I ordered huevos ranchero and let the server know about my gluten and dairy allergy. They were able to accommodate with ease. I really wanted to try the breakfast brisket, but they had run out by the time I was seated. These are some of the best huevos ranchero that I've ever had!

Chilaquiles freaking SLAP! They were so flavor packed and they even do poached eggs here which was perfect! I was weary about adding chicken but it was sooo good! The chicken was flavorful and tender and very well mixed in. Staff are really sweet and proud of their business (for good reason!). The vibes were great too. Love eating in here and looking out the window at te

Here is a 2025 menu. I went there based on a 4yr old pic on here and prices were way higher. The banana muffin was close to perfect, a tad bit sweet for my taste. But the warmth and texture were excellent The egg white, turkey, avocado burrito was a 10☆ Service staff were also a 10, the restroom was a whole vibe. And the view was relaxing. I'd go back.

I had the Cajun Eggs Benedict at Nick's Cafe, and it was fantastic! The dish was perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of spice to make it flavorful without overpowering the meal. The service was excellent—our server was attentive and friendly throughout. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, making it a great spot to enjoy breakfast. Surprisingly, there was no wait to be seated today, though it’s usually a busy spot, which speaks to its popularity. If you're looking for a delicious meal in a chill setting, Nick's Cafe is definitely worth a visit!

This country-style breakfast spot is fantastic! The chilaquiles were perfectly crispy and flavorful, topped with fresh avocado, cilantro, and just the right amount of cream. The cheesy scrambled eggs with toast were equally delicious. A great place for a hearty and satisfying breakfast!

Going to Nick's Cafe is like stepping back in time in to a feel good diner with good eats! The interior has seating in a horse shoe design, big windows and flashbacks to the past on the walls. Outdoor dining is available. The well portioned food is all things breakfast, brunch and lunch. A few parking spots and street parking are available. Oh after eating, you can walk it off across the street at the park. Closes at 2PM. Patronize these gems before they're gone!

Decent local breakfast place. Had the corn beef hash Benedict. A little salty but ok overall. Service was amazing.

Armando Garcia

The wait time was extremely long. There were 2 other guests that were seated after us and they were served and ate before we did. The food was good.

Small American brunch place. Very nice friendly service, and food portions are big. Food quality is good but I believe it can be improved. Unfortunately, the milk turned into not in good condition when we tried to pour into the coffee. But overall I like beacons, French toast and Machaca. Personally I will come back to try once again, and recommend people who want big portion of breakfast.

Good ambiance, food is not bad just the stacks of pancakes is huge won't able to finished it. But Good location in the middle of chinatown/downtown that there is a diner.

I would only come back to eat the salsa and for the service, kind of. Overall, food is not my cup of tea. I ordered the Park Chile Rivera and eggs it doesn't have a price so if you want to pay 25 and some change for the play go for it. To me it's too expensive and it doesn't taste good. I felt like I was eating hard carnitas and a green sauce that's just bland. The eggs are fine not anything special and the hash brown tasted like it was old from the day before it wasn't stale it was just the taste. Definitely not worth a $25 I wish I could have just gotten my money back. My partner ordered the French toast it comes with blueberries supposedly a sweet cream cheese and almonds. The French toast alone is fine but the sweet cream blob that they put on it tastes just like blah with cinnamon. The blueberries are too sour. If you want to eat them I would suggest putting a lot of syrup on top of them. The bathroom is small and it is not ADA compliant. If you're in a wheelchair you will have issues but is clean. The service itself is pretty nice The people are nice and the cooks are kind of funny, they like to sing. I will not be coming back for the food.

I liked this diner experience so much I cane back and brought my mom. Arrived about the same time 11:30 am on a Sunday afternoon. Instead of a 10 minute wait like last time, seated inside. Thus time it was a 30 min wait, Elliot was his usual welcoming efficient self, just like last time. And he was spot on about the timing exactly 30 minutes. This rime we seated outside. The ground was hot on a hot day, kinda sticky. Last time, our servers behind the counter were awesome, friendly attentive and proactive. This time we got a less than engaged server (Daniel)...it wasn't a good morning for him even before we were seated. He answered questions but apparently not thrilled to be asked. He got our order wrong but why try to fix UT and ruin his morning, so mom ate it anyway. She didnt want to cause a fuss. No hash browns. No sausage on the side. I had so much fun my first time. This time not so much. A mixed experience. My coffee was nice and strong tho. And the blueberry muffin was delish.

Quality was very poor, IMO. $20 breakfast in to the trash. Will not return. Biscuits and gravy had a strange taste and the sausage tasted like some I've never tasted before, (not in a good way). The scrambled eggs... how do you mess those up. The hot chocolate was the best thing I had.
