Overall experience of this café was good.. The café in general is very small and fits about 30 people indoors. I ordered the Salmon Toast it was loaded with cream cheese, cucumbers , salmon and topped off with capers. The toast is literally one big piece of toast that you will need a knives and fork to cut into , its very filling. Parents with children, there is not restroom in the restaurant. this can make it tough when you have little ones. I saw a lot of parents with toddlers dining at the restaurant. read more

A nice bakery (though I rarely eat pastries) with 8 or 9 buck sandwiches which come with fruit salad and salad on the side. I had the chicken, jack cheese, shaved carrots and avocado on pita. It was nice. They messed up (sent out another one) and gave me and my friend two free cookies. Only wine is Woodbridge (as bad as Sutter Home) but Pellegrino, soda and various coffees. Next to Starbucks on Orange between 8th and 9th. Nice people. read more

Didn't see hours posted and was going to grab some sweets after lunch yesterday, only to find them closing up shop. You'd think they would want to make a few more pastry sales, knowing that stuff has a short shelf life. Normally I'm dissuaded by that kind of thing, but my husband really wanted to try the chilaquiles and the muffins looked good. Went back today for breakfast and wasn't disappointed. The chocolate chip muffins tasted like chocolate cake with chocolate chips here and there. Had just the right amount of crunch on the top of the muffin - could've just sold that and would have been delicious. I didn't try the chilaquiles, but he enjoyed them. Not much seating, and what was there was full - always a good sign. We went around 11am and were served quickly. Kind of a strange combination of food offerings - muffins and Mexican breakfast dishes. (Pan Dulce would have been awesome.) Didn't opt for the $9 pancakes because they were $9 - really?? Would've rated them higher if it weren't for their prices. read more

The food is delicious however as I'm used to a wait for food not for your drink to be given to you well after you have your food. No communication regarding to your customer over a drink taking 20 mins to get to you so poor customer service to say the least. To say I was disappointed that I placed the tip in the Jar before sitting down with my family and waiting for our food is an understatement. Lesson learned. read more

Yolanda is the best!!!! I needed something quick to bring over to a friends house and she ordered me the best muffins and made the box sooooo beautiful !!! Muffins are sooooo pretty !!!!! Def recommend this spot! Super affordable too. I got 7 items for 24 dollars . read more

Best breakfast on Coronado. Happened to find it on the way to Starbucks. Perfect portions, fresh food and delicious baked goods. The muffins are bigger than your head! I highly recommend Villa Nueva. Has a moderate sized outdoor eating area where dogs are welcome and great for people watching. Coffee is better than most places as well. The food comes out hot and fast. Perfect if you are in a hurry or want to sit and relax a bit. read more

We tried this cute little restaurant based on reviews. It is a small place, but finding a seat was rather quick... Order at the register and they bring your food to you. Cute inside, with lots of delicious looking pastries and huge muffins. We ordered kids pancake meal and chilaquiles with eggs. Pancakes were really good! When I ordered the eggs, I thought for the extra $, I'd get at least 2 eggs. Nope, just one. It was cooked very well, but their green sauce is simply mild tomatillo sauce. It's good, but if your looking for authentic Mexican green chile sauce, it's not it. Waitstaff was friendly, atmosphere seemed a bit stuffy for the kind of restaurant it was. This place beats your chain breakfast places by far. read more

Great food and atmosphere! I tried the orange blossom pancakes; delicious and they serve the best bacon ever.

Great spot for breakfast/brunch. Small but cute. Ambience isn't super amazing but it is fine for the cafe feel. They have a huge assortment of muffins that seem to be very popular. We tried the cinnamon crisp which is delish. Ordered the avocado toast and it was excellent Crispy toast, avocado with lemon spritz and red chili flakes with olive oil. Highly recommend. I also added a poached egg and it was cooked exactly as I ordered (which is sadly rare) read more

Every server is super-pissed nobody says thank you or welcome or gives you a smile. Baked goods are stale one day old for sure. Table service is bare - no sugar or stirrer have to go get it at the counter - What's worse is that they use that hatred iPad app that makes you feel bad if you don't tip upfront for a service you have not received yet. Don't go there. read more

Awesome omelet, coffee and huge mimosa. Fair price and so much better than the fancy resort food. Highly recommend this place for breakfast and coffee. read more

