Old Monterey Café
489 Alvarado St, Carmel, CA
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Carmel, Old Monterey Café is a charming breakfast and brunch destination where friendly staff keep your coffee cup perpetually full while you linger over standout dishes like their remarkably flavorful crab Benedict and hash-and-eggs combos. The relaxed, dog-friendly patio and eclectic indoor-outdoor spaces make it equally perfect for a solo coffee moment or a leisurely family gathering, though you'll want to double-check your order for accuracy on the details.”

Really nice place. They have a wide range of breakfast and sandwich options. Their crab Benedict is the most flavorful Benny I've had! The eggs and calamari are great. Coffee is good as you would expect for a small cafe. The decor is nice, noise level was calm just as they opened. Didn't have a long wait for the food, and they were quick to refill the coffee.
Very friendly staff! Excellent food! Hash and eggs was a 10 out of 10!
Had a late breakfast and am very happy we chose this place. Leticia was a prompt server and Diego was friendly and kept our coffees full! The food is great and they have dog friendly seating outside.
This is Mexican style standard breakfast restaurant. Service was great. Food is not special but pancake was good!
Cute place with eclectic decor. Inside outside seating. Friendly, efficient service. Had the club house sandwich. Was upcharged 1.75 for Swiss cheese that I never got. Bread was dry and bacon a little too chewy. Fries were good.
