    Chorizo breakfast burrito

    Had my Chorizo Breakfast Burrito and An Espresso Over whip. Wow my power breakfast morning meal.

    One of the best breakfast burritos I have ever had in Rancho. Highly recommended & made fresh once you order it

    One of the best breakfast burrito & highly recommended if you support mom n pops shops

    Breakfast Box. $4.00 Eggs, potatoes, sausage & cheese. What a Deal!

    Food was great, service is friendly, price is extremely low. 2 tables and a counter inside. 3 tables outside.

    Try the Chicken Bacon Ranch, It's Awesome

    Since I found this tucked away Gold Mine, we have gone back every Tuesday to enjoy the food at Francos Cafe. So many things to choose from. Just had the Chicken Tenders and Fries, one of my favorites. This Mom and Pop shop serves Breakfast and Lunch items. They have a Breakfast special starting out at $3.70. Their breakfast burritos are packed, the Chicken Sandwiches are gigantic. Very big!!!! They have salads also. Opened Monday thru Friday. it's a great choice. Off Hwy 50 at Zinfandel exit. Everything is so tasty. Seating inside and outside. Great prices and very friendly owners. Give it a try!!!! It also has Hamburgers and Hot Dogs!

    O Cafe has a charming French café vibe, the kind of place where the dessert case immediately…read morecatches your attention and makes it almost impossible to choose just one thing. I picked up the raspberry mango mousse, key lime pie, and madeleines to go, and everything was delicious. The raspberry mango mousse was light and fruity, the key lime pie had that perfect sweet and tangy balance, and the madeleines were a great little treat to take home. Their desserts are beautifully presented, and everything I've tried here has delivered on flavor too. There's something fun about browsing the case and picking out a few different pastries and desserts. It feels like a little taste of a Parisian café with a little Fair Oaks personality mixed in. Rex Tip: Explore beyond your usual order and try something new from the dessert case/ menu they never disappoint. And if you sit outside, don't be surprised if a few chickens wander by your table! They're part of the Fair Oaks culture and charm, and honestly, they're pretty cute. Just plan your visit because they close early: 5 PM on weekdays, 6 PM on Saturday, and 3 PM on Sunday. 5 ROARS from Focusaurus Rex

    Bella Bru Cafe Review August 02, 2026…read more Came in around 1:50 PM on a weekend. There was no greeting, not even a simple "hi." It had a very "figure it out yourself" kind of atmosphere. We let that slide and eventually found the printed menu ourselves. The menu clearly stated that breakfast is served until 2 PM, but we were told the breakfast kitchen had already closed early. There was no sign or notice saying this. We only found out from the cashier, who seemed only half attentive. She was still chatting with a coworker while finishing the order of the couple ahead of us and seemed more focused on the conversation than on customers. I ordered the tuna melt. The butter on the grilled white bread left an old, stale aftertaste that I had to wash down with their drip coffee. The sandwich was also poorly balanced. Instead of slicing the avocado properly, they stuffed what looked like half an avocado into it, leaving me with a bulging sandwich that had more avocado than tuna. Compared to a tuna sandwich from Quiznos or Subway at about half the price, this felt like a rip-off. Unfortunately, we still gave them another chance and ordered a slice of carrot cake. We noticed that several customers who ordered after us received their cake much sooner, even though all the server had to do was slice it from the display. Our order was served last, despite being one of the simplest. Overall, the food was overpriced, the service was inattentive, and the experience left a lot to be desired. We won't be coming back.

The cafe has 2 sides to sit in and is decorated with decorations of the current holiday. We had the sweetest server, Debbie, and she made sure that the coffee cups on our table were always filled with hot coffee. My father in law had the French Toast and crispy bacon. It was a large portion of French Toast and the bacon was cooked perfectly. My husband ordered the Ham egg scramble with pancakes. He said his eggs were light, fluffy and very good. His 2 pancakes were large and looked really fluffy too.... I took a bite of his pancake and it has great flavor and was perfectly cooked. I ordered the veggie omelette With Jack cheese. I was able to substitute no zucchini for sausage. I choose crispy hash browns and a biscuit on the side with a side of biscuits and gravy gravy. My omelette was a 3 egg omelette, my hash browns were a perfect crispy and the side of biscuits and sausage gravy was flavorful and very good. They serve breakfast and lunch and all of their food is reasonably priced. A few lunch items, like fish n chips or a French dip are only $12.50...not too pricey at all. If you are looking for delicious hot food, friendly servers and reasonable prices this is the place for you. We will definitely be going back to The Hungry Halloween Cafe soon!

Unfortunately, we left wondering how it has such a high rating. I ordered the Country Scramble. The potatoes seemed boiled rather than fried and were very soft and mushy. That made the entire scramble watery and mushy as well. On the positive side, the sourdough toast was good. The biggest issue, though, was the cleanliness. In the bathroom, I saw three dead cockroaches and what appeared to be rat droppings around the edges of the floor. That was extremely unpleasant and honestly made it difficult to feel comfortable eating there. Based on our experience with both the food and cleanliness, my wife and I would not recommend Hungry Hollow Café, and we would not return. I rarely leave a review like this, but cleanliness in a restaurant is something I take seriously.

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.

What a surprise! I arrived around 10:30 and was the only client there. The office building itself seemed quite empty of tenants too. Not sure of what was going on in the building. The security guard was very nice and escorted me to the restaurant. I was still in time for breakfast. They had a special which I ordered. I thought it took a bit longer than it should have - an omelet and some sausage and a prebaked muffin with coffee that I served myself - but it was all good. They seemed to be working on a lot of catering orders for lunch. A mother and son came in, ordered one meal and shared it. The space is large, open, and bright. It just seemed temporary to me - not like a restaurant wanting to diners but a place to prepare their catering orders and IF a random person suddenly appeared, they could be fed. This is not an area that I frequent and so the likelihood of returning is small - not because the food wasn't tasty or the restaurant itself was unacceptable. It just is out of the way for me and though was good, I was not wowed enough to find my way back for a meal. However, if you are in the area, please check them out. A mom and pop operation that deserves support.
