Great breakfast and lunch food. But come hungry because portions are big. Service was awesome. Definitely will be back!
We love having breakfast at the Wave Street Cafe when visiting Monterey. This time was with the mother in law and she loved it as we did. My wife had the Norwegian omelette with salmon, mom had a denver omelette and I had the chorizo scramble and all were great. The table next to us had their “little” puppy with them and he was so mellow! As you can figure, they’re dog friendly as are a lot of the area restaurants
We went here for Benedict, and we were satisfied. I got the heirloom tomato and wife got the portabella. I added Canadian bacon to mine (I think all Benedict should have ham and tomato). Both of them were outstanding, with the heirloom Benedict being the best of the two.
We would go back if we were here longer. I'm sure the rest of the food is amazing.

Wow!!! What a wonderful little place. Quiet, peaceful, excellent service and food. From the beautifully crafted hot chocolates to the delicious and artfully presented breakfast dishes. Glad we stumbled on this gem during a much-to-brief stop in Monterey.
Brunch with a view of the beach. The customer service was great. The food was somewhat of a miss. The first time we visited the flavors were a bit better. But the outdoor seating area is nice & mellow.
Wow what a gem, we were lucky enough to spot it on our afternoon walk the day before. The next morning we were looking for a good sit down breakfast spot with a wait staff and good kids options. Wave Cafe' was GREAT we were seated pretty quickly and were tended to right away. the sound level was acceptable and they had many kids options.
The Wave Street Cafe is a cute restaurant that has reasonable prices for a lunch in Monterey. The best thing about this place is the ocean view! But their food was delicious too. I ordered the fish tacos. I love how it came with a big salad and home made garlic croutons. The fish tacos were fine but could have used a bit more flavor. My friend had the fish and chips. She was worried it would be fishy but it was not. She also had the choice of three different kids of fish. She thought the fish needed more flavor in the breading, but the chips part of this dish were super delicious! They were perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft with a light texture on the inside. We definitely recommend this place!
We keep coming back day after day. The food is so amazing! The menu is huge and we have yet to order anything that wasn't yummy! The view of the ocean is awesome, and the staff is so helpful and polite. On colder mornings, they'll have heaters outside for you. They have lots of drink selections, alcoholic and non-alcoholic.
