We were told about this place by someone at our hotel, and while the directions weren't great so I'm not actually sure this was where we were being directed, I was very happy to end up here! We had huevos rancheros in red sauce, and they were absolutely delicious. Plenty so sauce, and it was very rich. On top of that, the eggs were done perfectly, so that was nice. I had an americano which was pleasantly strong (I'm used to getting weak ones most of the time), so that was a welcome treat too. The food came with a side of fruit (cantaloupe and papaya), which was very tasty. It does feel like a gringo cafe, but overall it's well worth a visit. The interior is an odd mix of styles but it's comfortable and clean. The service was great and the food came very quickly. Highly recommended! read more

We had breakfast of bagel, but needed more cream cheese, fruit with yogurt and granola. That was very good. Lattes, cappuccino were good.

Food: I have only had their Mexican style eggs benefit which was pretty good. Drinks: Their cappuccino was a bit on the watery side but beyond that tasted fine Service: Very nice staff Atmosphere/Space: Cute packed space with some big comfy chairs and big ass tables Would come again and try other things on their menu at least read more

Great atmosphere... but a terrible breakfast. No kidding, it was like they pulled someone off the street to cook eggs bacon and toast.

Nothing very exciting here on the menu that grabbed me and said "Me.... pick me!" The service was nice, attentive. The coffee (for most of us a double cappuccino) was pretty good but the rest was ..... okay. The eggs Benedict were cooked well, though the hollandaise looked rather anemic. My omelette was fair, and at least had a little more color. My wife picked the lox, bagel and cream cheese which she said was very good, though one of the most expensive items on the menu. So, not bad. Not great. Wishing the nice piano player was a little quieter (hard to have a conversation at all with our friends). Might be a while before we stop by again. But we might. Just to try something different. read more

Excruciatingly slow service. Just about each and every time I've ever been there, which is about 5 in the past several months. The prices are more than reasonable. The menu is decent. And if you prefer mas Americano then this is the spot. However, bring your device, hook up to their wifi, and plan to wait a very long time. read more

One of our favorite places for breakfast, but in danger of losing its charm. Has always had incredible French breakfasts but most recently is also introducing Mexican options... because?? You can't go wrong with the eggs Benedict and other French options. So hoping they refocus on what made them unique and special! read more

MUY MAL! The female manager at breakfast was yelling at our poor frazzled waiter and shooting customers dirty looks. While I was watching her she grabbed two rolls out of a basket, which was heading to our table, with her bare hands and proceeded to berate our waiter about only putting one roll in. The single molested roll finally arrived with rock hard butter (and no knife provided until I stepped up to the counter). Yuck. Her nastiness didn't end there...our bill arrived after a very long period of waiting and zero requested coffee refills. The bill was very wrong and she began to argue with me and look for evidence of how many coffees we had. We paid the overcharge and just left to avoid her creating even more of a scene. The food is extremely inconsistent and not very good...often cold, improperly handled, and unsanitary. I understand the ambiance is what gets people to return, however, this place really should be avoided. So many other wonderful restaurants in SMA! Will NEVER return. read more

So we went to chill amd get some coffe and hot chocolate But overall i think its pricey and what you get is not that good. Dont order the hot chocolate it tasted like hot water with some coffe and unflavored chocolate. read more

The food here is alright. But I've been here several times now and I don't see why it's so popular. If you come for brunch you will wait at least 30 minutes to be seated. The menu is pretty limited - basically you can have eggs, pancakes, french toast, or chilaquiles, and that's about it. The real problem though is the service. Expect rushed waiters, long wait times, and something will always be forgotten. They may also bring out half the table's food 10-15 minutes before the rest is ready - not fun. San Miguel has lots of restaurants with better food, polished service and no wait for a table. For an unforgettable breakfast try Muro, or for something in the same neighborhood as Cafe Monet just stroll down Ancha de San Antonio (the big wide street out front) and take your pick. read more

This is a great place to bring someone you don't like to eat. It is also a great place to bring a girl if you want her to break up with you. Is your mother in law always butting in your relationship? Bring her here for dinner and get your revenge!!!!! I had the misfortune of eating here today. It was without a doubt, the second worst dining experience I have had, read on reader: Having already tried the two other Italian restaurants on this street (both of which delivered good Italian food), I thought I'd give Cafe Pinot a chance. My first mistake? Ignoring the worn out decor....but I thought....."hell, some of the best meals I have had were at places with terrible decor...look past it Hugo". I sat at the small bar and asked the bartender if I was on time for happy hour, "SI SEÑOR" he said. "What do you mix that's good?" I inquired. "Mojitos", he said. My second mistake? Trusting him. Dear yelp reader, at this point I must ask you: Walk to your fridge. Take out some ice cubes. Put them in a tall glass. Now go to the dried out plant that's sitting in your livingroom and get a couple of dried leaves off it and put them in the glass (who needs fresh mint?). Next, go to the pantry take three spoonfuls on brown sugar (for that Flint Michigan dirty warter look we all love) and beat the sh.. out of these ingredients with a muddler. Now, take a bottle of rum and tease your newly created mixture with it (but don't pour any rum inside). Now, fill the glass to the rim with soda water and drink it MOFO! (Now you know what I went through). My third mistake? This thought: "Look past the drink Hugo, the food will be better". I know, I know. I deserve it after this decision but stay with me reader... "I'll have the chicken piccata" I said. I ordered this because it had a side of mashed potatoes....and well, who fouls up mashed potatoes???? Well reader, these f'ers do! How???? They serve powder mashed potatoes!!!! I sh... you NOT reader. They served me powder mashed potatoes that had the consistency of sand and water. Don't make me tell you about the overcooked side of vegetables or the dried out chicken breast (I cannot be sure but I could swear that I heard the chicken breast whispering; "there is twenty five of us in the fridge....we have been held captive for 2 weeks....HELP US!). It was probably my imagination. Yes reader, at this point I had learned my lesson and asked for the check. While I waited and checked my Facebook updates I got whiff of one of those je ne sais quoi smells. Looking up, I see a waiter is walking past me. For a second I thought...."holly mother of God....what is worst, this man's BO or his haircut?" On the second breath I concluded it was definitely his BO. I paid the check and I gave them a very generous tip: shut down! read more

