We chose to eat at this cute little spot after looking at Yelp reviews and spotting that yummy cinnamon roll. We stopped on our way back home to SoCal. The cafe has both indoor and outdoor seating. The bathrooms are clean! The inside has cute little decor to make it seem like the inside of a house. Upon arrival, we were told we could sit wherever we'd like. Once we sat down, we were brought our menus and were asked for our drinks. We ordered a sandwich, an omelette, and a cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll was our favorite and we'd definitely be back just to eat this again. The avocado cheese sandwich was yummy, but the cheese was cold and because it was shredded cheese, it fell every time I took a bite. The omelette my husband had was okay. I can't see us coming here again if we're ever back in the area. We'd probably just try another small business. Also, beware of possible spiders. There were several webs up on the beam. I'm sure they've only just missed these as the rest of the restaurant is clean! read more

Such a cute little cafe! It's located in Cambria and this town much like this cafe is a MUST to stop by. They have a good variety of breakfast and lunch items, even mimosas! Typical breakfast fare items and nice sized portions. Super friendly service and just such a cute, quaint spot. We definitely want to come back the next time we drive through here! read more

Perhaps it was just an off day for the cook. Food was mediocre. I had the bacon and eggs with potatoes and toast. The Mrs had the veggie omelette. Bacon and eggs and toast were made to order, don't get the potatoes. The omelette was sitting in oil, but did have fresh ingredients. It was okay. Service was good. Prices are decent. Parking is shared with other businesses. Looks popular with locals. read more

Linn's has the cuter location and a gift shop, but Redwood is an old fashioned breakfast joint. We had an omelette and pancakes and sat outside; it was very pleasant. If you rise early, Redwood opens at 7 (Linn's opens at 8). Linn's coffee is a lot better. Try both places! read more

I can't remember how we found out about Redwood Cafe. Possibly from a list of restaurants from the motel we stayed at. We pulled up and my first thought was "goodness". It definitely isn't swanky or filled with Cafe society, but it (is) like a big hug from grandma's kitchen to her family. It's clean and decorated like your grandma's kitchen. If your grandma lives in Oklahoma, Kansas or Ohio. Especially in the 80s. The menu had lots of good choices and the food was tasty. I had eggs Benedict with hash browns. Their drip coffee had a nice taste. Service was friendly and attentive. The owner (or as he joked when asked if he was the owner, "They let me write the checks.") was quick witted and attentive to his investment. He was walking around tidying up and tending to the details. We left full and happy, just like you do when you leave grandma's house. read more

This cozy place has left the best impressions! Good service, delicious dishes, clean presentation, wide breakfast list and wonderful product quality. Location is good, there is also a parking spot on a parking lot or you can park your car in front of the parking lot, along a road. Especially perfect for breakfast and brunch. I would also add simple fries as a side dish. I recommend this place. read more

The food is worthy of 5 stars. Service is too. I took back a star because the bathrooms were not ADA friendly. It's kind of a hole in the wall, but the onion rings are awesome, sandwiches perfect, and havarti chorizo omelette is legendary. read more

Came from out of town for my birthday and found this place on Yelp. My husband and I love to try new places and this one was perfect for breakfast.

I would definitely come back! read more

Great food and service!! Such a delightful spot for breakfast! I will definitely be going back!

Service and food was great! If you want a good quality and quick breakfast this is the place. Old school country restaurant.

Our waitress at dinner last night suggested that we go here for breakfast in the morning and it was every bit as good as she said it would be! We chose a table outside in the sun and we had mimosas first which were delicious. The boy was so sweet and kind, and our waitress was excellent. The food was delicious and just enough. Not too big not too small, but just right! Many many good things to choose from on the menu, it was hard to decide what to get! I chose the California scramble and it was delicious. This will be our new go to place when we come to Cambria. read more

Service was excellent. Food was average. Good but nothing special. Definitely decent food that taste like it was made at home for those with average cooking skills. We did go back twice because their French toast is actually pretty good. read more

