Well we came to town for work and looked up breakfast places. DejaVu looked great so we came to eat here. We are healthy people and on a keto diet (it's usually not that hard to order as we are on no sugar and very low carbs). But we struggled here... They had no stevia as a sweetener. Only artificial SweetPlus which is not good for you! They had no heavy whipping cream so I couldn't make my bulletproof coffee (coconut oil or butter in your coffee plus cream). They had only half&half which has high carbs. I ordered eggs Benedict without potatoes and muffin. They did ask if I want a fruit instead but since we don't do sugar it's out for us. We asked for side of avocado but they charged us for it :-( I don't think we can eat here again as they don't support healthy eating. They probably think low fat diets are "healthy". Well let me tell you NO! Ketogenic is a way to go... read more

I love family restaurants; not because they're unique but they carry a charm that you won't find from the big name chain restaurants. And If you're an out-of-towner (such as myself) and traveling up Interstate 5 in the Redding area, and looking for some amazing greasy spoon family-styled comfort food, look no further because "Deja Vu" is just that place. And after seeing the positive reviews on Yelp, why not give it a try? Conveniently located in the heart of downtown Redding, "Deja Vu Restaurant and Bakery" is located in the historic Lorenz Hotel. From the outside, burnt red brick walls gracefully show the charm and character of the restaurant. And one you step foot inside, high ceilings, hanging fixtures, large wooden tables, and a truly relaxed family atmosphere is present in every direction. Once you do come in, you will immediately turn right and follow the green carpet straight to the dining room. The gateway arch will guide you to their bakery and espresso bar. In addition, their menu consists of good family-styled comfort food that offers several types of omelets, pancakes, cold & hot sandwiches, burgers and fresh bakery items. I come here on a Tuesday afternoon around 12:30pm with my lovely lady as I'm taking a much needed lunch break from work. It was actually my first time actually eating at a sit-down restaurant in Redding and her first time even coming to this laid back city in over a decade. As we both carefully look at the menu, I order a "1/2 Garden Sandwich" with a side order of seasoned curly fries (for $7.49). I also order an ice cold lemonade as my beverage of choice. As she is craving breakfast, she orders their "Lorenz Omelet" complete with hash browns and a side of English muffin (for $8.99). She orders a unique seasoned drink and that is none other than their "Cinnamon Bun Latte" (for $4.50). Her coffee beverage arrives within minutes. After sampling a small taste of her "Cinnamon Bun Latte", this has got to be one of (if not) the best coffee drinks I've ever tasted. The consistency of espresso with the texture and creaminess of the milk and dollop of foam sprinkled with bits of cinnamon & brown sugar on top surpassed anything I've ever experienced. I've been to a lot of independent coffee shops in my years and this drink surpassed anything I've ever had. Both of our meals come out within 10 short minutes. My garden sandwich tasted perfect. It had the perfect amount of cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, sprouts, avocado, and cream cheese on homemade sourdough bread. The seasoned curly fries were crispy and tasted on point without being too overbearingly salty. And the portions of the fries were huge! You definitely get a lot for your money! I had a few bites of her omelet as this thing was so darn big, she was only able to finish half of it. But from what I tasted, it had a very generous amount of mushrooms, onions, and potatoes while the melted cheese on the egg hit a grand slam in my book. Overall, the outstanding service, portions, prices, and feel of "Deja Vu Restaurant" really made this trip to Redding a unique and memorable one. And for those of you reading this that just might visit nearby Lake Shasta or even on a trip to Oregon, this is more than just a pit stop; it was an experience that we will remember for quite some time! Thank you for such an amazing meal and the super nice waitress that took care of us; we will definitely remember this place for years to come! read more

It might be pricey but it was a real treat. The interior was vintage and comfortable. I ordered the chicken fried steak. Tender and covered in a wonderful sausage gravy. Eggs and potatos completed the plate. My wife had the green chili eggs Benedict. Homemade english muffin, jalapeno bacon, a thick slice of a green chili all topped with a thick rich hollandaise sauce to remember. read more

Excellent service super fast and amazing breakfast!!!! Biscuits and gravy was so good thick gravy and the biscuit's were soft yet so filling! read more

This place is great! They give really huge portions of their breakfast items. I really like that you can get a side of small pancakes (instead of toast or biscuits) and they were still really big and fluffy! We also got to try 3 different syrups with it and it was honestly the best of both worlds. I got the bacon, ham and mushroom omlette and it was packed, and I mean PACKED with meat within the omelette. I'd recommend coming here! It did get busy by the time we left around 10am, but definitely come hungry. A great cafe in Redding! read more

