OKAAAYY 1800, with the updated furniture since my first visit! It definitely gives it a "more than a diner" feel. The outside is still as inconspicuous as ever, though. If you blink, you might miss it. Service is still 10/10! This time around, I ordered a hot matcha latte, and honestly, I wasn't expecting much (let's be real, some places can mess up matcha). But surprise, surprise -- it actually tasted like real matcha! It was delicious! For my meal, I tried the cowboy scramble, which I swear was everything but the kitchen sink tossed in a pan. It was hearty, satisfying, and totally hit the spot. The only hiccup? The melted butter they used on the toast had a weird aftertaste. I can't quite explain it -- like if butter went to a weird party and came back a little off. But hey, it didn't ruin the whole meal, just a little side note. All in all, I'm into the new look, and I'll definitely be back for that legit matcha latte and hefty scramble! read more

Hello peeps!! Let see who is in the chopping block todayyyy!!! Come on down 1800 cafe. So let's start off with the outside of this place. Very clean very welcoming. For being a place right in front of moving traffic very clean. Now when you want in you are greeted by a server and asked how many in your party and then asks you to sit where ever you want. Which is pretty cool because if you wanted to sit by the window you can. Which is what we did lol. Now for the food when I say wow I mean wow!!! There of the order of the family Son- sprite bacon cheese burger well done Wife- coke and bacon cheese burger Me- bottomless mimosas waffles with one egg and two bacons second I had a stake well done Sorry but I forgot to take pictures all I can say is if you know how my reviews are you know how truthful I am. I'm not going to lie from the service and the food everything was top notch. Every little bit of it was amazing and the music they have goes with the meal you are eating. The steak was juicy not at all dry burgers were the same very juicy. My waffle was a huge most waffle. Now for the moment of truth is this place Dendinger approved??? Yessss queeen this place is a must go to place. Being the family or if you just want to eat by yourself it's okay come on down and enjoy the drinks, the music and the food we will definitely be back soon.

My husband & I came here for breakfast after running local errands & were pleasantly surprised! It was nicely decorated & very clean, & thankfully it wasn't super busy so the staff was very attentive. They have a huge selection of mimosa options, so of course we had to try some! We tried the True Love, Lovey Dovey, & My Valentine, which were all very tasty. For breakfast, we ordered their vegetarian eggs Benedict & a simple eggs & hash browns breakfast. Everything had excellent flavor & was cooked well. I definitely think we will be going back again soon, especially for the mimosas! read more

Sunday morning for a little breakfast. The service bring organized and efficient is a nice improvement here. We had the #8 combo with biscuits, gravy, eggs and sausage patties. The biscuits were nice and fresh (I hate stale biscuits). We also had the breakfast sandwich and swapped out potatoes for cottage cheese. Everything was good. read more

I've been coming to this place for several years now. I really enjoy the food and the family that runs this diner is the absolute sweetest. The food is exceptional and that part luckily hasn't changed much. The service has always been wonderful here, but the last two times that I've visited, the service has been practically non-existent. I've noticed that the family hasn't actually been working on the weekends (which is when I usually come) and they've gotten a completely new staff. Kudos to them for being able to scale back and take some time off. However, the new staff doesn't care as deeply about the service as they do and it shows. Stopped by for breakfast today and it was moderately busy. I was greeted and I sat myself. The young gentleman who took my order seemed nice but he was very robotic. Nobody checked on me while I was eating but the young white guy made sure to deliver my check as soon as I was done eating. In fact, I had the same experience the time before that. They took my order, delivered my food, never said a word after that and then gave me my check. It's the like the friendliness is gone. Prices have increased a lot but so has everyone else's prices these days. The older Hispanic lady was the only one who actually spoke to me. She is the last one left of the original staff. She recognized me and we struck up a conversation. She told me that she was only working weekends now. I hope she doesn't leave. Right in the middle of our conversation, the white guy starts waiving his hands and motions for payment. I found this to be extremely rude. Once I made it to the counter, homeboy just stared me down like a hawk as I signed my receipt. Didn't say a word, just stared. So uncomfortable. I guess he wanted to make sure that he was getting some kind of tip even though it wasn't warranted to be honest. How ironic is that?! Providing minimal service but expecting to be rewarded for it. It's the "new" American way :/. So, I probably won't be back for a long, long while. Luckily, there are tons of other great breakfast places in this area that I can choose from. It just sucks because I know how great this place used to be. Hopefully the new staff can improve their service for the sake of the business reputation. read more

