Alamo Cafe — Restaurant in Alamo

Moved to Alamo six months ago, found this place and I’ve been back at least twice a week for breakfast without fail. The food is great, very fresh and made to order - prices are super affordable. The cozy atmosphere is a throwback, employees and customers are all friendly and engaging.

Kim, the owner, has done a great job of honoring her family’s business. Been in the family for quite some time. If you’re in the area - please give them a try as you won’t be disappointed.

What do I get? I’ll tell you...

Breakfast Order - two eggs, bacon, sourdough, potatoes...the bacon is thick and ridiculously good

Lunch - just had a cheeseburger today, it was honestly one of the best burgers I’ve had in a very long time. Fries were on point as well

Wrong, seated at 10am and completed at 11:45am...almost 2 hours for eggs and bacon...and 8 cups of coffee while we...

Wow! Don't listen to whiners & haters in the negative reviews. This place is phenomenal - if you like a cozy little place with excellent, homey cooking. If you’re looking for a big-style restaurant experience, then do skip this very small space.

Best items are blueberry pancakes and their bacon. The 🥓 is far better than the many top breakfast spots I’ve tried throughout the Bay Area. Corned Beef IS very good and authentic - it's just thinly sliced rather than chunky, which is different. Eggs Benedict is great. We always get brunch so we don't know the lunch menu all that well. We come mid-morning so rarely have much of a wait. This place is old school, great breakfast dining so if that's your jam, check it out. Don't knock it for not being something other...
