Old Monterey Café

"Not worth the wait or the hype. -This restaurant has about 15 tables inside available, and a few tables outside table that can hold a small party of 2 people. -However, they were able to accommodate our party today was of 7 people. - very small, servers and customers will bump into you. -five minutes after seating, they only asked if we wanted coffee, poured us coffee. -they have three servers for the whole restaurant. -took our order 15min after seating fairly quickly for a full house. -When the server took our order she didn't take my drink order and cut me off when substituting bacon for sausage to my food order, she started walking away when i said Scambled for my eggs. -She was patient with everyone else's order, and I was the last to order. -After they took our order others in my party were able to ask for creamer. -They will refill your coffee without asking , if they see your coffee half empty. --------- ( Up to you if you like that they are attentive, or i you prefer that they wait for you to ask so you have the option to add creamer and sugar to your preference) +++++++++ My order Belgian waffle combo -original- belgian waffles, two bacon, two sausages, and two eggs my order to -substitute sausage with bacon -scrambled eggs ++++++ Was able to order a coke a few minutes later -soft drinks machine -they do have straws available if you ask for some. +++ END OF MEAL For my order -She brought out the waffles with a side of bacon. -Someone else had to get her attention and order the eggs. Everyone elses order came as is and ordered. MEAL NOTES -Crispy belgian waffles were soggy and tasted more like pancakes, plain flavor. -Eggs were very wet -Blueberries served on top of the waffles were sour which understandable out of their control. - The bacon was good thick slices and not salty. +++ Random notes -Sugars are on the table along with tabasco, tapatio, ketchup, salt, and pepper. - different small jam packets -They have vegetarian options available. -They do have alcohol options for brunch time-mimosas with the option of orange juice, guava, or cranberry juice. -They have restrooms hidden but available. NOT wheelchair accessible."

"This breakfast spot is fantastic! The staff was incredibly friendly and efficient, and the food was delicious. I tried the avocado turkey eggs Benedict, while my wife enjoyed the banana pancakes, and our son loved the kids menu French toast. No complaints – everything was superb. The cozy atmosphere of the place just added to the overall experience. If you're ever in Monterey and craving a delightful breakfast, I highly recommend checking out this gem."

"I’ve been here 2/2 days for breakfast on my trip to Monterey and everything was phenomenal. Menu has something for everyone. Despite there being only 2 servers this morning and every single table in the house full, they both managed to quickly bring everyone their coffee/breakfast, and everything was wonderful in quality. Best service I’ve seen in a long time. Amazing quality breakfast food. Highly recommend."

"We went for breakfast and the place was nice and airy. The staff was very attentive and the food was good. I had been traveling for a bit and they had some of the best french toast I had in days. They were light and fresh, just the way I like them."