Yes! This deserves a 5 star! Not only was the food delicious. Every staff members customer service was impeccable. Derrick himself made the experience over the top, with his playlist of old school R&B classics. He was extremely friendly and attentive the entire time. He even opened the door as you were leaving. The food was promptly served. I had the crab cakes Benedict 10/10. I was torn between the hotcakes and crab cakes. Derrick can read a room, he knew I was torn because I wanted something sweet! lol I ended up getting the crab cakes. Very flavorful. It was my Mother's birthday and we were going there to get a waffle and she loved it. Good spot to stop by and enjoy some good food and the long lost customer service that's hard to come by these days. read more

1800 Cafe - Mimosas combinations - American Near Me - Concord, California

Family owned and run little cafe offering American breakfast located in concord? The twist? They offer all various kinds of mimosas, including flights for you to try out! We visited this little cafe on our road trip out of town and we enjoyed our experience. The service was super friendly and nice and the portions were fairly large and generous. My wife ordered the Benedict and I ordered the NY Steak. Just a note, they'll ask you how you want your steak cooked and you may answer to them how you want it cooked, but it's going to come out well done. Food was hearty for breakfast and that hit the spot. There is a private parking lot right next to the restaurant with easy access. read more

1800 Cafe is a family owned diner located in the Plaza Concordia shopping strip across from Food Maxx on Monument Blvd. They're open from 7:30 am- 2:30 pm and serve breakfast all day. They have a nice array of breakfast and lunch dishes and have a ton of different flavor mimosas, including mimosa flights and beer. Have yet to try any yet. We've been here 3 times and the Cowboy Hash is our go to! SO good! The Cowboy Hash has chopped bacon, mushrooms, diced bell pepper mixed with home fries, topped with cheese and comes with your choice of 2 eggs any style as well as your choice of toast. I usually ask for the hash to be cooked well and it comes out crispy and delicious. Try this one, if you like breakfast hash, you won't be disappointed! I've also tried the breakfast sandwich which comes with hash browns and it was a little underwhelming. Haven't tried any of the other dishes, but I'm kind of a stickler for ordering the same thing if I find something I really like. Service is always really fast and friendly and I love supporting family owned restaurants. If you're looking for a new breakfast spot, 1800 Cafe is a good one to put in rotation! read more

The server, daughter of the owner is a young sweet beautiful lady. Polite and friendly. We came here on 01Jan2023, a holiday, because the place we planned to go to is closed. So I'm grateful. This is our first time so this review is based on first time visit only. We entered and got seated right away - choose which ever table is vacant was the rule. Place was clean. The owner and the daughter are both professionals. There was a table who was irate because of how slow the kitchen is moving (we did not experience that, to me it's reasonable given it's a holiday and they are not fully staffed). They both approached this issue professionally such that they did not let the customer's remark and actions personally and did not let their emotions control them. Good job! Okay on to the food. Well, shall we start with the mimosas? It got me excited with the plethora of flavors they offer! They also have mimosa shots, which composed of 3 shots of whichever flavor you desire - of course I got this: Dark Desire, True Love, Seashore. Dark Desire: I'd call this the summer drink, light and crisp. True Love: For the sweet - too sweet for me Seashore: The all season - not too sweet and so tart but not as light as Dark Desire Very Berry Waffle: I ordered this knowing it will come with cold fruits but I did not expect frozen fruits - a bit cold for a rainy cold morning. BUT I still enjoyed it. This would have been better with hot or warm fruits. Special #6 - We ordered over easy eggs. Done perfectly. Top of the egg was seared while yolk is cooked and still runny. The hashbrown? Oh I love. Crunch on the outside and definitely not wet in the inside. However, it lacks salt and pepper? I supposed that is a plus especially for people who watches their sodium intake. The sausages I preferred them a bit browned. But that's a preference. They are still good. Juicy. The French toast even it was already cold when we got to it, they were still delicious. At first I thought it was too sweet for my liking but it was my sense of smell that betrayed me, because it was not. I enjoyed it. The cinnamon is just enough to give flavor but not too much that it gets a bit bitter. The sweetness was enough to make me crave for more but did not leave me with diabetes. Bathroom: CLEAN. Parking: it's in a plaza so free parking but not much because there are other shops/restaurant in the tiny plaza. read more

