I'm always skeptical of such a highly rated brunch spot. Bc brunch food is easy to make but is it really THAT good here? Answer is yes! Wait time was perfect. Wasn't too long. All of our food came out fresh. I had the scramble and side salad. Salad was fresh and just enough dressing on it. I tried my friend's lemon ricotta hotcakes and it was sooooo good. Perfectly fluffy. Great lemon flavor and that butter they make is to die for. Don't get it if you are borderline diabetic. Get something else. Bc you'll want to eat more and more. But it's the perfect amount of sweet. It's not overpowering. I also ordered their seasonal ube matcha latte and that was delicious. Service was friendly. And one of the girls was seen scrubbing clean a toddler high chair. Most places have sticky high chairs. Seeing her wipe and scrub it down in all the creases let me know this place is well taken care of. Glad we stopped by. read more

Their coffee is honestly worth the wait during peak hours. All their lattes especially the Spanish latte, I will suffer through parking for. Parking is the absolute worst. The plaza itself is one straight line with a Starbucks in the middle of it. Nightmare to get in and out of. Hope you have your legs still after walking to and from your car with the way people drive in this parking lot. Their food is sooo mid. I've tried their lunch items. I've tried their breakfast. I don't get it. It's not even mid, I'm sorry. At least it's better than Denny's. read more

We were on vacation and came across this place. Their Spanish coffee was very good, and they also offer a ice, which is very nice since it was scorching hot outside lol They have a few tables inside the restaurant, which is nice, but because this is somewhat of a strip mall, there is also seating outside. The outside seating area is spacious and a share amongst other restaurants in that strip mall. We decided to sit outside so they brought the food to us, which is a nice add. We tried their breakfast burrito, their avocado, toast, and their chicken club sandwich. I have to say, the potatoes were amazing! They use sourdough bread, which is my absolute favorite and you can tell that it is fresh. The avocado was delicious on the toast as well. The burrito is very good and also a huge portion just as the rest of the food. All in all, if we ever go back to Irvine, we know where to go for breakfast and brunch ! read more

I have been wanting to try this place for the longest time and finally came here to celebrate the belated Mother's Day for my girls "day" out. The place is located in a food court strip mall that is surrounded by businesses. As a result, this strip mall gets very busy around lunch time. The place has healthy options. I ordered the Turkey Pesto Sandwich with a side of salad since it was a brunch gathering. The portion was perfect and filling too. Taste was spot on. After I finished my lunch, I didn't feel super stuffed at all. Seeing they have breakfast options, a few days later I brought my daughter over for early breakfast. We ordered the French Toast Forever and Espresso Mascarpone Waffle. They were delicious and beautifully presented. My daughter and I came around 7:30 am on a Sunday morning. There was no crowd at all. Service was quick and the staff were very friendly and helpful. My daughter approved of the place and we'll be coming back again. read more

I decided to try something different this time and ordered the Baja sandwich instead of my usual breakfast burrito. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed. Every time I took a bite, the bottom of the sandwich was so watery that it made my fingers wet while I was holding it. It seemed like there was too much moisture, which made the sandwich messy and took away from the overall experience. The flavors were okay, but the texture wasn't enjoyable because of how soggy it became. I should have stuck with my regular breakfast burrito, which has always been great. Hopefully this was just an off day, because I've had better experiences here in the past. read more

I have been here twice (2 days in a row). I ordered a hot Cappuccino with almond milk. The coffee only comes in a single size (hence, the traditional way). But, the coffee is very tasty! I also ordered an egg whites breakfast burrito with tomatoes and spinach. At 7AM in the morning, the line is quite non-existent and the parking is plentiful. This is also during the weekdays. The service was outstanding. I am coming back for the coffee. read more

I came here for the first time over the weekend and loved the food here. The essentials: the standard, typical American breakfast with eggs, breakfast potatoes, choice between bacon/sausage, and toast or salad. The breakfast potatoes were good and flavorful. We picked sausage, but unfortunately they offer turkey sausage here instead of pork (so it's a little dry and bland). It's what you can expect from an American breakfast and a solid breakfast option Lemon ricotta hotcakes: The portion size is HUGE! I definitely recommend sharing with another person unless you have a large pancake appetite, haha. The honeycomb butter is sooooo delicious. I didn't even feel like I needed syrup for the pancakes after spreading the butter :) Nice lemon flavor, but I definitely wished it was a little more prominent Even though the line looks long, it does move quickly and I like that they had an employee managing the line inside and outside :) There's only a limited amount of seating inside, but plenty of tables outdoors. Considering how crowded it was, the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Plenty of parking in the lot. I would definitely come back! read more

