Ranch House Cafe Moraga — Restaurant in Moraga

Really disappointing microcosm for modern Lamorinda life.

Grumpy greedy boomer stationed at the “front desk”; clearly it’s his family property and he’s there if he wants to be to chat and “greet” people he knows.

Prices are high for a greasy spoon. They hired immigrant labor (naturally) that is fantastic/generous/kind and incredibly hard working; but owners not interested in doing any real work (…or waking up 4am to make pancakes for customers) so he’s just gonna chat with the “regulars” and the rest of the old Boomers of the past.

I think owner just there “for the craic” because he’s bored and has all the land and wants to make even more money in Lamorinda, from family-owned property and existing “restaurant”.

So this “project” is to make more money from an old building (and feeds him when he’s hungry). They are partially using the “diner” for storage and other old furniture / family “heirlooms” ; lots of old Rooms so why not fill them full of stuff; classic Lamorinda...

I personally love this place. This is one of my favorite places ever. We always come here for brunch when we can and I always get orange juice and the "two eggs, bacon and two pancakes" and they serve it with butter on the pancakes and maple syrup. I can even describe how good it is. And this morning we had the best service ever. Felicia (I hope I spelled it right - who said started working there yesterday) was the nicest waitress I've ever met. She made sure we had everything we needed and was super kind and available in case we needed something. I'm really happy I can't even describe it. This place deserves more...

I have been wanting to go here for years, just never had the opportunity until a friend called and said a few if them were going meet us there. I arrived fifteen minutes later and they already had food Infront of them. I ordered and Bam just like that my breakfast and coffee were Infront on me. Now this was great service but I have never thought about breakfast but have always wanted there dinner as I hear they offer some great old school meals at decent prices, when are my friends going to say...
