    Waitress greeted us right away and they have coffee outside while you wait! We didn't have to wait long, even with the place being packed! Server was on us right away and had menus at our table! Servers came by a couple of times to check to see if we were ready to order! SO many great options! The biscuits and spicy gravy was off the hook! I actually had it on the side of my steak and eggs! I was TOTALLY happy with just the biscuits and gravy! But everything was great! Coffee was strong and the place was really nice! Had that old school diner charm! All of the servers were attentive and friendly and everyone had a smile! They LOOKED like they wanted to be there, and they all hustled! Great spot for breakfast if you're in the area! We'll be back!

    18.00+ tax/tip?  Really...  Yeah, I'm good.  Rather eat at Denny's  For that price

    $18 plus tax and tip This will cost you maybe $5.89 To make groceries And cook it at your house This is why restaurants are going out of business I won't go there again

    All searches for a breakfast/brunch place led us here. We were staying in Monterey, and when looking for recommendations this place kept popping up. There's ample parking in the plaza, so it should not be a concern. We went on a weekday morning, so it wasn't crowded but the looking at how at the familiarity between the staff and some of the customers, it seemed like a local favorite. The staff was very sweet, and place seemed very chirpy, the place reminded of a good old diner. All the staff was very sweet. We got the Quintals omelette, and it was my first time trying refried beans in an omelette and it was definitely something we'd try again. We also got French toast with fresh fruits and it was delicious too.

    Stop by for breakfast on our way to Monterey. We decided to stop here instead of one in Morgan Hill as we wanted to be closer to our destination. We pick Breakfast club as we thought the omelet would be same as other location. Place was busy for a Wednesday. GF got the veggie omelet added ham and cheese and I got ribeye steak as I been craving steak and eggs. Omelet we like the stuff mix in with the egg then fried. Not just fold it all in. Might as well had the veggies on the side. It was ok but disappointed as we were expecting it to be like the other location. I got the steak as I asked server if it was good and she said super good and huge So was excited only to be very disappointed. I asked for medium and it was over cook probably because it was super thin. My pancake did make up for it. Went for pancake in stead of toast. Also first cup of coffee was not hot.

    Cookie monster latte

    We have been to the Breakfast Club in San Jose and Morgan Hill. This one is the OG and has been here for 36 years. Owners and staff are amazing. Food was top tier! Quality ingredients. Their selection of lattes was fabulous. Drinks are incredible! We recommend 1,0

    Tuna Melt and Chicken and Waffles
    Andy V.

    This place was busy busy. We waited not too long, but got sat in a corner so our service was real slow. Took forever to even ask for napkins and silverware. The Tuna Melt was basic and the fries tasted like they came straight out of a bag from Walmarts frozen section. My son got Chicken and Waffles which wasn't bad, but the hash he got was basic and the bacon was hard as a rock. I couldn't believe they even brought it out to us like that. The pricing seems standard like other breakfast places, but is definitely not worth it for the quality that we got.

    Split eggs benedict & cinnamon roll pancake

    We shared a smoked salmon eggs benedict & a single cinnamon roll pancake. (FYI they charge a $1 for split plates) can't go wrong w/the Breakfast Club. Thankfully we didn't have to wait long to be seated. Definitely one of my go to breakfast spots in town!

    Service was quite friendly. The server was accommodating to our special requests. The food was prepared as we liked it. Bacon was crispy and the omelette was a good size. The whole place was subtly decorated in 250 year patriotic theme from the carnations on the tables to the banners on the windows.

    Very yummy Pancakes with Fresh Fruit

    This place was so good and what really made it great was the staff. After waiting at another place for almost an hour in Monterey, my friends and I decided to come here instead. We signed up and waited along with a vast number of people. While we did have to wait a little more they asked if we wanted to sit outside, a lot people hesitated cause it was chilly n windy but their outside tent had heating and the wind was blocked. We joked with our server not to forgot us since we were outside, and she reassured us that they wouldn't. And they deliver. Staff were incredibly attentive, always checking in on us, dropping coffees and drinks and handing us these large creamers (that made me laugh). Everyone of the staff that was attending other tables outside always checked in. They were wonderful :) As for the food, it's legit. Out of all the food I had that weekend it was hands down the best. And the prices were perfect after being in Monterey and Carmel. My friends n I split a pancake that was hella good on its own with no syrup, topped with berries. I got a chile verde omelet that just hit right. Legit the best I've had as well. Pork was tender and the verde sauce was delish. I would def drive down here just to eat here again.

