Cafe Del Monte

Cunningham Rd, Pacific Grove, CA

★★★★4.3(36 Google reviews)

Crema's Take

Cafe Del Monte is a reliable spot for a quick breakfast or lunch grab with solid daily specials and fresh prepared salads, though the high prices don't quite match the food quality. The friendly service is a real bright spot, but the dining experience gets muddled by overlapping music and TV noise that makes it hard to enjoy your meal. If you're in Pacific Grove and want something convenient with decent pastries and traditional coffee drinks, it's an acceptable choice—just manage your expectations and maybe grab it to go.

The food is fine, not great and certainly not worth the price, but acceptable. The service is great, but the atmosphere is awful. Turn the TVs and music down, they're all merging together and making a terrible din that spills out into the courtyard

Always good place to have good food. They also have daily specials which is nice.

Great premade salad for a decent price ($12). They also had a premade Caesar salad as well as a few other wraps and sandwiches.

I'm not really a fan, the food is fine, but not great. The price is high when compared to the quality of the food, IMO. There is no other competition on base (more or less), so I think they're just a bit complacent. If you do get something, usually the special of the day is most worthwhile. The burgers are not good, dry, almost no flavor, too much bread. The people are work there are always nice, and have a smile, I would've left a review years ago if it weren't for that, and that's the primary reason I give it 3 stars vs only 2. I think if the base would allow competing options, the complacency would go down and the price/quality ratio would improve.
