Curbside Cafe — Restaurant in Vista

OMG! This place is FANTASTIC! John, the owner, is an AWESOME human being, and has created one of the best breakfast/lunch places in town. The staff is wonderful, and the food is fresh, well prepared, and delicious. Wonderful home made soups! And if you eat there frequently they really get to know you, what you want and how you like it prepared. It’s like having breakfast or lunch at home, without the mess or need to wash the dishes!!

I highly recommend Curbside Cafe, and don’t be afraid to ask them to tweak your meal a bit, so you can have it exactly the way YOU like it. They will accommodate most such requests with a big SMILE!

The only downside? You might gain a few pounds if you’re not careful! It’s also the perfect place to get together with family and friends. Wonderful covid19 safe outside dining with big umbrellas to protect you from the direct sunlight. Just last week, I think I was there with different friends THREE times!!

Oh, and if you want a real treat, try the Belgium Waffle with Strawberries and Whipped Cream and make sure you request REAL HOT MAPLE SYRUP!! A little extra cost but oh, Soooooo well worth it. My favorite way to end our breakfast, and if a bit full, perfect to share with your friends or family!

And finally, this fantastic place is also pet friendly!

To be honest, the only reason not to eat here is if you just ate! If you haven’t tried them, I highly recommend you do! I’m certain you will become as much a fan as I am!

Hoping everyone who reads this is safe, and healthy, and weathering things well. Stay safe and sane, and next time you are craving a great breakfast of lunch, seriously consider giving John, and Curbside...

My friend and I have been here several times and for the most part like it. My only pick at is the potatoes either hash browns or home fries. Both of which are considered a breakfast staple. First, the hash browns… they are too soft and no flavor. Like they are boiled first. Not sure, but there’s a certain expectation with hash browns, like crispy on the outside and just done on the inside. Asking for extra crispy still doesn’t do it. Okay, for the home fries, they are always usually precooked. That’s fine, but these are boiled not baked which makes them too watery… yes it’s a thing. And the pieces are way too big, not crispy at all and no flavor again. So eating them isn’t pleasant especially when having to use ketchup. In my opinion should never happen with a good home fry. All home fries should be fried with some oil, crispy on at least two sides and nicely bite sized with bell pepper and onion. The flavor bursts. I love potatoes and hope this post helps with making them better. Otherwise, we always loved the atmosphere, most of the food, and...

Curbside Cafe is a solid breakfast spot in Vista.

This is the second time I've eaten here. I prefer dining at the small outdoor patio tables, compared to the inside of the restaurant. That's because Main Street, which Curbside Cafe is located on, is lined with eateries, quaint shops, a theater, breweries & a wine bar, plus several interesting sidewalk sculptures are on display here. Because it's a fairly busy place, it's entertaining to watch all the comings & goings of cars, & doggies, walking their humans, while you eat your meal.

The Cinnamon Rolls are humongous, & loaded on top, with walnuts. They are divine! I like to wash them down with an Americano, a flavorful & more potent version of coffee.

The first time I was here, I ordered the classic Eggs Benedict. This time, I got a Denver Omelette. Both times, I got the Country Potatoes, & I like these: large chunks of potatoes, cooked just right, blended with long strips of sauteed onions. Both of my meals here tasted good.

I recommend this place, for a...
