Absolutely one of my favorite breakfast spots in Palmdale. We usually go for breakfast on the weekends. They are always busy which is a good thing. Be prepared to wait specially if you are with a large group. Everyone is really friendly which makes us feel welcomed. The prices are reasonable and is well worth the wait. I usually have waffles with eggs and sausage. I add strawberries, powdered sugar and whip cream on my waffles. There sandwiches and chilaquiles are also delicious. Make you try their salsa with your food. They always keep my coffee cup topped off which is great. Just Tip: If you are the type who likes to sit around with friends to talk, read books or just be on your phone, KEEP IN MIND that there are hungry customers that want to eat. Take your friends with you to Starbucks if you just want to hang out. We seen two girls sit there reading books for over an hour while other people were waiting to eat. read more

We've been coming to this place almost 10 years now! We know the owner because our kids went to school together but even if it's your first time meeting her and coming to her amazing place, she treats you like your family! Everyone here works with a great smile and a kind heart. Their food is also delicious and just like you're having a yummy homemade meal. The muffins (especially the blueberry) are all so moist and tasty and the best sweet treat! Every holiday there are decorations and I love that about this place. I always order their greek omelette and it's always perfect! We also love their French toast and their classic two egg breakfast. And dont forget to add a side of salsa!!!! Homemade and has the perfect kick to it. We worship the salsa! Thank you Chelly's for being Palmdale's breakfast gem! read more

I just got out there thinking that I would get a good breakfast, before the rush hour of church goers. I've waited for a good 30 minutes to get my order. Nobody waited or asked for my order or provided me utensils. All the servers are just standing, and the female owner was busy talking to patrons, while not noticing me, waiting for awhile. I stood up and left, and told the owner that I was leaving, because nobody was providing me services. It is sad that this minority owned business, which you want to succeed, is not consistent with providing services to a regular patron. I hope they take this comment as an improvement. I'm very dissatisfied with their service today. read more

Food was great and place was clean Customer service was a plus as well Food portion are decent read more

Amazing people and great food!! Go for breakfast, stay for lunch...everything is yummy. Try a homemade muffin while you're there! Say hi to the owners and let them know how much you enjoy the family atmosphere. PS. During the virus they are open for friendly curbside read more

One of our favorite cafes in the av. I recommend the chilaquiles. Spot does get really busy in the mornings and more so on weekends so don't come here in a rush. Staff is friendly and attentive. read more

Our depression with the breakfast offering at Fairfield Inn lifted considerably as soon as we opened the menu at Chelly's. The various Eggs Benedict selections tempted at first but then a whole selection of Mexican breakfasts caught my attention. I chose the huevos rancheros, asking that the poached eggs to be substituted by eggs sunny side up. The waitress got my order just right. The restaurant seemed to be a favorite among local residents, with farmers planning their business, families enjoying their favorite eggs and pancakes, and workers enjoying a square meal before starting their day. read more

Came in today with some friends originally it was 5 of us and it turned to 6 we let the waiter know and their response was "are they on their way now or not? Because if not then I'll get in trouble so I will ask you guys to move" what kind of place is putting this kind of pressure on their employees??? Really? That's probably why they are short staffed.. the food has become bland. Suggestion please cut down on your menu and focus on quality items. Times are tough and i get that but when we as consumers decide to go out and eat we expect great service and food. We hung out a bit after our food just to catch up but it seems that's also not acceptable at this place (even though it wasn't busy at that time), the same waiter said "I was about to ask you guys to leave already". Really??? Chelly's used to be a great place to meet up with your friends, eat a great meal, enjoy your coffee with their bakery goods but today I was shown otherwise. read more

They don't have many people and the waitresses take a long time to serve you and to serve you the coffee, which is very bad and expensive.

Very good breakfast!! Service was fast and friendly (even though they were busy). We tried 3 different dishes and ate plenty and had some to take home. read more

This is my wife's and my favorite brunch spot in the Antelope Valley. We've been going here for years, and when family visits, we take them here. Chelley's has a wide and varied menu, and the food is delicious. My favorite breakfast choice is the Guadalajara Skillet. It comes with chorizo, but have them add bacon and sausage into it for an extra kick! Use the house salsa that comes with it - just the right amount of spicy, and tastes great. They also have special jelly. Not sure if it's made there or elsewhere, but it's definitely better than the packaged stuff served by chains and most other restaurants. The muffins are also unique and delicious. Cool vibe inside, nice colors and paintings. Friendly servers who are always on top of it: taking your order and getting it to you quickly, checking on you frequently, and refilling coffee regularly. The coffee is also very good. Already looking forward to my next visit! read more

Sometimes a little short staffed like most places. Otherwise Excellent food and homemade muffins.

