I hadn't been to Celia's since the new owners took over, and was so pleasantly surprised this morning! Allison was our server, and even though both inside and out were full and there was a wait list she took great care of us. She was warm and very attentive. The Chile Verde omelet was delicious, can't recommend highly enough! but all of the small details were clearly attended to as well: coffee was good, the side of fruit had ripe, sweet cantaloupe, strawberries and banana and everyone was friendly. food and service were both fast. I will definitely be back! read more

The Chile Verde Omelette my sister ordered was easily the star of the meal 10/10! I instantly regretted not ordering it myself. The meat was incredibly juicy and flavorful, and honestly one of the best omelettes I've tasted. The steak and eggs were unfortunately a miss for me. The steak was a little dry and lacked flavor, but the super crispy potatoes definitely helped make up for it. The Cinnamon French Toast was good, just not as unique or homemade-tasting as I expected, still a solid 8/10. The hot chocolate was another 10/10 So delicious! The cafe itself is such a cute little spot with an outdoorsy, relaxed vibe and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Perfect for sitting around, chitchatting, and enjoying a meal. Overall, I'd definitely come back and explore more of the menu. read more

4 stars because the 'garden' was very underwhelming. This word should be removed from the business name because it doesn't describe the cafe. The 'garden' is just standard shrubs and bushes... nothing spectacular in the guest seating areas. Bathrooms (gender neutral) - The one I used had no paper towels, a bad smell (it happens), and didn't seem clean. I later used a different one (no sign on door). It was well stocked and clean. Server was the best part of the experience - Allison!! Thank you for letting me enjoy my book & solitude while I enjoyed a yummy plate of blintzes!! Great customer service & kept my decaf (with real milk) filled. Restaurant had steady flow of diners, but only one server. Tips are better this way, but it meant she had to hustle. Patio has nice umbrellas to filter out the bright sun. It was almost 100F by noon! Plenty of indoor seating, too. The downside to the outdoor seating is the traffic noise. The plants & shrubs worked hard to lessen the sound, but the did a great job of giving the space a more intimate feel. Lots of parking onsite, across the street, and on the street. Looks like there's a garden shop next to the restaurant, but plants looked sparse there too. I drove 2.5 hours just to have breakfast here, so I was slightly disappointed by the lack of 'garden'. read more

Our first visit here was not great. The ambiance of Celia's is really nice - I liked the architecture of the building and the decor, and the patio looked really comfortable. Unfortunately there were no patio tables available so we sat at a table just inside. The service was pretty good, with the exception of the busser forgetting our drinks. We had to ask for them again when the food came out. I got the carnitas melt with frings. The onion rings were great, however the fries could have used another minute in the oil. The sandwich was fairly tasty, however it was like the bread was grilled without butter. It just didn't get very toasty, and the bottom became soggy quickly. My wife's southern benedict was good, but the eggs seemed to have been cooked over medium. There wasn't much runny yolk at all. I was picking at my plate, and I picked up what I assumed was a piece of carnitas that had fallen out of my sandwich. Nope, it was tuna. Somehow, tuna ended up on my plate, I'm assuming from a tuna melt that was being prepared nearby. I can't stand tuna so this kind of grossed me out. I will probably give them another shot as it is a nice, relaxing place to go for breakfast, but things could have been a whole lot better. read more

My daughter had the Belgian waffle, which she said was absolutely delicious. I had the vegetarian omelet which was also delicious! A dollop of garlic herb goat cheese on the top which leveled up the taste factor by ten. The service was great; quick and friendly. We sat outside on their patio which was delightful on a June Sunday. Will be going back tomorrow! read more

We wanted a late breakfast so we went to Celias's Garden Cafe. The food was amazing. I had the Crab Benedict with tomatoes, black coffee and orange juice. It was one of the best Benedict's I have ever had. The hollandaise sauce was perfection. The coffee was on point! And the fresh squeezed orange juice reminded me of my childhood. But the best part of all was our service Allison was amazing. She noticed our table was not being taken care of so she stepped in and made this breakfast an amazing experience. To get more context on this I can say we were first presented with a woman who yelled "How many?" At the top of her lungs. It was aggressive with a very familiar undertone that I am not fond of. I yelled back "four!" Just in case she has a hearing issue I wanted to accommodate her. She then proceeded to ignore us after we were seated. But Allison saved the day. Thank you Allison for being so kind, sincere and loving. For seeing human beings and not stereotypes. We are people and we deserve to be treated as such, according to our actions and not our appearance. Also, the place was nice too. read more

We saw this cafe while driving through Los Osos and stopped for a late lunch. Nice patio! We were welcomed and seated outside on their patio. Garden plants in bloom welcomed us wholeheartedly, along with happy birds and bees. Service was friendly and efficient. My husband had a turkey club with an upsell of onion rings. His sandwich was delicious. Fresh crisp lettuce and veggies, thick slabs of bacon, and turkey. The bread was thick and seemed homemade. Onion rings came out nice and hot. My husband loved all of the sauces. I ordered the Brassica Crunch salad. Every ingredient was fresh and well prepared. It was nice to find a salad that was not from the regular salad templates that are on every menu. Loved the crunchies on it, mixed greens, broccoli, and cauliflower. The dollop of chevre in the middle was great for spreading on the cheese toast that accompanied the salad. Every bit about our meal at Celias' Garden Cafe was rewarding. So much heart there. Go if you haven't yet. Also looks like it is a lot of fun at night with cornhole, connect four, and live music too. read more

