Cappy's Cafe

Finally decided to come in after driving by the amazing establishment in multiple different occasions. During my visit we decided to order the steak and eggs with the home fries & sausage skillet. Everything was delicious and definitely looking forward to our next visit.

I would say that this is my favorite diner in Newport Beach. I say diner because it is like a traditional American diner, not so much a retro diner. It’s located on beautiful 101 in North Newport Beach. Very close to the HB border. Parking is really easy, they have a free lot attached on both sides of the restaurant. Inside is also very large with two different dining areas, as well as many different type of seating options from booth, to table, to counter. The menu is also awesome, it has a lot of unique items on it and it’s the sort of place where you can get something new each time. Our server was very polite but there was a bit of a delay getting our food items out, but it was very busy when we stopped in for Saturday morning brunch. The food quality and taste here really beats out the competition. Everything that we ordered was honestly fantastic. I ordered the Seafood Benny with Wild Caught Crab Meat and switched to the thick cut sourdough toast as the bottom, which I would recommend. The crab was fresh, the hollandaise had great flavor, and the eggs were cooked perfectly. I honestly loved every bit of this dish and would highly recommend ordering it. I am eager to stop in again next time I am down in the OC area.

My husband couldn’t stop raving over what a deal the pancake contest was. So, when we neeIded to be by Huntington one morning -we totally needed to drag the kids for breakfast again. Parking was seamless for us coming just an hour after open, but the parking lot is pretty tight and I can only imagine how packed it could be later on in the day. Spacious dining room with a covered patio in the back for additional seats outside. Typical American Diner vibes, wooden dining sets- TVs with sports channels and a menu that goes on for ages. I had ordered the Corned Beef Hash and Eggs - ($23) - portions are huge here, food was underwhelming. Cold Brew tasted burnt and was lukewarm at best. My husband got their Huevos Ranchero, the only commendable item was the refired beans. Our friend had either eggshells or crab shells in her omelet. Both kids opted for french toast, with a side of bacon. I don’t know who thought crisping the bacon until jerky would have been a good idea for a kids menu item but the kids for once weren’t excited about their bacon. As underwhelming as the food was, our server left more of a sour note than the food. As she was taking 1 cleared plate, while asking for refills on drinks while a majority for the table was still eating. She made a point to ask if we needed any boxes as well while dropping our bill. On her next check in- not even a couple minutes after; she dropped the box on the table and again asked if we needed anything else. By now, we’re checking to make sure there wasn’t a crazy line, or if the restaurant just picked up without us noticing. Several empty tables- with no line. We felt rushed for no reason. Aside from our main server pushing us to leave, the hostess was very warm and inviting. Can’t say i’d be back.

Had to take my aunt to a doc appointment early. I'm not to familiar with this area but found this great place. Food 10/10 service perfect. Just what I needed that morning. I will be returning. Thank you guys for a great breakfast

The food portions are huge and quite tasty; the build your own omelette was stuffed with red peppers, bacon and mushrooms and topped with delicious guacamole. The secret bread: squaw! Will be back!

They have gluten free bread for the sandwiches so be sure to ask for it. I had the tuna melt and it was delicious. I also ordered a side of pickles for it and they were delicious deli style pickle slices. Brunch drinks were solid proportions. Sat outside surrounded by murals. I would definitely come back…hopefully soon!

Came in on Valentine’s Day and we’re lucky enough to snag a table. Breakfast was amazing. Every place I go I always look for corn beef hash, and Cappy’s didn’t disappoint. Really delicious food. Nice and warm in February. Kind staff and servers. Generous portions for the price.

We had a Really good breakfast after surfing this day. This is my partly eaten vegetarin skillet breakfast. It was delicious! Parking was easy as long as you arrive before 8am week days. I highly recommend Cappy's Cafe.