Good food but when you get your order wrong that really sums up everything, I ordered medium rare steak and of course it came out well done

Great breakfast spot. Small inside; however, the service and flavor make up for the small space. Fresh food that tastes like it's home made. Great portions and decent prices. read more

Let me start off by saying I know this place was very busy. Having that said, it started off great. Seated right away. Grabbed our order, gave us our drinks, and we waited for our food. It was just me and and my wife. 20 or so minutes later a family of 5 walked in, shortly after that, a family of 3. We waited an hour for our food, and those two families got their food first. Ours NEVER CAME. After my pregnant wife got tired of waiting and dying of hunger, we decided to leave. The manager could care less!!! He did not give a f**k! He literally said "that's fine, bye!". I'm a 33 year old veteran of 2 wars. I have received better service from the terrorist which were more attentive. I will never support this business again. read more

All ways delicious!!! Especially my fav strawberry cupcakes!!!! A must have, trust me!!!!! read more

Nothing fantastic or different than the average diner cafe. Service and food were ok.

Our family visited from out of town and was recommended this restaurant as a yummy breakfast spot. They were not wrong. Our party of 5 enjoyed everything we ordered. Beginning with their coffee that seems to be a secret, mystical potion of some sort to the warm coffee muffin that came with our meal. Husband got the Guadalajara skillet and thoroughly enjoyed the chorizo and salsa. I ordered a classic country steak and eggs whose gravy felt like heaven in my mouth. Kids ordered basic eggs, bacon and hash brown which didn't disappoint. read more

Wanted to go try it out but they didn't even get a chance to because the waiter wanted to sit me where I didn't want to be seated at I told them if I can sit in a bigger table and he said no so I just ended up walking out read more

Has a nice mom and pop diner feel. I was really impressed with the service. Despite of the fact that they were busy, they were very efficient in cleaning the tables and getting us seated. Our waitress was very diligent and courteous- she attended to our table with great care and was quick to recognize if we needed a refill on coffee or water; even though the place was packed, she made us feel like we were the only table she was catering to. I observed her work the other tables, and she gave them just as much care and attention as she gave to us. She's definitely an exceptional worker and it seems like all of the staff and servers took great care of all the customers. The food was okay. I got the chicken fried steak, which was a little dry and the hash browns were a little burnt on the bottom but it wasn't bad. I would consider going back if I'm ever in the area. I want to try other things in their menu to see if there are any stand out dishes that would motivate me to make this place a regular restaurant for me to visit. read more

Love that breakfast burrito smothered in gravy. If there is ever a wait, it's worth it!!!

Ordered eggs benedict with grilled ham & asparagus. Entree came out with some kind of bright orange cheddar cheese sauce instead of the expected hollandaise. Asparagus was barely cooked (closer to raw than to "al dente"). Grits were lukewarm (but at least accompanied by REAL butter). No discount or other form of apology was tendered for this mess. Appeared to be but a single waitperson even though the place was starting to fill up (it was almost noon). P.S. if you prefer real Half & Half with your coffee you have to ask for it (the stuff in the bowl on your table is CoffeeMate ). read more

First time trying this place. I ordered the Belgian waffle combo with bacon and eggs. Bacon was really dry, Eggs were ok, but the waffles were so sour I couldn't eat them. The waitress was kind enough to bring me some French toast instead. Which did taste way better. Everyone else at the table was ok with their food. Not sure if just got a bad batch or what. The staff were friendly enough but the spacing was a bit cramped. Final verdict: Meh... I ll probably just stick to IHOP and Black bear in the future. read more

We're so glad we found Chelly's. We were seated quickly although they were busy. We stopped by for lunch (which was delicious), but they were still serving breakfast and it looked just as good if not better. Portions are hearty and prices reasonable. Staff is nice, friendly and efficient. Tables are cleared immediately to avoid long wait times for their customers. We'll be returning next time we're in town. read more

Food was very bland & the customer service was horrible didn't get a refill on coffee in till after I finished my meal . The waitress didn't even check up on us nor acknowledge . The ambiance was nice just wish we got someone who cared about their guest . read more

Great place for breakfast burritos and anything else to make special meal to go or dine in

Went for Brunch on a weekday. I had the Turkey Club on a roll. It was very large as seen in photo. However the turkey could have used some seasoning or just salt. It had no flavor. My girlfriend ya ad the waffle with bacon she said it was good. The waffle was large. Service was awesome. read more

