Wild Plum Cafe Sierra City Reviews
Absolutely LOVE this little place. So good to have found it and to be nearby while staying in the area. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable and so friendly. It is such a welcoming experience to be able to eat all the same things as my family (as a celiac) and to feel safe doing so AND to have the food actually taste good! We ate there 2 times in 3 days.
Excellent! My only regret: that I live so far away and can’t eat here more often. My goddess sandwich and country potatoes were incredible, but there were also many other tempting options that I hope to try on my next visit!
The Atmosphere, service, food and my favorite the COFFEE! Were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING I will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to all my friends and family 💯
Excellent place to enjoy breakfast/brunch in downtown Monterey. We appreciated the selection of vegan/vegetarian options offered by the establishment. The tofu scramble complimented with homemade bread and roasted potatoes were excellent! The cinnamon toast was slightly on the sweeter side for us but good nonetheless.
Wild Plum is easily one of Monterey’s best spots for a high-quality, organic breakfast or lunch. It’s a cozy, eco-conscious gem with plenty of great options for vegans. It can get busy on weekends, but the fresh, scratch-made food is well worth the wait! We hade the Vegan Tofu Scramble Vegan Tofu Veggie skillet ,Avocado toast and Began Breakfast burrito The servings are big and very filling ! Definitely recommend!
Absolutely obsessed with Wild Plum Cafe! I’m on a 10 day road trip through California with my boyfriend, and this was definitely one of the top meals of the whole trip! Delicious flavor in both of our meals, with super fresh and healthy ingredients. The vibe was super comfortable and the staff were very sweet and attentive! Wish I lived nearby to make this place a regular. Highly recommend!!!
This is the best breakfast spot in Monterey!! The service and food was exceptional! I never saw the bottom of my coffee mug because they would always come around to refill your coffee! I got the savory stack and it was delicious. Not many places can poach an egg as well as they did here! Also for the pancakes they bring out real maple syrup which is a big bonus. 10 out of 10
Taste wise the food is amazing very well seasoned and overall a delicious meal. You definitely get your moneys worth I would say even more, the portions are very big. The first time I went I ordered two food items and it was too much for me. The staff were very nice and welcoming. I would absolutely recommend this place to someone who is tired of overpriced mid breakfasts in Carmel.
The best breakfast I’ve ever had — hands down. Wild Plum Café in Monterey completely exceeded my expectations. Every dish tasted fresh, intentional, and full of flavor — clearly made with care and high-quality ingredients. The presentation was beautiful, the portions generous, and the entire vibe cozy yet elevated. The staff were friendly, genuine, and clearly proud of the food they serve, which made the whole experience even better. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down, enjoy your coffee, and just appreciate being there. If you’re anywhere near Monterey, do yourself a favor and eat here — it’s unforgettable.
Great restaurant, I went on a Monday morning around lunch time and they were busy but still so kind and attentive. I ordered the chicken chipotle salad and I was a little afraid that it would be spicy but it was so delicious, the salad was fresh and flavorful. I also ordered a chamomile tea and it was really good quality chamomile. Will definitely come again.
We had a great breakfast experience at this cafe. Professional, friendly staff. They brought ice for the kids' tea, which was great, even though we didn't ask for it. The place is comfortable, fresh flowers on every table, clean and atmospheric. It was the most delicious latte we've had in America, the presentation is very original. Affordable prices - $10-20 per person.
The food was great. I had the Sicilian scramble, which had sun dried tomatoes, compote, chicken Italian sausage, and Italian cheese. The jam they served was homemade. My wife had the avocado toast with the eggs scrambled. They seem to use fresh herbs for the avocado guacamole. It does take awhile, but if you are not in a rush and want to hang out, it's great.
If you’re in Monterey and haven’t been to The Wild Plum, you’re missing out on a true gem! My recent visit left me completely blown away. The food is absolutely sensational—everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can tell they take pride in sourcing quality ingredients. The service? Impeccable. The staff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what they do. What made our visit extra special was the owner. They were so warm and pleasant, personally taking our order and even recommending a custom dish that wasn’t on the menu. It ended up being the highlight of our meal! The Wild Plum is more than a restaurant—it’s an experience. I can’t recommend it enough and will definitely be returning on my next trip to Monterey. Five stars all the way!
