    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.

    Ortega chile omelet

    Ordered DoorDash this morning. Food was delivered fast, packaged well and tasted great. Food was fresh and had a plentiful serving. Omelet was tasty with perfect touch of spice. Definitely want to give some other items a try!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Excellent service and great food! Homemade sopes were great! I will come back if the opportunity arises!

    Great family run business and good food with excellent service. My coffee cup was never empty. Quick service and nice employees gives this restaurant a very pleasant place to eat,and a warm feeling of a family establishment.

    Weekday special
    Melissa L.

    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.

    Breakfast burrito
    John K.

    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.

    Great food, casual ambience with quick service. The waitress was constantly checking the table and refilling the coffee. Prices are reasonable.

It's got bar seating too! There's also some board games if you want something to play with friends over drinks. Ordered a 12oz matcha latte with almond milk ($7) and opted to have it unsweetened. Overall smooth but not too strong, and a tiny bit sweet probably from whatever almond milk they use! I like mine a bit stronger and it's not the best I've had but decent! "For here" mugs are always a plus in my book too. Brew is unique that it doubles as a cozy bar too once the late afternoon rolls around. They've got interesting events happening throughout the month posted on their sign. Some of their food and pastries are sourced from local Red Bird Bakery and Village Bakery too if you're hungry! Parking might suck, you could find street parking maybe on 8th St or if you're early you could park by the meters for free before 9AM. There's a $1/hr parking garage right nearby but if there's nothing, best to park at SR Plaza for free and make the 5min walk over. I really like the vibes of Brew and wanna come back for a happy hour one day! It's nice to see a very queer friendly cafe/bar rolled into one!

That's how we ended up at Brew. It was our first time there and it left a good impression. I got a SMOKED SALMON BAGEL and it was tasty. All the ingredients seemed fresh and the bagel had a decent amount of cream cheese and salmon. The workers were nice and friendly. Good location. They have plenty of outdoor seating, but if it's windy, you can always sit inside. I would definitely give it another try if I'm in the area.

Staff greeted me, even if I was the only one there at 8am on a Monday. There were a lot of sweet bakery treats and limited savory ones so I elected to try the quiche which comes with a salad. My Marla chai was warm and comforting, perfect for a chilly Santa Rosa morning. The quiche was soft, moist and flavorful. The salad had chick peas, carrots, butter lettuce, and radish with the perfect seasoning of salt, pepper and a vinaigrette. It was both delicious and refreshing. I will definitely be back next time I am in Santa Rosa.

They have lots of options for food and drinks, but I just came in for some pastries and tea. The service was good and very helpful. I wanted to try the gluten free scone, because I'd heard good things about it. Plus, I had to try the Gateaux Basque, even though gluten is not always good for me. The scone was very good, especially with a cup of tea. I ordered the Love Tea, which is really worth pairing with pastries. It has a lot of warming flavors like cinnamon and cacao. The real star here was the Gateaux Basque. A soft cookie-like dough forms the crust while the center has a vanilla custard and a cherry jam of sorts. It has one of the most pleasing textures and flavors I've had in a cake. It is worth coming here just for this, although I will have to come back and try some of their other foods. I would also note that while the quiche looks really good I couldn't justify paying $15 for a slice of it. I realize it comes with a little side salad, but when I asked if I could get it without the salad they said they couldn't charge me less for it. Oh well. Marla SR is a great addition to this neighborhood! Come check them out!

They are truly a community-based cafe that offers a lot to this neighborhood of Santa Rosa. My wife and I stopped by today for breakfast before taking a nice walk through Juilliard Park and the surrounding neighborhood. I had a delicious breakfast burrito with added bacon. The flavors and textures of this burrito made me smile when I took my first bite. It comes with some spicy salsa that provides a nice tang. My wife had the Chicken bahn mix sandwich and this was also delicious. The sriracha sauce is quite spicy and the spice gets intense after several bites, but it's so so good.

The café is set back from the street behind another building, and the alleyway entrance greets you with a colorful mural. There's outdoor seating with heat lamps, but on a cold, damp day I opted for the warmth indoors. A few people were happily outside. Inside, the vibe is relaxed and welcoming. Seating is varied and well thought out: firm but comfortable bench seating, a long communal table, two-person tables, and a cozy corner nook. Six skylights and glass panel doors bring in generous natural light. There was a nice diversity of people during my visit, including a baby and folks with gray hair. While the space isn't explicitly LGBTQ+-branded, there was nothing that gave me pause -- it felt neutral and inclusive. The staff were friendly and helpful. I ordered a caramel latte with almond milk, which was excellent: strong espresso, well-balanced foam and steamed milk, and good overall ratios. It was a bit sweeter than my personal preference with the standard one ounce of syrup, but that's on me -- and it's no sweeter than most cafés. I also tried the warmed apple turnover; decent, but not a standout (a bit mushy). There are books on the shelves, including children's books. Free Wi-Fi is available, and it feels like the kind of place you could easily settle into for an hour or more. Power outlets are plentiful and thoughtfully placed, including under the bench seating -- easy to access without being visually intrusive. Accessibility is solid: street parking is free and plentiful, there are no steps required to access the café or bathroom, and there's a private, single-person, gender-neutral restroom in an adjacent building. All around, a great place for excellent lattes, good music, and a relaxed, comfortable hang.

If you value fancy things and mediocre food, this place is not your place. So this place is kind of close to downtown, near the hockey rink, in an old industrial building.

I quickly studied the menu and decided on the bacon bowl. It had eggs, green chili salsa, home-fried potatoes, seasonal veggies, all served on a bed of lettuce. The flavors were outstanding.
