Capital View Cafe

Delicious and great service Flavor mixed but really delicious They have a coffee Apple juice and other juices

This place can be hit or miss. I've had amazing breakfasts and not so great (shell in the scrambled eggs). But the service is always great and they will fix whatever is wrong with the meal. It can be really busy on the weekends so the earlier you get there the better. Especially since there is street parking only.

I regret not going to this place sooner. I live in the neighborhood and finally made it in and I will now be a regular. The Cajun breakfast is so good. Cleaned the plate. Nice people, friendly service, a good cup of coffee and a menu full of items will try in the future. Hooray!

My favorite breakfast/bunch spot in Saint Paul!! The spot is quaint with ample seating, and a very chill/relaxed vibe. It is Mexican American owned, and the menu features both Mexican and American dishes. I have been twice for breakfast, and the Cajun Breakfast was a delicious, hearty breakfast and warmed me from the inside out. But my faaaavorite was the chicken and waffles. It was so good. When I first saw the chicken strips, I was skeptical; but then they were crispy with a warm and tender inside. Loved it. The waffle was soft inside with a nice slight crunch to the outside. The service was relaxed and offered good recommendations when asked. Will be back again for some Mexican lunch! And more breakfast!

Very classic breakfast cafe with big portioned breakfasts at a reasonable price. I ordered The Farmer's and it was delicious! I really liked the small town diner feel for a cafe that's in the city. Nice that they had creamers and coffee cups already at the table too. Service was super friendly. Over all a very solid spot!

I've lived in the area for a few years and have always wanted to try Capital View but just never got up early enough on the weekend to go out for breakfast. So, when I saw them on Door Dash, I thought it was the perfect way to give them a try.We got the traditional eggs Benedict and enchilada lunch. The enchiladas were supposed to be plain cheese but they came with ground beef. Was expecting the traditional red sauce but got the verde sauce instead. The meat was flavored ok but the sauce had no flavor. The beans on the side seemed fresh, as did the rice, but again, lacking flavor/salt. The portion was a good size and the price was reasonable. The eggs Benedict were a no. The Hollandaise tasted like the powdered McCormick packet you add water to and the eggs were completely done, like hard boiled done. The hash browns on the side had no seasoning whatsoever, not even salt. Again, decent portion for a good price.I would like to think this place might be better on a weekend morning when you just want a big, cheap plate of traditional breakfast food. As for me, I think this was a one and done experience.

My husband and I ate a late breakfast here a week or so ago. I almost left before we were were seated because the carpet stuck to my shoes with each step. The waitress asked for our drink order before we were even fully sat down and seemed out when we asked for more time. My husband's entree was ok but non-memorable. My entree had sausage gravy that was pretty much inedible-very thick and gluey, with very little flavor. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

The omelette was right in point the beat omelette I have eaten!!!I go to a lot of cafe to check out the omelettes and this is by far the best!!!!'

There really isn't anything better than living in a city but feeling like there are places that are so familiar, it may as well be a small community. We love the CVC and try to go at least twice a month. It's walking distance, has amazing diner coffee and unique diner options (including the standard eggs and such), and we love the family that owns it - and everyone that works there. They're kind, motivated, positive, and just awesome.

Outstanding neighborhood cafe. We came for breakfast and left full and happy. We were greeted and seated promptly and that level of attention continued throughout our visit. We got a churro waffle for the table and it is NOT to be missed. Other standout items were the huevos rancheros, machaca with hash browns, and the Cajun breakfast.
