I've been living in Northern California for a few years but used to come here all the time. there were a few places that I couldn't wait to get back to when I decided to take a role back in San Diego. So much has changed in the last few years and I was excited to see that it was business as usual at cafe 67. The food was amazing as always and so were the staff. The food came out so quick and it was reasonably priced. I'll be frequently often now that I've returned to the area. read more

A homy place. Nothing fancy and no need to be. Good food, fair price, generous portions and great services. Waitress checked on us a few times during meal and even asked if my wife wanted water, after she declined coffee refill. Very attentive. Paid $56 total for two omelettes plus coffees (including tips). Not cheap but serving portions so generous that we ate the leftovers for dinner, which came out to $14 per person per meal. Not bad. read more

Cafe 67 - The Work Omelette - Diners Near Me - Lakeside, California

The food is always good and nice sized portions but the service isn't always the same. It's hit and miss depending on time of day and what server you get. Yesterday was exceptionally busy for them and it showed with the lack of service. It took forever for someone to come take our drink and food order, food took the same amount of time. When it came to ask for boxes and get the check our server was nowhere to be found so we had to ask another server for boxes and then our server finally arrived with the check. When going to the front to checkout we had to split one meal from the rest and the owner told us to ask for separate checks next time because it makes it easier. It was a bit rude given the lack of service we had received and we weren't even asked if everyone was on one check before bringing it to us. Food is consistently good but service should be also. read more

Really good food, service , and the Ambiance is like a family diner ! I love it and they are really nice!

I have driven by Cafe 67 coutless times getting onto Highway 67 in Lakeside. We finally decided to check it out since it was on our way home from a short staycation. We were warmly welcomed by their friendly staff and quickly seated at a nice booth. The restaurant is filled with knick-knacks, flair, odds & ends and whatnot but it was all so clean and well kept. Nothing was dusty. I ordered the CFS and it was outstanding. The gravy in particular was excellent. I was intrigued to try what they call a "Monterey Potato Cake" and it sounded better than it tasted. Completely devoid of any crispness and didn't really seem fresh. That tater cake was a gut bomb in itself and I ate less than half of it. I will say the English muffin was exquisite. Perfectly toasted and buttered. I appreciated that they had my favorite blackberry jam packets at the table, plus my wife's favorite, orange marmalade. I look forward to visiting again soon, but will most likely order traditional hashbrowns or grits next time. read more

This is one of the best breakfast restaurants I have ever eaten at. The food is amazing and the portions are generous. I always get the vegetarian omelet with Monterey potato pancake and homemade biscuit. The biscuits are the best I have ever eaten. My son always gets the "works" omelet and he swears by it. The staff is very friendly and efficient. I meet my son there for breakfast once a month and I always look forward to the great breakfast I am going to have. read more

It's ok, been there with my brother a few times. The owner is not particularly pleasant

We go there often and just love the the friendliness and the country fried steak... But most of all, the salsa that is homemade is amazing and they are quite generous to provide extra for my leftovers!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! read more

ts cafe is so tuff boiiiii, me and da boiz went to ts cafe and have such a blast with our waiter adrien and his boss kai cenat. We enjoyed gobbling and chugging down the mega knight fried mangos with mustard, the whole time we spoke about adriens friend group and chatted about 6-7. I loved the service, and the eefoc was on point, we drove past loot lake which is part of the scenery on the way there, perfect for going with your desired boyfriend, glen in this case. I love this 67 cafe, the food was bussin, vibes were sheeeeeeeesh and it even made me delulu. I listened to skibidi toilet and the box by roddi rich 67 times. Great thanks to adrien and his goons, we will definitely be back. read more

Meatloaf falvor was much less than expected . Good Portion size. Pulled pork sandwich Good Portion but bbq flavor was not to my taste.very bland 1967 vibe is good, neat and clean Unfortunately it was not worth the drive from north west county read more

Since we moved up the hill to Ramona, we don't get down the hill to Cafe 67 very often. That doesn't stop the food here from getting even better. Amazingly, every plate is full to the edge! Always taste great and they must use emu eggs in their omelets. Their 3 egg omelets are twice the size of any other omelet restaurant! And, again, my favorite isn't on the menu (yet!) I'll order the California omelet, with the home fries. The omelet. It is, of course, stuffed and comes with fresh guacamole. Order an English muffin dry and about 3 or 4 containers of their salsa. On top of the muffin halves, spread half the Guac on each side and drain the salsa containers and add to the muffin. Best guacamole toast you've ever had! If you're looking for a great breakfast, you have to go to Cafe 67 in Lakeside. read more

Food's great, with large portions! Service was outstanding! Nothing but positive things to say about this place.

