Nice coffeeshop/cafe offering to go or dine in with table service. The special when we came in for lunch was the love toast, which is avocado toast topped with two fried eggs shaped like hearts. I shared it with my love, so I believe we will now have one year of good luck in love. read more

California Bean - Best pancake in Munich, very nice tast, quiet clean place, the owner and worker very nice and welcoming people. - Cafes Near Me - Munich, BY

Wonderful food and THE NICEST SERVICE. We will be here every day of our time here in Munich.

Very nice coffee shop with good coffee and service but quite high prices. I had a very good Cappuccino which in its medium size was already quite big but €4.20 is rather on the expensive end. read more

Loved it! We arrived around noon on a Saturday and it was fairly packed but we managed to get seated quickly at a table outside. They provided English drink and food menus so that was nice. Our meal and coffee didn't take too long and was so delicious. We had iced chai lattes, one vanilla marshmallow & the other is matcha. The marshmallows were the best marshmallows I've ever had. My husband got the savory pancake special and didn't want to share. I really enjoyed the Hermosa beach. (The eggs didn't run and were a little crispy but nothing to ruin the meal) I felt like I've finally found an actual breakfast that satisfied me, rather than a typical fruit & cold cut platter. It could have used hot sauce but I didn't bother to ask. Service was very friendly but we didn't bother waiting for the check and just found the waitress inside when we were ready to pay. read more

California Bean - Very teasty lunch from Pasta menu called : Hot Spring (Penne Arrabiata ( scharfe Tomatensauce). - Cafes Near Me - Munich, BY

This place is super badly managed. It's obvious the owner doesn't know what they are doing. They cram people into the restaurant without having the proper staff to deal with that many people. The owner/manager is running around yelling at the staff to move faster, faster, faster. She also talks down to every one of them. On entry, in order to seat me, with me in tow, she quickly bused a guys table, had him pay so I could sit where he was sitting. So unprofessional! I could describe the environment as loud, chaotic, and I'm disarray. The food was fine, but not great. The only reason this place is in business is because they've made cute heart shaped eggs, so that you can take that insta shot. Otherwise, I would not recommend. read more

Wonderful breakfast (and lunch) place. Right up above the Hauptbanhof. Highly recommend! We'll be back to try some more tasty options. Service and atmosphere great, prices very reasonable. read more

I don't know if I can even give 1 star considering we had a horrible experience just to be seated. Would give it a '0' rating if I could! We were three in a group when we arrived and requested to be seated if any tables were available. They asked us if we want to wait longer or share a table with 2 other people in a table which had 5 chairs. We told them we preferred to wait until a table is available. The waiter on service asked us to take a seat at a table with 2 chairs. We asked if we can add another chair or be seated at another table with 4 or 5 seats available. The person straight out rejected and asked three people to sit in a 2 chair table. Clearly there were other customers seated in a table with chairs that were unused! How does it make sense for 3 people to sit in a 2 seater table! Puzzled how a 4 and 5 table chair which was available was suddenly unavailable that right moment. Couldn't help but notice the racial discrimination. Disheartened and frustrated to be treated this way. read more

I've visited California Bean for two consecutive years while visiting Munich. I must say California Bean has the best Hot White Chocolate- amazing.

I'm making sure to plan my next stay near California bean to enjoy breakfast and my hot white chocolate. read more

Had breakfast with my wife and daughter. The service and food were excellent. It was a very nice way to start the day.

Californian's beware!! I must pre-qualify my review. I am a born and raised in California tourist, my first trip to Europe with my family ( wife and two adult kids). I am new to how food is prepared here, so please understand my point of view is as such. Nice place close to the Munich train station. Advisement to American travelers... cash only establishment and water options are bottle only and a bit pricey. Big tip for traveling in Europe, bring a H2O bottle and make your own ice water overnight. There were four of us in the party, we ordered an Omelette, pancakes, Ceaser salad and something called the 'Hermosa' I think which was advertised as "hash browns with mushrooms, grilled onions covered in cheese and two eggs in top. Eggs come fried typically in a heart shape, I asked for mine to be scrambled. The first challenge was the water. As tap was not an option, I paid €5 for HALF A LITER of water. So, everyone got a couple of sips. The food, not what I would call 'Californian' style. My 'scrambled' eggs were simply beaten, poured into a very greasy flat top and left there until they had the consistency of an overdone tortilla. The 'hash browns' were actually mashed potatoes that were in a patty form and cooked like a burger patty. The bacon was at an interesting point, warm but not really cooked well and basically just thin, chewy fat. The mushrooms and onions were obviously pre-cooked, and everything was overpowered by the local cheese. No, this was not a good meal for me. The entire dish was laden with some fat, probably cooking oil, A left everything flavorless and greasy Around the table... pancakes were fine, sauce was very sweet and the fruit was very tart. The Salad was very oily, the chicken an over cooked breast prepared on the flatop and the dressing was more italian style. Wife like the omelette. If your looking for something light, fresh and made well... this is probably not the place. The service was ok at first, we are finding throughout Germany that asking for the check is being met with a look of 'why are you bothering me'. At one point I had asked 3 people for our check. Wanting to get out and explore mlv my family had been done eating for close to 15min and they got up and waited outside. Only then did the owner/manager finally get me the check. My suggestion... find an Italian place, everyone we have tried while in Europe has been very good. read more

