Village Inn Café

"When I arrived I was in a surly mood due to my girlfriend ushering me out of the house in my dirty work clothes, telling me I had a long day ahead of me. Suddenly we detoured to get some breakfast. I was a little unprepared. No shower, work clothes, etc…well I decided to forget my embarrassment, and I asked for a coffee milk shake. They knew what I was craving. It was the best shake I’ve had in my life and I kept thinking about it all day. I live in Pescadero, a good hour and a half away maybe two, but….I can’t forget how perfectly creamy, ice cold, and served with all of it there, not skipping….the long spoon,..you know what I mean. The rest of my breakfast was excellent except they don’t serve the bacon crispy so be sure to ask for it if that’s how to take it. Service was spot on. Thank you to the staff they made my day a lot better."

"Unfortunately, I asked about mushrooms and was told they are fresh - they are not. They did refund the mushrooms from omelet. Waffle was fantastic! Food a little pricey for what you get."

"6/19/22 The Super Scramble with the Belgian Waffle hit the spot this morning. 3/26/22 I tried the Eggs Benedict again, why don't they use Canadian Bacon? Instead , it still comes with Black Forest Ham deli meat. Oh well... 2/20/22 I had the Huevos Con Chorizo this morning. Is it me or is the portion getting smaller or, the plates getting bigger? The taste is okay but, it doesn't come close Kurt and Kathy's! 8/1/21 The Super Scramble with chorizo, onions, mushrooms, spinach and cheese was great! The pancakes were pretty good too! They were following the health dept. recommendations for distancing indoors and masks which made us feel a little more comfortable eating indoors since the increased outdoor seating was full! 6/11/21 Nice to see them busy again with a wait list out the door on Sunday morning! I tried the Corned Beef Hash again today after 3 years. It came with 2 eggs and a short stack of pancakes. I was expecting a traditional style corned beef hash with diced potatoes, onions and bell peppers and evenly cooked, instead I was disappointed by the soggy center, over cooked on the outside hash brown shingle with varying sized bits of corned beef locked inside. Changing a time tested breakfast classic works if it is better, this was not! 5/13/18 Again, no waiting to be seated. I had the Corned Beef Hash, (about like the former half order) and it's not as moist and tasty as the previous owner's Corned Beef... 4/15/18 New owners, similar menu, similar open and close times. Some new items on the menu; Eggs Benedict-Ham really (Black Forest sandwich meat) or Bacon (should be called Canadian Bacon on the menu). Does not include fruit so, if you don't want the potatoes, kind of skimpy portion... Huevos Rancheros with chorizo; different than before, no tortillas with cheese! Instead, scrambled eggs with chorizo, 3 wimpy tortillas, cold and runny black beans. Food seems to sit on the pick up counter awhile and aren't always delivered at the same time to the table as before... Growing pains? No waiting Saturday morning at 10, good for us but, not a good sign for the restaurant?"

"Really love their Spicy Tofu Scramble. It's only mildly spicy and completely vegan. I requested no potatoes and no toast and added avocado and spinach which made it even healthier! If you're extra hungry, add a veggie burger patty on the side."

"Super nice people, not so nice food. I got super scrambled egg with hash browns. I could only eat the hash browns. Scrambled eggs were kind of dry and tasteless."
