Chilaquilas with 1/2 green 1/2 red sauce
Gale B.

We got gas nearby and stopped here for Breakfast. Food is homemade & made to order --delicious! i had the Huevos a la Mexicana with potatoes & my hubby ordered the chilaquilis with half green & half red saice. Both saices were homemade and tasted great. Really liked the green sauce. Heovos rancheros ordered alot and looked yummy too. Will definately come back again when passing through!

The food was amazing! The presentation of the business is so cozy and welcoming. The people running the place give great service and answers your questions. The chef gets creative with the plate presentations.

Molletes with beans bacon and eggs. So yummy
Dawn J.

We almost hate to review this place because it is a hidden gem for us. We have breakfast here every day they are open when we come to Fort Bragg

1/2 & 1/2 Chilaquiles .
Brenda Francisco R.

You order first than sit down. Food was excellent, the 1/2 & 1/2 red & green chile. The huevos rancheros were tasty but a bit spicy. Breakfast burrito was a good size and good! Fast and good service and food! 5 plates $95.00

After a disappointing first vacation meal in Fort Bragg, I was excited to see a Mexican breakfast spot with such great ratings. Sadly though, it was just another disappointing Fort Bragg meal. I ordered the huevos con chorizo and my mom the pancakes with eggs and bacon. Everything was pretty bland and needed the addition of salt. Once I added salt to my meal it was much more enjoyable. The scramble was a little over cooked, but the hashbrowns were cooked perfectly, and I liked the texture of the beans. My mom's pancakes had no flavor at all. When she said that, I was skeptical and thought that maybe they were just a little bland, but no, they really tasted like nothing. No sweetness whatsoever. The syrup helped, but you shouldn't have to smother a pancake in syrup for it to have flavor. We arrived fairly early in the morning and there was only one group ahead of us waiting for their food. The food took a while to come out, and it didn't come out at the same time. We had a good 5 minute wait between entrees arriving. The prices here were better than most places in the area, not over priced and pretty reasonable for the portions. Just wish the food had more flavor.

Traditional Mexican breakfast
Erin S.

Yup, it's delicious! Probably would not have come in here if it wasn't for the Yelp reviews and I'm so glad I did. It was one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had and they have fresh fruit smoothies for $6!!!! Also the homemade green salsa will but hair on your chest in a good way.

Breakfast burrito
Lauren R.

Good food and very affordable. Loved their breakfast burrito and swapped the beans for mixed veggies and it was delicious. My 18month old liked it too! I also got a latte that I like a lot. My husband got the berry crepe and enjoyed it as well. Great place to bring your family.

Jessica W.

Instead of our usual spot, we hit up Cafe Jaavy for a Saturday breakfast. Both the breakfast burrito and my breakfast were delightful. Great deal for the price.

Juevos Rancheros con Chorizo, blended espresso, fruit smoothie
Ty M.

I love a Mexican breakfast! Their blended espresso was one of the very best I've ever had! I ordered Huevos Rancheros, but got Juevos Rancheros Con Chorizo. I don't eat meat, so my husband got that portion. Still very good! Simple, fresh food made to order.

Omelette
Natalie R.

A very basic but solid meal for a reasonable price. Walk up, order, pay and (tip). Find a table that's been cleaned. Wait a reasonable amount of time for your food. Coffee refills brought round. Cream and sugar on the table. They clean and wipe the tables as fast as folks leave. Absolutely nothing remarkable but it's 100% exactly what you would expect. Doesn't look like much, inside or out but it's clean and everyone was pleasant.

Hash Browns and Coffee
Vienna W.

Nice service, fast, pleasant atmosphere :). yummy food and good coffee! Glad I stopped in

Verde chilaquiles

Came for breakfast and it was just what we wanted!!! Ordered the chilaquiles verdes with scrambled eggs, FRESHLY squeezed orange juice and a chorizo breakfast burrito. It was good prices for GREAT food. It's a small and cozy restaurant. You order first at the front then find a spot. Service was good, no complaints.