Loved our experience here. Food was fantastic, staff were friendly and the owner even came out and asked if we needed anything and also told us about special kids items we could order that aren't on the menu. My coffee was perfect and not overwhelming with the rose flavor. Food portions were pretty big and I would love to come back next time I visit! read more

Wonderful service and very friendly and attentive staff. They were quick to taking orders and dropping by to serve the food. Wait time is so minimal. Guests are quiet and polite, everyone was smiling and happy including staff. A few things I didn't like was that they had a drinking water dispenser with cups on the side by a window by the front door, but there was no ice in the water dispenser container. The water was sitting by the sun, so it was very warm. It was a very hot morning, so I would have enjoyed ice cold water. A side of scrambled eggs were also $5.00 and I didn't think it tasted that great. Regardless, thank you for such a nice breakfast! I will definitely come back because I enjoyed the vibes here. The lemon ricotta pancakes are absolutely fluffy and delicious with really good quality fresh fruit. It's worth the price considering the taste and portion size. I highly recommend. read more

Being in the area once a week, we decided we would try a new place each time. Today, we stumbled upon EVERYDAY EATERY. Located in a big shopping plaza, with lots of parking available, we grabbed breakfast. There are a few tables inside, which were all mostly taken, which is a good sign for a Tuesday morning. But there are plenty of tables outside as well. We got The Essentials which consists of eggs, breakfast potatoes, bacon or turkey sausage, and toast or salad. Had to try the lemon ricotta hotcakes which were my favorite. So fluffy and absolutely delicious. I also tried their cardamom rose latte which was really good, too! Overall, we enjoyed our breakfast here. Staff is friendly, place is clean, and food is great! read more

I haven't been here in quite a number of years so I thought I would give their breakfast burrito a try based on the strong reviews. I was not disappointed!! The server was kind enough to give me an extra salsa when I asked for it. I'm accustomed to having spicy salsa which this was not but it paired well with the burrito. I can't say I've ever had a chicken breakfast burrito but this was surprisingly good. First of all, it was temperature hot which I appreciate. The tortilla was browned and thin which is perfect. The only thing I would change next time, is to go lighter on the cheese. I ate half and saved the other half for breakfast the following day. The ambiance is bright and open. There was plenty of seating on this Thursday morning. This place is quite popular on weekends!! read more

Today's trip was to try brunch and we were impressed! The customer service was sublime and we ordered: -French toast forever (a tad burnt and definitely needs more "stuffing". The stuffing was so light it kinda appeared like melted butter) -Breakfast bacon burrito (a little too salty, and the salsa it came with was delicious) -Spanish Lattes (best I ever had) read more

I got a chance to visit Everyday Eatery today and had an average experience. Food: I ordered the scrambled egg sandwich with breakfast potatoes. The sandwich was delicious and so was the breakfast potatoes. I also got to try the hot coffee which was also good. Service: The service here was average at best. You pay tip for them to bring you the food and you order at the counter. Ambiance: The decor inside is nice but the seating is not very comfortable. read more

We had a chance to try out this restaurant for breakfast this week. It is located along Irvine Center Drive, near Sand Canyon. We went in, sat down and waited. No one came to us? Strange? I went to the counter and was told you must stand in line and order your food. I grabbed a menu, read it, made a selection, and was given the option of 18 to 25 percent tip. What for? I did everything. Oh, they brought the food to me. Here we go again? A DYS restaurant. This seems to be happening everywhere. Restaurant owners are designing their service as DYS. Have we lost the value of human contact? Have we all given up on the value of humanity? Twenty years ago, everywhere you went, we talked to each other; now, it's tablet, cell phone, texting, tap your card, DYS eating. I asked for a coffee. They gave me a small paper cup. The coffee is really good, but not in a mug? No refills? The food came. It was okay. We sat shoulder to shoulder with other customers on a steel wire chair. It was not very comfortable at all. It would have been nice to talk to someone who worked there, but again, they just do their job and don't have time for chit chat. No reason, they are not earning tips. I rather go to Dennys up the street. They at least serve you and talk to you. The whole experience was Okay. read more

