Tole House Café:
The Tole House Café is a great breakfast and lunch spot not too far from Auto Club Speedway. Mike and Jennifer Towles opened the restaurant in 1999 after tiring of the corporate world and have been serving it up ever since.
Every breakfast item gets rave reviews, but the five-egg omelette is the meal hearty eaters have been enjoying for years. Check out the Tole House Omelette: five eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, bell pepper, onion, mushroom and cheese….smothered in country gravy.
A large variety of traditional breakfasts is complimented by a “South of the Border” menu featuring burritos and a few other options. Lunch meals include hot or cold sandwiches, burgers and other “munchies”.