Wait time for a table wasn't a problem, but the host stand was a mess. It was difficult to get her attention as she assumed we were part of a larger group. Once seated the service wasn't bad but it wasn't great. The food took a very long time to arrive. The food was good not amazing but mixed with the service and experience I just wouldn't recommend it. read more

Cute little restaurant we ate breakfast one morning. Good eggs Benedict and coffee. Good service as well. Full bar

We love this place. We have been here several times since we moved here 2 weeks ago and we are returning tomorrow for brunch with some friends. The staff is very nice, service was good and the food was great at a very reasonable price. Their cappuccino is frothy and delicious and the bowl of fresh fruit with yogurt and granola is only 35 pesos! They have a grand piano that is played on Sundays at noon. Definitely a go to place for mornings. read more

This fun and slightly artsy coffee shop serves breakfast lunch and dinner. In the morning there is a special with French toast, pancakes, cinnamon roll or a couple of other items plus a cup of coffee for 50 pesos. There are other specials later in the day. Both coffee and menu items are pretty good.This is one of my favorite coffee shops. read more

With all the terrific restaurants in SMA, I'd suggest you give this one a pass. We are here our very first day and soon discovered that the food was over priced and, frankly, not very good. read more

Updated - we were 'forced' to revisit Cafe Monet because an early breakfast was necessary (and most places are closed before 8 am). Second time was no charm -- although fairly empty, service was atrocious -- akin to a group of stoned college kids attempting to run a restaurant on their first day -- muddled, delayed orders, incorrect items on our bill (which they argued over -- resulting in a zero-tip compromise), all of which took forever. As our terrible experience unfolded, we noticed other customers suffering a similar, rotten experience. read more

Had a nice breakfast Sunday morning while waiting for church services. My landlady had recommended the spot nearby. It was a long wait to get seated and had to share a table, but had friendly table mates. Service was very slow, but food was very good. I will return despite the problems, as the prices were very reasonable and the food was good. read more

We had breakfast here. Eggs a la mexicana con machaca de res. I thought the food was good. Flour tortillas are on point. The place is busy for a Tuesday morning, but a lot of places are not open either. I'll admit, as an American, I'm more concerned about eating food that doesn't affect my stomach. Some places in this area are a little more sketch. This one has tasty food without any consequences. read more

I found this little place while walking around this lovely town. We had a great dinner with no waiting line, we had pasta and salads. Great margaritas and a decent choice of wine. I had the special cheese ravioli and my husband had the alfredo lasagna. We were happy with the service and the food quality at reasonable prices. It seems a little gem for the locals from abroad. read more

We had fruit with yogurt and granola, chilaquiles, and an omelette. Everything was fresh and light. We said many times during our meal that the food was absolutely delicious. We wanted more! The service was great as well. I strongly recommend coming here for breakfast. I can only imagine how good the cinnamon rolls are! read more

I remember this spot from 2013, it was better then..I've been twice this trip, weak service..cold hash browns, there are so many new places along the Anche, I will move along! read more

This is one of my favorite breakfast places. Breakfast is about half the price of many of the other joints around, and they make nice scrambled eggs and omelettes and other dishes. I had a beef arrachera there yesterday - I always ask for their homemade salsas and am never disappointed. I have never had a big problem with the service - sometimes they are a little slow to get an order, but the food always comes reasonably quickly. read more

Met up with friends for breakfast before heading out to Escondido hot springs. We chose this place because it opened at 7:30am (early for SMA) and was convenient to both of us. The service was fairly quick. I had a french press, something I hadn't had since traveling. We both ordered an omelette and frankly it was pretty meh. There was no flavor - no herbs, just plain eggs that I question whether they even salted the. I got cheese, bacon and mushrooms - the bacon was the only ingredient with flavor (go bacon). The mushrooms were a huge disappointment - again zero spicing. And there was almost no cheese, which was disappointing because I like a cheesy omelette and because I paid per ingredient. I dumped a bunch of salsa and salt on it, which made it tolerable, but really for a "french" style restaurant, I expected some more sophisticated flavors. I would recommend it for perhaps the morning special, which as a coffee and one of 6-7 lighterdishes (bread, porridge, fruit and yogurt, etc) read more
