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??? Probably not although it was a quiet little local café service & food needs lots of improvement! I still paid & tipped for my food even though the experience I had there wasn’t good . Maybe lunch menu isn’t their specialty … ♀️

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

Best veggie omelette in town! I’ve been coming to this place for many years and it has been so consistently good. The staff is always super friendly and service is fantastic. The prices have stayed affordable and food rarely disappoints. Totally recommend!

A small and cozy, papas and mamas type cafe. The food is good, the staff is friendly.
I had a great time to chat with the owner (I assume). She is super friendly.
The fruit cup is amazing, I’ve never seen the varieties of fruit such as banana, pineapple, green and red grapes, orange, red grapefruit, and kiwi.
The salsa tastes so fresh.
They grind the coffee beans and brew, which is impressive.
It is a hidden gem!

The most DISGUSTING food I’ve ever forced myself to eat! But I ate some of it because I was ridiculously hungry. When I walked in the waitress was just standing and ignoring me and I was right about to leave when she finally acknowledged me. The name “Budget Cafe” would seem to imply that it is a budget friendly cafe, but it is not in any sense, as the prices are 100% standard prices. But rather, it is the cafe that seems to be on a budget, as it serves/resells the worst store bought food on the shelves (including Velveeta FAKE cheese and BLEACHED “Wonder Bread”). I wonder why people eat food that literally has bleach in it without them realizing how different it tastes. The bread issue can be common among restaurants, but fake cheese is a total joke and is pretty much a lie if they want to say that it’s American cheese. Made in America perhaps, but not cheese. A $15 omelette that I wish I had just declined as soon as I saw the pre-sliced “Cheese” on top of it.

Ordered the bacon and egg breakfast, the bacon was cold and dry like it had been microwaved the eggs were fine but the hash browns were so greasy and lukewarm, the bread was also super salty it was hard to eat. The waitress was nice but even so I wouldn’t recommend this place and won’t coming back.
