Review Cappy's Cafe - Newport Beach

Rob Owen
Here on a short weekend, you never know if a place can live up to the hype - but I came for brunch and was delighted. The people were friendly, very attentive, and efficient. The food was *amazing* and I wish I could stay longer to try more things from the extensive menu. Pics added here with my review are what's left of Benny Pacific Coast Highway style, and cinnamon roll french toast. Please to enjoy.

I just LOVEDDDD this place and can't wait to come back! I was having a rough start to my day, but between the parking attendant, service staff, and the AMAZING Monte Cristo, my day became perfect. This whole team was welcoming, stress-free (regardless of being incredibly busy), and their teamwork and support for one another was recognizable. I've not experienced such joy at a diner before. Not to mention, my own joy devouring my meal! Please come support and enjoy Cappys!!!!! I sure will again!

Wow, Great food and service! My husband had The biggest chicken fried steak he has ever had. Everything tasted great, and was made of quality ingredients.

Great little hometown type breakfast diner! Generous portions....lots of choices. Between us we had French Toast & pancakes....which you can up size with a side of eggs & bacon or sausage. There were also lots of omelettes and " Benny" choices! Service was fast and efficient! Think old time diner! Colorful walls with artistic depictions of the local Newport area!

Local diner and breakfast spot that's been around for years and year. Love the breakfast selection. You will too.

Cappy's was amazing. We had about 13 in our party. Cappy's was very accommodating. We used the online table reservation but because of the size of our party we could not use the online reservation so we called and explained and they were very helpful reserving a table for us. The food was great, portions were favorable. Shown is the cinnamon bun french toast combo with eggs, sausage and bacon (thick), chiliquilla and corned beef hash with home fries loaded with onions, green peppers and cheese. The CBH was home made, not from a can and delicious. It was served over bread. The home fries were excellent. The chiliquilla was a little soggy from maybe sitting too long before it was delivered, but it was still very good. The menu had a lot of options to choose from. Everyone was very happy with their orders and had a great time. The service was excellent. Christie was our main server and she did an amazing job keeping up with our large group.

A cold and rainy day warmed up with good coffee and food. Ample portions offered at reasonable prices. A wide range of breakfast (and lunch) choices. There is literally something for anyone. Waitstaff were all lovely and friendly. Perfect breakfast stop.

Cappies is my favorite breakfast spot in Orange County, CA! I especially love their Benedicts, but I swap the bacon for pattie sausage, and I like it better that way. Their hollandaise sauce is to die for and their biscuits and gravy is super yummy, too! My boyfriend really enjoyed his French Toast breakfast, as well! Service is fast and friendly…I just wish they were open for dinner!

I have been eating at Cappys for about 25 years! I have never yet had a bad meal! Still amazes me that they can have so many diverse and great tasting items on the menu and all at fair prices! Also, their buttermilk pancakes are second to none. Whenever I try breakfast at any other restaurant, I will at least order a side of their buttermilk pancakes and compare them to the buttermilk pancakes you get at Cappy’s! I have friends who play this same game with me! We still have not found any pancakes better than what Cappys serves! If someone else thinks they have a contender, I welcome them to let the rest of us know. Meanwhile, always order a side of buttermilk pancakes at Cappys and share with your table! You will be glad that you did!

Great food.... have a lot of Seafood on their menu but it's the Beach so I guess it was to be expected�. Lots of other choices too for those of you like me who do t care for seafood!!! We had the chili cheese omelette and it was great with fruit cup that had apples, bananas, pineapple & watermelon as well as that dreaded green melon.... everything was very fresh....
Jessica Cerda
I had the strawberry banana crepes and the eggs benedict, my hubby had biscuits and gravy and an omelette, all was amazing! Best home fries ever, with white onion and green onion, seasoned to perfection! Best breakfast I've had in a long time! Service was great too! The painted murals on the wall are very nice touch as well! Love this place!

This is a yearly tradition with our family and we love this place. Great food, excellent staff and prompt service. It can be very busy but it is worth the wait.