Friendly and attentive staff. Basil frittata was jam packed with flavors and very cheesy The eggs in the sun tried tomatoes steamer were so fluffy. Loved the combination of goat cheese with the sun dried tomatoes. Country potatoes on both dishes were crispy yet soft.I personally like a salty potato so I had to add salt, but appreciate that not everyone does so think it’s a good move to let people control that. Pancakes had a great flavor and the roasted apples added a nice touch. Initially thought $6 was a lot for a latte, but when it showed up in a large bowl I pleasantly surprised and glad we only ordered one. It was smooth a creamy. Would definitely visits again, great flavors and textures!
Enjoyed a lot. At first thought it was overpriced but you get a lot for what's ordered. I enjoyed my omelette. Very different but it was great. Everything looked great. Would suggest giving customers salt and pepper automatically or leaving on table. They serve tap water. Wasn't used to the taste of the tap water here, as we were visiting out of state. Did not like that at all.
Staff was very nice!! Food was amazing!! We gotten whole grain waffles with a side of potatoes 🔥👌 I recommend stopping by here for a great place to eat!!
I get the idea people normally have a better experience here than we did, so maybe it was just a fluke. I ordered a dish that came with bacon, so when the server asked if I wanted meat I said just bacon, and they charged me to add extra bacon... Also husband ordered no dairy/cheese on his sandwich which they honored but then they put cheese on his side salad... The atmosphere was cute. My food was yummy. Mixed feelings about this place I guess and not a great experience while on vacation in the area.
I hate to leave negative reviews, but felt this mornings experience warranted it. We ordered a couple food items as well as a couple drinks. When we went in to pick everything up the drinks were missing, no big deal, it happens. We tell the server, who told the barista. The barista then gave the server a ton of nasty attitude right in front of the whole cafe, and said our drinks were going to have to wait. The server looked pretty shocked by the outburst (and rightfully so), and asked us to come back to get the drinks. Okay, weird but sure. We come back ten minutes later, get the drinks. We get back to our place, and open our food and start to eat. I quickly realize my burrito which was marked as plant based (we haven’t had meat or dairy in over 8 years, eating it at this point would absolutely destroy our stomachs for the day), is full of regular eggs, cheese, and meat, this is after we verbally confirmed with them it was the plant based burrito. We called and they said yes they were aware of the mix up….. but they didn’t try to reach out to us. They were quick to give us a refund for the burito, but only after I asked for it. They did apologize, which is the only reason I didn’t give them only one star. My wife’s order was made correctly, but had zero taste. The coffee was decent. And if anyone needs follow up on the stomach issue, I did indeed spend quite a bit of time in the restroom after.
I visited Plum Café for lunch and left feeling disappointed. When we arrived, the café was empty except for one couple who were already seated and enjoying their drinks. We were told to choose any table, which seemed like a great start. Things changed quickly after that. Although we were the first guests seated, we were the last to receive menus. Our table was in a corner and it became clear that we were being overlooked. The couple who arrived before us already had drinks, which made sense, but guests who came in after us were greeted, served, and checked on long before anyone returned to our table. Once the café filled up, the service gap became impossible to miss. Every group that arrived during the rush was seated, helped, and given their food before us. We never received ours. The drink service added to the frustration. We asked for water. Our glasses stayed empty through the entire visit while other tables received refills, new coffees, and steady attention. We waited about forty five minutes and never got anything more than water. When we noticed we had 10 minutes before we had to return back to work, we notified the staff and left with an empty stomach. It felt embarrassing to sit unnoticed while the café grew busier and every other party was helped. I understand that service can get hectic, but the pattern was difficult to ignore. It was hard not to miss that certain guests received quick and friendly attention while we continued to wait without any updates. In the world we live in today, moments like this stand out. I wanted to enjoy this café because the space is charming and the menu looked promising. Instead, we left feeling ignored and unwelcome. I hope this was an isolated experience, but it was disappointing enough that we may not return.
