Still busy two years later. Came in for breakfast on a Saturday. Service was good and the food good. They give you enough food that my friend and I split an omelet and potato's. My daughter got the gravy and biscuits and wasn't crazy about it. She said the flavor was off. We are from the south so we hard to please when it comes to our gravy and biscuits. She enjoyed the rest of her meal. I also tried the cinnamon cake that my daughter said everyone raves about. Sorry, it was just okay. I must have a fussy taste buds today. The restaurant is cozy. Will come back again next year. Jan 2026

Curbside Cafe is a local gem. Housed in downtown Vista off Michigan. Plenty of parking around. I really like how simple, traditional, and sweet this place is. Reminds me of going to a loved grandmothers house, whose friends and family tend to gather at because she's so welcoming and has delicious food. I noticed Sandy being so kind and helpful to customers just arriving, even helping to bring a high chair or to help carry things for moms (myself included). Seems like there are loyal and regular customers as the staff will have their orders memorized. I love the Monte Cristo. There's few places that make it right and this place does. I got a side of scrambled eggs for the baby as well. There's definitely other items to try such as their famous cinnamon roll. They have a full coffee bar, soft drinks, etc. Definitely one to try at least once. Great service and selection of food. Also, they support the local arts as several paintings are on the walls for sale

First time here this morning. Our server was very friendly, & service was excellent! I had huevos rancheros, hubby had traditional breakfast. Sat outside, nice cool morning!

CURBSIDE CAFE is a solid breakfast place. the lunch menu's available all day but it's difficult for me to get excited about a burger and fries at 8 am. I'm more of a cold, leftover pizza in the morning kinda guy. my SMOKED SALMON and EVERYTHING BAGEL was perfect. the bagel was nicely toasted, the salmon was plentiful, and the tomato was ripe. need to dial down the mandolin for the red onions. perfect thickness for a hardy cheeseburger but a bit overwhelming for a salmon bagel. had to beat the capers off with a stick. whoever built the plate, really, really likes capers. the wife unit's VEGETABLE OMELET (cheese, spinach, broccoli, bell pepper, and onions) was also excellent. hash browns were nice and crispy (not a fan of hash beiges) and weren't cooked so far ahead they turned into potato jerky. the boy ordered the NEW YORK STEAK and EGGS. when you're a Yelper, you gotta be quick when dining with a nineteen-year-boy if you want a photo. also, always a good idea to stay a safe distance from his plate or risk losing a finger. ate with one of the wife's brothers and his wife, one of her sisters, and her mom. can't beat good food and a surplus of breakfast drama to start your day.

Cute breakfast and brunch spot in vista village. The food is good and prices are very reasonable. Definitely a local spot! Service was great. Love it.

Love the little outdoor patio

This is a cute little community style breakfast place with a traditional mom and pop style vibe! We were greeted right away! Table for two offered inside or outside. We chose outside! I got an iced Carmel coffee! It's like heaven in a glass! Honestly haven't even gotten the food yet and so impressed! We are new regulars now living about a mile away. The server was so kind and professional!

Cinnamon roll

Nice local breakfast spot with interesting art (that's for sale) to look at while you have your meal. The person who greeted us and sat us did not smile and seemed to be having a rough morning but the rest of the staff were friendly and after our meal one of them offered a small toy to our son (he got a glow stick) food was good. The cinnamon roll was a gigantic! We shared it amongst the three of us and still had leftover!

Crab Cake Benedict

A great place to get comfort food for breakfast in the Vista area. There is street parking and a couple of small parking lots near the restaurant. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. All of their staff is extremely friendly and made us feel very welcomed. We made it early enough to be offered the early bird special menu. It's a pretty good deal, but the regular prices aren't too bad either. The food came out fairly quickly and they're very generous with the portion sizes. The food was of good quality and had good flavor. They have a fairly big variety on their menu and we enjoyed the food that we ordered.

Pancakes and biscuits and gravy missing the eggs.
Jarid G.

I ordered 2 pancakes and some biscuits and gravy to go. the biscuits and gravy is supposed to come with 2 eggs(I ordered scrambled). Got all the way home in Oceanside and discovered that I didn't get any eggs :( pretty sad about it.

