Reviews
I had the chicken fried steak w/ gravy, poached eggs, hash browns, and rye toast ($20).
All good, but must comment on the gravy. It was “ham forward”, sweet and smoky, not the greatest. Portions were good, rye toast was good quality and service was excellent.
Recommended, I’ll be back and try something different.
Only odd thing was how to cafe latte was served, which appeared to be in a soup bowl. Would’ve preferred a proper cup.
Other than that, all good!
Just spent the most perfect overcast morning at Antoine Café in San Clemente, and I’m already planning my return visit! This charming little spot has absolutely nailed the cozy café experience, especially on those moody coastal days when you want to escape the world for a bit.
The service here is nothing short of spectacular — attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely interested in making sure you have a great experience. It’s that rare kind of service that elevates your entire meal.
Let me tell you about their special crabcake Benedict — absolute game changer! The crabcakes were perfectly crisp on the outside while staying delicately tender inside, topped with poached eggs that burst with that gorgeous golden yolk when cut into. The hollandaise had just the right amount of richness and acidity to complement the crab without overwhelming it. If it’s on the specials menu when you visit, don’t even hesitate!
The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between lively and relaxed. There’s something about the soft lighting against the gray sky outside that creates this intimate bubble where you can really unwind and enjoy your meal. It’s the kind of place where you can lose track of time in the best possible way.
The only minor miss was the mocha, which fell a bit flat compared to everything else — a bit too sweet and not quite enough depth to the chocolate and espresso flavors. It’s the only thing I wouldn’t order again, but with so many other enticing options on the menu, that’s hardly a deal-breaker.
Antoine Café is definitely on my regular rotation now. That nearly perfect experience, especially with that incredible crabcake Benedict, has me already plotting my next visit!
