Crema's Take
“Pelton Cafe nails old-school diner breakfast with surprisingly excellent eggs benedict that locals keep coming back for, paired with reliable coffee and a rustic Gold Country vibe that feels authentically unpretentious. It's an easy win if you want a leisurely sit-down breakfast with minimal fuss, ample parking, and a crowd that clearly knows what they're doing.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

A smaller rustic old-fashioned breakfast place that would would be just at home way out in Gold mining country as here in the near East Bay. We had a short wait, parking was not too hard to find, although it is in a busy suburban shopping area. Good portions and good prices,…
I went here on a Tuesday morning with my mother. This was our first time at Pelton Cafe. We were greeted and sat. Asked us if we wanted anything to drink and got our coffees right away. After that it took them a while to come back around and actually get our order. My mom got…
I LOVE THIS DINER!! I was staying in San Leandro for a week with a friend and this place might just be my favorite diner I have ever been to. They have tons of options and everything on the menu tastes great! I’m vegetarian so I love a good veggie burger and their veggie patty…
