After dropping off our son for his first day of kindergarten, my wife needed a mimosa to help her adjust. It was our first time at Moss Landing Cafe and we were extremely happy with our visit. We shared a bowl of Clam Chowder(which may have been my favorite ever) and some French fried artichokes(delicious!) It was early, but the breakfast crowd had already started bubbling in. We were lucky to find a parking spot and an open table immediately. The staff were cheerful and friendly. The restaurant was very small, quaint, and clean. I can’t say enough how reflective the cafe is of Moss Landing culture and vibe. Can’t wait to return!

Local Cafe within walking distance of the annual Moss Landing Street Fair. Had the California Eggs Benedict, which was delicious. There's no air conditioning so it can get a bit stuffy when it's packed. Service is a little slow but friendly. Nice to have a sit down restaurant. Definitely better than eating outdoors from the food trucks.

Service was wonderful, food was tasty. Best hashbrowns I've ever had at a restaurant! Coffee was pretty great, too! Cute little place off the beaten path. Lots of options for breakfast. Great options for lunch, too. Very clean, welcoming, and overall delightful.

Nice breakfast right off hwy 1 but still quiet and quaint. Breakfast tasted good, and service was very friendly. If I could pick a nit I would have like for a better presentation of the food. It was a bit too 'homey' in terms of appearing appetizing.

Very casual atmosphere with good selection of food for breakfast and lunch. I had the eggs Benedict with canadian ham, and roasted red pepper hollandaise sauce. Very good. Comes with hash browns.

Nice fresh seafood. Fish n chips fresh crisp and tasty. Oysters on the half shell both bbq baked and raw were excellent. An added bonus is clear view of the Moss Landing power plant where a battery fire occurred earlier this year. This idyllic seaside area doesn’t really need a battery facility that can and did cause local environmental harm.

The sweet and spicy calamari had amazing sauce, the jalapeño peppers were spicy, the fish and chips were tasty good size serving, fried artichokes were very yummy, the skirt steak was tender but a little over marinated. Beer was nice and cold.