This is a cute cafe located in a busy shopping center with plenty of stores nearby. You order at the cashier, take your seat, and are served at the table via number. Everyone here was very nice, the cafe was clean, and it was busy but not overwhelming. We ordered the avocado toast with a side of eggs, the essentials plate, a rose latte, and an orange juice. Before tip, it was $60, which I thought was a little expensive for breakfast but given the area and the aesthetic it kind of fit the bill. The ingredients were fresh, but I did feel the avocado toast could've been seasoned more but not a big deal since they had salt and pepper on the table. I loved the mint/feta/sesame combo. Unfortunately, my husband was still hungry after his meal (and he's not normally a big eater). I think it would be valued more if the breakfast plate had just a bit more of the potato or an extra slice of toast. read more

This is a nice place for breakfast! It gets crowded on weekends so prepare for a long line but it goes by quickly. You seat yourselves and while there is limited space inside, there is plenty of outdoor seating. The staff is really nice and the owner kept checking in on us which was sweet. We got organic chai to drink. For food items, we got lemon ricotta hotcakes, breakfast burritto with bacon, and a side of house made potatoes. Organic Chai- Served hot with just the right amount of sweetness and spiciness. A comforting drink for cold weather. House Potatoes- Served hot, crisp, and perfectly seasoned. The chipotle aioli is smoky with a little kick of heat. Lemon Ricotta Hotcakes- The hotcakes were soft and fluffy. They give sliced bananas and berries for a fruity accent. The honeycomb butter was the best part! It added sweetness and a crunchy texture that elevated the dish. Breakfast Burritto- You can pick a protein and we went with bacon which was crisp and meaty. The burritto was loaded with eggs, potatoes, green onion and cheese. Chipotle aioli and roasted salsa tie the flavors together. Very filling! Great experience overall! read more

I finally made it here to try. However, on this Saturday, the line was extremely long. We probably waited over an hour in line and then to get our food. However, they did move OK. I really wanted to try the food, so I was willing to wait. They have a variety of the new options. I settled for the chicken and avo salad. I really enjoyed the jalapeño citrus dressing. I would definitely come back again. My coffee I also got the homemade peppermint syrup as a latte and I enjoyed that as well. Friendly staff. read more

Always a long line but food seems fresh. I always get the breakfast burrito. The sauce on the side and pico are good with it. I've had the coffee french toast and that was good too. Seating inside isn't really my cup of tea but outside is fine but always crowded. Never had an issue getting a table though. Bathroom is not the cutest. There's like a weird funky stale smell, probably due to no ventilation. I would not try to come and eat here if you are in a rush. There will be a line and though the wait for the food isn't long it's not quick either. read more

This was my first time coming here for breakfast, though I've been here many times for lunch, both dining in and getting takeout. It was much less busy than usual, which was a nice surprise. I ordered the lemon ricotta hot cakes--something I'd always been curious about but never tried since I'm not usually a pancake person. They turned out to be really good and are definitely shareable. I could only finish about a hot cake and a half. The brown sugar butter on top was especially delicious and added so much flavor. The restaurant is usually busy, but today it was calm, and I was able to get a table inside right away. The place is cute, and the wait time for the ricotta hot cakes was shorter than expected. Overall, it was a pleasant breakfast experience. read more

Found this place while looking for a quick and quiet breakfast place, not too far from Irvine Spectrum. Nice cafe with indoor and outdoor seating and a good spread for breakfast. Tried their Spinach omelet with feta and got a mocha with almond milk. The omelet was perfect, loads of spinach, not overtly greasy/buttery and the feta just balanced it perfectly. I appreciated the generous side of greens that came along with it. The mocha really hit the spot for me - not too sweet and chocolate was good quality. All in all, exceeded my expectations. Service was great- friendly and attentive. I highly recommend going here if you're in the area! read more

I really want to love this place, especially since it is walking distance from my work, but I am never impressed whenever I go... The vibes are nice (shoutout to the guy who was wearing a strawberry dress shirt- you have impeccable customer service!) and the food is okay... but nothing gives a "Wow" (including their breakfast burrito, which is apparently one of their best items)... besides the salsa... maybe. I've tried the lemon ricotta pancakes, as well as a rice bowl, and a few drinks, but my friend and I both agreed it's forgettable read more

