The service employees are very kind and were patient as I was super indecisive when ordering. The menu is HUGE , with many healthy options available. I love that the drinks are served in traditional Mexican clay mugs (ollas). The inside area is tiny, but there is plenty of seating outside, with heat lamps for chilly days. I love their yogurt bowl and chia bowl. Their chia pudding is THICK made with coconut cream- I've tried to recreate at home and I can't get it as delicious. We've loved their sandwiches, salads and burritos as well. Their warm come straight off the grill on the patio. Their chai, cafe de olla and fresh juices are amazing. They have alternative milk for anyone who is dairy free. On weekends, expect a 15-20 minute wait as they do get busy, but it's so worth it!

The quesabirrias were well made and stuffed, no skimping! My sister got the chilaquiles verdes and she said they were a good amount of spice for her. I got my nieces huevos con jamón and they loved it, if you have littles, make sure you cut the ham. It's cut vertically and they were big strips. I also liked that they had fruit bowls. The drinks are poured into these amazing cups. They're beautiful! The mocha wasn't my favorite but the food was the highlight, so I'm not too upset. The service was quick, fast and the people friendly. Overall, I'd take my dad there.

They had lots of delicious food jnside, something for everyone although I've never seen breakfast inside a Thai place before I always go straight for the lunch :) All the staff were very welcoming and let us take our time to order as we do get picky on what we order. Our time that we went, it was busy and they did have plenty of people who were waiting. It does tend to get busy on weekends. I do like chicken a lot after all these years and thats what I had. Overall this was a pleasurable experience, and we're going to visit soon as we're due for a visit.

It would have been five, but the waitress never brought us our appetizer so we had to ask that it would be removed from the bill at the end. The fried mushrooms were heavily greased, and was not seasoned at all and it made it seem like we were biting into nothing but crunchy oil. Was not appetizing. But it was pretty lol The crab fried rice was pretty good. I guess it was one of their specialties. The service was extremely slow. Seems like it would benefit for them to hire a few more people to run tables as it was very obvious that they could not handle the DoorDash orders along with what was going on inside of the restaurant. We had seen some people step out of the kitchen to assist with the DoorDash orders and help the girls in the front organize things. And unfortunately, the DoorDashers had to wait around for a really long time and probably ended up not getting a tip and a bad review due to the delay. Though the food did come out fast! However, it took us about 30 minutes just to get our bill. We actually never really got the Bill. We had walked up to the employees and asked if we can pay for a bill.

The service was excellent, fast, and friendly from the moment we arrived. Our waiter provided outstanding customer service, was attentive to our needs, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and our Father's Day celebration was very enjoyable. Thank you to the entire staff for making our visit special. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

This is one of my go-to places for a delicious breakfast without breaking the bank. Highly recommend!

Rosy's is one of favorite local restaurants. I had not been there in maybe a year because of health…read moreissues. Sunday was a treat! I always order the same thing- no menu needed. Chile verde omelet w/corn tortillas and a waffle. I remembered to bring my own carry out containers. They use the brown cardboard type which soaks up any juice before getting it home. Immediately, I separated my meal in half. Now, I have TWO delicious meals. I also remembered to bring my flavored coffee creamer, lime and hot sauce- I don't like Tabasco. I'm ready! Although I enjoyed my meal, these were items of disappointment: 1. I know they were constantly brewing coffee, but it tasted burnt, as if had been sitting for a long time. I was not able to "doctor" it up. I think it's a very poor quality of coffee :-(... For the price of that tiny cup of coffee, they need to do better! 2. My omelet was waaaaay smaller than ever before! It was like a two egg omelet and noticeably flat, unlike the usual omelet "hump". The Chile verde sauce was more sauce than chunks of pork. Small pieces of pork more like the size of dice! and very little of that! 3.My greatest disappointment was the potatoes!!! In the past, I loved their TRUE home fries- cubes of potatoes fried/sautéed just so, with onions, bell peppers. I often ordered a separate order of home fries to go, because I ate most of the ones that came with the meal. To my surprise, the meal came with "sliced fried potatoes", which had a greasy taste- I mean GREASy! taste. Some of them were so hard, I had to use my knife. I commented about the potatoes- the lack of onions/peppers and I was bought a side of them, but they were hard, just slightly grilled. So my home fries experience was a huge let down :'-( 4. Still one of the best waffles anywhere! Rosy's waffles are somewhere in my top 3 restaurant waffles!! Soft and spongy, evenly cooked- no need for a lot of butter and/or syrup. Note: One of the few Mexican restaurants that doesn't automatically offer/promote salsas with the meal. At home, I love a bit of salsa with my scrambled eggs with cheese. I first tried this years ago, in a Mexican restaurant and loved it. I will return at some point, maybe I'll try another item... but always a waffle!