The dude and I came here on 11/12/21. Since it was a long week and pass couple of days were pretty emotional draining we looked for a place that had princess friendly cocktails and this place kept coming up. They have seriously like over 50 mimosa creations and i'm literally kicking myself of why I always passed this place up. Parking was pretty easy to find. The outside of the 1800 Cafe is nothing but class and vintage style. When we walked in we were immediate greeted by Staff or Owners who were very sweet and soft spoken. They informed us we can sit anywhere. The dude usually leaves seating arrangements up to me but since it was inside dining we sat by the door. My dad always said "Always make sure you know who is coming through the door" so 20 something years later I like to face the entrance so we can see who is coming in - habits. The booth we sat at was very comfortable and good observation of the how this place is ran. They were getting A LOT of Door Dash orders which warmed my heart as I like this place and want them to stay in business. The inside was kinda empty but picked up off and on. They are Open from morning to evening like 8pm or 9pm but the menu says other wise !! They stay open past 3pm. Which I think was the main reason we didn't come as we thought they were closed. Anywho, I am the most indecisive person ever when it comes to picking food or drinks and even cocktails so went for the Mimosa flight which consisted of 3 shot class of mimosa of my choice YAY! The dude picked out one and I picked out 2. The left one was something with mint which I didn't like "It tasted like tooth paste". I couldn't finish it so the dude liked it and finished the drink. I did like the other two mimosa shots which was Better Half absolutely my favorite and first kiss was good. I would definitely get Better Half again. Very delicious cocktails. The menu is very extensive and I was in the mood for CHEESE. I was craving the gooey goodness! The nice part is that you get to customize your grilled cheese. I got sourdough bread, along with cheddar, and fresh fruit. I loved the meal but I think I picked the wrong cheese as my sandwich was very dry. I forget Cheddar does do that. I should have selected American or pepper jack. But it was edible. The fruit was delicious the best part. I would rate the meal a 6/10. I did add bacon too. Still dry. Not the end of the world but American Cheese next time - now I know. The dude ended up getting the Chorizo Scramble which he rated 6/10. I was not sure if it was beef or pork chorizo so I didn't try it (I can't eat beef). The dudes pancakes were really good in my opinion but I can't eat pancakes or else I'll be sick but I did try a tiny bite and I rated it 8/10 but the dude gave it 7/10. Delicious and huge too! They gave him ample syrup too. Overall, This place was super low key, staff was busy but attentive, friendly and helpful. The place was very clean, smelled good and they do require you to show proof of vaccinated to dine in (There is a sign on their door) do they check? I'll leave that for your experience. It's an ordeal itself I can imagine for business owners. Looking forward to coming back to try more of those mimosas! And maybe a different meal - like an egg white scramble or something light. I would recommend to give this place a try. read more

My girlfriend recommended this restaurant for brunch and I'm a brunchhead all day long. Today, we ordered a corn dog for kids, a chicken fried steak and combo #6 with a Belgian waffle on the side. I was going to order a chicken and waffle but they have chicken strips and I was craving dark chicken meat. I was very surprised to see the menu have more options of mimosas than I've ever seen in my life. So, I had to get two different flavors to have a fuller experience. I was quite happy with the options of mimosas that I chose. I think the ruby red grapefruit juice is my new favorite. All of us were very happy with our meals, and were excited enough to come back and try something new. Overall, we are excited to return and super in love with the delicious and large portions! read more

