Lita's is good & I've been going here for years but have now moved out of town so it's easier for me to see the prices ratcheting up as i only make it once or twice yearly now. $40 is just too much for two easy-to-make adult breakfasts. Before my two boys grew up I was a single parent and there is no way I could have treated them out to breakfast once per month at these prices. Come to think of it, there were no kids present this visit on Sunday morning when we went. The food is good but sadly I think we'll have to look for more reasonable options. You should try it at least once though to see what you think. read more

I stopped in last week with my friend and our little ones. We both got the Brussels Sprout Hash weekend special, it was amazing! It came with plenty of toast and it had bits of bacon and melted cheese, it was delicious. The ambiance was very inviting definitely a great place to stop by with family, the service was quick and friendly. read more

This is our usual spot for breakfast when we visit Santa Rosa. The food is always on point. This time we both got sandwiches. I got a turkey and avocado sandwich on sourdough with a side of sweet potato fries. So good and fresh! The fries were crunchy just like I like them. My boyfriend got the BLT with regular potato fries. The ladies here are friendly and fun! It's very quaint and cozy place and always clean. The bathrooms are also very clean. They are located in a shopping center with plenty of parking. The prices are super reasonable. read more

Food and service is always great. Meals come out quick, refills are timely. Perfect diner feel that isn't too fancy but still clean and comfy. Hits all the right notes. Just make sure you have salt for the potatoes. read more

I've been here quite a few times over the years since it's close to my home. It's definitely not my favorite, but it's serviceable for a quick, okay breakfast. The service is always quick and friends. It's standard diner set up, but always clean. The pancakes are probably the best item. My kids love the Mickey Mouse pancakes. The bacon is over crispy. Hash browns are bland. read more

My Sister Deborah took me to Lita's Cafe for breakfast. We've been there before but it had been a few years. The first thing I noticed was how quaint and welcoming you feel when you walk in. We were greeted by a very nice young lady with a nice and friendly smile named Diana. She showed us to our table and presented us with the menu. She asked if we wanted to start our morning with a breakfast beverage. We decided on having a mocha coffee. The selection on the menu was impressive! It wasn't an easy decision and it took me a moment to settle on the Lita's omelet and a glass of cranberry juice. Sis decided to try the Ortega Chile omelet with gluten-free toast l. The food arrived very quickly. The portion is a good size and everything was absolutely delicious, including our mochas! All in all, I am very glad we decided on Lita's and look forward to our next visit. As a side note, anytime the leftovers you bring home from the restaurant look and taste just as good the next day, is a blue ribbon winner! read more

Came in for breakfast during the week. Looks like they have a few regulars and the wait staff knew them by first name. I ordered their weekday special which came with two eggs, choice of protein, choice of bread, and home style fries or hash browns. Sometimes I just have a hankering for the classics breakfast plate. Everyone tasted well and I had no complaints. My husband ordered the loco moco. He said it was ok no thrills. Service was great and felt well attended too! Their menu had a lot of other good looking things. read more

The service was outstanding. The hub and I shared the eggs Benedict breakfast, which was the perfect amount of food for two people not wanting to be stuffed.

My wife and I had breakfast at Lita's Cafe today. I had the breakfast burrito and my wife had the New York steak and eggs with country potatoes. The steak was very thin, underwhelming and over cooked. Not seasoned well. I'd give it a 2 out of 10. The breakfast burrito however was very good. 8 out of 10. The fresh tomato pico on the side was delicious! I'd go back for sure. read more

I came here thinking it was a Mexican place with several breakfast burritos, which sounded good to me. Not at all what I found. It is a fantastic coffee shop with the friendliest service I have received in a very long time. I found it by accident. How lucky am I. Give it a try!! read more

Had an amazing breakfast here. Picked this place after calling around and being told they had room for a party of ten. We didn't make a reservation, but said we would come. On arrival, they had a table for ten set up and ready for us. Service was amazing. All the ladies were so friendly and attentive. The food was even better. Like, we all know it's hard to mess up breakfast, but this food was EXACTLY what you think of when you desire a great breakfast. Hat's off to this place. Seriously. Give it a try. read more

Really the strawberry pancakes were my favorite. Haven't been back yet but looking forward to returning for a good breakfast. Mm mm yeah yummy. read more

Good pancake. Fluffy and large, not too heavy. That was best item. Goes downhill from there. Small portion of fries and sandwich. Smaller than most restaurants at this price point. Skimpy avocado portion within sandwich too. Tea is literally a cheap tea bag chosen from a grocery store's dry stale bulk box, and hot water. Single napkin with each adult plate. Stingy all around. Won't be coming back! read more

Daughter had the croissant breakfast sandwich, she is a foodie and she said *chefs kiss* Fiancé had the chicken fried steak, same response! Hand browns were perfect. The breakfast tostada Delicious! Bonus for us it's down the street from our home and we can walk. read more

What a hidden gem Lita's is. We came here for brunch today, it wasn't too busy. The menu has so many delicious options. We got the New York steak and eggs, We ordered the steak well done with scrambled eggs, and hash browns. The steak was tender, it was just missing some flavor. The eggs were scrambled perfectly. The hash browns were crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside. First time trying the loco moco, the gravy was a little thick, but it was so flavorful. The rice was also cooked really well not mushy at all The pancakes were nice and fluffy, I just wish they would have had more bananas. It was not too loud in there, but it was nice to see they had an outdoor seating option Next time I would like to try the chilaquiles read more

