I love a good cup of coffee in the AM with a yummy breakfast. Basic scramble egg with, sausage and french toast. All was cooked well and we were able to eat indoors which was nice. A little bit of history in this place which for me makes it even better. We stayed in Bodega Bay and this was just a short ride on a beautiful spring morning. Check it out if you are in the area.

The Bricken Maiden Breads are amazing! Stand in line for the potato bread before it sells out!

Delicious breakfast! I ordered an omelet, and I appreciated that they had gluten-free toast and dairy-free milk for coffee. The food was tasty and fresh, and if I lived in the area, I would definitely be back!

We come to this place every year for breakfast on my sons birthday. They have the best breakfast every. I’ve never been to a restaurant that did a better job of using really high quality ingredients, and making such an awesome atmosphere. They food is always exceptional. The dine in experience is so fun when we’re not doing the plus shelter in place and limited dining options. I can’t go on enough about how good this food is except to say the as amazing as the food is, Jesus Christ is better. Go enjoy the amazing breakfast at this place. And come to Jesus Christ to receive forgiveness of sins in the mercy and grace of God.

Great breakfast place, including lighter options like a quinoa and eggs breakfast bowl. Worth coming to!

Best breakfast in town. The staff has to be the nicest and best looking in the business. I understand now why there are so many songs dedicated to the Ladies of California. The food is stellar and portioned to share. I can't give this joint enough stars.

Good and healthy options for a great beackfast. The Benedict eggs a must.

Got coffee for 2 and breakfast for 3 for just under $60. Pretty clean environment for a "bus your own table" establishment, and there was very little wait despite the girl taking orders clearly being a new trainee.
Coffee was amazing, and the food was fresh and delicious. Ordered a waffle, Benedict, muffin, and oatmeal between us - all wonderful. The Benedict came out missing an add-on and the waffle came out without the ordered side of hashbrowns initially, but the errors were fixed promptly and corteously by the server and kitchen.
