This place is great. The service is great, wonderful menu choices and from the diagram, delicious food. Try the filled avocado- it is delicious. My grandson enjoyed his breakfast with excellent thick bacon and a chocolate chip pancake. My granddaughter had a part of the child with oats and fresh fruit, which was a great part of a child's meal. We'll go back when we're in Monterey. View all feedback.
What James Edmiston doesn't like about Old Monterey Cafe:
Small, unassuming spot. The restaurant has some interesting decor, but is a bit cramped for seating. There's a line out the door constantly, which speaks to the quality of the food. I had the scramble with smoked salmon, which was really good. The hashbrowns were okay. A bit soggy in the middle, but otherwise fine. Coffee is good. My wife enjoyed her French toast.

We visited during a busy Saturday morning. Surprisingly, we were seated immediately. They are Johnny on the spot with the coffee. I don't think I ever finished a full cup before they topped me off again. Food was good and the place is very kid-friendly. Moderate pricing. My wife and I did notice it was pretty crowded. Not just busy; I think the tables are a little too close together, so you really have to squeeze to walk around the tables. Overall, it was a very positive experience.  
The monte Cristo was delicious , as was the French toast. The biscuits and gravy were a bit of a disappointment. Most likely wouldn't make the choice to eat that item again. They have an extensive menu selection of breakfast/lunch. Order a side of bacon!
Excellet omelets and coffee, friendly staff. A great way to start the morning.
Good vibe, nice staff, but hollandaise sauce is falling apart and crab is not the freshest the benedict.
We love this place and go here just about every time we go to Monterey. This is an update from my original post a couple years ago. This place really hasn't changed. The food is delicious. The service is great.
