    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

    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 wife, my son, and I recently spent two nights at the Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel and Spa while…read morecelebrating my 66th birthday. I redeemed 32,000 World of Hyatt points per night for a one-bedroom suite. The property itself is beautiful and has tremendous potential, but unfortunately the attention to detail and overall execution fell short of what I expected from a Hyatt Regency. Prior to arrival, I personally emailed General Manager Kevin Ellis and explained that we were visiting Monterey to celebrate my birthday. Upon arrival, there were two balloons on the coffee table and two handwritten coupons for house drinks. While I appreciate any acknowledgment, it didn't feel particularly thoughtful for an adult milestone birthday. A personalized note, bottle of wine, or tasteful welcome amenity would have created a much more memorable impression. The suite was spacious and attractive, but housekeeping needed more attention. The master shower had visible dark spotting around the caulking that appeared to be mildew, and the carpeting did not appear thoroughly cleaned. The suite also had very limited amenities--essentially a couple of paper cups and Keurig pods, with no proper glassware or silverware. Our reservation clearly indicated three guests: my wife, my adult son, and myself. Yet the suite appeared prepared primarily for two. My son was supposed to use the sofa bed, which unfortunately was extremely uncomfortable and caused significant back discomfort. Management later provided World of Hyatt points for the inconvenience, which I appreciated, but a suite designed to accommodate additional guests should provide a reasonably comfortable sleeping arrangement. Another major frustration involved my World of Hyatt reservation. Despite redeeming 32,000 points per night, there was repeated confusion regarding the resort/destination fee and my applicable benefits. I ultimately received the fee waiver, but only after repeatedly contacting the front desk. At one point, I was told this was somehow a "modified" World of Hyatt reservation. I still don't understand what was modified--I redeemed my World of Hyatt points and booked as a World of Hyatt member. There also seemed to be a disconnect between what the reservation team communicated before arrival and what the hotel understood once we arrived. A loyalty member redeeming a substantial number of points should not have to repeatedly explain the reservation or chase down applicable benefits. My biggest concern, however, was management responsiveness. When guests take the time to communicate concerns, particularly directly with senior management, there should be timely acknowledgment and follow-through. Several matters seemed to require additional emails before receiving a response. The property is beautiful, the location is appealing, and the suite has tremendous potential. But beautiful facilities alone don't create exceptional hospitality. Housekeeping, communication, responsiveness, consistency, and attention to detail make the difference. I appreciate that management eventually provided some points and addressed certain concerns. However, compensation after problems occur is not a substitute for getting the fundamentals right from the beginning. With stronger operational oversight, better coordination between reservations and the property, improved housekeeping, and more knowledgeable handling of World of Hyatt reservations and benefits, this could be an excellent hotel. Unfortunately, our experience did not match the potential of this otherwise beautiful property.
