I am always open to finding new restaurants and cafes and this is a match with one of my favorite genres, a diner vibe. So, I was glad when a friend of mine from the area brought me here. The place had quite a few patrons when we got there mid-morning, but the service was still attentive and the food came quickly, sooner than I expected in fact. I ordered their corned beef hash and their servings were generous, nothing extraordinary, but certainly competent. I usually take a photo of my order, but somehow on this visit, I had a brain lapse. :-) The place was clean, it had good spirit and I've no complaints. I am always glad to support mom-n-pops and small businesses and this fits right in center what I endorse and encourage others to support. Happy eats to all of you.

This place is cute, small, but people come and go relatively quickly. We went around 10/10:30 and were seated immediately. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive, food came out quickly. There was an older gentleman walking around filling coffees and giving people with to go containers bags. Very friendly place. I'd say the only downside is that there is nowhere to wait. We couldn't walk out without asking people to move since so many people were crowded just inside and on the sidewalk right outside. My dad loved his omelet and everyone else liked their food too. My eggs Benedict had fully cooked eggs which really takes from the allure of eggs Benedict BUT they loaded it up with hollandaise so I didn't complain!

Service was great. Staff checked on us regularly. Amazingly it was fully staffed. A lot of restaurants are still under staffed since Covid. Food fresh and hot. Did not like the country potatoes. They should chop the bell pepper up. Very reasonable. Had three plates and spent $44.

Ever go to a restaurant and find everything perfect well that was the case. Best coffee I've ever had in my life outside my house quite delicious it pays just to go is just to try the coffee. Services quick and efficient despite the place being very busy and packed with most good restaurants are. I will be coming here again I give it a grade a.

A solid 4 1/2 stars, just shy of a five. I'm always looking for new breakfast spots, and when I found this on the web, I decided to stop in. It's a nice little café, it is apparently very popular. Even at 9 AM on a Thursday morning, it was busy. I was seated at a table right away. The place is clean, and everybody was friendly. The menu is big, and I decided to go for the shrimp and avocado omelette. Shrimp, avocado, bell peppers, onions, and jack cheese. I am not a fan of bell peppers, so I asked if they could swap the bell peppers out for mushrooms. They said sure, no problem. Also, instead of potatoes, I asked for fruit, and I got a nice bowl of very fresh fruit. The omelette was delicious! A generous portion of avocado, and also a generous portion of decently sized shrimp. These were not your little cocktail shrimp, people! The shrimp were delicious. The eggs were good, and all of the Fixins just played really well together. I really enjoyed it. The coffee was good, and they kept my cup full. The only thing that takes off a half a star, was the biscuit. I asked for a biscuit instead of toast. The biscuit was small, and it was not light and fluffy, it was a bit chewy for my personal taste. Next time, I will just order toast or an English muffin. The price was very reasonable, and they also offer a military/veterans discount. Other than that one tiny thing, I really enjoyed my meal. I plan on coming back. Thank you!

Stopped in for the first time today. The wait staff were very friendly and attentive. We sat outside on the patio. The food was good and my husband loved the pancakes. We will be back.

With an incredibly tempting amount of food choices, this place is much more than your typical diner. I had the Santa Fe Skillet, which arrived at our table still sizzling, and my daughter had the Denver omelet. Both were delicious. The servers are friendly and very attentive with their offers of water and coffee refills. We will have to go back and try the dishes we couldn't get this time.

This place looks really run down and outdated. Service and food was mediocre and trust me I am being generous in saying that. I ordered a very basic breakfast combo. The french toast came out looking extremely under-cooked resembling regular buttered toast and tasting of pure egg. The server whose primary language is not English (which is totally fine) except that she didn't understand when I told her about 3 different ways that the french toast was under-cooked and I would like it cooked longer and it should have more of a brown color. She comes back 10 minutes later with an identical slice of "french toast" At that point I knew I wasn't going to get cooked french toast and had lost my appetite from the raw egg batter toast and frustration of not wanting to keep waiting for the same terrible food. She came back around a little while later and asked if it was better and I told her it was not. I showed her a picture of what french toast looked like and she didn't seem to comprehend. No apology no offer for a replacement item, no nothing. So we left. Fast forward about 8 hours later and I spent half the evening in the bathroom with the worst diarrhea and stomach cramps. I didn't have anything else to eat that day so it could have only been the food I ate and I am guessing it was the raw egg from the "french toast." The pictures I took showing the first one they brought out and the second one that was supposedly "cooked longer" actually make the french toast look more cooked than it was because they keep the lights dimmed incredibly low inside for some reason with all of the shades down. We honestly didn't even know if it was open or not because it looks closed from the outside. I highly recommend finding another spot to eat. This place isn't it!

