    Always excellent service. Food is always delicious. Great variety and selection. Spacious enough for any occasion. Love this place! I come back all the time.

    Love that there is a parking lot behind the restaurant. Found handicapped parking near the door. Short walk to the restaurant. Dining room was about 1/3 full which is petfect for me. The decor had lots of pictures of old San Pedro mixed with a nautical theme. The music was classic rock which I really like. I chose the barbecue Tri-tip wagyu with fries without salt. I paired my lunch with a bottle of Heineken. The beer was served with a chilled glass mug and was cold. Service was excellent and very friendly. Tri-tip was good, not outstanding. I don't like fries that are pre-coated. I prefer plain cut potatoes fir my fries. I am still on the hunt for my favorite barbecue place

    It's always pleasant when we stop by this Cafe for breakfast or lunch. When cruising we always stop here to eat but today we decided to stay the night in San Pedro for our anniversary. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the staff is friendly all the time. The food is delicious prices are good and reasonable. We highly recommend this restaurant whenever you are in the area of San Pedro.

    Solid breakfast joint. The eggs benedict was tasty and the mimosa hit just right. Def recommended and will try this place out again if I'm ever in town in the future.

    Came on a Sunday. Place is busy. Great local café. Feels like a hidden gem. Great prices and even better service. Will return.

    Espresso Martini

    San Pedro Cafe is one of our favorite spots! The food is absolutely amazing, and the portions are HUGE--you definitely won't leave hungry! Everything we've ordered has been delicious, and the staff is always so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. My daughter absolutely loves the lemon pancakes, and they are definitely a must-try! And for the adults, they have the BEST espresso martinis in town! If martinis aren't your thing, they offer a FULL BAR, not just beer and wine. Great food, generous portions, amazing prices, wonderful service, and such a welcoming atmosphere. We always look forward to coming back!

    The service at this place is excellent with the entire staff working together to table touch. Everyone that walked past us asked us if we needed anything. They had many menu options with great prices. The food was great and the restaurant was very clean considering it was very busy. We will definitely be visiting again soon.

    Really impressed with the wide variety of sides.

    There were SO many things I wanted to try on my first visit. At the suggestion of the owner/chef who was bussing tables and cleaning, I went with the El Pollo Verde Omelet. DELISH. You can taste the freshness and authentic flavors. I had a choice of side and a bread. So many choices! I got Spanish brown jasmine rice. So good. Not your traditional Spanish rice but full of flavor. My bread was hard to pick too but I went with rye. The meal is massive and sooooo reasonably priced. I'm mad and sad I don't live closer but my waistline is definitely happy I don't. Savannah was super sweet. Very nice server and patient with all of my first timer questions. The place had a western diner vibe. They have patio and indoor seating. Parking is bad. They do have their own lot in the back but the place is busy. There are public lots on 7th and 8th.

    Lemon Pancakes with combo add on (2 eggs and 2 bacon)
    Jamie M.

    I was looking online to see if anything in the area looked good for breakfast and came across a review mentioning Lemon Pancakes so I figured I'd give San Pedro Cafe a try. Immediately upon entry, I noticed that the restaurant was fairly full for a Monday morning so that was a good sign. I was seated immediately but then it took a minute for my server to come and check on me, even though I mentioned I was ready to order. All was forgotten when my lemon pancakes made their way to the table. 3 huge fluffy pancakes smothered in sour cream and topped with a single strawberry. (I opted for the combo so mine had the 2 bacon and 2 eggs as well.) I felt the price was fair for what I ordered (pancakes were $9.99 and the combo add on was $4.50 I think)

    HUGE portions. We should have shared. Delicious breakfast/lunch restaurant on main drag in San Pedro only 1 mile from cruise terminal. Large menu. We needed to fuel up before our cruise and this place was two blocks from our hotel. They have bar seating, outdoor seating and a good sized dining room. Great coffee! We ordered the sausage, bacon and cheese omelette and lemon pancakes. Three large pancakes with choice of protein and eggs. So delicious. Great, friendly service and kept our coffee cups full. Great prices too. Eggs Benedict for $12.50?! They are on our list for restaurants when we cruise out of San Pedro. Delicious, fast, hot. They close at 3 but now offer a happy hour. Great place!

    Chilaquiles
    Colanie B.

    I took my mom and her helper to see the Korean Friendship Bell. After admiring the craftsmanship of the bell, and enjoying the beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean, we were ready to eat! Our helper Yelped for a brunch place nearby, and came up with San Pedro Cafe. The parking in the back was packed, luckily someone was leaving so we took their space. The restaurant was dimly lit with lots of wood. Nice staff sat us at a table, and made room for my mom in her wheelchair. We ordered: - garlic parmesan fries - 1/2 tuna sandwich on squaw bread with vegetabl soup - Chilaquiles - Strawberry Walnut Salad with Arugula, green & red leaf, spinach, candied walnuts, sliced strawberries, sliced almonds and orange wedges. Tossed in our honey balsamic and topped with tortilla wedges. I added chicken for an additional $2.95. HUGE PORTIONS with soda in HUGE glasses. Everything was fresh and delicious, our group had a great experience. Thanks Yelp for another great find!

