogantly justifying her behavior). Instead of paying attention to her tone after I made that comment, she then amped up for rudeness and in a condescending tone asked what I wanted to order. It was interesting seeing her act differently (very polite) with other tables (and seeing from the other positive reviews) so it's hard to justify her actions as just having a bad or "busy" day. Then again, seeing all the negative reviews, I'm not surprised the common theme is bad service. Really curious if there's a pattern though on who they're being rude to. Based on her actions (and there were two more examples of her rude behavior), it was clear we were not welcomed and so we left. Never had I ever had an experience like this before--DON'T GO HERE read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE!! We visited 7/19/23 From the beginning it was bad when the hostess was rude greeting us, taking our order and ignoring us till our check was given to us. We were clearly two different checks but didn't want to separate them (2 adults 2 kids on one, 2 adults on another) Another customer called her out and she apologized to him. We were brought the wrong food order and raised her voice when we bacon was raw, and needed more cooking. Older woman, RED hair you are rude and an embarrassment to this establishment read more
