I ordered a custom omelet that was served cold with dried up chicken cubes and missing my sauted onions. They did take it back and made a scramble, but it was a far cry from meeting the standards of an acceptable omelet for which I complained about being charged the full amount as such, to the "acting manager on duty." We paid for it anyway, but the 42 year good reputation is undeserved considering my meal and my husband's. I would have to rather gone to Woody's diner a mile away. read more

Came here Sunday morning around 9:30 and got seated right away in the back where the parking lot has become the patio. Their large tent and well spaced seating made for a great, safe space. Being in the parking lot off pch however did make it extremely loud, and as cars were parking right next to us. The service was phenomenal, they were extremely attentive, refilling beverages, checking in and quick service. Even pay as soon as you get the bill if you're ready. I ordered the eggs Florentine with hike fries with Parmesan and it was relatively good. The Hollandaise, muffin, bacon and eggs were all perfect. The spinach didn't seemed cooked the way I would have thought, was very spinach forward.. the fries were good but preferred the waffle fries my bf got with his hangover burger. Definitely isn't a burger restaurant and wouldn't get one there again, the beef was smoky flavored tho, which was good. Lastly. We split a chocolate chip pancake and it was so so good. It surprisingly had a little bit crispy outside to it but was extremely soft and fluffy inside and served with whipped butter that made it easy to spread. Overall great diner and wouldn't mind going back maybe once or twice a year. Excited to see the indoors experience in the future. read more

Cappys Cafe - Great COFFEE. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Breakfast was exceptional. For being a simple guy, I really enjoyed the environment, food and staff. Even the coffee was great as it was a medium roast, as I enjoy it. They also have more of an IHOP option, but overall had a great experience. Thank you read more

This place should be called crappies! I had the veggie skillet they had old broccoli in my skillet and the potatoes were so soft like stew potatoes I think they bake them first they were mushy I don't know how this place got a four plus star read more

Lots of choices in Newport and Huntington Beach. Cappys is way over priced for food. Service was OK . Bloody Mary's probably the worst. I've had no alcohol at all for $15. would never recommend this restaurant six people $200.00 for 3 cocktails and breakfast is outrageous stay away. Spending $20 for a cheese omelette not good . read more

We went to Cappys Café to try the breakfast as we heard. It was really good. We went in and we sat right away.

Great place for breakfast and the food was so delicious. Have to return when in the area.

This will be my new brunch spot! The food is absolutely tasty and their portions are very reasonable, delicious and filling. I had the vegetarian omelet skillet and shared a waffle with strawberry topping and it was good. The cinnamon toast wasn't a favorite it was bland. The service was great - all staff were friendly and willing to help answer questions we had about the menu/drinks. There is plenty of seating but recommend you make a reservations. read more

Cappys has the best Bloody Mary mix I've ever had. The country fried steak is on point and the cinnamon swirl French toast was really good too. I plan to go back a few more times they had a lot of things that I wanted to try that are some of their customers favorites. The service was great and the setting is nice and there's a patio if you'd like to sit outside. They get really busy but I don't mind waiting read more

The service, food and atmosphere was good but our order took a little bit too long. Friendly staff

Made a reservation on Yelp prior to arriving, as I know this place cranks. I've never been here before, but driven by with loads of people waiting. Seated right away, sorry non Yelpers... Sat on the side of the place looking at PCH and the Balboa Island Mural. Aka.. the Dog Wall seating is awesome. Pros $30 bottomless mimosas Fresh Squeezed OJ PCH views Great food Great atmosphere Friendly service Reserve your spot here Order from your phone at the table Cons Parking can get tricky Forgetting to reserve a table I had a blueberry pancakes (1), I'm always disappointed so I ordered 1 vs a stack. Glad I did, as this loaded blueberry pancake was HUGE and fluffy. 3 of them would have put me in a food coma. Maple syrup only, wish they had compote. Also got the eggs Benedict traditional style, wife got the Florentine style. Fantastic poached egg, plenty of Hollandaise sauce.... but I'm not a fan of mayo/ creamy Hollandaise sauce.. so I was disappointed again. But still ate it. I've yet to find Hollandaise made the correct way, other than expensive restaurants and vegas buffets.(Hollandaise sauce is 3 things, super simple.. egg yolks, butter and lemon juice) can't figure out why it's not served that way, other than this style is more found on vegetables and eggs Benedict. Maybe it can be an option here.. Creamy or Lemon-y (traditional) Hollandaise Sauce. Over all- I'll totally one back to try other dishes and support small businesses. Then grab a balboa bar after read more

They managed to burn the hash browns and keep them somewhat raw on the inside. Bacon was limp and hollandaise sauce was chunky and sour. ‍ Almost all the food we had had no flavoring. We are truly baffled how this place had such good reviews . It must be their friends giving the reviews. Only good part was the pancakes if you're going to come here. Photo is the burnt hash browns. We did tell the waitress about the hash browns. She seemed uncertain what to do and said she would let the kitchen know. There was no follow up from our waitress read more

Cappys Cafe - Burnt hash browns - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Newport Beach, California

