Sacramento, CA

The Pancake Circus is a must eat place if you're in or visiting the Sacramento area. The breakfasts are generous, the service is good, and the food is tasty!

Check out this flashback to the times when a neighborhood coffee shop was the place to grab a hot meal. Give It's Tops a try if you're in the Bay Area.

This fun sign for Dave's points to an eatery that appears to sadly be no more. Check out the dancing chef character on this marquee who appears rather happy at this point in time.

Here's the sign above the restaurant area at Mel's Bowl in Redwood City, CA. Looks like the lettering was at the least formerly neon.


Denny's Restaurant

Sneak a peek at this classic old Denny's sign, made long before Denny's followed through on notions to become a diner.


This Redwood City location also features a traditional Armet and Davis designed boomerang siding on its restaurant. Luckily, this Denny's doesn't appear to have been "dinerized" yet.

Here's another of the Armet and Davis styled Denny's, still in pristine shape.

Here's the Hunter's Grill of Yuba City. This coffee shop was once a Sambo's Restaurant. The side view looks like a polygon version of a boomerang. Many thanks to Mark Fahey for the Sambo's ID


Chinese Restaurant
Fairfield, CA

Here's a restaurant that looks to be straight out of the coffee shop architecture book. Check out the roofline and subtle boomerang sidings.


Biff's Coffee Shop (Closed)
Oakland, CA

Yes, although this place may belong in Roadside Peek's Northern California section, Biff's certainly belongs among the classic coffee shops. A non-profit group called Save Biff's saved this one from the big coffee shop in the sky.
