Greenhouse Cafe

Such a cute hidden little gem. Reasonably priced home cooking! The server couldn’t be nicer! They greet the loyal locals like family! What a gem!

Greenhouse Cafe embodies all the best things that a local neighborhood cafe offers… tasty food served by the nicest staff.

The signature menu items that I absolutely find to be the best around is the turkey club sandwich and eggs benedict. For the sandwich they use real fresh roasted turkey. Ohh that makes a huge taste difference. The bacon is cooked to a perfect crispness, no rare edges and not burnt either. The egg benedict’s hollandaise sauce is fantastic. Smooth with a just right consistency and emulsification. Flavorful, buttery with oh so slight lemon taste. The eggs are poached to treat you to a show of egg ooziness when pierced.

On days they are short staffed, they tape a sign on the front door indicating that and apologizing for the possible longer service times. In any given day, you’ll probably see Claudia, the owner, working. She has a great friendly demeanor.

Another thing to note is the bathroom situation. It’s located around the corner of the cafe. To access it, you’ll need to ask for the key. It’s kept clean.

Nice little spot for breakfast or lunch! Our new go-to for a grocery shopping morning. Everything is cooked perfectly. I think my only complaint was no salsa with the breakfast burrito, that seems like it should be a requirement. Highly recommend Greenhouse Cafe either way.

Very cute cafe! Love the decor & atmosphere.
We ordered breakfast: Eggs Benedict with homemade fries and biscuits and gravy. Great service, great food and overall great experience.

Great cute place to eat. It’s a classic diner with tasty family recipes that make it superior to other diners. Fair prices and fantastic staff. I and the people I ate with all had a great time and cleaned our plates. Thank you

Fresh, Yummy, food made to order.
Customer service is outstanding.
The young man, Kylan provided excellent service and anticipated our every need.
Get there early, always busy.
Even the "take out" service and food is one of a kind.
The portions are appropriate and the food is always served hot and tasty.
Patty Melt, French Fries, and extra pickles
Are the way to go!!!

Been there twice in recently everything was great. In the past I went often. I was working at the time and had extra money now living on a fix income do not go as often. Service has always been excellent and food is very good.

Local favorite! Great food, great coffee, great service! 10/10 recommend!

Excellent service. Great selection on menu. I had eggs benedict and it exceeded my expectations. Ham was fresh and not too thick or thin. I like to be able to cut through the benedict with my fork and it did. My daughter got a #3 on the "mini" menu. Includes one pancake and sausage patty. The pancake was cooked perfectly and topped with whipped butter and syrup.

Very good food and service with a smile. Places like this are a dying breed unfortunately. Definitely be back

We happened upon this purely by accident. We were early for an event in Placerville and we were hungry so we decided to try and find a quick breakfast spot. We found The Greenhouse Cafe tucked way back in a shopping mall. Honestly, if not for the red umbrella out front, we may have never found it.
Well the staff was friendly, the service fantastic and the food? One of the best breakfast meals I have had in I don't know when.
We will be back, but this time on purpose!

Greenhouse Cafe is the best kept breakfast secret El Dorado County has to offer. Amazing food, a cozy atmosphere and incredible staff will have you coming back again and again. Cleanliness and service were all top notch. Would 100% reccommend

Great food, clean establishment, nice staff. Hash browns we're super yummy

This place harkens back to a time when restaurants were simple affairs with limited menus, friendly service, and serving sizes that wouldn’t leave you stuffed and hating yourself for the rest of the day.

I am not going to say the food was the best I have ever had - it was good, and that’s all I wanted. The prices are even with all other breakfast spots (perhaps a tad cheaper).

If you are looking for a cute, simple, single-room restaurant which doesn’t specialize in anything but doing a good job with friendly service, you can’t go wrong here.

Our first visit. Great food and excellent service. They roast their own turkey. Three of us had turkey dishes and loved them all. Also had French Toast at the table and it was great! We will be back!

I’ve been here a total of 3 times but I will go here more often. Family owned and very respectful. The frenchtoast is great! It reminds of eating at my aunts house. She has kids but they are all grown up and moved on but when she cooks it’s amazing. The price is affordable which gives me more for the tip... When you eat here you will not be disappointed. Felt really good vibes here and the service was great!!!

Best customer service in town. This place is old school in a great way. No gimmicks to attract tourists just great food and happy servers. Try the french toast, you will not be disappointed, thick slices and sweet and just yummy in general. If you end up getting eggs, hash browns or home fries, try it with a side of their home-made salsa.

Popped in for breakfast It was way better than I expected it to be thanks greenhouse Cafe

This is a breakfast/lunch favorite in Placerville. They have a good selection of omelets, benedicts & also smaller meals for the young. The waiter kept the coffee coming & made sure everyone had all we wanted. Don't miss their biscuits. Big, flaky & delicious.
For lunch, I almost always have the chicken salad with cranberries & walnuts, served with a delicious vinegrette & my mom gets the turkey sandwich & French fries.
I've never been disappointed with any menu choices.
Oh, don't forget to read the daily special on the whiteboard just inside by the door.👍

Arguably the best French toast I've had in years. Kind of pricey but really high quality across the board, no skimping here so willing to pay an extra dollar or two per plate. Very thankful this is like this are still open after covid!