Lovely cafe with outdoor tables serving tasty dishes like salmon Benedict and scramble. Serves mimosas and we walked up at 10 min before close and they took us in - met John the owner. Super nice guy . Coming back for the bratwurst, soup and cinnamon rolls :) the locals said these are the best!

Sometimes... you can go home again…read more Having graduated from Vista High in 1986, Allen's Alley was always a mainstay for weekend breakfasts or the mid week lunch. I moved away a long time ago and I hadn't eaten here in over 40 years. I was glad to see that it was still a running restaurant (though the name changed a while ago) staffed with some of the original cooks. I had to order my same order which consisted of 1/2 order of biscuit's and gravy, crispy hash browns and a single over-medium egg. I sat in the back, sipped on my coffee, and just wallowed in the nostalgia of that little hole in wall breakfast place that still serves a decent breakfast at a reasonable price. My entire meal with coffee was around $12 and that's a bargain anywhere. If you are driving through Vista, CA and you need a decent meal at a fair price, do yourself a favor and visit Mom's Kitchen (there a small framed photograph of it as Allen's Alley inside near the door - give it a gentle tap for good luck).

It has changed hands a couple of times over the last 10-15 years. We regularly ate here as part of our Vista rotation for breakfast/lunch, but we had a poor experience a little over a year ago, so this was our first time back to see how things were. I lasted Yelp reviewed in 2018. There still is a small counter for service inside along with four tables for four and one table for two. Six or so outside tables for service also. One table inside occupied and two outside when we entered. We were greeted by a very pleasant wait staff who were extremely helpful and efficient. We had waters, coffee, Tea, very quickly. Coffee was very good with an assortment of creamers to choose from. I ordered a special Omelet with Chorizo and cheese off their chock board. Side of fruit ($2.50 up charge) instead of potatoes along with Rye Toast. The Toast was just one slice of bread. $17. My better half had the pancake combo, two pancakes with two eggs over easy, one sausage patty. $14.50. We enjoyed the food and service. The prices were fair for the portions and quality of what we ordered. We will add Mom's back into our Vista rotation.

He offered great suggestions, answered questions and made sure we had everything we needed to have an exceptional dining experience. He checked on us frequently in such warm and friendly way - he really made our day. The Brunch Point venue is open and airy (great breeze blowing through), clean and contemporary. The outside patio is comfortable and perfect mix of shade and sun. Excellent food choices with really creative (and delicious) options - sweet savory or spicy. Fresh ingredients prepared with the perfect touches make for delicious dining! Our food came quickly and was perfect and beautiful too. Nice cocktail choices and non-alcohol cocktails too. See pics of my BP waffle below it was a complete work of art! Delicious too! The help yourself coffee bar is a brilliant idea. Never wait for coffee! There were about 8 coffee choices, both caf and decaf. Hubby said coffee was very good, unfortunately the containers ran dry too quickly and I never tried any. Next time! Right now their hours are 8 am -3pm. Yummy breakfast/brunch all day - and super reasonable specials too - look for chalkboard with specials. They are hoping to make dinner again in the near future. You have to try this place! So good! We will be returning again (and again) very soon.

The food tastes genuinely homemade and wholesome, like real care went into every step. I was a little worried the Deli Rose sandwich might be heavy, but it was absolute perfection. Rich, balanced, and incredibly satisfying without weighing you down. The chips are freshly made and so crispy and delicious, the kind you keep reaching for. The iced green mate is grown and prepared by them and is smooth, refreshing, and genuinely calming. You can taste the intention behind everything, from the house made breads to the home grown vegetables and simple, wholesome ingredients that let the food shine. There is a religious or communal aspect behind The Yellow Deli, and I do not claim to know or understand all of it, nor do I need to. What I do love and admire is the home grown, homemade, back to nature feel of their community and how much of that care and love clearly shows up in the food, the space, and the overall experience. This is not a loud or rushed deli. It is a place to sit, linger, and enjoy. The patio is charming, the yellow building is iconic, and the service is warm and kind. You can tell the people here truly love what they do, and it shows.
