I got the offer on Yelp for $25 for $30 food.. it was really a great deal since the process are affordable and the service are good size. My sister and I shared the California Benedict but replaced the turkey with ham and it was really good. The waffles were yummy too.. the server was nice and prompt and we didn't have to wait long even being Father's day and it being busy. read more

Nothing exciting or excellent to review. The service was okay, the food was below average. The bacon in my omelet was old tasting and the oil used for my hash browns was old tasting. Unfortunately, I won't need to go back with so many other breakfast choices in the area. read more

1st time here! -Great service -Quality food -Good portions -Excellent deal -Good family atmosphere -Good Location... easy to find. read more

So glad we tried this place again, so good. Fast surface, food was cooked perfectly. Will be back!!

I've come here three times and the food is amazing as well as the service. I'm sitting here with my takeout that I can't wait to dig into. It's such a cute little breakfast spot with great accents. I've never been unsettled by anything here! 5 stars for sure! read more

I really want this place to be good. It's a nice little cafe. But the crepes were blah and overall the food lacked pizzazz. The wait is short and staff nice. read more

My first time at Window Box Cafe and the entire experience was superb!! Our waitress Julie was over the top! Our food came out quick and was so delicious. We had the French toast combo and strawberry waffle. The owner even stopped by our table To check on us. She was very personable and sweet. I recommend going here soon. I know I'll be back! Excellent staff and fantastic food! read more

Had a coupon for buy 1 meal and 2 drinks and get nd additional meal free, so i decided to take my coworker and go there after work. I was shortly seated. The arnold palmer was so watery. My friend ordered cofee and she recieved her cofee after they took my drink back and gave me my coffee first. Food was ok. Had way to many green onions in the corn beef and hash Pancakes tasted great though Might return and give it another shot. read more

Very quaint restaurant. Food was very good. Service was excellent and fast. Very Clean and comfortable to catch a bite to eat. Will definitely return. Thank you for an enjoyable breakfast with out any hassle! read more

Delicious Food and great options on the menu to mix and match the flavors of the breakfast meal. Rachelle was friendly and helpful.

Update: as they've gotten busier, the service and atmosphere has gone down. Tables are constantly rearranged and make no sense. There's a table in the entry way with two chairs. Who's going to sit there? There's a a table with a single chair that literally faces the corner. Tables where the chair backs directly into the main walkway. When more than two people walk past, they have to step to directly next to your table. Maybe this is because they don't have a good waiting area so they want to stuff people wherever rather than ask them to wait? The staff that was there in the beginning and made this place awesome have been replaced with people that don't do their job well. No offer of refills, no check ins, no friendliness, with the exception of the owners daughter. Food will be delicious one week and then not nearly as good the next, so no consistency. read more

