One of the best places I’ve been to in a long time. Best service, atmosphere and food for the price you pay. Wish I lived here so we could be regulars!

Breakfast was great. Shared some hash and pancakes with my daughter. My mom had Tony's breakfast sandwich and liked it (she's a picky eater btw) my husband enjoyed everything, food, service atmosphere. Be prepared for long lines and limited parking on the weekends, not sure about the weekdays, maybe it's not as busy. They have a tree full of toys from where each kid can pick out one item of their choice.

The last place you can still get breakfast at a good price! They keep their overhead costs low (I assume) by being in the industrial part of town, and only have about 10 parking spots, and when we came on the weekend it was a decent wait, but on a weekday there's no issues with parking or needing to wait. The steak was surprisingly good for only $14.50. And they have homemade corned beef. Yum, definitely recommended.

Home Sweet Home Cafe in Escondido, is a breakfast haven that lives up to its name. Our visit at 8:30am on a Saturday set the perfect tone for a delightful day trip to SD. The short wait before being seated only added to the anticipation, and once inside, the cafe exuded a genuine home away from home atmosphere that was both warm and inviting.
Upon perusing the menu, we were drawn to the promise of a comforting morning meal. The decision to start with their delicious coffee proved to be an excellent choice, served in charming mugs that added a touch of coziness. Our orders included a veggie omelette and home fries, a child’s pancake breakfast, and the much-raved-about biscuits and gravy breakfast special.
The standout of the meal was undeniably the biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were a masterpiece of flakiness and buttery goodness, while the gravy, thick and rich, featured delectable bits of sausage that elevated it to perfection. It's safe to say that their biscuits and gravy are the stuff of dreams. Totally worth the 100 mile drive down from LA.
Beyond the exceptional meal, the service at Home Sweet Home was exceptional, with an attention to diners that set a high standard. A thoughtful touch was the presence of a tree in one corner, where children could pick out a toy—an extra layer of warmth that showcased the cafe's commitment to creating a welcoming environment.
As we left, already planning our return, it was clear that Home Sweet Home had become more than just a cafe—it was a comforting retreat that felt like home. We eagerly anticipate the next opportunity to savor those wonderful biscuits and gravy.

My husband and I were hesitant on coming here because we almost passed it. But coming here was great and the food was amazing. The staff is also really friendly and they all check in on you to make sure your fine. The team work they showed was great as someone who works in the restaurant industry this was one of the best experiences I had in a cafe.
If and when me and my husband pass this town again I'm going to come back. It was that good