Cort Thompson
Excellent Breakfast. Definitely a locals favorite. Good food, good service. Very Busy, so you may have to wait a few minutes . . . Definitely worth waiting.

Cappy'y pancakes are the best I've ever had! It's a nice stack of three large pancakes that I couldn't finish, you get a lot of food for a fair price, the wait staff are friendly and fast , even when at full capacity . I've been greeted and sent off with a smile . If you've never been, you're missing out!

This was a great place to eat. I had corned beef hash (homemade) and it was delish. Their potatoes are also great. The service was very good. I sat outside and could feel the ocean breeze. Wonderful experience.
Michelle Clements

Best breakfast in town. Walked in, got a smile, a booth, menus, water, and coffee - all within a minute. The waitresses all seemed very well trained.<br/>Food came quickly and was excellent breakfast fare.<br/>Certainly well recommended from me!

I just moved here from a smaller town and have been looking for a place that served food just like some of my favorite places where I used to live. And this really hit the spot!! Came here for brunch and it was delicious!! Friendly staff too! Definitely recommend!

Should be renamed Crappy's. The egg whites were runny, the pancakes heavy and grainy, the syrup corn syrup, the coffee tasted like dishwater, the house potatoes were old and grey without any taste, and the bacon was tough and greasy. For a $30.00 breakfast something should be good, alas, no. The one exception was the wait staff, they were very nice.

Best breakfast in Newport. Service great...eggs perfectly cooked (moist, not dry)...and the people nice! have eaten here many times when in town and plan to go back!
Howard Sublett
Good diner fare. After passing this place several times and always seeing a full parking lot, I decided to stop in for breakfast. <br/><br/>Eclectic beachy interior with wildly painted walls and waitresses in tank tops might be a slight shock to the senses. The menu is enormous with more omelet choices that I may have ever seen. <br/><br/>I settled on the California omelet that was overstuffed with fresh tomatoes, avocado, crispy bacon and topped with melted cheddar cheese. There was easily 3x more filling than egg, and it was great!<br/><br/>I'd be interested to try the lunch. Only open from 6am - 3pm, try going during the week or you can expect a long line.

Best breakfast place. Lived in SoCal for 17 years. Will always go back for breakfast whenever I return. The Chili Cheese omelette with the parmisian potatoes are incredible! Have not been in a few years, I hope it is still the same.
Sophiecee
Best breakfast I've ever had, great service and amazing waffles, try to get there early for breakfast as it does get packed after 10am. By far my favourite breakfast place in new port!
Cyndy Kerr
They are super awesome. The food is good mimosas are great. I couldn't be happier right now
Cory J.
Try the corned beef hash. A greasy spoon with some amazing corned beef hash. Only open for breakfast and lunch. The portions are huge but the service is just OK (the fit waitresses don't seem to think they need to earn their tips). Prices are reasonable. A bit of clogged sink whiff coming from the kitchen on my last visit, yuck. Still, I will return for the corned beef.
Bruce Stribling
Hot food and hot waItresses.

Disappointing I've been coming here for 20 years now and I have to say it's not what it used to be. Yes they still have young waitresses that are nice to look at but it seems they aren't paying attention to the details anymore. My potatoes and onions had the tough outer onion skin still intact, my plate looked like it was used as an ashtray before I got it with my omelet on it. My wife got hotcakrs and the butter lump on top was shoved into the stack (why?) and on the butter were a lot of black chunks of I don't know what. Whe I politely complained to the waitress she,"yeah I see what you mean about the plate" and the walked away. She didn't apologize or attempt to make anything better. When I told the manager upon leaving the restaurant he told me they had automatic dishwashers. I told him that my plate was not in serving condition. I felt nothing but apathy from the staff as they are quite busy due to there location and fond memories of the way things used to be by the locals. I won't be back. Try Plum's or Side Street Cafe in East Side Costa Mesa instead.

Best breakfast ever!!! And the service was great too!!! Try the ham, sausage and bacon omellate!!!
