Great breakfast location, opens early, and the food selection is excellent. The pancakes are huge, and the huevos rancheros are outstanding. The staff was super friendly, even at 6:30 a.m.! We will definitely come back. read more

Really like this little restaurant. We had breakfast there the last two mornings. Great food, excellent cheerful service, nice outdoor dining area on Orange Avenue. read more

pretty happy that i was turned away from toms lighthouse and found this little place! its so quaint, has delicious food and the service is very friendly. they even make their own jam. PLUS JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE ATE HERE! there is a picture to prove it, haha. try: the mimosa (beautifully presented and very refreshing) and the crab benedict. read more

Had the crab Benedict and huevos rancheros (the beans were excellent). Both were delicious. I would recommend it for for breakfast. The place is small so seating is limited. read more

Friendly/attentive staff, great food: juevos rancheros was great/ best hollandaise sauce in SoCal. A new favorite on my Monday home beautiful coronado island. read more

This place is little bit don't judge. Awesome breakfast, crab cake Benedict is amazing.. I will definitely come back..

They were just ok, my sister had the lemon poppyseed pancakes and I had the ricotta waffles. The whipped cream was non dairy from a can and took away from the food. It would have been easy and made the food so much better had the whipped cream been made from actual dairy, or even made fresh (which is easy and cheap to do). The strawberries were also way way way too sweet, and I felt like it took away from the food. The hash browns I had were extremely greasy, and the bacon was I think microwaved. The food over all like I said was ok, but not amazing. Small changes that are fairly easy to do would make the food much much better. The service was nice, although when we walked in one of the servers made us walk all the way around to the front to come back in which was a door 10 feet from the other one, which was a bit ridiculous. read more

Very quaint! Patio is tucked away for that true bistro feel. Menu items look good.

Simply excellent. Calamari relleno and fish tacos were so tasty.

Yummy crab eggs Benedict. Intimate setting. Good service.

Food was ok, nothing special but no complaints. Had the crab Benedict, tasted more like fish than crab, but still good flavor. Service was slow, even to get waters while we waited to give our orders. They got the orders right but not for the right people. Had to spend a couple of minutes switching plates. read more

My favorite place for brunch on the island. If you want something sweet, they have very unique fruit waffles and french toast. Lemon seed pancakes, sauteed peach french toast, etc... yum yum yum. Great omlettes and daily specials as well. Prepare to wait awhile on the weekends- Crown Bistro is super popular. But it's worth it!! read more

Please bring back old staff, service today was horrible, had to wait 1hr to get seated and served on an nearly empty restaurant

The jelly on the table is the shining star. Food is good but standard breakfast food.

Perfect breakfast spot. Excellent omelet and strawberry waffles. The strawberry preserves were delicious as well. The staff was very friendly. Here for vacation but would come back again! The coffee is good and piping hot. read more

What a great little brunch spot! Stopped in on a Saturday in the late morning and had an amazing breakfast. The patio is so relaxing and beautiful and they have a little fountain and garden surrounding it. I ordered a veggie omlete and it was delicious! The service was great and I would certainly come back whenever I am on the island again. read more

Good food, good service and the location is great. We had a late lunch today and we had to wait 2 min and they where ready. I would recommend the place. read more

Awesome food, good service and a quaint and classy atmosphere! Go, you won't regret it :)

I don't have any complaints about Crown Bistro. Our waiter was very friendly and he came by our table many times to check on us and refill our coffees and waters. My husband got the peach French toast, I got the eggs Benedict, while our daughter got a pancake. All of it was delicious! read more

On a beautiful morning in Coronado I took my lovely and charming wife to the Crown Bistro. It is a very small restaurant attached to the hotel so seating is at a premium. In spite of that we were able to be seated immediately when we arrived. The host was very friendly and our drink order arrived promptly. Not long after we were ready to order. My wife ordered the eggs Benedict and I ordered the Crown Special which is two eggs, hash browns, sausage and toast. Our order arrived promptly and was correct as ordered. Our water and coffee was never not filled by our attentive waiter. The eggs Benedict were good, but nothing special. I concur with her recommendation because as I always do I sampled then relentlessly. She did not like the hash brown potatoes. The Crown Special was good, but not memorable. The sausage was good and it was best part of breakfast other than having a nice conversation with my breakfast companion. The portion size was very good and the service was excellent. I am glad we gave Crown Bistro a try and we will give it another shot possibly for lunch. Not a bad experience at all, but there are better places in town for breakfast. read more

Crown Bistro - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Coronado, California

See all

This is the absolute best breakfast place! My girlfriend and I go here all the time. She loves the artichoke joes and I love the eggs Benedict. I swear they should rename the eggs benedict after me. The service is awesome and attentive, Bella and Laura make you feel right at home. Chef jerry throws down in the kitchen. Even the most basic breakfast items taste AMAZING. This family owned business is the jewel of Coronado. Don't forget to get a few mimosa sunrises while you enjoy breakfast. Once again this a MUST VISIT BREAKFAST SPOT. ASK FOR BELLA OR LAURA. YOU WON'T REGRET IT! read more

The taste of food was good, but the waiters were bad

Terrible service! Don't bother wasting your money or time. The food is ok not worth the wait or the money. Rude incompetent servers. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE! I read more

Sorry folks I usually post a picture with my review. But the food appeared and greedy me dug right in. So that being said, you now know I was extremely satisfied with the food, the portion size and the service. Being a breakfast girl I had the single pancake corned beef hash and egg. My hubby had the strawberry banana waffle. Everything was excellent. The food was delivered quickly. The service was on point. So if you want good food and great service eat here! read more