We enjoyed having breakfast here this morning! A family member referred us, and after checking them out on Yelp, we were confident to give them a try. Our server was so nice and proficient. I didn't get her name and I'm kicking myself for it. There was a large group of people (10+) who had their orders in before us, and although the wait was not long at all (maybe 10mins?) she made sure to check on us frequently and was apologetic for the wait. We were in no rush, but I respected and appreciated her attentiveness. Hubby ordered the prime rib skillet and I ordered the meat lover's omelet. We both loved our dishes! Prices are great for the quality of food, coffee has good flavor, and their menu has many great options! We will definitely return when we are in town. read more

So this was my first time here, and it's a nice establishment but I was seriously unimpressed by the food. It was sooooooo bland. I didn't even know it was possible to have salsa that didn't taste like anything. I mean the portions are large which is cool, but I guess I was expecting more. read more

Breakfast burrito is the only good thing. Took my gf there, got the special steak one time. It came out not even cooked lol outside was good but once you cut in it, still completely raw. I eat steak regularly and like it rare, but this one was still beating. They did take it back and finish cooking it and took it off our bill but still. Not good. They also brought our food out one plate at a time, instead of doing it all at once, it was awkward. read more

I will never set foot in this place again. On Saturday May 11TH my friend and I went there for breakfast. Noticed the owner was sweeping while the floor behind us while we were eating. Which is a no no. We continued eating and having our conversation, a waitress came by to asked if we were OK? I said yes, she proceeded to take our plates. We both said that we weren't finished, this waitress looked me in the eyes and said don't lie to ma'am. Got the manager over spoke to my In Spanish and said she young and she was going to talk to her. No apologies no nothing. We still paid the full bill and left. NEVER AGAIN. read more

Erica's Cafe has become one of my favorite breakfast restaurant. Everything we have tried is great, and they have amazing customer service. Is a small family business that thrives to make a difference and they do show it. The Chilaquiles with T-bone steak is by far the best, well for me. My kids have enjoyed everything they order, and they are picky, lol. And to only think I almost didn't come here because of some Yelp reviews, lol. It has been a great experience so far. They are always busy, and that's for a good reason. They keep the coffee coming!! read more

I should have left as soon as I walked in. I was not greeted right away. I sat down and got the menu. The lady took too long to come over to take my order. Mind you it is not busy at all. I get my food and hash browns are burnt so they "remade" them. The cook literally just took the top half off and scattered the inside back on my plate. I had finished and was waiting for my receipt. I never got one. I had to walk up to the front to pay. I was disappointed as I thought this place was going to be a gem based off all the other Yelp reviews. read more

My fiancé and I stopped in to this quaint little cafe for a quick bite and were quite surprised at what we discovered! Their menu was pretty large considering the cafe closes at 5pm. Everything from breakfast, lunch & dinner, to salads & soup. And the best part, well one of the best parts, the prices are fantastically reasonable! The other best part is the food tasted wonderful! I had pork chops ($12.99) and my fiancé had a T-bone steak ($17.99). The only bad part was the chops & the T-bone steak were very thin. I would have given Erica's Cafe 5 stars instead of 4 's.... I do recommend this Cafe tho, the food was great & the staff is wonderful and very friendly. Try it out and see for yourself! read more

My boyfriend and I had never been here, but it's so close to us and we were definitely missing out until now! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was amazing! All the staff was so kind and welcoming when serving us. On our way out after we ate, we noticed they had flan in their dessert case. We decided to take two slices home because I am in LOVE with flan, but haven't found a place near us that has good flan since moving down here. This flan was SO GOOD. My boyfriend and I were literally eating it before we even got back home, it was a perfect flan texture and had just the right taste of Caramel and vanilla.

