If you like an old traditional down to earth kinda café vibe with incredible food that will look awesome and full you up and provide incredible service, this place is for you! I'm a regular there and it's an awesome place to eat at that gives you what you pay for and then some! I would highly suggest the Tommy burger! That thing is amazing and very filling! Best café I've eaten at in the whole San Diego county area!

I stopped in for a quick breakfast while on a work trip and let me tell you, this place is fantastic. It feels like a classic dinner from a feel good movie. The servers were incredibly friendly, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere felt safe, comfortable, and welcoming. I don’t know much about the area of Escondido, but I do know that if you’re within range, you should make breakfast here a priority! Thanks for the great start to my morning Home Sweet Home Cafe!

I get Huevos Rancheros, rice, beans, over easy eggs. Spicy please. This meal makes me feel awake and ready to tackle the day ahead of me. Ladies who work here make this establishment, period. It feels like home, unorthodox, raucous, present, busy and amazing. If you wish to say Good Morning to yourself, stop by. Parking is hard as this place is popular. Prices will pleasantly surprise you. There is no place like “Home Sweet Home Cafe”

It's a fantastic old super clean hole in the wall! The Eggs Benedict is excellent and about as good as it gets and at a very fair price. Excellent service, too. The breakfast burrito must be the best in town, maybe the entire region. It's big, fat, filled with delicious ingredients, and freshly made. It includes eggs, cheese, potatoes, and your choice of meat and served with real guacamole (not the watery green stuff), sour cream, and salsa. There are also a variety of small salsa bottles on the tables. It would be a good deal at the usual price of $12.00-$14.00, but it's only $9.00! On top of all this, the service is impeccable. Parking can be a real challenge, so plan ahead and be prepared to walk down the road a bit -- it would be good to walk off their big breakfasts anyway!

Many years ago, I remember pulling up to this place and felt intimidated to go in because it looked too small and was super busy. Recently a couple friend's had breakfast here and the review was too tempting to skip. Finally, my sister and I were able to try it out and man, so glad we did! The place is bigger than it looks like from outside. The pancakes and breakfast in general was freakn gooood! Atmosphere was awesome. My sister and I were laughing it up and having a great time. Server was cool and helpful and had us feeling like part of the gang. If you look in the back corner on your way to the bathrooms, there's a really cool xmas tree they have for the children that might want to grab a toy. Jus for fun which I thought was cool. Definitely family and kid friendly. Gotta try it out!

Has been our favorite reliable great food go-to for over 5 years. Excellent Food, fun friendly service, excellent prices and tremendous value. Update: Home Sweet Home Cafe never ceases to amaze me. I gave up trying to eat my way through the menu about a year ago. Never had a single meal that wasn't beautifully prepared and delicious. Yesterday we stopped in for Lunch and the "Special" was a Tuna Salad Croissant, side and Clam Chowder". Not my usual "Fried food" choice... but it sounded good. I took the first bite and told Terri Guess "Oh my God that is the best bite".... Soft, buttery, flaky Croissant, FRESH crispy Lettuce, and delicious home made Tuna Salad. Fries were perfect... Clam chowder was excellent. They never let me down. Yesterday they did it again with "Steak Rancheros, Re-fried Beans, Rice, with Soup or Salad" as the Lunch Special. Simple fantastic food!

Well, simply outstanding! I have passed by this place for many years and finally had time to stop in for breakfast. What a surprise to find out how much I've been missing out. Great staff, great food, great old time cafe, atmosphere and very good prices. Have to put this on my "Regular" list!

Really good homestyle food. Service was great, everybody was so friendly and helpful. I got the corned beef hash, eggs, hash browns and a biscuit. My wife got the lumberjack, three eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, home style potatoes and a pancake. Only disappointment is they don’t have a lot of parking.

This hidden gem in Escondido blew us away on our very first visit! Nestled in an industrial area, it may be a bit off the beaten path, but trust me, the journey was absolutely worth it. I went all out with the lumberjack special, and let me tell you, for the first time in ages, my eggs were cooked to perfection—medium, not overly runny! That’s a rare win! Breakfast here is a dream come true—the coffee was piping hot and incredibly fresh, while the food was simply mouthwatering. The menu had a plethora of tantalizing options, but it struck just the right balance without overwhelming us. What really made the experience memorable was the staff! Every member radiated joy and enthusiasm. Our servers were not only friendly but genuinely eager to make our visit special, constantly checking in to ensure we had everything we needed. This place is a must-visit!

I ordered half portion biscuits and gravy and it was a very filling portion. type of eatery o would find in big bear or Julian, very homestyleand welcoming.

Home Sweet Home Cafe in Escondido, is a breakfast haven that lives up to its name. Our visit at 8:30am on a Saturday set the perfect tone for a delightful day trip to SD. The short wait before being seated only added to the anticipation, and once inside, the cafe exuded a genuine home away from home atmosphere that was both warm and inviting. Upon perusing the menu, we were drawn to the promise of a comforting morning meal. The decision to start with their delicious coffee proved to be an excellent choice, served in charming mugs that added a touch of coziness. Our orders included a veggie omelette and home fries, a child’s pancake breakfast, and the much-raved-about biscuits and gravy breakfast special. The standout of the meal was undeniably the biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were a masterpiece of flakiness and buttery goodness, while the gravy, thick and rich, featured delectable bits of sausage that elevated it to perfection. It's safe to say that their biscuits and gravy are the stuff of dreams. Totally worth the 100 mile drive down from LA. Beyond the exceptional meal, the service at Home Sweet Home was exceptional, with an attention to diners that set a high standard. A thoughtful touch was the presence of a tree in one corner, where children could pick out a toy—an extra layer of warmth that showcased the cafe's commitment to creating a welcoming environment. As we left, already planning our return, it was clear that Home Sweet Home had become more than just a cafe—it was a comforting retreat that felt like home. We eagerly anticipate the next opportunity to savor those wonderful biscuits and gravy.

Let's get right into! The pancakes where made very delicious. With a crispy outer rim plenty tasty butter . Nice and soft i enjoyed them honey and pinch of salt. Which made them that much better. The order was plated with two pieces of bacon and eggs. overeasy made easy picken's of the food. A small venue yet very cozy ,I loved read all the little signs and looking at the different knickknacks they had . It's definitely a made local spot for locals yet very welcoming to all.

The food here is really bland, carpet floors, very very limited parking. The servers were very nice, but the food really was not good at all. I would not recommend coming here.

Now this was my fiance and i's first visit to home sweet home cafe... Where we both ordered the sausage, bacon, cheese and avocado omelette. Our plates came to the table and wow it looked delicious. I have added the photos of our omelets... But😳 as soon as my fiance and I got back home we were both on the toilets with diarrhea???🤔 We will not be going there again. 😡