It is rare that I will give 1 star, however this experience was one that I MUST give only 1 star for and warn anyone before they decide to eat here. So the location of the Window Box Cafe is in a stand alone building in the middle of a small business park - that being said, there's been SEVERAL restaurants that have been in this building and failed unfortunately in just the past couple of years - cursed possibly? I don't know but we haven't seen one restaurant succeed in this location yet. We decided to eat here BECAUSE of the various GREAT Yelp reviews, for the first time - Yelp has failed us :( Such a disappointment. So we arrive on Sunday around 11:15AM - and there is NO line, NO wait. This should have been our first warning - because EVERY good or even DECENT breakfast place in the Roseville/Rocklin area carries a 45 minute to 1 hour wait on the weekends, especially at 11 but whatever. We get in and are seated immediately to a booth. So far so good. We order our food (biscuits and gravy platter for me, and the rueben sandwich for hubby) and hubby also orders a coffee. The waitress specifically states she will put in our order and bring a coffee. Approximately 5 minutes later, still no coffee and she's walked by us maybe 4 or 5 times. My husband has to pull her to the side and ask for coffee, she apologizes as she forgot and brings coffee. Okay - we chalk that up to... forgetfulness, because it can't be due to them being busy (several empty tables and booths and again no wait! and plenty of waitstaff). Then finally about 5-10 minutes later, our food arrives. Hubby's coffee is yet empty again - and she doesn't even swing by to offer a refill. Husband has to stop her YET AGAIN and ask for more coffee. This was the last bit of coffee he got, he never got offered another refill nor were we checked on except to be brought the bill - literally 2 minutes after our food arrives. And we decided it wasn't worth it to wait or ask for more coffee. FOOD - eeek. Okay so my biscuits and gravy platter came with bacon or sausage, 2 eggs and hash browns. Eggs - I got sunny side up - they can't mess that up - it's too simple - so far again so good. Hash browns is what the waitress recommended over potatoes - i asked for extra crispy - umm soggy, soft and cold were not how I wanted them. Did i want to send the food back? No - so i just dealt with it. Bacon - I asked for extra well done - again crispy (sense a theme how i like my food? - both of which she read and confirmed back for me - just cooked past raw, soggy and limp - and also refrigerator COLD was my bacon. What?? We can't even get this right?? NO??!!! And don't even get me started about my biscuits and gravy. I asked for gravy on the side - again waitress confirmed - instead I got a large plate of biscuits with gravy covered all over them. UGH - we just can't get ANYTHING right. This is when it gets worse - the taste was fine if you held your breath - the gravy actually SMELLED ROTTEN! It was disgusting. I thought at first it was maybe me and my nose was just being picky so I made my husband try them - yup - it was a dirty rotten smell with each bite. UGH. Just yuck. Gravy should not smell BAD. Husband had the rueben sandwich with seasoned fries... was it good? it was okay - not nearly as good as we would have wanted - the menu promised highest quality corned beef - we are questioning if it came out of a can like the corned beef hash would - that's how NOT fresh it tasted, and it was dry. The french fries - we would bet $20 that they were Ore-Ida frozen fries - that were deep fried. They were seasoned and were just like the Ore-Ida frozen seasoned fries - plus the taste - that weird hollow taste once you bit in and taste the middle of a cooked Ore-Ida frozen fry - yup - had that flavor. Price wise - mine was $8.95 and hubby's was $9.95. So it wasn't too expensive, but i wish I went to Country Gables or another low price breakfast place and given our business elsewhere. We did not complain to the manager or waitress, because honestly - they had so many chances. I admit in advance - we did not tip well (my meal was completely the opposite of what i ordered and we had to ask for coffee twice!) - but we did write on our receipt WHY. So they should know. So for all of you - take it from someone who has eating at a LOT of the more popular breakfast spots in Roseville/Rocklin - take your business elsewhere - you will get a much better experience and tasting food. Absolutely disappointing - I don't expect the restaurant to last long here. read more

So glad I found this gem! My husband and I took our cars in to Five Star Auto and were going to eat at iHop next door because of the convenience, but then saw Window Box Cafe and figured we'd give it a shot. We were so pleasantly surprised! If you can handle some granny decor and dining in close quarters, you will love this place. The food is wonderful and the service is great. Our server knew it was our first time there and he brought us a "welcome cake" which was essentially a massive cinnamon roll doused in frosting - DELICIOUS. I got eggs and bacon with tortillas (instead of toast). My husband got the chicken-fried steak and eggs. We both loved our meals! We will definitely be back - very good, very affordable. read more

I, sadly, am rescinding my previous comment of "Best Breakfast in Rocklin", and I'm sooo not happy about it.... Three stars because I love this place, but the new owner really needs to step it up! read more

I absolutely LOVE this place! I'm a sales rep so most days I'm on the road far from home and this cafe is my go-to to take a break. The staff is always so warm and personal. Food is spot on! Highly recommend their fajita omelette! Cheers! :) read more

Went there for Sunday morning breakfast. Their food is delicious! Amazing Cinnamon buns and omelets! My friend really love their coffee too.

if you build a breakfast restaurant I will come. After a morning Easter egg hunting I needed some fuel. The menu advises that pancakes are the specialty but I needed me some protein. The server talked me into a corned beef scramble with home style potato and fried eggs. The style was skillet without the skillet. The potato was a bit of a miss. There was generous green pepper and white onion but the seasoning and overall cooking was off. Some potato was well seasoned, some were not and undercooked. The corned beef was magical and gave back all that was lacking in the potato. The dish also came with two mini pancakes so I got to try the house specialty. Yeah!! Detective Mills asked, What's in the box?....A ton of food. read more

