Reviews For El Cajon Bistro & Bakery-Bistro

We loved it! They were busy and we were informed about the 30 mins wait time and no special request -- but they were able to deliver our food in less than the time frame they said. We came to this place after we went hiking. The food hits the spot, they have a wide selection of fresh & healthy drinks and food. The best part was their vegetarian options and dog friendly.

The gentleman behind the counter was amazing. Lots of positive energy and very knowledgeable. The food was top-notch as well. I highly recommend going here for breakfast.

Spectacular breakfast options! Great juice and smoothie options. We dined inside and bought pancakes to go. Staff had the courteous forethought to bring the takeout to us just as we finished so the meal would travel as warm as possible. The Popeye omelette was delicious!

This place is good. I lived in El Cajon for a year, and I ate here probably 10 times.The food is very good, and I even brother my family too eat here.It's sit-down dining, but I appreciate that they're quick and polite. The prices aren't bad either.If you're close to here, go to here

I had the Thai Chicken Wrap. It was very good. It is filled with a liquid sauce that spilled out everywhere, so be aware that it is very messy to eat. Frankly I would prefer the sauce to be a little thicker and with a stronger peanut flavor, but it is definitely good as is.