Wowza! Amazing breakfast place in Pleasant Hill and I wish I knew about it earlier! The restaurant has a warm and relaxed neighborhood vibe to it and the employees are very friendly. First off, your cup of coffee is AWLAYS topped off! I did not have to look for a waiter or have to walk up to someone to get a refill. A good strong coffee is a MUST HAVE at any breakfast establishment for me and if you can keep those refills coming, I know you are an on point server with eyes of an eagle! Thank you! An extensive breakfast menu i.e., eggs benedicts, waffles, pancakes, regular combos, omelettes, etc. (YAY!), big portions, and at a reasonable price equals WOOT WOOT for me! Must trys: 1. Shrimps Omelet. No baby shrimps here. No sir! This omelet has the regular big shrimps. With sautéed onions and cheese....SO GOOD! I'd get a side of avocado to complete it. It also comes with your choice of toast and hash browns or home fries. I got sourdough toast and a side of fruit which was a SWEET medley of banana, sweet strawberries, grapes, blackberries, and plump blueberries. 2. My mom devoured the Fajita Omelet plate. She ordered the hash browns and from the golden color, I knew it was cooked just right! Note: My mom doesn't eat spicy food so if you don't either ask for them to either leave out the salsa/pico de gallo or put it on the side. Can't wait to try a waffle or french toast here! I'll be back! read more

Shout out to the very attentive and understanding staff! Jacob you're awesome buddy! I came through here for a Father's Day/birthday celebration! I made reservations but noticed I really didn't need one because the morning rush was over. There were plenty of seating around 12ish. My mother ordered the Denver omelette, and a side of waffles, she said it was delicious along with a mimosa called first kiss... Her husband ordered the number 8 which he devoured along with an orange juice. I believe he order something else but I don't remember what it was. My partner ordered the chicken and waffles but substituted the stripes for what we thought would be full wings .... He was quite disappointed because the chicken pieces they gave him were huge as heck... he called them dinosaur wings. So he decided to order the chicken strips .... Another disappointment.... They were super flat and still doughy as if they were frozen chicken patties . It looked nothing like the pictures we saw on yelp. He ended up eating the dinosaur wings despite them being huge .... he told me they were pretty flavorful. He also ordered true love mimosa. I ordered before everyone but I was the last to get my food. That was a bit frustrating... I had the steak and eggs with sour dough bread and hash browns. The steak was flavorless hash browns over cooked and crunchy as heck ... I had to have them cook me another hash brown. The second batch was ok but still didn't look like the picture that influenced me to come here... Overall I will definitely come back to try other things on the menu like the veggie omelette and a side of chicken apple sausage or bacon.... The owner is absolutely amazing..... great vibes & a family oriented environment were most definitely felt throughout this establishment . The music was bomb... I am a sucker for an oldie but goodie playlist ! Thanks guys see you soon. I didn't take any pictures read more

What an amazing local family owned business. We had enjoyed this location for our Mother's Day breakfast! The service from the team was amazing! The location was like a classic dinner clean and crisp! We had originally called to see how long the wait was and the lady who answered was kind enough to say she would reserve our spot for our party of 5. We got there and originally did not like the seats because of the glare of the sun bothered our youngest. The team was quick to switch out seats and we're not upset at all! (So thank you for that! ) The portions ran big the kids plates were big as well! Must try : Crab Cake Benedict! The crab tasted bold and full of flavor! The Waffle dish was amazingly crunchy ! I'm not a fan of soggy waffles so was really pleased this waffle came with a crunch every bite. This place sees a lot of patrons as you can see the relationships they build With their guests. I would definitely come back to enjoy another breakfast to support this local owned shop! Must try if your in the concord area. Parking might be limited towards the front but there is plenty of parking towards the back of the lot! Don't be discouraged! Ciao for now! read more