Warm and friendly staff. Ŕeally good food. The best French fries I have ever eaten, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

This is one of the worst places to go in Roseville. The service was horrible and the food was worse. The waitress Mckenzie forgot the drinks then an entire plate. I ordered the spinach omelette with potatoes and pancakes. It was so bad I could only stomach a couple bites of each. The potatoes were raw, the pancakes were chewy and cold and the omelette itself was under cooked and soggy and the onions were chunky and inedible. I would never come back. read more

Window Box Cafe - American Near Me - Rocklin, California

Great place for breakfast or brunch! Huge portions for decent price. Have brought my family and friends here and everyone liked it as well. I have not had anything I didn't like yet. This last time my mom ordered the veggie crepe and she didn't like it because of all that sautéed spinach. But my dad loved his chicken crepe and I loved my California Benedict, delicious! However, they are busy on a Sunday morning/brunch time and messed up a few orders. My parents ordered coffee, I didn't and they brought 3 coffees. I exchanged it for an iced vanilla coffee without issues though. And then I ordered the California Benedict and they brought be a classic one, but also changed it without problem. Highly recommend this cute place. read more

A great place for breakfast close to home. The "hub's" and I stopped in for the first time today and were pleased with the fluffy pancakes and attentive service. We'll definitely be back! read more

I loved it! The decor is floral and bright, but it felt a bit stiff. The booths are comfy. The staff was warm and welcoming. I ordered Nick's Catch, I think it was called. It's a nicely proportioned fish and chips platter with a small side of coleslaw. It's just under $10. Everything was piping hot and crispy. Nothing was soggy or fried at too low a temp. This fish was golden brown and had the perfect crunch on the outside. It wasn't fishy at all. The fries were crunchy and perfectly seasoned. I hate salty food; nothing was over seasoned. The coleslaw was the best I've ever eaten. It's a bit sweeter than any I've had, and the sauce was way thicker. It was *scrumptious*. The tarter sauce was very simple and delicious too. I am told everything is fresh made. It looked and tasted fresh, and took a bit longer to get out to us as from scratch tends to do. Our glasses never ran empty. The server was a lovely gentleman who stayed on top of our needs and wants. I really hope these guys are able to stick around! read more

This place is amazing. My girlfriend and I go about three times and month and love he food and great prices. I'm not the one to write things on yelp but I was compelled to by the amazing service given to us by either the owner or the manager. I ordered chicken fried steak like usual and it had about a 20 min ticket time. I didn't even notice that my food was taking so long to come out because I was just enjoying a delightful conversation with my gf, when management or owner comes to my table and personally apologized for the wait and took it upon herself to give me free coffee on my next visit and took my meal off the bill. Even after many attempts to say no. This place rocks because any company that cares for each customer is amazing. I have been a manger at a restaurant and I share there love in customer service. Thank you so much for your kind heart and amazing food and service. From your most loyal customer Cory read more

Window Box Cafe - Awesome service. Every time I come here and service is amazing I'll post again. Love this place - American Near Me - Rocklin, California

Ordered Country Fried steak and eggs. It comes with your choice of hash browns or country potatoes. I ordered the potatoes and they were hard NOT cooked well! Disappointed to have decided to come here instead of Black Bear Diner. But I will say their county fried steak was good. read more

Looved this place. I got one of the omelettes, forgot what it was called but it had chicken in it and it was sooo good and filling. It came with yummy avocado on top and they had salsa better than Mexican restaurants I've been too. I enjoyed it very much and can't wait to go back read more

Poor first impression. Very unfriendly waitress. Don't need 'attitude' first thing in the morning...especially if I have to pay for it! Walked out. Drove to Awful Annie's in Lincoln. read more

It was just "okay" we went for breakfast the other day. It was a cute little place, server was very nice. The food was okay, nothing great but it was just decent. But THEN my husband found a bug in his water.. And a black hair in his plate of food. Gross.. The pancakes were pretty good, it wasn't the worst experience we have had but we won't go back. read more

