First time visiting this little place, but we have been visiting this owners other restaurants over the years, first when she owned the Courtyard Deli, then she moved out to Sebastian's across the highway from Hearst Castle, don't remember the name of that one. We have visited both restaurants since she left, but neither one can hold a candle to what they once were. The Cafe may seem pricey at first glance, but when you get your sandwich you can see why, it's huge, easily enough for two people. They always have the freshest ingredients from the meats to the produce. I heard she just sold the restaurant as she is getting tired and is going to retire. I only hope the new owners can keep the magic she brings to every restaurant she opens. We wish her the best of luck in her retirement. There is usually a line waiting to order, but that's because this is the best sandwich/salad place around.

Every morning when I visit Cambria I go to the French Corner Bakery. I get me some yummy treat for breakfast, some of their delicious coffee then go and have my treats and watch the ocean. The staff have always been more then helpful and friendly. Service is fast. I have never had a bad item from this Bakery, and it is consistent year after year. They open at 6:30 a.m, which is great for an early riser.

Wine Tasting Room by Day & Restaurant by Night! I think one of the best ways to get the full experience of Madeline's is to visit our open daily wine tasting room where you can try some of the best boutique wines that the central coast has to offer and then finish off your custom wine tasting with dinner in our full service dining room! We thank you for spending a few moments on our website and hope you enjoy all that the central coast has to offer. See you soon! David - Chef/Owner

6. Linn's Easy As Pie Cafe

Reviewed By BCS41 - Brisbane, Australia
We had stayed in Cambria for a few days and done some sight seeing in the morning before returning to Cambria around lunch time. After being away from Australia for nearly a month and without a meat pie fix, we thought that might be solved when we saw the sign for Linn's Easy as Pie Café, so went in and asked if they had meat pies. Luck would have it that it was a Saturday and they only did meat pies on Saturdays.
It got even better when asked if we wanted mash and gravy with our pies.
There were more than a few oohs and aahs from us as we enjoyed our lunch.

Reviewed By Hatula83 - London, United Kingdom
Our little family of 3 loved Lily's Coffee House. We had tea, soy cappuccino, homemade scones, and breakfast burritos, which were a simple but best combination of corn tortillas, eggs, cheese and avocados. The food is home made, fresh, prepared by the owner lady, yummy and totally worth it. The cafe is family-run. We loved it! Very good breakfast, not easy to find in US, where you have a lot of unhealthy, commercial, fast food. Enjoy. Highly recommended.

My hubby was so impressed with his eggs benedict he insisted its the best he’s ever had. My burger was absolutely to die for! We ate so quick I couldn’t get a picture. The service was amazing and we got our food so quick! Lovely patio with such a great atmosphere and vibe. One of our favorite places we visited in Cambria!

We made reservations for two, and were promptly seated when we arrived. The inside is very pleasantly low-lit and laid back. Our server was happy and gracious, but we would have appreciated the customary check-in after our food was served, to make sure everything was okay. We got the special seafood of the day-Arctic Char w/pineapple beurre blanc, wild rice, steamed broccoli. Plus, a rib eye med-rare, smashed Yukon Golds, buttermilk straw onion sticks, steamed broccoli. The Char was a generous piece, and phenomenal with that sauce, and the rib eye was a big, fat, boneless cut at least 2"-2 1/4" thick, not the usual ~1" long slab of steak. It was done to perfection. The sides were great. My sauvignon blanc selection paired perfect with the fish. Dessert was a slice of house made key lime pie. Sweet and tart and fresh with a nice, crumbly graham cracker crust. $94, pre-tip. i highly recommend and will definitely try to return.