Green Jaavy Chilaquilles
Marc T.

We are blessed to have so many yummy spots in Fort Bragg. Sunday I did a review of the laundry right next door, the smells emanating were divine. My son and his girlfriend treated and both got the burrito which was giant and AWESOME. My son dipped into my plate and reveled at its flavor. The chips were the perfect consistency remaining crispy even while melded with the best green sauce in town and cheese. The eggs were perfectly fried and the black beans an amazing complement. The entire meal was filling and well worth the price. All is all a great breakfast.

What a great little place to snag a tasty breakfast. Lucky to find this place on Yelp. Be advised…read moreit is a cash only. You can always tell a great locals spot and this place was filled with them. We were happy to score a table so we could enjoy our breakfast. We ordered the Belgian Waffle which is the dish they are known for. In addition, we ordered the breakfast burrito, fresh squeezed orange juice, and a hot chocolate. We loved both of our dishes but the Belgian Waffle did steal the show. It was probably the best Belgian Waffle I have ever tasted. The burrito was also good. Loved the OJ as you just can't beat freshly squeezed. Service was helpful but not too over the top. The space is small but there are quite a few tables if you come early. This place is easy to locate in downtown Ft. Bragg and parking is on the street. I would definitely recommend and return here again.

I really wish I made it in for the music the night before. We ended up missing that and decided to…read morepop in for breakfast instead. It's cash only. There are signs on EVERY table that say you can only sit if you get the items for here, but we asked if we could get to go cups so that we could take our drink to go. They made it seem like we're unwelcome if we did this. We wanted to eat our pastries there (we don't like eating stick stuff in the car, so sue us) and be able to take our drink with us to finish later. We felt pretty uncomfortable doing this, but again, I didn't want to eat sticky stuff in my car. The pastries were pretty good, I would say my chai latte was not very good though. I am glad I asked for my drink in a to go cup because I got to finish it on the road, which I would not have been able to do if I was made to take it in a glass.

Thank God I read other peoples reviews. The place is a little hard to find. The sign on top is…read morefaded. And the sign in front is for the hotel behind the cafe. We decided to eat breakfast here because they have tables outside. (We have 3 dogs) We took a bench out front not a problem. The owner said that as long as the dogs stay in the stroller we could eat inside. This made our day (it was cold outside). I love that small town community feeling. The owner,who was on the premise totally made us feel at home and welcomed the dogs. The waitress seemed to know most of the regulars. I came here looking for the biscuits and gravy. The pictures looked great. Also got a side of ham. My wife ordered a ham and cheese omelette. Her's came out stuffed with ham. I was kinda surprised considering the price of meat. But definitely a deal for price. Mine came with a plate of biscuits covered in gravy. And a nice slice of fried ham. I wish I could give them 6 stars it was the highlight of my trip to fort Bragg

This is not an easy restaurant to find. We drove past it 3 time and still couldn't find it. If you…read morelook on Google Maps they show a pic of it as a blue building. As it turns out. It's right behind the Sea Bird lodge sign and next to Chevron. Once you found it you can't miss it. From what we can see there is no signage on the restaurant with the name on it or we totally missed it. It's not a new restaurant. It's got that homey feel to it. I'm guessing it's a mom and pop shop, a small business. And we should support those local all businesses and not hit up Dennys if we can. We waked in at 7:08an in Wednesday, May 6, 2026. The place was quiet. One others gentleman was there. When we left a party of 3 were just settling in. They have a full menu two sided that they hand out upon entry that is laminated. You are welcome to sit anywhere. We chose a window seat in the front corner. The temperature was pleasant inside and I was able to shed my heavy jacket and was comfortable in my jeans and a light sweater. They have 2 whiteboards of additional specials. We got the bacon, cheese, and bacon omelet with a side of potato's and a biscuit. You have choices of toast, pancake, or biscuit. As for potatoes you could have gotten a potato patty instead. The servings were huge. We only ate half and were full. Now we have leftovers for tomorrow's breakfast. The potatoes were real fresh potatoes. Some still had the sling on them. They were cooked on the griddle. I should have asked for mine extra crispy as I like crispy potatoes. They weren't salty or really seasoned at all so I added some salt and paired it with ketchup. Very tasty. The omelette was chuck full of crispy bacon and avocado , it could have used more cheese. The biscuit was light and flaky, but it lacked the buttery flavor. It was a true big biscuit that was home made. There was an array of jams and jellies to choose from and peanut butter. We chose apricot. Overall it was a good breakfast and I highly Reccomend this place if your hotel doesn't offer a free breakfast like ours didn't. It was also nice that we could walk over from our hotel.