(12/17/19) Dear friends, have you ever been to Cambria? If you're traveling up or down the Pacific Coast Highway, I would urge you to stop in for a visit. I love this place; I first visited over ten years ago with my family when we were making a trip to see Hearst Castle. I remember it being a quaint village made of "ma and pop" shops, unassuming eateries, plenty of antique stores, and - about the only brand name I recognized - a Chevron. It warms my heart to see that nothing has changed in the past decade, and whenever the opportunity presents itself, I'm always glad to stop by. As I had started my journey over five hours earlier in Orange County, I had developed a mighty appetite for breakfast and coffee. There was a restaurant in town that caught my eye, but they stopped serving breakfast at noon, so they shall not be reviewed today. A quick phone call later, and I confirmed that Redwood Café on Main Street would continue their breakfast service until closing, so there I went. I must admit that I did not come in with the fairest expectations. In my experience with breakfast (which is, as we all know, the most important meal of the day), restaurants will serve gold in the early morning, but iron sulfide in the afternoon. That is to say, the quality goes down. This has been true of even my favorite breakfast places, so without ever having visited Redwood, I partially expected an underwhelming breakfast. Well, I cannot in fairness say that I was right, and thank goodness for that! | A fresh cup of coffee | Just what the doctor ordered. Redwood's coffee is brewed from the Curtis machine (Curtis be praised), which as you may recall is the same machine used at Fifth Wheel Food, and many other diners I should imagine. Therefore, perish the expectations of gourmet brews - here you'll get a hot cup of black coffee, the same our ancestors drank (citation needed here)! Luckily for me, this is precisely what I enjoy. Coffee with breakfast doesn't have to be an extravagant performance all the time. | Bacon / Onion / Mushroom Omelet | From the three-egg omelet menu, this breakfast item is loaded as advertised, both hearty and filling; the absence of cheese will probably spare you an extra hundred calories that you'd get from the other omelets on the menu. My compliments to the chef - the omelet was neither dry nor soggy. Just right, and with the right stuff. | Home fries and wheat toast | I did order the home fries on the suggestion of my server, and they were okay. Expect some sparsely seasoned, large chunks of potato. I'd recommend engaging them with a pool of ketchup nearby. For me, despite my trying to "roll" some ketchup out of the glass bottle like Robert De Niro in "Goodfellas", I failed miserably, and in penance ate my potatoes plain. The wheat toast was definitely not 100% whole wheat, but never mind that. It was cut into fourths, which I thought was cute - I appreciate the impression of being given more food. I enjoyed this side with a little strawberry jam. Victory! My sincere thanks to Redwood Café for the hospitality, and to the picturesque village of Cambria for a nostalgic stop before my drive up to Big Sur. I never get to stay here as long as I'd like to, and that ought to change in the future. Perhaps the girlfriend and I have a road trip in the works. Until next time. read more

Hearty and delicious is a rare combination - served up with a smile makes it all the more special. Ordered a guava mimosa (thank you for the tasty options) and an omelette ordered "easy" hoping for the best. The kitchen delivered the best example of an omelette outside our favorite at Petit Trois - yeah. THAT good. A special shout-out to Edwin who delivered everything with the sunniest disposition and made the meal even more memorable. Cannot wait to go back for more! read more

This was a cute cafe for breakfast! The service was friendly and attentive and the food was great! I got the Denver omelette and it was as quite yummy. Very cheesy with large chunky onions and peppers. My wife got the "kids" breakfast with a pancake and egg with bacon, and it was more than enough for her. We will happily visit again! read more

Everything was very average at this place. I rounded up from two and a half stars on this review. The potatoes were bland and boring and the omelets were simple. I had the chorizo and Havarti omelette and my wife had the spinach and mushroom omelette, which had two small pieces of spinach The service was good though, and the portions were pretty big. Didn't like the fact that all they had on the table were individual packets of ketchup and Tabasco too. Not too impressive overall. I'll keep searching for something better the next time I come for a visit. read more

Food was way over cooked. Ordered a cinnamon roll and it came with a steak knife. Should of been a clue. Roll was very tough and over heated. Omelet was served with extra ingredients and over cooked. Home fried potatoes were bland & flavorless. The best thing about this place was our waitress. She was the only one here abs worked her butt off! read more

Service dog friendly!!! I went here two days in a row with my friends because the staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was great and arrived really fast as well. Both times I went, the waitress asked if I needed a bowl of water for my service dog, which was super sweet. This morning I did say yes & they brought me out a bowl along with a biscuit for her as well. So awesome! The chips seem to be homemade here, I definitely recommend them! Anything on the menu seems to be a good choice honestly. Staple diner food, really can't go wrong. read more

Went here for breakfast around 9:30. The food was decent but nothing special. The elderly man who served our drinks was peeved when he brought regular creamer when I asked for flavored creamer. He became even more irritated when I asked for a spoon to stir the creamer in the coffee. read more
