There's a fairly new Ethiopian/Eritrean restaurant called Abyssinia at 913 4th Street in Santa Rosa. Breakfasts Sat. & Sunday, 9:30-11:30 am -- all under $5.00.

I also really like the Colibri Grill Cafe (4233 Montgomery Drive - Santa Rosa), in the strip mall where Summerfield T's into Montgomery, open 7 days, breakfast & lunch 7 am - 3 pm. Their breakfasts mostly cost $9.00 (plus tip).

And Hank's Creekside Diner for delicious, stuff-your-gut breakfast plates with great home fries: 2800 4th Street (just west of Farmer's lane on the south side), Santa Rosa.

Su Casa, in St. Francis Center (Next to the Safeway at Hwy. 12 & Calistoga Road, in Santa Rosa, serves pretty tasty, reasonably priced Mexican breakfasts. And they serve real Mexican hot chocolate.

Everyone working in these places looks fairly content, so the owners are probably OK to work for.

Su Casa also serves what is in my opinion the best "American" Breakfast in Santa Rosa and the West County.

When I lived in Rincon Valley I went there often.

Now that I'm in Forestville it's a bit far to travel.

I'd love to find some good places myself. When you find some place you like after this query we should all meet there and enjoy it !!

Wow, this sounds JUST like Carlos' Country Kitchen. My husband and I ate there about a week ago and FELL IN LOVE with it! I had country fried steak and eggs and it was perfect. The best gravy I have ever had, and it was a REAL country fries steak, not like you get at a chain joint!! The hash browns were cooked crisp of the outside and tender on the inside. The biscuits were great! My husband had a cheeseburger and he really enjoyed it (he is very picky when it comes to his burgers). The staff was very friendly (like you should find in a mom and pop place) and efficient! We sat outside, as the inside was slammed! The patio contains, I think, for sturdy picnic tables, with umbrella options (it was too perfect a day for them when we were there).<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

Our waitress was Marilee, and she was the best waitress we have had in quite a while (with the exception of Mariah at <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place>Coco</st1:place>'s, whom we love the best!!)<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
So if you get the chance to check it out, I think you too will fall in love! They are also in the Sonoma Express book... or whatever it is called now. So you can check them out at a discount too!!<o:p></o:p>

HI Everyone,
I thought you might like to know that the Forestville Odd Fellows Lodge is having a Brunch Special on SUNDAY'S only 9:30am - 1:00pm

They have an intent to raise enough $$ to put on a new roof. Char and her husband are doing all the work. He is a Fabulous Cook and she is an entertaining waitperson.

The best part is that breakfast costs no more than $3.00 - $6.00 and this includes coffee..... Menu is omletts, pancakes, meat and eggs cooked your way.......... I got so much food that I had to ask for a "to - go" plate and had enough food for breakfast the next day too!

Come Check out Forestville for a fabulous Brunch...

oh yea..... The Odd Fellows Hall is the building just past the grade school on the corner of COVEY and 116...... You'll see a sign on the right if you look up.

Come support Forestville and help raise a roof!

Oh my Gawd !!

I had the most YUMMIEST brunch EVER in Sebastopol at
STARLIGHT WINE Bar !!!

It was simply AMAZING ! I have not found any other place that is as yummy and cozy atmosphere when it comes to brunch!

I waited a while to check STARLITE out as I had heard their brunch prices can range from $8.00 - 15.00 depending. But I had heard such great things about dinner and brunch at STARLITE, I just could not resist any longer!

And now, I am feeling eager to go back ASAP!

My friend ended up choosing the scrumptious and VERY tasty Eggs Benedict.
It was piled high on top of some unique yummy potatoe cakes and came with: poached eggs, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Heirloom tomatoes and the BEST creole Hollandaise sauce . ($15.00 and WELL worth it!)

I ordered the biscuits and gravy option ($8.00) but was forewarned by the warm and friendly staff of the spiciness of the dish. As spicy food does not particularly work well for my digestion, I opted to ask for sides of the Hollandaise Sauce to poor all over my biscuits! I was in HEAVEN!!

We also sampled a side order of Starlites' famous Grits which were extremely good and near perfect! ($3.00)
I honestly have not found anywhere else in Sonoma County that can make grits this good! You gotta try some when you go!

I also recommend trying Starlites great tasting and unique pancakes as well! Yummy and unlike any other pancakes you have ever had! ($10.00)

The most pleasant experience was meeting the owner/staff and finally seeing the unique decoration and design of the restaurant.
I must say, Heather and staff were more than willing and eager to take really good care of us! They were warm , welcoming and friendly!


THUMBS UP!! :thumbsup:

My daughter and I go to Piner Cafe. It is only open til 2pm daily and is our favorite. If the line is too long, our second favorte is Louie's at 3rd and Fulton. Our friends like the Nutty Irishman across from the Piner Cafe. We ate at the soulfood restaurant at Coffee and Piner and hope their soulfood is better than their breakfast. Sam's for Play is good too. The one time we at Carlos' we couldn't tell what meat they used in their gravy but liked the rest of the breakfast. Then, if you want a drive in the country, there is Howard's in Occidental. Be prepared to wait but it is worth it!

Can we have a WACCO community Sunday brunch/wine tasting get together at STARLITE soon?!!!

:wink:

It is usually helpful for people to know where a recommended place is located.

Oh yes. To offer a good, 'objective recommendation or report' would include the location , wouldn't it?

Right near the infamous Coffee Catz in the ole train!

Wanna meet me for brunch Ms. Terry ?!

[Peace Seeker]

For Santa Rosa denizens and venturesome outlanders:

How about a weekday WaccoBrunch at one of our urban eateries?

I haven't yet tried Abyssinia at 913 4th Street in Santa Rosa.

I'm also up for other locales, but I wanta keep it on the cheap.

The Piner Cafe, at 975 Piner, could be a geographic compromise.

This recommendation sounded like a detailed advertisement - was it written by the owner?

Today I suppose you mean? So I'm supposed to be there in 20 minutes? I live an hour away. And I just ate a big breakfast.

Please, dear lady, a little more advanced notice is needed.

I suspect this is an aborted attempt since few you might have expected to join you were notified in a timely manner.

So give us a nice review of the place and we'll see if we can get together some time in the future.

Yeah, I saw this post too late and had plans anyway. Typically Saturdays are better for me than Sundays.

THANK YOU EVERYONE! For all your suggestions! Much appreciated!!!!

[shellebelle]

We'd love to another day! Just announce one!

The food was great - the company outstanding! Heather the owner is wonderful! We'd do it again in a heart beat!
