    Silverback french toast
    Emma S.

    The butter toffee cake is one of the best things I've ever had! It's served warm with a yummy icing on it. The silverback french toast, bacon, kielbasa, and hash browns are also delicious. Morganne is the best waitress! It's super cute and clean inside.

    Compostable to go box

    The reviews say it all, this breakfast spot delivers with friendly service, delicious options, and a welcoming atmosphere. Our server was super considerate, not only with checking in but anticipating our needs, and actually conversing with us about our dining experience. I appreciated that the tables aren't packed too closely together. If anything, it was spacious. We can enjoy our meal without feeling closed in or overhearing other conversations. You can either dine in on a table or at the bar (about 5 stools for seating)....or to-go! We had to get a flight of the lattes. July featured the following 4 flavors, ranked from my favorite to least favorite: butterbeer, animal circus, apple pie, and smokes. But honestly it was just a matter of preference and they were all tasty. There were so many meals that caught our eyes. We ultimately went with Marco polo omelette, country fried steak, and silverback French toast. Flavorful, large-portions, and fresh ingredients. We got a to go box and they are compostable which made me appreciate the consideration to our environment. One of those places you don't want to overlook.

    Greek omelet & country fried steak
    Nathalie Q.

    Hours: Thursday-Sunday, 7 AM-1 PM. Closed Tuesday and Wednesday. Heard this place had great reviews and good coffee, so here we are! Silverback Breakfast & Cafe is a small, cozy spot, so expect a little wait outside. The coffee bar is really cool, the service is friendly, and the food is delicious. MUST TRY THE Country fried steak and their different styles of omelette. You're in for a treat coming here! Do not leave without trying the Coffee Surprise, Jungle Java, Spider Monkey, The Momma Back, and The Baboon. A fun breakfast cafe worth checking out.

    Biscuits and gravy
    Lisa R.

    I have been here several times with friends. I keep meaning to review this place and after the phenomenal service I had last time I knew I had to stop procrastinating. I met a friend here for breakfast and she was running late, even though I was by myself, I was seated. I was brought coffee and water and some menus so by the time my friend got there I knew what I wanted . Even though it was a weekday the restaurant was hopping! This is a popular lively place. When my friend got there we settled in for our visit breakfast. unfortunately I can't remember my waiter's name, but he's waited on us many times. He's friendly, neat polite, and seems to enjoy his job. He was actually greeting other patrons by name. Since we're older , but young at heart, we ordered off the senior menu. still great food, still great portions! She had the biscuits and gravy with the side of those fancy potatoes with the vegetables. I had the two egg breakfast with poached eggs and toast. Our breakfast's came out together. They were warm and they looked appetizing and the portions were huge. My eggs were poached to perfection. My toast was buttered all the way to the corners . My coffee was refilled until I asked them to stop! My friend loves the biscuits and gravy here. She said it's the best she has had. She can barely make conversation while she's eating them! I always try a few bites of her biscuits and gravy and they really are spectacular. Even though this restaurant was busy, we never felt rushed. My friend and I have breakfast together to catch up once a month. We have had breakfast at restaurants all over Vista. But for the last six or seven months. We always come back here. This is a small business and they really try hard to make you feel welcome. The restaurant is always clean, including the restrooms. We have already decided to come back here next month!!

    Country Fried Steak split in 1/2
    Betty L.

    We had a great time at Silverback. We split an order of Country Fried Steak. They gave it to us in 2 plates. It was very tasty. I ordered a spider monkey latte & the coffee flight. Both were very good. The service was great with plenty of seating for a Saturday morning. There was plenty of parking on the strip mall.

    We thought the meal was going to be small so we ordered an extra waffle.. Great prices and large portions.
    Jose M.

    Silverback Breakfast & Cafe in Vista is a standout local gem that consistently delivers a high-quality dining experience. As a weekly go-to, it has established itself as a reliable staple for a great meal. The atmosphere is significantly enhanced by the exceptional staff. Joel, a young man on the team, is remarkably cordial; his habit of proactively welcoming guests, even those not seated at his specific tables adds a personalized touch that makes every visit feel more like a community gathering than just a meal. The service is equally impressive, with servers like Valerie consistently providing top-tier care. Her ability to make guests feel special through attentive and professional service ensures a consistently positive experience. Whether you are there for the food or the hospitality, this cafe excels at making its regulars feel truly valued.

    Delicious every single time! Friendly staff! Love this spot We get the same waiter a lot, he's always happy and quick

    Rye Toast

    First time trying Silverback and it was great despite being super busy on a Saturday morning. The wait I was told was 45 mins but ended up only being about 15. The host and servers were super friendly. Ordered the Brisket has and eggs with an extra egg, an omelette with an extra side, fresh squeezed OJ, Coffee and a latte. All prepared beautifully and quickly. Multiple servers came around to top off coffee and waters while checking in on us. Added a giant cinnamon roll to go. We both left with plenty of leftovers. Overall a great experience and one to keep on the list to revisit regularly.

    It's a family affair!…read more Bombay Cafe is a family-owned and operated little gem about four minutes from my house, which is both wonderful and slightly dangerous. Because a few times a month my brain suddenly announces: chicken tikka masala, naan, and potato and onion pakoras need to be in my belly. NOW. And Bombay Cafe understands the assignment. This is truly a generational family restaurant. The daughter may be your waitress and hostess, Mom is helping out front and in the kitchen, and Grandma is back there too. You can feel that this isn't just a restaurant serving recipes. This is a family serving their food. Full disclosure: I'm not Indian. But every time I eat here, somehow I feel like I've been invited to the family table. Then there's the tadka. That incredible aroma of spices blooming and sizzling that hits you before the food even reaches the table. You smell it. You feel it. And then you taste it. The tikka masala is rich, warm, creamy and packed with flavor. The naan is exactly what naan should be, soft, warm and ready to swipe up every last bit of sauce because leaving tikka masala behind should probably be illegal. And those potato and onion pakoras? Crispy little bites of happiness. There's something different about food made from recipes that have traveled through generations. You can taste the history, but more importantly, you can taste the care. Bombay Cafe feels less like going out for Indian food and more like being fed by somebody's family. And Grandma is in the kitchen, so you better clean your plate.

    We have been coming here for years! The food is delicious and authentic! The family works so hard…read moreand both daughters have always had a smiling presence around their studies both are now studying at medical school!

This jewel of India will delight your tastebuds and their warm hospitality feels like a welcome home! Established 1989 and still as delicious and friendly and kind as ever!

Tucked away in a remote location and surrounded by lovely open land, TERI Common Grounds feels like a hidden little escape.

The pricing was very reasonable, and the Hawaiian bowl was really tasty with lots of flavor. I also tried the Orange Dream smoothie with protein, which was such a nice treat. I was especially impressed that it didn't have the odd texture or aftertaste that protein drinks often have. There was plenty of parking in the adjacent lots, which made visiting easy.

We ordered coffee and then started working on our laptops. From the get go we could tell the cashier woman was NOT a friendly person, it was like we were annoying her by being in her cafe. Our goal was to work there for the day and eat lunch there as well. There were hardly any other customers in the place the entire time we were there. At about 11:20 the cashier woman came to our table with our original receipt and showed us the time stamp on the receipt and said, "I told you you can only be here for about an hour, this is not the kind of cafe where you can sit and work all day." I said, "It's only 11:20, it's not even lunch time, we planned on ordering lunch here as well." She just walked away and said nothing. ​We should have left but we were in the middle of working. We did end up ordering food, 2 avocado toast dishes. They made one of them incorrectly and they tasted just OK. We certainly didn't tip her and we certainly will NOT be going back there EVER again.
