Food is wonderful, service is great, ambience is perfect. Love to have work breakfasts and lunches here when I'm in town.

BOMB! Hash browns were by far my favorite. They were perfectly crispy while also being softish inside. They were pretty light too! The Benedict was hella good, and the bacon was thick and crispy Price wise- it wasn't too expensive! About $40 total for both of our dishes and two coffees. The service was great too :) read more

Ya I'm that "very rude mom"... Of 6 kids that have been eating at that brick and mortar through 3 different restaurants, for 12 plus years, and I have never had a worse experience than what you gave me. We came up to your counter, with my 4 children in tow, a 6 year old, 12, 15, and 16 year old with my husband and I, after a foothill highschool charity track event. You served well over 20+ other students and their families that came from the same event. We came well before any other students because we knew most that came in after us, had even spoken to another family asking us what the wait time was, and you had told me 20 minutes. We were all sitting in your waiting room within 5 feet of you personally, and after 40 minutes of waiting, and seating 4 other families ahead of us that came after, i asked when we would be seated. We have been waiting patiently. I simply asked you what the wait time was and why anyone hasn't checked on us, i suggested we could use a booth because i simply didn't want to inconvenience the business. That I noticed you sat 4 other families ahead of us because I can see your list with my name clear as day. You then proceeded to ask me how long I've been in the restaurant business, that I should have told you I had children with me... to feel that much animosity and condescension radiating from you and your words, i couldn't even believe you were acting that way in front of your staff. I sat back down and just told you to let us know when we can be seated. You then came ALL the way around your counter, come up to the waiting area with all the other people waiting and leaned down in my face to repeat yourself:" how long have you been in the restaurant business, because you should have told me you had children" i was so shocked we got up immediately and walked out. I told my family to get in the car, and i CAME RIGHT BACK. You were just informing one of your other hostesses, "we are no longer doing 6 tops," crossing my name off vigorously. I then told you that it was my daughters 15th birthday, that i have SO MANY kids because my husband and i foster and adopt, and have never been treated so dismissively and unprofessional in my life and hope you don't treat anyone else the way you did us, and that we wont be back. I was not rude. I was honest. You were rude to ask me multiple times how long I've been in the restaurant business. I've worked in the service industry my whole life. I've never spoken to a customer like that, never ignored a guest, and never condescendingly asked them if they work in their line of business just to prove a point. But funny enough, i have been a private chef for years and have cooked for many people my whole life and never have i ever treated a client, stranger, or even an unhappy customer the way you treated me and my family . You could see i had small children. We were seated directly in your line of sight, we didn't complain until double the time came and gone. You even said you recognize us from frequent visits to your other restaurant. To get in my face and do that in front of other guests in front of my kids was deplorable. I was seated in a chair and you came at me, I also remember you walking away and saying that same thing "you came at me first " like you were validated in talking to me like you wanted to show your true colors. Well, you did. The other owners of that space never had a problem seating my family. I don't need to tell you how to run a business because we went straight to Einstein Bagels, sat down, and ate great food with great customer service on a very busy morning with no problem. You can call me any time, it wasn't heated for me, just really sad and disappointed. If you were heated, you can take that somewhere else. I know the business because I have a passion for food and serving others. Your customers are the most important. Local businesses supporting each other is also important. Maybe you've been in it for too long to see how you acted because in no way anyone else would have taken that kind of behavior. read more

We are from out of town and in Redding to visit family. When we got to the restaurant, it was a little bit of a wait, but now I know why. There was not one staff member that didn't have a smile on their face. Everyone was so incredibly kind. Our 3yr old about lost his mind over the pancakes--we've never seen him eat so much! We all enjoyed our meals, they were fresh and fantastic. The energy in the restaurant is so cozy and welcoming, it was so clean, and the food was great. This will be our go to spot everytime we visit! 10/10! read more

Amazing coffee. Food was delicious. Cozy and relaxing atmosphere. Service was quick, helpful, and kind.

Fun old building, lots of history. Glad we checked it out. ! Staff were friendly and efficient! Fun coffee and tea drinks. My son had veggie omelette which was huge!