    I thought this was a pretty traditional breakfast type place. They have all the usual offerings for breakfast and the setting is clean and comfortable inside. Service was also good. I thought the prices were a little high, but not terribly so. I ordered the Traditional French Toast which goes for $13.95. They gave me three large slices of french toast. Most other places typically cut the slices in half and give you six pieces, but honestly that's just to make you think you are getting a larger serving. The french toast was good and I have no complaints.

    Stopped by The Breakfast Club while visiting Monterey Bay and loved it. The vibe was fun and laid-back, and the service was friendly from the start. I had a mimosa and an omelet, and both hit the spot. The omelet was fresh, cooked well, and had plenty of filling. The mimosa was crisp and just the right start to a relaxing brunch. One of my favorite little touches was the cute coffee cups with the café's name on them which was such a fun detail that made it feel special. Overall, this is a great place for breakfast or brunch if you're in the area. Good food, good drinks, and a nice way to start the day.

    Seaside Joe's Scramble
    Michelle C.

    One of my favorite places to go! There are a lot of choices. Inside has a lot of tables, we went on a sunday morning and were seated quickly. The staff were super nice! Definitely a place that can get loud, when we went, it was pretty low key :)

My breakfast came with a tiny piece of hickory ham steak that was dry, overcooked, and burnt. The eggs were overcooked as well. The biscuits tasted like a basic Bisquick mix, and the gravy was loaded with processed black pepper and that was all it tasted like. Overall, the food was poor quality, especially considering the high prices. I tried several times to get my waitress's attention so I could send the ham back, but she never looked over. By the time I was finally able to flag her down, I was nearly finished eating. To her credit, she replaced the ham with two sausage links, which were acceptable. Unfortunately, the service issues continued when I went to pay. I was standing at the register ready to check out when a group of customers walked in. Instead of completing my transaction, the employee at the front asked me to wait while she seated the new arrivals. Between the lack of attention, disappointing food, and poor customer service, this was a frustrating experience. There are much better breakfast options in town that offer better food for less money. I won't be returning.

When we arrived they had a small parking lot but busy because they do a lot of Door Dash and Uber Eats business. Once inside I took a quick look at the menu and saw they had breakfast burritos of either Chorizo-Sausage-Ham-Bacon or Veggie. I chose Chorizo breakfast burrito($10.39) The shop is run by the owner-he was the cashier and the cook. In talking to him,he was telling me that his family owns multiple Mexican small shops like this in the Juarez Mexico area and El Paso Texas area.Says that all the shops use the same recipe for their hot sauce that is served with the burritos. Once the burrito arrived,it was both heavy and warm.Once I cut it open,I was able to appreciate the craftsmanship of this burrito in all its chorizo,egg,potato and cheese glory-it was beautiful. As pretty as it was though,it tasted even better,I had planned on only eating half of it as I had a tee time in less than an hour but one bite led to another and then it was gone. I've had many breakfast burritos in my day and as unexpected as this is to say,this may have been the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. Also the aforementioned family-recipe hot sauce that came with the burrito was so spicy yet so tasty--perfect combo to a perfect burrito. In closing,if you ever find yourself in the Monterey area and you want to treat yourself to some upper echelon breakfast burritos-do yourself a favor and stop at 3 Mundos sandwich shop-a top tier food experience awaits.

The cake donut was described as a "premium" option, which surprised me because it felt pretty standard. The coconut topping was minimal, just a light sprinkle, and the frosting was unusually heavy and thick. It didn't taste like a typical glaze or bakery frosting--instead it reminded me of the dense, processed frosting you'd find on packaged snack cakes. I ended up peeling most of it off and wouldn't order it again. The sugar donut itself also didn't stand out. It had an odd aftertaste that reminded me slightly of cinnamon, though I'm not sure if that was from the oil or the dough. Overall it didn't taste very fresh, and I didn't enjoy it enough to finish. Overall, the pricing is reasonable for the area, but the quality didn't match expectations. I actually ended up throwing the sugar one away and eating the cake donut after peeling off the frosting. The shop itself feels more like a small diner counter than a dedicated donut shop, with a few donut options alongside a basic counter setup. I wouldn't return based on this visit.