The Atmosphere: Our Go to Cute little Cafe that we Bring our family's/friends too who are visiting from out of the area.. The Seating is limited but that Is the Charm. If you are the owner I would not expand.. It would take away from the Cozy Casual Coronado Ambiance that So Many people are attracted to- In Season: There's going to be a line so plan accordingly and check your attitude at the door. You have plenty of time to grab a menu- place an order and yes find a table- so do not panic and start reverting back to your caveman ways. First come first Seating is not about your Entitlements. Its about treating everyone the same- My Two Cents: First Come-First Serve Seating Strategy Number 1-(works every time) 1. Have a member of your Party tell you what they want to order and have them scout a table- 2. As soon as the table opens up have a Member of your Party sit at the table 3. Grab a server and ask them nicely/respectfully to please clean the table. First Come First Serve SeatingStrategy Number 2- 1. Grab a Menu and Sit on the Bench outside 2. Wait for a table to open Up 3. Grab the Table and Have a member of your party Sit at the Table 4. Ask the Server to Clean the Table(Politely People!) Out of Season- We only come out on the Weekends but the lines are not as long during peak times/seasons The Service- What a Great Team you have! The Women that were there did their job quickly and efficiently-Another term for that would be they were working their bottoms off.. The Girl at the Counter took our order with a smile on her face. Although their was a line we did not feel rushed by her. We order our food- Paid with our Card and we were on our Way. Its not Rocket Science. The Two Girls Delivering Food/Clearing plates from tables were quick and efficient. I have gone to Upscale/Fine Dining Restaurants across the pond and have paid $230.00 for Two people and walked out with Dirty Dinner plates still on the table....smh The Chef- A freaking Rock-Star. My View was limited and I only saw One guy back there who was very focused and putting those plates out quickly and efficiently! My Two Cents: 1. Do Not allow the Snotty reviews of a couple of people Sour you- You guys are doing an amazing Job- Your staff is Friendly, very attentive and work really hard at making sure your guest are accommodated- 2. Do not clear plates in an attempt to turn tables- The Food- (From Scratch Kitchen Rule!) One blueberry Scone(SoooooGood) Not sure who they source their baked items from but that Blueberry Scone has Never Failed me Yet!! lol California Omelet (Omelet Side of Potatoes and a Croissant) No Tomato extra Avocado- (Typical Cali Omelet its what I asked for and what I got. =) Needed a little seasoning or some hot sauce.. Next time I am going to get the avocado toast with a side of eggs- The lady next to me had that and it looked amazing. One order Chilaquiles ( My son said it was amazing) Ultimate Omelet Just Okay my Husband likes it Hot and Spicy Side of Sausages (Really Good) Kids Pancake Meal ( eggs/bacon)( The Kid Loved them!) 2 Orange Juices One Chocolate Milk One Coffee and One Mocha Coffee $70.00 and some Change..Cha Ching! can't beat that! Conclusion- I work in HR have hired people who work in Operations Boutique/Craftman-style and Fine Dining Restaurant Concepts- I know how restaurants are supposed to Run and I know when They are not operating efficiently- The owner was their yesterday overseeing his staff and assisting where help was needed. You can tell that he cares about his Guest and also his Employees. Do Not allow a couple of Bad Experience Yelp reviews to Sour You on visiting this Little Peach/Gem. If you have an Issue- Pick up the Phone, speak to the owner/manager and give them the opportunity to rectify the issue before you try to murder their business on Yelp. If you want to complain about spotty over priced food and bad service there are plenty of Options for you across the bridge where you can pay $5.00 -$10.00 for Parking vs $1.00 where the Overwhelming Smell of Urine(Or whatever that is) Permeates your Nostrils/Ruins your appetite the second you step out of the car and the waits to be seated are an hour vs 10-15 minutes. Pretty Decent Food, Great Casual Vibe and the Staff works really hard to accommodate and anticipate the needs of their guest. This is a great little place to bring friends/family too without spending a ton of money. Do not allow a couple of bad reviews to sour you on dining here or allow the lines to detour you. ;) read more

I have been going to this place every summer for years. It started out excellent, good enough that we went to breakfast there every day for the whole week we were there. In the last couple of years however, this place has gone downhill. 1. Black Pancakes. Seriously, I had a bite of my pancake and it tasted really funny. After flipping it over I realized that the underside of all of my pancakes were completely burned. Come on now, pancakes take like 30 seconds to make, was it too hard to start over and give me something edible? 2. Rude waitresses. My dad ordered the breakfast plate with the eggs over easy and sausage, it was supposed to come with a croissant and potatoes. All he got was eggs and sausage. When we asked the waitress where the rest of it was she argued that all he had said was eggs and sausage, he explained that he had just told her what he wanted from the choices. Instead of apologizing and getting the rest of his food she told him that he would have to go to the counter, wait in line, and order it again. 3. Inconsiderate owner. I have been here when the place is packed, no room to be found, and the owner is sitting a a four person table by himself reading the newspaper drinking coffee (while parked in the spot directly in front of the place). 4. I do really love the croissants they have here, but last time I came they didn't have any, said they were out of them, and it was only 9:30 am. I am really hoping to give an update next year saying that they have turned the place around because this used to be the best breakfast place in Coronado, I'll keep you posted. read more

