Early Riser Cafe

I am going to give this place 5 stars because the food was so good. I enjoyed my meal, it was made just how I ordered it. Perfect portions and the coffee is fresh. It was busy when I went but it didn’t feel overcrowded the seating is spaced out and you have your space and it doesn’t feel like you are on top of people. I will definitely be back to try everything on the menu.

This was my first visit to Early Riser Cafe, and I was thoroughly impressed. Our server, Liz, provided exceptional service—she was warm, attentive, and incredibly helpful. Her cheerful and engaging personality contributed greatly to the welcoming atmosphere. The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. The music selection also added to the enjoyable ambiance. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I look forward to returning.

This place used to be good. We had gone several times. My husband and I went today for lunch. We ordered chicken fried chicken and chicken fried steak. We were on our lunch hour. After over 30 minutes from ordering food still not served. We were the only customers in the place. The employees who work the front were just sitting playing on their phone and one was talking on her phone. My husband went to the counter and one of the employees got up and said oh it is ready now. My husband said we needed it to go as we were on our lunch breaks. The packed the food up. Went to heat it up for dinner. The chicken fried steak was a thin piece of roast beef breaded. Not even close to beefsteak. Chicken was very overcooked and dry. I think it is under new ownership as it was never like this before.

This was our first time trying Early Riser Cafe in Cypress. We walked in hoping to find a new breakfast spot to add to our rotation. When we arrived, the restaurant was empty, and I will say our server was very nice and welcoming. One thing we immediately noticed, though, was that the menu prices were crossed out and changed. The waitress explained that prices have been fluctuating, but it did feel a little unpolished and confusing seeing gouged-out pricing on multiple items. I ordered the breakfast quesadilla, and my wife got the South of the Border omelet. We also had the roasted potatoes, which ended up being a very small portion. My main issue was that several items listed (or expected) didn’t come as described. The quesadilla was supposed to come with sour cream and pico, but they weren’t served on the side. We were told the pico was inside the quesadilla, which wasn’t noted on the menu. Additionally, both dishes had raw, unsautéed onions mixed into the scrambled eggs. That wasn’t listed in the description, and I personally don’t like raw onions, so it definitely affected the meal for me. I think ingredients like that should be clearly stated. The cheese sauce tasted like standard heated nacho cheese and was very runny, not what we expected from a breakfast dish. The sour cream also tasted off. Overall, while the service was friendly, the food and menu presentation didn’t meet expectations. Unfortunately, we probably won’t be returning.
