It just didn't quite match the value you expect for breakfast. Overall, good food, but the portions versus price would make me think twice before coming back.

Lovely spot to enjoy with your family or friends

This might honestly be my favorite meal. Even if it's quite a drive from San Diego, it was well worth it in my opinion. The Güd Burger completely lived up to the hype. The double Wagyu patties were juicy and full of flavor, the cheese was perfectly melty, and the sweet chili aioli brought everything together. I wasn't sure what to expect from the ube brioche bun, but it added just a hint of sweetness that somehow made the whole burger even better. Nothing overpowered anything else. It all just worked together. The Kare Kare bowl was generous in the Kare Kare, which I appreciated. The physical bowl felt too small compared to the amount they gave us! I'm glad I was sharing this with someone else because I was already full halfway through the bowl. We had to order the ube churros as well...don't skip this! The dipping sauce it came with was so good. I kept dipping my churro into it too because it was that good. The churro was crunchy without being dry. This whole meal was one of those meals where you don't want it to end. It was my first time here and we waited 45 minutes for our food to be ready because of how busy it was. Some people ordered ahead of time so they skipped the wait altogether. The restaurant itself is quite small but we were lucky enough to snag a seat after rush hour. There are less than 10 tables for eating in. Restaurants like this are worth supporting because you know it's a small business and the food tastes like it's made out of love! Already planning my next visit.

Ok, so this is an updated review. I gave them a 1 star on my 1st review because the 1st time I went…read morethey weren't open during their listed hours and the 2nd time I went almost their entire menu was unavailable. I rolled the dice and went there for a third time at around 11:15am because I happened to be in the area. And...they were open and their menu had pretty much all the items available. What a great start!! I ordered pork lumpia and their Gud Burger. The pork lumpia was standard fare - freshly fried and delicious like most lumpias. The Star of the show was the Gud Burger and boy did it shine brightly! 2 Smashed American Wagyu Patties, Sweet Chill Crisp Aioli, Butter Pickles, Pickled Red Onions, White American Cheese, in an Ube bun. Plain and simple, all the flavors came together for burger perfection. The patties were perfectly fried, the aioli flavor was on point, the fried garlic was a chef's kiss. I loved it! Because of the 2 previous visits I could only give Tambayan 4 stars in good conscience, otherwise, it would definitely have been 5 stars. I will definitely be back for more and hopefully it's a repeat of this last visit.

A Cozy New Spot with Room to Grow! I recently visited Flora Café, a charming new coffee shop in Bonita. The space is beautifully decorated--clean, cozy, and inviting--perfect for catching up with friends or unwinding with a good book. They offer a variety of baked goods and drinks, and I decided to try their lavender latte, customized as a steamer without coffee. The flavor was absolutely delicious--smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced! However, I was a little disappointed that they charged full price for a steamer (most places offer a slight discount). What's more, it didn't include any decorative touches like lavender leaves or foam art, which would've elevated the experience aesthetically. The staff, though, was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Despite the small hiccups, I'm excited to return after their soft launch to see how they evolve and improve. For now, Flora Café gets a solid 4 stars from me, and I look forward to seeing it flourish! read more

Flora Cafe is such a gem!! The vibe here is absolutely adorable -- bright, cozy, and perfect for pics. You can tell they put so much thought into the aesthetic. The brunch menu is seriously top-tier -- everything I've tried has been amazing. The drinks are incredible too, especially the Flora Chai! I'm usually not a huge fan of dirty chai, but they kill it every time -- it's perfectly balanced and so flavorful. Their pastries are melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the toast options are divine. On top of all that, the staff is so sweet and welcoming, which just makes the whole experience even better. If you're looking for a cute spot with bomb food and drinks, Flora Cafe is it. Highly recommend!! read more

Flora Cafe is easily one of my favorite spots in the area. The space is beautifully designed -- modern, comfortable, and a great place to slow down for a bit. Their matcha is excellent -- smooth, balanced, and consistently well-made. The avocado toast is another standout -- fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. On top of that, the staff is always friendly and welcoming, which really adds to the overall experience. Everything about this place feels intentional and well-executed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality cafe experience. read more

I actually brought one home for my husband to try as well, and without me even saying anything, he wasn't a fan of it either. I also have to say that when I first walked into the location, I didn't really feel a warm or welcoming vibe. I was hoping to have a better first experience, but unfortunately, between the drink and the overall experience, I don't think I'll be back. Maybe I just need to try something different, but for now, this one just wasn't a hit for us.

Walking in, the space has those hometown, community vibes you would hope would make you feel comfortable and welcome. The shop is also surprisingly spacious for a coffee shop, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Unfortunately, the experience itself was not what I expected. It wasn't a particularly busy morning, and there were at least four baristas behind the counter, yet my husband and I waited at least 20 minutes for our drinks. Our pastries came out fairly quickly, but that meant we had to eat them separately rather than enjoying them with our coffee. To make matters worse, my croissant tasted burnt. Yuck. When I finally heard my name called, I walked up to the counter and saw two drinks sitting there. Since neither was labeled, I politely asked the barista which drink was which. Instead of simply helping me, she responded, "I haven't made yours yet," with a pretty obvious attitude. It was an unnecessarily rude interaction and definitely didn't make me feel welcome. I went back to my seat and ended up waiting another five minutes for our drinks. And unfortunately, the coffee itself didn't make up for the wait. I ordered the salted maple latte, and my husband had the French vanilla latte. Both were mediocre at best and left us pretty underwhelmed. Overall, I really wanted to like this place, especially because of its cute atmosphere and convenient location. But between the long wait, burnt pastry, unfriendly service, and disappointing coffee, our first experience was not a good one. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.