Decided on the Crown Bistro for brunch with three girlfriends. We arrived at 10:30 on a Saturday to a bit of a crowd. We were told the wait would be 20 minutes. Pleasantly surprised with the short wait, we sat on the lawn planning to enjoy the sunshine. It was made clear after about 10 minutes that their system of seating and timing was off. But because we were on vacation we weren't too put off by waiting a few more minutes. It was NOT a few more minutes. We were seated 55 MINUTES AFTER ARRIVING and then jammed in to a table for three that had been vacant for at least 15 minutes. One positive is that our food arrived very quickly. However, my friend's hashbrowns were not extra crispy as ordered and my toast was basically burnt. My friend kept her hashbrowns and my toast was turned around quickly. The food was good but most certainly not great nor worth an unexpected hour wait. read more

Have been for brunch many times and have always loved it. Steak &eggs are wonderful and have never had a bad special from their chalkboard menu. The jam on each table is something I find myself thinking about during the week, it is that good. Get there early and sit outside. read more

They were out of steak which was a bummer ( my boyfriend really wanted steak and eggs) but instead he ordered the Very Berry french toast. He said it was very delicious. I ordered the crab eggs benedict and it was also very good. The service was good as well, but the space was smaller than I expected. Mirrors all around you, which makes it easy to creep :] on other peoples food (we saw a huge stack of pancakes with whipped cream, we were envious) Overall, cute little place with good food. read more

Good service, great food, although the dining space was nothing special. This restaurant is attached and affiliated with a hotel, so this is just something to keep in mind. read more

The breakfast was delicious. I had an artichoke omelette. It melted in my mouth. The pancakes were nice and fluffy. The jam was wonderful. My family enjoyed every bite of their breakfast. We will definitely be coming back. It was a wonderful surprise for my family! read more

Crown Bistro is a cute little restaurant attached to a hotel with several delicious offerings for breakfast. Its a nice, quiet breakfast-y (?) atmosphere, the service is friendly and quick to fill up your coffee to the brim. Food: -Eggs Benedict: Delicious, easy to eat, not too heavy, -Waffles: If you're in the mood for waffles, Crown has you covered, I recommend the Banana Walnut, Omelets- They're good, if they have a special concerning an omelet, consider that before the menu. Overall very good dining experience, I would recommend a stop there if you're looking for something tasty without getting too full. read more

This is a quaint place with delicious food. We ordered off their secondary menu of daily specials and were not dissapointed. The reason for 4 stars is the service. The staff is very friendly and welcoming but the restaurant is in need a of hostess to handle all the incoming traffic so the servers can focus on their tables. read more

I had brunch here this morning after hearing great things from my landlady and seeing all the great reviews online. I ordered the chorizo and eggs which was...ok. Definitely not worth the $16 menu price. The taste of the chorizo was decent, it came with what I think was supposed to be a salsa, it just tasted sour. It also came with a side of refried beans, which I'm positive was just a slightly heated up can of rosaritas. Come on, guys. The service was GREAT and the waiters were very nice and attentive. If you want to get what you pay for in food this might not be the place, though. read more

Literally the best breakfast I have had in a long time. Amazing fresh ingredients. Perfectly cooked!

It's hard writing this review, not because the food is amazing, the owner and the employees are friendly, but because this is the best kept secret in Coronado. If you truly want to know the best place in Coronado for genuine, great tasting food this is the spot for you. If you do make the right decision and chose to stop by, make sure to say hi to Jerry the owner. You'll be impressed!! read more

Very small restaurant but was busy. The food wasn't bad, but if you value time I wouldn't recommend this place. Took almost 20 minutes to order our food, and close to 30 before it was delivered. Breakfast food doesn't usually take a long time to cook. I also noticed that it helps to know the staff personally. There was a group there that was obviously friends with the waitress. She spent a lot of time at their table making sure everything was right and chatting and barely checked in on us at all. The food wasn't enough to make up for the service. Wouldn't recommend this place or come back except to buy a jar of delicious homemade strawberry jam. That stuff is the real deal. read more

This restaurant was such a great find. It is very small and intimate very much like a small French cafe. The food was all so delicious. The onion soup had a very delicate flavor and was not heavy. My wife had the clam chowder which was some of the best we've had. I had the duck l'orange and my wife had the filet. All of it cooked to perfection. By the way, the bread is baked fresh, soft inside with a crunchy crust. Definitely coming back. read more

Omelette was a bit overcooked but the French toast was very good. Waitress seemed a bit overwhelmed with a party of 8 and forgot coffee for 1 of our guests and one of the orders. Issue was corrected with no problems though. Just a heads up.... 8 people and they tack on an automatic 20%. Didn't realize the standard 15% was not good enough for average service. read more

This charming and delightful Bistro in the heart of Coronado is hidden jewel of a restaurant for breakfast. Welcoming space (inside & out), Great Service (Edgar) and a breakfast to rave about. Chef Jerry Tovar clearly knows his trade well! Consider a breakfast appetizer for the table in the Very Berry French Toast! OMG, the several flavors of homemade fruit compote and fresh whipped cream will prepare your palate for a wonderful breakfast. read more

Based on the very decent Yelp reviews, I thought this a good Mother's Day spot, out of the way, intimate. It turned out to be OK, not so great. I was informed when I called for reservations, they don't accept less than six, we were four. Ok, expected a wait. Was told the wait was 45 and turned out to be 1 1/4. The order was taken quickly from the menu put together for the day only. The food was fine, nothing spectacular but we were hungry and it hit the spot. The mimosa was visually pretty but not much champagne. Our waiter came back once and we ordered another round and that never came, nor did he. A side order of toast never showed up either. We waited and waited for the bill, finally, all but one of our party walked out and finally the bill was delivered when he saw us leaving. We left no tip. Frankly, there are other places where the service is much better and the food as good on Cornado. read more
