Finally I made it in here! After driving by it for years I had the opportunity to eat breakfast. My wife and I were back in California for a few days and were staying in Vacaville. I told her I had been by this place for years and wanted to give it a try. It did not disappoint! The chicken fried steak was very good and the gravy had a good flavor. The service was good and it was very busy on a Sunday morning. This is right off Interstate 80 so its easy on and off. Well worth the time and effort!

Wren’s Cafe in Vacaville, CA, is family owned small spot serving up breakfast and lunch daily. Current hours are 6am-1:30pm. The food is simple, classic ole fashion American breakfast and lunch items (burgers, sandwiches, soup, and salads). The place looks just as it did when it opened in 1986. Been a customer since then. It is located right off Alamo exit off Interstate 80. The food is basic. Not fancy schmazy, nor innovative. The interior has seen better days. Clean but worn. The seating is booth seating and a few counter seats. The folks are hardworking, genuinely friendly, and real. Tip: the restroom (which is a single user) is in the back right corner. The door opens directly into the dining room. So you may want to avoid sitting next to it.

This has been a local staple since my teenage years. My dad woild take me to all breakfast places that had unusually OverSized plates (lumber jack style). Wrens cafe features MAN sized plates for breakfast. I am grateful to be able to take my children to these memorable local establishments, that bring back fond memories of my childhood and past, that make the present day a bit more bearable with memories of our lost loved ones fresh in our minds merely by visiting once again. If your in the area- and you cant decide on a place to go, give this one a shot. Maybe just maybe you can imprint a similar memory for your loved ones to experience one day long after your gone. Places like this one are still going because of their true commitment to provide a family style place to make memories. When your facing the end of your days the onky thing we have left are memories. Make as many good ones as you cna while you can. Lunch served at breakfast upon request- i had the steak sandwich and fries/salad my daughter had the bacon, potatoes and eggs/toast. Anothet great memory made - i truly hope that she one day can come here to remember this simple breakfast with dad.

Wren's Cafe in Vacaville, is a charming and cozy restaurant that serves up delicious breakfast and lunch dishes. With so many breakfast options nearby, we decided to visit on a slow Monday morning and were impressed with our dining experience. The menu at Wren's Cafe offers a variety of options, from classic breakfast items like pancakes and omelettes to hearty lunch dishes like burgers and sandwiches. We ordered the chicken fried steak, a side of homemade biscuits, a protein (lettuce wrapped) burger, veggie omelette, and the blueberry pancake special. The chicken fried steak was crispy and flavorful, served with a side of piping hot home potatoes, creamy gravy and fluffy eggs that were a perfect complement to the dish. The protein burger was also delicious, with a juicy beef patty topped with bacon, cheese, and avocado and wrapped in fresh iceberg lettuce. The veggie omelette was robustly filled with fresh and tasty vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, and bell peppers. The blueberry pancake special was a standout dish, with fluffy pancakes studded with plump and juicy blueberries baked into the pancake. The dish was served with a side of bacon, adding a savory element to the sweet breakfast dish. The ambiance at Wren's Cafe is cozy and welcoming, with friendly staff and a comfortable dining area. The restaurant is small, but the decor is charming and the atmosphere is perfect for a leisurely breakfast or lunch. Nearly every seat was taken at 11:30am. Overall, Wren's Cafe in Vacaville is a great spot for anyone looking for delicious and satisfying breakfast or lunch dishes in a charming and cozy setting. The food is well-prepared, the portions are generous, and the service is friendly and attentive. We would definitely recommend it to anyone in the area looking for a great local breakfast or lunch spot.

Food was amazing. By far the best food I've had at a restaurant in a very long time. This is a small mom and pop place but that's what I like about it. Servers helped everyone, quick, and great price. I just wish I would've had the biscuits and gravy.
