    What an amazing experience! I visited this gem (2261 Balfour Rd, Brentwood, CA) with my mother and brother on Thursday, July 21, 2025, at 1:20 PM, and it was just as fantastic as I remembered! Our server, Melissa, was an absolute rock star! She was incredibly friendly and patient, making us feel right at home, and her service was nothing short of exceptional. We couldn't have asked for a better server! This was our second time dining there, and just like our first visit, everything was top-notch! Can't wait to go back! The Mangloña’s

    I swung by this local diner recently, and it was quite the experience. The atmosphere had that classic, cozy diner feel, which I absolutely loved. I ordered their famous breakfast sandwich, and it was delicious—crispy bacon, perfectly cooked eggs, and melted cheese all nestled between toasted sourdough. The portion was generous, definitely a hearty meal to start the day. However, the service was a bit slow; it took a while for my order to arrive, even though the place wasn't too crowded. On the bright side, the staff was friendly and welcoming, which made up for the wait. Overall, a solid spot for comfort food, just be prepared for a leisurely dining experience.

    Tried veggie omelette with country potatoes.. liked the taste and well cooked. Excellent location in BRENTWOOD. Highly recommended if you are looking for an early breakfast with Colombian coffee Already visited twice this place and will visit again if I get a chance..

    Visiting from Washington state. I was looking for high rated place for a nice family breakfast outing, and we found it. Yummy food. Great prices and portions. I've had better coffee. And the service was good when the waitress was catering to us but she would disappear for chunks of time. To be fair, we ate outside and I believe it was very busy inside. Lovely little patio area. There was 5 of us on a Saturday morning and no wait and we got a prime spot outside. I'd return and definitely recommend. The menu had some items on it that I'd love to come back and try.