We had the chorizo burrito, breakfast croissant, Greek quiche m, orange blossom pancakes and a BLT... Overall, the experience was great and we'd highly recommend it. The place has great ambiance and the service was lovely. Our teenagers were somewhat unimpressed by the BLT (sans avocado...although it arrived with it and we stole it and it was delicious!) but we were super satisfied with the pancakes, burrito and croissant sandwich. Would totally suggest the stop if you're in the area (reasonably priced too!) read more

They have the most AMAZING pastries - the muffins are to die for! I went there for lunch one day - the sandwich was very good. I did order an iced mocha - I would not recommend the coffee here, tastes weak. The first time I ate one of their muffins - OMG! it was pretty much the most amazing thing I've ever tasted. read more

This was a wonderful cafe which made me grateful to have chosen to venture past the Starbucks next door. I went in early and had a delicious pastry and cappuccino while I worked into lunch, at which time I ordered their delicious soup of the day, vegetable beef. It was consistently busy, but relaxing in atmosphere. Their prices were comparable. I highly recommend! read more

Excellent breakfast spot with such a cool vibe in Coronado. I had the breakfast croissant and it was excellent.

I heard about this place through my girlfriend who had been there before. The service was poor from the moment we walked in until we left. The cashier was gabbing with her co-workers while people waiting in line. The sandwich was pretty good, but not prepared the way that we asked for it. The lunch special was a Greek salad, but they had no greek salad dressing (surprisingly). The sandwich usually comes with chips, but was brought with nothing. When we asked for an explanation, the cashier/waitress said they were out and provided no discount or resolution. I hope they change some of their staff, because the food wasn't horrible. read more

I have never had a salad where they melt the cheese on top! I ordered the cobb salad with cheddar cheese instead of feta and when it arrived to my table it was a warm salad with melted cheddar on it. Yuck a duck! 1 star for the super nice waitress and 1 star for the quick service. read more

I really like the cozy and quaint environment. It's very clean, the staff are very friendly and helpful, and the coffee is very good. I had a cappuccino, and they gave me so many options to have it made. I also had a blueberry muffin, which was delicious! (Not too sweet) read more

Villa Nueva Bakery Cafe - Bakeries Near Me - Coronado, California

Very cute and fun cafe. We had some coffee but would love to come back again for lunch. Clean and staff was very helpful and sweet.

The coffee, food, and service were all awful. Borderline inedible. I usually like to give a place the benefit of the doubt but this was maybe the worst breakfast place I've been too in the last couple years. read more

Really, really bad lattes. Scorched milk, overroasted beans. Cheese danish was fine but nothing memorable. Service was not warm.

Cinnamon roll was great. Everything else was terrible including the coffee. We tried 2 other pastries and 3 breakfasts. Left most of it behind. read more

Horrific food, shamefully appalling service -- the absolute worst I've had in all of southern California. PASS. I've been wanting to eat here for a very long time, because it looks like an adorable little French cafe. Today I was headed to a movie down the street, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity. But the moment I walked in, I had second thoughts. All the pastries in the case looked too dense and greasy to be authentic. I could tell just by looking that the cookies had WAY too much butter in them. But I was there for lunch, so I checked out the menu for actual food. There was a whole Mexican section, which not only made me further doubt the authenticity of their wares, but also made me scratch my head (sesame seeds in an enchilada??). I saw some sandwiches, typical deli fare, given local names as thought that somehow improves them. A transplanted East-Coaster, I miss corned beef and pastrami sandwiches something fierce, so I ordered the corned beef sandwich. My husband ordered a burger. Bafflingly, the sandwich comes with a side of fruit salad. Their selection of chips was pretty pathetic, but they'd already charged us for a bag, so my husband said he'd eat them, and I could have his fries. When the food arrived, I could tell that my sandwich wasn't going to be as good as I had hoped -- the sauerkraut was too thick and dry to be any good. Determined to overlook this, I picked up my sandwich and took a bite. On a scale of 1-10, where 10 is the best tasting corned beef sandwich I've ever had, and 1 is the worst, this was a three. That's on taste alone. The thing that made it inedible, though, was the fact that it was only marginally -- and I mean marginally -- warmer than room temperature. The menu states this is a Hot Sandwich, as it should be; but this one tasted like it'd been heated up and then left sitting out for 15+ minutes. A hot sandwich should be served hot. We asked them to remake the sandwich, as you can't just reheat a corned beef-sauerkraut-and-thousand-island sandwich. I sat and ate my husband's awful "fries" while I waited. I'd expected them to be actual french fries, but they were those terrible battered potatoes that some people have the audacity to call 'fries'. Menus should really warn you if that's what they're going to serve you. I tasted his burger, which was pretty alright, but nothing special, and definitely not worth the price we'd paid. After awhile, they brought my sandwich back out. It was the Same Sandwich. The Exact Same One. It had the single bite taken out of it where I had tried to eat it before. And the bread was now burnt. How could anyone think you could reheat a toasted sandwich and have it taste acceptable? By this time, we were out of patience. We gave them one chance to salvage a sandwich that was inedible when they'd served it, and they just made it worse. They offered to remake it, but it was too late -- we wouldn't have time to get to the movie on time -- not to mention that I had absolutely no interest in eating there anymore. This is just inexcusable business practice. Because of them, we weren't even able to make the movie, because we had to go find something to eat somewhere else. So basically, they ruined our entire day, because they couldn't make a simple sandwich the way their menu says it is served. Save Yourselves -- DO NOT EAT HERE. These pretenders should be ashamed of everything they serve. But if you're looking for authentic pastries and delicious sandwiches, I heartily recommend Bread & Cie -- the absolute opposite end of the spectrum from this place. read more

