Village Cafe
4148 1/2 N Viking Way, Lakewood, CA
Crema's Take
“This Lakewood gem excels at the kind of slow, leisurely breakfast that feels like visiting a friend's kitchen, with homemade pancakes studded with real berry chunks, perfectly seasoned pork chops and eggs, and a genuinely charming crew (Dave's heater management and Sue's warm greetings are legendary) who make regulars feel like family. The outdoor seating and light food options mean you can linger over coffee and conversation, whether you're there for their standout French toast and Reuben or just to soak in the quaint, welcoming atmosphere that keeps people coming back for years.”

Fresh and delicious food! Fish and chips was excellent! Great service too.
This place is the best! My favorites are the french toast and the reuben. We tend to eat outside with Dave, a staple there who handles the heaters and any other husband duties. Sue greets everyone there. Highly recommend.
This is such a sweet spot! The food is delicious the service was phenomenal and I don't use that word lightly. The restaurant itself is quaint and charming you can sit inside or outside. We definitely can't wait to go back and try the lunch menu. They close at 2:00 p.m. so make sure you get there early. And this place is super popular so there can be long lines. One really cool thing they do though is when you're standing in line they have a coffee service out there where you can grab yourself a free cup of coffee while you're waiting in line. And the coffee is really really good 😋🤗
Great meal. Great service. Loved the hasbrowns and pancakes. My husband thought the Rueben was phenomenal (and he is a big meat guy). Cameron was an excellent server with a constant smile.
Excellent place for a good breakfast. The pork chops and eggs are delicious and seasoned to perfection. Their pancakes and jelly's are home made with chunks of the berry, they are so good. My 10 year old daughter stopped by for the first time, we are glad we did. We will visit this place regularly. Updated in 2022 and still an awesome spot. They now have a pozole dish that's to die for. I highly recommend this spot.
