MTO Café

Can I just say OMG BLTAE? Probably the best BLT cousin I have ever tried, and won’t forget soon… bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, sunny-​side egg, basil pesto, mayo on grilled brioche + fries = amazing! This all was served open faced, and was so spic that I needed to eat it with a knife and fork: o. P. S. They didn’t care that we were last minute folk and arrived 10 min before closing :) thanks MTO!

Amazing! Everything from the food to the service! It was my first time with a co worker and we will be definitely coming back for more!
I had the chicken in a waffle… And it was so yummy! Everything about it was delightful! The gravy wasn’t overpowering… The chicken was flavorful and juicy! The fries were made well! I had the watermelon juice and it was so yummy!

This place has such a bright atmosphere. Ryan was our server and made sure everything was perfect. S/​O to the cooks because the food was DELICIOUS! I will for sure be back.

Good environment, friendly staff and yummy food! We both enjoy the breakfast very much.

Great service pleasant waiter and also friendly. Great pancakes as well. When I come back to Las Vegas to know where I can have an enjoyable experience.

«Our friendly tattooed waiter and the many pop-​culture (graffiti-​inspired) artwork everywhere got along very well with pop rock and some slow 90s classics playing in the background. «
Just a few bite from our full experience review at MTO café!

The food is amazing and the portions are generous. This is a must stop every time I’m in Vegas. Everything we’ve tried has been fantastic. The servers are friendly and efficient. The servers seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs. The iced tea is great– it’s a flavored blend called tropical passion. And the coffee is amazing! I really can’t say enough good things about this place.
Another nice touch is the plug ins and USB ports at each booth.

I really enjoyed my experience at MTO. a 4.5 star restaurant is always minimally enjoyable. And in this case, with the service, validated parking, and setting, I enjoyed my breakfast here.
I ordered far too much – but there are a lot of good options on the menu.
* blueberry lemon pancake – nice rise, fluff, and not overly sweet.
* red velvet pancake – on this one day it was a big tougher and as sweet as one might expect. probably a good hit for the kids at your table that like chocolate
* kfc plate: i finally tried mashed browns – i know it’s a simply gimmick – but it worked to get me in. :) overall – a good choice for a filling breakfast – i only wish the fried part were more crunchy/​fried. it’d have been nice to have the contrast between gravy and crunch.
* coffee excellent
I had a nice woman training as a waitress, but they clearly work as a team.
good ambiance – good for either family, business meeting, or couples morning after
parking validated for 1 hr
bathrooms have clever gender signs (eggs, sausage)

From the comfortable artwork to the attentive service this spot has it all. Now let’s get to the food. I got the avocado skillet with fresh tomatillo sauce, cilantro, and mashed hash browns.
It was served still hot in a cast iron skillet and thru already had my favorite hot sauce on the table. The free cookie was a little over cooked but hey it’s free right? The coffee was smooth and simple. Go ahead and make sure to come out here for a nice brunch.

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. I was greeted and seated promptly as the first customer of the day hahaha. I ordered the Veggie Hash skillet with my eggs scrambled and a coffee. The food and staff were outstanding. Unilocalers got this one right :) don’t forget to get your parking validated. Will definitely be back!

Very unexpected for the location! We were staying at a nearby Freemont Street hotel for a bicycle convention and wondered off on our bikes on a Friday morning looking for some brunch. I have to be honest the surrounding area is a little sketch! We came across this super nice and hip looking café which happened to have a bike rack. The inside was clean well cooled and played great music! Our service was fast and super friendly and the food was absolutely delicious! I had the bacon pancake dippers, yum yum.

Food is really fresh and service is friendly!
Super cute spot across from City Hall :) If coming for lunch, they will validate parking for 1 hour. Unfortunately not much outside seating.
Everything on the menu sounds delicious! Ended up with the Body Builder skillet, with egg whites/​chix sausage/​broccoli/​spinach/​onions/​mushrooms, and added hash mash for some carb. It was surprisingly tasty and not too salty. They seem to serve breakfast even during lunch which is nice. A bit pricey for what you get (my skillet w/​mash was $ 13), but overall a really solid lunch spot!