Deja Vu - Exterior - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Redding, California

The service was very, very good and is the top thing I can recommend. There is nothing lacking for condiments. My "2. The Depot" was a good omelette, and we also had a pumpkin pancake which was good. The cappuccino tasted like coffee with froth on top. The big disappointment was the hash browns, which tasted like they'd been fried in fish oil. Avoid them. You'll likely have to pay for parking across the street. Pick and choose and you'll do fine. read more

Had an excellent breakfast at Deja Vu. Service was great even on a busy Saturday morning. Well worth the short wait to get in. Had French toast, eggs and bacon. Bacon was cooked perfectly. Everything was excellent. Mother had a bacon and eggs with a great fruit cup. All fresh and seasonal. Would highly recommend this place again. read more

Me and my family's favorite breakfast and cafe in town. I love that you can check in for your table and then grab coffee while you wait. The food is always really good and the atmosphere is so nice. I don't have any complaints. read more

1.5 stars. Staff was nice but the food was maybe worse than chain breakfast restaurants.

I used to go here years ago and the food was pretty good, The last couple times that I wenthe food was absolutely terrible. The waitresses were all rude. It was very loud The place was dirty and the prices have gone way up. Super expensive do not recommend. Like I said, used to be a very good place. Things have gone way downhill the food is inconsistent now and very pricey. I started going to Corbett's downtown as well. And they are amazing. The food is consistent every single time. Great quality very clean place family owned I recommend going there read more

Food was great. New location was great. Busy place but service was excellent, and did not feel rushed to leave even while people were waiting to be seated. read more

What a sweet cafe! While in the Redding area I visited this charming place for breakfast. Service was exceptional, food was hot and tasty, with a delightful atmosphere. I will definitely visit again. I tried the jalapeño bacon, (because it seemed interesting) and I was not disappointed! The home fries were a hit. This place has it going on! read more

Great waitress, amazing coffees choices & all around friendly place! Try for yourself!

Love the food and service there, the young workers can have an attitude but it's fine. It's expensive but the food is good, and the wait time isn't that bad read more

Breakfast just ok....eggs over medium, sausage, French toast. All not what I had hoped for. Service good ... comfortable booths. read more

First I must say this place is really cute. The booths are nice and comfy. The tall blonde lady with the pony tail was rude. Our waitress was extremely nice and welcoming thankfully. I ordered the Elephant Vanilla Chai Latte made with soy milk. It was extremely good and creamy. My Veggie Eggs Benedict was great as well. The eggs were perfectly cooked and yolk was runny (which is my favorite part) The hollandaise Sauce was really good to. My hubbys food was good as well. read more

The food is great, but my goal in writing this review is for the owner to review their printed menu. My wife and I ordered the classic egg meal which the menu showed included eggs, hashbrowns, choice of meat and choice of toast/biscuit/pancakes, all for $9.99. I was surprised to discover that the choice of meat that is offered is an additional $3.99 on top of the $9.99 for the meal. The menu does not reflect that. A previous time, I had ordered the depot omelette and the menu makes it seem that you get four meats in it. You don't. It's a choice of one meat, but again the printed menu does not reflect that. Please be honest with your customers and reprint your menus to reflect what you're actually offering. Additional to respond to the owner: The screenshots of your menu are not the current menu since you relocated. The new menu is printed in a modern gray. Your pricing then was honest, your current printed menu is not. read more

A tail of failing service: This was my third visit to this establishment. Pre-pandemic, in 2019 I thoroughly enjoyed the place and hand very fond memories of of their food, service and atmosphere. This year I returned there a month ago to have a "send off to college" breakfast with my kid. Food was enjoyable, yet service clearly slid in quality. Yesterday, my wife was craving eggs Benedict and she got the most remarkable breakfast. My own dish ended up being disappointingly bland. Yet a thing that prompted this review was an utter deterioration of service. Ms. Lauren (at least was a name on a check) was neglectful, did not check in, provide refills and charged us for coffee that never came. While I did not have a heart not to tip, I don't think I will spend a dollar there again. read more

Incredible breakfast, and if your table is not ready yet you can enjoy a creative variety of coffee and tea at the cafe bar, "Deja Brew." Once you get to the meal, you are in for a treat pretty much no matter what you order, though their breakfast is unparalleled in Redding. read more

Awesome Sunday Morning brunch spot. I went with a group of friends we waited about 40 minutes to be seated. Let me tell you it was worth the wait, the fresh OJ was excellent start. The service was sharp, she took time to explain the most popular items and even let us alter our orders without hesitation. The Pancakes are decent and the Chicken Fried Steak was tender and flavorful. The Gravy was tasty not to greasy the homemade biscuits complimented it well. Next time we in Redding I'll be sure to keep this spot in mind. read more

