“ So glad we tried this spot. Cute little house converted to a restaurant. Service was excellent and so was the food. They have Mexican and American selections. The chorizo and machaca were the best we've had. ”

“ This is such a cute and quaint cafe. Discovered it on Yelp while visiting Capitola and am so glad we decided to check it out. I ordered the Eggs Benedict and my wife had the Breakfast Burrito. Both were phenomenal and we both were beyond satisfied with our selections. I also love how fast and attentive the service was. We were really hungry when we arrived, so we truly appreciated how fast we were seated and received our food. I definitely recommend checking out Avenue Cafe for breakfast whenever you find yourself in Capitola! ”

“ Have to go here every trip. I always look at the menu options but will just get the Carnitas eggs Benedict, so good. Also like to get a carafe of Mimosas. ”

“ Cute cafe in the Capitola Village. Sat in patio and the weather was beautiful! Had the most amazing cup of coffee and the food was delicious and very filling. Had an amazing waitress who was easy to talk to and gave us some information on the town. Would definitely recommend the cafe if you're ever in Capitola! ”

“ In a word: OBSESSED. We stopped here spontaneously while on a road trip and cannot express enough how happy we are to have found it! We came in on a Saturday around lunch and snagged one of the last free tables. Every staff member was super attentive and quickly gave us menus, water, and coffee. We love to ask for staff favorites off the menu and multiple people offered their input. Every dish that passed us looked incredible and we made a list of items to try the next time we come in. I ended up ordering the tuna sandwich with a side salad and it was amazing. I wanted to come back for another the next day! My husband ordered the huevos rancheros and he said they were standard and good. He LOVED the side of hash browns he ordered. Those were his favorite part! My favorite part of this restaurant was the atmosphere. It's a tiny converted house, so the kitchen is right next to you (if dining inside). You get a great view of all the delicious dishes being made. It's a little noisy, but it's top-notch vibes. So many of the customers were regulars. When the door opened, staff would greet them by name and the customers would ask staff where they were the day prior, etc. That's the kind of restaurant I want to eat at for the rest of my life--end of story. Avenue Cafe, you're perfect. Don't ever change! ”

“ It's small, lacks ambience and you may need to wait for seating... But the food was great, service was quick, prices are reasonable and the location is close to the ocean and shops. Given the constraints (size and generally challenging environment for hiring restaurant workers) it's tough to expect more than what you get at Avenue Cafe. 5 stars for doing the most they could. ”

“ If you're looking for a no-frills, down-home diner experience, Avenue Cafe is your spot. This place is as casual as it gets and the service is friendly and welcoming. Now, I will admit that I wasn't blown away by their hashbrowns. I mean, let's be real - who likes mushy hashbrowns? But hey, everyone has their own taste, so don't let my opinion stop you from giving them a try. What I did love, though, were their benedicts. Holy moly, these things were delicious! They've got a few different options to choose from, including classic, salmon, and veggie, or southern, so there's something for everyone. And their egg was perfectly poached, you know that's my weakness! Overall, Avenue Cafe is a solid choice for a no-frills breakfast or brunch. It's not fancy, but it's got a laid-back vibe that's perfect for a lazy weekend morning. Great walking distance to Capitola village too if you wanna walk off the food afterward. ”
