Old Monterey Cafe

Good vibe, nice staff, but hollandaise sauce is falling apart and crab is not the freshest the benedict.

We love this place and go here just about every time we go to Monterey. This is an update from my original post a couple years ago. This place really hasn't changed. The food is delicious. The service is great.

I’m from LA the food Mecca of the nation and I’ve tried almost every breakfast spot there… I gotta say, Old Monterey Café is quite possibly the best breakfast food I’ve had in my life. Words cant do it justice, just go and try it yourself. Anything you order will be top notch. Expect a line though, any place worth eating should always have a wait. 10/10 food quality and 10/10 fast, friendly service.

A must visit with old Town vibes and very classic breakfast. The locale feel is there and love the food. Must visit whenever in Monterey

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.