This place is the best! Food is great and services is even better! We go for breakfast and have never been disappointed! If you haven't tried Deja Vu your missing out! read more

Every visit to Redding consists of at least one meal at Deja Vu. The incredible selection of delightful specialty coffees is one of my absolute favorites about my visits. The food is alway wonderful, so many good options of every kind. The breakfast potatoes are always perfectly cooked with just the right amount of crisp. What else can I say but, thank you Deja Vu for being so wonderful! :) read more

We were driving through town and looked up a quick place to eat. This spot had good reviews so we thought we'd give it a try. It happened to be their opening day at their new location. The service was great, food tasted like a home cooked meal, and our food came out at a reasonable time too! We ordered the honey bear latte, chicken fried steak, biscuits and gravy, and two kids plates. Would highly recommend, and we will be back! read more

Great breakfast establishment!There's a variety choices. Seems to be a favorite locals place. And the servers are friendly.

The cinnamon bun latte is the best way to start off your morning. One of the best lattes I think I've ever had. Very smooth and flavorful. For breakfast we had the eggs Benedict and the eggs were poached perfectly. What more could you ask for! Highly recommend stopping here when you are in Redding. read more

The breakfast was good but I don't feel like I got bang for my buck. The service is amazing however. I would come back for the ambience and chill vibe, I love the old building and aesthetic. The food wasn't a wow factor for me but I'd love to come back and try different menu items. read more

Deja Vu - Garden Omelette (I had added Tapatío) with a slice of French Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Redding, California

Usually my go to place. Today is the first time visiting since my husbands passing and got completely ignored. Got sat, other people came in and were sat next to us. They got their water, drink order and food order before our waitress decided to acknowledge us. She apparently had to make their specialty drink before seeing us. Also this place is the emptiest I've ever seen it, so that "I'm super busy" excuse can't be used today. Needed sweetener for my iced tea and my mom had to go get it as nobody ever came back to our table to check on us. Highly dissatisfied and disappointed today with this lack of service. read more

Strong display of great breakfast dishes, old-world ambiance, and efficient service. They made me feel welcome and at ease in a packed restaurant, and made every effort to ensure food was fresh, delicious, and cooked to perfection. Definitely worth visiting if you're an out of towner. Parking might get challenging but it's worth the struggle! read more

This restaurant was a nice place for many years but one experience I observed threw me off completely and I will no longer be taking my business here! I visibly watched the owner ignore a family of 6 because they had children, the owner of than yelled in the mothers face telling that her and her kids could wait another 45 minutes. I feel as if the owner of this establishment needs a lesson or two on how to work with customers. It was the most horrific thing I've watched to date. read more

Can't believe I haven't rated this yummy place before now. The food is always good - my husband LOVES their eggs Benedict. We stopped going for a while because the owner's daughter was awful with customer service and since we never knew when we'd experience her, we just stopped going. Since we've been going again we haven't seen her. We usually sit on the Deja Brew side and have breakfast as long as there isn't a wait list for the restaurant side. Tabitha is awesome! All the servers are great. And so is their food. read more

Came in on Friday morning at 9:30 and you wait to be seated, with a group of 10 we split ourselves into a group of 7 and 3 but the restaurant had tables for up to 6 people, which makes more sense and so we split the group where 4 sat in a booth and 6 at a table. Silverware is already on the tables, along with various condiments and coffee supplies. Our server for both groups, Shelly was amazing! She was very patient, had high energy. She worked with one of our group members about their allergies. Our waters came out right away along with coffee. We ordered at 9:45 and the orders started to come out right away, in 10 minutes. I ordered Bill's Special which is a biscuit amd gravy, with 2 eggs done whichever way you want, and choice of bacon or sausage. From the description I asked Shelly if it was filling ad I was looking for something light and she said it was because the biscuit is huge. She was right! It was huge and enjoyed the dish initially but found it to be dry as the gravy didn't keep warm lost seasoning. With a dash of some hot sauce it was good but later on thought I should of gotten an omelet. The rest of the group I was in really liked how the hashbrown sides werr not overly salty and really enjoyed the clam chowder bread bowl too. The restaurant got packed by 10:30 but seems to be quite large in size as many guests were seated on one side and the other side started to get full too. The bathroom was located at the front of the restaurant and was very clean. Very fast service and lots of menu items to choose from and large portions! Would stop back in when in the area as it was very close to the sun dial bridge too! read more

