I ordered the Juevos Rancheros. oh boy, what a delicious breakfast! This place doesn't have the best ambiance, but it's worth it for the food and kind staff. Parking can be tricky as the lot only has spots for a handful of cars. read more

Dierk's Parkside Cafe - Juevos Huevos Ranchero Style - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

I love this little neighborhood cafe; high quality cooking, creativity, and quality fresh, often local ingredients located right on the edge of Luther Burbank home and gardens neighborhood, adjacent the lovely Juilliard park, and the artsy retro Astro Motel. It's an excellent location for a walk after either through the lovely gardens and neighborhood, or the nicely shaded park. This time I got 1/2 order of the Braised port Benedict a perfectly and not overly spicy dish of grilled poblano chili, onion, mushroom, tomatoes, hollandaise sauce, & spicy sauce topping sour dough bread and an egg Any way you like it (two eggs and more bread/ food on full order). Half order was $11.25, filled me perfectly, as I'm a woman. Full order would have been $19.50. It was super tasty, meat tender, veggies fresh. My hubby got the corned bread hash topped with 2 eggs as you like and cheddar ($19.50). He loved it and ate the whole thing. My son just got two eggs, bacon, hash browns and sourdough toast, he was happy; they use quality bacon ($17.95). We also got a child's cheese burger for $8.95.( huge burger!). The entire meal was only $63.20 before tip! Well we didn't get coffee this time because we already had some home, might have added $10 more. Their refillable coffee is excellent, i forget the brand but a gourmet French roast tasting option. Usually i get because it is so good. read more

So delicious! The warm cinnamon roll was a tasty bite paired with the homemade raspberry jam, it was light and fluffy and not too cloying or topped with any heavy icing. My country benedict was tasty and hearty, big portion size, perfectly cooked veggies, crispy crunchy hash-browns and runny egg yolk to sop it all up. The chicken fried steak was insane on a buttery biscuit the chicken was not dry at all super juicy and crispy. Great breakfast spot would definitely recommend! read more

Waitress was very kind and shared the popular dishes. I really enjoyed my breakfast and the sitting area outside, including tables to sit inside as well. I will say, I wasn't too fond of the man/employee serving water. He was really rude. read more

Picked this spot for breakfast based on Yelp reviews. We were picking up a relative at the Santa Rosa airport. Reviews were right. Cute little spot with excellent food and friendly service. We shared a cinnamon fry bread pull apart, a breakfast burrito off the menu and a breakfast burrito daily special. Food tasty. Staff pleasant and efficient. A good choice for a diner stop in Danta Rosa. read more

Great breakfast place when you want some classic American breakfast food options. Good portions size for the cost. Food 4/5 stars. Service has been great when I visit. Friendly staff and food come out at a reasonable time. Service 5/5 stars. Ambiance is a diner style location with a rustic feel to it. 3/5 stars. read more

We did not have a good experience here. I ordered the fruit with greek yogurt and cereal parfait. The grapes in it was fermented, and it gave a really unpleasant, extremely sour taste that in the end contaminated all of it. I couldn't finish it. The waitress took half price (!!!) off. What irks me here is that the kitchen must have known about it, and yet, they had the audacity to serve something like this. This should tell you all you need to know on how they treat the customer. read more

I had the country Benedict, brilliant, one of a kind, saw the ingredients and had to try it. It did not disappoint! The staff are all amazing! The service is quick, incredible! If I lived in the area, this would be a regular spot for sure!! If you're a hot sauce lover, they of all kinds on the tables, a bonus if you will. read more

I was in town for a few days and I hadn't been here in years so I suggested it to my friend and we went for breakfast on Black Friday. The food was very good, although they put the gravy on top of my eggs instead of on top of my chicken fried steak, which confuses me. Our waitress was pretty scattered and forgot several things. Minus one star. read more

I always love coming here. They have an extensive menu that always features new interesting items. The service is top notch as well. I came In With my toddler today and as soon as we sat down one of the chefs at the line asked me if she wanted pancakes. Minutes later a kids pancake order was out and I had a chance to actually look at the menu. Great establishment and I highly recommend visiting. read more

