Love this little mom and pop coffee house serving breakfast and lunch. The staff is super friendly. The amount of food they give you for the price without skimping on anything is amazing! They take pride in what they are serving and you can tell. The food is tasty without salting. Down home cooked meals. If you are looking for that feel good comfort food..this is the place. Enjoyed every minute of my lunch from the taste to the atmosphere. It’s like I stepped back in time and shared a meal with family and good friends! Highly recommend!
Simply put : The quintessential Florida diner. The favourite of many a ormond beach local, the Rivergate cafe has offered good company, kind staff, good food and a smile to my family for generations. What was once my mothers favourite pace to get coffee before attending seabreeze highschool in the 80s, now has also become my go-to-diner on many a morning. Rarely has any food or restaurant so consistently put a smile.
Best Chili Slaw Dog Ive had in forever! Big portions, good prices and friendly staff. This is my comfort food spot. Oh and the chili was delish!!
Diner perfection. A small, simple menu means they do everything well. The stuffed pancakes look like theyll be too sweet, with the blueberries in a syrup, but its not at all. Theyre tart like they should be, so the whipped cream--which is light and delicate--makes a slightly sweet counterpoint. The sausage, potatoes and biscuit breakfast special today was also top-notch.Prices are typical diner rates, but this is better value since its such good food.It can be busy for breakfast, so you might have to wait by the door if there arent enough tables. It gets crowded when its full.
My sausage gravy and scrapple were perfect.;also an excellent value. As a new ”local”, I will definitely be returning.
Very nice little breakfast spot. Great variety of items, friendly staff, good prices.
Great service & friendly atmosphere a pleasant place to have breakfast!!
Excellent place to eat a cheap, quality breakfast. Me and my GF try to come here once a week. The servers are very nice and the food comes out quick! I would recommend this place to anybody.
Delicious breakfast and very affordable.
My favorite place for breakfast!
Great place to eat breakfast. Surfers were very attentive. Never had a bad meal here.👍👍👍👍👍
Food was average at best. I had a biscuit and gravy and a side of corned beef hash. Gravy tasted like it was out of a packet and biscuit was just a frozen biscuit microwaved. Corned beef hash was ok. I went to pay my bill and was informed they add 50 cents to your bill to use a debit or credit card. I’m sorry but taking credit cards should be just a cost of doing business. Passing along this fee to the customer is ridiculous. I can understand a minimum charge to use a credit card, but not every transaction. I gave it two stars instead of one because the service was good. I will not be back though.
Great food and service.
I love this place. I love the french toast and my man loves the farmers omelette. The servers are very friendly and go out of there way to make us happy.
A local breakfast and lunch spot. Expect fast friendly service and good food. It is seat yourself and you may have to wait a few minutes for a table at peak times, but table turnover is brisk and Ive never waited long. Expect to hear friendly conversations as regulars greet each other, and to be able to hear your own conversation. Stacked BLT one of my favorites - good tomatoes, extra bacon.
The food is good.. the place could use a good cleaning!!!!
One of my favorite restaurants in Volusia county
Had a great breakfast, friendly service comfortable ambiance!!! Dont miss out on this gem
The great gals that work the floor are amazing!!! Service is A+++!! . Food is very good and fresh..I had lost a 500 dollar gold diamond eating in the restaurant 3 weeks ago and came in today with family for birthday BREAKFAST...and just pulled out the warring and asked did you happen to find this earring?? Debbie said yes!!!! I cried! What a birthday present!! What a good soul she is to have saved it.! Thank you..thank you thank you!
Love this little hole in the wall. My favorite breakfast place. And their mac n cheese is to DIE for! Rich, creamy, and delicious. Best ever!
Rivergate is our favorite breakfast place. I usually have the banana walnut pancakes. Today I branched out and ordered the farmers omelet. It was awesome. So big with hash browns and toast. The waitress brought me a box when she brought our plates! I needed it. My box was filled. Tomorrows breakfast for sure.
Good neighborhood type diner restaurant. Good is homey and good. Friendly wait staff. Always busy.
Amazing food absolutely best Ive tasted in a very long time, reasonably priced, OUTSTANDING service. Will definitely be back!

Delicious food, friendly fast service. Fun deco. Great diner experience!
Consistently delicious and well prepared food. Great service and friendly staff.
Best fries and burger ever I 100% recommend Rivergate Coffee shop
The ladies here keep it real & delicious. Ive never been there that the service, food & prices werent great. Theyre the best team going at keeping your drinks refilled, seeing how youre doing & making you feel at home. Im a Southern girl & thats high praise!
This is a family owned restaurant and they treat their customers like family as well. Most of us know each other on a first name basis so it feels like a family. And the food is really good,good sized portions, you never leave hungry
Fresh eggs cooked exactly as requested (over medium), crispy bacon, grilled sausage links, slightly crunchy hash browned potatoes, creamy grits with butter, LA hot sauce, juicy sliced tomatoes, rye toast with Smuckers strawberry jelly and steaming hot coffee served by a smiling and attentive wait staff. Otherwise, everything was great...the Perfect Breakfast...5 stars with Oak Leaf Cluster...!!!
A real coffee shop with good food. Small but friendly. Like to go there for breakfast when Im in the area
We enjoyed our breakfast this morning. My hash was cooked the I ordered and my husbands Farmers Omelet was very good.
Small business. Prices are moderate. Typically go for breakfast which cost around $7.95 for the meal. The food is good. Bring cash or be prepared to pay a fee to use a card.
Hands down the absolute best breakfast diner in Florida ! The food is fresh, perfectly cooked and the establishment is clean and well kept. The staff is friendly and made you feel right at home. The prices are more than fair. I really cannot say enough! We were passing through, ran into some car trouble and spied this little gem from across the street. We had the bacon omlet, countryfried steak and eggs and a full order of biscuits and gravy. The biscuits are PERFECTLY made, like grandmas, but fluffier. We are not from anywhere near here but best believe next time we come through this town we will absolutely come eat at the Rivergate Coffee shop! Hats off to the staff and cooks ❤
Wow, at first this place was a bit too pricey for me but you get so much food, ended up eating the leftovers for 2 days! Would recommend this place in a heartbeat.
Great service and very friendly staff. Well worth the wait.
Very cozy atmosphere, staff are great and food comes out quick n hot. Try their specials board. Locals hangout.
