Pelton Cafe

Amazing service and delicious food! Highly recommend this place! we were looking for somewhere to go that was relatively close to Oakland airport and we're so glad that we found this little restaurant!

I came here for a team lunch and just loved my experience. I couldn't stop looking at the decor, the old photos and camera just captivated my attention.I ordered the BLT and it was delicious, great temperature and texture. My only feedback is they couldn't cooked the bacon a bit longer. The fries were crispy and flavorful. The service was excellent. I just had a great time and will return.

Sometimes, I don't get enough sleep. And it shows. We had to drop off a vehicle at the local Honda dealership for warranty work. Then we headed for breakfast. Our first choice had no nearby parking, so we headed for our second choice. Pelton Cafe is staffed by friendly people. The food is good and service is usually pretty quick. We ordered and got coffee as soon as we sat down. The menu has standard breakfast items plus some Mexican flavors. My usual go-to is either Chicken Fried Steak or Huevos Rancheros. Today, for whatever reason, I also felt like a Waffle Combination with Eggs and Bacon. It took a minute for the server to come take our order and when it was my turn, I completely spazzed. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak with Country Gravy. That comes with Two Eggs, which I got Over Easy and then a choice of Hash Browns or Grits. For bread, I asked for a Biscuit with more Gravy. That's already a decent sized breakfast but my mouth kept running and I also ordered some Bacon that I most definitely did not need. She got Breakfast #3 which had Two Pancakes, Three Eggs Over Easy and Four Link Sausages, Small Glass of Juice and included Coffee. Not to worry. We are eating professionals. We enjoyed our meals. There were no leftovers or any food wasted.

Love everything we ordered most especially the steak ranchero! First time at this place and I enjoyed my experience. Service was fast; place is cute (especially if you like antiques) and server was really nice.

Pelton cafe is one of those places that makes a city. San Leandro wouldn't be San Leandro without this latinx owned restaurant. For as long as I can remember this restaurant has been around. I used to come here with friends after school when I was in high school and I have fond memories of this place. I went here again for the first time in two years last sunday and I'm so happy to see that business is still booming and their food is still as delicious as ever. Their 1/3 burger is one of the best burgers I've ever had. It's juicy, well seasoned, and packed with veggies to balance the thick meat patty. The fries that accompany the burger were fried to a crispy perfection! I love the way Pelton cafe makes their fries, it's delicious! I decided to order a side of corn beef hash as well and alone it was nothing special but then I put it in the burger and it was like I had an epiphany! Combining the corn beef hash and the burger was a genius idea, I would recommend it if you like corn beef hash. Although it was packed our waitress would come by and check how we were doing and to refill our waters. We didn't feel neglected by the staff at all. I'm pretty sure I'll be coming here more often now that I'm back in the East Bay.

I've been coming here since I was little and it's never really change, I like it because it's very dependable and it's good but not the best. I still come for the nostalgia and the great customer service, always fast and friendly.Skillet 9/10Pancakes 8/10 Sausages 7/10Orange juice 8/10Coffee 7/10 Overall I'll give this spot a 4 because it has consistently been the same and always friend/quick service.

Cutest little cafe EVER!!Was immediately greeted by a food server that was genuinely very nice. Told to site where ever I wanted. Took a small booth near the window. Coffee came fairly soon after.I was jonesing for biscuits and gravy and this place did not disappoint!! Two HUGE cheddar biscuits split in half with lots of gravy. Thought I would be a good girl and order a side of fruit. Didn't see it in the menu but noticed that another meal got it so it might not be that big of a deal. It was a HUGE side of fruit!! Service was super friendly and efficient. The interior of the cafe is so cute. Loved the grouping of the plastic horses on on a shelf!

Cozy Cafe, Friendly VibesThis is a charming spot with log cabin aloha vibes - a cafe worth checking out. The old wooden interior gives a cozy feel. The friendly staff made the experience even better! Food rundown: The tuna sandwich was meh, basic but not a showstopper. The Monterey Chicken sandwich, on the other hand, was bomb, loaded with bacon - a win! The tasty Cinnamon raisin French toast portions are on the smaller side.On to the quirks - parking's a puzzle on weekends, and a 15-minute wait for a table is a reality check. Sadly, you have to stand outside while you wait; an app or some seating could fix that. Once seated, our sunny corner booth turned into a heat fest - shades on those windows would do wonders. Service had a few blips - long waits and a forgotten request.Despite the hiccups, this San Leandro spot is worth a visit. A cozy cafe near home? Count us in for a return trip!

The food are always good and the quantity is perfect! The server are very friendly and attentive. The place is very home like and very cozy place.

Very cozy restaurant with excellent service. I am super picky about my food, and my food was delivered fast and hot. This is my favorite breakfast spot now!
