    Panini with home fries
    Marites S.

    Definitely returning to The Spot, everything we ate was delicious tasty and nosltalgicly like Moms home cooking, we had the Albondigas soup- that was absolutely amazing!! so amazing, that we quickly ate it up before taking a picture. The Spot is clean, has both indoor & outdoor seating, the friendliest customer service. So glad we got to try this place during our annual vacation, we will definitely return.

    We came here for lunch. Service was quick. There was ample seating inside and out. The outside area overlooks the shopping center. My partner ordered the Ferrari chicken sandwhich and said it was good! Can confirm, I did like it as well! The albondiga soup was the hi light for me! It was so good! It's definitely flavorful and tastes authentic! The chicken coop crepe was smaller than expected and decent. However if I ever come again I'd opt for their soups!

    I am surprised at how many stars this place has, to be quite honest! We must have had a completely different experience than is the norm. My husband and I shared an acai bowl and garden scramble. To start off positive, the roasted potatoes with the scramble were excellent and they were kind enough to sub our toast for fruit at no extra charge. The scramble itself tasted as it should have. The acai bowl was terrible. It was extremely watery (like the consistency of juice) and had ice chunks in it. We should have returned it right away to ask them to make it again, but I was really surprised at how bad it was. Absolutely would not get again. The coffee was also bad. I was expecting diner coffee, but it was not good for even diner coffee. I don't think I would be back nor would I recommend this place as a breakfast option while in Cambria.

    The Spot is a lovely family owned and operated restaurant, offering both beautiful tree views, delicious food and the hospitable service unique to family operated businesses. My husband and I shared the pastrami panini and a bagel with cream cheese. Both satisfied our appetite and the pastrami panini especially delighted our tastebuds. The pastrami panini was a perfect balance of flavors and textures with the saltiness of the pastrami, the tartness of the mustard, the creamy avocado and the crispy French roll. It was simplistic deliciousness at its finest. And the kale Caesar salad that accompanied the sandwich was tasty enough to be a meal on its own! Sandwiches are just the right size to eat on your own of share. The menu is extensive and you are sure to find something to please everyone in your group (pics are missing one side of the menu that features smoothies) Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available and though busy, service was efficient and attentive. Felt like we were being served by family!

    Good food, great service. Indoor and out door seating (primarily outdoor). I got a chia pudding thing with berries and my husband got a breakfast with tomatoes and that was delicious. Really simple but tasty food

    I have never had better food at a restaraunt!!!!!! This is how food should be made! Restaraunts always say they are "homemade" or what not but then add in silly fake substitutes for food! But you order eggs here and guess what, you get eggs, real eggs that have been cracked open into scrambled eggs. I've always loved soups and I love making them too, I tasted the hominy soup and it tasted even better than my own homemade hominy soup, it tasted like childhood and home and even better. We ordered a panini. I bit in and couldn't believe how excellent the pairing of flavors was! It had layers of chicken and artichoke and tomato and pesto and a big chunk of mozerella! It was so so so good! My kids crepes looked yummy too. I'm so impressed. My kids said I should complain that I can't give 6 stars. We will come back to cambria jsut for this place! It's a small indoor area and a patio that mold out into a little valley. I peeked into the kitchen and saw fresh ingredients on the counters and brands I recognize like Orgain protein powder and Kirkland. I saw fresh ingredients like a tub of apples and honey. I'm so happy! You guys are doing an amazing job! So thankful for your effort and keeping it clean! The fact you guys get some of your ingredients from a micro farm I'm in love! As close to clean, fresh as you could get outside of making it yourself and far more delicious a than I could ever make myself!

    The Spot is well deserving of its current 5 star Yelp average. There is a lot in the back of the two story building in which the restaurant is located. There is also a lot across the street in the market, but you are probably not supposed to park there. You may be able to access the restaurant without stairs from its lot, but not from the street. The owner at least sometimes waits the tables. When he is on duty you can be sure that you will get good service. We believe at least some of the other employees are his family and undoubtably they will give you good service as well. The two crepes we had were excellent. Both had good flavor and a decent amount of fillings inside. We had the banana Nutella crepe and a savory crepe--forget which one. Their coffee was not bad. You could smell the aroma from the garlic on the potatoes in the parking lot. They were above average breakfast potatoes. Definitely recommend breaking any diet to get the potatoes. They were not super crowded at/near open on a week day. However, they were starting to get good business when we were leaving. There is limited indoor seating and additional outdoor seating on the walkway/patio that encircles the building. You can see them preparing some of the food from some tables inside. Would definitely recommend giving these guys a try and will visit them again if we are back in the area.

