The Village Cafe — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Monday, January 13 12:02pm and it is time for lunch. So since I was right down the street I thought it was a great idea to stop in and try this place that I keep on driving by, but actually never had the opportunity to stop in. Oh boy, was that a mistake. While there is a makeshift sign telling you where there is an entrance, there are actually two options with one of the doors leading right into the kitchen. Fix it. The place STINKS. It made me think that there must be mold everywhere. Clean it. The person at the counter didn't greet or even acknowledge my existence. Not that I need validation, but [message to the person behind the counter] when a patron comes into the cafe and you have only 5 customers sitting in the whole place then your job is to immediately acknowledge them. Customer service 101. Let me tell you what a customer actually expects from you when they walk in through the doors (write this down "Hi, welcome to Village Cafe.

Your staff, and thereby management,...

I was in search of a good breakfast place within the general Lamorinda area to meet with my friend when she suggested this restaurant. I must say that this has to be my new favorite brunch spot!

It is perfect for those who like hash brown but want some protein within it. Parking is very easy to find as it is conveniently located in the Orinda Village Plaza. They have both outdoor and indoor seating and the restaurant is very clean and well furnished. I was in love with the homey feel of the restaurant and I found out it is a family owned restaurant! The owner and her two daughters were so kind and patient with me when especially when taking my order because I was so indecisive with what I would order. I will 100% be visiting again and highly recommend this place! The other breakfast places in the area cannot compare to the fast service, delicious food, beautiful presentation, and the warmth emulating from this establishment. If you get either Gianna or Jessica as your server you're truly in luck because they were such...

Great food.. Dine in or take out. Taking all precautions for Covid. I had the Trio salad.. Tuna, Chicken Salad, and egg salad with lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and olives and a hard boiled egg. A healthy portion and so yummy. Nice sever and friendly... Plenty of parking even though bowling alley isn't quite open next to it.. will be booming in the fall.. Good burgers, sandwiches, Chicken and Waffles and dinners. Close at 7 pm but nice to sit here and get out of the heat. Love supporting Mom and Pop places. Had come here once in a while but was a pleasure... Come here to take out or dine in with space apart... love it... It may have been older place but it's so comfortable, cool and they have loyal patrons. I know owner George is is so nice. Good soups and desserts too.Drinks in cans with ice and you can watch their TV with the News while you are eating... Counter spaced apart eating, tables, spaced apart and a...
