It’s been a few years since I’ve eaten here and the food was just so bland. The shrimp and avocado omelette was made with no avocado. The shrimp tasted like it was frozen, microwaved, and dumped in an egg blanket, with zero seasoning, sauce or flavor of any kind. The server was apologetic and brought avocado and salsa. The salsa was also pretty bland, with zero heat. The fruit was fresh and good. Arnold Palmer was good. The booths are cozy, with nice atmosphere and server was great, but food was overpriced and meh. Sorry, Del Monte, please add some flavor!

Every couple years I make the mistake of going here because it’s down the street. This review is primarily to remind myself of how bad it is.
The potatoes have not a lick of seasoning on them, and the veggies are essentially raw.
Then the eggs, again not even a dash of salt and pepper. I got the 2+2+2, which is served with the colossal pancakes directly on top of the eggs. If you care to eat your eggs in any typical manner, you constantly need to lift up the oversized pancakes to get to the unseasoned eggs below.
Do you like genuine maple syrup? Better bring your own, they don’t even bother stocking it for an up-charge.
Service is incredible, they are wonderful people. But whoever is forcing the kitchen to cook without seasonings is destroying what should be a wonderful dining experience.

I wish I could give this place 6 stars!
We were there on a Sunday and luckily got there before 9:30 AM. You are waiting in a line if you get there after that, and for good reason. The food and customer service are at the highest levels. My only very minor complaint would be the coffee – it could be a little better, but the delicious food and excellent service far outweigh this minor issue. We will definitely be back!

I decided to take my girlfriend First time at this place this morning (12/12/25) we sit and ordered two of the specials they had for breakfast, the food arrived and I ordered Eggnog toast wich was tasty after removing literally 7oz of jam that was poured on top of it, my girlfriend got a special blueberry pancakes and I noticed that the first bite she had she completely changed her face impression, I asked if her pancakes were OK and she asked me to try it, I work in the restaurant business and I know what’s meant good food , I tried and honesty were testing rubber, looking like plastic pancakes, I was very disappointed, my 13 years old boy makes way better pancakes than that.
Then I got to tell our sever and she responded (Strange) I keeped my mouth close and she went away after asking her for the bill. She showed up at the table and got me the bill with those HORRIBLE PANCAKES on it, I asked to removed because we barely eaten and she start to say that we had eat more than half witch is not true, she give me a very BAD attitude when she was swiping my card, she didn’t even say, Have a good day or anything, VERY BAD SERVICE!!
We will never go back to this place again.
I live in Slo for over 22 years, I been there so many times but I guess food or service quality are going down.
Have a nice day and thank you for got my day started BAD.

Our server, Sara was possibly having a bad day, but it was the worst service I’ve ever had. Very bad attitude didn’t bring the correct items did not offer selections and was very rude when we explained we had the wrong food and that food was missing. do not recommend the quiche because it is the consistency of a wet custard.

Went for a brunch with my SO. Had some charming conversation with our friendly waitress, and the atmosphere was charming and with lovely ambiant music.
The food was typical breakfast fare: Eggs in everything, pancakes, french toast, sausage, bacon, etc. But the sausage is hand crafted, the orange juice was delicious, and I liked my breakfast a lot. 5/5, would eat here again.

Called in for drinks, while waiting for train from the station across the road. Cute little cafe, really great service from lovely staff. Cool, shady, pretty garden patio area. A real gem of a place!

Nice restaurant in general. Great outdoor seating. Quite pricey compared to others that only cost me $3 less. The pancake was a bit rubbery but soft but I still like it. However, the bacon wasnt warm and crispy when served, and the over-medium eggs were too runny. I guess the cook has to pay attention to the egg and not cook bacon in advance. So, i was told by my parents to finish my food since I was little but not today. Although the waitresses were nice, a Karen can make a show with the quality . Sorry!

Little corner cafe, very good customer service. Food is all right for the price. However, O’Brien potatoes were either overcooked or they tasted like were reheated from the day before. The breakfast bagel was delicious.