The two of us came in around noon on a Sunday and got seated right away. Good sized place but I can see it may get crowded. Very clean and lights of light.
Our waiter, Ryan, was friendly and awesome. He was very attentive and didn’t bother us during our meal (hehe), only during appropriate times.
My BF ordered the denver omelet and loved it. I ordered the veggie has without mushroom and really LOVED it. It came w eggs over hashed brown, broccoli, spinach, roasted tomatoes, onion and mushroom. SO GOOD! And reasonably priced, unlike Du-par’s which we had yesterday. (Thumbs down.)
Wish they had a location in LA. We’ll definitely be returning here on our next Vegas trip.

Stumbled upon this spot after cruising around DTLV and visit here was beyond my expectation!
Something to note: There are some street parking around or a City Hall parking garage behind the café which is $ 2.25. Fortunately you can get a validation here, which is $ 1.50 off the charge meaning you are still left to pay 75 cents… why
Back to the business, entrance was inviting with friendly staffs greeting us. Place was hip and trendy with lots of seating.
I was craving burger so opted for their black and bleu burger which comes with fries on the side. Asked for medium but was more on the well done side. I still enjoyed it’s thick and juicy patty. ⁵⁄₅
I also got to try their Kentucky fried chicken which came with two eggs and a hash. Hash was nice and crisp, fried chicken was seasoned well and eggs were cooked to our preference. ⁵⁄₅
Friendly staffs, amazing home cooking kind of breakfast and great vibe deserves 5 stars despite its parking situation. I will be back.

The BLTAE is one of the best breakfast sandwiches in town! It’s like your standard BLT fused with avocado toast, plus the pop of pesto and two eggs, served open-​faced on thick-​cut grilled brioche. It’s even more fantastic than it sounds (and looks!), and I’d come back to their inconvenient downtown location with annoying garage parking just to have it again.
My guy raved just as much about the lemon poppy seed pancakes, though I would have appreciated more of the blueberry-​ginger compote. I’m not much of a sugar for breakfast person, but we’ll be coming back for the carrot and coconut version soon.
NOTE: Full menu available even at opening, which means you can channel your inner five year old and order mac and cheese for breakfast! Unfortunately, I found the Ritz-​cracker crust unnecessarily thick and salty, and the noodles overcooked. It may be best to stick to bfast options after all.

Excellent!
Service: attentive. Helpful. Friendly. Prompt. Manager even delivered the food and ensured my happiness. Good stuff.
Seating: I sat at the high counter near the window and it was nice.
Food:
–they have bottomless mimosas! Regular mimosas are $ 6 and the bottomless is $ 20. Waiter basically recommended to go one at a time and if you hit 4, then we’ll switch to bottomless.
–Kentucky fried chicken: chicken itself was pretty bland, but paired with everything else worked well (including my staple breakfast condiment combo of ketchup and Cholula). Got mine with an over medium egg. Mashed Browns were a cool combo of mashed potatoes and hash browns. Good combo.
If I find myself ever staying in downtown again, I’d come back. BTW, I walked from golden nugget. Not a bad walk. Not next door though.

I’ve had great experiences here in the past, but this last time, I was just really thrown off by the $ 13 poppy seed pancakes. They looked beautiful, photo-​worthy even, but tasted like eating a loaf of bread. Having them in a short stack with no filling within or in between them made it like a bad rerun of McDonald’s hotcakes, which are nuked. It was the digestive equivalent of taking a boner without lube.
I thought everyone was trying their best to be friendly, but little did they know that every one of their enthusiastic comments like «The best ever?», «Everything tasting great?», «How you liking those pancakes?» was like a knife reminding me that I was just fake eating them. The questions were presented with the assumption that they were good.
In the end, I just had to relent and tell them like it was. MTO, your poppy seed pancakes were whatever. It doesn’t mean I don’t like you, but it does mean that this quality and that price are not compatible. They were definitely the «best ever» if he cooked them for you after a long night of sensual lovemaking, but not when you’re sitting down paying for them on any given Wednesday morning.

