Found this gem of a restaurant on google. Located in old town Salinas, it’s friendly & inviting atmosphere. I ordered the eggs with ham steak & breakfast potatoes. DELISH! The orange juice was fresh & the coffee was freshly brewed. Isabel & the rest of staff was friendly & attentive. I would recommend anyone to have breakfast here

My husband and I stopped at this breakfast spot along our road trip, and we loved it. Everyone from the hosts and wait staff were extremely friendly, service was fast, and the restaurant was decorated everywhere with Halloween-themed decor, it was a super cute vibe. We got the portobello mushroom and blue cheese omelette, and the portion was a nice size. Would definitely come here again.

We arrived shortly after opening and seated right away, waited on promptly. Some of the other patrons spoke quite loudly so it was difficult to hear each other at our small table. No fault of the restaurant, just for other customers... know how loud you speak. Large portions of food and tasty. I ordered an omelet and was full of veggies. The potatoes did not taste good, way too oily. He ordered 2 eggs and meat. He too did not like the potatoes. Which was fine, luckily portions were so good we were still quite full without eating the potatoes. Staff was friendly and attentive. Would definitely go back.

No vegan options. Greasy under cooked potatoes and burnt muffin was the only offering after a long wait to order . I was the only customer at 7am

Salinas staple. Best breakfast in the county. The menu is top notch, the service is great and the food is prepared perfectly. We visit here every time we come to Salinas.

This is WAY better than the First Awakenings in Monterey! If you're looking for a nice breakfast spot, with well-kept rustic furniture bringing you back to the time when the city first came to prominence in the 1800s, this is a nice spot! Staff was professional, food came out quick, and it tasted great!

Visited on a Saturday at lunchtime. We didn’t have reservation but were able to get a bar table. The service was excellent, and the food was absolutely delicious and fresh. Highly recommend!

Had a delicious breakfast. It's located in a fun area of downtown and easy to shop afterwards. Menu offers a lot.

Everything was awesome food, service, staff. I had the Greek Omelet, it had the right combination of flavors and perfect consistency. My partner had the waffle and enjoyed it as well. We will return when we are in Salinas
