Crema's Take

This beloved Fresno spot has mastered the art of the bustling neighborhood gathering place, where a genuinely warm staff manages to make you feel welcomed even when the place is packed shoulder-to-shoulder with regulars. They've built their reputation on generous, craveable breakfast dishes—particularly their standout homestyle potatoes—paired with quality coffee and a refreshingly social atmosphere that keeps people coming back for years. It's the kind of independent cafe where the owner knows your name, the portions are hefty enough to satisfy serious appetites, and the reasonable prices make you feel like you've discovered a secret worth protecting.

My husband and I drove by so many times but always crowded. But we decided to try and got lucky with a place to park. Then as we entered a lovely lady asked us how many then offered 2 spots at the bar or inside seating. We took the bar. Staff was kind even funny which I love. We were served promptly. Every one does their share in the work ethics I saw. Every restaurant I wish was like the staff at Red Apple Cafe. Food was delicious and my coffee bag and hot. Whether you live in Fresno or visiting from somewhere else. You will not be disappointed. We plan to come again.

Lots of food on the plate, so go there, hungry. The food is delicious. Price is reasonable. The staff, is very friendly. Place it is packed with customers, but the wait wasn't very long at all. Great atmosphere. Safe parking and a safe place to eat. Definitely recommend this place to everyone.

I’ve been here many times before, but I’m finally getting around writing a review. I’ve only been here from breakfast so I cannot comment about their lunch menu. Today which is a Wednesday morning is the first time that it was not very busy. All the other times the dining room has been very full. We were greeted and sat immediately. They asked us what we wanted to drink, which we both got coffees. A side note, they have Pepsi products. They have your typical breakfast items but their portions are quite large. I normally get one of the potato scrambles but today I tried the Apple Pie French Toast. My wife got the bacon avocado and jack cheese omelette with country potatoes and a side of biscuits and gravy. I thought the French toast was okay. Something about the apple pie topping was missing but I can’t figure out what. It was a generous portion but I’ll pass on it next time. I’ll stick to the potato scrambles. My wife’s omelette was good and the potatoes were nice and crispy. I’m not a fan of any biscuits and gravy but she likes them here. The wait staff are always nice but this time, she was really good. I wish I remembered her name to give her a shout out. Overall, it’s a great breakfast spot with large portions and super friendly staff. I highly recommend trying it out if you haven’t yet.

I really wanted to have a nice Homestyle breakfast with a friend of mine and suggested this Cafe they are known for their potatoes and boy did they not disappoint. We ordered mimosas with our meal that came out very quickly. I must say I really like the drinks here because they know how to pour. We both ordered the Tequila Sunrise Mimosa which was an excellent choice. Are order was taken by our server and our food came out shortly. I ordered the breakfast with turkey sausage eggs and potatoes. This dish also came with your choice of bread to which I had an English muffin. My friend ordered a vegetable omelette and added bacon to it. The size was incredible and there were definitely leftovers. Overall this is a highly recommended restaurant. In most cases there is a wait,however because we came later in the afternoon we were easy lease seated.