I personally am not a fan of the raw, thick chop, veggies that were in my omelet. It felt like there were more veggies than egg in the omelet. Good service and the rest of my group had good meals! read more

We originally were trying to go to 4 Sisters but the wait was really long so we checked Yelp and decided to try this place. It was ok. No 4 Sisters, but we got fed. My Ca benedict was pretty good. My daughter liked her waffle. My hubby did not like his Polish sausage plate and found a hair in it so he was just done. Service was ok. Some guy was following the server everywhere which was really weird. Maybe she was new, but she was doing perfectly fine so it was kind of uncomfortable. read more

I went to time at this restaurant for the first time on 01/06/15. The service was slow, the waiter brought the wrong order and then made me wait a long time to get correct (mediocre) order. Additionally, we received no refills, and very little interaction with the wait staff. Will not be back! read more

If possible I'd give the Window Box Cafe a -1 star I would. We have been regular customers, and have ate breakfast here several times. There's a new owner here, so I guess that's why are experience this time stunk! First of all me and my family sat down for breakfast. We all ordered, and received our drinks. My ice tea had a dead fly in it so I asked the Asian server to please give me something else. She gave me a mean look and said what do you want then. I told her ice tea with no fly. After waiting for 1 HR and watching everyone eat. We asked our server when is our food coming out. We were then told when it's done cooking. That was the last straw. We left and ate breakfast at three sister's cafe. No flies no mean waitress, and better food. Never again will I eat here again! read more

The atmosphere is wonderful and the food is Simply Delicious. I get the breakfast sandwich every time with bacon.

Having heard about this place, i decided to give it a try this Saturday morning before work with my friend. I am very picky when it comes to food and restaurants, especially for breakfast, and this place met my high standards easily! It's hard to believe this place has even had a bad review! The decor and feel of the cafe is bright, cozy, and keeps you in good spirits. The staff is incredibly friendly and makes sure you're taken care of. My coffee was hot and fresh, our water stayed full when desired, and the food was absolutely amazing. I felt the waiters/waitresses went above and beyond, and the service was speedy. Both my friend and I were very impressed with our experience here. The owners did a fabulous job! I will definitely return again and again, telling everyone I can to share this amazing restaurant experience with me! Thank you for amazing quality food and service! read more

Cute place. Staff was pleasant by obviously undertrained/amateurs. They completely forgot about 1 of our orders and 4 out of the other 5 orders(yes we were a party of 6) were incorrect or incomplete. The food itself was bland and seemed like all if it was made from a box or reheated. None of it seemed like it was prepared from scratch or to order. We will never return here. Not because the experience was so terrible, but because there are too many other great choices for breakfast and lunch in this area. read more

Went here this Morning. Excellent Breakfast and Atmosphere. Will definitely go back. Highly recommend. Map it, as its location is not obvious. read more

They have the BEST home style breakfast and ham!! AND, they have gluten free pancakes!!

Today was my first time coming here and it was really good! The food was great and cooked to perfection my pancakes were awesome, spongy, & soft so good thanks to who ever the cook was i recommend everyone come try it! read more

The perfect simple breakfast, eggs, bacon, hash browns, English muffin and coffee for $8. Nothing frilly or fancy but everything tasted delicious. read more

Great traditional breakfast. I had chicken fried steak, which I'm pretty sure was from out of the freezer, BUT it was cooked perfectly. And the gravy was delicious. Hubby had California Benedict which had a huge pile of turkey and wonderful hollandaise sauce. Super fast service too. We'll be back! read more

Had a wonderful breakfast at The Window Box Cafe today. It was very inviting from the moment we walked in. I had the Senior Bistro Breakfast, which had several options. I had the country potatoes, scrambled eggs, and English muffin, all for only $5.95. The portions were more than ample and delicious. My son enjoyed the french toast and fresh baked cinnamon roll, smothered with cream cheese. He said both were yummy. Server was attentive and made sure all I needs were met. Of course, I can't remember her name, to give her kudos, I'm a senior after all. It was truly a nice way to start our day. read more
