Carriage Cafe

This is a small and old restaurant but the taste of the food is amazing... if you want to try American dishes this the right place! 100% recommend. The service is awesome and you cup of coffee is always full. And inside the place is full of pictures that make some nice ambient.

Our friend recommended this hidden spot. What a local gem!! You won’t be able to beat the prices! The food was good. We will remember this place for breakfast. We love old time dive places!!

Jerry's is exactly what it needs to be. It's not gourmet by any means, but it's a heart-filled spot to have a meal. They use American cheese and margarine, but I find that endearing. The coffee is strong and dark, and the breakfast staples are classic and tasty. The service was excellent. My girlfriend likes extra crispy bacon, and our server asked if it was cooked to her liking when the meal was brought out. I can't remember any other restaurant where that's happened before. It just shows a dedication to providing a good meal. Side note: it's cash only, so plan accordingly!

The gold standard of diners. You can’t force the organic greatness of a place this good. It just *is*. Places like Jerry’s are restaurants after my own heart. The simple breakfast—eggs, bacon, toast—hits better than Little Jerry at a cockfight. (Seinfeld fans, you know.) If the food in Egypt had been this good, Moses might’ve reconsidered the whole Exodus thing.

CASH ONLY. I love this little Mexican diner. Stopped in for my first time this past weekend and drove up from West LA specifically for this little coffee shop. I am working my way through a list of all coffee shops and diners in LA County so next up on my list are the handful that are in Simi Valley. Jerry’s definitely caters to the Hispanic community, which being from San Diego myself this is something that I also enjoy. I am not Hispanic myself, but the staff made me feel very welcome so don’t think that it’s not for everybody type of place. It’s in a really sleepy part of Simi Valley tucked at the bottom of a group of hills which makes for a great backdrop. There is a small parking lot attached so parking is really easy to find. It’s important to know that it is cash only but the prices are extremely low because of that and they do have an ATM on site. Our waitress was extremely polite and everything that we ordered came out very fast. Inside is quite small, but they do have a lot of traditional seating options such as counter, booths, and tables. I love how the whole restaurant is built around the kitchen, so you can see, hear, and smell all the food being prepared. I would say that this is one of the best Chicken Fried Steaks that I’ve had in a long time. I wanted to order a diner classic so I chose that and was very impressed with the meal. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the meat was not overcooked, and overall it just had some great flavors. There were a lot of other options on the menu that I wanted to order so I plan to be back in the near future to try more. The staff was also extremely polite and insisted that I take a coffee to go which I happily accepted and it really hit the spot on the long drive home. This is honestly a great local diner, but I would honestly recommend to anyone in LA and feel that it was worth the 30+ minute drive to get there.

Well Jerry is gone. The new owners seem to be doing a great job filling in pretty big shoes. The atmosphere is still friendly and the photos from over the years are still hanging on the walls. The decor is the same and you get that overwhelming good feeling that many people have entered and left thru that entry door. We enjoy coming here. The food is reasonable priced and the service is amazing. Bring cash. No credit cards are accepted. Be careful where you park. The parking lot is limited and shared by a small car dealership that has tow signs everywhere.

Tremendously delicious. I had the chilaquiles. Mmmmm. I will definitely return.

This is a really nice, peaceful, laid back diner, with pretty views, and friendly service. They are doing takeout and dine in is outside right now. The coffee was fresh, and so was all of the food. Everything is really reasonably priced, but it is cash only, so make sure you are prepared for that. We had eggs over easy, and they were prepared perfect. The hashbrowns and home fries were yummy, and so was the toast and English muffins. The tuna sandwhich was tasty and it had fresh, crisp veggies on it, but it is a very very small sandwhich, with a small amount of tuna, so I probably wouldn't get it again. I would definitely come back for breakfast:)

love a place that has menus were over 90% of the items are under 10 bucks you can’t find many places like this anymore. All four of us ordered the chili cheese omelette for obvious reasons it’s one of the best cheap eats I’ve ever had the Chili’s actually made in house if you’re a meat lover… This is your chili I loved our server she was straight up honest and she kept the coffee cups flowing so we didn’t have to ask for anything the toast was awesome and instead of hashbrowns I got the side of fruit which was freshly chopped bananas and watermelon which I needed. It’s worth the drive you can see the classic setting so that means this place is been there for a while but for good old fashion friendly service the owners and the staff make this place a wonderful stop for any morning I’m coming back!