My wife and I went there to have breakfast. The food was pretty average. Nothing special. Several seats in booths were worn and torn. Service average. She had the pumpkin pancakes and I had French toast. read more

Normally we would just eat somewhere along the I-5 corridor as we pass through Redding. However this time we ventured a few miles west off Hwy I-5 and were not disappointed. Deja Vu was delicious and fresh. Staff was friendly and the owner had a heart of gold that took pride at her establishment. Highly recommend this place! And based on the line out-the-door, others think the same too! read more

Déjà vù, a French term that literally means "already seen". But nothing could have prepared me for this, for nobody has seen the likes of what I encountered here. 2.5 stars because the first time I ordered from here the food was good. But this last time, I don't even know what to say. The menu lists what's on the food, you order the food, and then there's extra stuff. But not stuff you can just pick off if you don't want it. The most vile of sandwich items: pickles. Don't like 'em? Too bad. They've soaked into all your food and everything reeks of their putrid stench. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, which according to the menu comes with lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. Nothing more. Not even a spread is mentioned. Knowing that there must be some sort of trap, I emphasized that I didn't want any surprise mayonnaise, because there is almost always mayonnaise, even if it is not stated in the list-o-ingredients. I also chose the side salad, because I don't want something fried. I get my order and there aren't just a couple little slices of pickle on the sandwich, where was like an entire handful of them, plus another heaping serving of them ON THE SALAD! Nowhere on the menu does it state that pickles are involved on either of these items, and yet there they were, like some sort of cruel punishment for something I did in a past life. And before you ask, no I wasn't rude, I didn't even place the order. This was a group takeout order for work. It was called in and picked up by a very nice co worker. So there you have it. I went hungry that day. Beware fellow restaurant patrons, if you don't like surprises on your food, and like me, you feel that the menu serves a specific purpose (telling you what you can expect on your food!), then double check with your server before placing your order, and be sure to ask all sorts of questions that you shouldn't have to ask (like "do you put pickles in your salad?"), because you may suffer the same fate as I did on the day of the crime. read more

Deja Vu - Wow thanks for the pickles that aren't mentioned on the menu. Couldn't eat anything, I hate pickles! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Redding, California

On my way home from Redding we decided to take a quick stop for some breakfast. We stubbled upon this restaurant and thought let's give the nightclub sounding brunch place a try. We were greeted by some friendly employees and got a seat in the tall booths. We went ahead and order the Cinnamon bun which was bigger than expected but definitely tasted good. The rest of our meal came. My potatoes were slightly over cooked and didn't feel like I received enough sauce with my eggs Benedict but otherwise the food tasted good. It wasn't amazing but it was good. I have to say the service was definitely good they refilled our water and coffee and constantly checked in on us even with a busy restaurant. read more

Do you ever feel like you've been somewhere before? Well with this place you want to keep coming back so you always feel like that here. This is me and my best friends go to spot when we find ourselves in Redding. It's also our thing to take a photo in the same spot every time! That's our Deja Vu vibe. Street parking is kind of hard sometimes but there's a parking garage across the street so you don't have to look far. Once you get inside chances are it's going to be busy for the restaurant but make time to check out the coffee shop!!! There's a restaurant on one side and a coffee shop on the other. We tend to hit up the coffee shop side but opted to try the restaurant this past time. It was great. But, I will say the coffee shop part is my all time favorite. I always get the London Fog and my bestie gets the White Mocha. LOVE! Also, you have to try the giant cinnamon rolls. It's a must. Such a fun casual vibe and the baristas are always so nice. I cannot say it enough, we LOVE DEJA VU!!! It's a place you keep coming back to. read more

I always love trying new things and this place did not disappoint. I am very critical when it comes to eggs Benedict and these were very good. The home fries were nice and crispy.

Found this lovely little place one our way through town and had the best breakfast and service! It was my dads birthday, and he got a free cinnamon roll that was delish! We had the mushroom omelet, BAS Benedict, corn beef hash and a biscuit. All highly recommend. To top it all off, our server, Heather, was absolutely delightful! All the staff worked together to make sure we were taken care of, things were cleared, cups were full. Very well run and highly recommended! read more
