    Cute little spot near my home. It's a small restaurant but there's a few seats outside. Food was tasty, service was superb & prices are decent. I'll definitely be back.

    Avocado toast with eggs over easy and hash browns
    Sandy L.

    Yum! I've been wanting to try The Morning Bun Cafe since I saw they opened. It's been several months now so I think all the soft opening kinks are worked out now. The parking lot is very small. It shares a lot with a couple other businesses like El Tejaban, Bounty Books, and a laundromat. We were greeted promptly. The interior is larger than expected. We arrived on Saturday. The wait time was about 10 minutes. The host took our number and gave us a call when a table was ready since we wanted to check out the bookstore. The menu looks like pretty standard American breakfast food (omelettes, French toast, etc). The portions are huge! We ordered the French toast, chai tea, and the avocado toast. The tea came out in a large glass mug. It had some foam on top. The chai was pretty good! They do not skimp on the food! The avocado toast had a lot of spring mix and came with two eggs. The eggs are cooked to your liking. The choices of potatoes are homestyle or hash browns. It was all very filling without being greasy. The French toast had around five slices of toast. Toppings are extra. It's appreciated they leave the syrup on the table for you to add to your preference. Each dish was around $18. But it was appropriate for the portion sizes. I would like to see the baked goods listed on the menu. I don't know if I missed them somehow. Next time I would like to try their cinnamon rolls or the morning bun.

    We gave The Morning Bun some time after their grand opening to try them out. From this mornings' experience, I can say that I'm a fan. The parking lot is small and is shared with neighboring businesses that have specified parking. We were lucky to find a spot up front 'cause soon after there was no other available parking. The moment we walked in, we were greeted and sat. We ordered their chai latte and a latte - they came out quick and tasted good. I like my chai to be heavier on the flavors so it was nice enough to have. For food, I ordered the chicken fried steak. It was delicious. The gravy was tasty and I added more pepper to bring more flavor to it. We also ordered the eggs benedict and that was so delicious that it was nearly gone before I was able to try it. I also ordered the cinnamon roll and it was airy and not too sweet! If you're looking for something that has more Cinnabon type consistency, this isn't it. It's good though and worth a try. We'll be back to try their other items!

    Biscuits and Gravy
    Paul W.

    This was our first time visiting Morning Bun since they first opened. She got the Biscuits and Gravy which came with scrambled eggs and hash browns. The eggs were way overcooked and something with the biscuits and gravy wasn't agreeing with her taste buds. My breakfast was basic but not bad. We took home a cinnamon roll which people have raved about. The roll itself was very nice, but thought the frosting was a bit excessive. With so many other options for breakfast in town, I'd be hard-pressed to return in an instant.

    Morning Bun is a new cafe that just opened up where Bar Lynn used to be. I know they offer both breakfast and lunch. Not so sure about dinner. I was there for lunch and I have to say they do somethings very well. They bake most of their items from scratch and I like that a lot. I sampled the Morning Bun and Cinamon Roll. Both were very good but the MB was better. Great crunchy texture with lots of sugar and cinamon goodness. In fact they bake their own breads as well. The only thing they don't bake is their English muffins. The em's are purchased from Model so that's a win there. I tried all three pictured items. The most tasty was the biscuits and gravy. Gravy was thick, rich and slightly peppery. I will definitely be back for that. I wasn't pleased with the hash brown as it was previously frozen and tasted as such. As this was the first week I am willing to come back to try again. I think they are still working out the new restaurant kinks.

    Simple yet delicious Hearty Morning Breakfast
    Adriana D.

    This isn't a chain restaurant, so don't expect a cookie-cutter experience--and that's exactly what makes it special. It's a locally owned place with charm, personality, and food that's made with heart. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is cozy, and you can tell they take pride in what they do. If you're looking for a genuine neighborhood café with delicious homemade food and pastries, this is definitely worth a visit. Sweet little spot to catch up with friends or sit alone and enjoy a nice solo meal while sitting at the counter that gives you that old school good vibe feeling

    This was a delightful surprise. Vacaville is in desperate need for good breakfast options and this one hit the spot. I liked that the menu was concise and not overwhelming. I was impressed by the speed they made our lattes and brought them out to us and they were yummy! Everyone who worked there was friendly and smiling. I ordered the cream cheese chive eggs and my husband got the Benedict which I forgot to take pictures of, but both meals were delicious. Hoping this place can consistently deliver good service and quality breakfast.

    Cappocino, morning bun, chefs scramble with hashbrowns.
    Leilani N.

    Staff was very welcoming, we really enjoyed the quick customer service. I had avocado toast and my husband got the scramble with hash browns. Both decently cooked and seasoned. Nothing extraordinary, but it was a very pleasant. However, the morning bun was DELICIOUS. Really light and airy and not too sweet. Will definitely come back for just the morning bun~

    Country Fried Steak

    Stopped at this cute spot on out way to six flags. I got the cheeseburger and my bf for the chicken fried steak. Both were delicious and great portions for the price. The staff was very friendly as well

    Found this spot while thrifting and it looked tasty. Was greeted and seated immediately by friendly staff. The benches are a little wobbly and hard but noticed others had cushions. There's a huge tv inside for watching the things. I tried to be adventurous and got the country fried steak with gravy and eggs. It was fine. My friend got the chefs scramble and I didn't hear any complaints. My bf got the biscuits and gravy which I longed for. We split a cinnamon roll and it was super soft and goofy and warm. Maybe needed a dash more cinnamon. It was pretty quiet inside since we went off hours. The most surprising part were the prices. The country fried steak and eggs was 22$. The scramble was 20$ and the biscuits and gravy were 19$. Those are San Francisco prices! On the more positive side they did have a very clean and nice smelling bathroom. Would probably stop in to grab a cinnamon roll but both worth a full meal.

