Located next to the Monterey Bay Rec. trail, this eatery is a great place to stop at mid-way on your hike, bike, or run. Great coffee and tasty morsels to eat. Be aware or beware of the heavy hand with the garlic, though.

Food was different. I tried the black bean burger,wasn't bad. The fries here are awesome. Nice and small,so still simple. Another great place to walk to. Going back on friday.
This is the place if you value location, food, and ambience way above service. Really the service is non-existant, but who cares or really needs much the way it is set up? You order at the counter, and pay with cash, and then it will be a bit of a wait until it comes out, but it will be delivered...

Great place for breakfast on Cannery Row. Wide options including my vegan scramble, but plenty of more conventional options too.
I love this place! Great breakfast, friendly service. Will definitely go back there next time in Monterey. Cute decor, clean.
We ate here every morning during our stay in Monterey. Excellent breakfasts! The staff is very friendly. Service was excellent. I had a different breakfast each day and all were equally as good,from eggs to pancakes. It's nice to have real food when you are away from home.
We found this place by chance and were glad we did. Overlooks the bay and the food is fresh and delicious. The huevos rancheros were very filling and the best I've had in a Long time. Nice for a relaxing breakfast.
