I love burnt crumbs so much. I go every time I'm in Irvine. Food is great (especially the soufflé pancakes), service is always super fast and so friendly, and I love the drinks too (recommend the tea with fruit puree). If you're not in the mood for something sweet their breakfast sandwiches are great and so are the tots! read more

Burnt Crumbs - New American Near Me - Irvine, California

Burnt Crumbs may have been featured and referenced on social media for their souffle pancakes, which I do think is worth trying: the pancakes is very different from traditional pancakes in that is is so light and airy with a decent height that the texture makes you feel like are eating a cloud, but still packed with great flavor. Another standout item was the breakfast fried rice: it was also so flavorful, and from what I understand they only make a certain amount of the dish, so you may want to get here early if you want to try it. I think the closest I can probably describe the fried rice is probably Hawaiian fried rice: it's got spam, peas, fried eggs, carrot, and topped with a fried sunny side egg: it was very savory, and perfect with the runny yolk. Seating is shared with the other restaurants in that area, but I didn't find an issue with finding a spot: I think the hard part is finding a spot in the shade, so perhaps bring a hat if you dont want the sun in your eyes. Overall, it was a good experience and I would come back again for brunch. read more

Just beware, the lines are long!!!! You order at the table , they give you a number and you sit outside. There's no seating inside as it's quite small. Staff at the register were very friendly and welcomed us with big bright smiles. Food surprisingly came out pretty quickly. The soufflé pancakes were good, very fluffy and soft with great flavor. I also ordered the Nashville fried chicken sandwich. Nice and crunchy, great flavor. Hubby ordered the breakfast quesadilla. It was very cheesy and greasy, it was difficult to eat all of it as it just becomes too much. We originally wanted to order the fried rice, but it was already sold out by the time we got to the front of the line. Would probably come again if I lived in the area (we went strawberry picking in Irvine, and always wanted to try their soufflé pancakes as it reminded me of Japan) read more

I finally found the viral jiggly pancakes in Irvine! Burnt Crumbs has been here for a hot minute, y'all better not come for me for only finding out about it now, but hey, better late than never. I had to try their bestselling flavor that's topped with fresh strawberries and strawberry cream, and the souffle pancakes definitely hit the spot. And you know the moment when they bring out a dish for the table next to you and you're like I want that, immediately? Their Classic club sandwich... I was struggling to eat this because of how HUGE it is, I thought it was skewered with a freakin' chopstick lol, and comes with a HEAPING amount of fries. Thanks for reading! ^-^ read more

The service here was amazing, super friendly and attentive. But the sandwich I got was just bland, the biscuit was really dry and crispy. I took one bite of it and ended up just eating the chicken because I didn't want to waste it. The chicken inside wasn't seasoned enough, it was bland and lacked flavor. It was disappointing because I found it through TikTok. I was looking forward to the meal because I was hungry but it was under seasoned. Even the mashed potatoes on it. The pancakes were also just bland, the sides of the berry is what gave it flavor. I didn't finish that either. The omelette was a bit better but just overall needed more seasoning for everything. It's self seated so we sat outdoors. read more

Really cute little brunch spot, they have a smaller menu selection, but everything is made from scratch so that's really nice, I tried the cookies and creme soufflé pancakes and a hot coffee on the side. The pancakes were good! Nice and jiggly / fluffy which was super fun and they were delicious ! The coffee was slightly bitter and super strong , overall a nice spot and I'll probably be back to try the breakfast plates and orange juice . read more

Burnt Crumbs - Souffle Pancakes (2 per order) - New American Near Me - Irvine, California

It was a nice morning, there was barely a line when we got there at 10am, the cashier was really friendly and had a great personality. He hyped up the country fried steak, talked about the honey Tabasco aioli. I was sold. Portion was good, I ordered Vietnamese coffee to wash it down. The potatoes were crunchy, it was nice and crispy. The sandwich, however, was dry. I wish they spread the aioli on the bun to add more flavor, instead of having the customer spread it themself. read more

