    Oh I am so sad. It looks like Cafe Sparrow has closed. It will be missed. For the past 2 years since I moved here, this restaurant has been a highlight. Wishing the best to the whole team!!! I will never know French toast like yours...

    Went for brunch. They are supposed to close in a couple of weeks and even though it isn't too far my husband and I hadn't been there previously even though we kept wanting to try the weekend brunch. The food, my husband wanted the breakfast sandwich on a brioche bun but they ran out of the brioche. They offered to make it and put it in a croissant and it was probably the better of the two items. The pork belly eggs Benedict were good but the hollandaise sauce was not a typical hollandaise and although good, I prefer the more traditional version. The location is actually a decent size. Despite this and maybe because they are closing they didn't have a table for about an hour. When we came back, even though tables were open they made us wait for a two person table to open up, which I found odd as they were about 20 minutes to closing time. The communication on this was a little off as if they had a specific table and not just a two person table set aside for us. I am always sorry to see places go. This would be a pretty good breakfast place and would give the other known aptos breakfast place a run for its money as this was better than that. I have yet to go for dinner and probably won't so can't speak on that.

    While the eggs Benedict was good... I'm not sure if the price was worth it. The potatoes were good but was a very small portion. I liked the pancakes. My wife did not. She doesn't like cinnamon and for whatever reason, it had a lot of cinnamon. She usually says no cinnamon on French toast. But generally pancakes don't have cinnamon. They did take them off the bill. Every thing else was great. Very cozy atmosphere. Customer service was good.

    If Yelp would give the opportunity to award more than 5 stars, I certainly would for Cafe Sparrow. Rarely do you find a restaurant that has been consistently good for years. Brunch, lunch or dinner. I know I'm always going to get a quality, delicious meal and friendly service. My favorite is the rack of lamb and filet mignon. Always cooked exactly the way I ordered. I also love the location...a historic building in Aptos Village. Although parking can be challenging sometimes, it's worth the visit for me. Cafe Sparrow....you continue to amaze me with how you maintain consistency. Bravo! Can't wait to return!
