    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.

    The Carne Asada breakfast burrito must have for all you burrito lovers!
    Joe M.

    If you are tired of subpar food in north County. LOOK NO FURTHER, the food is amazing (my personal favorite is the carne asada breakfast burrito) the flavor from spot on every time. The consistency is always 100%. And the coffee the best in town. This family owned and ran restaurant is amazing they have definitely built something special. There serves is over the top, it's runs like a well oiled machine they are all very kind from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave they make you feel welcome. And the ambience is cozy and very clean. I can say enough good things about this place. Try it for yourself you will not be disappointed..

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

    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.

    Have been here a few times, always delicious. I appreciate that if you have to wait, they take your number and text you when a table is ready. Usually see it at larger places, awesome they do it here. The host was so amazing, explaining about the wait as many parties were sat recently which could result in a longer wait time. Since it was a little cold, we waited in the car, but thankfully the party of 2 before us opted not to wait and we were seated swiftly. Our server Joel was very attentive. The food delicious and plentiful. The atmosphere is very cheerful and the best part is you can hear the other person in your party talk. Will be back again, hopefully soon.

    French toast, home fries, bacon
    Stephanie T.

    The place is on the side of a strip of stores. I have never seen it in all the years I've lived here. The French toast here was really good. The home fries I felt were seasoned with a lot of Italian and were ok. The bacon was good but not mouth watering good. The staff was overly nice, asking about drinks over and over, not taking no for an answer. But at least he was trying to be helpful and he was always nice. The place has gorillas everywhere, hence the silverback name. A lot of the staff were very fit so I was wondering if having a silverback build was a prerequisite to work here.

    Their updated dining room

    We have been coming to Silverback since they opened and have never been disappointed! Friendly people, excellent food and a pleasant, open dining room. They updated the dining room a few months ago, here's a picture. Don't be fooled, it is often very busy. This was taken early on a Monday morning.

    Cinnamon roll
    Alyssa C.

    If I could rate this higher than 5 stars I would! The thing that stands out far above anything else is the service. They checked on us many times and were extremely attentive. Friendly, easy going and flexible. There was a large party inside that was extremely loud so they offered to seat us outside which they normally don't have seating for. They were so nice and flexible! And let's not forget to mention the food. Absolutely incredible. My boyfriend and I got the cinnamon roll to start with as well the latte flight and everything was amazing!! Our mains were the south of the border skillet and the farmers benne. Both were 5 stars. Incredible flavor and nothing was over or undercooked. This is my absolutely favorite breakfast spot in the country and I've lived all over in many states. I can't recommend this place enough!

    This place is by far one of the best breakfast places in northern San Diego I've been too. The service was great. I totally forgot his name but he was really nice and very knowledgeable about the menu! We had the coffee flight, country fried steak, the chicken and waffles and the star was the cinnamon roll! It's a must have! I love that there is an area for the kids that can color or read a book or play games. The place is a nice clean place. All the food we ordered was sooo good. We will be coming back!

    The Mommaback
    Hannah C.

    Came in for the first time the other day with a group of friends. This place came highly recommended by one of my friends in the group. We were told that it would be an hour wait for 6 people and we arrived around 11:30am. The interior is nice and clean, not enough seating though. I ordered the mommaback coffee half sweetened. It was still super sweet with the half sweet option, I can only imagine what the full sweetness tastes like. It was good but I probably won't order it again due to too much sweetness even when modified. The California omelette was good, but felt like something I could make at home. They did make my hash browns well done and they were very good I will say. The sourdough toast with grape jelly is always good. My husband loved his chili omelette and said he would eat it again. I think we will be back for sure but to try out other menu items for sure. P.S. they do military discount

    Eggs Benedict
    Andrew C.

    Amazing breakfast spot! The service was very attentive and kind. The food was outstanding. I got the eggs Benedict and my daughter got cinnamon roll French toast. Everything was on point and I can't recommend this place enough. If I'm ever back in the area I'm making it a point to return!

    5/5 - Silverback Diner in Vista is a Game Changer Silverback Diner in Vista is the greatest thing that's happened to this area in years. The food, the service, the vibe--everything hits perfectly. Let's start with the hash browns... easily 100% perfection. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and seasoned just right. You can tell they actually care about doing breakfast right here. Their omelets are next level--fluffy, packed with fresh veggies, and full of flavor in every bite. And honestly, my surprise favorite is the broccoli. I never thought I'd hype broccoli at a diner, but they do it so fresh and perfectly cooked it steals the show. If you're in Vista and want a breakfast spot that actually delivers, Silverback Diner is it. Highly recommend!

    I am a Vigilante fiend!! I have an espresso machine at home and I buy beans from vigilante to brew…read moreup every morning for me, my husband and my father in law who takes the squirt to school. So vigilante is keeping 3 adults moving. Whenever we get beans, they are fresh roasted within the week. I love the locally roasted beans and they are always perfect. My FIL loves tin Lizzie and so do I but I have really enjoyed some of their other blends! El Fuego is another go to. They have some great cafe drinks, some good snacks and the seating area is spacious. I am glad the vista location opened to avoid the South O crowds in the thick of summer. I'll be back, I always am.

    Really cool new-ish coffee spot in Vista. The interior and exterior are really nice aesthetically,…read morewith a multi-colored facade and an expansive, high-ceiling interior with plenty of different types of seating. They sell a large variety of espresso drinks, teas, and non-coffee alternative options. They also sell small food items like açaí bowls, avocado toast, granola, and pastries. From what I've tried, the coffee and tea is really good! The flat white I had was really smooth and well-balanced. I've also tried both a hot and iced London fog, which were both pretty tasty. Service is good, baristas are attentive and observant. Easy to have a chat and laugh with. Overall, a solid north county option for a meetup or a remote work location.