Jerry's Coffee Shop is not just yummy; it's a delightful haven for coffee lovers and food enthusiasts alike! The friendly atmosphere and welcoming staff create a warm and inviting environment. Under the new management, the experience has been elevated to a whole new level. The coffee is rich and flavorful, and the food is consistently delicious. I absolutely love the positive changes they've made, and it's become one of my favorite spots for a scrumptious meal and a friendly chat. Jerry's Coffee Shop is a true gem, thanks to the wonderful new management!

Randall Cook

This is a classic old-school coffee shop, that takes you back to the age before chain restaurants and generica. While I have had better breakfasts, the huevos rancheros and oatmeal I had were satisfying and flavorful. The service was top notch, and being wished farewell by the entire staff was a friendly touch. And the look of the place is perfect. So nice to spend some time in an America that is vanishing too quickly. I'd go again in a heartbeat.

New owners. Same menu. Smooth transition. Service was good. Food was good & still cheaper than just about anywhere else in town. Cash only. This place doesn't look like much from the outside but give it a try. Been there for a long time.

very friendly establishment. food was good , prices reasonable. will be back to try other items on menu

Excellent salsa! The staff is very friendly. I'm visiting family from out of town. This place had one of the best bacon cheeseburgers I've had in Simi. Much better than In n Out. I will come eat here again.

If your looking for Nostalgic old school breakfast lunch spot. Then you found it. Has everything you find at IHOP or Denny's, but better and better environment great food and waiter's and of course the cooks. The eggs Benedict I had was tasty

Absolutely welcoming environment felt very homey and the breakfast was so delicious. Was such a nice service we got from our waiter. Definitely will be back. :)

I go here frequently to grab a quick breakfast, and it's always been great. The service is great and speedy, and the food is always delicious. Definitely bring cash, as they don't take card. However, if you forget there is an ATM you can use. With fee's of course. Parking can be a hassle at times but it's not a deal breaker for me.

Vic Chavez

We’ve been coming to this spot for about 4 years now and we love the food, portions are generous and the staff is real friendly. Even though I believe it recently changed ownership, they have made some small changes like playing music and tidying up the place. It definitely is not a fancy coffee but that doesn’t matter. It you like good food and good atmosphere, you should come check out this hole in a wall spot! Oh yea, CASH ONLY. But there is an ATM onsite.

Angie Mata

Found this little gem by the soccer fields and let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint. Jerry's is a little hole in the wall diner style restaurant with excellent service and delicious food. The staff were very welcoming and attentive; even made great recommendations. If you're in town for a soccer tournament and looking for a good breakfast or lunch this place is GREAT! Very reasonably priced and the food is absolutely scrumptious!

This restaurant is so old (a gem) with a very sweet staff. I enjoyed a good home stile breakfast. I definitely recommend it.

Good food. If you are picky about interior, then you may not like this place. It hasn't been changed in yyyyeearss. This is one reason we love it. Good food and prices...family of 4 with coffee & oj... $46. I will for sure keep returning. Thanks Jerry!

Tip well and go back often, and you will have a different experience. Jerry's was once a good place for small plate breakfast, donuts and coffee. I am dumbfounded at the amount of the "new locals" that call this place home, and rave about the chili. It is loud, short order and if told you have to wait to be seated, well, welcome to Simi Valley.

Under new owners from what I understand. Biscuits and gravy- Biscuits were more cornbread like, and gravy was runny and tasted more of clam chowder then gravy. Eggs Bennidict- eggs under poached and whites were still runny, hollandaise sauce was runny and tasted like the gravy did. The Canadian bacon and English muffin were cooked properly. The 2 eggs 2 bacon hashbrowns and toast that my husband were cooked to over easy and just right, not to crispy on the bacon, LARGE white toast, hashbrowns were lightly browned. Coffee was good, service was very sweet, cook was helpful and guests were nice too.

Food quality is very poor. Way better breakfast in Simi Valley available