    Café by day and fabulous upscale diner by morning, with service that makes you smile -- it's the kind of place I'd go to every day if I lived in walking distance. The coffee flows without asking, and the food is delicious. San Pedro offers portions, buzzing ambience, and immensely friendly service by a team that seems happy and eager to help. Fantastic!

The vibes are vibing. I loved listening to one of the guys in the kitchen sing. 5 stars for service My server had amazing energy and was very accommodating to every type of customer who came in, including those who were a little rough around the edges. She let me stay past closing so I could finish my iced tea and do some more work on my laptop. 5 stars for food It was a perfect Denver omelette, well cooked with plenty of cheese and peppers and Ham and onions nicely diced. The breakfast potatoes were thinly sliced and nice and crispy, which surprisingly is hard to find in a diner. The iced tea was strong and plentiful. I realize that diner fare is not typically considered five-star cuisine, but for what they do, they did excellently. A perfect lunch experience. No notes. It's very small inside, but there's a patio in the back. Parking is free but limited.

The partnership began in 2007, and continues today. Our location is located outdoors, opposite to the El loco Fresh mexican cantina. It is an a la carte menu, very focused on burgers, fries and shakes. I've never tried a burger from them on a ship, but decided to try an ice cream shake (since it's not offered at any of the complementary eating places). We were on a back to back cruise on the Navigator, so once we were back on the boat, waited till 11 am (when they opened) to get two shakes (oreo and strawberry). Normally $5.50 (non-alcoholic), any previous sailing customer (i.e. someone with at least one previous sailing on RC) will get two 50% 'coupons' for a shake. Everything onboard automatically gets charged a 18% gratuity, so total for each shake was $3.54 (including the LA tax since I got it while in port). Like everything else here, it gets charged to the room, being settled up right after we disembark. The shakes were handmade, using soft serve vanilla ice cream as the base. Oreo crumbles or strawberry syrup was added along with milk, to make a pretty decent shake. Enjoying it right now while writing this review when I still have cell service before we head back to Mexico.

I really hate to throw any shade on an independently own businesses. But, for your first-timers out there or you people thinking about going to the establishment, I think there's probably a couple of things that you should think about before you come to this café. First of all, let me speak about the high points. The staff here are all super nice. They do their job jobs very well, and they're very friendly. In terms of their food, it seems very well prepared, and it's always really tasty. They have a very nice cross-section of Americana, Cali/Mex, and other items that really make the selection of what you decide to eat truly an adventure. Plus, they have a really nice selection of drinks, including all of the expected: soft drinks, coffees, lattes, and all of that kind of stuff. They also have a few fairly unique drinks. All good! In terms of atmosphere, they have two main interior dining spaces. Both are very well presented, and the tables are nicely spaced apart so you never feel too close to the other customers in the restaurant, even when it's crowded. They also have a couple of outdoor tables, if that's your preference. If you want to sit out and enjoy the atmosphere. Again, all good! There's a few things that are a little bit funky about this restaurant, however, which always send me to wondering. The first is, they do not have their Health Department Grade displayed on their front window as is required. Generally, I've always found the only time restaurants don't show their grade is when they've received a lower than A marking. So, I don't know what Health Department Grading this restaurant has as it is not displayed. Simple as that. It makes me wonder. The other thing is, if you go to the restroom, you walk past their kitchen and their food preparations areas. You can't help but see the space. I don't know? It just seems a little bit funky back there. Then, when you go into the restroom, if I can be kind, it really needs a renovation. There's caulking and filler used all along the lower walls. Why? That's only known by the people who run this establishment. But, it's just a little bit funky back there. They have these upper shelves, covered with small draperies. Plus, there's an area where they keep their supplies, that it's just not a nice thing to look at when you're eating in a café. My feeling is this stuff should all be separated from the dining establishment so the customers don't have to look at it when they use the restroom. It's just not a good look. Overall, all this being said, this is an unique café, that offers some interesting dishes. I'm just telling you the facts. Make of it what you will.

I've tried many of the other restaurants in the area and for some reason had missed this one because I don't live close by. This past weekend I gave it a try and thought it was terrific. There is a free parking lot attached on the side of the building so parking is very easy and inside is pretty large with booth seating as well as regular table seating. They also have outdoor seating as well, but it was a bit windy on the day we stopped in. Our server was very polite and everything that we ordered came out very fast. They also had a very large amount of limited time specials so I had to take them up on one of those options. We started off with the coffee cake and I thought it was pretty good although it was gigantic. I'm a bit more of a fan of the gooier coffee cake and this was a bit cake ear but still it was enjoyable. I also tried the spicy turkey chili and thought that was a 10 out of 10. I absolutely loved the amount of spice and it had some really great flavors. For my breakfast, I chose one of the specials, which was the Carne Asada Chilaquiles and thought it was terrific. It was a ton of meat and it was honestly more than I could finish, but I really enjoyed trying to. I would definitely recommend and would stop again next time I'm in the area.