This little diner has some absolutely amazing food. My wife and I stopped by on a cold January Sunday morning. We were on a waitlist, but a worker asked us if we wanted to sit outside, we noticed they had heat lamps, so decided to take an outdoor table. Our waitress, who was super friendly and helpful, arrived at our table within a few minutes to take our order. After a couple of minutes of conversation our order arrived. I had a veggie omelette and my wife had the corned beef hash. Lets just say few words were spoken after our meals arrived. Everything was fantastic. Even the coffee was delicious. Located just a few minutes away from downtown Santa Rosa. This is the perfect place to go after a night of wine or beer tasting/drinking. read more

Well in Santa Rosa I decided to try another breakfast spot. Glad I did. This place has the classic café look and parking was fairly easy. I sat at the bar with a great view of the kitchen. I kept it basic and ordered the pancake breakfast with bacon and eggs. The pancakes are made with a homemade recipe that is very delicious. Highly recommend. Bacon and eggs were just as I like them. The owner happened to be there and was very friendly but the star of the show was his staff as they all seem to be in a very good mood and the vibe there was what really gives this place five stars in my opinion. I'll definitely be coming back and trying some new delicious items read more

We came here for breakfast on a weekday and they were moderately busy, mostly all locals who clearly eat there regularly. I say that because when people walked in, the server immediately brought coffee to their table and made conversation that indicated they were regulars... this is telling about a place, if the locals eat there on a regular basis, there's probably something good about the place. In this case, they offered so many great/appetizing items on the menu that it was tough to choose what to eat. I asked the server which was best from a few items that looked appetizing to me and she told me to go with the chicken biscuit... this was a great piece of advise, as that was a very tasty breakfast entrée! The hash browns that came with it were incredible too! The gravy on top of the biscuit was excellent... batter on the chicken was perfect too! My wife got the veggie bowl and she absolutely loved it. It definitely looked really good and was loaded with a nice assortment of veggies! Overall - Great breakfast was had here... Stop in and try it for yourself! read more

I'm happy to see this place still here. It's been over 5 years since I've been. It's a small place, though they do have some outdoor tables. Limited menu, though diverse. I was seated immediately upon entering, and the waitress came by and acknowledged my presence. I appreciate that. I ordered the country benedict and it was very tasty. A fresh bread slice with spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, bacon and poached eggs with hollandais sauce, served with hashbrowns. read more

You can't go wrong with anything you order at this place. I've been twice and I ordered the corn beef hash. 10/10! And the service was awesome. The waitresses are attentive and funny and the vibes just feel like you're eating at someone's house. Definitely recommend! read more

Had my car in the shop and swung by here for some breakfast as I have heard good things. Service: friendly, warm but not fake, attentive but not intrusive Food: everything I ate was plus quality. I had an omelette with tomatoes, cheddar, and bacon. All ingredients were good quality. Fresh chopped tomatoes not taco bell tomatoes here. Toast perfectly toasted and delicious strawberry jam table side. Hashed browns easily the best with slight crisp on outside and soft and buttery inside. Cinnamon bread was decent and a good twist but nothing to write home about as was my coffee. Price: in sync with quality. At or -slightly- higher than my previous go to spot, but worth it. This place is appropriate at 4 stars. Honestly I feel it is between 4 and 5 but I am a hard rater so I go 4. If the coffee was a bit better and cinnamon bread would be a solid 5 but honestly a true 4.X here. The sign outside may be run down a but inside is nice enough too. read more

Disclaimer first: They DON'T serve waffles daily (only occasionally). Aside from that initial disappointment (after seeing a photo of a delicious waffle on their page) we had a wonderful breakfast. The chilaquiles special is as delicious!!! We ate outside in the "bench" and the service was fantastic! read more

