Caramelo Cafe - Chilaquiles verdes and veggie skillet with papas - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - La Puente, California

Went around 10:30 am on a Sunday and service was extremely fast, food came out quick, chilaquiles were amazing and paired well with a cafe de la olla. read more

I rarely leave reviews but I really felt like I had to this time. I ordered the El Tri all red chilaquiles with Arrachera and it was not edible. The meat mas so tough it was like chewing on old gum. And it took so long to get the order it was disappointing. I won't be going back. read more

I had SUCH a good experience here! A lovely small business to support rather than going to a Denny's or IHOP. The service was so great and it's a nice and homey restaurant. The food was SPECTACULAR. The crepes were so good I got an extra order to go! I've been eyeing this place ever since it opened and had no idea it got so lively in the mornings! It's a great place to take your family out to eat and their menu is quite large! We got the Paris Crepe Combo (w/eggs and bacon), Fresona Crepe, Jamaica Juice and Iced Blended coffee. I also ordered a paris crepe and hobo skillet to go and can attest to quality to-go orders as well as dine in! I will definitely be coming back here everytime I'm back in the area. read more

Very friendly service. Latin American ambiance with green aesthetic. It can get packed. Expect a short wait on a Sunday afternoon- they will text after joining the waitlist. Indoor and outdoor seating options. Upon being seated, we ordered Cafe de Olla (I recommend!) and bought a hand-crafted mug as well, which we had the option to use for the coffee order. Sunny side up eggs we got were still raw but Chilaquiles Verde was good. The potatoes could've used a little more flavor but great with some Tapatio. Waffles weren't good, a mistake ordering a German breakfast in a Mexican cocina lol. Strawberries seemed defrosted instead of fresh. We think the waffles were made out of tortilla batter and did not taste good. Paid too much for it. The hostesses and servers were very kind and welcoming, frequently checked in on us. Sometime ago, we ordered takeout and enjoyed the Pesto Chicken Panini. Would like to try their other sandwiches in the future. read more

Caramelo Cafe - Veggie Skillet with Over Hard Eggs and Sausage Links. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - La Puente, California

I stopped by earlier today in the morning at around 11am and was greeted by the sweet hostess. The wait to be seated was pretty fast around 20 min for a full house. The servers were nice and attentive. The food was AMAZING, definitely homey. If youre looking for good delectable comfort food this is just the place. I ordered my chipotle chilaquiles with steak ranchera. And my friend ordered the Paris crepe which was so pretty and appetizing. Recommend. read more

Arrived and was seated immediately. Service was a tad bit slow but good quality nonetheless. Ordered a blended vanilla coffee and as a former Starbucks barista it was definitely better tasting! We ordered the red chilaquiles, el Gordo, and a Fraise Crepe. Chilaquiles are a bit on the spicy side if you're sensitive to spice levels but had a good crunch to them. Portions are on the bigger side, I couldn't finish the Gordo on my own! The Crepe was DELICIOUS, one of my favorite so far! I will say for them being busy and it looks like business is going well, they should really upgrade their tables and chairs. Other than that great authentic Mexican food, reminded me of my grandmas cooking. read more

I usually come here and have a really great time. Today not so much. Don't get me wrong, the food was really great, but we waited an hour and 45 minutes to be seated. We were thinking about leaving but decided to wait since we had been there for 30 mins. It seemed as though the service is a little unorganized as we noticed many tables were free for a few minutes without anyone sitting. Our food came at weird times too. We received 2/4 people's food first, then our drinks, then 15 minutes later the other 2/4 got their food. Unfortunately there was a mistake with the order as well so that person had to wait even longer. We got there at 12:40 and left after 3. read more

We have been trying to eat here for a long time, we knew about the Amar location but every time we've tried going it's been really busy. This location is less busy and even the location seems better than the Amar location. The staff were great, everyone was very friendly. We sat in the patio which is not huge but very well kept and clean. The food was delicious. We like the selection specially the crepes. Will definitely come back. read more