I've been there three times the first time was great. but all I had was a coffee and a muffin. second time my wife and I had breakfast and it was alright. but they took forever to bring the food. so this last time, I said lets give them another shot. we got there and it was extremely hot inside. the temperature outside was about 80 and inside felt like it was 95. I ask if they could turn on the AC she told me it was broken. and it wasn't working. so I then told my wife maybe we should go somewhere else. as we were getting up we noticed the AC turned on. and it started to cool down so we said okay we'll stay. A different waitress came to the table and ask if we were ready to order. so we ordered and my wife and I both got breakfast food. 30 min later the food finally arrives. by that time we both needed refills. the lady drops the food off and walks away. didn't ask if we needed a refill. she never came back. then we noticed the food was cold like it was sitting there the whole time. I looked at my wife and we both. said we ARE NOT GOING TO EAT THIS. I walk up to waitress and I told her everything that's going on. how bad the service was and how cold we had gotten our food. she had a look on her face of frustration and looked like she didn't want us to be there in the first place. all she had to say after my complaint was $32 please. and I couldn't believe that she said that. instead of arguing with her I went ahead and paid for the food that we never touched. and left. I will never come back to this restaurant very bad service food is cold and I asked them for real eggs instead of the carton and when I received the eggs they were carton eggs and not real eggs and she was trying to convince me they were from eggs and not the carton. I've eaten eggs all my life I know the difference. overall very bad at everything. breaks my heart because its a very nice little place but they definitely need new waitresses, waitresses that really want to serve you with great attitude and timely matter. I still can't believe they charged me for food that we didn't eat. other places would at least offer you something else or do something to save a customer. but that wasn't the case here they didn't care they just cared about taking my money. hopefully they do something about caring more for customers. read more

Have been here a couple of times and enjoyed my meal both times. I had an ABC omelette yesterday and it was very good. Their salsas and jelly's are very good. I especially enjoyed the peach jelly or marmalade. The service was great as well. I would definitely recommend coming to Chelly's. I think the atmosphere could use an update but otherwise a great meal at decent prices. read more

I came here with a coworker on a weekday and we were seated immediately which was nice ! My friends have talked about this place for so long so I had high expectations coming in I ordered the French toast as I usually do and he ordered some egg scramble! the French toast was incredibly delicious! It wasn't anything fancy or exciting but it was made right and you can tell. I enjoyed my meal. It was a huge portion which was nice. The reason one star is knocked off is because of the service. The check was dropped off but the waitress NEVER came back to pick it up so we took it to the counter and paid there. I'll probably be back of my coworkers would like to. read more

The service was excellent but the food is so over priced for what it is. If you truly like this place im going to assume you've never eaten anywhere good. the eggs taste like they came out of a premix carton from the 99cent store and for the French toast being $10 it came out looking like the frozen ones you stick in the toaster, the hash browns were tasteless, even the chains like ihop & Denny's are way better and priced the same, this was my second time coming back hoping for better food but it was a expensive disappointment, pls get better ingredients and try harder to make the food actually good, everything is so flavorless and depressing, honestly idk how people can eat here read more

The service is always good and quick. My food never disappoints and is always excellent. The warm banana chocolate muffin was also delicious. read more

Do not come when it's a special day aka Father's Day, waited 50 minutes for our food and I refused our order. Priority was given to the ALL the Take out others and the Door dash style. The food is good here, but I won't come again on a special day. Don't be greedy, it was a full house. The huevos rancheros that did come out for dad, were on a cold tortilla. Just ridiculous. read more

Truthfully, the food was okay. I ordered the chilaquiles with home fries on the side. The chilaquiles were okay; a bit soggy and lacked presentation. The home fries (potatoes) were mostly charred and lacked flavor. I might go give this place another try considering this was a DoorDash order. read more

Chelly's Cafe - Charred potatoes. - Cafes Near Me - Palmdale, California

Fast service and classic breakfast/brunch food. This is the kind of place you go to where you wake up, go eat, and then go back to sleep cuz all that food has got you rolling into a food coma afterwards. We had a pretty big party of around 9 people and they managed to squeeze us all onto the same table which was nice. Everyone got their food quickly and they were kind enough to allow everyone to pay separately even though they kept getting confused on who got what even after we kept telling them. But, this is understandable since there were so many of us. This restaurant is within a big plaza so there was plenty of parking especially during Sunday lunch hours. read more
