"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.

"This skateboarding themed eatery is legit, no cap just high-quality finger food. First the hot dogs are top shelf no matter how you dress them up. I tried pulled pork and grilled onions on my bacon wrapped dog. I was impressed by the pulled pork and believe that this one item could feed 2 people. Of course I had to try the corn dogs, crunchy sweet outer layer big juicy dog inside. Next I am not a big fan of tater tots however these were probably the best tots I have ever had. They are big crunchy outside soft inside basically perfect tots. Tots take the place of fries here, not my choice but definitely tasty and come in a variety of flavors. I got a blunt,that's code for coleslaw and it was delicious not to sweet, just simple delicious coleslaw, perfect to break up the calorie fest . I didn't try the Brussel sprouts but they are very popular here and the ice cream options are highly rated as well. Very clean establishment, nice outside tables wrapped around the building. They had very pleasant 80s and 90s music, my favorite playing over the speakers inside and out. Weekends they have live music outside on the patio. I'm a skatborder for life and seeing pictures of the ramp I helped build and skated with close friends up on the wall at Lucy's was a surprise and brought back memories. Watching so many locals coming in for grub was great, children seem to love this place. So if you are reading this stop wondering and just go. One last thing yes grom dogs are 3 dollars however most items are priced to match the quality they deliver."
