The breakfast here is excellent! We had the Olliaberry (sp?) pancakes, eggs, sausage, potatoes and toasty. Everything was well made. The potatoes were a bit crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and well seasoned. The pancakes were top notch, fluffy and the berries were sweet-tart. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is the service. No coffee refill, in fact no one checked on us. The server seemed annoyed to seat us and deliver our meals. We were there on the Monday after Easter at 10:30 am or so, the place was not busy but no one seemed to be checked on either. 5 stars if the service improves. read more

3.5 stars. Felt I got my money's worth. San Francisco omelette was quite good. The pancakes were really solid. The decor is cute but dated. I'd call this one of the better breakfast and brunch joints available to locals. The tourists not looking for an ocean view should also come. read more

One of my go-to's in Pacific grove for breakfast. I don't live there anymore, but when I visit family I check this place out. I always get their calamari steak and eggs (served as you'd like). This is a classic cafe serving to what it feels like to me- home food. It's mellow. Diner-like almost. And a warm cosy, atmosphere. Nothing posh, but just good food and a friendly staff to get you want you need. Always enjoy putting this into my breakfast schedule if I'm craving something good. read more

Food is great and outside seats have a nice view of Downtown Pacific Grove. It's a decent size place but it can get crowded with a wait on the weekends, though not too bad. Loved the crab Benedict and the different options for mimosas! read more

had breakfast on Friday with family. Three of us had eggs, we all got sick. Food poisoning?!!

Food eas pretty good! We were able to walk right in and get seated for breakfast! Staff were attentive and the restaurant looked pretty clean! I would come back! read more

Decided to stop by here to fuel up pre cycling adventure, apparently it was a busy Sunday despite the cold weather. Wait was a little long but food was decent, service was slow Our group of 6 was seated outside in the back area. They did not have room for us inside. There was no heat lamp and area was unfortunately foggy and cold at the time. Food and coffee took a while to get to the table. Felt like maybe the server forgot about us being out side in the back seating area. read more

Love this place. Just happened to find it by accident last Sunday. We were seated right away and the staff was helpful and friendly. It's a busy little local place... I ordered the corned beef and it's made from scratch served with potatoes and toast. It was so delicious all corned beef will be now judged by their standard. My husband had their waffle with a side of bacon and egg. Both were excellent. It's a quiet and clean establishment and if you're lucky to have a window seat, it adds to the ambiance. We will definitely be returning on our next visit. read more

Toasties Cafe - Pancake and eggs Benedict - American Near Me - Pacific Grove, California

Toasties is one of those solid breakfast joints you can count on: consistent, comforting, and always hits the spot. The food is dependable and satisfying, which is exactly what I want in a place like this. They've got all the essentials: eggs, pancakes, scrambles - and they do them well. My go-to is one of their Benedicts (so good!) paired with their potatoes which are well-seasoned. You can tell they care about getting the basics right. The restaurant itself is cute and has a cozy, homey vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer over your coffee. It's the kind of spot that feels like a neighborhood staple. If I had to nitpick, the staff isn't exactly warm or chatty, but they are quick and efficient, which honestly can be just as important when you're hungry and need your food fast. Overall, Toasties is a great local gem that is a must try. It may not be fancy, but reliably good and totally worth your breakfast dollars. read more

My husband ordered the homemade chicken fried steak with potatoes and toast. I ordered the Spanish omelette with green chilies, onions, and cheddar cheese topped with salsa and sour cream. The food was great! The service was great, and nice little spot to enjoy small town hospitality. We will definitely be back. read more

Toasties is in DT Pacific Grove. We stopped by after playing golf at Spyglass in nearby Pebble Beach. They offer bfast & lunch in a casual setting. I had the Mediterranean salad w/ chicken (up charge). Three friends ordered sandwiches and one ordered bfast. The salad tasted very good, and the amount of chicken was good vs the up charge (I believe its $2). In addition, the produce was fresh. Nonetheless, the portion of salad vs the price was high IMHO. Our waitress was super nice and hardworking. She handled our table of 5 w/ no problem. All in all, a very positive experience. I look forward to trying something heavier next time like country fried steak. read more

Good food and prices and local staff is friendly and the cooks are amazing I would recommend it

The food was just alright, we got the French toast and the breakfast burritos. The service however, was worth five stars. They were very kind and attentive. This is a classic diner feel and is cute. A good place to eat at before heading to lover's point or the natural history museum. read more

Hubby and I ordered the banana pecan pancake and Italian sausage omelette so we can enjoy the both and we loved them both! The kids loved their food as well- French toast specials and strawberry pancakes. It's a good sized cottage turned into a restaurant. The place is older but it's clean and run by pleasant and helpful staff. read more

This review is only based on the veg omelet I had on a Monday am. I found it to be unappealing and bland tasting. We've had the potatoes before and they've been done perfectly but this time there were some that were overdone and some underdone. I didn't care much for the coffee (but I'm used to Peet's), either. I have to say it's totally on me for ordering the wrong thing. The Benedicts looked delicious and I'm sure the French toast and pancakes are as well. Next time I will get one of those! The waitress we had was efficient but not very friendly but the other waitress was very chatty with the next table but they seemed to be locals, so that seems natural. The place is very cute and cozy. I will give it another try the next time I go to PG. read more

Worse customer service ever! Never came to ask how we were doing or if we needed anything else.i notice they would ask other tables but never use. read more

I love Toasties! The potato dish breakfast and the pancakes are consistently good, and the service is great. It's a solid, good old fashioned diner kind of place. read more

Good selection of breakfast options. Staff was super friendly. Kind of a greasy spoon, in a good way.

