We have breakfast here every month while we stay at Andril Fireplace Cottages in Pacific Grove. We sit outside with our dog and the staff is always great, they even remember our dog Hunters name a month later. We love the banana pancakes and the spinach omelet is a favorite too. My husband loves the eggs benedict and waffles.

I hate to give this place a poor review after having been raised on the Peninsula and coming here throughout my childhood, but we recently returned and I was extremely unhappy with my meal. The restaurant was nearly empty and the corned beef hash that people rave about was unfortunately the worst corned beef hash I have had at any... More

We had lunch here, the menu was pretty typical, the staff was friendly. The interior is getting dated, but the small outdoor garden patio looked appealing.

Toasties is one of the places we look forward to returning to. It is not just that it is cute and homey. It is not just the great French Roast coffee. It is not just the really good cheese blintzes and egg dishes. It is also the consistently welcoming, gracious staff we see there year after year. It says a... More

I'm not the biggest breakfast person but I love Toasties Cafe in PG. Their potatoes are fantastic (I'm a big potato fan!!). Nice atmosphere, much preferable to First Awakenings, which has a much longer wait along with not particularly impressive food.

A very quaint, old fashioned dining room. Very simple furniture yet comfortable. The staff is pleasant and sweet. Regular and French Roast coffees are available. The menu offers homemade hash, omelets, eggs with linguisa or Italian sausage, or standard small breakfast sausage, or bacon. They also offer variety of eggs benedict, regular, crab and spinach, shrimp and avocado, turkey and... More

If the waite staff get overwhelmed, the owner jumps in and makes everything run smooth. Consistent good breakfasts, always reliable. The wait was only 10 minutes when they said 20 and it looked to be 30min. Reasonable prices, great atmosphere.

We were in town for the weekend with a group of 14. The staff did such a nice job of accommodating us on Saturday that we went back on Sunday. Both breakfast and lunch options were plentiful and delicious. The staff was just the right amount of friendly.