Stopped by Celia's Garden Café for breakfast during our weekend trip and it was a nice, low-key local spot to start the day. It's located in Los Osos with its own parking lot and a cute garden area for outdoor seating -- very homey and peaceful atmosphere. The staff were super friendly and attentive, coming by often to refill water and coffee, which I really appreciated. We ordered the breakfast burrito, egg benedicts, and blintzes. The portions were pretty generous and everything tasted fresh. The fresh-squeezed orange juice was especially good -- definitely worth ordering if you come by. Overall, the food was solid and satisfying, though I'd say it's more of a classic American breakfast spot rather than anything particularly unique or standout. Still, a great option if you're looking for a relaxed local café with good service and a cozy outdoor setting. read more

This place is hit or miss depending on what you ordered. We tried it for the first time and everything was great, homemade English muffins and amazing corned beef hash. We went back the very next day and my husband was smart, he got the same thing. I however decided on the pancakes, eggs and country sausage. Big mistake, I have never had pancakes where it was a necessity to use a knife to cut them. They tasted ok but really tough and chewy. The sausage was just one tiny uncooked patty. Sooooooooo go for the corned beef, avoid the pancakes. I'm still confused, like who messes up pancakes? read more

I have eaten at Celia's on and off for several years and the food is comforting and tasty. There is indoor or outdoor seating and the patio is dog friendly. On this recent visit for breakfast, we were seated at a comfy little table by a side door during the breakfast. I'm not certain if this was the reason, but our service was not as attentive as it could have been. Our are server was friendly, but I had to get up and go to the front counter to request items several times. We ordered the waffle and corned beef hash and eggs. Both were very good. The waffle was served with fresh berries and the corned beef hash was their own creation. All in all, Celia's is a cute little spot with good food. It's worth a stop. read more

Celia's has changed ownership. Their staff is always friendly and the pleasant atmosphere remains. The menu has changed and has been diminished a bit. For example, there were seven Benedict selections, and now just four; soda is served by the can, so no refills. The portions seemed to have been downsized as well, as today's our Crab Cake Benedict were smaller than before, along with a minute amount of Hollandaise sauce. Cottage cheese was chosen in lieu of potatoes for fewer carbs. I received an extremely small amount in a small ramekin cup. Although we were seated promptly as usual, it took some time to receive menus and to order. Our table was a bit sticky and had drink rings -- we were offered a wet cloth to clean it ourselves. read more

Food is good, definitely fresh! Omelets were yum, and veggie burger was good too! Service is very quick, staff is helpful and very accommodating. It's definitely a cute little restaurant with nice places to sit. Only downside is that they used to have bigger portions but now they are definitely on the smaller side. read more

What an improvement! We live in Los Osos and hadn't been going here as it used to be a bastion of mediocrity with silly prices. With the new ownership the food has gotten a much-needed overhaul. The menu still has some of the old favorites (like blintzes). The dishes we ordered today were a huge improvement. The Simple Greens salad $10 (add chicken $4) was a fresh and plentiful mix of salad greens, carrot, cucumber, and ripe grape tomatoes. The chicken was sliced, grilled skinless chicken breast that could use more flavor and a little less grill time. The herb vinaigrette was delicious and very cilantro-forward. Garlicky cheese toast was yummy. The corned beef hash ($18) was the star! A bit non traditional - in an awesome way- it was pulled corned beef that was perfectly seasoned and juicy, mixed with roasted, chopped new potatoes and onions. Eggs over medium were fresh and well cooked. The sourdough English muffin was also a star, made in a local SLO bakery. Great drip coffee ($3.65 with refills) from SLO Roasted in Los Osos. Server service was the basics and our busser was a champion. Garden looked well kept and saw they are doing an arts & music event there on Friday and Saturday evenings. Way to go, new owners! We're so glad you're here! read more

Held a celebration of life lunch at Celia's. When we arrived they had a nice intimate setting for our party of 20. The food was so good, highly recommend the quiche. I don't think we could have had better service. So attentive, several servers asking about our needs. We loved their bar options. The grounds are really fun, gardens, trees, quiet area. We aren't from the area so wasn't sure about our choice. So glad we chose this restaurant for our special day read more

If I can, I go to breakfast at Celia's after I get a hair cut. I love their breakfast, coffee and the best wheat toast. Today, as usual I had a scramble with chicken sausage, mushrooms and snow peas, a great combination. My husband had the chili verde and potatoes. Usually I share the potatoes but I ate everything and was too full. I opted for fruit instead of potatoes. Coffee is great and they have raw sugar, which I prefer. The servers are nice and friendly, some have been there for quite a few years. They had some great looking cookies, maybe next time, I'll get a couple. Sometimes when it's crowded you have to park on the street. They have a nice patio for eating, both front and back as well as inside. Bathrooms are outside and there are two of them. read more

