Hot tea selections
Alicia S.

Service was quite friendly. The server was accommodating to our special requests. The food was prepared as we liked it. Bacon was crispy and the omelette was a good size. The whole place was subtly decorated in 250 year patriotic theme from the carnations on the tables to the banners on the windows.

Stop by for breakfast on our way to Monterey. We decided to stop here instead of one in Morgan Hill as we wanted to be closer to our destination. We pick Breakfast club as we thought the omelet would be same as other location. Place was busy for a Wednesday. GF got the veggie omelet added ham and cheese and I got ribeye steak as I been craving steak and eggs. Omelet we like the stuff mix in with the egg then fried. Not just fold it all in. Might as well had the veggies on the side. It was ok but disappointed as we were expecting it to be like the other location. I got the steak as I asked server if it was good and she said super good and huge So was excited only to be very disappointed. I asked for medium and it was over cook probably because it was super thin. My pancake did make up for it. Went for pancake in stead of toast. Also first cup of coffee was not hot.

Tuna Melt and Chicken and Waffles
Andy V.

This place was busy busy. We waited not too long, but got sat in a corner so our service was real slow. Took forever to even ask for napkins and silverware. The Tuna Melt was basic and the fries tasted like they came straight out of a bag from Walmarts frozen section. My son got Chicken and Waffles which wasn't bad, but the hash he got was basic and the bacon was hard as a rock. I couldn't believe they even brought it out to us like that. The pricing seems standard like other breakfast places, but is definitely not worth it for the quality that we got.

Split eggs benedict & cinnamon roll pancake
Alesia i.

We shared a smoked salmon eggs benedict & a single cinnamon roll pancake. (FYI they charge a $1 for split plates) can't go wrong w/the Breakfast Club. Thankfully we didn't have to wait long to be seated. Definitely one of my go to breakfast spots in town!

Old diner vibe, breakfast was great and service was fast and friendly. This place gets packed, fast so come early.

Waffle

We ate here every morning we were in town. As a person with Celiac, the staff were very helpful and the options were great! I got the pancakes, waffle, and the French toast and I was very happy with all them. The vibe is very much in and out and it was very fast service! Cute little bathroom decor "art work" (word scramble and a maze).

I thought this was a pretty traditional breakfast type place. They have all the usual offerings for breakfast and the setting is clean and comfortable inside. Service was also good. I thought the prices were a little high, but not terribly so. I ordered the Traditional French Toast which goes for $13.95. They gave me three large slices of french toast. Most other places typically cut the slices in half and give you six pieces, but honestly that's just to make you think you are getting a larger serving. The french toast was good and I have no complaints.

Very yummy Pancakes with Fresh Fruit
Em C.

This place was so good and what really made it great was the staff. After waiting at another place for almost an hour in Monterey, my friends and I decided to come here instead. We signed up and waited along with a vast number of people. While we did have to wait a little more they asked if we wanted to sit outside, a lot people hesitated cause it was chilly n windy but their outside tent had heating and the wind was blocked. We joked with our server not to forgot us since we were outside, and she reassured us that they wouldn't. And they deliver. Staff were incredibly attentive, always checking in on us, dropping coffees and drinks and handing us these large creamers (that made me laugh). Everyone of the staff that was attending other tables outside always checked in. They were wonderful :) As for the food, it's legit. Out of all the food I had that weekend it was hands down the best. And the prices were perfect after being in Monterey and Carmel. My friends n I split a pancake that was hella good on its own with no syrup, topped with berries. I got a chile verde omelet that just hit right. Legit the best I've had as well. Pork was tender and the verde sauce was delish. I would def drive down here just to eat here again.

French toast
D R.

We like to visit Monterey a couple times a year. We come here every morning we are in town. My husband loves the cinnamon roll French Toast and my favorite is the banana foster French toast. Service is always warm and friendly. It's the best breakfast in town.

Stopped by The Breakfast Club while visiting Monterey Bay and loved it. The vibe was fun and laid-back, and the service was friendly from the start. I had a mimosa and an omelet, and both hit the spot. The omelet was fresh, cooked well, and had plenty of filling. The mimosa was crisp and just the right start to a relaxing brunch. One of my favorite little touches was the cute coffee cups with the café's name on them which was such a fun detail that made it feel special. Overall, this is a great place for breakfast or brunch if you're in the area. Good food, good drinks, and a nice way to start the day.

Seaside Joe's Scramble
Michelle C.

One of my favorite places to go! There are a lot of choices. Inside has a lot of tables, we went on a sunday morning and were seated quickly. The staff were super nice! Definitely a place that can get loud, when we went, it was pretty low key :)

Chili Verde Omelet
Jerica H.

Wow! A short wait on a Sunday to get a seat, quick service to get drink orders in and delivered to the table and the kitchen staff is quick to get the food out once orders go in! The chile verde omelette was phenomenal! I was still thinking about it the next day! A classic hash brown order and biscuits and gravy on the side, created a filling meal! I also had a bite of the cinnamon roll pancakes which were delicious as usual. Great amount of seating in a nice open space, friendly staff, great food!