I'm so shocked at the amount of 5 stars. This place does not deserve the rating it has. The service was good. They seated us right away. The place was filthy. The walls looked splattered with dirt. The door was filled with spiderwebs. The food was pretty expensive for the quality/quantity. I don't live in the east bay but the north bay has a great breakfast place that offers a similar option for children's breakfast at $8. This one was $10.50. The breakfast special hotcakes was $12.50. My pancakes were hard and difficult to eat. The one egg was pretty gross. Overall a bad experience, I do not recommend this place. read more

Doesn't look anything special from outside but inside was nice, clean and spacious. I was getting my car washed next door and was hungry. It was lunch time, so I asked what was good on their pretty big menu. The server/manager explained that they were famous for their breakfast, especially omelettes. As I don't like omelettes, I ordered two eggs, sunny-side up, with hash browns and sourdough toasts. The eggs and the hash browns were cooked perfectly! Denny's can learn from them! The toasts were pre-buttered and I had mixed feelings about that. Ideally, I would love two slices to start with and two slices a little later so that I am not eating cold toasts at the end. The server was friendly and ensured that my coffee cup was always full. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend. read more

I had the breakfast with turkey sausage, over easy eggs, country potatoes and hot cakes. The hot cakes were THICK and I needed a knife to cut lol. The taste was good but a little thick.

Ate here on a Friday morning for a date. The service was friendly and food was delicious! We ordered the matcha latte, crab cakes benedict, banana hotcakes, and chicken fried steak. My date and I agreed everything was not too salty or sweet. And the portions were big! I also appreciated that the owners went out and bought bananas when we ordered the banana hot cakes. They were out of bananas, so my date and I didn't mind ordering something else. But the owners were so accommodating as to go out of their way to buy bananas for our pancakes. Amazing service! I will definitely be back! Looking forward to trying the chicken and waffles next time! read more

Kudus to their service. Chicken fried steak was awesome. Egg n sausage and corn beef n egg were average. Ambiance was very cafe simple.

This is my first review on here, and let me just say , this place is always amazing and consistent! I usually always go with the Chicken Fried Steak there but I switch it up from time to time and every time I do , im impressed. There has been a new owner change, but he is very customer service oriented. Very good guy and he isn't those people that are one of those owners that operates behind the scenes. Him and his staff are very friendly and thats always a thing I look for in any restaurant I go to. The Aesthetic is also really nice! Ive been there when the old owner was there and it seems they made a change to the tables and chairs so thats a nice touch! If you want a awesome breakfast and lunch with a great atmosphere , I would recommend this spot 100% read more

Second time is not a charm. I submitted a review about the serviceability of this cafe on 5/6/24, and I do not want to be leave another negative review, but the service is still a huge issue here. The owner last year asked if the service was not good, to please walk up and talk to him about it. After my meal, and paying the check, this time , I walked to the back kitchen area to speak with him,( to be fair) . The owner may be a very nice guy, but running a restaurant, I am sorry to say is not in his wheelhouse. Not once did anyone circle back to ask if my meal was okay? or do I need a re-fill on my drink.? The booth a few feet away from me asked for another mimosa several times and there as zero sense of urgency. The owner went on to explain he was slammed today, and did not have the staff to support the floor as much as he would like, yet he had a employee sitting down folding napkins? as he explained he was back and fourth in the kitchen trying to be of service. His eye for front of house is not there , and I brought up to him "service" was just as important as any food he is putting out there. He followed me outside to continue the conversation, and prior to me leaving I mentioned that customers have to matter to the staff, the way I knew they seemed not too, was one of his employees s was wearing a Diggers diner shirt, in front of house, he spun his head around to verify it. If he missed a detail like that, an employee wearing a competitors t-shirt in his restaurant, you have to ask, what other details are missed? running a small business is not easy, and I do not want to make it harder, but he has been running the place for awhile, and if what he is doing is not working , maybe he needs to give some thought to why? If you looking for a just a beverage to be served, without having to ask more then once, this may not be the place for you. read more
