Came here upon a recommendation from a coworker. I have seen this place in past visits to Newport, but had never checked it out. The wait staff was very attentive, courteous. The food was terrific! I ordered the blueberry pancakes, they were delicious. Probably some of the best pancakes if had in a long while.

Had breakfast here the other day really good food extremely greasy so if you like greasy food great if not ask them to maybe use less. Other than that food is great

I have made Cappys a little Sunday tradition with my small growing family. I actually went into labor after eating at Cappys. Now it's a cute story and pretty awesome having my newborn have brunch with us and creating memories and laughter while sharing amazing food.

You honestly can't go wrong with anything on this menu! From their sandwiches.. o their cinnamon swirl French toast!! South of the border menus are on point! Their melts! You get where I am going! They have everything to satisfy your craving!

I tried a few more dishes...

The chicken and waffles unfortunately used premade chicken strips that I didn't care for.

The prime rib melt used quality thin sliced meat that was free of any sinue. The fries would have been better if requested to be cooked well done.

The patty melt cooked Medium was nice and juicy. The onion rings were hand battered and great.

Only had take out this year, but usually we work in a visit on our annual trip to see family. All the breakfast items are great and the staff is welcoming.

1/03/2022

Excellent! Omelette was fantastic. Shelby have great service. They accommodated my food sensitivities. I left with a full, happy, prego tummy and would highly recommend to all people.

Excellent breakfast!

The corned beef hash is made from scratch and amazing. The seasoned breakfast potatoes are a bit soggy, so next time I'll try different potatoes. Their hollandaise sauce is not homemade but it's still pretty good and has a hint of cheese flavor to it.

The strawberry and cream cheese crepes are great but could use extra cream cheese. The bacon unfortunately is very tough and chewy.

The pancakes are nice light and fluffy.

The cinnamon roll french toast is also great. I like to ask for an extra side of frosting.

The breakfast burrito is excellent with nice slightly crispy hash browns inside.

Cozy ambience right near the ocean.

It's a nice little homie type of restaurant.

We got there around 9am, it looks like it was starting to get busy but we got seated right away. The menu offerings was pretty much the standard like any other bfast/brunch spot. They do offer Bottomless mimosas however it's only avail 12p-2p. Christy our waitress was soo nice and attentive.

It didn't take long to get our food. I ordered the Eggs Benedict which comes with a side. The side I ordered was seasoned potatoes with onions. The Benedict was delicious and pretty much what I expected the Benedict to taste.

The waitress staff was very nice and friendly, always checking up on us to make sure we were okay and well taken care of.

The Parking can be difficult as it is a small space. Also when we left (which was around 10) it started to get busy so if u wanna come here, be sure to get here before 10.

12/23/2021

Hi, me and my mom are here and it was bussin. We came here 2 times in one week. I think this place was really good because everyone was super nice and the food was bussin. The lunch and breakfast was outstanding. I like the club sandwich. The pancakes where to die for! Yummy

12/20/2021

Was feeling defeated after leaving the 90 minute wait for The Lighthouse Cafe, then stumbled onto Cappy's Yelp. The waitlist was 5 minutes, which was perfect because I was 5 minutes away. The parking attendant was super helpful in directing the traffic and assisting us into our parking spot. They honored our Yelp waitlist, and had us seated as soon as we parked our car, even though they were bustling with diners. They had outdoor and indoor seating. Once seated, our server took our orders right away, and we got our drinks and food quickly. Everything was delicious as we watched Sunday morning football. My only complaint was sitting right behind a busser drying the cutlery. The clinking and clanking got pretty loud, so I had to sit on my honeys side instead of across from him. The bacon was thick and juicy with crisp exterior, fries with parm were golden, and pancakes were flufOther than that, I left with a happy belly and we got to explore south Laguna afterwards

12/16/2021

Excellent Food here! We were greeted right away by the super friendly staff. So many choices from the menu, I ordered the Blueberry pancakes and season fries, really really good food here!!! The waitress was very good on checking on us, refilling our drinks. We were staying at the Best Western Hotel nearby for a few days, every morning, we would walk over to Cappy's Cafe to start our day with a good breakfast here. Highly recommended!

12/12/2021

BEST breakfast ever! Four of us got four different dishes and we all LOVED it

12/05/2021

We've been craving a skillet dish like we used to get in NYC and Cappys did not disappoint. The vegetable skillet dish with poached eggs was outstanding as
was the perfectly toasted buttered english muffin. We can't wait to return.

11/26/2021

Good one good one really good one....

Good one good one really good one.... Good one good one really good one....

11/24/2021

Delicious food, great location, happy atmosphere, family friendly, outdoor seating, staff hustles - you can tell they are understaffed - they make it easy to write a good review.

