Food: I ordered the Country Squire Combo, which comes with eggs, sausage/bacon, hash and pancakes…read more The sausage was nicely flavored and cooked. The hash was OK--would have liked more of a crisp to it and seasoning. And the pancakes... the texture threw me off a bit. It was kind of bread-y and not as fluffy as you'd expect. My partner ordered the Chorizo Sizzler, which, as the name suggests, came out of the kitchen smoking on a sizzling plate. As the heart of the dish, the chorizo actually had a nice flavor to it--it was just drowned in a sea of thickly cut potato wedges. Service: No complaints. Ambiance: While there was a sprinkle of decor throughout, I couldn't tell what the vibe was from this place--rustic? However, it felt lively at breakfast--all tables were filled, both inside and out.

Very slow service and barely acknowledged when we got in or took our order…read more Not the cleanest bathroom and food was not worth that wait - almost one hour including 15m to be seated. Despite the name seems more like a place for drinks than for food.

We had breakfast at this place during our trip to Catalina Island, and overall, the experience was…read moredisappointing. The only thing I really liked was the lavender syrup we added to our cappuccino -- it was a nice touch and actually tasted good. However, the prices were surprisingly high for what you get. A small cappuccino was $8, while in Los Angeles a medium-sized (and usually much better quality) cappuccino is around $6. The food was underwhelming. I ordered an avocado toast for $18, and it was very basic -- just toasted bread with sliced avocado and a bit of sesame on top. No seasoning, no spread, no greens, no egg -- nothing that would make it feel like a proper avocado toast. Adding a sausage was another $6, which made the whole meal even more overpriced. I also ordered two eggs, which were charged separately. Another major issue was the quality and freshness of the food. Everything was served cold or barely warm, and my partner's meal and coffee were completely cold. The fruit plate was also disappointing -- the blueberries were clearly not fresh and already starting to go bad, with a sour taste. On top of that, even water is not complimentary -- you have to purchase bottled water, which felt unreasonable given the already high prices. Overall, the place is significantly overpriced for the quality, freshness, and overall experience.

Could be a 5 star spot with some tweaks... The coffee was tasty. However was made differently from one day to the next. I had the iced toffee cruch latte both days. The first day was dressed up with caramel around the cup and whipped cream. The second day (the less busy day) was lacking the caramel and whip. The house made baked goods were really good. First day we had the peanut butter chocolate chip cookie. So very good. The Eclipse cookie was ok. It was like having two different cookies due to half the cookie being dipped in white chocolate. It was just ok. So, aside from the inconsistencies in drink making the other problem, was the ordering and pickup was confusing. People were kind of mixed together. Having a defined line and/or signage would be helpful.

It wasn't busy as it was during the week, and we found a table on the patio. Mr. B ordered a flight to try and we ordered a pineapple jalapeno pizza. I know many say pineapple doesn't belong on a pizza, but we happen to like it. The crust of the pizza was thin and covered in melted cheese, chunks of pineapple and slices of jalapeno. It was the perfect amount of spice and the pineapple calmed it down by adding a hint of sweetness. The beer was great, the pizza even better and you just can't beat the views of the bay. Service was good, and we were off to a good start of eating on Catalina Island.

I think if we had missed this experience, I would've cried. This is one of the most fun airports I've ever seen. The café has a very nice menu of unique items. I grabbed the buffalo cheeseburger with bacon and avocado. My friends Wanted the buffalo chile but they were sold out so they tried the BLT sandwich. The Killer cookies looked so tempting! There was a lot of merchandise to look around. There was really nice indoor space and a scenic outdoor seating space. I also got to see some small private planes land and takeoff as i was eating. Very unique experience. The food was delicious. Highly recommended. Above all else the staff were so nice. Please come and create your own adventure.

The drive up to the airport was beautiful. We got to see the nature and back country of Catalina Island. Plus we got to check off the Airport in the Sky restaurant off of our small airport diners list. Once we got to the airport, we took a look around and decided to take off on a hike. The weather was perfect and the hike was beautiful. As we rounded a corner we looked up and off on a nearby hill was a buffalo just grazing. After the hike we went back to the restaurant and ordered our lunch. Mr. B had a nice cold beer and I chose an iced tea. He ordered a burger and I was in the mood for diner food, so a grilled cheese and fries for me. The burger was great. Stuffed with onion, crispy bacon, a juicy burger and topped with avocado. The fries were like steak fries and were hot and yummy. My grilled cheese was delicious. The bread was nicely toasted and the cheese was melted and gooey, just the way a grilled cheese should be. We sat on the patio, and watched pilots come and go, hiker's come and go. Small tour vans bring guests for a short time to grab a cold drink come and go. It was sunny and beautiful on the patio. We chose a Killer Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookie to go. We walked over and watched planes take off and land while eating our cookie before our shuttle van was back to take us down to Avalon. We booked the shuttle through Catalina Conservancy which was a better option than a tour van or taxi. Just note, it can be pricey to get up and back and then add a meal on top of it, so be prepared. But it was well worth the trip, and the hike was fabulous.
