What User likes about Old Monterey Cafe:

My grandson enjoyed his breakfast with excellent thick bacon and a chocolate chip pancake. My granddaughter had a part of the child with oats and fresh fruit, which was a great part of a child's meal. We'll go back when we're in Monterey. View all feedback.

Good vibe, nice staff, but hollandaise sauce is falling apart and crab is not the freshest the benedict.
