    A perfect brunch spot to go to before shopping or if you're in the area. The place offers indoor seating and patio seating with ceiling fans. The server was friendly and polite. The food was amazing, the chilaquiles (beef and chicken with red sauce) were absolutely amazing! The Big A** Breakfast Sandwich was huge we didn't even get a change to finish half of it. The drinks were great, I didn't get a chance to take a picture of the frozen drinks but there were so refreshing and you could customize the drinks with flavor and if you prefer your chose of alcohol or non alcohol. I will def be back.

    Went here for brunch with some friends and had a great time. This spot is pretty crowded on the weekends so def make sure to get there a bit early. We got the bottomless mimosas and they were delicious! They had a good variety of juice options to choose from and were very quick with refills. The staff were very friendly as well. They don't have too many vegetarian options, but the pancakes and waffles are soo good. A great spot for a girls brunch, and we would def come back!

    Visited Monicas on a Sunday for brunch & were not aware of the farmers market, which didn't help with how busy this place got at that time. We arrived at 12:11pm & got seated at 1pm do an FYI for anyone visiting this location on a Sunday. Besides that our server was on it, very attentive, she took our order right away since we knew what we wanted already! She checked in on us frequently despite how busy it was. Our iced coffees were good & our foods were also very delicious. We all were satisfied with the service & food!

    Huevos Rancheros
    Nancy L.

    I was looking for a nice brunch place to try in the area and this place hit the spot! It had a cute ambience outside so I def recommend dining there. The service was great and attentive. I got the huevos rancheros. The huevos rancheros had such a big portion and was super filling. The chicken was juicy, there were 4 eggs and a lot of bean sauce to ring it in! It went well with the tapatio too. I loved the fresh pico de gallo on the side. I had some leftovers to bring home. This would be a nice spot for some mimosas next time :)

    Great crab benedict.

    We were visiting Livermore and found this little gem. We really enjoyed our brunch which was crab Benedict and Denver omlette.

    Outside seating

    From the second we walked into Monica's, we were treated like royalty. Bella at the host stand gave us a warm, polite, and immediate greeting that set a great tone for the whole meal. Shortly after, Sergio brought our drinks out from behind the bar--he was fantastic and made sure we were taken care of right out of the gate. Pro tip: you have to try the fresh-squeezed orange juice, it's amazing! Our server, Miguel, truly put the experience over the top. He knew the menu inside and out and gave us incredible recommendations that hit the mark. The hospitality here is standard-setting for Livermore. Huge shoutout to Bella, Sergio, and Miguel for making our visit so memorable. We'll definitely be back soon!

    Toasted Marshmallow Latte
    Carolina L.

    This place has amazing service and a great variety of food and drinks. The bar area looks awesome. Was not to fond of the chicken fried steak, but the rest of my food especially the lemon ricotta pancakes were especially delicious. Loved the house jam! Will take us a bit to comeback due proximity, but will definitely be back for more of that delicious toasted marshmallow latte.

    Excellent chilaquiles. Must add chorizo with an over medium egg. The perfectly ripen avocado. The crème fraiche. The sweet red onions and green sauce l. Every bite came together to a perfect bite. Every time. Then the lemon ricotta pancakes. Wow. Just WOW. Four fluffy thick slices of pancakes made with buttermilk. The lemon curd is to die for, like a lemon bar filling. There was a lot to stuff in my mouth so sharing this with another dish with 2 - 3 people is recommended...unless you're hungry hungry. I don't know why I don't come here more often. This will be my New Year's resolution for 2026.

    French Dip
    Whitney T.

    Had brunch here on a Sunday, put my name down for a 45 min wait and walked around the farmers market! Got the huevos ranchero with poached eggs and medium rare steak, a marshmello latte, and my bf got the french dip. We also got french toast to share. The huevos ranchero was delicious! The steak added on was worth it for the amount you get! The steak was perfectly done at medium rare! I really loved the poached eggs! Everything was saucy and delicious. I wish I ate this dish fast enough because the tostada was no longer crunchy in the end! We got the french toast dish to share and it was also lovely! I love a sweet brunch so I had no complaints about this! The marshmello latte was also perfect paired with this brunch! My bf loved his french dip. I don't remember how it tasted so I can't say much about this. Really great place for brunch. Loved the huge covered outdoor seating area with heat lamps! Also very dog friendly! Definitely would come back again and try more drinks next time!

    Classic hearty and tasty American diner style breakfast! Huge servings and delicious coffee! Great seating space and ambiance both indoors and on the outside patio! Great place for a weekend brunch with friends and family!

