    A family affair To sum up the weekend, we gathered here. At the private hangar entrance for the Camarillo airport with an active runway 20 embarked on the breakfast experience. We left happy. A line, a short wait and get it in. Marcello managed drums ie coffee, mimosa's, apple juice and espresso and latte's. The fun began in the waiting. I don't know the servers name but she managed 20 of us in grand style. The orders were delivered at the same time, hot, beautiful and yummy. We had such a variety and enjoyed it all.

    This is a hidden gem! I have been coming here for years. Plethora of breakfast choices. Just let your server know how you want and they will happily accommodate you. There are a lot of changes since Covid in terms of diners style decor and efficient way of sitting guests to getting your food as fast as possible. Wednesday and Saturday are for Trip-tip that cooked outside. Mouthwatering smokiness that I can't resist on my salad with a side of Santa Maria dressing. All items have humongous portions that you can split or take home. Tacos, burritos, sandwiches, salads, and so much more. Don't forget the delectable shake. It is a fun family friendly place. It is a hit with kids especially if they like planes. You may be lucky to spot famous faces too. I would suggest getting seated out so you will have the view of the airport traffic. Always nice weather to enjoy with your group. Dog friendly too!

    I had the chicken and waffles here. It was absolutely the best batch of chicken and waffles I have ever had. So crispy and the extra butter merged well with the chicken which made it very juicy. I highly recommend this order for when you go. In addition the service was efficient and easy. Ordering at the entrance and getting your seat after makes things operate smoothly. There was outside and inside dinning but with all the people it was still a very calm place to eat. Not so noisy at all. I will definitely be going here again.

    Beautiful place, There is a wait time but worth it. You need to place and pay your order before being seated. The outside view of the planes is amazing. I had a burger and fries it was really good.

    My sister in law recommended this place to have breakfast so we stopped by and boy were we satisfied! When we got there we ordered at the front before we were seated. So by the time we sat down the food was coming out. It was quick service. The day was nice and being able to sit outside near the planes was pleasant. Food was great. Waffles to die for! If you come definitely order a shake. Delicious!!! Here is all the food we ordered and a view of the outside patio.

    Our hostess, Alma, was so kind and accommodating when our party of 4 were separated and only my wife and I were present( no reservations taken). She had us sit in a comfortable patio outside , with coffee and water. The attraction of this cafe' is it's on the Camarillo Airport landing zone. People stay all day watching many kinds of aircraft arrive and depart. When our friends arrived , Alma, put us to the front of the line to order and then showed us our patio table. So sweet and so professional. We all had burgers and milkshakes. Food, service, atmosphere all 5-star!

    Back again! Like always food was delicious! Chilaquiles and chicken tacos were spot on. My husband enjoyed his mimosas and my tea was never empty. We sat inside today and admired how hard their employee work to make you happy. Every single person comes together. I wish more restaurants were like this. Great restaurant and great food!

    Waypoint has become our annual tradition for Thanksgiving break week. Since my son is old enough now to also enjoy the planes viewing area, we knew we'd have a great breakfast experience. We got there right before a major rush so we got seated right away and had the choice to pick from inside and outside. There were plenty of people already wrapping up their early breakfast so we got a great view. I tried something new this time and hashbrown since I knew the O'Brien potatoes weren't my favorite from last time. I got the opened faced biscuits & gravy sandwich and subbed the sausage for bacon which was a great choice! Love their thick and crispy bacon! The gravy was so delicious and flavorful. My husband said the breakfast burrito was a bit on the greasy side but overall, really enjoyed our experience again.

    It was a great day so we sat outside. The patio area was so nice and we got to see the planes and the county helicopter takeoff and land. The service was great! It was very busy that day and our food still came out in a great time. They have a little bit of everything. You'll for sure find something for everyone. The brisket l sandwich I got was really good and I definitely recommend it. My friends got brisket tacos and the other one got a salad with brisket in it. Both looked really good and they enjoyed their meal. Before I left, I had to get their well-known shakes. I got a coffee shake and it was probably my favorite shake I've ever had. I will definitely be back to try more of

    Came here on a Friday morning for lunch. There was a long line which made me think their food is good. We waited about 30 min and when we got in, I didn't understand why there's a wait when there's a lot of empty tables inside. Anyway, we were guided to a register first and we placed our orders. It was more like pay now eat later. Our orders came fast. We ordered chicken fried steak and that was ok. Nothing special. The guava lemonade was really good. I suggest to dine outside if you like small planes.

    Guava mimosa, Cinnamon Roll French Toast

    I was in Camarillo for the weekend visiting some relatives. My aunt was keen on taking us to Waypoint Cafe for breakfast! We showed up early and waited in line for a few minutes before opening time. Whilst waiting, we looked at the menu so we'd be ready to order. Ordering is done up front then you are seated. I opted for the cinnamon roll and a guava mimosa. After sitting, it was only a few short minutes before all of the food was brought out. The mimosa was a generous portion and very delicious. I thought it had a good ratio of juice to champagne. The French toast was very good! It was sweet and rich but not too much. My family and I didn't speak much since we were very much enjoying our food. The style of the restaurant is very efficient but I never felt rushed. It's down to business with eating and seating but everyone was very helpful and kind. Overall, I had a good time at Waypoint! I'm sure my family and I shall return again :) definitely come early if you want to try it!

