    Matcha latte & breakfast burrito
    Valerie C.

    Everyday Eatery continues to be a neighborhood favorite. Service is friendly, food is delicious and fresh. It is a great spot for a casual brunch and lunch.

    Morning Market Scramble
    Kyle H.

    This is my first time at Everyday Eatery in Irvine. It is located in a strip mall next to other small eateries. There is lots of parking out front. The interior space is rudimentary with 5 small tables and 1 shared high table and stools in the middle. There is a Large common Outdoor area with lots of tables under Large umbrellas. As you walk in, right in front of you , you will find a basket with menus in it. Grab a menu so you could decide on what to order while waiting in line. I think this is a great idea and it saves time. Also, the menu is written with large prints which is always a plus. I did not have to use my reading glasses. You order first, grab your number and find a table. The menu is really simple, but on point. (See full menu in photos) I ordered the morning market scramble. It is scrambled eggs with veggies. Side of breakfast potatoes extra crispy. And salad. It was really good. The portion was generous. I also got a cardamom rose latte iced with oat milk, and one pump of syrup instead of three. It is one of their specialty drinks. It wasn't anything special. It was just as good as anywhere else. The prices are average.the service is really friendly and the food is good. I recommend trying everyday eatery for a quick and satisfying bite any day of the week.

    Essentials breakfast (gf) option
    Cathy G.

    We checked out the menu for gf options and reviews before going here for breakfast. They were accurate. The coffee and food was delicious. I wanted to try the Spanish latte but t was "oh so" delicious. I ordered the Essentials since it had the gf option. It came with a salad. It seems more places are serving a side salad with breakfast now or maybe it's because mine was a gf meal. I'm so happy they did t have an extra charge because my meal was gf. Luckily we got there at the right time because the line got longer after we ordered. You place your order then they bring the food out to you. The staff members are cheerful and helpful. Must be a fun place to work. There is eating inside and out.

    This breakfast place is so cute and they have some really creative menu items. They are open until 3 pm so I'm getting an iced matcha non fat latte. It's quick and easy and I stopped in to check it out. They also have a lot of gluten-free breakfast items which are relatively healthy

    French Toast Forever
    Abbe W.

    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.

    Close up of the lemon ricotta hotcakes :)

    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!

    Breakfast Burrito
    Kathryn G.

    Amazing breakfast burrito! I ordered mine with the turkey sausage, and I was not disappointed. The eggs were fluffy, sausage not overdone, crisp potatoes, and good sauce!

    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.

    Lemon Ricotta Hotcakes and The Essentials
    Grace T.

    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!

    That's where you order

    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.

    Spanish Lattes, French Toast Forever and Bacon Breakfast Burrito
    Mikki C.

    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)

    Raven R.

    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!

    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!

    Hello, what brands do you use for chai and matcha? Thank you.

    HI there! We use Mizuba Matcha and Inteligencia Chai.

    Are dogs allowed?

    Only service dogs are allowed inside but there is patio seating where they can be

    Besides the sweet foods and breakfast sandwiches (can't have eggs), are there options that onion/garlic/scallions/chives/etc can be removed? I know there are sauces and seasonings but I'm unsure if they contain alliums (those foods listed above)?

    I highly recommend our Vegan Scramble with Brown Rice (instead of the quinoa; containing onions). This is one of my favorite dishes on the menu, and meets your dietary requirements!

    Can you please have a separate line for patrons who only want to order to-go drinks? It doesn't make sense to stand in super long lines just for a latte ☹️

    Absolutely! If you're ever after beverages only, you are welcome to come to the to-go table and we can jump the line for drinks!

    On the weekends, when will phone and online ordering be back?

    Our focus is to provide the best possible in-store dining experience, and in peak times we've found it necessary to stop the flood of orders we receive online, and sometimes by phone, to prevent long wait times. We recommend placing your order early… 

    Is there outdoor seating right now?

    Yes there is shared outdoor space. Shared space is for all restaurant patrons in the plaza.

    Do they have WiFi?

    Hi there. Sand Canyon Plaza has guest wifi services for the whole plaza, and there are conventional plugs and phone charging points at a number of locations outside. Hope this helps.

    Does this place take reservations?

    We are counter-service, and you don't need reservations to come eat here. We have plenty of outdoor seating and there is no problem finding a table.

    Is it laptop friendly?

    Is it laptop friendly 😂 😂 go to Barnes & Noble or Starbucks

    Do you guys have lavender syrup for coffee?