Veggie eggs benedict
Sarah S.

Food was great! Service was lacking so I knocked off a star. We found a seat quickly, although they were pretty busy, with our drinks brought by one the guys who cleaned off our table. It took a bit for our server to come take our orders, where I was surprised he showed up in a hoodie, had a very relaxed approach. Not that this is a fancy place but that threw me off a bit. The food came out quickly where I ordered the Veggie egg benedict and my guy had the Chili verde omelet, with substituted Cinnamon roll pancake instead of fries. The food came out very quickly and the girl dropping off the food brought us salsa we requested. Both our meals were really good, cooked well, especially the Chili verde omelet! The cinnamon roll pancake was very sweet but delcious. Our server never came back to check on us, although we saw him walk by multiple times and unfortunately seems to be common with service these days. I was able to get the attention of another worker who brought me a box and asked him if he could find our server for our check where he showed up soon after. We would definitely be back because the food was so good and I highly recommend the Chili verde omelet, as has a lot of flavor and a decent portion of meat. As far as service I wouldn't have high expectations as this place has a "turn and burn" feel to it.

Tarpy's *never disappoints!…read more We held a memorial service here for my beloved in-laws. The staff went above and beyond. They set the room up beautifully and placed some extra tables out for us, which enabled us to play a video, display flowers and photos.

The staff was able to accommodate a group that was far larger than originally anticipated and they were kind enough to set up another large table.

I was dipping everything in truffle butter. The fried artichoke hearts were great. It tastes like a mom and pop burgers fried zucchini's. That's not a bad thing if it's enjoyable. If you order the angus steak and the New York steak, they come with the best of both worlds for side dishes. I split the mashed potatoes from the angus steak and some broccolini from the New York steak. And it was a decent balance of protein, veggies and butter haha. Nick was a funny guy. He was friendly and there Every time we needed him. Didn't realize I had made reservations 45 minutes before closing time. We may have been the last couple in the restaurant but he didn't make us feel rushed.

The food just lacks flavor, and there's nothing that really stands out. Honestly, it's the kind of breakfast I feel like I could make at home. The pancakes were just okay, and while the French toast was probably the best thing we tried, it was way too sweet for my taste. The portions are pretty good, and the service has always been friendly and fast, which I definitely appreciate. But overall, I just don't think it's worth the wait or the price. I really wanted to understand the hype, but after giving it multiple chances, it just wasn't for me.

My breakfast came with a tiny piece of hickory ham steak that was dry, overcooked, and burnt. The eggs were overcooked as well. The biscuits tasted like a basic Bisquick mix, and the gravy was loaded with processed black pepper and that was all it tasted like. Overall, the food was poor quality, especially considering the high prices. I tried several times to get my waitress's attention so I could send the ham back, but she never looked over. By the time I was finally able to flag her down, I was nearly finished eating. To her credit, she replaced the ham with two sausage links, which were acceptable. Unfortunately, the service issues continued when I went to pay. I was standing at the register ready to check out when a group of customers walked in. Instead of completing my transaction, the employee at the front asked me to wait while she seated the new arrivals. Between the lack of attention, disappointing food, and poor customer service, this was a frustrating experience. There are much better breakfast options in town that offer better food for less money. I won't be returning.

When we arrived they had a small parking lot but busy because they do a lot of Door Dash and Uber Eats business. Once inside I took a quick look at the menu and saw they had breakfast burritos of either Chorizo-Sausage-Ham-Bacon or Veggie. I chose Chorizo breakfast burrito($10.39) The shop is run by the owner-he was the cashier and the cook. In talking to him,he was telling me that his family owns multiple Mexican small shops like this in the Juarez Mexico area and El Paso Texas area.Says that all the shops use the same recipe for their hot sauce that is served with the burritos. Once the burrito arrived,it was both heavy and warm.Once I cut it open,I was able to appreciate the craftsmanship of this burrito in all its chorizo,egg,potato and cheese glory-it was beautiful. As pretty as it was though,it tasted even better,I had planned on only eating half of it as I had a tee time in less than an hour but one bite led to another and then it was gone. I've had many breakfast burritos in my day and as unexpected as this is to say,this may have been the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. Also the aforementioned family-recipe hot sauce that came with the burrito was so spicy yet so tasty--perfect combo to a perfect burrito. In closing,if you ever find yourself in the Monterey area and you want to treat yourself to some upper echelon breakfast burritos-do yourself a favor and stop at 3 Mundos sandwich shop-a top tier food experience awaits.

The tortilla had a nice char on it before being wrapped around the plentiful ham, potatoes, egg and cheese in its swaddling embrace. Each bite was fresh and flavorful, even beforr adding some of the house made salsa, which added an even bigger burst of flavor and some heat. I ate 1/2 on site, and rewrapped the other half and enjoyed that while at the golf course.
