Mission Cafe in San Juan Bautista



Mission Cafe is the real deal. Having no idea how long this restaurant has actually been in business, my guess would be 60 years and counting. Even if it only opened last month, it hearkens back to a time when diners first started. All the patrons seemed to know one another and the wait staff. It was one big happy family from what I could gather, but this iconic, small town, gathering place welcomed strangers. And that was a good thing for two San Franciscans traveling down the coast and hungry for breakfast.

Pancakes, these were also the real deal, tasting homemade instead of like a commercially manufactured restaurant mix. No matter how many pancakes I have eaten, most of them have been made from packaged mixes and few of them were exceptional in taste. Mission Cafe makes exceptionally good pancakes, so good, we are planning on making Mission Cafe our first stop on our next journey to Southern California.
