This was my second time at Solano Junction, and once again, it was absolutely amazing! The breakfast was absolutely delicious—from the perfectly seasoned crispy potatoes to the fluffy pancakes, fresh eggs, juicy sausage, and a refreshing fruit bowl. Topped it off with a smooth mimosa and warm, friendly service. Cozy atmosphere, great food, and consistent quality. Definitely a favorite spot—highly recommended!

Great first impression. Had French toast and wildcat egg Benedict both were good. I really enjoyed the egg Benedict hollandaise sauce was delicious it stood out seemed authentic to the restaurant. Potatoes were seasoned correctly. Cooks pay attention to detail for example English muffins in egg Benedict were toast just right. The coffee was also great. Customer service was outstanding. Over all great restaurant.

Incredible service, the food arrived so quickly and everything was perfect. Some of the best home fries I’ve ever had! The latte was also amazing. The atmosphere is great, a perfect spot for brunch.

Friendly staff and a nice selection of breakfast foods. Generous portions and pretty normal breakfast prices. I got the short stack of pancakes w/ bananas and my friend got the pigs in a blanket.

Absolutely rock-solid Breakfast and lunch, and great preparation and recipes, and they make a mean Hollandaise. (I only wish they had put more of it on this delicious breakfast) Reliable, 100% working class food for Breakfast lovers.

I get the pancakes here and they are always good. they have a citrus butter that adds a little zest to them and you can upgrade to maple syrup. The potatoes are really good too and they have a hot sauce for them that makes them so tasty!

Great food in a beautiful space! I came for lunch on a weekday and had a relaxed, enjoyable dining experience. I’m sure weekends get busy for brunch, but weekdays were calm, and they serve brunch all day.

This place is truly a local gem! The food is consistently delicious— every dish tastes fresh, well-prepared, and made with care. What really makes it stand out, though, is the service. The waitresses are always attentive, warm, and make you feel right at home. It’s rare to find a brunch spot where you know you’ll get great food and great service every single time, but this place delivers.

My cousin loves this spot and brought me along — now I see why! She swears by the eggs Benedict and says it never fails her. I had a bite and for my first time trying eggs Benedict, I genuinely enjoyed it too! Her kids ordered the “mini pancakes,” which were definitely not mini 😅 but still super delicious. I got the breakfast sandwich, which was also really good — hearty and flavorful. The only thing I wasn’t crazy about were the potatoes; they could’ve used a bit more seasoning, but overall still a solid dish. The fruit on the side tasted super fresh, which I appreciated. I also ordered the strawberry mimosa (my first mimosa ever!) and it definitely tasted “strong” to me — but that could just be because I’m not a mimosa drinker. Still glad I gave it a try! The vibe of the place is great, the owner was friendly, service was quick, and the whole experience was really enjoyable. Definitely would come back again!

Solano Junction Breakfast, Brunch, and Dinner Restaurant exceeded our expectations with its delightful ambiance and delicious cuisine. Despite arriving around noon and experiencing a brief wait for a table, our patience was rewarded with a cozy spot by the window, adding to the charm of our dining experience. The menu, though modest in size, offered a variety of enticing options. I indulged in a robust coffee, while my wife savored a rich mocha that left her thoroughly impressed. Our main dishes, the Huevos Rancheros for both of us, were expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. Additionally, the waffles with fruit and the crêpes Nutella and bananas were equally satisfying, leaving us eager to return and explore more of the menu. As the lunch rush subsided around 12:30 pm, the restaurant transitioned into a quieter, more intimate setting, allowing us to enjoy our meal in a relaxed atmosphere. While the space felt snug, the upbeat ambiance added to the overall dining experience. Throughout our visit, the service remained impeccable, with our waitress demonstrating attentiveness and warmth. Her friendly demeanor enhanced our dining experience, contributing to the overall positive impression of the restaurant. In conclusion, Solano Junction is a hidden gem that offers a delightful dining experience, whether you're stopping by for breakfast, brunch, or dinner. We look forward to returning and indulging in more of their delectable dishes.

I've had brunch several times. The mimosa options are delicious, lychee and rose mimosas are great. The food is pretty good, they have good portions and prices.

Cute little breakfast spot that we stopped in before heading off to the city. Had about a fifteen minutes wait before getting a table. Food came out quick after ordering however it was not anything special just your run of the mill breakfast. Good place for a quick bite in the morning

I wanted to like this cute breakfast spot, but I just can't. They must have been understaffed on the day we were there because it wasn't that busy in the restaurant, but food took forever to arrive. When it finally arrived, there wast anything special about it, it was flavorless and boring. Disappointing since it is in a great location but we likely won't be back.
