My daughter and I had breakfast the other day at the Daybreak Cafe in Penn Valley, California. There was plenty of seating available and we were greeted as we came in. The menu and daily specials offered were all very tasty. Our order was taken quickly and our food came out hot. The dishes we selected were both very good. There are clean bathrooms available and there is plenty of parking.

Great Good food, excellent friendly service, happy place, small about 50 + people. They made me a special omelet (they named off veggie they had in stock. So i got all my favorites plus cheese. Real good great. Loved it. Very tasty.

I love the patty melt with extra grilled onions!
Edit: This place has really gone downhill. The staff is flakey and unprofessional. They can and will forget your order. I went back for a patty melt twice, and it was gross. Not melted. I won’t be back. I don’t know if they have new owners or what happened. It is now more expensive for poor service and trash food.

Don’t go here if you’re disabled.
I have no idea if she was having a bad day, but the lady at the counter got very hostile about my trained service dog when we tried to dine here yesterday afternoon. We hadn’t even said a word when she snapped at us that dogs weren’t allowed and we had to sit outside, and only after informed us that an employee was “deathly” allergic to dogs. Honestly wouldn’t have had a problem with sitting outside if she weren’t so aggressive. She pointed out a sign that said they reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason, but that doesn’t cover outright discrimination…

I am a retired professor and live 15 minutes from the Daybreak Cafe. I have seen it change from an everyday bacon & eggs, boring cafe, to an innovative, favorite of mine. This is all due to the creative mind of it’s new owner, Cindy and Cookie, the chef. Not only are the omelets creative, try the Chile Pavo for lunch. A delicious sandwich of turkey, cheese and Ortega chile on sourdough. Even the fries are uniquely fried in beer batter.

12/14/2024 UPDATE:
A sign in the window said it was under new ownership so I thought I’d give them another shot. Any positive reviews of this place have to be from friends and family as they screwed up my orders so many times I stopped going. I thought things might improve with the new owners, sadly not the case.
I ordered my usual: chicken fried steak, two scrambled eggs, hash browns, and toast. I came home to find I got chicken fried steak, two over easy eggs, AND NO HASH BROWNS.
Like I said, all good reviews must be by friends or family because I have never had anything go right at this establishment. The new ownership didn’t change a thing. I mean, you make these meals every day. How hard is it to follow a ticket (and yes, I have actually been a short order cook)? And to forget an entire part of the meal, dude? Give the restaurant back to the other owners. My order was always screwed up but at least I got all the parts to the meal.
I only kept going here because it was the only breakfast place in Penn Valley. Now that the Northridge (right next door and a dollar cheaper for the same meal) started doing breakfast, I’ll be giving them all my business from now on. I suggest the reader of this review to do the same as it is apparently literally impossible for the Day Break to get anything right.
DO NOT ORDER ONLINE/DOORDASH!
I called a few times attempting to place an order to go. No one answered. I saw an option to order online. I made my selection, paid for my order and got an email from DoorDash that my order was placed. About five minutes later I got another email stating Day Break confirmed my order and it would be ready at 11:05am. I arrived at 11:05am and told them I hear for a DoorDash order. They told me they never confirmed the order because they didn’t have it in stock. I showed them the email stating they did confirm the order. They looked at their DoorDash screen and said, “Well, we’re too busy to text or call when stuff isn’t in stock.” I asked for my money back. They looked at their screen again and told me they couldn’t find my order now and they’re too busy to investigate further and told me to take it up with DoorDash. The app and chatbot just tell you it’s the restaurant’s responsibility and give you their contact info. I tried calling again but it just rang. If they can’t handle DoorDash orders, they shouldn’t offer the service.
On another note, the quality of the food has severely gone downhill since the new owners bought it. The only thing I order is the country fried steak and eggs. I have to order a side of gravy as it now only comes with about two tablespoons on the steak. When I bring it home I have to finish cooking the hash browns as they are raw in the middle and put the warm bread they call toast back in the toaster. The gravy tastes like it’s probably a powder mix and the steaks are preformed from Sysco or something, definitely not made in house.
Why did I order if it’s so crappy?
I love country fried steak and was really craving it but didn’t feel like going all the way up to Lumberjacks.
I won’t make that mistake again.

We brought a group in to try things out as the sign said new owners. We were hopeful we would have a decent local place to go. The first clue should have been the old menus with scratched out prices, additions, and notes. We should have left then. We felt committed when coffee came. It was lukewarm but at least it was coffee. It wasn’t until later one person noticed the lipstick on the cup. They only had one water glass that looked like it was a thrift store find so the rest of the waters were brought in Styrofoam. We tried a few breakfast options (one party member wisely opted out of ordering after the initial signs) and unfortunately none of the meals was really enjoyable. In addition to the abundance of butter slathered on the bread, the crunchy “over easy” egg, and charred hash browns…. there were many odd flavors, likely from burning and cooking items on a shared griddle. The bacon didn’t even taste like bacon… just the odd flavor from the grill. Almost an hour later we all still have an odd taste in our mouth. All in all…4 meals with coffee for about $70. The waitress was sweet.

Really cute and cozy diner vibes! I got biscuits and gravy, they were delicious. Coffee was hot & fresh. My partner got an iced tea and said it was perfect. Eggs cooked just how I wanted and the sausage was the best part. Would stop by again!

Hadn’t been here in many years and decided to try it again. Horrible mistake. First red flag is that it needs a deep deep cleaning. The floors were sticky dirty. Ketchup bottle was sticky. The soda was flat and the water tasted odd. The cook was on the phone while cooking and handling our food. The thought of what germs were being transferred to our food from the phone was disgusting. The burgers were not seasoned and the thousand island dressing used overpowered the flavor of anything else. And while we were trying to make the best of it we could hear the owner/manager/cook….whomever it was, talking about the menu prices they are charging on door dash. It was just strange. Our bill was $47.00 for two burgers, fries and sodas…..outrageous! Will not go back even if it was the last restaurant in town.