    Inside

    First off I guess I should've read more about this restaurant. It was near an airport kind of out-of-the-way. I didn't know you had to get in line and then order when you got to the front of the line. So someone came out and gave me a menu and I finally got in line with my husband. We weren't there that long maybe 10 to 15 minutes. So we got to the cashier and we ordered our breakfast. Then someone took us to our seats. Ashlie was our server but basically she brought out our food and our coffee. My husband and I both had coffee and I love the mugs and the coffee was pretty good. They even had the raw sugar we like. I had a Carnitas omelette with fruit and wheat toast. The omelette was pretty good, the fruit I would've liked some blueberries or something else. It had a lot of pineapple. Love the wheat toast. My husband had ham and eggs with hashbrowns. Hashbrowns were your typical he said the ham steak wasn't as good as some other places. They did come around and made sure we had coffee and water. And then it might've been the owner she brought us to go boxes. Great if you have kids cause you can sit outside and I believe you may even can bring your dogs. Inside look nice but we chose to sit outside. I like how they stagger the table so you're not next to people. But it was rather loud outside.

    Ask the Community - Waypoint Cafe

    Is it loud because of the airplanes?

    I didn't find it to be loud due to airplanes. The restaurant was packed so the biggest sound issue was just other diners talking and clinking plates, silverware, etc. Nothing excessive, but definitely did not hear an airplane.

    Is it dog friendly?

    Yes it is! We've taken our Doggo here numerous times.

    Does the restaurant look over the runway?

    Yes it does outside is the best view of that but there are windows inside too.

    Is breakfast served all day?

    Yes but service is hit or miss. My burger was overdone and the person next to me was underdone. If you want a great breakfast go to Hidden Cafe in Camarillo springs. Traditional breakfasts and Hawaiian breakfasts.

    When will waffles be back on the menu?

    They are currently being offered

    Will you open for dinner Friday & Saturday night this summer?

    Recommend telephone the business direct.

    Do you still offer chorizo and eggs breakfast plate; not the burrito?

    When I went in January, it was a plate, not a burrito.

    How long is the wait on a Saturday morning? Also, do all the outdoor seats have a good view of the planes coming & going? Or do we have to request those seats? Thank you!

    The wait was about 15 minutes last time I went. All the outside tables will do, though the tables that aren't under the covered patio are better for spotting the planes coming in.

    Are dogs allowed on the patio?

    Yes

    What is the average cost per person to eat here?

    The average is about $15-$20

    Do they offer to go/ takeout?

    As I know if they don't. But, of course they let you take out the left over food after your meal.

    Do they take reservations for Sunday brunch?

    Unfortunately NO...but so worth the wait👍🏻

    Does Waypoint allow dogs in their outdoor seating area?

    Yes they do. We have brought our dog several times as long as he is on a leash. Also, there is a local older dog who wanders the area and comes and goes as he pleases. He belongs to one of the hangar workers nearby the restaurant. Everyone greets… 

    Is there bottomless Mimosas?

    No, you have to purchase each one

    Do they have a room/ area for large private groups?

    It doesn't have a large indoor space, however there is space outside that could probably be used but it depends on how large your party is. 10-15 people would work. Anything larger than that would be challenging I think. Inside, there is an area off… 

    When is the best time to come eat here?

    Weekends are very busy but it's better before 10 or after 1 p.m.

    Gluten free items?

    I don't believe they do.

The omelet was absolutely delicious! The omelet came with a side of macadamia pancakes.

When the food came out she approached from behind and said "here" slapping the plates down, never asking if we needed anything or paying attention to my daughter trying to ask for a refill. One of the cooks who was attempting to eat his lunch noticed the interaction and came over to refill her drink. The food was just ok, but the avocado toast which my daughter gets at most restaurants was 13.99 for 1 slice of toast and mashed avocado. It is definitely not what you typically get at a cafe. Once we needed the bill the waitress came by and dropped it off then disappeared again. I had to find a different waitress to ring us up. Would not recommend. Worst service I have had in the area to date.

We were ready for some hot breakfast, quickly looked at restaurants near me , got off the freeway at the next exit because "Hidden Cafe" popped up. Good reviews, 3 minutes away. We arrived at the same time as another party, they had 4. 3 adults 1 highchair. The rude , older lady with dark hair asked how many we had after them, than jumped back to that group and asked where they wanted to sit, etc. Sat them immediately. Outside. They got asked drinks immediately. Clearly she was overwhelmed two parties walked in at the same exact time. Now I have worked in the restaurant industry for many years, I was a waitress. I 100% understood why she may of been overwhelmed at that moment. 2 groups walking in at the same time, my group being a party of 6. 4 kids 2 adults. We were patient and waited for about 5 minutes before she sent the young busser kid out to seat us. I was holding my puppy in a dog carrier , I asked if we could sit outside. There is a sign on the door that says no dogs inside dining area. He said "no there is a table in the back at the inside patio" I pointed to the sign, said "I have a dog" he said "it's okay" so we walked in and sat down. We picked what we wanted to drink, we picked what we wanted to eat, all in our heads though. Because NOBODY ever came to us once we were sat down! My daughter was able to finish a whole coloring page before anyone even walked over to us. That's coloring in the lines and no scribbling. Not even a quick snotty "I'll be right with you" we didn't get 1 word. A bunch of ignores and glares. The server walked to an already established checked out table next to us to refill their drink, we didn't even have water let alone a hello. The dishwasher looked confused why we were the ONLY table in the whole entire place not being helped. The young boy who sat us, looked confused. We got up and left. The blonde server and the dark hair rude old lady , STILL didn't say a word when we walked past them to leave. Rest assured, they ran to where we sat to see what we left. Weird they all knew where the table was when we weren't sitting there. This crap of a service can stay hidden. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE!!! I have NEVER been treated this way. I have NEVER walked out of a restaurant after I have sat down. We have never felt so uncomfortable, and unwelcomed in a restaurant. So thank you, hidden cafe for the most unexpected, rudest experience of our vacation.