Oh my...California Bean is the best!! I came here on a Sunday around 11am with two of my friends while we were in Munich for Springfest!! We had read past views and we were super excited to come here. When my friends and I got to California Bean, we thought we would not get a table because the restaurant was super crowded. However, we were seated right away, and so was everyone else who I saw walked into the restaurant, which was amazing. Since the restaurant was so crowded, which I assume it is on every Sunday, the service was not amazing. California Bean was under staffed, ensuring that the service would not be great. However, the waitress was so nice and the food was so good, the service did not affect my experience here at all. The menu is amazing here. They have tons of egg options, specials, salads, sandwiches, and pasta dishes. I got an egg special that came with sausage, bacon, sunny side up eggs, and potatoes. I am not sure what the dish was called though. I LOVED my meal!! My friends got the eggs that are shaped as hearts and they loved their meals too!! The vibe is super nice in California Bean. It is super chill, laid backed, and relaxed! California Bean is great and you need to come here! read more

well if you want LA breakfast food this is your spot. Super small food menu though and it's a CASH ONLY spot. Food was very good, Fairly priced. They have WIFI as well . read more

I'm having my first breakfast in Munich at California Dream, at 10:00 am on a Monday, a short walk from the Rilano 24/7 München Hotel. It's going to be a Venice Beach omelet with vegetables, ham and cheese, with a side order of potatoes. My decaf cappuccino is excellent! My server speaks English and is very friendly. Her name is Evelyn. Breakfast was excellent! And so large, I almost couldn't finish it! There are at least two other breakfast dishes I would like to try here. One is the eggs over avocado toast. The other is bread with a platter of cheese, fruit, salmon, ham, spreads, etc. with beverages for two. A third dish I would like to try is the white sausages with sweet mustard and pretzel. I'd bet their croissants are good, too! It's also a nice place to sit, relax, read, and watch the passersby. No rush. Trip Advisor says the tip is included along with VAT, and to add 5 to 10% and round up to the nearest full euro. But, another source advises that the tip is not included, and to add at least 15%, not to be left on the table, but to be given directly to the server. I highly recommend this source: https://www.german-way.com/travel-and-tourism/germany-for-tourists/dining-out-in-germany/ read more

Visited here for breakfast 11am as a family of 4. We all had freshly squeezed orange juice, was very refreshing and nice. We also ordered a cup of tea, one thing I've found that Europe dies do well but at California Bean it was good. There are three sizes for coffee, we ordered large and it was just that, huge. All the food looked amazing and we all ordered the special, 'Love Avocado' the eggs were in a heart shape. Was one of the best breakfast we've all had. They don't accept card so ensure you bring cash. read more

Great food and great service. After being in Germany 6 days, we feel like trying something different. Found this place in Yelp and had breakfast for two. During our stay in Germany, the food at most of the restaurant we tried was very very salty. This one is not too salty at all. It was healthy and yummy. We have the " lover's something park" for breakfast and it came with so many items. Each one is delicious. We will come back if in the area again. read more

Having missed dinner in Munich due to early sleep and time zone difference I woke up hungry and looking for more than the typical European hotel breakfast. Thanks to yelp reviews, I found the California Bean. (Which I would have never found otherwise, as it's a little out of the way and unassuming looking from the street, despite being within short walk from the HPF central train station) First, as others have noted, very welcoming staff speaking perfect English and offering an English menu option. I chose to sit outside in the small area provided and enjoyed the sunshine that filtered down on this area. I chose the 'Hermosa Beach' a homemade hash brown patty with mushrooms, cheese bacon and fried egg. Delightful and wonderful in every regard. The large coffee was very large and complimented the dish perfectly. I would recommend this to anyone, but especially Americans or other English speakers looking for a bit of comfortable atmosphere and wonderfully prepared hot breakfast. read more

Perfect breakfast spot! The server was truly welcoming, friendly and attentive. The menu features a nice selection of breakfast, brunch and lunch options, many with fruit and vegetables!! I started with a vanilla latte - delicious! Then, Fresh squeezed orange juice and one from their "early spring special" breakfast menu - avocado toast with egg, arugula and tomato. Also natural yogurt with fruit (lots of fruit and many different kinds - impressive!) Everything was perfectly prepared and exceptionally fresh. This is a great spot for satisfying, tasty and healthful eating. The decor and space is modern and comfortable. read more

California Bean - Beautiful and fresh breakfast from California Bean. - Cafes Near Me - Munich, BY

**cash only** I was staying at a hotel just next door to this cafe and ate here three consecutive days for breakfast. Every time, the service was friendly and attentive. On the third day, we were waited on by the owner. She was very passionate about her business and wanted to know how we liked her cafe. An involved and concerned owner is something I like to see. The cafe is "California-style." Being from LA myself, I found the feel authentic and bright, even on a dreary Munich morning. I had a different meal each morning, all of which were well-made and very satisfying. The coffee drinks were also good. Everything was also reasonably priced for a large city. read more

Very busy morning, but they were able to seat us quickly. The meals looked delicious, just lacked a little spicing, salt and other spices for the egg dishes. We both thought the meals were great proportions but lacked seasoning. Coffee was good!! I'd give this place an o stall 3.5 star due to noise level, lack luster seasonings...and the waitress got some plates confused, during service... more about order timing and playing, and serving. read more

Very friendly to all, tasty breakfast and coffee. Welcoming relaxed atmosphere.

***Cash Only***This place is really good, we will definitely be back! Espcially recommend this place if you need a taste of home. My wife and I enjoyed the Hermoso Beach which is fried hash browns under grilled onions, mushrooms, cheese and topped off with 2 sunny side up eggs. It's also served with a few pieces of thinly sliced bacon which is not too crunchy but just the right texture to melt in your mouth. I also tried the smoked salmon which was really good as well. read more