Looking for breakfast nearby and found this place on YELP. So glad we tried it! Everyone on the staff could not have been nicer. You order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. We ordered The Essential, which was the standard egg breakfast with potatoes, protein, and toast. There was nothing standard about it. Both the bacon and the turkey sausage were delicious, the eggs were cooked to our specifications, and the sourdough toast was yummy, although I wish they would have buttered it for me when it was still hot, instead of bringing me a pat of butter to do it myself at the table. The Brekkie Potatoes were a delight-just roasted potatoes with salt, pepper, and thyme. The Spring Special Honey Lavender Latte is, in itself, a reason to come here. In the photo, I dug in before I snapped it, so some of the food is missing, but you get the idea. Recommended! read more

Wow definitely we got here early after our KP 5K race that morning (11am). Plenty of parking to snag a spot but we know this place is popping.

The waiter brought this plate hot and it was magnificent!!! The pour of the syrup and the fresh fruits made it so yummy! Definitely will return again for other items since my friends got the burritos. Thanks Everday! read more

We pulled up today and got all our usual favs because this place just never disappoints. Between the four of us we ordered the Nourish Bowl, Turkey Pesto Sandwich, Breakfast Burrito, and the Morning Market Scramble -- and everything tasted super fresh and balanced like always. The nourish bowl is one of those bowls that actually fills you up (the pickled onions + seeds + avocado combo is fire). The turkey pesto sandwich is so underrated -- the bread is fluffy, the pesto is herby, and the potatoes on the side are always perfectly seasoned. The breakfast burrito is huge, cheesy, and packed with potatoes in the best way. And the morning market scramble is just a solid, feel-good plate with veggies and toast done right. Drinks are consistent too -- smooth matcha, strong iced coffee, never watery. Nothing crazy, nothing overhyped -- just genuinely good food we keep coming back for. One of our favorite casual spots in Irvine. read more

DELICIOUS!!! Beautiful sunny weather and beautiful drinks and food on the patio. Everything is so refreshing and relaxing here I would come here every weekend if I could! We ate outside since we had our yorkie which was dog friendly with other dogs around us. The menu had gluten free and vegan options. Had to get the lemon ricotta hotcakes which was so good with fresh fruit! The House made honeycomb butter had tiny honeycomb crunches that added a nice texture. I do wish the hotcakes was more lemony as it was very light tasting. But besides my own preference, it was so so good. The rose latte was also a nice pairing for my brunch!

Line out the door, Everyday eatery caught my attention and I was not disappointed! The staff are so friendly and accommodating before and after you get your food! You'll have to order at the register first, take your number, and then find a table inside or outside. We brought our cat with us and staff were very nice coming by to say hi! I ordered their breakfast burrito! At $16.50, it was a little pricey but it was so delicious! The Monterey Jack Cheese was so tasty with their chipotle!

I was in a sweet breakfast mood today so I went with one of their signatures: lemon ricotta hotcakes. There was a disclaimer on the menu that it takes a bit longer to cook, but it came out at the same time as my friends, who didn't order it, so don't be too worried. The amount of lemon in the batter was just the right amount. It was enough to know there was lemon but not too much to overpower the dish. The ricotta made the batter more fluffy, moist, and light enough that I could finish the whole plate without feeling stuffed. It comes topped with honeycomb butter, but I honestly think the pancakes are sweet enough without it. I added a bit of maple syrup with some of my bites which made it just right. We came on a Friday during lunch, so there was hardly a wait and we were able to easily find a table outside. It's interesting that you have to pay first, though, and then find a seat. read more

Found this place on yelp after I was in the area and craving breakfast food. Surprisingly, the line wasn't too long yet on a Saturday at 9am when I arrived, but there was plenty of people already enjoying their food. The store itself was very nice and clean. There's limited seating inside, but plenty of outdoor seating for you to enjoy the nice SoCal weather. The line went pretty fast, and my food came out actually relatively quickly for how busy it was. The staff themselves were all really friendly and really attentive. I ordered the lemon ricotta hotcakes which were really good. A little on the sweet side, but nothing too overwhelming especially if you like sweeter breakfast foods. But the butter that comes on top top really made the dish stand out. Plus the presentation was really on point. I also ordered the iced matcha strawberry drink which I also thought was pretty good if you're a fan of matcha and strawberry. I can see myself coming back and trying their other savory breakfast options. read more