I absolutely love the family diner feel to this spot and how extensive their menu is! The food overall was pretty standard in terms of what they had to offer and was fairly priced. I can definitely see why this establishment has been around for nearly 40 years! F O O D Strawberry Banana Crepes ($14) // At $14, I feel that this is a fairly priced dish because it comes with fresh bananas and strawberries. The only gripe I really had was that the thickness of the crepe more closely resembled a pancake. Otherwise, I love the option to have two eggs and two strips of bacon added for just $3 more. Since I don't eat pork, I was given the option to have hash browns instead, which I appreciated. Vegetarian Skillet ($14) // This skillet was huge and packed with plenty of veggies! I would've enjoyed just a bit more flavor to it. Otherwise, I also really appreciated the large amount of avocado that was served with it. The skillet is also served with a side of breakfast potatoes and a toast of your choice making for a very filling meal. S E R V I C E The owner himself introduced himself to us and told us all about the restaurant, and I absolutely loved that personal touch! The food came out fairly quickly, and they were very attentive and quick to bring us any additional things we asked for (hot sauce, ketchup, etc.). P A R K I N G The cafe has its own parking lot, but it's not particularly big, so I would be sure to keep that in mind during busier brunch hours. Otherwise, on a weekday, you should have no issue with finding parking. read more

Landmark have seen it for years. The food was overpriced for what you get. I would try again with a different dishes to see if it was just an off day Our server was was nice. The young blonde girl that we paid our bill with was super nice. Like I stated we will for sure vine back and try different dishes. Maybe the eggs Benedict read more

They don't lie, says 'best breakfast in town' on the outside wall and they back it up. Parking complicated ....

Wonderful service! I loved that I got to be put on the wait list through Yelp. That was extremely helpful given the fact that I've driven to 4 restaurants with over an hour wait time. The food was delicious! I ordered the restaurant week prime French dip and although I had to attend to my kids and my didn't get to my food until 30 minutes later, the sandwich was delicious! I ordered cole slaw on the side and that was on point. My kids got the kid's french toast and pancakes and they loved it. They gave it a thumbs up. My older son ordered a bowl of clam chowder. I didn't realize a bowl was that big of a bowl. I told him that I'm going to have to help him out. The clam chowder was amazing! There were a ton of clams and probably no potatoes, at least I didn't see them, but that was the way I liked it anyways. Maybe it was pureed? Idk. read more

I would say this place is "fine." Good service, food was out fast and a plethora of options. I personally am not a huge breakfast person (came here for brunch) and I was very happy at how many lunch options they had. We were in and out within 90 minutes! Lots of vegetarian options. read more

Best beach diner in OC. I definitely recommend putting your name in since the parking can be rough. Highly recommend any dish with the seasoned potatoes Country fried steak is excellent and their coffee service is kind of ridiculous. Like 3 sip refills all morning ! Keep 'em coming !! read more

Delicious from start to finish! Eggs Benedict was perfect. Potatoes were delicious, kids meals were generous!

REALLY good BLT. I know that sounds funny, because how can you mess up a BLT? Well, it's hard. The better question is, how can you make one so good that I'm still thinking about it weeks later? I added cheddar cheese and avocado, and man, good stuff. My entire party loved their food! Service was spot on, location can't be beat, and parking was relatively painless, even this close to the beach. Bottom line: give it a try! I will certainly come back the next time I'm in the area. read more

Haven't been to Cappy's for a while. Was disappointed that they didn't offer the bottomless mimosas anymore. Was still on the menu, but the server said they didn't have them. Didn't offer a substitute. Saw another customer with mimosas and asked another waitress and she said we could have order a bottle and a carafe of juice for $24.00. Anyway the good was good and we got seated quickly. read more

I absolutely LOVED my experience getting breakfast here on Fourth of July. This place is so so cute!!! I love the decoration, style, and overall vibe of this cafe. I also love their cute bar. Luckily we found parking pretty easily in their lot upon arrival. We were seated in just a few minutes wait time. Our server was friendly and happy to serve us. Their mimosas and bloody marys are both great choices, although I am more of a mimosa girl. I ordered the Monte Cristo (nowhere I go ever has this so I just had to.) It was so so delicious and filling! It is totally fried so be ready to be extremely stuffed if you pick it. Also, we shared a meat lover's omelette which was tasty as well. It seems like everything you order here comes out good. I will definitely be returning. I love the food, environment, and friendly staff. Everyone from hosts to manager to servers were all happy and delightful. Great cafe, go check it out. read more

Brunch was great. Good portions, sat quickly when it was busy. Just don't like the machines that you pay on, let me sign a receipt!

Overall pretty dank. The stuffed French toast was insanely good. I definitely would recommend the seafood Benny with an everything bagel instead of the English muffin and add avo.

Wow! Fresh, Local Friendly AND Expensive! $22 for a breakfast sandwich? I ordered the Country Benny. It was cold and the gravy was tasteless. Haven't been here in 15 years. Won't be back. Breakfast for 2 with tax and tip was over $65! And we ordered the cheaper entrées. read more
