    Hamburger

    Very good food. We have ordered to be delivered have not visited under the new name, plenty of parking and close to home.

    First time here. The Green River cafe overlooks the 91 freeway from a small hilltop on the West-most outskirts of Corona and the Prado Dam. Plenty of parking and easy access, as it is just beyond the freeway offramp. They have been open about 5 months and were attracting some decent reviews with appealing photos. It was time to try it. The multi-page menu features classic roadside diner food. This includes a predictable list of breakfast items, which was exactly why we had come. Our choices that day included a breakfast pork chop meal and a skillet scramble. The pork chops were jaw dropping at first sight. Two center-cut, 1" thick chops that were so huge, they nearly covered the plate. You had to lift them up to find the eggs and potatoes hidden beneath. While this cut tends to be quite lean, the chef had cooked them nicely, leaving them as juicy as possible. Mr. B chose a biscuit and gravy for his side. The biscuit was unremarkable but the creamy, sausage gravy was pretty good. My choice was the Meat Lovers Skillet, which combined eggs, sausage, ham, and bacon topped with a cheese blend. It turned out nicely, very flavorful. I requested sliced tomatoes as my side, probably not the smartest of choices since tomatoes are not yet in season. Tasteless, but not their fault. The sole problem lay with the potatoes. Both of us had requested hash browns, extra crispy. Our first bite of hash browns tasted funny. Two more bites and it was not hard to figure out they had been crisped up on a poorly cleaned griddle with residual stale oil, a pet peeve of mine. Fortunately, this only affected the potatoes, not the rest of our food. We called the server's attention to this, after she asked how everything was, and she promised to look into it with the chef. Sadly, this ended up to be an empty promise as she never returned to apologize or assure us of their conversation, and never offered a replacement or even offer a minor adjustment to the bill. IMHO, that is just the proper thing to do, especially if you wish a new customer to return. Would I return? Maybe. But only after they improve their best practices for griddle cleaning first. Finding a note in Yelp from their manager would be a good start?

    Pancake combo

    3.5 stars This is an above average diner with excellent customer service. Nestled in the green hills off of 91, this place made a nice brunch escape. The inside was warm and inviting. We sat at a booth towards the back. I loved their extensive menu options. After perusing, I went with the Denver omelet, which came with two sides. I picked pancakes and fruit. The omelet was nice and savory. I did wish it wasn't covered with so much cheese, but that's a personal preference. The pancakes looked delicious. For me, it was too thin and soft. I couldn't pick it up with a fork. Sadly, it just fell apart. The flavor was great, but I'm just big on texture. The fruit was fresh. Oh and the coffee was on the weak diluted side. Loved that it was piping hot and that they kept it coming!

    Chile Verde Omelette subbed omelette for over easy eggs
    Clarissa C.

    I got the huevos rancheros and my husband got the Chile verde omelette but subbed the omelette for over easy eggs instead. Both of our plates were large and delicious. Sometimes takeout can lose the flavor or not transport well, but it was still good and cooked well. Their chile verde isn't very spicy, but the flavor was really good. The cashier/hostess was friendly and offered lots of condiment options, my daughter got pancakes so she packed us some blueberry syrup to try.

    BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger (half eaten, and most of the fries were gone by the time I took a pic)
    Nikki N.

    Had great food and great service the other day at Green River Cafe. Oggi was very attentive to us, and as it was a late business lunch, he thoughtfully seated us in a room secluded from the main dining area. The BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger was delicious. Got the steak fries well done, which was perfect. I love to dip my fries in mayo and was pleasantly surprised at how great their mayo was. Oggi told me the cook makes it (and most of the menu) in house - you can taste the difference!! My colleague got the carne asada nachos which were also a hit. Get some of their salsa on the side - their chips and salsa are top notch!! It is a good midway point for meeting up with my colleague so I expect we will be back here soon!

    Chorizo skillet
    Iliana L.

    Great food and service. We went as a big family to breakfast and had the chorizo skillet, three pigs, chicken fried steak, chicken fried chicken, pancakes, eggs Benedict, Chile verde omelet and loved it all! The chocolate cake to go was also a great purchase. We only snagged a few pics before we dove in.

    Steel wool in omelette
    Chelle L.

    Cleaning seems to be an issue for this restaurant. I was there yesterday and ordered their spicy poblano omelette. 3 bites in and I chewed on something crunchy and I'm glad I spit it out because it was STEEL WOOL. The kind they use to scrub pans with. God knows if I swallowed any small amounts or broken off pieces before I got to the larger piece. This could have been an incredibly expensive hospital trip or even death. The manager had the dish remade but didn't comp the meal and the guy who brought us our check just said they were sorry for the inconvenience. I was just kind of in shock to be honest so I didn't make a bigger deal out of it, but in retrospect I'm posting because I just want to make sure others don't accidentally ingest something like this and get seriously hurt. Steel wool can tear up your insides. I did end up throwing up after, but I don't know if I ingested parts of the steel wool and I'm still waiting it out for a few more days to be sure that I'm absolutely ok The photos I attached are of the steel wool that I picked apart to see what it was. It was kind of balled up when I first spit it out :( Needless to say, this is a new fear unlocked for me.

    Eggs Benedict Florentine was delicious and the staff was friendly. Great place to stop to beat the 91 frwy traffic.