An excellent breakfast place!
Quality food for a good price… one portion is enough for two! We order the french toast and the BLTAE. The french toast was good, but average. Now, the BLTAE was amazing and plentiful! The bacon was thickly sliced and loads of them. They didn’t go cheap on us. The egg was shockingly an amazing addition to what I already love with the BLTA. It makes it so much more flavorful and rich… however, it was a lot for me to consume. I would recommend asking for the egg, on the side, if you don’t like the idea or can’t take too much richness in your food. It can be overwhelming.
We haven’t tried anything else, but from the service and food that we have, we would definitely come back.

Great food, big portions, great service, great atmosphere. The food was made to order. Very clean. Definately will come back

This place is slightly off the beaten path and ABSOLUTELY worth the effort to get here! The bacon pancake dippers are delicious, the Yoga Pants skillet is mind-​bending, the Lemon Blueberry pancakes are incredible! You MUST try the B.L.T.A.E.!! (We came back multiple times so we could try everything!)
All the staff were friendly, but we LOVE Steve!
Do not forget to save room for an Apple Ring! (HINT: It’s not a doughnut – it’s three million times better!)

Working in North Las Vegas with a colleague. We started the day at 5:30 am and went out for a late brunch. The food is awesome and service was excellent. We chatted with the GM and she was super friendly and you could tell she loved the place.
I highly recommend this place to my fellow Unilocalers.
Try the KFC. It was superb. My colleague had the BLTAE and he loved it.

Breakfast Food was quite creative, but mediocre in quality at best. Beautiful layout and friendly staff/​management. Our personal experience would not compel a return visit.
Do not use online coupons, as you will be disappointed. If you are driving to this location, be mindful of the parking (parking garage charges in half hour increments). Some of the «vegan» foods are questionably «vegan». Make sure you ask ahead of time.

Found this place on our way out of Vegas! So delish! Great comfort food for sure. Recommend the Kentucky fried chicken!

Still a fan of MTO, but I had to write a quick update. I frequently get their tomato soup and grilled cheese. It’s a great combo. Found out today it is ONLY sold as a combo.
Today I just order the tomato soup and when bill came was charged $ 7 for a cup of soup. I asked waiter why it was same price as the combo and he said because it’s ONLY sold as a combo. Huh? Ok, no big deal, but wish he had told me this bit of info when I ordered. I guess I should’ve asked how much is JUST a cup of soup.
The manager came over and asked if everything was ok, so I mentioned how I really enjoyed the soup, but didn’t realize if I ordered only soup I’d be charged for full combo. She simply parroted the server and said we only sell soup as a combo with grilled cheese.
I get it! It’s a COMBO! Good deal for $ 7, super tasty, just don’t; try ordering either item separately, or be prepared to pay for full cost of combo. :-)

Went here for breakfast. Received excellent service by Ryan our server. We had ordered the Body Builder Skillet (made of egg whites), Sustainable Salmon Skillet (love the cream cheese and salmon), and the Vegan Coconut & Carrot Pancakes that he recommended it was going to be a lot of food and offered us to purchase just one of the pancakes instead of the usual 3-​stack. He was right! Our meal was very filling yet delicious! The General Manager, Donna, later stopped by our table to see how we were enjoying our food. She also gave us good tips on where to visit while in Las Vegas.
Good service. Good food. We’ll be sure to stop by again.
Don’t forget to check-​in to receive your complimentary warm chocolate chip cookie!

OK my husband ordered the yoga pants with chicken sausage, I ordered the apple donut and green juice. This is the place to come if you want to try new delicious stuff. Great breakfast. Great coffee. Great apple donut! Never thought I’d like the fried apple, but after photos, just had to try it. Sure glad I did. It’s a fried granny smith apple. I never knew it could taste so good. Great for Paleos and vegans

