They put their heart into every dish, and the staff are incredibly warm and attentive. I love the decor at the front desk, and you absolutely shouldn't miss their desserts—they are truly delicious.

We were driving home to Arizona and needed breakfast, so glad this popped up in my search. This place was excellent. Great food, awesome service.

I had been to the Alpine Janet’s, but never this one. Went in today for brunch and had the spinach omelette. It was delicious and I asked for crispy hashbrowns and that’s exactly what came out. Super friendly waitress lovely blessing crew even though they’re continually having to dodge people. It doesn’t affect their cheery altitude. The booths are a little on the small side, but I’m a little so it’s not a problem but could be an issue for some who are not.

Immediate service at 6:30am and with a smile. Food was fast & tasted great. A pleasure to have met a friend there for breakfast before a job we were doing together. A little out of my way in the other side of town but better than the Big name breakfast chains for sure!

What an incredible find!! We ordered the Chilaquiles special, the Prime Rib and Eggs special, and the Pork Chops and Eggs. Everything was cooked perfectly. Our waitress, Isabella, was wonderful. She even left a beautiful, handwritten message on our receipt that warmed my heart and made me smile. Janet's Cafe is a keeper and definitely on our favorites list.

Thank you Sawra for 5 star service. Thank you for helping me when I changed my order. The mixed berry waffle was delicious. I got 2 eggs over easy which were perfect for dunking my toast in. Have to have grits when I come to California. They had lots of butter and I added sugar to reminisce about my childhood. My mom's name was Janet and she was raised in California so I felt right at home here. Water was ice cold. We'll come again to try the crepes!

Good food and service. One small issue: the biscuits and gravy are very good, but the portion is off. Three large biscuits, but not enough gravy to match, which makes it a dry meal. Maybe serve fewer biscuits with more gravy and add eggs on the side, or offer two portion sizes. Three large biscuits is a very big breakfast.

Charming cafe with a cozy diner feel and great service. Loved the Denver omelette with green chiles, had option to choose pancakes instead of toast. Worth a visit if you’re in the area. The bar was a great spot for a solo diner to grab a hearty quick bite.

Very busy but service was fast and the waitress kept checking on us. Food came out fast and was delicious. Definitely will go back.

Great food, great employees, great atmosphere. Very small sitting areas compared to the other locations. If you have a party of 5 or more, outside seating would be the only area.

Had to wait just a couple of minutes. Had the turkey melt. It was excellent. Set up nicely, with the tomatoes in the middle so the bread never got soggy. Nice slices of turkey. Didn't feel like fries, had potato salad. It was OK. There wasn't room for desert . Will have to pop in sometime for a slice of pie. Waitress and staff are super nice.

Stopped for breakfast during a road trip and really enjoyed the food. Service was great, too. Fluffy cheese omelette and cinnamon roll French toast delicious.

Super kind staff, 10 out of 10! Food was also good, 9 out of 10. It's an outdated older diner, but if I lived close I would go every weekend!

Wow what a great breakfast spot! I didn’t even realize there was another location other than the santee one. Parking is a bit tight but man, worth it. They do have outdoor seating and saw some dogs on the patio. We came Sunday morning for brunch and our group of 4 was seated immediately. Menu is good size and staff were very friendly. They have this big pie display in the front and the slices are hugeeee! Everything is well priced and it was all so delicious. Heaping mound of butter on the pancakes which is perfect and all our plates were cooked perfectly. We also love we have all the condiments on the table already to make it accessible. I can’t wait to bring more people here it may be my next new breakfast spot!!

Met a friend here for breakfast today. I forgot our server’s name but she was so sweet. Food was amazing, probably the best home fries I’ve ever had, the biscuit was huge, and my bacon was cooked perfectly. Just wish the cheese had been added to my eggs while cooking instead of being put on top. My friend loved her crepes. The only slight negative was that we were on the patio and there was a man smoking a cigarette a few tables away from us, and the smoke kept blowing in our direction. They should put up no smoking signs. I will be back though, because of the great food and friendly service.

I came out her for a memorial for one of my Shipmates and it was raining and I just needed to find a friendly place to eat to take my mind off things. I came across this place because I’m staying around the corner with one of my friends. When I got there I was instantly greeted. I was wondering why she didn’t seat me at the counter alone. She sat me next to groups of people and I’m so grateful she did cuz they were sharing stories and I don’t even think they all knew each other but the atmosphere was just what I needed! The food was a lot haha but great tasting especially the cinnamon roll and coffee. The waitress kept checkin on me and it meant more to me when her face lit up when I told her everything tasted amazing! Thank you so much! I took my pancakes to my friend and her and her son loved them! Guess they had never been haha. Kinda hidden gem but I’m so glad I found it

Janet's Cafe is a cozy little spot that serves up some seriously delicious meals. With a menu that boasts of homely dishes like homemade soups, hearty sandwiches, and scrumptious pies, it truly feels like you're dining in the comfort of your own kitchen. The portions are generous and the quality of the food is top-notch. Their house-made sauces and dressings add an extra kick of flavor to every bite. But what really sets Janet's Cafe apart is their warm and friendly service. The staff greets you with a smile and makes you feel right at home. It's no wonder this charming cafe has become a popular local favorite for those seeking tasty, homemade food in a welcoming atmosphere. I ordered the turkey avocado 🥑 to go for my wife's lunch. She enjoyed it very much.

Staff was very attentive. Food was delicious and big portions. I ordered the country style eggs Benedict and my husband had country fried steak. The biscuits were huge!! Cant wait to dive into the chocolate pie we took home.

I don't have any photos to show anyone. If I'm giving a rating, it's because I think it's good so don't ask me for a picture. If I put one on there. Great, if not take my word for it, if I go somewhere and I give it a high rating, it's good. Have a good one.

Janet's is a down to earth cozy restaurant. Super friendly staff. We had breakfast and ordered the Denver omelet & diced ham scramble. Both were very good 👍 however we ordered the pancakes 🥞 and were disappointed 😞 the pancakes were "rubbery", they were a bit tough. I presume it's the batter? Overall the main breakfast was tasty 😋 Coffee ☕️ was good, especially since I don't like strong coffee. We will definitely return and order something different, but no pancakes 😕

I was so surprised to see how packed they were on a Tuesday. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Portions were massive and very filling. Each order comes with a large side ( we picked pancakes and hashbrowns). Great experience overall

Neighborhood cafe, can't see it from the street, no frills atmosphere, good service. Had the eggs, bacon, hash browns, pancakes & coffee breakfast. Eggs were over cooked as was the bacon, pancakes were chewy.

This is the first time I didn't eat my food at a restaurant, especially breakfast! There was ZERO flavor in any of the food. I ordered O'Brian potatoes and the onions and bell beppers were still raw. No joke (see pic). There wasn't any seasoning on the potatoes (I added the salt and pepper - didn't help). The staff was nice enough but I didn't like that the waitress ignored me. It seemed intentional. I handed her my card, but when she returned it, she handed it to my friend instead of me. I won't be coming back.
