    Breakfast burrito
    Julie E.

    Honestly the food was nothing special. It was just your less than average breakfast food. I don't think they know what seasonings are as there were none in our food. There was a wait to sit down, which after eating the food kind of shocked me and the service was extremely slow. Our server who was a woman hardly came to check on us but there was a gentlemen who was servicing other tables who would step in for her every now and again and he was lovely. Unfortunately I didn't catch either of their names. I also don't know if this establishment knows what tres leches is but the tres leches pancakes were indeed not tres leches pancakes. It was just dulce de leche topped pancakes which isn't even in tres leches anything. Tres leches is sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and typically whole milk. The breakfast burrito was probably the best part and that's not really saying much. Safe to say I won't be back.

    Visited this amazing cafe on Sunday morning for a good friend's retirement brunch snd celebration. The vibe here is, "American Pickers". Fun, nostalgic and peaceful. The service and food were EXCELLENT!! The breakfasts my family and I had were well-prepared, fresh and delicious. The restaurant was crowded which is a sign of a popular dining destination.

    Stayed at the Doubletree in Whittier since I was here to visit our daughters before a road trip A friend of mine lives in Whittier and his wife had always mentioned wanting to go to this place. We drove by parked and we're seated in what I believe to be the best seat on the property. Outside overlooking the street. Service was quick friendly. The menu is brought enough to make everyone happy. We both ordered the chicken and waffles, which were amazing. Chicken was cooked perfectly not too much breading. The waffles were good with a special butter on it. Also ordered cappuccinos which are made perfectly. We will be back.

    Delicious. Great service. Great ambiance and atmosphere. Outdoor seating. Chicken pesto sandwich was amazing.

    Dirty bird sandwich and Tres leches French toast is a must try they are delicious and can't forget the strawberry lemonade

    Not what it used to be to be! The new owners hanged the menu and now it sucks. They don't have the tres le he's French toast, now they have a concha. Wish the menu wouldn't have changed

    Cute little place with indoor and outdoor seating. Mark was amazingly friendly and attentive. We loved everything we ordered. The portions were good size with fresh ingredients. Free street parking or the parking structures nearby.

    Cute restaurant in uptown Whittier with eclectic decor. Staff is super and service was great. Strawberry banana waffle was flavorful with fresh strawberries and sliced banana. Two egg breakfast did not skimp on potatoes and eggs were perfectly cooked. Such a hidden gem.. not to be missed

    Latte
    Ann V.

    First time coming here. Only came for coffee and pastries. We came as soon as it opened and we were able to get a table right away. But it definitely gets busy. It's a small cozy spot but delicious. The staff was friendly and welcoming.

    Santa Fe Skillet
    Yulissa C.

    Cute little spot! It has a cottage house feel to it and is a nice spot to check out in Uptown. Very accommodating staff, it was busy but we were seated within 20 mins& no reservation! I ordered the Iced Chai Latte that I was very pleased with, and the Santa Fe Skillet (without the dairy products it usually comes with). The portion size was perfect and it satisfied my appetite. I got to try out the Chicken & Waffles- can't go wrong with this! It comes with a Cinnamon Butter that pairs very nicely. Overall a simple but charming neighborhood find, and has a nice view of Uptown that is lovely to enjoy on a breakfast/ day out!

    Raspberry cream danish

    Came to dine on a Friday afternoon around 11:30am, which is a great time to go as it's not as busy. While sitting and waiting for my party to arrive, I met the owner who was sitting right next to me talking to other guests. She shared with me the beautiful story behind the name and the concept of her restaurant. She named it aunties inspired by her own nieces and nephews because she welcomes every guest dining like a niece and nephew. The concept and ambience she strives for is both welcoming and that comfort of home feeling that you get when you visit your aunties house. After hearing the back story of how the owner wanted this restaurant to represent a sense of community with all its personal touches, details, and incredible food I now have a new found appreciation for this restaurant. If there's a wait, I will be patient because I'm supporting a business owner who is truly passionate about her restaurant. My favorite area to sit in is the side where my favorite server Mark is. He is honestly the best and sweetest. Always attentive and checking in. Makes great recommendations when you are indecisive. The rest of the staff is also amazing from the host, baristas, cooks, and busser. The service overall is incredible. Iced lattes here are amazing. Highly recommend the butterscotch flavor which has a bit of caramel, vanilla, and hazelnut. Simply delicious and not overly sweet. Definitely recommend the raspberry cheese danish. It's buttery, flaky, and soft in all the right places with a delicious filling of raspberry and cheese that compliments in all the right ways. Definitely reminds me of the Svenhard's berry horn danishes. Soo good! Of course, I had to order the chicken and waffles because it's my personal favorite. The fried chicken is soo good and the waffle stays perfectly fluffy even as leftovers. Overall, such an amazing dining experience and I look forward to my next visit!

    Thank you for a memorable event. We just celebrated my husband's retirement at Auntie's and couldn't be happier. Aya was accommodating from the beginning and responsive to my requests. The food here never disappoints as well as the service and on this special occasion Ariana and her team excelled. Our event was held in the back patio that has vintage country cottage vibes. It is well shaded and spacious. They created a special menu for our event with three pre-selected items from their menu. All our guests enjoyed the ambiance and food. We're looking forward to hosting future celebrations at Auntie's.

    Don't waste your time and hard earned money here. Came in with high expectations but quickly found out this place is not worth the time or money. I ordered the skillet breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon, peppers and sourdough bread. When the food came out the skillet wasn't even hot to the touch.. The food wasn't hot either. The food was bland and luke warm. Bread was cold.That explains how the food came out so quickly, it was already pre-cooked and just sitting there. AND, the mass of the meal was 90% potatoes. See pic. They should call that particular meal the "potato" skillet. This was my first, and unfortunately my last time eating at this joint. Good luck!!

    Let me start by saying, that it was an amazing morning to be out and have breakfast in the Outdoor garden. I loved the fact that my latte with a pump of hazelnut arrived extra hot for a coffee lover is a must . And my American Santa Fe Skillet came hot and yummy. I will return to explore other options. I wanted to have a acai bowl or something cold and fresh to start but they don't offer, this won't stop me from returning for a lunch menu. Thank you for the great service.

My daughter came for a specific sandwich that she loves, and said it was equally good at this location. I came for the chicken and waffles, I asked for tenders instead of bone-in chicken pieces, and unfortunately it was not as good as the Alhambra location. The battered coating is different and completely falling off of the tenders, the waffle was a little overcooked as well. The Alhambra location uses a panko crusted breading and it's so good and crunchy! I don't think I would return to this location.

The girl I spoke to on the phone verified that there should have been fries in the Saltado de Vegetal. She said that the cook made a mistake and must have thought I wanted fries on the side instead of in the Saltado de Vegetal. Therefore I was still missing a side of fries that I was charged for.
