Always a great experience. The service and the quality of food
We went for a breakfast and we were pleasantly surprised by the brunch selection. The place definitely has a strong french influence, although the dishes don't follow a strict french tradition but they are excellent. The orders came with a fresh and welcome fruit salad. The coffee was great as they have a good espresso machine. Would come back!
It was one of the best simple breakfasts I've had in a long time. The hash browns crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, the eggs were perfect, and the toast was from a local bakery. They also have a senior menu and vegan items as well. I have been back a second time now. The coffee is good and they good biscuits and gravy. Only cons: Automatic surcharge for parties over 6 and surcharge for using a credit card.
Great vegan options (including breakfast) and excellent service. Choice of Beyond or Impossible sausage. Strong coffee. Also, I have enjoyed their vegan pancake platters, vegan Reuben, and Fried Corn Tortillas. A bit pricey, but these days what restaurant isn't? We come here every time we are in the area.
Great service, generous portions, delicious and fresh food! We told them we’re splitting one of the dishes and they separated it for us. I loved that! We’ll be back!
I had breakfast at Café Soleil, choosing a Spanish Omelet with chicken and pancakes. The mix of chicken, vegetables, cheeses, salsa, sour cream, and hash brown was excellent. I highly recommend this dish. Customer service was fantastic. There was no wait at all when ordering our food and receiving our coffee. The staff frequently checked in to refill our coffee, always serving with a genuine smile and a welcoming attitude. Their friendliness made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
we could only celebrate my sisters birthday in the morning and Soleil restaurant made it more special, they gave their 110% on the service, the food was so delicious! And lastly they had a great environment. There was no complaints at all, even the kitchen got out to sing happy birthday to my sister. Thank you so much! You have a recurring customer now! ♥️
Everyone’s so friendly from the time we walked in. Candace was our waitress. Great personality! I will get to the food in a moment.. as we were walking out I think eight of the employees said bye have a great day❤️ there was so many people in there eating. The staff kept it moving prompt with the food coming out warm. I’m from the Boston area and was surprised to see linguiça on the menu. I had a buttermilk pancake eggs, and sourdough bread. I took a picture of a grapefruit bowl worth purchasing. We didn’t get it. We should have. they cook your eggs to perfection if you like Sunny side up.
We always look forward to coming here because the experience is consistently enjoyable. The seasonal fruit is fresh, full of natural taste, and beautifully presented. It feels like care and attention go into every dish served. The value matches the quality, which makes each visit feel worthwhile. Whenever we are in the neighborhood, this is one place we make time for, and it continues to impress us.
We found them on the PBS Bay area show called Check Please. We tried their pancakes, chicken fried steak with gravy, and Alameda root beer soda. Pancake was soft and had a birthday cake flavor; bacon was cooked to perfection; hashbrown was good. The chicken fried steak was good and came with a side of eggs, toast of choice, and hashbrown. Generous portions and good service.
