Came here with my Sorors. They wanted to brunch and I wanted Mimosas. This place has both. We parked on the street. The wait was about 10 to 15 mins long. We sat in a both. One ordered patty melt and fries and the other ordered avocado, chicken sausage and potatoes. I had French fries. Food came out quick and hot. They both enoyed their meals. I got both a strawberry mimosa and a peach one. So did my fellow Sorors. We even asked for less juice and they accommodated us. I world most certainly come back to this spot. You can tell that it is well liked by many patrons. read more

LOVED this little place! Great ambiance, one of those cool little places that the locals go. The service was prompt and friendly, and the food did not disappoint! I had the country fried steak and my wife had the Mediterranean omelet and we were both very pleased. The portions are large and the prices are great for the quality of the food. Highly recommend and would definitely return! read more

This is still one of my favorite spots in SL. They have yummy waffles and other delicious breakfast items. We have brought family and friends here and everyone has enjoyed it. The service is good and the ambiance is pretty relaxing and quiet. It ma be nostalgia for me, but I feel like this place is great because it's still good even years later. read more

We visited on a Saturday and found parking right away along the street. It was busy/lively when we visited and got seated right away. We got our drinks (water and coffee) as soon as we were seated. The staff was friendly and attentive. I ordered the Krabby Cake Benedict which was really good and full of flavor; definitely recommend! My fiancé ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito and he said it was good! read more

1st time back in while, came in with my daughter for breakfast on a Saturday mid morning place was packed as always, but we got a table right away. Our waitress came over pretty fast with ice water and gave us a few minutes to look over the menu. I got the corn beef hash with over easy eggs and hash-brown. The corn beef hash was good, egg were prefect and hash-brown was crispy on both sides. My daughter got a waffle with strawberries and bananas with a side of avocado. She loved it!!! read more

I don't know why I came back besides the food is decent for the price , I walked in and was seated. Remind you it's a weekday,it took 10min for my order to get taken and , finally when it did others after got the order , I'm tired of being in the back burner at this place , seems like if your not a regular you're no value to them, second, my toast and tortillas were cold and of course I'm not going to make a big deal so they can spit in my food the last time I come here read more

I've lived in the area for some time now and so sad I only recently stopped in. Staff was very welcoming and attentive- we were seating right away and the coffee refills were flowing. Always appreciate that. I loved their huveos a la mexicana. It was flavorful, and spicy, but not overly spicy. And the person I came with, really enjoyed their hash. Will definitely come back. read more

This place has great customer service, the food is consistently good, and they offer a nice selection on the menu.

I ordered the BLT and it was delicious, great temperature and texture. My only feedback is they couldn't cooked the bacon a bit longer. The fries were crispy and flavorful. The service was excellent. I just had a great time and will return. read more

Sometimes, I don't get enough sleep. And it shows. We had to drop off a vehicle at the local Honda dealership for warranty work. Then we headed for breakfast. Our first choice had no nearby parking, so we headed for our second choice. Pelton Cafe is staffed by friendly people. The food is good and service is usually pretty quick. We ordered and got coffee as soon as we sat down. The menu has standard breakfast items plus some Mexican flavors. My usual go-to is either Chicken Fried Steak or Huevos Rancheros. Today, for whatever reason, I also felt like a Waffle Combination with Eggs and Bacon. It took a minute for the server to come take our order and when it was my turn, I completely spazzed. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak with Country Gravy. That comes with Two Eggs, which I got Over Easy and then a choice of Hash Browns or Grits. For bread, I asked for a Biscuit with more Gravy. That's already a decent sized breakfast but my mouth kept running and I also ordered some Bacon that I most definitely did not need. She got Breakfast #3 which had Two Pancakes, Three Eggs Over Easy and Four Link Sausages, Small Glass of Juice and included Coffee. Not to worry. We are eating professionals. We enjoyed our meals. There were no leftovers or any food wasted. read more

I've been craving this place since the last time I posted on Yelp when I went here so I wanted to go there & this time try the French toast. We went today also because I thought they weren't going to be open tomorrow for Labor Day and after speaking to the owner we could have came here tomorrow for my mom's birthday but it's okay. We did have to go on a waitlist when we came but we didn't even wait that long it was like maybe less then 3 minutes til they sat us down. It didn't take long for our food since I already knew what to get. Food was delicious like always & the servers were very sweet. My mom & I enjoyed the food & love coming here & talking to the owner who's very sweet & caring read more

Cutest little cafe EVER!! Was immediately greeted by a food server that was genuinely very nice. Told to site where ever I wanted. Took a small booth near the window. Coffee came fairly soon after. I was jonesing for biscuits and gravy and this place did not disappoint!! Two HUGE cheddar biscuits split in half with lots of gravy. Thought I would be a good girl and order a side of fruit. Didn't see it in the menu but noticed that another meal got it so it might not be that big of a deal. It was a HUGE side of fruit!! Service was super friendly and efficient. The interior of the cafe is so cute. Loved the grouping of the plastic horses on on a shelf! read more

Pelton cafe is one of those places that makes a city. San Leandro wouldn't be San Leandro without this latinx owned restaurant. For as long as I can remember this restaurant has been around. I used to come here with friends after school when I was in high school and I have fond memories of this place. I went here again for the first time in two years last sunday and I'm so happy to see that business is still booming and their food is still as delicious as ever. Their 1/3 burger is one of the best burgers I've ever had. It's juicy, well seasoned, and packed with veggies to balance the thick meat patty. The fries that accompany the burger were fried to a crispy perfection! I love the way Pelton cafe makes their fries, it's delicious! I decided to order a side of corn beef hash as well and alone it was nothing special but then I put it in the burger and it was like I had an epiphany! Combining the corn beef hash and the burger was a genius idea, I would recommend it if you like corn beef hash. Although it was packed our waitress would come by and check how we were doing and to refill our waters. We didn't feel neglected by the staff at all. I'm pretty sure I'll be coming here more often now that I'm back in the East Bay. read more