    Your timing is perfect! We make all of our syrups in house, and we are adding lavender to the menu tomorrow!

    What vegan breakfast options do you have?

    We have vegan options for our Avo Toast and Maple Olive Oil Granola, and our Macro Bowl is vegan too. Currently, we have a vegan carrot cake as well. In the coming weeks, we are launching a vegan scramble bowl with tofu and veges, and a vegan… 

    Do they have any high chairs for kids?

    No high chairs sorry.

    Are you a nut free restaurant?

    No, sorry, we are not nut-free.

    Can I order breakfast at lunch time?

    Yes, last time I went at lunch time I was able to order breakfast.

    Is there outdoor seating so that we can our dog?

    Yes, plenty outside.

    Can they make whole grain pancakes?

    Right now we have a house-made hotcake batter using ricotta and other ingredients. It is not a whole-grain recipe, and we don't have a gluten free option for this dish.

    Do you serve organic coffee?

    We serve Stumptown 'Hairbender' blend espresso, and House blend for our brewed coffee. The emphasis is on having the highest quality and consistency, and on ethical farming and trading practices. Although Stumptown does offer some organic varieties,… 

    Is the ricotta pancakes gluten free?

    No, sorry. Our Green Brekkie Bowl, omelette, essentials plate and huevos rancheros are all gluten free though.

    Do they have organic milk for espresso drinks? Thanks!

    Yes they have many expresso drinks

    Do they do takeout?

    Yes I call and order before going to work

They are located in the same plaza as Brodard, Vox Kitchen, Rol Handbar, etc. in Fountain Valley. This location is open later than the other Airoma. They use ceremonial matcha which makes a huge difference. I ordered the strawberry matcha latte (74% sweet) after trying one previously in LA. I paid and waited for my order to be ready. After a few minutes, I received my order. I shook it up and tried it. Delicious! Even better than I remembered. My husband who doesn't usually enjoy matcha, tried it and liked it. He does not dig the earthy taste, but this drink changed his perspective. Airoma made my husband a believer in matcha. We do not usually go out too often for matcha, but when I'm in the mood next, this place will be a must visit. I'll have to try their egg coffee in the future too.

The drink also came out extremely fast (in less than five minutes)! Ambiance: The study/work area is so nice with so many tables inside and work areas, including swings, outside! There is free Wi-Fi, which they write at the end of their glass serving window. My only feedback would be that it's a little difficult to use the restroom, as you take a key card from the front of the cafe and scan it at another building across to use. Think it could be helpful if they would put out a few more key cards. Otherwise, such a wonderful study/work space, and I will definitely be back for the security that I can find a seat! You can even come a bit later in the morning and find seating, especially outside. Parking is easy, as there are many free, unmarked spots in front of the cafe. Lastly, the cafe is located under the OneDigital building, and you know you're there because there are string lights on top! Please come here for a reliable study/work spot! Also, their hours are from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM everyday, so come early if you can. Hope you try this place out!

I could hold off no longer and had to visit this charming boutique with cascading blush and ivory. A breathtaking floral wall welcomes you inside and invites you to take a seat. As you enter, greetings from staff echo from the counter. Do you check out the shop or grab a drink and browse? Whatever you do, do not skip the banana cold foam on your drink if you love banana! The hospitality here is evident the moment you walk in. Staff were ready to take our order, answer questions and even checked to see if our drinks were to our liking. Think fashionable design meets European charm for the interior atmosphere, right down to the plates. Morning Lavender offers table seating as well as booths and can accommodate large parties for events. Now for the good stuff- let's talk an Iced Mocha with extra chocolate and an Iced Chai Tea Latte with Banana Cream Foam. The Mocha with extra chocolate was indulgent and velvety with the espresso seamlessly intertwined. A decadent treat to enjoy as the morning started to warm up into the afternoon. Just a suggestion for those who enjoy the richer side of coffee and espresso. A dash of a bit more cream would've added that refined richness. The star of the morning was definitely the Iced Chia Tea Latte with Banana Cream Foam. The description of cold cream hardly captures and embodies what this Banana Cold Foam really is. Think lusciously thick banana smoothie topping off your drink. Impossibly creamy and bursting with ripe banana. Crowning the drink sat a slice of banana bathed on one side in a caramelized sauce similar to crème brûlée. Crunchy peanuts generously scattered on top, making an irresistible contrast in texture. This drink was truly an exceptional culinary experience. I will be back again and again for the Banana Cold Foam.