A hearty lunch spot on the patio! My friends favorite dish is the tuna melt, which arrives on delicious fresh marbled rye (with the perfect hint of caraway), caramelized onions, and moist tuna salad. I had a hard time choosing from the extensive menu (sweet or savory?) when I spotted a "lighter fare" menu that offered a half portion of the French toast with two slices of bacon. The "half portion" mean two thick slices cut into four triangles which was plenty of food, along with the protein bacon. The bread base of the French toast was a strong cinnamon swirl bread which enfused the resulting eggy concoction with flavor! Logistics: - indoor and outdoor seating - small parking lot in pack and plenty of street parking available to the side - vegetarian options read more

Have driven by this restaurant forever, finally decided it was time to try it out. Ordered a cheeseburger and subbed romaine instead of spring mix. Would have ordered a side salad but they only had spring mix option. Came with fries. Sodas only came in cans, so opted for water to drink. Burger nice and medium rare, yummy. Fries, however, were too seasoned and peppery and soft. The water was in a tiny glass and they were so slow to refill. I finally had to get up and fill my own water!! They only gave me one napkin until I took a couple more on my own. I noticed that they hadn't tidied up the creamer bowl, still trash from previous guest. I chose to sit on the LOVR garden because it was too sunny in the back garden. Lovely setting, though. The server never came back until she gave me the bill. Good burger but not worth the rest of the negatives. Won't be back, sorry. read more

Celia's Garden Café - Cheeseburger & fries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Osos, California

Great little place! We stopped in for lunch and were immediately greeted and told we could sit anywhere. We chose the outside garden and very quickly had iced teas and menus in hand. Breakfast options look amazing, but the tuna melt and carnitas melt caught our eyes. I opted for a side salad and herb vinaigrette dressing with my tuna melt. The whole wheat bread was perfectly toasted, nice and thick sliced. The salad took up a full half of the plate and the dressing was a nice touch of herbs. Oh! They add snow peas to the salad! Such a nice taste surprise. The carnitas melt had nice big pieces of meat and avocado slices. Again, on thick cut bread perfectly toasted. The fries are tasty and plentiful, taking up half the plate. Throughout the meal, we were offered refills. A nice touch. read more

I don't usually go out of my way to write reviews, but this was genuinely the worst service I've ever experienced. To start, my spanish speaking friend overheard a busboy calling us ugly and saying insults about us. On top of that, it took around an hour and fifteen minutes for our food to arrive. Also my food specifically came out 10 minutes later than everyone else and they basically finished their food before mine came out. Our server rarely checked on us, and when we asked the busgirl about the delay, she responded rudely, said she would check, and then never followed up. We watched her not even attempt to do so. When the food finally came, my friend found huge eggshell chunks in her meal. While they did comp her dish, the only additional gesture was removing our coffees from the bill, which didn't feel like enough. read more

A new friend recommended and took me to this place and it was great. I love brunch and hadn't explored any places in Los Osos yet so coming here for breakfast was a treat. . The venue has a remodeled barn style with red wood making the structure stand out on a bustling main road. It was fairly busy in the café with glorious weather the summer day we dined there and thus the patio was full and we were seated inside. The menu had typical breakfast fan fare and reads more like an upscale diner. I ordered a mimosa with one of their Benedict's and my comrade got the pancakes. . The plates were rich and the portions large enough for two sittings. Hands-down, some of the best café/diner food that I've had the pleasure to eat. I can tell this place is very popular among locals and regulars alike. Definitely food-coma inducing dishes. . For all the passerby of the northern central coast, Celia's Garden Café will satisfy all your brunch needs . read more

First of all, I admit I didn't get the waitperson's names. Two stars because the young man who greeted us was very attentive and polite. Got us menus and OJ right away and tried to help us when the order was wrong. Otherwise, we requested well done on potatoes and each had Benedicts. When we got them, the potatoes were pale and cold and the eggs were overcooked. We asked for the order to be fixed and the waitress was quick to blame the cook. She brought us the replacements and my husband's was fine, they were both hot, but my egg was raw inside! No more complaints but done eating there. Los Osos is so short on restaurants, I wish Celia's was better. The food's only fair, it's understaffed and the waitstaff in general lacks talent. read more

Saturday morning brunch, and lots of people dining, yet... Easy parking, quick seating, instant drink order, quick order taken by pleasant and efficient staff, and quick kitchen turned out food that was tasty, fresh, prepared as asked. This is classic American breakfast well executed. But what's even more exciting is what they have planned for the surrounding, formerly unused space. Outdoor picnic style seating, day time hang out spaces, and hopefully drinks, live music, and evening activities soon. This place is cleaned up, looking sharp, and investing in tasteful changes, while maintaining the tasty menu and professional service it already had going for it. I am looking forward to our next visit. read more