    So happy to have found a location near my family home in OC!…read more Small location but clean and has some seating available whether eating inside or waiting for your order to go. Parking can get congested during lunch hours being next to a Chipotle and The Habit. Staff were friendly and they offer kiosk ordering as well. Ordered an eggcellent burrito and royal burrito. I've had their sandwiches in the past at another location and they are good if you like fluffy scrambled eggs! Ordered and received food within 10 minutes, it was empty on a Saturday morning. Burritos were a decent size. A bit pricey for a burrito and the eggs could've had a bit more flavor but they were still good! I would come back :)

    I was so excited when I found there was a nearby Egg type brunch eatery in my area and when looking…read moreinto it, Egg Tuck originated from LA and has grown with that community and now has expanded here in the OC. So I was super stoked to try them out! The inside is very intimate and cozy. Not many seatings so I would recommend takeout or coming with no more than 4 people. They were super busy at the time I came on a Tuesday. They do open daily until 3 pm so plan accordingly. I got myself the Royal West sandwich and the spicy Royal West burrito as my entree, the fluffy egg fries for my side, and the dirty matcha for my drink. Royal West sandwich - 5/5 flavorful, creamy with the runny yolk, and satisfying with its fattiness. If you're looking to fill you and eat something heavy, I recommend this sandwich. Spicy Royal West burrito - 5/5 the burrito twist is the original Royal west. I appreciate the sauce on the side was the spicy sauce so you can control the level of spice as well as the amount of sauce per bite. The egg is scrambled in this one. The fluffy egg fries - 4/5 overall I love it, but the flavoring from the sauce does over power the taste of the egg and fries a little bit , but I do love the texture of the fluffy scramble eggs and the mildly soft fries. The dirty matcha, 5/5 you have the option of what type of coffee and dairy is mixed. I got the oat milk with cold brew. There is a cream on top and that blended everything together soooo well! I would not say it's strong on coffee or matcha flavor but a nice harmonious blend of the two

I am not acting crazy when I say I think they have the best bagels in OC... It is a bit hidden -- tucked away in a parking lot in-between a car wash and Chevron. I am still not sure the name of this place. It appears it used to be called Limoncello, Yelp and Google now say Aroma, but the when you are there you will notice there is no signage or logo lol. Just a blue awning. I love getting their jalapeño bagel with plain cream cheese for $3.95 (a bagel with cream cheese is not on the menu board, so you have to ask for it). The bagel comes out so warm and fresh. I am serious when I say it is up there with one of best bagels I've ever had. Yep -- from this random gas station cafe. It's true! You can order at the window outside or go inside. Customer service is always friendly. There is usually the same older gentleman working the outside window and he is super helpful and nice. I believe he told me one time they source their bagels from a wholesale company in Irvine? And they are freshly baked and delivered. The drinks here are also good. I would not recommend the breakfast burrito. It was a bit sad and something a college kid would whip up in his dorm. But the bagels?! They are top-notch. I also like how they have plenty of outdoor seating outside with shade.

The service was genuinely superb! It was warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful from the moment I walked in.

I also tried their oat milk sugar-free latte, and wow... surprisingly good! Smooth, flavorful, and made just right. Between the tasty food and outstanding service, this place really impressed me. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area! 5 stars, good vibes!

I told them I was a first timer and they offered to answer any questions and let me know that they serve breakfast all day. Although it was past noon, they still had a good selection of bagels and muffins to choose from. I ordered the bagelwich omelet and also got a half dozen bagels to take home to the fam. I took the whole order to go, but the sandwich was still warm and toasty when I got home. Made on a spinach Parmesan bagel with eggs, ham, provolone, spinach, and mushrooms, it hit the spot! I ended up having one of the bagels for a late afternoon treat and I loved how the bagel was soft and fluffy while the outside had just the right amount of crunch. SO GOOD! And did I mention they are huge??? Way more than snack-size, but that didn't stop me from eating the whole thing :) Anyway, while I waited for my order to be prepared I sat in their dining area. They have a pretty spacious dining room for a bagel shop and they also have a couple of tables outside for dining al fresco. I'm looking forward to coming back for more of their amazing bagels!!

Found Kaffeine Alley nearby on maps and I made the right choice. Walked in and was greeted by Cameron. I expressed my interest in either a latte or matcha and Cameron made recommendations in both categories but his personal favorite was the Honey Almond Latte so I ordered that. When my drink was ready he had me try it and asked if it needed any modifications whether it was too sweet or not sweet enough but no it was perfect. They have WiFi here and a pretty huge parking lot (although you might have to walk a bit if you don't get parking up front.) They have seating outside and inside as well. Will definitely bookmark and come back if I'm ever on this side again! Thanks Cameron, you da man

Each visit, the matcha has tasted either overly bitter, poorly mixed, or lacking the smooth, rich flavor I expect from a good matcha latte. I understand that an occasional bad drink can happen, which is why I kept coming back. Unfortunately, after four visits, the experience has been consistently underwhelming. The atmosphere and service have been pleasant, but the matcha quality has not met expectations, especially considering the price point. I hope they revisit their matcha preparation process, as I'd love to see improvements and be able to support a local business. Unfortunately, based on my experiences so far, I can't recommend their matcha drinks.
