This place has the best cakes I’ve ever had. every single time I pass by arrive in this direction I have to stop by. Stop by as early as possible because they sell out especially of the toffee crunch cake. I have gone back on several occasions looking for it and it has been sold out. However, all of their cakes are really good and the quality is unbelievable that atmosphere is also great and the staff is always amazing
I made a reservation 1 week in advance. I was able to adjust the quantity of people twice. I ordered the cake, [Famous Pink Champagne flavor], and they were able to serve it for our desert. The drinks were wonderful and the food was delicious. Luckily, the day we reserved, there was a love group. We were celebrating my niece's sweet 16, and the group played a special song so she could dance with her father. They night went so smooth, it was so memorable that I couldn't have asked for the night to be better. The service was wonderful, and the ambiance so fitting for the occasion even though it was a regular night for them. Thank you, Madonna Inn.
Great pink/gold seating and decor. So whimsical and retro. The breakfast was yummy - and there were PINK sugar shakers on the table! - but the real showstopper is the cakes & cookies. OMG seriously. The pink champagne cake is world famous for a reason. You get a HUGE slice that is delicious and looks so pretty. We made a reservation for breakfast, and so we were seated right away. They do take walk ups, but I'd imagine it may get busy during certain hours, so making a reservation is always a safe beat. And you can just stop in for some cookies/cake/pies/bakery items to-go as well. Highly recommend!
Overall a great choice for tasty food. During our 2 meals there, we found wait times once seated to placing orders was casual-slow being passed by our wait person several times. Yet they were all very nice and thorough once the service started

The vent above each place we sat was long overdue for cleaning. Nothing dropped onto our table. The overall superb cleanliness of the Cafe needs the maitence staff to help by cleaning the vents.
Great stop along the way between Los Angeles and San Francisco. It's a beautiful inn with a delicious cafe. I would absolutely recommend stopping for a meal. They also have a decadent selection of cakes. Oddly, they're known for very well-themed rooms and that extends to a famous restroom they have; ask the staff where it's located. Ordered a roast beef dip sandwich with au jus and also a chocolate cake slice. Also ordered a pink champagne cake slice as well for the road. All of these cake slices are best shared with a group of at least 4. It's quite a hefty cake slice with a beautiful presentation and a taste to match.
Beautiful cakes and decorations, especially at Christmas (see photos)!
We use their cakes for every occasion. My sister even used these cakes as her wedding cake and they were a delicious, beautiful, and reasonably priced alternative!
This place was everything we expected it to be. Great food in a ridiculously elaborate setting. Our server had a great personality with lots of little quips. Our food came out in a timely manner and tasted great! We even splurged and tried the giant banana split! Highly recommended restaurant! Be sure to check out the different shops upstairs and the wine cellar downstairs.
No reason for me to give a less-star review. We went there over the Memorial Day weekend and they were super busy. Luckily we got seated at the bar without having to wait for half an hour. Obviously every server was overwhelmed and rushed, but they were doing their best. Food tastes great and portion is huge. We had to ask for to go box. We had breakfast and did not have the opportunity to try dinner this time. I'm an espresso person but in terms of brewed coffee, their coffee is great!
Great pink setting/decor
Friendly staff and yummy food. Good selection on menu. Big bathroom. Made reservations and was seated asap.
This place has a history that's worth checking out. If you like the color pink, you will be in heaven here. Try the pink cake, don't worry because it's light and not overbearing. They used a whipped cream frosting, so my wife and I were able to eat it and not feel guilty about it. We enjoyed our breakfast here.
