The service was absolutely wonderful and they're very understanding if you have kids. Hubby had an omlette, my daughter the pancakes and I had the french toast. Very tasty! more

We were referred here by some locals. Our kids loved the chocolate chip pancakes! I had the huevos rancheros and it was quite good. Overall, great food for the money. good sized portions. The food came out of the kitchen very quickly. more

This small restaurant is a local favorite; portions are large and filling. Not a gourmet restaurant, rather a place to start the day with a full meal, drink their good coffee, read the paper.

Don't miss the Huevos Rancheros. They are spectacular! You can get them for breakfast or lunch. I don't consider a trip to Monterey complete until we eat at this lovely little hometown cafe. more