Location: plaza with Whole Foods and other restaurants and services. Parking: plenty of free parking spaces Experience: Scan QR code for menu to check out if line is too long. Otherwise, there's a menu at the cashier. You order at the cashier, they give you a number, and it is self seating indoor/outdoor. We got: - seasonal clam chowder with cheesy toast : wonderful, not too thick, packed with fixings - pancakes, berry compote and strawberry : yum! Excellent texture and flavors - avocado toast : decent! It needed a little something but can't put my finger on it - breakfast sandwich w/ sausage : yum yum, solid - spaghetti sandwich : interesting but waaay too carb dense - carne asada omelette : dry meat but fluffy eggs - viet iced coffee : good and strong! Average price per entry roughly $12-15? Up to $17 if I recall correctly Total bill: around $120 Other notes: don't sleep on the potato's or chips! Amazing. The aioli that goes with the chips was great too. Overall: it's a popular spot! The turn around on food once you order is impressive. Gotta love that. Seating will more than likely be outside as indoor space is limited. read more

The line was soooo long, so we ordered online. There is lots of seating. While we waited, we went grabbed drinks from Whole Foods since the OJ was $6 not in this economy! We received our takeout and I was a little bummed to see that the quesadilla wasn't fully prepared. The quesadilla is too oily to open and put those toppings inside. It is good, but very heavy. It can shared between two people. The soufflé pancakes is what will be bringing me back. It was so light and fluffy and sooo yummy. Absolutely perfect. read more

I think everything is just okay, I've been here twice but each time has been meh. Their pancakes are cute but the taste does not give a wow factor. read more

Is it worth the hype and the long line? Hmm, for me it's a yes and here's why. The potatoes! I'm a huge sucker for a well made fried potato. If you find yourself at burnt crumbs please do yourself a favor and order the home fried potatoes. The pancakes seemed to have been extremely popular, seeing most people order a plate of some sort thought I was honestly underwhelmed. I expect a light and fluffy bite but it was almost like a foamy rubber texture. The strawberry cream was yummy, not an artificial flavor which I'm always happy about. There is outdoor, self serve seating and there is typically a wait. Come on a cool, sunny day and the ambiance is refreshing and lively. read more

Delicious, would go again! This is as easy to find location located in a populated shopping area with ample parking. The line was moderate but moved quickly. The staff was friendly and efficient and the location was clean. My order was to go and was prepared in roughly ten minutes despite it being busy. I ordered two things to go - the breakfast sandwich and the fluffy pancakes. The breakfast sandwich is delicious! I got it with over medium eggs, but I wish I would've gotten them over easy. It came with cheddar cheese, eggs, bacon, on a brioche bun with tangy aioli. This also comes with a side of crispy potatoes. The sandwich was soft and warm and delicious. The potatoes were well seasoned and moderately crispy, despite getting them to go. I also got the fluffy pancakes with berry compote. I didn't eat them until later in the day, and they kept so well! They remained fluffy and light. There was minimal berry compote in the to go container, I could've done with more as it was very tasty. A nice touch is that they were packaged deconstructed so the pancakes did not get soggy. Ultimately, I was impressed that the food was so delicious and kept so well - breakfast food does not always travel well. It was a little expensive for the portion size, but it is Irvine. read more

I came back here for the first time in at least two years, and it was just as good as I remember. I had the Breakfast Quesadilla with carne asada, and the Strawberry Soufflé pancakes. We loved both of them! There is a little bit of a wait out the door because you order at the counter, but the line went pretty quick. The staff were all super friendly and helpful, offering extras salsas and to-go containers. I'd love to come back to try some of their lunch options, which had a few different sandwiches. read more

