Crema's Take
“Lafayette Coffee Shop serves the kind of no-nonsense comfort food and breakfast that feels like it hasn't changed in decades—massive portions of meatloaf, bacon eggs, and mashed potatoes at prices that seem impossible in the Bay Area. This is a genuine mom-and-pop diner where you go for honest, filling food and quick service, not Instagram moments or specialty espresso drinks. If you want the best value meal within reach of Lafayette and don't mind eating in a place that prioritizes sustenance over aesthetics, this is your spot.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Quick and easy service on a Sunday night. Their dinner specials are absolutely delicious and cheap. Had the meatloaf and it was HEAPING with gravy and mash potatoes. The special also comes with dessert, and that's evening the owner made rice pudding that was just the right…
A hidden gem. Fresh home cooking, large portions great value.
There is no atmosphere in this restaurant. It is a one of a kind old fashion mom and pop run establishment that serves comfort food. The portions are large and the prices are reasonable in this modern age. We had the prime rib and it was excellent. The menu changes daily so…
Best value for money fast home-cooking diner you can find this side of SF. No frills, quick but friendly service. Great for simple but satisfying dinners or breakfast.