Recently visited the amar location and wanted to give this one a try. Definitely different vibe parking lot is small shared with other business. Inside I very small and loud from the metal chairs and tile floor. The food was on point and good I got the chilariito which is basically a burrito with chilaquiles and my wife got the chilaquiles chipotle with chicken. We were disappointed in the coffee options after visiting the other location we assumed they'd have the same options. I recommend the Caramelo on amar if you like space. Other than that I loved the experience. The service was good and I appreciate the professionalism. read more

I have been a fan of Caramelos ever since they first opened in La Puente and happy they expanded over to the east side. The original Caramelos is so popular now the wait times were too much for me. My sis and I stopped in for a quick breakfast on our way to work, arrived at 8a on a Friday there was only one other party there but by 9a the crowd started rolling in. We weren't too hungry so we shared a savory Country Crepe and added breakfast potatoes that also came with 2 eggs and 2 sausage (we really only wanted the potatoes and thought the eggs and sausage came in the crepe). The crepe itself was huge, had lots of ham but lacked some sauce or melted cheese inside to tie it all together. The side of green salsa was yummy and had a little kick to it. Our server was very nice and came to check on us a few times. We will surely be back to enjoy their expanded menu. read more

Caramelo Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - La Puente, California

I was just here last Friday morning, and I did write that I would return to try their crepe. Well, I came back with 2 family members who are chilaquilles lovers! I told them that I really thought they were delicious and I'm happy to write that they were not disappointed! We decided to share their strawberry crepe with caramel, pecans, sweetened condensed milk, and whipped cream... Oh my goodness, it was beyond delicious!! The picture shows that we nearly licked the plate clean! Today, our servers, Rosario, Fernando and Sasha, were just as wonderful as Niellie!! Our water glasses stayed refreshed, and Sasha brought a house salsa and a chipotle sauce for my sister, who prefers a little more heat! Come for the delicious food, sit back and enjoy their 5 star service! read more

Caramelo Cafe - El gordo - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - La Puente, California

Well the ambiance is great, it has great curb appeal outside. However I was expecting the place to be much bigger. I believe the inside seating is probably enough for like 30 people and outside another 20. Anyways the staff are really friendly and very nice, they treat everyone with kindness and they have great customer service. The food is really tasty and looks homemade so you get the real authentic flavor. Definitely would come back to try other dishes!!! Great food and reasonable prices....way to go guys!! read more

Caramelo Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - La Puente, California

I was excited to try this place as La Puente desperately needs more family friendly, modern, sit-down restaurants. Came Sunday morning for breakfast, and were told it was going to be 15 mins. With the long line of people ahead of us, I was surprised they only said 15. However, once we received a text alert our table was ready, I was told by the host that she just needs to clean the table. No problem. But then we had to wait another 10 minutes for them to actually wipe down the table. Also, they waited for the entire outdoor patio to clear out, and then sat down all 5 tables at the same time, which is covered by one waitress. They're immediately setting themself up for failure with this strategy. Next, after sitting down, we didn't get waited on for another 10 mins, when by now, you'd expect we'd at least have water and silverware! We chose to order our drinks and food all together because I knew this was going to take a long time. After about 15 mins of ordering, I'm looking around, and no one has received a single cup of coffee, water, or any drink. Absolutely ridiculous. We ended up receiving the sides of our breakfast before any drink, or silverware showed up. Super bizarre. Another 5-10 mins after that, then our waffles appeared. Meanwhile, I could hear other tables reaching out to the server to order (mind you they sat down at the same time as us, 20 mins+ ago). Also meanwhile, there was a girl who sat down after ALL of us, got her food before us, and the gentleman working there kept taking care of her. As someone who has worked in restaurants, it blows my mind you would ever serve someone food before giving them their ordered drinks, let alone water, first. They give you a good amount of food, and prices are fair. However, there was something off about the taste of the waffles. They tasted exactly like they used pancake mix rather than waffles. And the inside was mushy and not cooked all the way through, even though the food was hot. This was the first time in my life I didn't finish a waffle due to the taste. This place has a lot of potential, and while the host and waitress were really nice, it's clear there is ZERO management going on at Caramelo Cafe. I think this could be a great place to get food to-go, but dining in here was a terrible experience. To whoever the manager is, get involved and learn how to operate a restaurant efficiently. read more