We've been to Burnt Crumbs twice now (once in June and another time in December) and have been satisfied both times! The soufflé pancakes are absolutely stellar, and the staff is extremely friendly (and provides great recommendations!). The pancakes and the service is five stars. The other menu items, including the burrito, biscuits, breakfast sandwich, etc., are pretty good, but against the backdrop of the outstanding pancakes can feel a little bland. There is also not much indoor seating, but outdoor seating has been enough. A good experience overall--we'll be returning for the soufflé pancakes! read more

Love this spot!! Tried the breakfast burrito for the first time today and it was one of the best I've ever had! I got the pico and crema on the side and opted for no onion. The egg was so fluffy, and they don't skimp on the meat. I got bacon in mine, and they did a great job of putting the other ingredients (meat, cheese, potato) all through the burrito so you never got a bite of just egg. Small touch that does wonders! Theres always a decent line to get in so plan accordingly when coming for a sit down meal. If you order to go you're able to bypass the line and pickup your food from the back of the restaurant. They have tons of yummy options and plenty of outdoor seating. The cashier this morning was phenomenal, he was very friendly and welcoming. Everyone in our party commented on how great he was:) Restaurant itself is very clean and in good shape. Definitely recommend this spot for brunch!! read more

Burnt Crumbs - Brunch Sandwich--bacon, cheddar, & scrambled egg - New American Near Me - Irvine, California

Checked out Burnt Crumbs with a friend for Sunday brunch and was delighted by really great food! I ordered the Breakfast Fried Rice and really liked it. The egg on top really completed it. My friend got the Carne Asada Omelette which comes with a side of potatoes. I tried a bite of his plate and the potatoes were sooooooo crispy!! It was my favorite part. My favorite of everything were the soufflé pancakes. I do have a sweet tooth so there's a bias, but the pancakes were perfectly fluffy and light. We ordered the strawberry flavor and I absolutely hate strawberries, but I still really enjoyed the pancakes. We waited about 15 minutes in line plus about another 5-10 for our food which wasn't bad at all, but we sat there for a few hours and I noticed the line definitely got a lot longer as the day went on. There's limited seating inside but plenty to go around outside! read more

This place is extremely popular; be prepared for a long wait if you come on the weekend. The team does everything in their power to have the menu available to have people make decisions prior to ordering (even though some customers don't take advantage of this) and is very quick at getting your order input and expedited upon ordering. Very impressive. I didn't get to see the inside, other than the ordering counter, as it was a packed Sunday morning. All inside seating was taken. Had to eat outside with the birds on wet tables, but it was a cool breezy day, not exactly a bad option (the birds only get really involved if food is left out, unattended). We ordered the breakfast burrito with sausage, which comes with home fried potatoes. My friend ordered the 2 egg breakfast with scrambled eggs well done, Texas toast with a side of bacon. Regardless of the exceptionally long line and wait to order, food came out inexplicably fast, hot and visibly mouthwatering. My burrito was jammed packed with sausage, pico de gallo, eggs and home potatoes....but unfortunately I couldn't taste the cheddar cheese or the much desired cilantro crema that I was looking so forward to. A little heartbreaking....but this burrito is hearty and the sausage, eggs and pico were fantastically fresh and savory. The burrito tortilla was thin and perfect to wrap all this goodness inside. Based on the home fried potatoes alone, this would be a 5 star meal. I have never had home fried potatoes so perfectly fried, seasoned with soft, pillowy potatoes inside. My friend loved the bacon on her 2 egg plate...it was thick cut and fried to a crisp without being burnt. The Texas toast is no joke...thick, heavily buttered and toasted through. Her only complaint is that the well done eggs were really well done. When we were given options on the scrambled type it was soft scrambled or well done, wished for a medium option. Overall, an excellent breakfast/brunch option. Haven't tried the lunch menu to comment. read more

