Cremé brūlée French toast, out of this world delicious, not overly sweet; so many berries. The fruit platter, steel oats and a basic ham, eggs and home potatoes. Side of bacon and a freshly made espresso, woohoo! Everything was freshly made to order. Never disappointed in anything we order here. Service is always accommodating. Small indoor seating, maybe 6 tables outdoors. Ambiance is comfortable, clean and inviting. Don't miss out on this gem if in town.

Great location!!! Just steps from the beach, great views. Greeted by our host/server. We were…read moreable to choose our table and I chose one with a view of the pier and ocean. The food was good. A few surprises My sister ordered the Cali eggs Benedict the potatoes wee supposed to be smashed, they were halved. The avocado slices looked old due to the dark tone on them, not the normal green. My chilaquiles had black beans, not mentioned in the menu description; great surprise. There was supposed to be sour cream on my chilaquiles and there wasn't any. It would have cut some of the sourness of the chile verde sauce. I chose poached eggs in stead of fried ones. My eggs were over cooked and cold. I am pretty sure they were precooked. I would give them another try, maybe for lunch.

Service: The service was excellent. The waitress was very…read moreattentive and energetic. Everyone there had a very positive attitude. Which is a big plus. Food: We started off with the coconut shrimp. The coconut shrimp was good. The coconut was crispy and the shrimp was well done for the main dish. I got the Cali Benedict. It was Soooo good. The hollandaise sauce was so tasty. The shrimp was fully seasoned and the potato's were well seasoned and huge. I recommend people getting this dish. Ambiance: The ambiance was great. There wasn't really a lot of people so that was nice. Just kids screaming and cry from time to time.

We stayed in a hotel and had coffee the next morning in the beautiful City of San Clemente. I enjoy going to the pier and grabbing a drink at Bear Coast Coffee Cafe. It's in a prime location and very popular. My friend, Te-see, treated me to a Vanilla Latte with Oat Milk. It was perfect with a nice mild flavor. The menu includes Americano, Espresso, Cappuccino, Chai Tea, Lemonade, Matcha drinks, and breakfast sandwiches & burritos. They also sell their own brand of roasted coffee beans. You may purchase in person or on their website. I've driven by this spot many times and was glad I finally got to try the Latte. Sincerely, Rosemary

I think I'm only going to go here when I'm up and eat my way through it! The staff is always friendly! I always have to have a plain croissant. But I pair it with a sweet pastry, and this time I chose the guava cruffin...OMG!!! Sooooooooo effing good! The best time to go, in my opinion, is right when they open. Parking is easy and there's plenty of tables available. Next time, maybe we'll sit outside and eat. Cako knew how happy this place makes me happy. I tied her up over on Min's patio told her to sit and wait. This is the first time I've done something like that. Cako Approves!

The spot is roughly a 15 minute walk from the beach (with some incline so beware!), making it a great treat before or after a beach day!

Something like that. It could've been an mis-plate and sitting there at the runner station, and she, the server just liked us. ??? Don't know. But maybe next time I will also order the 'chowda'. All items I tasted at our table were delicious. I had the daily special halibut and pasta. The pasta with white wine sauce was awesome but the halibut was overcooked to my desires. The bread bowl that arrived alongside the chowder worked well to soak up the pasta's sauce. They didn't offer a traditional calamari for appetizers but they offered a very tender steak of calamari into a sandwich that was great. The fish tacos were good, but just that. Service was good but, perhaps it's policy to not refill glasses of water, tea or soda. I was dry by the time we had finished. The deck outside was pleasant except I made a comment to our table that "this has to be the only patio that is louder than inside". The staff clanked and clunked every dish, table setting and chair. It was very loud and occasionally startling. The deck was made from wood planks and the sound of the chairs being adjusted brought back undesired military memories. And the birds (pigeons mostly) will take off and land without warning and scare just about everyone. Otherwise a great place to get your fish on. CritDicks

Today, we got the Lox Bagel and the Avocado bagel and they were both so good. The lox was very fresh and so was the avocado. Don't be fooled and think that you are getting something light and small because both of them are massive, I had to take half home. They both had amazing flavor, and the coffee is always good and strong. Our waitress was friendly, efficient, and made for a nice experience. We sat outside on the patio and whether you sit in or out you will be pleased. If you haven't checked this place out, you need to! Always a winner

Alrighty, it has finally the time for me to tried out this place and keep in mind ya'll, I've been…read morein San Clemente for a long time and I'm sorry that I haven't eaten here. I wish I did sooner! I past by this place on my way to work every day. Literally. Its on route for me and I never thought to myself to eat breakfast here nor check it out, I know on the days when I head back home it's always pack and people be waiting for a table. And that's on a sunny day. Well I was wrong for thinking oh it wouldn't be crowded on a rainy day. NOPE. I was sooooo wrong. It was PACKED and busy. Ain't even the rain gonna stop people to get some good food. What supposed to be a long day at work, tournament was cancelled last minutes and my staff was really bummed because we did travel to work. (I work two jobs and the other is a bit of commute to get to) so with that I was thinking, heck, it's still early in the morning (7am on sunday, a rainy sunday) and suggested breakfast. A bit of yelp search, i stumbled on Antoine's and saw a couple of Elites reviewed and ask my staff if they wanted to eat here. Took less than a couple of second but everyone agreed. By the time we got there (around 10am) it was packed and the rain was just picking up because before we got here, the car in front of us hydroplane and skid off the road and hit the curb. Yet, this place was still pack and parking was full. (We found street parking near Starbucks) I had my staff placed our name down since she lives closer, but they won't see you until all your party is here and that's fine. We ended up seating at the bar and left the booth for other parties. Love the teamwork, the staff were super stars doing a rush like that, let me tell you it PACKED HOUSE and we got our food and drinks on time, no one in my party had to wait to eat and I forgot to take pictures of my staff meals, only took mines and what I got for the table to share was a croissant french toast, which I believe was their special of the day. I got the chicken fried steak and the portion are MASSIVE!!! All of us took our food home because the portion size are insanely big and bang for the buck!! Great place to eat breakfast or brunch or even a 'Team Building Breakfast Time' LOL Just happy to treating out my amazing staff on their work. I will be coming back again to try out their lox bagels and chai tea. (It was in a massive cup that reminds me of the show FRIENDS.)

I had a wonderful experience at The Cellar and was honestly surprised to see a negative review…read moreabout a server's "attitude," because that was the complete opposite of what I witnessed. The owner has created an incredible space warm, intimate ambiance, an outstanding food menu, and one of the best wine selections I've seen in a long time. Everything felt thoughtful and elevated without being pretentious. Our server, Tatum was professional, attentive, and extremely patient. I happened to be seated nearby during an interaction with a group of women who were openly rude and condescending toward her from the start. Despite that, she remained calm, polite, and handled herself with grace. If anything, she showed remarkable composure under unnecessary pressure. Service jobs aren't easy, and it's disappointing when unfair situations get misrepresented online. Based on what I personally observed, Tatum did nothing but her job and did it well. Highly recommend The Cellar for the food, wine, atmosphere, and overall experience. We'll absolutely be back.

Everyone else had similarly great experiences with their food. Loved this and hope to be back someday.
