(From a Dad and a daughter) This is a great place to eat breakfast. I say that it is definitely one of the best breakfast I've ever had! The service was fast and they were very friendly.

This is the original and in the past few years, they have expanded to two additional sites: Rose Garden and Santa Clara (near SCU & 880). Great breakfast selections for the diner afficianados. They offer multiple, creative options ...their signature bread pudding french toast is yummy decadent. more

I've eaten at both their Willow Glen (original) and Rose Garden sites. I can eat breakfast/diner food for all 3 meals. A wide variety of breakfast choices and always accommodating for special requests. Like the outside dining better at Willow Glen. more