This spot was incredible and we cannot wait to come back. Husband had the country benedict and I had the huevos rancheros. We devoured them both! We also tried the dough pull apart and took a slice of peach pie togo. AMAZING! Our server was busyyy, running the whole place by herself but was also helpful and kind! They have indoor and outdoor seating, very cute and homey :) read more

I wanted a breakfast burrito, but did not want what was on the menu. I was told I could make a custom burrito...yum! The flavor was basic but yummy, I really liked the salsa on the side. It was very busy but we were seated quickly and served quickly. There were lots of dogs and I saw the owner passing out dog treats, so cute. There was also a water station that we helped outsell to as we waited. My only complaints are that there was nowhere to wait besides the parking lot and that the condiments and table were a little dusty. If you want a classic, casual place to go for American food, this is your place :) read more

Good food no doubt. The fries are like InNout so i wouldn't expect any complaints about this. I had the fried chicken sandwich which was more like a giant chicken nugget with a curry slaw on top, not bad. I do like sticking with the Impossible burger though. read more

We stumbled upon this cafe while looking for a breakfast spot on the way to the Sonoma County fair. It's in a lower income neighborhood and I nearly backed away when driving by, but decided to give it a shot as saw a line outside and glad we did. They have a nice outdoor seating area under a shaded covering, and inside is your basic diner seating including counters. We were seated promptly outside and the waitress was pleasant. I ordered the chiliqiles special and it was huge and really good, with scrambled egg, avocado, chirizo and salsa. Husband had the duck confit special and liked it, though the duck leg was a little small. Coffee wasn't the best, but seems like a mom and pop place that has been around forever. We walked to the flea market one block down afterwards and bought some "used" tools. Overall would recommend if you are in the area and hungry for good food. read more

I had heard so many good things at work and in other places about this cafe and today I finally tried it and was very impressed!!! I ordered the Country Benedict and the ingredients were all very fresh, the eggs were poached just right, and the Hollandaise sauce on top of the baguettes was so unusual and delightful! What a creative, ingenious, and delicious way to make this dish! read more

Don't judge a book by its cover...unless you like your covers to be gritty, underground, killer breakfast spots! In town for my Mom's 91st birthday. Staying across the street at the Astro. As I was walking out to my car, I pulled up yelp to look for a good breakfast house. I look up and notice right across the street is the Parkside Cafe. Yelp showed good reviews so I placed an order for one of my "usuals": breakfast sando with eggs, bacon and cheddar cheese on toast. I headed over for the pick up. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice and hip the interior was. Open kitchen right up front. You could see the passion in the main chef. Food excellent. Setting super hip. Good parking in the area. Worth the drive over. read more

Best breakfast Food, service and the best cinnamon rolls around. Corned beef hash is awesome.

Dierk's Parkside Cafe it's a really good breakfast place. The food and service is always great. This is my second time. I stopped by over the weekend last month and I always noticed it gets busy but it's worth the wait. Parking could be limited at times but not hard to find. They are open from 7am until 1:30pm every day except for Thursdays. This is a really good breakfast spot. Definitely will continue to come back. Until next time. Chao! read more

This is hands down one of my go-to spots for a quick yet delicious, hearty, and satisfying breakfast. I've been here a million times and have never left disappointed. The service is always fast and efficient, the ambiance is comforting and homey, and the food is outstanding. They have indoor and shaded outdoor seating, but parking can be very scarce, as this place can get packed. I frequently rotate between their Country Benedict, Omelettes, Duck Confit, Chicken Benedict, and Louisiana Hash. They never miss. The pancakes are good, too! Also, I absolutely love duck, and they happily add or substitute duck to any entree for an extra charge. Although their current Duck Confit with the onion marmalade is good, I really miss their previous Duck Confit recipe with the warm apples and raisins. Overall, the menu is fantastic, and the cooks do an excellent job. Lastly, I love the unique mimosa flavors they rotate!! My favorites are the Lavender Meyer Lemon and Rose Hibiscus. I wish the Lavender Meyer Lemon flavor were always available because I'm obsessed. Love this place. I'll continue to be a regular! read more
