"Small, unassuming spot. The restaurant has some interesting decor, but is a bit cramped for seating. There's a line out the door constantly, which speaks to the quality of the food. I had the scramble with smoked salmon, which was really good. The hashbrowns were okay. A bit soggy in the middle, but otherwise fine. Coffee is good. My wife enjoyed her French toast. Everyone wasnice and we were seated quickly despite the long line. Good place to try if you're in the area."

Consistently good food! Love their calamari sandwich! Service is friendly and on point. Hadn't been there in quite sometime, as we moved to Chokeville (Castroville). Not that it is far, not at all, just don't get that way often anymore. Same folks there, 20+ years!! Going for breakfast next....

I planned a film day at Del Monte Cinema and found this place very recommended on Yelp. I tried the Portlander Omelet (Bacon, Tomato, Mushroom, Jack cheese) with Hasch-Brauen. Maybe that was the best Omelet I ever had. The spuds were great, like the waitress and service time. I will definitely be back!! View menu

I would highly recommend this breakfast restaurant to anybody! It is very packed and busy but the quality of food is completely worth it. I ate a French toast combo and my wife had a waffle combo. Very delicious we were overall satisfied with the wholemeal. The hot chocolate was amazing as well as the moccachino. Thank you Monterey Cafe for the excellent and fast service!????????

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.
