    My Edward enjoying his Spanish omelet
    Mary Ann Rivera L.

    Moving up here from Manteca February 2024, I've always wanted to try this place and I finally did!! My boyfriend took me here for breakfast and as you can see from the pictures, the food was delicious!! I love the atmosphere inside. Employees friendly and always smiling and asking if everything is alright. Portions were huge!! We will definitely come back!! I rate it a 5

    Krabby Cakes a la Benedict
    Allison S.

    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!

    Cornbeef Hash Eggs & Waffles with Strawberries and Bananas

    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!!!

    Excellent service. Waitress prompt and attentive. Another team member clears out dishes promptly and a different gentleman walks around with a layered service checking to see if anything is needed. I came with a party of five and every dish is amazing. Chiquita w. Egg. Breakfast croissant. Mediterranean omelette. All amazing. Ambiance is very eclectic lots of history in here of SAN LEANDRO with antique artifacts all over the walls and shelves. Busy and with that a little bit more noise than expected, but still OK. I've come here over many years and my satisfaction level is always the same. They are always full with a line but worth the wait!!! we had seven people ahead of us, but the weight was like 20 minutes, so not too bad. Due to the excellent service, they know how to turn tables quick

    Pelton Cafe is a local breakfast spot in San Leandro. The service was ok. The food was good. The vibe was nice. Clean and good food.

    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.

    I came here for a team lunch and just loved my experience. I couldn't stop looking at the decor, the old photos and camera just captivated my attention. 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.

    what a nice little café to stop by on our road trip. Very welcoming atmosphere a lot of seating and we got our food. Pretty fast in the service was good. The café is decorated with a lot of antiques which helped with passing time waiting for the food to get there. A lot of history in this café.

    Waffle Combo w/ an extra waffle & then a side of French Toast (2) & country potatoes
    Natalia A.

    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

    Stack of Two Pancakes

    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.

    Steak & eggs
    Solomon C.

    Just driving around aimlessly and happened upon this spot. As a out the blue pick, I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I had the steak and eggs. The steak was cooked to my liking, and seasoned well. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The staff were very pleasant and attentive. The portions were fair. Definitely made my list of return spots.

    Side of fruit. This is bowl looks little in the pic but it's cereal size
    Melody K.

    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!

    Will it be open on Christmas?

    I know my answer is not helpful but I don't know if they are or not. I know that there were a lot of businesses in Hayward closed for XMAS. Best to call them a few weeks before to confirm to be sure.

Our waiter, Alex, was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel seamless. I kicked things off with a glass of bubbles (prosecco with peach schnapps), paired with their seafood arancini--crispy, flavorful risotto balls filled with crab and scallops, served over fresh bruschetta-style tomatoes. Such a great start. For the entrée, we had the seafood fettuccine, loaded with lobster, scallops, crab, and shrimp in a rich, creamy champagne sauce--decadent and perfectly balanced. The bread service was also a highlight: focaccia and Kalamata olive bread served with olive oil and balsamic for dipping. To finish, I had an espresso martini alongside a creamy crème brûlée topped with a buttery shortbread cookie--an ideal ending to an already incredible meal.

From prime rib its easy to tell that you are out of a medium rare cut. Its hard to send back when the people you are with has their food and you cant make them wait. That is the reason for the 3 stars!!!