Portions are HUGE here, and the best strategy is to order a couple of dishes to share with other people. When my boyfriend, boyfriend's sister, and I came, we each got the kalua pork, eggs benedict, and mochiko chicken plate. While we waited for our food, we also helped ourselves to their complimentary chips and salsa - both made in-house! Our food was delicious. Lots of leftovers to take home and enjoy the next day. I appreciated the option to substitute home fries with roasted vegetables in my eggs benedict dish. I would gladly come again. Next time, I may also bring home a pastry or two from their pastry case.

I waited over 20 minutes and she never came back to the phone, so I eventually hung up. I called back two more times and was hung up on again. When a gentleman finally answered, I explained that I had been trying to get through for almost 40 minutes and could literally hear someone picking up the phone and hanging up. I also explained that when someone finally did answer, I was left sitting on hold for over 20 minutes. I told him I wanted to escalate the situation and make a complaint because the service was completely unacceptable. He simply said, "Oh, sorry," and then hung up on me as well. At this point, what is the purpose of having a phone line if employees are just going to pick up and hang up on customers or leave them sitting on hold without ever coming back? I was trying to place an order for eight people, and instead I'll be taking our business across the street to The Breakfast Club. Denny's is losing loyal customers because of experiences like this. I really hope management reviews who was working during this time and addresses the situation with the staff.

There's outdoor seating too if you don't want to wait for indoors. I ordered the hazelnut iced coffee which was creamy and refreshing.

The wait staff is attentive and kind, frequently asking if we were enjoying our meal. If you want a no frills just solid quality breakfast (or lunch), this is the spot. Can't go wrong with anything from their extensive menu!

My wife and I started going to Anna's around 2015, after she moved from Sunnyvale to Hayward. We're…read morebig breakfast people, and we loved spending our Saturday and Sunday mornings there. Unfortunately, repeated experiences with one waitress eventually made us stop coming. Most of the other waitresses were always friendly and professional, but ordering through this particular employee--especially over the phone--consistently felt difficult. The recurring issue was ordering breakfast burritos with hot links. She would often tell us that wasn't an option, even though other staff accommodated the request. On a few occasions, she agreed to the order, but the burritos we received were poorly put together and nothing like what we expected. I can't speak to her intentions, but the repeated problems left us feeling unwelcome. It's disappointing because we have good memories of Anna's and believe the location has a lot of potential. More consistent service and better organization would make a real difference. A small outdoor patio could also be a great addition, if feasible. Based on our experiences, I can't give more than two stars. We haven't returned in a long time, but I would welcome a conversation with the owner and would consider coming back if these concerns were addressed.

Workers are always friendly, even when it's busy, and I've never had a bad experience. I love their Toffee Coffee, especially iced since it comes with toffee bits. Definitely on the sweeter side, recommend if you're more into sweet drinks and being up on sugar instead of caffeine (however they do have more caffeine forward options). Ambience is nice, tall open windows so there's a lot of light that comes in and there's always music playing. Not a lot of tables for big parties, but they also offer some couches with tables in the back. Cheese Bacon Crepe w/ Pasta: 9.5/10, delicious, my go-to. super filling, also has chicken & mushrooms. Pasta is not the most flavorful, but definitely does its job as just the side dish and I always end up finishing it anyway. Toffee Coffee: 11/10. One of my favorite coffees that I definitely treat as more of a sweet treat. The toffee bits in the iced toffee coffee are my favorite. I always crave to get this when driving on Hesperian.

If you're going to serve your omelette as a wet dish, it should be served in a bowl without dry/crunchy items . Beignets are dense and more like a bread.

We had a dog, so we needed to sit outside, but there were no chairs or umbrellas set up. We asked if we could sit inside because we also had a newborn in a stroller and a two-year-old, but they refused. They eventually brought out some chairs very slowly, leaving us standing and waiting for about 10 minutes beside a rusty outdoor table. It also took a long time for anyone to take our order, even though the restaurant was nearly empty. Compared with my previous visit, the food quality has gone downhill significantly. For the prices, the food, outdoor setup, and service simply weren't worth it. Sadly, we won't be returning.
