    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!!!

The restaurant is housed in an iconic brick building with an interior that resembles Grandma's charming country cottage. It's popular for tourists and locals alike so be prepared for a wait.

Service is with a polite smile and efficient.

We were politely asked to leave. No fault of the restaurant whatsoever--it was just one of those surreal moments that perfectly captured the beginning of that crazy chapter in history. Fast forward six years... We randomly picked this place for dinner and, as soon as we walked in, we both looked at each other and said, "Wait... haven't we been here before?" Then it hit us. This was that restaurant. Apparently, we had unfinished business. This time, the universe finally let us eat. I ordered the Ortega burger with sweet potato fries, my wife had the patty melt with onion rings, and we took an order of linguini home for later. Every single bite was fantastic. The food was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely worth the six-year wait. The service was just as impressive. Karina was our waitress, and she was attentive, friendly, charming, and made us feel genuinely welcome. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend this place. And if you decide to eat here, there's a very good chance you'll get your food much sooner than we did... only six years ahead of schedule.

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.

In a world where restaurants and coffee shops can be wildly inconsistent, this place just keeps showing up and doing what it does best. My go-to is always the Baja Mocha. At this point, it's less of a coffee order and more of a long-term relationship. It's rich, smooth, perfectly balanced, and just spicy enough to keep things interesting. Every time I tell myself I should try something different, the Baja Mocha gives me that "Don't be ridiculous" look, and I happily order it again. A visit also isn't complete without grabbing a pound of whole beans to take home. That way, I can continue pretending my kitchen is a quaint little coffee shop instead of just... my kitchen. The café itself has a ton of character. It's on the cozy side, which means it can fill up quickly, especially during busy times. If you're looking for acres of seating and total silence, this probably isn't your spot. But if you're looking for exceptional coffee, a welcoming atmosphere, and a place that feels like a true local favorite, you'll understand why people keep coming back. The staff is always entertaining in the best possible way. They're friendly, have personality, and somehow manage to keep things moving even when the place is buzzing. It's the kind of coffee shop where the people behind the counter seem like they're genuinely enjoying themselves, and that energy rubs off on everyone else. If you're passing through Cambria or lucky enough to live nearby, do yourself a favor and stop in. Just don't blame me when the Baja Mocha becomes your default order too.

She also had to stop taking orders halfway to make drinks, making the long line to get even longer. There wasn't enough seating, so we decided to take our food to go. They can't help warm up our pastries and directed us to use the microwave and toaster oven ourselves. For the price of the pastries I paid, I expected better service rather than DIY. When the coffee was ready, they did call names but the place was so crowded, we all had to wait outside of the cafe. So many of customers had to come in and out several times to check on their orders. The coffee was also extremely hot and not drinkable right away. Overall slow service, crowded environment, messy flow. I wouldn't come back.

Now, full disclosure--I might be a little biased because Mexican food is my favorite cuisine. I grew up in Los Angeles, where finding incredible Mexican food isn't a challenge... it's practically a birthright. So when I say Medusa's is the real deal, I don't hand out that compliment lightly. My wife and I almost always order the Molcajete, and it's become our tradition. It's advertised as serving two people, and it absolutely does... assuming one of those people doesn't "accidentally" keep taking just one more bite. It's loaded with flavor, generous portions, and arrives at the table looking like it deserves its own introduction. The biggest surprise on this visit? The tortillas. They were fresh, homemade, and absolutely phenomenal. Maybe they've always made them from scratch and I somehow missed it, but this time they stole the show. They tasted just like the ones my abuelita used to make--warm, soft, and so good they almost made me forget there was an entire Molcajete sitting in front of me. One of my favorite things about Medusa's is that it's family-run, and you can feel it the moment you walk in. Everyone is genuinely welcoming, friendly, and makes you feel like you're more than just another table. That kind of hospitality is getting harder to find, and it makes the meal even better. I've eaten at a lot of Mexican restaurants over the years, and Medusa's has earned a permanent spot near the top of my list. If you're in Cambria and craving authentic Mexican food, do yourself a favor and stop here. Just one piece of advice: don't fill up on the chips... no matter how much your stomach insists it's a great idea. Your future self will thank you when the Molcajete arrives.
