Best Philly cheesesteak I’ve ever had! We weren’t sure where to eat lunch, so we walked around downtown and found Austino’s, interested by the hot sandwiches (pregnant, so cold sandwiches are a no-go). Philly was amazing! I wouldn’t order with fries again, as those were pretty plain. My husband loved the chowder. We got boba tea to go with our meals (yum)! Everything came out hot and ready to eat! We sat outside at their tables and enjoyed people watching!
The Hot Pastrami on Rye was delicious. Perfect blend of sauerkraut, sauce, and Pastrami! The fries were perfectly cooked and salted, though shoestring is not my favorite style of cut. Service was fast. But there is some need to improve cleanliness...the ketchup packets were all sticky. But the food is definitely worth the trip!
Delicious food! We had the pizza and the turkey sandwich’s and they are to die for! The customer service was absolutely wonderful, and they were super quick to get our food out! Seriously people need to try this place!!
I ordered the Croissant Breakfast veggie sandwich this past Saturday, and it was DELICIOUS!! Sooo good and ordered the Caramel Macchiato coffee. This coffee was very tasty.. Very friendly staff and great food!! Will DEFINITELY come back for breakfast!! ❤️❤️
Food:
I only tried the ice cream. The strawberry is my favorite. Not too sweet. There is no strawberry piece in the ice cream. Next choice would be the mocha almond fudge. It has actual almond and a hint of mocha flavor. The vanilla taste like vanilla. It taste safe. Can't go wrong with it.
I'm not a fan of the pistachio flavor. There was also mint and chocolate flavor. The homemade waffle is worth getting the ice cream in.
Service:
The guy that was scooping the ice cream was really nice. He let us try the flavors. The scoops were also very generous. All the workers wear these ugly bright green shirts. The hats seem mandatory also.
Price:
It is expensive. Each ice cream cone cost about $8.50. You get 2 flavors.
Ambience:
There are outside settings. Has a cafe picnic vibe on the outside. The flowers are also a nice touch. There are also seats indoor. The smell of bakery and sweets fill the air.
Though I do not find the price to be by any means reasonable, the food was very exquisite and delightful. I have been to Austino's many times and not once has the food disappointed me. The Pizza, Soup, Salads, and Desserts are all very tasty and I have noticed that I actually have a slight unpopular opinion. Speaking of Desserts, the Chocolate Bear Claws and Croissants are by far the best food item to order. It is simply unthinkable to make the decision to leave Austino's without ordering one of these two items. I will return many times more in the future, even if it means I have to drive three hours to do so.
Best quiche I’ve ever eaten! My 10 yr old hates eggs but decided he wanted to try it. He liked it so much he ate all of mine so I to buy another one for my self. Not sure why this place is so poorly rated.
The chicken pesto sandwich and turkey croissant were delicious. Would definitely return. Service is great, and super fast. Super friendly staff as well.
It’s an ok place. Clam Chowder is really tasty. Bread was a bit too soft for me. Pizza was also tasty and warm.
This is the aftermath of 3 high-schoolers having a good lunch, safe to day this place was pretty good, it was fast fresh and everything tasted great I got the breakfast burrito with sausage and omg it was good it was fresh off the stove too it was really hot.
I love Monterey Bay Aquarium area! This is 1 home away from home place. Me & my fam LOVE this place. Omg the food is yummy, the clam chowder in the bread bowl is to die for, can feed 2 ppl. The hot drinks are great on a chilly day & the ppl working there in my experience, are very nice. Austino's is the only place i go for the clam chowder in the bread bowl😍keep having it on the menu & I'll keep buying it. In Hawaii the clam chowder in a bread bowl is like $28 which is crazy. Can't wait to have your tasty food again & wonderful service
Pizza on display didn’t look great but it turned out to be good. Friendly service and outdoor seating. Right by the aquarium.
Wonderful people and a good variety of food. Quick service and home-made quality
Mocha and latte was meh and breakfast burrito was available with an awesome salsa but the rest was amazing! Quiche, French toast, freshly made canoli, fresh fruit! My latte was cold and the mocha was not impressive. The cups were filled 75% for some weird reason. We were outside and the service was excellent. Across from the Aquarium so we were able to enjoy before returning inside
The fruit bowl we ordered was fresh and great value. Sandwiches and pastries - reasonably priced (we thought) considering it's one minute from the Aquarium. Seating inside and out. Decent coffee. Recommend if you want a quick bite in the area.