MTO’s ‘Kentucky Fried Chicken’ is lounging comfortably in my satisfied tummy. I write this review in loving memory of it and the gorgeous experience I am savoring on a cold Vegas morning, in this warm, badass, and unpretentious café.
5 S T A R S
* DELICATE & DEEEEELISH
: Kentucky Fried Chicken: They had me at «KFC». The name grabbed my attention immediately – brilliant. Is this the original, original recipe the Colonel intended – perhaps the ‘director’s cut’ of chicken breast? Silky eggs laid on a crispy, breaded and pleasurably moist breast. Delicate gravy, tasting of sweet southern roux poured over the top. Yummy, yum, yum ‘Mash Browns’ hidden underneath to surprise me. «Wha, good mornin’ spuds!» The whole dish crafted with loving subtlety, the volume just perfect, like tucking in Goldilocks. MTO, you have my gratitude.
: Hangover Burger: Decent, and HUGE. The bacon was incredible, shoestring fries stellar, but all that protein was really heavy in the tummy. Be warned – it’s the only thing I needed to eat for 7 hours.
* AN ANTIDOTE TO LONELINESS
You ever feel lonely in Vegas? Giant sky, big buildings separated by lakes of space filled with roaming crowds of random party people. For me, these new experiences are a welcomed blast but without my wife there’s a melancholy lurking. Maybe that tinge is part of why we booze and party to excess in LV. Well, what I just ate has healed my lonely heart. I’ll def be back tomorrow when the isolation resumes :)
* ATTENTIVE SERVICE
Very nice dudes checking in on me often and letting me take my time to write this review!
* GREAT MUSIC /​COMFORTABLE SETTING
Louis Armstrong’s horn. 2000s Rock with subtle cowbell. All tunes upbeat and go perfectly with the coffee and the subtly-​more-​hip-​than-​your-​average-​diner setting.
* EASY & UNPRETENTIOUS
The biggest surprise of my Las Vegas restaurant experiences thus far is the rare combination of fine quality and the lack of pretension. That subtle Vegas unpretentious ease is present here at MTO in the caramel vinyl seats, the not-​overdone lighting fixtures, the easy attitudes of the staff, and the comfortable body language of the Average-​Jill-​and-​Joe patrons.
Being from Oakland and SF, I’ve always had to choose between lack of pretension or fine quality. It’s a real delight, therefore, to experience them mingled together in the same place.

I was so happy to find this café near downtown. It has a great mix of savory and comfort food as well as light and fresh choices. There is enough for both the vegetarian and the carnivore to be happy at MTO.
I enjoyed a nice cappuccino followed by the hero sandwich, which was nearly more than I could finish. The meats and greens were very proportionate to the bread and pesto and it was exactly what I was hoping for. The fries are small and thin style and quite tasty. The seasonal fruit cup was also colorful and fresh.
The service was friendly and timely. An all around great experience that is well worth getting off the strip for. If you’re looking for a good brunch, look no further. It is in an easy to find location near the downtown area with ample parking.
Also, check in on Unilocal and get a free cookie for dessert!

Their breakfast is very ordinary. Everything is bland!!! Nothing special. The green juice was great though! I also enjoyed the fried apple rings even though the dough was not fully cooked inside! Don’t think I will ever go back!

The breakfast skillet can’t be beat! Eggs are perfectly fluffly, veggies done right over flavorful hash browns in an iron skillet. cappuccino paired nicely.
They also have a tomato soup on the lunch menu that is delicious and not a heavy cream base but a true tomato base soup with fresh basil in it. Spot on.

Wonderful breakfast experience. Clean, fresh, cool. That describes the décor, the staff, and the food.
I tried the Fat Elvis French Toast and as the server Steve predicted, it was life changing. It’s a must!

Really great little place… I ordered an avocado skillet without onions and my friend had the broccoli skillet which I thought sounded terrible, but he loved. I wish all the good spots weren’t only downtown but the service and everything else was also really good.

FOR THE CATERING SIDE (prepared on location). I attended a party (almost 300 in attendance) last year.
Here’s what was served according to stations:
(1) chicken skewers, beef skewers, octopus, pickled vegetables
(2) mini burgers, salmon veggie tart, pumpkin soups in mini pumpkins
(3) dessert station: a.) freshly made mini ice cream cones– chocolate & strawberry balsamic b.) mini cake cube platters
Here’s what was served, via models carrying platters:
(1) mini beef wellington
(2) chicken pot-​pie
(3) hummus & kale wraps (like sushi)
Everything was delicious and amazing. The presentation was great, too. There was definitely enough to go around — I really do not think there were any complaints about the food. My favorite stand-​outs were both of the skewers, mini burgers, mini beef wellington, and the mini ice cream cones too.
KUDOS to all the chefs, staff, and everyone (owners) from the restaurant. Everyone was nice, professional, and very involved in the entire process. It’s a good sign when everyone talks about how delicious the food was, the very next day.

