First Awakenings Website

First Awakenings is a restaurant in Pacific Grove near the Monterey Bay Aquarium that serves Breakfast, Brunch, and Lunch. They are located in the Outlet center. We wanted to find a cheaper less touristy place for breakfast. They serve breakfast items as well as salads, burgers, and sandwiches. We had to wait 30 minutes to get in as the place was packed.

First Awakenings Pacific Grove 4

Decor, Vibe – Big patio outside, airy inside with lots of hanging plants. Lots of locals and tourists getting breakfast.

Picks:

First Awakenings Pacific Grove Siesta Cocktail

Siesta Key Cocktail ($6.49) – Yogurts, granola, raisins, nuts, fruit with a English muffin was very good. A nice mixture of healthy items that blended together well.

OK:

First Awakenings Pacific Grove Pancakes

Mickey Pancake ($4.75) came with bacon. Pancakes were of average quality.

First Awakenings Pacific Grove French Toast

Texas French Toast ($4.50) with fruit was pretty big. Decent quality.

Pans:

First Awakenings Pacific Grove Sausage

Turkey Sausage Links ($3.29) tasted terrible. They are low in cholesterol, but better you’d be better off if did not have any.

First Awakenings Pacific Grove Eggs Benedict

Salmon Eggs Benedict Special ($11.59) with not very fresh smoked salmon, but decent eggs. Came with average potatoes. The most expensive item and not very good.

First Awakenings had average service, not terribly good with so many people there. Be careful what you order, stick to the basic stuff like pancakes that are hard to mess up. Most of the alternatives in this touristy area cost a lot more. Kids menu available.
