Budget Cafe

Finally found a real pancake in SLO! Classic cafe setup and the service is unmatched. You will not be disappointed with this choice for breakfast. I was hesitant because who calls there place “Budget” but it’s well worth the visit. Prices are quite reasonable too.

Was recommended this place so I had to try it while in area.. Place was pretty empty when I dropped in about 1pm I originally ordered thee open faced turkey sandwich, it was horrible! It was a slice of bread warm turkey deli meat & thee most salty gravy ever !!! Had to send it back tasted like I was licking a salt rock 🤢 tried to send it back immediately however waitress didnt circle back to check on me for over 20min she finally came & I let her know its not edible its over salted. Ordered a cold sandwich instead well the bread was stale falling apart 🙃 so sandwich was broken to peices with every bite !! Gave up.. packed the rest to go ! An hour in by this time & I was over the wait , getting a box was even a long wait .. Fries were good & so was the water ... Would I return??? Prob

Cozy little bustling cafe that is walking distance from the SLO DMV. The atmosphere is comfy, the service is top tier, and the food pretty good. Portions are smaller than I'd like as a perpetually hungry person, but it was well made. My only issue was that the server was the only one on shift and she was swamped servicing the whole house at once. Nothing wrong with her, she was great, but just seemed overwhelmed for a bit there until the crowd thinned out.

Great food great service. Classic (to me) breakfast/lunch cafe. Have eaten here several times. Omelettes are good, pancakes also. I like the chorizo omelette. I had the corn beef hash this time around and my wife had an excellent patty melt! Busy spot in small business center. One of my favorite things is they keep your coffee FULL! Will be back soon

I love it. Wasn't even here for a full five minutes and I fell in love. Great service and comfortable atmosphere. PLUS!! I got a tuna melt! It's like they knew i was gonna be here! This place is chef's kiss.