11/23/2021

Came here with my family on Sunday. Great food, great service and great people. Will come back again and I would highly recommend

11/23/2021

I always have a great time at Cappys. The service is on point and the food is consistently good. I go at least once a month.

11/21/2021

Came in to grab a bite to eat and have a drink with some friends. Along comes Stephanie with the most bubbly personality, literally made our day. The food here is very good, portion sizes are large and the value is solid. But what sets this place apart from the rest is their fantastic staff and of course Stephanie.

11/15/2021

Amazing food and service. Ordered the French toast and chicken fried steak. The food was spot on and came out quickly. Ask for Stephanie. She is personable and on it.

11/15/2021

Soo yummy!! Best service and such a happy and lovely staff! It was my first time and I'll be back every weekend

11/15/2021

After a fun night last night on a birthday celebration, this morning our group of course had to have brunch at Cappy's! Great food as usual and really was taken well care of by MaryJane...the waitress! Fun personality and cute socks

11/14/2021

Amazing breakfast. First time here and I ordered my favorite breakfast to have, Huevos Rancheros. It was YUMMY! I was very impressed. What impressed me even more, I was able to have my favorite beverage with it. A Mai Tai. LOL!! I know it's not your usual breakfast beverage, but OMG... It was sooo good!! Props to the friendly staff and quick service. Overall, I enjoyed everything about this place. I will be back.

11/12/2021

My office ordered lunch to be delivered and I got the Monte Cristo sandwich. It was absolutely delicious and a very generous serving! Plus very reasonable priced for the amount of food that you receive. I also ordered the fruit cup side and the fruit was fresh and delicious!

11/09/2021

As always I loved the vibe as well as my fish tacos especially when my favorite waitress Monique Fait was able to serve us. The only thing as good as the food, the service, and the vibe is the radio dj. Always my favorites from the 80's and 90s

11/05/2021

Monique was our server today, she did such a great job and was very attentive to us. She went out of her way to make us feel welcome! Great job!

11/05/2021

best breakfast sandwich and amazing service!!! favorite breakfast spot when in need of a good brunch spot!

11/03/2021

Delicious food. Good feelings Ng knowing I'm so close to the beach. Homey feeling wait staff. A winner.

11/01/2021

First time at cappys heard a lot about this cafe, service was good & attentive to the customers. And food was good especially that thick bacon uuumm oh and the bloody Mary's

10/30/2021

So first time here and I was pleasantly pleased. Everything on the menu sounded amazing. I got the stuffed French toast with eggs and sausage and a spicy bloody Mary. Everything was awesome the spicy bacon was a nice touch for the cocktail and the French toast didn't need the syrup, but I still used it. Mac took our cocktail order, Gabby took our food order and everything went smooth as butter.
Only complaint was the heaters outside, it was like 75° and you had heaters blowing. If people are cold they should sit inside. Just saying.

10/29/2021

Cappys was delicious and has good prices. The vegetarian skillet was very good. The staff is nice and the food comes out quick. Stop by Cappys if you are in the Newport Beach area.

10/26/2021

The best breakfast. Make a reservation, it's so good that it stays packed!!! Parking is small so do t bring your 2500HD. You want find a more delicious breakfast

10/25/2021

Fun atmosphere for breakfast! The service is great, and the food and selection is too. Plus their bloody Mary's are good too!

10/23/2021

The best breakfast cafe in SoCal! I was fortunate to experience Cappys on my birthday weekend. I ordered the meat lover omelette (delicious), blueberry pancakes (2stacks and delicious), corned beef has without eggs (stupid cause I should've ordered sunny side up eggs), and some cocktails. The corned beef has was divine. I can't wait to make another reservation. The long wait is worth it and apart of the experience. Parking is limited but so what. Please don't complain and be patient through the process!!!!

10/15/2021

How we went here for breakfast and it was really good they give you a lot of food and the people are really nice and it has a nice view of PCH

9/30/2021

Took my two granddaughters to breakfast and we had a good time in the outdoor dining area where you get a real nice breeze near the water. We enjoyed the French toast and chocolate chip pancakes. The scrambled eggs were not the best. Too much egg white and chopped in small pieces. Have been here many times. Good service.

9/26/2021

My family and really enjoyed the restaurant, food was great and it had a great variety to choose from. Christy our server was prompt, friendly, and on top of our service, even though she was quite busy; what a pro! Restaurant was clean, the parking was ample, we were acknowledged as soon as we walkeand seating was quick. From the welcome to paying our check, service was spot on.

