View to the island while you enjoy a great tasting breakfast. Enjoyed the pancakes with sausage. Coffee was good, my daughter enjoyed her muffin pancakes, my hubby had the steak and eggs and really enjoyed his breakfast.big space that can accommodate a large group. We were seated immediately?, no waiting. Great service. Would definitely come back. Walking distance from plaza. Would definitely come back.

Came for brunch and had a great experience. Greeted and served by amicable, quick staff. Waited less than 5 minutes on a very busy weekend. Price-to-portion size was very reasonable. French toast as on point and delicious. Eggs and sausage were great. Establishment was very clean and ambiance was friendly, family oriented.

Great place for brunch. Close to the ferry terminal. Usually they’ve long wait as they are super busy. But the service is pretty quick and everyone is so nice and helpful. Food is tasty. Pancakes are the softest!!!! If you’re visiting Avalon, must go to place!!!

The best tuna melt and turkey melt we have ever had. I have never had avocado on a tuna melt and now I HAVE to have it that way every time. Very affordable prices considering the area. $17 sandwiches and $2 bottle water. It wasn’t very busy even though the island was packed with people.

We had a tasty breakfast here during our recent overnight trip to Catalina. We went for breakfast around 8am on a Saturday, before the bulk of the ferry passengers come in, so it wasn’t crowded and we were seated right away. Service was prompt and friendly. We enjoyed our fit scramble and blueberry pancakes. Servings were large, and everything tasted yummy. The restaurant was clean, bright, and inviting. The atmosphere is basic–it’s a pancake/breakfast place, so no one should expect elegance or sophistication, but it’s nicer than a typical Denny’s or IHOP kind of place. We’d be happy to come again the next time we visit Santa Catalina.

Visiting Catalina for a long weekend and of the three breakfast places that we tried this was our favorite of the three. It has a beautiful location right across from Avalon Bay so you have a great view of the water while dining. It was quite busy when we arrived for our 9:30 Friday morning breakfast but we didn’t have to wait very long. They have a pretty large menu filled with a lot of great options and the other diners around us seemed like they were enjoying their meal as well. Pricing is fair and our server was very polite. The restaurant is actually larger on the inside than it looks on the outside so there are plenty of seating options.
The food was pretty good, not quite as good as the breakfast you will get over in the mainland, but for a little island breakfast spot it was really enjoyable. For my meal I ordered the Chorizo Sizzler and enjoyed it. I wish there would have been more chorizo and a little bit less onions but still overall it was a really nice meal. I also got a coffee and thought it was strong and tasty. I would recommend to anyone visiting the island and I would stop in again next time I visit Catalina.

Pancake Cottage is a VERY popular place for breakfast. If you get there early (before the ferry’s start coming in) you have a better chance of getting a table.
The line outside gets long.
Prices are ok.
Staff are nice and can be quick with service.
We split a pancake combo (2 pancakes, 3 slices of bacon and scrambled eggs. It was good.
They don’t serve booze

For fellow tourists: there is another breakfast place 3min away called Jacks or Jake’s. I think that place is better
Food was very mid to low quality, i got an omelette with only egg whites and maple syrup tasted so fake and the corned beef hash was not okay. This is so weird.

This place is cute. The wait wasn’t long considering we went on a nice August Saturday. Our waitress in the left side bar area of place was not very friendly. Had to hunt her down for refills and butter for pancake. Plus she said oh we only have 1 knife clean so you’ll have to share. It’s kinda pricey so I expected better quality and better service. The food was meh. I wouldn’t return again . The view is cute though.