The food wasn't bad. The service was good . If I had realized, before I had ordered, that I would have to try to eat a meal with Fox "news" on the TVs surrounding me, I would've walked right out . Why would you alienate 2/3 of your customers right off the bat by putting that garbage up on your walls ? I love to support local businesses and will continue to do so, just not THIS local business .

We saw that it was 5 stars when reviewed. Unfortunately the service wasn't that good, came in and people were waiting for their order. Coffee was bland (weak) order taken and it took over 15 minutes to come. Something was wrong with the other people's order and they proceeded to converse loudly between the two tables. Our order came and the house potatoes were cold, toast was stiff (very hard) and broke the skin on the top of our mouths. Only good thing was their potato salad. The hot pastrami was warm and again the bread was toasted and hard to bite into, top of mouth is raw and there was no pickle with my sandwich. We usually don't complain but we had to. They compensated us a little, but we won't be going back. read more

I wanted breakfast after shopping across the street at Green Acres. This place popped up on Google with high ratings. I had a bowl of grits, and it wasn't anything special. It tasted like bland rice porridge. I haven't found anything close to grits like they make it in South or when I make it myself. The chicken fried steak was a hamburger patie the size of 1 McDonald's big mac beef patty. It's cheap to eat here, but it's not a place I'll go out of my way for.

Tucked away in the corner of a shopping center lies this gem of a cafe!…read more I met up with a friend for brunch and brought our babies along. There was lots of parking right in front of the restaurant that made getting inside super convenient. There was plenty of room for us to sit at a large table with our babies in high chairs & strollers nearby. Inside the cafe is decorated very nicely. The staff were so kind and welcoming too. I ordered a mocha and the sweet cheese crepes. My mocha was the perfect balance of sweetness and chocolatey! I savored every sip. The real star of the show though, were the crepes. They were perfectly soft but with a slight crisp on the outside just like I like them. The filling was sweet but not overly and was well balanced with the slight bitterness from the berry topping on the crepes. Overall the ambiance, food, and accessibility make this a great spot for brunch! Will definitely be coming back.

There is also a side area to eat, however there were a number of flies buzzing around, which made it unappetizing (this was kept my review from being a full five stars). The indoor area is a mix of dark woods and faux plants, which creates a relaxed atmosphere. As for the food, there was only one plant-based (vegan friendly) option for me: the cilantro lime avocado toast. This came topped with micro greens and pickled onions, and with a side of potatoes. The portions were very generous for the price and the food was delicious. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time and the staff were kind. I also ordered an Americano that was good. This spot is like a little hidden green jewel in Citrus Heights. I hope more businesses fill out this complex so they can continue to do well.

I'm not a fan of onions, so I did not have those, but it was nice to have the lettuce and the tomatoes have that nice taste when it hasn't been smothered in BBQ sauce or others as it's being cooked by the chicken like other places prepare them. I honestly left satisfied. This place really did live up to the recommendations and reputation it has. Our gym, Positive Impact Fitness always talks about this place and it was really worth it. I shall return in due time.

Breakfast of corned beef hash, 2 eggs and biscuit. Drank coffee…read more Plenty of food. Unfortunately not very satisfying. Biscuit particularly not good as it was doughy, wet , chewy and tasted of too much baking powder. I did like the big chunks of meat. The country potatoes were typical diner quality, but I just don't like country style breakfast potatoes. No substitution offered. Server was efficient if a bit rough around the edges. I sat at the counter. She made sure that I had everything I needed. That's okay, I'm happy enough, don't need a smile from some one who's bringing me food. Oh, yeah just like my old sourpuss mother. Now the value for the dollar issue... The breakfast was $22, the unremarkable coffee was $4.50. After tax and a $5 tip I was out the door for $33. I recently had a wwwwaaaayyy more satisfying breakfast at Mario's Early Toast for half that price. Hot off the griddle is a big improvement over a Denny's. But that's a pretty low bar for judgement. Sorry, no return for me.