    I ordered for pickup and when I got home, they didn't put the lid on the maple syrup so it got all over the egg whites and grilled chicken. Also I asked for ranch and barbecue sauce for my son's chicken strips with fries, they forgot to put any sides of sauce. The young employees at the front need to work on standard greeting for a food establishment. Blank stares as soon as I walk in followed by me saying good morning isn't welcoming at all. We usually enjoy Monica's but the lack of attention to small details ruined 2 of our meals. Very unfortunate.

    My family and I visited Monica's on a Sunday during lunch with a party of six (2 adults and 4 kids). It wasn't very crowded, but we still waited about 20 minutes to be seated. To make matters worse, they were out of chicken tenders something we were counting on with kids in our group so that was already a bit disappointing from the start. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill from there. Our food took over an hour to arrive. When it finally came out, the burger was both cold and not at all cooked. After taking a bite, he initially thought the texture was from the lettuce, but quickly realized the center of the Beyond Burger was still frozen. We waited another 20 minutes hoping the issue would be resolved, but by then he had completely lost his appetite. In the end, we paid and left without finishing the meal. Overall, the long wait times, limited menu availability, and poor food quality made for a very disappointing experience especially with kids. I was really hoping for better.

    Toasted marshmallow latte
    Eric B.

    Nothing special. I had the, toasted marshmallow latte, tasted more like whole milk than a latte and it was too sweet. I also got the griddle combo, substituted for lemon ricotta pancakes. The pancakes were good, very sweet with the ricotta sauce. A big recommendation. The chicken Apple sausage and bacon was average. The over medium eggs were more over easy and the yolk got on my pancakes. Service was great. The lady was attentive. Ambiance is like an old wooden cabin. Limited indoor seating but out door covered seating there was lots of and heat lamps. I won't be back.

    Are there gluten free options?

    They make there bread from scratch and have gluten free bread options as well.

    Are you reopen for indoor dining?

    Yes, they have indoor dining open now.

    Can your establishment consider adding vegetarian gravy to the menu as an option for biscuits and gravy 😋?? I know it's not on the menu, but it doesn't hurt to ask, I'm sure…

    I'm sorry and I feel bad for those with medical issues and allergies. What's the point was my first thought? My daughter had to remove gluten and oh my goodness. I changes our whole eating habits. It was so expensive for the GF items.

    Is there outdoor dining here?

    Yes! Cute shaded patio area that even has live music sometimes!

    Is there bottomless mimosas during the week?

    Yes 🥂🍾

    Will you start having all day hours?

    Do you only have bottomless mimosas on sundays? Or is it Saturday as well.

    Do they have vegan gluten free option?

    Yes

    Is the phone number on file accurate? I have called multiple times and I can't seem to get through to anyone.

    I tried as well had same issue I ended up Reserving a table Under open table on internet

    Hoping once you are established that restaurant will open before 8:00am?

    Monica did mention once the soft opening is complete they will be opening earlier.

    Do they do takeout yet? Better than standing in long lines.

    Yes they do! I've done it and so have loads of my friends. And the omelets reheat perfectly!

    When does breakfast stop?

    Hi! We serve the full menu all day!

    What are the weekend hours? Their website, menu, and restaurant does not say. Yelp says they are open until 10 pm on Saturday, but we were turned away before 2:00?

    Right now they only serve till 3 pm. I'm not sure what time they open- I think 8 am. They've only been open a few days. I was there on Saturday and I saw a few people not getting seats after 2. They were 45 min behind in the kitchen.

We sat in the outdoor patio which was perfect as the summer heat was dying down. They also had blankets at the outdoor tables which was a nice touch. We started with the oysters and the Korean melon and cucumber salad. The oyster was light and fresh, and I've never had it paired with a salsa like that before. It didn't really feel like a cohesive bite with the oyster. The melon and cucumber salad had a nice sesame dressing that balanced out the sweet and crunchy bites. I'd skip both of these next time. For our mains we split the radiatori pasta and the steak. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauce tasted more like butternut squash instead of sweet corn and tomatoes. It was still good but not quite what we were expecting. The steak was perfectly cooked medium rare and the mashed potatoes and herb butter were the ideal pairings. For our sweet treat, we split the milk and honey, which was a vanilla ice cream topped with honeycomb. This was SOOO good and maybe the best part of dinner. Overall, service was attentive and friendly, the outdoor patio was really nice in the cool summer breeze, and food was pretty good. A bit on the pricey side but I love spending time with my girls with yummy food and drink so it's worth it to me!

The pancakes didn't come with butter but we didn't feel like getting up again to request it ( no server stopped by to check on the outdoor tables). I won't be back, unfortunately.
