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.

Excellent food for reasonable prices with friendly service in a roadside cafe. Be sure to have artichokes fried or steamed with your meal. If you just want fish and chips or a burger they also serve that in addition to breakfast items. A …

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...Read More

Moss Landing Café has that charming, welcoming vibe you only get from a great mom-and-pop spot. The menu was full of unique and delicious options you don’t see every day—potato pancakes, fried artichoke hearts, and so much more. The service was just as memorable. Our...Read More

Get the grilled fish of the day; I got sea bass. Accompanied by a steamed artichoke and coleslaw. Clam Chowder was fresh herbed goodness. BF got the Crab/Mushroom/Artichoke omelet with a fresh made carrot muffin. A feast.

We stopped by after our whale watching trip and got the California Eggs Benedict and the Fried Artichoke Hearts and my goodness were they amazing! Best Benedict I've ever had; must be the roasted red pepper hollandaise! Wonderful, friendly atmosphere. Definitely stop here!
