    Biscuit Benedict with scrambled eggs
    Genevieve L.

    We stopped by on late Monday morning. Immediately sat and the service was very friendly. The patio is so nicely done with the unique tables and umbrellas. The waffle and the biscuits and gravy were so good! Will definitely be coming back.

    Solid brunch spot in Atascadero! Just be prepared to wait if you go on the weekend. Pro tip: bring cash to save 4% on credit card fees My friend and I came by the Saturday of Mother's Day weekend and it was packed! We arrived around 11 and was quoted a wait time of ~20 minutes, which ended up being fairly accurate. They have a large waiting area with plenty of tables and seating, so the wait went by pretty quickly. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. We were seated indoors, but from what I glimpsed of their patio seating, it was cute. The menu is huge and there's a large variety of both brunch and lunch options. There's a sign in the waiting area that mentions charging an extra 4% for credit card payments, but I really appreciated that both the cash and credit card prices are listed on the menu so it's clear. I went with the biscuit benedict for $18, and my friend got the florentine benedict for $18. Both our dishes came out quickly. Portions were huge and the food was solid. The gravy is really rich, so I couldn't finish all of the biscuits + gravy. My friend really enjoyed his benedict and especially the crispy tater tots. We really enjoyed our meal here. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good breakfast/brunch spot in Atascadero.

    I really enjoyed the funny decor they had all over the restaurant. The staff are silly and you can tell they enjoy being there. Our server was great about recommendations. I ended up with the California Benedict but substitute the muffin for their biscuit. Their biscuits were a hit and my daughter was even picking off my plate. My only disappointment was the egg. One egg was barely runny and the other egg was fully cooked. The best part about eating a Benedict was slicing into the pouched egg and watching the yolk ooze out into the sauce. I didn't get that here. Aside from that, everything else was great. The breakfast burrito was huge and I loved the tater tots in it. There's also a whole outdoor area with a fountain. It's very pretty out there. I would come back.

    Cozy place, and busy - which is great ! When locals flock to a place, I know it is good. Place is run by women and run very well - efficient and friendly. Huge menu and tons of options - and so good that difficult to choose. They did ask if we want to sit outside or inside. But I missed the beautiful outside seating in the back. Will choose that next time. Every dish was a feast to eye and tongue! Only request -- would have liked milk instead of artificial creams with coffee. Having said that , coffee was still very good. Highly recommended.

    corned beef hash crispy!  tater tots were a great!  ( get a side of their house dressing to dip them into, thanks Lori!)

    Finally tried this fabulous place. From the wait staff to the delicious food this is my new favorite place! Everyone was so friendly even though they were packed. Received wonderful service from our waitress Lori. Hope to see her on our next visit

    the Philly - skillet style :-)

    Honestly one of my favorite spot for breakfast here in Atascadero. The Nest is a cozy restaurant right next to the post office, and has a pretty amazing & friendly staff. My partner and I have been coming here for quite awhile, though we'd often order take out since we live pretty close by. OKAY THE FOOD: I almost always order their omelettes or their California sandwich- they're pretty filling and honestly stuffed with veggies & meat. * The California sandwich is probably my favorite breakfast sandwich from here- there's plenty of spinach and thick strips of bacon that will leave you pretty dang full. * Papa Daddy Omelette; my favorite omelette here and I love that you can always add extra ingredients/ sides * You can always make your omelette into a skillet here If you're ever in town, I highly recommend this breakfast/ brunch spot. They're open early and close by 2pm! Happy eating :-)

    End of skillet- note this is not served in a cast iron skillet

    Found on Yelp. Almost left when saw outside as in strip center w urgent care. Inside is charming diner style. Lots of light. Busier than looked from outside friday at breakfast. Excellent service. Anything you might like they have for breakfast. Also serve lunch at breakfast so there's that too! They'll turn any omellete into skillet. The potatoes o brian in the skillet were deep fried and I was happy w that. Toast was heavy on butter - also aligned w my preferences, lol!

    This is the cutest breakfast, brunch, or lunch place! I really enjoyed their French roast coffee and I had the half waffle combo with an egg and bacon. The breakfast was a typical cafe breakfast, no complaints. I loved the beautiful plants and open-wall area in this cafe. Service was great!

    Split beautifully onto two plates!

    Going into winter and Covid cases are skyrocketing- just wondering if they're still not wearing masks? I LOVE a good breakfast but I'm not willing to risk lives over it. Thanks in advance!

    From what I've experienced, servers have masks around their necks and ask if you wish to have them masked when serving. Uh, yes please!

    I saw the picture of the Robert sandwich. Looks amazing. Is this new or a special of the day? And what is on it?

    Hi good morning, it’s on our actual menu everyday. Robert is the head cook and he loves this sandwich. It’s a salty and sweet kinda thing. It has ham, cheese, lettuce, onion, egg, mustard, peanut butter, blackberry jelly and tomato and served on… Read more

They have sofa seating and many seating tables. Staff was friendly and helpful. They serve fresh pastries and also have other food items such as sandwiches and wraps. We tried their Mexican mocha and vanilla latte. Both were very good with a rich coffee flavor that we like. We also had their chocolate chip scone which was very good as well. They also have gluten free pastry options. Overall, a great coffee house. If we are in the area next time, we will definitely stop by for some more good coffee and pastries! Happy Nom Nom!

Bru seem to have the best reviews in town, so I decided to check it out. I was blown away how much room both inside and outside this shop had when it comes to seating. You definitely can't tell that's the case from the outside, but it was a great surprise once I got in. The barista was friendly, they were able to create my drink no problem, and I really loved the different gluten and dairy free options they had for food. I went with a gluten and dairy free, chocolate, banana muffin that was really good. The only reason I gave four stars instead of five, was simply the quality of the oat milk. It was good, but not great. That said, if I lived in the area, it would not prevent me from coming. Other than that, it's a really cool shop.

    I would literally WALK from LA and back to visit this amazing establishment again (if I didnt have…read moresuch a bad back I would seriously do it) My boyfriend and I stumbled on this place during our road trip and although it was a quick stop, I left feeling so happy and overly satisfied w my meal. Not only was the food amazing but so was the hospitality. They gave us a free ube latte bc they made an extra on accident and i swear it was better than the dutch bros I had down the street. At first we were skeptical about the lumpia bc of the peas in them but once you get over that you'll realize its actually REALLYYYY GOOD. they werent soggy or flavorless, it was perfect all around. I was so full but almost wanted to buy another order to eat on the road- it was that good. My boyfriend devoured the slider, but spared me a bite. Im not really a burger/sandwich person but i have to say it was so flavorful would def recommend. If i was hungrier I would have ordered one for myself. We will be visiting again someday, but in the meantime I hope people will get to find this gem and have a memorable & positive experience as my boyfriend and I did

It consisted of Lumpia (a type of spring roll) pork (was dry but the gravy saved it) white rice and glass noodles with vegetables. My wife ordered the mango lemonade which was surprisingly good. So why did I give four stars? I found two bones in the pork. When I mentioned it to the owner she said it was from cutting meat from the bone. I do not know of this was an aberration or not. These could have easily chipped a tooth or cracked a filling. I guess being a Casualty Underwriter for 37 years is commenting.
