    Quinoa bowl with two sunny side up eggs
    Heather T.

    Service - A+ (friendly, fast, welcoming, food comes out quickly) Food - we have only come here for breakfast several times. I want to come for lunch as the menu looks amazing. Scrambled eggs with ham - with a side of tomatoes. Delicious. Quinoa bowl with two eggs over medium - comes with potatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms, avocado, quinoa, shredded cheese. You have the option of bacon or ham - I always choose diced ham. This is my absolutely favorite item on the menu. All their drinks were fantastic - black coffee (strong), vanilla latte (great) served in a Christmas mug (fun!), hot chocolate (great), hot honey ginger tea (very very yummy). The toast is served slathered in butter and with a tiny side of grape jelly. The grape jelly is AMAZING. I could eat an entire vat of that jelly by itself!!!! Highly recommend this place - it's off the beaten path restaurant. It's located on the corner/street side of Cerritos nestled within a small business park.

    Cute lil hole in the wall. Seems like a local spot. Casual dining, attentive staff, fast service. A place where the usuals come serving the community and service folk. Very huge portions, shouldn't leave hungry. Good prices during these times. Mom n pop spot.

    Ortega Melt w/ fries.  Keepin' it simple.  :)

    Hidden place, cute atmosphere stopped in on a whim. First off, great service as I came in close to closing but they would not let me leave and happily served me with a smile (I try really hard not to be that person coming in right at closing). The breakfast options look great so I'll need to return with the fam some morning. Ordered an Ortega Melt as that one of my lunch staples, on point. :)

    Great breakfast spot with very friendly staff. My omelet was cooked to perfection and my hash-browns were nice and crisp. I like the fact food is unsalted to allow me to salt at my own risk. I did not get the young ladies name who was my server but she was a sweetheart. Great atmosphere with staff greeting anyone walking in.

    They did it again with the mango matcha tonic! On the slightly sweeter side of tonics (which…read moreusually do not run sweet), yet you can taste the matcha well. It was extremely refreshing on a hot day, though I wish there were more! It felt liek therr was more than 3/4 full ice in there. Wowee the matcha cookie with white chocolate chips was pricey at $5.25 for a larger than homemade but flatish cookie, but it did hit the spot. Would I buy it again? Maybe if it were a little more cooked or I was craving a matcha cookie (my preference) with my amazing drink from here. Tip: do participate in their rewards program (enter phone number on the square checkout screen), as you can get a free drink after purchase of 10 (or maybe even fewer?) drinks or snacks. Also I think everyone and their mom went to IHOP, jack in tbe box, or that brunch place around 1015 AM on one of the hottest Aug Sats of my life, cuz parking took a circle around the lot to find! Despite my criticisms, I LOVE this place for drinks and would recommend to specialty- matcha and coffee lovers alike. Worth a drive!

Also the logo here is just sooo cute. I ordered the Einspanner and my friend ordered this Earl Grey latte(?), but of us really liked our drinks! Although, I felt like the einspanner was also really sweet on the top? Normally I would also drink that too, but it was too sweet for me to enjoy lol. We also got an almond croissant to share which it was really nice and soft. Although I wish it was more crispy flaky. Overall, still a pretty good coffee shop to visit in the area! Solid choice. Would likely try another drink instead of the einspanner.

    Arc, you continue to blow my mind…read more An iced latte and thrifting is #1 on my weekend task list. Since estate dales pop off in Buena Park this coffee shop has become a repeat on the weekend rotation. I recently tried their banana bread latte for the first time. This is not only banana flavored, but also has light pieces of graham cracker. There's no better way to describe this drink than a visual of my brain blowing - if only Yelp allowed emojis. I've found that a great quality flavored latte can be hard to come by. I like my morning beverages to be heavy on the caffeine - both in dosage and flavor. Arc has done a tremendous job of balancing the two. I've also tried their espresso tonic (insane) and their traditional matcha. Easily a top coffee shop in Orange County!

    Atmosphere: 4 Pretty…read morestraight forward. It's clean and quaint, but even looking at pictures to determine if we had been there before left us questioning it. Relatively forgetable, but they put some energy into it. Menu variation: 3.5 They had a couple drinks outside of the standards, but not much. Looks like they do mix it up and do seasonal drinks. Customer Service: 4.t The cashier was pleasant, polite, and patient when asking questions. They were nice enough to split a pulled double shot of espresso between our drinks as well. I'm always appreciative of people who are willing to do that for us. Drink quality: 4.5 I got the honey butter latte with oat milk and an add shot. My husband got the banana bread latte with oat milk and an add shot. Both drinks were really good. I'm not a banana person, so I thought my husband's was in your face with the banana flavor, but he really enjoyed it. But I didn't think mine was overly sweet, and the sweetness was subtle, and it had a nice cream top. Food quality: N/A Price worth it: 5 Stuff is expensive. Since the drinks were good, I didn't mind paying for unique flavors we couldn't recreate at home. Enjoy your own culinary adventure!

From taking my order to getting my drink, service was fast. Plenty of seating and outdoor parking available-- perfect for studying or doing work. I've gone to this location several times for matcha and decided to try one of their fall seasonal specials this time-- a carrot cake latte with cream cheese cream top. I'm so glad that the barista recommended this drink because it was the literal definition of fall. The latte had a great subtle taste of carrot cake with a hint of a spices. I like how the sweetness wasn't too overwhelming with the perfect balance of espresso. I also got the ube cookie with a white chocolate pretzel on top of it-- it had a soft texture and a subtle taste of ube. I've also tried their oreo mallow cookie before and it was good too. Overall, aesthetic and tasty, would recommend!

During one visit, requesting a simple sprinkle of cinnamon resulted in an unnecessary comment, after asking for cinnamon on my iced latte, Marcy (a shift supervisor) looked at me with annoyance and said "just to let you know it's hydrophobic so it's not going to mix" On another visit, when I tried to order my usual iced Americano with cold foam, Marcy refused, saying "those are just the rules." Even when I asked to simply purchase a side of cream top instead, she refused to sell it to me--which was baffling, considering other staff members have been making this exact drink for me without issue for the past two weeks. After messaging the owner, he explained that the shop restricts drink modifications to speed up service. However, the obvious miscommunication among staff shouldn't fall on the customer. It was extremely uncomfortable to be shut down and given a hard time by Marcy. While every business has the right to set its menu rules, denying basic customizations and refusing to sell a side of cream top feels overly rigid for a local coffee shop. The strict atmosphere makes for a stressful customer experience.
