For me the star of the show is their coffee. It's rich, strong chocolatey. It's good I've been three times so far and have had the blueberry pancake combo with eggs and sausage. You can also get bananna nut and chocolate chip pancakes. The Combo is $15.25, a great deal for big portions. Matt says if you are near Monterey and need an amazing breakfast place, try The beach Street Cafe. Tell them MC Hammer sent you

The restaurant had such a cozy, comfortable atmosphere that made us want to stay a little longer. After eating there, I completely understand why it's my best friend's favorite breakfast spot. We'll definitely be back!

I also give her business five stars because she lets you choose how many ounces you want since you are buying from bulk. The only other store I know that sells herbs and tea in the Monterey area Gold Leaf Spice & Teas in Salinas for a comparative seller in Salinas.

We had a very good dinner at California Grill while visiting Watsonville. The restaurant has a…read morecomfortable, old-school local feel with a large bar and dining room. It isn't trying to be overly trendy or fancy, and the emphasis on local ingredients and the Pajaro Valley gives it some character. My partner had the Mediterranean pasta with grilled chicken, and our son had the steak dinner with fries and vegetables. I ordered the evening special, which was cheese tortellini with prawns in a creamy sauce. Everything was very good, and the portions were generous. They also brought bread to the table before dinner and kept us supplied during the meal. We had a bottle of Alfaro Pinot Noir with dinner. It was a good local wine and paired nicely with the meal. We also appreciated seeing local wines represented on the menu. We finished by sharing the crème brûlée. It was quite tasty and considerably larger than we expected... definitely enough to share. The service was a real highlight. Our waiter was friendly, attentive and prompt throughout the meal. Since we were visiting the area, he also took some time to share a few local tips, including where to find some particularly good sausages and meats. It was a nice personal touch and added to the experience. Overall, California Grill was a very good find in Watsonville: good food, generous portions, excellent service and a nice connection to the local agricultural community. A solid four-star experience, and somewhere we'd be happy to visit again.

I ordered the Strawberry Milk Tea, which is described on their website as: "Sweet strawberry and green tea with fresh milk makes the best sweet, creamy, and refreshing drink. Topped with strawberry popping boba." After waiting about 20 minutes for my drink, I was informed they were out of green tea and was offered mango tea as a substitute. While I appreciated being given an alternative, the final drink was nothing like what was advertised. It did not include the strawberry popping boba, and there was nothing creamy about it. The drink tasted bland, watered down, and lacked flavor. I was so disappointed with the drink that I didn't even want to try the banana bread I purchased. After a few sips, the entire purchase went straight into the trash. It's frustrating to spend money on something that doesn't come close to meeting expectations. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.

It was so much to read and the cashier was ready to take our order. She was patient and didn't rush us but it gave me zero time to really look at the menu. It was early so I wanted a breakfast sandwich or burrito. I opted for a sausage burrito after receiving the recommendation from the cashier. She also showed me the seasonal coffee offerings that she didn't show to my sister who ordered ahead of me and she was bummed because she would of preferred to get one of those drinks instead of the latte she got. I opted for the toasted coconut coffee. I paid and quickly browsed the baked goods that I could see someone starting to put up on display. The rice crispy looked delicious so we got one to share. We took a seat in the seating area. There were plenty of tables and plenty of people coming and going. Seems to be the spot for all the workers within walking distance. Our coffee orders came out a while later. The latte was your standard coffee and oat milk. The toasted coconut was a sweet blend of coffee and coconut foam. The top had toasted coconut shavings and once that mix with the coffee it's gives it's a different texture while drinking it. It was too sweet for my liking. The burritos came out after and they were piping hot. Took a while for the burrito to cool down so I ended up cutting it in half. I like that they had the grill marks on the tortilla because it gave it a nice crunch. The burrito was paired with a salsa that was not spicy and gave the entire burrito some flavor. The burrito itself is very mild in flavor. The potato's didn't taste like they had any seasoning. The sausage didn't either. The salsa helped but it wasn't very flavorful. It was a good portion because I only ate half and was full. The rice krispy treat was good and not very sweet so we took 2 more to go. The cashier was helpful and patient during my interaction with her. The space has plenty of places to sit with a group. Plenty of baked goods options. I took a photo of the menu for future visits so I can know ahead of time what I want because it was very overwhelming being next in line and pick whatever. I saw a pesto sandwich that I would have preferred getting after I sat down and read the menu. Would have been helpful to have the seasonal coffee menu in a more visible area. Water is self serve in an area where you can get straws and napkins. Ensuring it's stocked with knives and forks etc would be helpful. The coffee and food did take a while to come out so plan accordingly if you are not sitting down. Curious to return to try something else now that I read the menu.
