Always looking for new-to-us breakfast places so we tried out Cable Car Cafe and loved it. As expected, cable car memorabilia and photos decorate this tidy, old school diner. Huge portions and excellent hash browns - crispy (not burnt!) outside and creamy inside. Efficient and friendly service! This was our first time in, but we could tell there were also regulars dining in, judging by how familiar the staff were with some of the diners.

Found not 1, but 2 hairs in 2 separate plates. They kept insisting that they make a new plate for us, likely so that they wouldn't have to take it off my bill. I refused, as I already felt sick by eating the food with hair in it. When I went to pay, the older woman said she'd take it off my bill, but she did not. She rushed us out without allowing us to inspect the itemized receipt. Paid $55 for food we couldn't even eat & was forced to leave at least an 18% tip, which was the lowest option. Definitely avoid this place. Super gross.

This is just an old school diner; there isn't a single fancy or modern thing about it. And that's what makes it so perfect! The food is solidly good; the service is efficient, friendly, and motherly without being intrusive; and the prices are exactly what you'd expect. I'm so glad this place exists!

I took my husband here for breakfast on Father's Day. The place was packed as expected. I had the 2 pancake cable car special with 1 bacon, 1 sausage and poached egg. The poached egg looked like a fried egg, 1/4 done. The pancakes and sausage were good. He ordered the veggie omelet with hash browns and toast. I asked him how he liked it and replied even with a lot of salt, it didn't taste that great. Don't sit next to the sliding door cooler. Each time the waiter opens it, it closes with a loud thud. I'm sure half of the restaurant heard it but we even felt each thud. The service was quite fast though.

Our go to for quick homemade breakfast. The omelettes are our favorite. They're loaded and very filling.

The food is amazing, but the service from the older waitress Vicky was horrendous!! This lady gave me and my family anxiety! Her negative energy and rushing us to order was terrible!!!

No thrills vintage cafe. Met a friend for breakfast and this was near by her house. Nothing special but it was decent. Service was not overly but it was okay. Food we ordered is simple breakfast so not much of our order could go bad. Ordered the Waffle and bacon and over easy egg. Didn't even take picture of my breakfast dish. Bacon was nice and crispy. Nothing special and can get this same breakfast at any restaurant.

Decent food, mediocre service. During the weekend breakfast rush, the staff is clearly overwhelmed and service is very slow. At some point, the owner called in her daughter to help with taking orders and serving customers.There is typical American breakfast fare and more Asian-inspired items like longanisa sausages. We got the Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs and a breakfast platter with longanisa sausages. Both were very tasty but quite greasy, which is my main complaint about the food. However, they definitely know how to do breakfast foods right, and this is evident by the constant flow of regulars who the all sit at the counter so they can chat with the staff and eat their meals at the same time.

Horrible service and attitude for mediocre food. You're better off at Denny's or some other random joint