We found this place on a whim in downtown Pacific Grove and decided to try it out. We were not disappointed. The restaurant was quant and cute. There was a lot more seats and room than it looked like from the outside. We were seated fairly quickly, only had to wait about 5 min. The servicer was quick with getting to us and our food was out in no time. My California Scramble was really good, not too heavy and just the right amount of fillings (tomato, avocado, cheese, bacon). The side of bacon was cooked perfectly for me, nice and crispy! Our daughter loved the Strawberry Waffle. Our food tasted good and exactly what we needed to start our day! read more

I was happily surprised at how much I really like this place! The prices are very reasonable - less than most breakfast/brunch places around here. The wait wasn't bad at all. Even though it was super crowded. The eggs Benedict was really good and the potatoes are awesome! It has a cute seating plates outside. The service is super friendly and attentive. We are definitely adding this to our list to come back again too! read more

My family and I went to Toasties Cafe this morning and it did not disappoint!! Our server Christian was amazing and attentive. He was funny and made sure we always had what we needed. The best server we had during our entire visit to Monterey! He even brought out my daughter's food as soon as it was ready. The potatoes were to die for, absolutely delicious and I can't wait to go back and eat them again. The portions of food are big and the restaurant definitely gives off family vibes, everyone seems so friendly. Everything was so tasty and we can't wait to go back!! read more

Great place for breakfast fantastic verity of different food the people are friendly and the place is very nice

We decided to go here because it opens early, 6:30 AM. It is a small, old school place with lots of menu options. The omelets were solid (the right amount of cheese and toppings)and the potatoes were excellent- well seasoned. Best of all it was not super greasy. The waitress was good and the prices were reasonable. read more

Service was nice but food wasn't anything to brag about at all. The French toast was soggy in the middle. One plate of our bacon was burnt and tasted burnt. It's definitely an old diner feel with not much updates. read more

Classic diner with breakfast and lunch options in a small, but cute town? I'm in! My friend and I came here after visiting Monarch Butterfly Grove and we were allured by all of the pretty murals on the walls outside. We chose to sit outside, where it was empty, but our servers were attentive towards us the whole time. The servers were friendly and made us feel comfortable. There's also seating inside, as well as a bathroom. There's street parking available, which was fairly empty on a weekday. It may be different on a weekend though. We started off with an ollalieberry waffle with whipped cream on the side. What's an ollalieberry, you ask? It's the the child of a raspberry and a blackberry, adopting the texture of a raspberry, and the appearance of a blackberry. The waffle was perfect but I could go without the ollallieberry. I'm not a fan of the soft raspberry texture. After having dessert first, we ate our main dishes. I got the eggplant sandwich with salad on the side and my friend, the Philly cheesesteak with fries. The eggplant sandwich contained caramelized onions, eggplant, and cheese, which created a nice and creamy texture. The salad was standard but helped balance the heavier main. For drinks I got orange juice while my friend got a mocha, which was not on the menu. Apparently mochas are not their strong suite because she couldn't spit it out fast enough. She got creative and tried to fix it by adding in the leftover whip cream from the waffle, hah! Overall, I'm pleased with the service, quality of food, and accessibility. Make sure to stop by if you're in town! read more

I'm sitting here eating my eggs Benedict. The service is not that great considering that there are only 6 tables. I finished my cup of coffee and finally the waitress comes by to see if I need anything. I will admit I have high standards when it comes to eating out. When she took my order she did not ask how I would like my eggs cooked. This place was hopping back in the 1990's and early 2000's. I'm assuming it was sold and the original owners either retired or... I will probably not return. The service and the food is average not worth $17.00 plus coffee. I guess that's why the Little Red House has a line outside. Too bad I use to enjoy this place. read more

This place is a childhood favorite of mine and I'm super glad that it's still around serving delicious and comforting breakfast with its cozy diner atmosphere. My boyfriend and I stopped by on a weekday afternoon for brunch and it wasn't busy so we were seated immediately. We ordered the breakfast burritos, the biscuits and gravy special, and the pancake special. This was definitely way too much food for two people, as the portions were very generous, but we couldn't help wanting to order multiple things! Everything came out pretty quickly and was super yummy. I've never had the biscuits and gravy before but the gravy was nice and creamy and the biscuits were very fluffy. I used to order the breakfast burritos all the time as a kid and my appetite definitely isn't what it used to be, so I didn't finish both this time, but it's always a classic dish with great variety. Finally, the pancakes are literally the pancakes of my dreams. Even if I'm biased, this was my boyfriend's first time here, and he agreed they were the best pancakes ever. SUPER fluffy, they melt right in your mouth, and they pair perfectly with the salted butter and syrup provided. After years and years of coming to this place the pancakes have been consistently delicious every time. read more

Toasties Cafe - Biscuits and Gravy, Breakfast Burritos, Pancake Special - American Near Me - Pacific Grove, California

We've enjoyed breakfast at Toasties for many years and enjoyed our recent visit as well. Over these many years little has changed and that's part of the charm of this country style breakfast/brunch restaurant. The food continues to be fresh and nicely prepared and quite tasty with nice portion sizes but I'd be pressed to say generous portions. We enjoyed having breakfast at Toasties, if I were to offer a critique it would be the staff. They were okay, not rude but not the helpful, friendly, upbeat folks I remember. Makes me wonder if ownership has changed over recent years. read more

Great hamburgers. Traditional breakfast however all food is a bit pricy. Down home cooking.