This trip we made it a point to go and it was delicious! At first when we walked in there was no one there to greet us, maybe because it was a Wednesday when they first opened and it was the low season, but I still think someone should be there to greet you. I would have taken a star away for that but our server made up for it. She was attentive and very nice. The views were beautiful and you can see all the boats, seals, and birds. If the weather is nice that day I highly recommend sitting outside. We were lucky enough to have a gorgeous day. I got the Baked Polenta Cake and my husband got the special omelette of the day that had sausage and veggies with potatoes. Let's take a minute for my chai tea latte though. They make their own chai tea base and when it comes out it is GORGEOUS! The edible glitter made me feel fancy. It definitely put my husband's boring coffee to shame. But, he did say the coffee was very good. Overall we would definitely come back for brunch. My husband wants to try out a happy hour as well.

Here's a review ready to paste:…read more **5 stars** I can't point to one thing that was "the best" at HarborView Bistro & Bar, because everything was. The food was exquisite -- the crab ravioli and crab cakes were phenomenal appetizers, and my entrée, a fish stuffed with crab meat, was so good I'm still thinking about it. Every dish tasted fresh, and you could tell they're using quality ingredients. The service was excellent. Everyone on staff was friendly and genuinely talkative -- they even kept us updated on the 49ers score. And the setting was something else. We ate outside under the heaters with the fog rolling in over the canal by the harbor and the seals barking in the distance. The air had that slight coastal dampness to it, and it only made the evening feel more perfect. Honestly, I can't fully explain it -- it was just the perfect night. Fresh food, great people, unbeatable atmosphere. We'll be back. Want it shorter, or a different tone?

It seemed like the whole town was closing down around 5 PM, which happened to be right when Cucina Verona was opening for dinner. We were looking for somewhere to eat and, more importantly, somewhere we could relax and unwind after a long day. The moment we walked in, you could feel the warmth of the room. Everyone was incredibly friendly and greeted us with genuine kindness. The service was wonderful, especially our server, Giovanni. He was incredibly kind, helpful, and personable. His service really matched the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the restaurant. We ordered quite a bit: Antipasti di Formaggio, Garlic Bread, a bowl of Minestrone, Wild Mushroom Risotto with added Salmon, the Surf and Turf (lobster and steak), and the Pizza la Carne, which we took home. Yes, that's a lot of food! Everything was prepared and presented beautifully, and the portions were exactly what we expected for what we ordered. More importantly, the food tasted as good as it looked--which, believe it or not, isn't always the case. My wife and I enjoy ordering a variety of dishes so we can experience different flavors throughout the meal. We usually end up taking quite a bit home because we rarely come close to finishing everything. This time, though, we ate almost everything at the table. The only exception was the pizza, which we intentionally ordered to take with us. Overall, we had a wonderful experience, and Giovanni had a lot to do with that. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was excellent, and the food was both well-presented and delicious. I don't like to focus too much on pricing because there is a lot of context that goes into how restaurants price their meals. If that's an important consideration for you, I'd recommend checking out their menu online before visiting. For us, it was a great find, and I'd definitely recommend giving Cucina Verona a visit if you're in the area!