Burnt crumbs is pretty popular on weekends (as is expected). It's one of those order at the counter and find your seat. They have a few indoor seats but most people opt to sit outdoors especially if there's good weather. Con to the outdoor seating is that a lot of the tables aren't clean as they are kind of the plaza's common space. Service is extremely fast though, once you order, unless you got the jiggly pancakes. I personally liked the omelette but the quesadillas were honestly kinda heavy and too much for one person to eat in a sitting. Overall, not bad, but nothing to rave about. read more

Pastrami Hash, Egg, and Cheddar Breakfast Sandwich 8.96/10- this was absolutely delicious! The pastrami was so flavorful and perfectly seasoned with that amazing smoky taste. I loved how they incorporated it into the hash - it added this incredible savory depth that you don't get with regular breakfast sandwiches. I got my eggs soft scrambled (you can also choose over easy) and these were honestly the most fluffy scrambled eggs I've had! They were so good and buttery - you could taste the quality and care that went into making them. The cheddar cheese was melted perfectly and added this rich, creamy element that tied everything together. For the bread I decided to get the brioche bun (you have the option of getting the brioche bun or biscuit). The brioche was perfect - soft and slightly sweet with that buttery richness that made it the ideal choice for this sandwich. It held all the fillings together beautifully without getting soggy. What really made this sandwich special was how all the flavors worked together - the salty pastrami, creamy buttery eggs, sharp cheddar, and the hash added great texture and heartiness. The side of breakfast potatoes were also really good! They were perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy inside with great seasoning. You can see how golden and well-cooked they are - they had that perfect crispy texture that makes breakfast potatoes so satisfying. The portion size was generous and everything was cooked to perfection. Such a creative twist on a classic breakfast sandwich that really delivers on flavor and quality. The line can get super long but even with so many customers they bring your food out very fast, and there's tons of outdoor seating which makes the wait totally worth it!

I kept seeing this place all over social media, so we finally came in to try a few things. We ordered the Strawberry Souffle, the Breakfast Quesadilla, and the Shredded Beef Chilaquiles and here's what I thought. The Strawberry Souffle was honestly amazing. So fluffy, super light, and the toppings were fresh without being too sweet. It's something I would definitely order every single time. The Breakfast Quesadilla was really good too. It was flavorful and filling, just a little on the oily side for me, but still something I enjoyed. The Shredded Beef Chilaquiles were tasty, especially in the beginning when the tortilla chips are still crispy. But they do get soft quickly, and I'm personally not a fan once they lose that crunch. If you're someone who likes them crispy, just keep that in mind. Overall, I'd give the whole experience an 8 out of 10. The location is nice, there's plenty of seating, and even when it was busy the service was surprisingly fast. I'll definitely be coming back, especially for the souffle. read more

This brunch was SOOO good! First, portions are so massive and was able to split the dishes but honestly each plate could feed 2-3 people, especially the breakfast quesadilla. Very reasonable price for the amount of food you get. The quesadilla was so delicious and the crispy breakfast potatoes are just so perfect and chefs kiss. I think about these potato's so often. The soufflé pancakes were very fluffy and light, but a bit too sweet for me. read more

My husband LOVES this place. Whenever we are in Irvine, this is the go-to place he wants to stop at. The service is typically pretty quick and there is plenty of outdoor seating I usually get the bacon breakfast burrito, he gets the breakfast quesadilla with carne asada. We both usually get the soufflé pancakes and we get one to go for our mother in law. The texture on the pancakes is a bit different than what I was used to do so I didn't really like them the first time I tried them, but the second time I got the berry ones and I really liked them! read more

Can have long lines, but that Spaghetti Grilled cheese is to die for. Absolutely delicious!

I'd like to come back a second time to give a better review but in my first experience it was ok. Spaghetti Grilled Cheese sandwich was dry- I would've added some type of sauce maybe...my daughter devoured her specialty pancakes though. This is a busy spot and you can expect a line- long or short- depending on when you come. Outside and inside casual dining options. Spent about $38 with tip on 2 plates, with iced water to drink. read more