It is open seating...so just choose a table and sit...the wait staff will be there soon. We started with water and ordered the mini duck tacos which were 20.00. They are very tiny. Maybe 1 or 2 bites. The duck is crispy...the shell crispy...the crema was delicious. We also ordered the sweet chili wings..ALL I CAN SAY IS OH MY GOSH...THESE WERE ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS . the order comes with five wings for $18.75. These wings are crispy with a sweet chili glaze , which is wonderful. The flavor though...they are a must try. We also ordered the Goat cheese wood fire pizza. It was 21.00 It comes with shiitake mushrooms...garlic...spinach...red onion and we added pepperoni. This pizza was incredible. The flavor was so so good. The crust was soft and perfect.

I've loved Shangri-La since it first opened. The food is always amazing and the bartenders are…read morefantastic. I live in Fair Oaks and this has become one of our go-to spots. I do have one suggestion. I completely understand and appreciate the elevated vibe they're going for--it's part of what makes the place special. That said, I think there may be a bit of a missed opportunity with the bocce ball courts. There are large signs saying kids can't play on them and must stay with adults, but honestly, I come here at least once a quarter and they're often not being used. Given the location and the number of families in the area, it could be interesting to consider adding a small playground in the back. I know that might sound unconventional for a place like this, but I've seen restaurants do this successfully in Europe. What's really missing around here is a place where parents can enjoy an incredible meal and drinks while their kids have a safe place to play nearby. Right now, the only places that come close are breweries. There are almost always families here when I visit, so just a thought! Either way, Shangri-La remains one of my favorite spots.

I recently visited Erica's Cafe on a Saturday, hoping to enjoy a relaxing brunch but unfortunately, my experience was far from pleasant. From the moment I walked in, the service was subpar. The staff seemed overwhelmed and disorganized, leading to a long wait before anyone acknowledged my presence. After finally being seated, it took another 15 minutes for a server to come and take my order. When my food finally arrived, it was not only late but also disappointing. I ordered the avocado toast, which I had heard great things about. However, the bread was stale, and the avocado was underseasoned, making the dish bland and unappetizing. My companion ordered a breakfast burrito, which was cold in the center and lacked any real flavor. It felt like the kitchen was not paying attention to the quality of the food being served. To add to the unpleasant experience, the ambiance of the cafe was noisy and chaotic, with tables too close together, making it hard to enjoy a conversation. The overall cleanliness of the place was also questionable, with crumbs and spills on the floor and tables that hadn't been properly wiped down. I had high hopes for Erica's Cafe, but the combination of poor service and lackluster food made my visit extremely disappointing. I left feeling frustrated and unsatisfied. I hope they can address these issues because the cafe has potential, but it was not realized during my visit. I won't be returning anytime soon. read more

Erica's Cafe in Citrus Heights, CA is hands down my favorite breakfast spot! This cozy cafe offers an incredible morning experience with their amazing specials. I can't get enough of their delicious veggie omelet and mouthwatering French toast served with perfectly seasoned country potatoes. The best part? Everything is made fresh in-house, ensuring top-notch quality. The coffee here is exceptional and truly rocks! On top of that, the prices are very reasonable, making it even more enjoyable. Plus, the cafe is conveniently located with plenty of parking available. Don't miss out on this gem! read more

This is one of the best small place to eat. Most of the times when we go to big chain restaurants everything looks very in personal. But the couple here is very personal and it seems like you are at one of your friends house. Food is good but little bit towards more heavy side. That is why I m giving them 4 stars. Other than that it was very nice experience. read more

The food was great but the service was pretty bad. In their defense, they were pretty busy and we were stuck in the back. The waiter and waitress was so nice though, so I feel bad for leaving the 3 star review, but my water cup remained empty and my coffee wasn't refilled the whole time. I think they actually just didn't remember we were there really read more

This is a real gem. When I'm in town, I always stop by for breakfast. The owners are so nice and attentive. They even remember what we order! The waffles are great and the coffee is fresh and delicious. Burgers are good too. Can't beat the prices either. We never have to wait for a table, which is a plus in my book. read more
