Breakfast food is one of my favorites, and I was stoked to get to try this place. Its high reviews have been reflected well. The service was tip notch. We were seated quickly and served water and beverages quickly. The cups were refilled very quickly when needed. Our waitress came as soon as the rest of our group arrived. I ordered the breakfast combo #6, which comes with 2 eggs, hashbrowns, a choice of meat, and a pancake. I also ordered a side of Hollandaise. The best part was the pancake, homemade, and cooked to perfection. I’ve wanted to learn how to make these kinds of pancakes but have yet to learn the secret. The hashbrowns are a great portion and were so golden and crisp. The bacon was a bit overcooked, but I don’t mind crunchy bacon.

This cafe is a wonderful, cozy spot we stumbled on while in St. Paul. We travel a lot for tournaments and the breakfast along with the service at The Capital View was by far some of the best we’ve had! The food was full of flavor, generous portion sizes and our cups of coffee were never empty before the next refill. We left full and caffeinated! Highly recommended stopping in!

I ordered take out. I had the everything omelet, fried potatoes and cinnamon raisin toast. The omelet was good. The toast was burnt and the potatoes had good flavor but over cooked as well. My husband had the bone in ham. Very big and juicy. Shredded hash brown which was burnt as well. The eggs were fine. Overall, I can give them another try. It maybe better the next time.

My new favorite breakfast place! I have been to all the great spots in the Twin Cities metro area and this is the best menu I have seen. Food is EGGS-ELENT, prices are nice, and staff is great!

This place was great! My old man and I gave this place an opportunity and it didn’t fail. It was definitely an awesome experience. Staff was kind and generous. Food was fantastic. The cafe itself was coozy. I am going to be coming here a lot more. Places like this deserve all the props it can get. Good job Capital View Cafe!

Food was very good, but the prices listed were not what we were charged, each item was at least two dollars higher than listed in the menu. Then when it was time to pay they gave us a hard time about paying by card, they should have said something before we ordered! Had the prices actually been what was listed I MIGHT have had enough cash on me. Maybe. Most people don’t carry a lot of cash these days. I’m hesitant to return if the prices are going to be at the whim of the server and not what is printed, even though the food was good.

Good food, tho lots of cheese so be sure to let them know how much you’d like. Went on a Sunday morning and were seated pretty quickly, and had great service. Highly recommend, especially for those hangover cures

Very good experience for casual breakfast. We lost power, so out for breakfast and craving Heavos Rancheros. Wife had excellent waffles. They got very busy, still took care of us.

In addition to catering for weddings and events, they have a room available to rent for private parties. The walls are decorated with paintings of regular customers and past staff. Painted by a retired priest known as “McDonald.” Try their Cajun breakfast or the Churro waffles!
