Crema's Take

The Cook House is a beloved neighborhood gem where regulars camp out with their books and Sunday morning feels linger all week long—it's the kind of family-owned breakfast spot where you genuinely want to become a regular. Their no-fuss, home-style cooking arrives hot and generous, backed by fresh coffee and genuinely warm service that makes you feel like you're eating at someone's kitchen table, though arrive early since this cozy spot fills up fast.

Omg so hilarious cause the man sitting reading was seriously there doing the same thing when I went lol. This place has a down home vibe similar to breakfast at grandma's house on a Sunday morning. They have a lot of old timers who regularly come in and I find out heartwarming.

Home-style food with the corresponding atmosphere. Very welcoming and cozy. Popular, so no seats were available when we came, had to wait a little. Make sure to come before 1:30 PM

Delightful little small business owner operated breakfast diner. Food was good and plentiful, coffee was hot and fresh and the service was great. We didn’t wait at all for a table and the other customers were all locals. They know!!

The best neighborhood spot in Capitola to grab breakfast. It’s an old fashioned mom and pop diner with all the classics and good portions. We had the two egg breakfast and the two egg omelette with avocado and cheese. Both were delicious and filling. I found out today that our server, Carol, has been there for 47 years! Everyone there works like a well oiled machine. Our family is new to the area so it was nice to feel welcome.

This place is amazing! If I lived here I would come everyday. Really small, family owned breakfast restaurant. Kind of a dive - IN A GOOD WAY! Fast service, food is excellent and the owner is the waitress. Places like this are hard to find and this is one in a million. Highly recommended for a great breakfast.