The concept/decor of this establishment is a bit confusing and I don't quite think it hits the mark of the brand name "Deja Vu" - The initial entry into the restaurant, almost feels like walking into a funeral parlor; with the dark hall and poorly lighted entrance. Once you have been seated, the inside of the restaurant main room- well kept and clean - the decor reminds me of farm house sheik; a bit outdated but nice. Our server was super prompt and the kitchen was fast with getting food out to the tables. I ordered a white mocha and a cheese and mushroom omelette with a side of hash browns. The white mocha was super tasty and came out hot. My main meal however, was a bit on the bland/disappointed side. The omelette was overloaded with mushrooms *which some might appreciate* - the lackluster part, not only was the omelette over stuffed with mushrooms- it missed the mark of having any flavor at all...zero. No spices, salt or pepper - just super bland with one poor slab of American cheese on top. I opted for the hash brown choice over the home fries; they came out in a cut slab and not fully cooked all the way; crispy on top and mush the rest. This place is ok if you want a quick breakfast with a good cup of coffee or looking for a place you can take the kids for a meal with the family. read more

This was our second time driving through Redding for a long road trip with both babies. We had Heather serve us and it was just the best service we got in a long time. She was so kid-friendly but just with making sure she made it easy for us as parents of two young toddlers that could've went nuts but she kept coming back to make sure they were doing ok. Foods always great here too! Our breakfast stop every time we drive North and so happy we got Heather as our server again! Best attitude and customer service quality!! read more

We are traveling through the area and this place did not disappoint! So good I had the Classic Eggs Benedict and a Mocha from the Cafe, both were so good.

Visiting my Dad up in Redding and I wanted to take him out for Fathers Day but I knew it would be crowded almost everywhere.. decided on Deja Vu for breakfast the day prior. We made a great choice! Super charming place. It's got an espresso cafe off to the left of restraunt area once you walk in. Located in downtown Redding at the former 4 story most prestigious Lorenz Hotel. Which is also the citys oldest brick buildings, built in 1902. Corner of California St and Yuba St. Plaque and more history about Sarah Lorenz outside on building. Since the Benedict's are well known here in town and I love them, well yah I had to give it a go! Mom and I ordered the B.A.S Benedict. Bacon, avocado, spinach with eggs, hollandaise sauce on an English muffin with hash browns $12.99. Sooo very amazingly delicious! Perfectly made and beautiful presentation. Dad had the Classic Eggs Benedict $12.99. Ham, eggs and hollandaise sauce on a grilled English muffin. He says he normally get that and is always perfectly made in his opinion. If you love Benedict's they also have a Jalopeno Benedict and a Deja Vu veggie Benedict which I'm sure you would love! Debbie L. was our server and was super prompt and friendly. Since it was my first time there I was very impressed by the food, service and overall customer service. They serve breakfast and lunch 7 days a week. Park across street on parking garage, it's free. Or try your luck at street parking. read more

We had originally planned to dine at the Courtyard Cafe, but discovered it had recently closed its doors forever. Fortunately, a worker at a nearby establishment recommended Deja Vu, among several others. Although finding the restaurant wasn't too difficult, parking in the downtown are is somewhat limited and finding a space nearby was a minor challenge. Be patient and check out the side streets where not only is parking more plentiful, it is also free for two hours. The downtown area is something of a magnet for the local homeless population, but they seem harmless enough. The cafe is situated in what was originally a turn-of-the-century (i.e., early 1900's) hotel and the decor is both tasteful and true to its roots. The booths are large and comfortable; the tables are old-fashioned, wooden, and boast comfortable seating as well. I cannot stress enough how friendly and helpful the wait staff are. Jaime was our server, but a couple of the others checked in on us periodically as well, but not to the extent of becoming bothersome. However, ultimately it is the food itself that recommends this establishment. It is delicious, the portions generous (although not overly so), and the prices are decent. I ordered "Bill's Special", a light, fluffy homemade biscuit smothered in tasty gravy, accompanied by a pair of scrambled eggs and two generous-sized pork sausage patties. My wife ordered two eggs, scrambled as well, along with a pancake and home fries. It was all so fabulous and a great value at seventeen bucks, not including California's onerous tax. read more
