We went to this restaurant with no expectations and lo and behold, it is a Guy Fieri DDD restaurant and what do you know, it was wonderful! We got the Triple D sampler and it was so good with some plain buttermilk pancakes. Waylon helped us and he was very kind and checked on us the perfect amount of times. I’d recommend sharing the Triple D sampler with one other person and getting a sweet option to share as well as both dishes were very rich and savory.

One of my favorite brunch places in Monterey (as a former local). Excellent food and a great outdoor seating area for an early lunch or late breakfast! Service is friendly and always a great experience. Great spot inside the Barnyard location for a nice walk to other shops right after or before being seated.
*Get the huevos rancheros! you will not be dissapointed

Came here early Saturday morning with a group of friends and was seated right away with no wait time. The restaurant provided indoor and outdoor seating. The food was delicious. My friends enjoyed their meals. I had ordered the cinnamon roll pancake and the carmel omelette. The pancake was crispy tasting the cinnamon per bite. Couldn’t finish the pancake and saved it for two days, pancake had its texture if you toast it for a few minutes. The omelette was really good paired with the fruit cup. Overall it was a good relaxing sit back vibe at this breakfast spot. Will be back when I’m in Carmel again.

We had an amazing Valentine’s Day breakfast at From Scratch! The food was incredible – we both ordered the special of the day, the Crab Cake Benedict, and it was 10/10.
They also had heart-shaped pancakes as a special, even though we chose a different flavor pancake from their regular menu, our server offered to have it made into a heart shape anyway. Our latte and Americano were also delicious. I can’t emphasize enough how great the service was and how kind everyone was. We’ve tried other breakfast spots in Carmel, but From Scratch blows them all out of the water. Thank you, John, for such a great experience!!

The brisket chilli is phenomenal. One of the best biscuits I have ever had also. Service was exceptional. We stumbled across in a random Google “restaurants near me” during a recent trip to the California central coast for my wife’s birthday.. Being that it was on Triple D, we figured it would be good. But, it was way better than good. Highly recommend.

Walked in on a Sunday at noon and they were pretty busy, but we only waited about 5 minutes for a table. They don’t take reservations. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, but I don’t think they have AC inside since it felt warm and stuffy. Menu is huge with lots to choose from. Very reasonable prices. Service was decent. Located on the lowest floor in a plaza with a huge parking lot
We ordered the triple D sampler plate $24 and sausage benedict $18. I liked how they don’t upcharge for customizing to egg whites. Huge portions and everything was delicious. My only complaint is that the chili was salty, was mostly meat, and didn’t have much beans.
Overall, great brunch food, big portions, reasonable prices. Highly recommend

My husband and I love this place! The food is very delicious. They serve the most amazing and savory banana walnut pancakes. I loved that we were able to order our personalized “from scratch skillet”. We had a skillet with three eggs, avocado, sour cream, ham, potatoes, cheese, and spinach with wheat toast. It was so filling and delicious! Personally, it was more than enough for two. But heck, we ate all of it! The employees are so friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place as their food is delicious and there is a variety of options!

Tucked away in a multi-level shop area that is part of a hill slope. Very nice restaurant with relaxed seating areas outside. We ordered eggs Benedict, a mushroom burger, and a tuna melt sandwich. Everything was tasty and the service was good. We very much enjoyed eating here.

We have been to From Scratch several times and whenever we have visitors it is one of our go-to places, especially for breakfast.
The staff are very friendly and the service is excellent.
We have tried almost all the vegetarian dishes and everything was very tasty, and the portions are more than adequate, even for good eaters. We can particularly recommend the vegetarian breakfast sausage, the breakfast roll and the huevos rancheros.

Do not waste your time or money on this overpriced, overrated place unless you enjoy a whole order of gnats & flies with your meal. It was the worse I have ever experienced anywhere. The flies are one thing but the gnats, which were everywhere is an indication of filthiness despite the image the dining area attempts to convey. I cannot believe I turned my nose up at Black Bear over this place. I am extremely disappointed over the experience. I only wish my only loss was the $100 spent but it wasn’t. What was suppose to be a nice enjoyable moment has left me completely dissatisfied. I wish you could see all the bugs in my photos but unfortunately they were moving faster than I could keep up with. I lost my appetite over the conditions and tried to cancel my order but unfortunately it had already been prepared so I asked for it to be packaged to go, even though I had No intention of eating it given my keen observation of things. I wanted to leave that package food on that table as a clear indication of my disgust, however, out of regard for those I was with who managed to fan off the bugs as they quickly woofed down their food, I didn’t.
