This restaurant is amazing. I'm genuinely surprised more people don't rave about this place. After having a disappointing experience at Linn's, I was expecting more of the same from other restaurants in Cambria, but I couldn't have been more wrong. First, the value is excellent. My husband and I both ate for about $45 total, which is impressive considering Cambria is such a popular tourist destination. The service was fantastic. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. The restaurant itself has a fresh, inviting atmosphere, and the patio is beautiful. If the weather allows, I definitely recommend sitting outside. We ordered the Two Egg Breakfast and the Monterey Scramble. The Two Egg Breakfast was exactly what you'd want from a classic breakfast: simple, fresh, and well executed. The Monterey Scramble, however, completely stole the show. Let's start with the salsa. It was absolutely delicious. As someone who's Mexican, I tend to judge a breakfast place by its salsa because if the basics are done well, the rest of the meal usually follows. They nailed it. The pico de gallo was also fresh and flavorful and paired perfectly with the scramble. Overall, this is one of the most underrated restaurants in Cambria. I'm honestly surprised it doesn't get recommended more often, both by locals and online. If you're visiting the area, don't overlook this place. It's absolutely worth a stop. read more

Service is great, food is great, garden is beautiful if you get to sit outside. I have been here every time we pass through because my son loves it. He swears by their French toast. I have tried their garden scramble, hash and their breakfast sandwich. All of them are very good. The best part is sitting outside though. It is a very lively garden but you may have to wait. read more

My wife and I had a wonderful experience here -- two days in a row. The California Omelette and the Huevos Rancheros were fantastic. Creative menu, delicious food, and extremely friendly staff. Highly recommend. read more

We had a very tasty breakfast here at this cute restaurant in the heart of Cambria. It was a little cool so we sat inside but a lot of people were enjoying the lovely garden and patio. The French toast & pancakes were tasty & the bacon was delicious. Servers were friendly but super busy this morning, so it took quite a while to get served coffee and then for the food to come out. The waitress did thank us for our patience so they were aware. Ample parking in the lot out front. A favorite place with locals and a great place to stop for tasty food if you are passing through as long as you are not in a hurry. read more

We had breakfast here this morning and being Danish I was excited to see they had ebelskivers on the menu. They were nothing like ebelskivers. These were more like greasy old fashioned donuts with a very dense, doughy center that were fried in old oil. I could barely eat one. The sausage patties that came with it were dry, hard hockey pucks. I was sawing for days to cut it. The coffee was very weak. My husband's garden omelette with home fries were good though. And our server was very pleasant. The outdoor seating area was nice and the bathroom was clean. read more

The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. The outside has a nice garden. Our waiter and the staff was very nice and friendly. We received our food quick and hot. My wife enjoyed her egg sandwich. My Denver omelette was good. It just had too much tomato. Next time I'll ask for light tomato. Some of the country potatoes were overcooked and hard. I just moved those aside. Overall we were happy with our meals. Thank you for your friendliness and serving us! read more

As a local resident we used to eat at creekside often. My husband loves the applesauce pancakes. I ordered pancakes to go and when I got home I was surprised when I opened the box. The pancakes were so flimsy and burnt and tiny. These are not the applesauce pancakes we remember. The pancakes were also undercooked. I feel so bad recommending these to our air bnb guests the day prior to me getting these. Really disappointed! Quality has gone down. read more

Nice little place to enjoy a good breakfast or whatever you're feeling. The wait was a bit probably because I was in a corner spot and there was a a big party in front of me and most were standing up because they didn't have enough sitting for their party. But other than that the patio outside was nice with some cool air to beat the heat where you're from. read more

We stumbled across this little gem while shopping in downtown Cambria. It was a cold, foggy day. Walking in we were greeted with a warm restaurant, friendly staff, and fun holiday music playing. I had the French dip and fries. The sandwich was excellent. It was served HOT, with warm au jous and hot French fries. My honey had a 1/2 Mexican pizza. She said it was also excellent. She loved it. The food was so good we went back for breakfast the next day. Again, she ordered the 1/2 Mexican pizza with an egg on the side. I had the breakfast special, the chicken fried steak. Yep, again, incredible!! Another favorite of ours in Cambria. We'll be back!! read more

We have eaten breakfast here twice midweek. It's chilly outside but cute. SUPER corned beef hash !! Their home style potatoes are good. Second visit our food & coffee weren't real warm. Inside is cozy. Busier dining room that day. Biscuits were cool on a cool plate & hot gravy cooled off fast. We wanted to try the famous apricot French toast. Next time. Service is very friendly, maybe they have trouble keeping up when it's busy. read more

We sat on a corner table for a long time before being served. It was Mother's day for me. The waitress asked us if we wanted salsa and she brought us 2 bottles of hot chili sauce??? On the menu I had seen a picture of fresh salsa. Right after that we saw another table being served fresh salsa. So I have a question, why weren't we served fresh salsa after she asked us do you want salsa???? That was one thing I really wanted with my meal. I can think of many reasons why it took so long to be served, only the workers know. It was Mother's day and it wasn't that busy so that's not the reason. I don't know why she didn't bring us salsa but I can think of many reasons but only she knows why she just brought the bottled chili sauce. read more

Delicious breakfast food -- omelets, pancakes (wonderful!) with strawberries, breakfast potatoes, hot chocolate with whipping cream, fresh fruit and a biscuit. I ordered an omelet to go to eat the day we were leaving the area along with the leftovers we brought home. Service was pleasant, and the courtyard was attractive with greenery and a water fountain. I'm sorry we weren't able to go back, but were only in the area for the three day weekend. read more

Stopped in on Tuesday morning for breakfast. Wow we hadn't been here before, it's small but has a nice patio. We were greeted immediately and told we could sit where we wanted. They quickly brought us menus and took our drink order. We placed our food order. And it was out promptly and everything from the coffee to the food was wonderful. The place is clean staff friendly and the salso was super tasty. Definetly one of our favorite breakfast spots now. Until next time, looking to try some other things. read more

We always have great service. Love the outdoor patio. The food is always good and large portions. We always enjoy visiting when we visit.

This cafe yearns to be like the diners of the past but lacks the flavor. I rarely write reviews but wanted to warn other people passing through town. The bacon literally had no flavor and same with the gravy and biscuits. There is nothing worse than paying $16 for something you could have made yourself but yours would taste better. Sad side note, something was added to the bill as 2 sides when it shouldn't have been so please check your bill thoroughly. read more

This spot is a little difficult to find but recommended by a local. It wasn't busy when we arrived at 9am on a Sunday. When leaving it did pick up. They have a great variety of breakfast options. You can sit indoor or on their patio which is well heated with standing heaters or above head heaters. We had the Alaska Benedict and seafood omelet. Portions were large and the fruit was very fresh(huge). Mimosas were also very large. Definitely would come back. read more
