The Peach Cafe — Restaurant in Monrovia

I don’t recommend here bad experience lately It’s so sad that my family and I have been coming here for over 10 years and lately been treated wrong ! The idea that they complain over salads is INSANE!! I have allergies and I always get alterations on my salad for a long time then all of a sudden it’s a huge problem!!!

It started back a few months ago when the OWNER CHRIS…yea don’t forget he’s the OWNER!! He will make it clear so get it right! …anyways, he came up to us very rude two months ago in front of all the customers saying we make the job harder and need to be mindful of how we order… he is just very disrespectful and never come out and greet customers or say thank you..just unprofessional He just rolled up the receipt he showed us that he was complaining about and left…sooo anyways I was furious I did not want to come back but my sister went back and supposedly he said it was ok and he didn’t mean what he said BUT!!! Today however (2 months later) I ordered the salad and everything seemed cool until the busboy, mind you not the manager comes out and talk to my mother takes her outside and said that the chef (The owner) is talking about you guys and he doesn’t want you to make any alterations!!! Mind you he sent him maybe because he was a blank man, which was very rude of him. My mom was so mad and didn’t even eat her food. After the owner never came out to say anything else to us and I felt he was just ghetto for this situation .A dishwasher IS not responsible to do manger duties!! This was a coward move!! And I felt that we were embarrassed twice!!! All this over some salad ??? Really ??? Wow so sad!! Over some lettuce??? with toppings that we cannot eat because of our allergies and health conditions? Wow don’t make any changes here you may commit a crime!!! And Monrovia PD may come get you WOWWWW crazy…

It’s very dysfunctional obviously and it ruined all the times we supported this business!! When the entire time it wasn’t worth it!! I never felt so unequal until today!!! Mind you all over some lettuce lol just crazy to me!! To be berated and disrespected for no...

I came for a mid-morning birthday brunch with my friend after years of wanting to give Peach Café a try. While parking was extremely hard to find - right next to the Krikorian theater in Monrovia, there was no wait and we were able to pick our own seats (outdoor or indoor seating).

Restaurant ambience is pretty nice. Open drink area where you can watch them make drinks as well as an upper level that leads to the kitchen. There are some small tables and a few long tables and benches for larger parties as well. I really liked the set-up of the café. Very cozy and warm with a familiar and comfortable vibe to it.

For the food, I think they have a different menu for the weekends, so I was a little disappointed that I didn't see the Peach Café Benedict on the menu. I opted for the Peach omelet instead, which came with half a waffle. They had a few choices, but I chose the Belgian waffle which comes with strawberries. My friend was vegetarian and ordered some type of egg dish that also came with half a waffle. He asked for blueberries to go with the waffle, and the waitress didn't bat an eye. It would have been nice if she had told us that blueberries were an extra dollar!

I thought the omelet was really good. It had smoked ham, peppers, tomato, scallions, and pepper jack. Lots of flavor, and the pepper jack really added a kick to the overall dish. I do think I would be willing to try the omelet again. As for the Belgian waffle - it was really soft and had a salty taste that I wasn't expecting. I didn't really like it, and the strawberries didn't add much to it. It was really dry and not too tasty.

Overall, I wouldn't mind coming back. I'm glad I tried it once, but I won't be in a hurry...

I came here a few months ago for brunch with a couple friends and was sadly disappointed. I remember really liking this place when I tried it years ago but unfortunately the food we got this time did not meet expectations.

I tried the following: PEACH CAFE BENEDICT: Our hickory-maple waffle, smoked ham, 2 eggs & Mornay cheese sauce -- This was a brunch special and I learned yet again that the classic Eggs Benedict should not be messed with. The waffle was decent but I did not like the cheese sauce that it came with. I have a very meh memory of this dish. BOURBON SWEET POTATOES: Sweet potatoes cooked up with sugar, butter and a pour of bourbon -- The description sounded good but sadly the execution was not. First off, why are there nuts on top?! Luckily they were just a topping so my friend scooped up the top part and took it for herself (since I have a nut allergy). But I ended up not wanting any of my dish after taking a bite. It was a tasteless mash; my friend (who ordered the same thing) was even tempted to send it back. SCALLOPED POTATOES: Thin sliced russet potatoes with cream, spices, nutmeg and cheese -- My friend ordered this after tasting the disappointment that was the bourbon sweet potatoes. This is definitely much better; get this if you want a potato side instead of the sweet potatoes.

Apart from the disappointing food the cafe is great. Since it's in Monrovia there is plenty of free street parking. There was a bit of a wait since this is a popular Sunday brunch spot, but that was to be expected. They have one restroom which is fairly clean. And our server was nice and friendly. Sorry Peach Cafe for having to give you...