    Been meaning to try The Spot for years and love that you get a view and they are pet friendly. We sat on the patio and met with friendly and quick service. We ordered the iced matcha and pine-kaleada smoothie, breakfast wrap, Nutella- strawberry-banana crepe and side of potatoes. Everything was super tasty, great portions, just wish the potatoes were a little more crispy. Otherwise a perfect breakfast/ brunch spot!

    strawberry toast. also had the sweetest cantaloupe and apples.

    We saw this place from the grocery store. We were there at 9 when they opened. Sat outside on the balcony. What weather!! Great service. Friendly owner. Coffee was okay, better than our hotel. Food was terrific. The wife had the mushroom crepe. I had the regular with eggs over medium, potatoes snd crispy bacon. Then we split strawberry toast. Good toasted bread with marscapone cheese and strawberries topped with almonds. We ate everything. So good!!!

    I ate here because of the the 5 star reviews on Yelp without checking the menu first. I arrive to a smallish restaurant in a business park. The menu features mostly healthier options including juices, smoothies, toasts, wraps, bagels, crepes and salads. I had a breakfast bagel which was very good. You will not find omelets, traditional breakfast or biscuits and gravy here. I wasn't a fan of the menu but my order was good! 3.5 stars.

Just look for the building with the whimsical cartoonish pie statue out front. Darn cute! So many pie flavor choices. Slices, mini pies or whole pies. Sweet or savory. Plus the cafe menu includes sandwiches, wraps, panini's, salads, soup, stews, comfort food entrees, and hot dogs. The young man working the counter was fantastic. Sincerely friendly.welcoming, extremely helpful, and knowledgeable about the menu. Provided great recommendations. We ordered a hot dog $10. All beef. It was split grilled served with side of potato salad. And a slice of olallieberry pie $7. The dog had a nice quality snap, good flavor. The potato salad for me was just ok. The pie was heavenly. Perfect thickness of crust; it was dense, flaky and tender all around yummy. My tastebuds were doing a happy dance! The cafe has a charming farmhouse interior. The cafe interior tables were fitted with plastic table cloths. Not a fan of those. The back patio was super cute. The area is compact. Gorgeous flowers and plants all lushly thriving and blooming. Whimsical metal sculpture art . Water fountains that gave off a calming trickling water sound. The windmill structure was pretty cool. Dual purpose of up cycle art and patio cover. Almost every table had a huge umbrella providing shade. Next to the back patio are the restrooms housed in its own stand alone building. Could use a refresh. There are a few spots in the car lot in the back. But the lot is tiny and hard to maneuver about for larger vehicles.

A quick online search will tell you that an olallieberry is a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry and it's all delicious . I had a slice of pie a la mode. My daughter had an olallieberry cream puff and my partner had a slice of cherry pie. All were so good, especially with a nice cup of coffee. We sat in the outside garden patio area on a lovely late spring day. It was perfect. The service was friendly and yes it can take a little long, but it's a small shop with one guy doling out the pies, so be patient , it's worth it.

When she is not here, it is a different place. On slow weekdays the staff range from unfriendly to flat out rude, and they close early. Posted closing is 1 pm, but I have watched the closed sign go up at 12:30 and been turned away. The last excuse was a power outage. I live here. That outage lasted about ten minutes and had ended more than three hours earlier. And it is not just me. Last week I was in a coffee shop nearby, standing behind a woman who had come back to visit after moving away years ago. She had just walked out of Lily's five minutes earlier. She was telling her friend that it had always been her favorite place and that the owner was wonderful, but was shocked that the staff were nasty. She did not know I was listening and had no reason to say it except that it had just happened and she was upset about it because she was nostalgic and had been looking forward to going to her favorite place. If you show up in that last thirty minutes on a day that is not busy, you may find the door shut on you regardless of what the sign says. So go there when the owner is there or go more than thirty minutes before closing on days unlikely to be busy. Of course not all the staff are that unfriendly - The long term staff are friendly But too many aren't . They get laid off or quit them you get a new one with attitude . It's just I have bad luck showing up at wrong time.