Great breakfast place
Love the skillet egg options
Great ambiance and very clean
The manager was very courteous as was the server they made sure we were ok and were enjoying our meal. My go to breakfast spot for sure in Vegas ! Pls open in Toronto !

I was looking for a healthy option for breakfast and this hit the spot! Located in downtown Las Vegas, it’s easy to get to and garage parking is validated.
The menu is small and makes it easy to select something quickly. I tried the Broccoli Egg White omelet, while my folks got the Avocado Omelet, and the oh so delicious Vegan Carrot and Coconut Pancakes. We all shared everything and none of us had anything but great things to say about the food.
The restaurant is spacious and trendy and the wait staff is super friendly. I’ll be back here next time I’m in Vegas again.

Searched for a place to get some grub after a long rest from all day traveling yesterday. Searched Unilocal and found MTO Café
I had the Hangover Burger– awesome flavor and great size. Filled even me up!!!
Son had the chic and waffles — great with the gravy, but also tried it with maple syrup– both were great!!!
Wife shared the MTO breakfast with a lot of breakfast meats– (asked for double bacon, minus turkey bacon)
There was even the 808s favorite meat– SPAM
All in all a great experience. Ask for Ryan– he paid attention to refills and was very attentive and friendly!!!
Will b back!!!
Aloooooooooohaaaaaaaa!!!

Wow. What a lunch I had here. Met a friend who recommended it before, and we headed here during lunch time. We were greeted right away, staff was friendly and the place was bright. If you drive here they validate parking for up to an hour in the connected parking lot, you just have to ask.
Our server was strange a bit, but all smiles and super personable. I ordered the tomato soup and the turkey melt sandwich with fruit. Off the bat the sandwich comes with fries, but to upgrade to fresh cut fruit is 2 bucks, some people will probably complain about that. When I got the turkey melt it was seriously delicious. There was fresh avocado, melted pepper jack cheese, even the chipolte aoli was delicious and I normally hate sauce. It was really just the perfect sandwich. The fruit that came as the side was also really fresh and delicious as well. Would definitely recommend that sandwich!
I am sure you are wondering well Jen, if the place was so awesome why the 4 stars? Well kids, because the tomato soup and grilled cheese was not 5 star worthy. If I had stuck to just the turkey melt I probably would have given it 5 stars for that. We also tried the ‘famous’ apple rings, which were basically fresh apples in a coating and fried. They were good but for anyone watching their weight it is a nightmare!
Overall I really loved this place and may be back for another Turkey melt!

My favorite brunch place in Vegas! I make it a priority to stop at MTO Café every time I am in Vegas because it is just that good. And they have a free chocolate cookie with check-​in offer which basically sealed the deal for me haha.
I’ve had the Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes, the Hangover Burger, the Chorizo Skillet, and the Chicken&Waffles, and I can only report back by saying that all of it was AMAZING. The Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes were fluffy and so good with their blueberry ginger compote. Definitely ask for extra of the compote! Everything in the Hangover Burger was just ON– from the runny egg to the medium rare patty to the bacon to the special sauce– it was truly perfection in the form of a burger. The Chorizo Skillet was also delicious with the layer of hash browns sizzling on the bottom of the skillet. The Chicken&Waffles were also solid– tender meat and yummy sauce in a waffle sandwich– what more can you ask for?
The second time I visited MTO, my party was offered free Fried Apple Rings instead of the cookies and boy oh boy were these dank. Seriously, these are a must! The batter was crispy on the outside yet fluffy in the inside and the cinnamon sugar icing was a no brainer. The attentive service and cute décor just makes this café even better. Definitely make this place a Vegas pitstop!