    Experience - 2/14/2026 It's Valentine's Day Saturday and we wanted to start the day off right. I love my ZzZ's time so naturally it was going to be a brunch spot. Cruised through my list of brunch spots I have on the radar and actually found this spot scrolling through something else. SPOT // 3 stars Tucked in a little strip mall between a liquor store and laundry mat. Parking is extremely limited so we ended up parking in the residential area close to the spot. Super small, but cozy and busy. We didn't wait long to be seated and we were pleasantly surprised that there was even room for us being that it was Valentine's Day. FOOD // 5 stars Chicken Fried Steak w.over easy eggs w. hash browns w. OJ Biscuits and Gravy The main dishes (Chicken Fried Steak and Biscuits and Gravy) were so so so good! We ate it ALL up, and I mean all. Gravy is sausage based, not too thick but just the right consistency. The gravy used on the Chicken Fried Steak is the same as the Gravy with the Biscuits. OJ was fresh and in a small (to me) glass. I made it worked though. SERVICE // 5 stars Wonderful service. Attentive and kept things going. Did not wait long for our food, despite the holiday and amount of peeps coming in and out. We will come back and try some other treats on the menu. I hear their morning buns and cinnamon rolls are off the hook so when I try them, I'll update my review. Get there and get fueled.

    First time visit. Quaint little cafe that serves as a sit down restaurant and offers take out. The ambiance and lighting were a little dim and could use some softening. The employee was friendly and helpful but ordering was a little tricky. They do not have a display of the pastries so you are ordering sight unseen. They didn't have any recommendations so I just did a mix and match of muffins and of course their morning bun. The muffins were delicious-sweet,savory and creamy while the morning bun sadly was dry and unappetizing.....should they be called the morning muffin---perhaps. Prices were a bit on the high side. I'll try the breakfast items next time.

    Biscuits and gravy w/ eggs and potatoes
    Damian Franco L.

    Came to check this spot out and honestly it was good I got the biscuit and gravy with scrambled eggs and house potatoes and a side of bacon I do recommend this dish the only thing I would speak on is I would like the gravy to have had a lil bit more sausage in it to give it that perfect amount of flavor from the sausage other than that it was bussin, my girl got the casserole and let me tell you that thang looking good!! I got the vanilla latte also it was koo I would get it again. But no complaints here very happy customer 9.5/10

    Morning bun .  Again they served us yesterday's buns .  It was OK I left wishing we had eaten at Black Bear

This establishment is pretty big inside. There's booth and table seating, bar seating, and a small outdoor patio as well. The establishment overall from the lighting, the staff, and the layout is very inviting and had me spend more time than I originally planned. I always love a bar that lets you try out multiple beers that let you find the perfect one for you. I ended up with a great IPA. The bartender was super friendly, knowledgeable, and she did a great job engaging with customers sitting at the bar. She happened to be working the next time I came in and even though it was only my second time there she remembered my beer and also had me try a new beer I also ended up ordering. It's little touches like that that make an establishment. I had the slider lunch special and also had a burger and fries the next time I came. These are definitely homemade burgers with quality ingredients. I love that they switch up monthly specials (they have great deals each month) and also themed days such as kids eat free. The quality, the freshness, and the portion size was great! I'll keep coming back.

There was a steady line & initially only one worker, so he was kept busy & there was quite a wait. The party in front of us was chatty & indecisive, but he was patient. You can't see all the flavors in the cases in front, but a list is on the wall. We ordered a scoop of Butter Brickle in a dry, straightforward transaction. It was one of the flavors in a back fridge that wasn't in the visible cases. The scoop looked different than what I thought it would. We went to sit by the big windows on a comfortable cushioned bench. Once we tasted it, turns out it was the wrong flavor, obviously Black Walnut. Luckily, the kiddo thought it still tasted good & we didn't bother getting it fixed. Still, getting an incorrect scoop isn't great. In the counter area, there's a self-accessible water dispenser. There is also branded merchandise, & packaged food items like taffy, cookies, & sauces. They offer a 15% uniform discount for police, firefighters, paramedics, & seniors (with ID). I know their ice cream is creamy & delicious, but the experience of waiting to get the wrong flavor wasn't the best.

Seating is at metal table booths, wood tables, or the bar. Outdoors, you can sit under a roofed area or umbrellas. Fountain drinks are self accessible, but the lids were hard to find & are actually in the small space to the left of the dispenser. Sauces & condiments are easy to access.

The bread was especially buttery & toasty. Crisp on the fries was great. Some dings are that there was a notable delay in getting the kids meal after our other orders arrived, which as a parent, I would've preferred arrived first. Also, my tray arrived with jus spillage on the bottom that already started to soak into the bread. This has been an issue at this location. Overall, we have a tasty, solid meal experience here.

Not only did James make sure we got amazing drinks but he learned we had already ordered food. He went over and let other staff know we were at the bar and to bring our order over once ready. While closing us out for our drinks James noticed that my husband had a reward available under their rewards program and let us know it would expire soon.

We fot ribs, tri tip, tater tots, and roasted veggies and cornbread. Yum!!! Tender meat, crispy taters and those veggies were seasoned well. Buckhorn is a lively place, plays upbeat music, has a TV at the bar playing sports. Great place to get a cocktail, a bite to eat, hang with family or friends!