Hate to be crass in starting my comments with prices, but their prices have gone thru the roof since I used to live nearbye and used to eat there frequently until I moved 2 years ago. Way more than the 20% inflation during this period. It is one thing to pass along all the inflation to the customer rather than sharing the pain by absorbing some of it, but to gouge customers by exceeding the rate is absolutely revolting.Three of us paid about 70 dollars for breakfast. Routine coffee, donut store quality, was over 4 dollars a cup. Two of us had to send our food back for reheating, having been served cold. My bacon was rubbery, the pancakes were bland, the eggs tasteless; my wife's potatoes also tasteless in my opinion, although she says she could taste bad oil. Guess I have seen too many episodes of Restaurant impossible but the food cost (I know it's just a cliche) is supposed to be 1/3 of menue cost, not 1/5. The service was excellent, I will give them that. Recommend not patronizing. read more

Decent breakfast spot in downtown San Leandro! Food was hot and delicious. I must say they definitely improved. My French toast was so fluffy! Can't go wrong w the bacon and scrambled eggs. The chilequiles with over easy runny egg was good. Not too soggy and the chips were crispy. Make sure you pay the metered parking... was there for about an hour and I totally forgot and got a $47 ticket smh. read more

I was running some errands in the area and decided to stop in for breakfast. It was a Sunday around 8:30 AM. The place wasn't too busy and we were able to sit right away. My partner ordered the Eggs Benedict, and I ordered the 2+2+2+2 it's 2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 sausage links, and 2 bacon strips, we also added a side of potatoes. The food is pretty standard for a diner, which usually hits the spot early in the morning. The eggs Benedict were pretty standard. I was disappointed with my meal. It came out cold. Im sure if I would have said something, the staff would have taken care of it because they were friendly and checked on us regularly. Overall, this wouldn't be my first choice, but if I was hungry and in the area, I might stop in again. read more

Pelton Cafe - Eggs Benedict Side of potatoes 2+2+2+2 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Leandro, California

We came here on a weekend morning around 8 am, and the place was pretty busy, with many tables filled, close to all tables filled actually. The ambiance is nice with a western style decor and newspaper clippings from the early 1900s. Since there are a lot of things inside the restaurant, I think things get dusty so if you have allergies like my partner and I do, you might sneeze some here. My partner ordered a breakfast plate with French toast, eggs, and bacon. I ordered the huevos a la Mexicana, which had eggs scrambled with veggies, corn tortillas, avocado, and refried beans. Our food came out lightening fast but it was just okay and I wouldn't recommend my plate, which I found bland and not very good. The eggs were spongy and the refried beans were bland. My partner's French toast was standard, but nothing special. He also said his bacon and eggs were on the greasier side. The side of potatoes was really not good - too greasy and flavorless. The service here though was excellent, just too bad the food didn't match it. Not sure we would come back anytime soon. read more

We really love this place and have made it our regular brunch spot on the weekend. Everything is reliably good diner food and the prices are reasonable for the portions you get. If you get pancakes get the sweet cream ones, they're the best. The only complaint I have is that I like my bacon and hashbrowns extra crispy (like extra extra) and even when I ask they don't always come out as crispy as I'd like them, but that's okay. The service is quick and the coffee refills are endless. read more

Always a great place for breakfast and the standard has remained consistent over years and decades! Been ages since we came. But thanksgiving calls for it, so we got here around 10am. Managed to grab a table in the corner which was perfect. I got the special Julisa's French toast with a side of hash browns. French toast was very good, but the hash browns could've been a little more cooked. It was just a little soft and soggy in the middle. But still ok. I only wish they had more veg options, especially things like Beyond sausages and such. That would make it perfect. read more

Pelton Cafe - Julisa's French toast with hash browns - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Leandro, California

This place has been consistently good for quite a number of years. Basic morning and lunch diner grub. But they do it well! On the weekends there is always a line but it doesn't take that long. We come here periodically and will be back! My only complaint is the use of three different menus. There is one that was left on the table one that the server collected and one you had to download on your phone. Pretty confusing, well not really. But I really wish restaurants would stay away from the online menu feature. I want to hold a menu. I don't want to scroll through my phone, It's too confusing... Also my wife wanted turkey bacon with her meal instead of the included pork bacon. It was an extra $2 charge. Which oddly if you ordered on the menu a la carte it would have been $2 cheaper than the pork bacon. read more

I Use To Come To This Cafe Often, Prior To Me Going Plant Base / Vegan. I Stopped By Today For A Quick Bite. They Do Not Have Vegan Options But Will Remove Anything You Want So That It Is Vegan. Today, On A Cold Thursday, I Ordered A Hot Bowl Of Oatmeal Topped With Fresh Strawberries. They Give You Brown Sugar, Raisins & Some Milk If You Want To Mix It In. The Oatmeal Is Made With Water! Really Good! I Also Got A Side Of Their Hash browns. It's Was Really Good. This Place Is Mainly Open For Breakfast & Closes At 3pm But Do Sell Many Other Non Breakfast Foods.