Had a great breakfast, great food, service was great with our server. But the real turn off was the disrespectful racial profiling from the owner when he ran our cards. He returned with them saying, "Carlos?" When the card reads Marcos, my brothers name. We corrected him saying, "Marcos?" He then looks up and proceeds to say, "Ah, well it's Mexican, they're all the same." and walked away. EXTREMELY unprofessional, not funny, and unnecessary. The comfortability of racism is unacceptable in all environments. Just shows racism is coupled nicely with illiteracy in this establishment. read more

Good food, even better service! Love the ambiance of this diner. It's got an old school feel to it. Portions are large, price very reasonable. It's one of our "go to" spots for breakfast. Plus the entire menu is available even during breakfast. Don't judge me, but I once ordered the Sloppy Joe for breakfast. Last comment: the staff is friendly and attentive. Two thumbs up! read more

Went for a quick weekend visit and ate here for breakfast, our server was very friendly and made us smile. Food was good. If ever in the area again, we'd go again. read more

Along with an old school classic cafe/diner feel and ambiance, you get a friendly and warm atmosphere. Not to mention a generous portion of Americana. Serving breakfast and lunch, the menu is not overwhelming yet gives the patron a decent range of choices. I ordered bacon and eggs, hash browns, biscuit and a side of gravy. The eggs, fluffy and scrambled, offer a farm freshness while the hash browns crispy on the outside and cooked perfect on the inside. The bacon was crisp and cooked well and the biscuit airy and steaming hot. Pair all this with a cup of gravy and I call it a good breakfast that can hold me over till at least dinner. The service was fast and efficient, my meal arrived after order in less than 10 minutes, maybe more like 5. The restaurant is clean, including the restrooms, and tastefully decorated if you like retro. I am definitely coming back read more

They messed up our food twice for pick up which is why we stopped coming here eggs never seasoned food wasn't fresh and there's always a problem we call and they say are you playing games with us, that's crazy how much they take pride in there business it's ok us and our family won't be coming here any more read more

My family and myself usually love to come eat here. Cheap food okay service but today would be the last time I find myself here. My handsome son has long, beautiful curls. The owner not only made a comment on how he should cut it but proceeded to tell me it made him look like an ANIMAL. Not even a girl an animal. Definitely not the type of people I want my family around. read more

My wife, my two grown sons and I meet up nearly every Sunday morning for breakfast at Café 67. It is an old fashioned mom and pop café that serves breakfast and lunch. The service is second to none. The wait staff have obviously worked here for some time, know all the ins and outs as well as us regular customers. My coffee cup is never empty, the food is always fresh and delicious. Whether breakfast standards, salads, hot, cold, or deli sandwiches, gourmet treats like lasagna, fettuccine alfredo, burritos, vegetarian options, potatoes at least six different ways, burgers, cheese steaks, and deserts; truly Café 67 will fit the bill. read more

If you are looking for good food, service, and prices this is the place for you. Service was prompt and friendly. We were told the specials and options. I had the Reuben which was very good. They load up the plate with steak fries. My wife had the eggs, pancakes, and sausage. She said it was very good. It came with warm syrup which is always nice. When done the waitress offered a cup to go with my remaining drink. This is not always the case and shows good customer service and awareness. Prices were good based on prices. Parking was easy on a Saturday at 11 am. The only call out is it is a little worn for furniture and looks. This may scare some away, but I found it clean just old. I support this family business and would return. read more

Pulled pork was good but the 1/2 BBQ chicken came out on a metal pan with nothing else with it. Not fully cooked through

Take a blast into the past with the decor in this place! Great service from a very knowledgeable and attentive staff! The burger was flavorful and plenteous. A few adjustments to the decor to modernize would be a nice - but other than that it's a great little spot hidden in Lakeside. read more

Amazing service. Great food. Portions very healthy size. Loved the antiques. Took me back in time. We will be back again.

My husband and I wanted to get some brunch, so we decided to try cafe 67. He ordered the country fried steak with hashbrowns and an English muffin. I ordered the 3 egg scramble with chorizo and cheddar cheese with toast. We both ordered coffee and iced water. We were greeted by a nice gentleman who sat us and brought us our drinks. He was very friendly and we loved talking to him. We had a friendly server also who was very attentive. The coffee was delicious and we had multiple refills. The toast and English muffin were nicely buttered. They had a variety of jelly packets on the table and different creamers available. I also loved how they had a napkin dispenser on the table for easy access to extra napkins if needed. My 3 egg scramble was very good, it tasted just like something my mom would make me. I loved it My husband loved his food also. The servings were very large and well worth the money. We loved the small town feel and cozy environment. I'd definitely come back. They have a large parking lot and with wheelchair accessibility. read more

We love Cafe 67! The food is EXCELLENT and homemade. Their cinnamon rolls are a favorite of our grandchildren. The servers are wonderful and Ruby is a favorite. As seniors we either share a breakfast (they're huge) or better yet save 1/2 for the next day! Decor is retro movie and toy memorabilia. You can tell by their full parking lot they're a Lakeside favorite! read more

It's not often that I'm in East County, but this past Sunday was one of those rare occasions. After my daughter's softball team got trounced in their tourney, I decided to cheer her up with some pancakes. Cafe 67 was quite busy, but the friendly hostess got us seated in less than five minutes. My daughter was hoping for some banana pancakes, but the waiter said they never have bananas, which was a tad weird. No worries, she got chocolate chip and she definitely enjoyed them- just for a moment she forgot how bad her team got beat I had the Works Omelet and it was just ok. Bill was $50 for both of us, but everything is just crazy expensive these days. As far as parking- it was pretty tight. We got the last spot in their small lot, but people were parking a bit of a distance away. Overall, not bad, but not the best either. read more