9/23/2021

We have been going to Cappys for years for breakfast. Usually on a Saturday or Sunday morning. We went last weekend and we were
waited on by a young man. It was early in the morning on a weekend. When most young kids would be a little sleepy. This young man was forward thinking, gregarious and actually looked at us in the eyes (in stead of a glance). He was very personable, funny and genuinely cared that we came to Cappys for breakfast, stopping by our booth to ask us how we were doing, how we like our breakfast and to refill our coffee. We stopped on the way out to let someone know how much we appreciated him. His name is Mac. So when you go to Cappys. Ask for Mac. He is awesome.

9/21/2021

I'm sitting under the tent out back with a view of nature. The waitstaff here is amazing friendly and our coffee cups were never empty. Food was the best, good old fashion breakfast, eggs, bacon (crispy just like I like it) and waffles is what I had and it was good, waffles tasted especially good tasted like dad cooked them and my parents could cook.

9/19/2021

Another awesome meal at our favorite breakfast spot. We have been coming here for years. We love the food, the staff, and the decor. I enjoy looking at the wall murals every time. the interior was redone a year or so ago. Over the years we have tried most of the items there mostly breakfast but the burgers and sandwiches too. We have never been disappointed The staff are friendly and helpful. They don't just take care of the tables they are assigned to but all of them. I prefer the skillet for any omelet I order. They make a nice children's pancake that my youngest always has and my other likes the hangover burger. This spot is always enjoyable. The only problem is that it can get really busy so reservations are highly recommend.

9/12/2021

Greatest Chili cheese omelette anywhere. Ask for Lindsey, great service and warm personality.

9/03/2021

Thank-you to everyone at Cappy's Cafe! My family and I had a large, outdoor celebration there on Saturday. We were accommodated in every way possible. We got help with parking and table set-up, and received excellent service. The food was very tasty. Our main server, Jazmin, and ALL of the other helpers were so friendly, kind and efficient. All of our guests had a wonderful time and enjoyed their meals. I was very impressed with how fantastic the experience was; the hosts had no stress at all. Yay!

8/24/2021

Best home cooked like meals. Every time we r in Newport my family goes here! Such an amazing place!

8/23/2021

Best Eggs Benedict EVER!!! I am very picky especially about this dish. Some places don't serve them with much flavor. But Cappy's gets it right! Even the hash browns were cooked well! Hardly ever see that! My server was pleasant, polite and fast. So was the chef! I highly recommend a morning stop here! Left feeling great! Thanks to all!

8/11/2021

My fiancé and I came out and we haven't really emerged a whole lot since the pandemic. It's honestly so refreshing to have great food, great drinks and great service from Jackie! She's so sweet and incredibly informative when it comes to menu items. She gave us the low down on the items we ordered and I'm so grateful to have her as a server. Thanks for working Jackie and for being so incredibly sweet. We had a wonderful time with our bottomless mimosas! Glad to see our favorite local place is still thriving with excellent staff!

8/08/2021

Best chicken fried steak in Southern California. By far. I lived in Texas for six years and it's easily as good as the best there. Come hungry. The Bloody Mary is awesome too. The wait staff is absolutely superlative... very helpful and attentive. I high recommend Cappy's anytime!!

8/06/2021

my wife and I split a breakfast sandwich with avocado and a side of hash browns and sliced tomatoes. The food was excellent. Our server, Christy, was super nice and attentive. The whole staff was very helpful. Great breakfast experience! Thank you!

8/06/2021

Lindsey and Jeanne are very cool! and the food was delicious and the service was great!

8/02/2021

Had a delicious breakfast burrito at Cappys Cafe this morning! We sat outside and it was packed and I walked into the restaurant and it was full! Just goes to show you that Cappys never disappoints! What a fun summer time spot to enjoy a meal! Kate and Tiffany were our servers and they were both bubbly, friendly and helpful!

7/30/2021

Amazing visit today! The food was fresh and very tasty. Kate, the hostess was welcoming and friendly. Our waitress was also perfect. Didn't rush us but also there when we needed her. I'll definitely make this a regular place for breakfast.

7/30/2021

Nothing special on the outside. but once off the PCH (just north of Superior on the right, heading towards HB) and inside, the staff has a glow all their own. We asked for Gabby again, as our only previous time there she was our waitress, and she again put her personality into her service.

Morgan also seems to be another good person to request, as she was most helpful for one of our needs during out lunch.

The fact is, every employee we saw was neat, alert, and appeared truly interested in making our visit pleasant and enjoyable.

Oh, and the food is great, also.

Whether you are tired of service staff just going through the motions or are tired with the same old burgers and fries (although they have that, too), you will not go wrong going to Cappy's Cafe in Newport Beach.

If you have a dedicated driver, you can also come for the bottomless Mimosas and Bloody Mary's from 1 PM to 3 PM daily, although I found the Mary's to be on the spicy side. Cappy's was kind enough to remake a less spicy one when my wife pointed out that I was not drinking it due to my palate being on the less spicy side.