Food /service was not what we were expecting. Got a wad of semi cooked potatoes(some mushy some hard no flavor), cold chorizo, burned coffee and slow service. Just not great. read more

The best spot to eat by far! The service is always so amazing and fast, everyone here is always so kind and welcoming! The food is always so delicious and comes out fast. I always feel comfortable coming whether it's with my sister or whole family!! I love this place, I highly recommend. read more

Caramelo Cafe - Egg and Ham Melt with Vanilla Iced Coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - La Puente, California

Finally got to try Caramelo's second location. Food and coffee are just as delicious and service was quick! Also love that they have an outdoor area. Interior isn't as decked out as the original location, but it still pays homage to its vibe. Not a big deal, but they forgot to cook our eggs over easy and also charged us for two cafe de ollas instead of regular coffee. Considering we were the only 2 there, this could've been noted better. This is why I removed a star. Of course, they fixed our receipt promptly after telling them. :) Still the same old Caramelo at the end of the day. Definitely coming back in the future! read more

The food here is good but the customer service needs improving. We came after noon on Saturday and everyone just seemed to be flustered and scrambling. I got there and I had to join the Yelp wait list, shouldn't they be able to add me to their own list? I guess not. But I obliged and put myself on the wait list. Another group showed up and I over heard that the hostess had given their table to someone else. Then we finally got sat and we placed our order pretty quick. Everyone and no one seemed to he our waitress/waiter. I had to ask for a regular coffee refill. My husband's plate came out first and it was cold. About 5 minutes later mine came out, the server spilled salsa all over me. No one ever came back to check on us, offer more coffee, make sure I was still good after having salsa spilled all over me. For a $60 breakfast I expected more. Definitely going to be a to go only place for us now if at all. read more

Great food! We had the chilaquiles, my son had a breakfast burrito! Huge portions! The cafe de olla is the BEST!!! Crepes are the bomb! We had the banana foster one!!! Great service!!!

Love this spot! Delicious food, big portions, great beverage options, etc. The absolute best Mexican breakfast. The Texan skillet is so good and filling for 3 people! Only downside the prices for the drinks are way too high. Made the check 25 more dollars just for 3 drinks. Overall, love to come here. read more

Caramelo Cafe - Hot chocolate/coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - La Puente, California

The food was mediocre. I've been to the other location and thought I'd give this one a try since the wait seemed short and we were in the area. Note that this location doesn't have any espresso drinks -- so I opted out for any drinks. I think they use Folgers coffee (saw someone come out with the containers). Ambience, probably nicer to sit outside. We sat inside and it was just ok. Service was ok, the employees all seemed nice. Country crepe: would not recommend - It says it comes with tomatoes, but it didn't come with any. - flavor was bland, no seasoning, no sauce, didn't seem like any butter was used. - mushrooms seemed almost raw - cheese doesn't melt, didn't even notice cheese till you dig into the bottom of the crepe - eggs tasted very plain, over cooked, dry Cordon blue crepe: would not recommend - chicken was dry/tough - sauce was good and not salty - overall flavor was ok Unfortunately, we won't be coming back. read more

From a happy customer: First time I eat inside this location because I've only visited the location on Amar previously. The reason I came in to a late lunch today was because of their green chilaquiles photo on their Instagram story. Pros: Food: Food is AMAZING! It's like you are eating at home. And they hands down have the best Cafe De Olla I've ever had! I had the green chilaquiles made just the way I like them (lots of sour cream and cheese on top), sautéed potatoes and scrambled eggs. I also had the "Flameada" crepe which is filled with cream cheese, Nutella, and topped with flambé bananas. Service: I was greeted by Sasha when I sat down at the table. She is an excellent server and has a very welcoming smile. Great job on whoever hired her. She went the extra mile to make sure that I got my order exactly how I requested it. I admire the entire staff at both locations because it is obvious how much they care about providing the best service. Sasha made sure to ask me if everything was to my liking and always with a smile. I acknowledge her for her exemplary personality and work ethic, thank you!!! Ambiance: The Valinda location is very clean and cozy. You can either eat inside or on the outdoor patio. Cons: ZERO. You won't regret choosing to dine here, enjoy!!! read more