First, the good things: You go up to counter and order Find a seat and they'll bring you the food- at times its nice not having to deal with a waiter or waitress Location is well placed OK, now the bad The place was messy They didn't have enough help, especially a bus boy to clear and clean tables. The food was so-so. We went for breakfast and it was limited in scope and nothing stood out to me that I said I have to have this. Could only pay with cash. Don't know if the machine was broken or what, but I have a real problem with an owner of a restaurant not taking credit cards. TO THE OWNER- Here's a tip, if I can pay by credit card, I'll buy more food and pastries! As it was I had to double check my cash load to make sure I had enough. I don't walk around awash in Franklin's. To sum up our experience- m'ehh.... read more

Came here with my daughter as we were looking for a lunch place and we stumbled n Villa Nueva. What great place for lunch! The service was great. Food was fresh and everything was made to order. I am bringing my husband for breakfast for Father's Day . Can't wait to try the omelets! read more

The Orange flavored pancakes are BOMB!!! We stopped by here as we were out exploring Coronado. Yes the cafe is small, but our party of 4 plus a baby stroller fit perfect outside at a table. We love it's uniqueness and enjoyed talking to the owner/manager about the place. Staff was pleasant, food came out fast and hot, and flavor of all food was great! read more

I get tired of eating at the same places on Coronado every week, so I decided to try this place. at first I was going to get a sandwich, but their entree menu looked very appealing the whatever was cooking in the kitchen smelled great. I order the Enchilladas Suizas and they were great. The cheesy was tasty and gooey. The enchilada sauce was mildly spicy with a little hint of chipoltle. The dish was topped with onion which really made it good. I will have to try some of their other recipes sometime. It look a little for my food to come, but I figure they were making it from scratch so it didnt bother me at all. The service was extremely polite and attentive. read more

Fun place good for a weekend morning of people watching and eating breakfast! I liked the variety of food offered- I was able to order granola with fruit, milk, and a muffin and my friend got the huevos rancheros so we could share salty and sweet. My granola and fruit was big and I got full fast (but not full enough to not poke my fork at my friend's eggs and beans!). The huevos were done well and the plate was large too. The pumpkin muffin looked great, but it was a little dense for my taste. Maybe I should have ordered the bran muffin for something with a little more texture. Would come again and maybe order a breakfast burrito- I saw a lot of people eating those! read more

This place is very affordable and the food is amazing. The service is good and fast. You can seat inside or outside. The eggs Benedict's are delicious the same as the ultimate omelet. I highly recommend this place. read more

Nice place to sit along the sidewalk, no bathroom inside (use Starbucks next door), basic menu, decent customer service. We had the ham-cheese breakfast croissant...chunky ham isn't my favorite. The lox bagel came all in separates and you put it together yourself. Nothing unique or homemade about it. read more

Get the Coronado club, it's amazing. Only reason I gave it 4 stars, even though there was no wait to get the table, it did take forever to get our food. Still it's a great little place off of Orange Ave read more

The cookies are delicious and if I had solely come here for the baked goods, I may have given a 5 star review. However our whole goal was to get a good lunch in and leave feeling satisfied. Our meal wasn't horrible by any means, but it was not spectacular either. I would come here again for the baked goods and coffee, but not sure if I'd give lunch a chance again especially for the price. read more