I'm giving this place five stars. Is it Michelin level cuisine? No. However, it's as good a diner as anywhere. Solid omelet, Hawaiian specialties like loco moco, awesome burgers and fries. They have a variety of options for folks with a sweet tooth and I really like the French toast. Lita's is locally owned and the staff is very friendly...remembering most of their customers and what they like. They even brought me an iced tea upon entering. Love that. The place is clean and there is a cute outdoor area with a view of Big Lots and the crab place. Okay, so it's not a perfect view but this place is great for a party melt and milkshake ...when one is seriously hungover!. read more

The very best basic diner in Santa Rosa (I've tried them all). Great staff, very good food, very reasonable prices and very clean.

First time eating at Lita's Cafe, it was everything I'd hoped it would be and more! My party wanted breakfast but I was more in the mood for a hot sandwich and French fries so we thought to check this place out. I'd never known it was here had it not been for Yelp, tucked away in a shopping center, one of those hole-in-the-wall places only locals know is a great find. There were at least four pages of menu options to choose from. Everything from typical favorites to some more unique items like quiche. I wanted to change the bread selection for my sandwich which the server happily accommodated. The sandwich was loaded with goodies and the fries were piping hot. So many places are charging $16+ for just a sandwich nowadays, it's nice to find a place that includes a side for less $. The decor was light and bright with watercolor paintings surrounding the dining area. Great outdoor patio seating and plenty of parking. No wait on a Saturday morning and although they were busy, our food came up fast. Breakfast may be their specialty but please don't overlook this spot as a lunch option. Can't wait to go back! read more

Clean dining room. Friendly staff. Pretty extensive menu for a humble breakfast & lunch diner. Bambie and I ordered conservatively. Just the old American eggs, bacon, hash brown, & toast plates. For $6.95 the meal was clean. The crispy bacon was not greasy. The biscuit was fluffy. The $4.70 glass of fresh squeezed orange juice tasted like it was made many hours previously. It also was a bit watery. My only unhappy experience. Next visit I plan to be more adventurous. Gonn'a order the Lita's loco moco. Aloha! read more

I decided to try this new place because my coworkers kept raving about it. My coworkers explained how all of their food tasted homemade I thought, " how could it be that good?" it was my first time trying it, and I could not say I was disappointed. It exceeded my expectations and everything was quite literally perfect flavor wise!! the girl serving us was so helpful and so sweet. I wish I would have checked their hours of service beforehand because I went in at 1:30 and they closed at two. She did not make me feel rushed nor did she serve me below perfect food I hope to come back soon ( at an earlier time ) because i know how annoying it could be to have someone dine in 30 min before close ! I only realized that after I got home to write a review. but in short, the food was perfect, delicious, and the service was great! read more

I really enjoyed finding Lita's Cafe. Hubby and I are always looking for a good breakfast place, and we finally stumbled upon Lita's. They have a full breakfast menu with many choices, you can choose to eat hearty, or small like I did on the "senior/childrens" menu!. The prices are reasonable. And, the cook there definately knows how to poach an egg to your specification! Mine was perfect! They even offer turkey bacon as an alternative to pork. The cafe is very clean, and the staff is so friendly. Lita's will be staying on my list for future morning meals! read more

It has been awhile since we have eaten here and noticed there has been a change of ownership. Things were good but now things are even better. Quick, prompt, friendly service. Breakfast was great, my spouse enjoyed French Toast and I enjoyed my Chicken Fried Steak. Both our egg orders were cooked as requested and the link sausage was fresh sausage, not the frozen Brown and Serve type used by some lesser quality restaurants. All the tables were full when we got there at 10:00 am today and I can see why. We will be back. read more

I've only been once, but I loved the atmosphere. Looks like an average hole-in-the-wall, but the service is fantastic, the food is fresh and delicious, and the inside is clean and gives a great at-home feel. The staff worked together so well to attend to all the guests. It really felt like a "if you're here, you're family". I had the cheese omelet and added bacon to it, with crispy hash browns. The food was excellent, and the coffee was even really good. I highly recommend if you're looking for a mom and pop shop instead of corporate chain. read more

This is a hidden gem in Santa Rosa. I always seem to forget about this place. Maybe it's because of the location. Maybe I have no idea what I seem to block this out of my memory banks when thinking about somewhere to go for breakfast. You know what though? This place has some real good food. I've been here a handful of times over the years, maybe a couple handfuls. Service is always outstanding. The food is never bad. The menu is fairly extensive for a small little diner in a strip mall. No, this really isn't a secret, it's always busy. There is also TV where sports are usually on (at least when I show up on the weekends). Today, they surprised me with their special...Loco Moco. They had two different styles, hamburger w/ brown gravy or Spam w/ country gravy. I chose the burger w/ brown gravy. Yes, this was very good. I hope this is put on the menu full time. Don't be put off by the outside area of the Big Lots shopping center. You cannot go wrong with Lita's. It is only open for breakfast and lunch, so don't show up for dinner. read more
