One of the best Cafés in Escondido, fantastic Family atmosphere, excellent service, great food. Everything you want for a service experience.

This place is awesome.. this is our second time here and this place does not disappoint..

By far one of my favorite. Extremely "home vibes" Food is delicious and super affordable.

Home Sweet Home Cafe in Escondido turned out to be an unexpected delight during what started as a routine, somewhat tedious day. I had a doctor's appointment scheduled and, being notoriously early, I found myself with time to kill. Not wanting to sit in the waiting room for ages, I decided to explore the local scene and, after a quick search on Yelp, landed on Home Sweet Home Cafe. It was close by, had good reviews, and seemed like the perfect spot to relax for a bit. Little did I know, it would end up being one of the highlights of my day. As I pulled up to the cafe, I was immediately struck by the vibrant and whimsical window paintings. They had completely transformed their windows with a Disney theme, and it was absolutely charming. It's not every day that you walk into a place that feels so immediately inviting. The colorful, playful artwork set a cheerful tone right from the start and made me eager to see what the inside would be like. Stepping through the doors, I was met with a completely different vibe--one that was equally as welcoming but in a more profound way. The entire place is decked out in military veteran memorabilia and patriotic decor. As a veteran, this really resonated with me. The walls told stories of service and sacrifice, with every corner filled with badges, flags, and photos that pay homage to those who have served. It felt like a space where respect and gratitude were more than just words; they were the foundation of the whole place. It's rare to find a cafe that so perfectly balances a cozy, homely atmosphere with such a deep sense of respect for its community. After soaking in the decor, I settled in and ordered a glass of water and one of their renowned skillets. Now, I've had my fair share of breakfast skillets, but this one was on another level. The first thing I noticed was the portion size--it was hearty, to say the least. Just looking at it, I knew I was in for a real treat. The gravy was the star of the show--rich, savory, and perfectly seasoned. It had this incredible depth of flavor that tied the whole dish together. The eggs were cooked to perfection, exactly the way I like them, with a slightly runny yolk that mixed wonderfully with the gravy. Each bite was comforting, filling, and absolutely delicious. This wasn't just a meal; it was an experience that reminded me of why I love breakfast food so much. But the food, as fantastic as it was, wasn't the only thing that impressed me. The service at Home Sweet Home Cafe was exceptional. The staff were attentive and friendly, always ready with a smile. They kept my water glass full without me ever having to ask, and they did it all with genuine warmth. It's clear that they take pride in what they do, and it made all the difference. Their attentiveness made me feel valued, which isn't something you find everywhere these days. In short, Home Sweet Home Cafe is a place that truly lives up to its name. It's more than just a cafe--it's a community hub where you feel right at home the moment you walk through the door. Whether you're a veteran or just someone who appreciates great food and even better service, this is a spot you shouldn't miss if you're in Escondido. I know I'll be back, and next time, I might even bring a few friends to share in the experience. It's not often you find a place that checks all the boxes, but Home Sweet Home Cafe does just that--and then some.

Home Sweet Home truly lives up to its name. This charming restaurant offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease. The friendly staff adds to the homey feel, making you feel like a valued guest. But the real star of the show is the food. Their breakfast menu is a delightful assortment of classic dishes, all prepared with care and served in generous portions. Every bite is a taste of comfort food done right. If you're looking for a delicious and satisfying breakfast experience, Home Sweet Home is definitely worth a visit.

Great place for breakfast or lunch. In an industrial area across from a welding gas distributor. Don't let this stop you! Awesome service, great burgers, great breakfast items. Reccomended! Place is pretty neat as a diner.

One of the best breakfast spots! I have been coming here for years. The staff is always friendly. The food is always good. They are located in an industrial area and they have a parking lot. The restaurant feels homey and cosy.

The food was overall good. They have good size portions and the service was great. The ambiance was very down to earth, casual and I love that. I ordered the Eggs Benedict (traditional) and I must say, the sauce was not very flavorful. It was definitely missing something. I had to add a little salt & that wasn't it. Everything else was great, the pancakes, hash browns, fruit, etc. Although.... The coffee needs to be stronger! Or at least have a couple pots of the regular "lighter" coffee & a couple "stronger" coffee pots (not the strong because it's been out all day). Overall, it was a good place. I'd eat there again, just take my own coffee.

First time trying out this place. Gave the feel of a warm and welcoming home. I loved the cute signs. Renee and Dawn were so sweet and kind. I noticed they were extra busy and I think they forgot to refill our coffee. lol Anyway, I still had a good experience. We ordered the "Tom"-let" Veggie Omelet with Bacon & Cheese with Hash browns and rye bread. And the Biscuit & Gravy Special 1 Biscuit & Gravy, 2 Eggs, Potatoes & 2 Bacon or 1 Sausage Link The food was good. Kinda like something a Mom would make ( comfort) for their kid. I also noticed that they have a Christmas tree with gifts under it for children. That's really sweet too! Nice experience here.

Good old American diner right here. The meal we had at Home Sweet Home Cafe was excellent. The service was excellent too! People kept coming through the door on a random Tuesday morning which spoke volumes about this place. Parking is a little tricky, but you won't be sorry you spun the block a few times. Plenty of room inside for big parties! Ordered the corned beef hash w/hash browns & a biscuit and it was delicious! The hash brown was crunchy & the eggs were cooked just right while the corned beef was flavorful. That biscuit could have used another minute or two in the oven, but it was still sooo good. That whipped butter was a highlight too! We also opted for the silver dollar pancakes just to get a taste of their pancakes without going overboard. It came with three cute pieces and did not disappoint. So fluffyyy, so good. There was not one bad thing about our meal. You can't beat the prices here & the services was top-notch! Thanks for a great breakfast!
