This time, I tried the Chancho En Cama with avocado in a gluten-free wrap, served with fries and Serrano sauce. It had a nice sweet-and-savory combination. The sweetness comes from the charred mashed sweet potato, while the roasted shredded pork shoulder, lime-marinated red onion, cilantro, and yellow pepper aioli bring in the savory flavors. Adding avocado was a nice touch too. Service: 5/5 I ordered takeout for lunch, this time but everything went smoothly with my order. I remember we had lunch at the restaurant and the owner and staff were friendly. Location & Parking: 5/5 Located in a large Foothill Ranch shopping plaza with plenty of parking around the area. Ambiance: 5/5 From what I remember, the inside has more of a bar-like setting with a moderate noise level. Casual and fitting for a lunch or quick meal. Overall: 5/5 Mamon has an interesting variety of sandwiches and flavor combinations that you don't see everywhere. Between my old go-to Choripan and trying the Chancho En Cama this time, there are still plenty of other menu items that give me a reason to come back!

It was a late lunch for us, and so the place was nearly empty with the exception of one other group. We scanned the QR code at the front counter and took a seat at a table to review the menu. It was a little difficult to navigate and some items did not have pictures. The gentleman who helped us was just friendly enough to go over some of the menu items. But after we placed our order, we never saw anyone again. We ordered the pork shoulder sandwich called Chancho en Cama. We split the sandwiches so that we could try two different kinds. We both really loved the flavor profile of the pork sandwich. I really enjoyed it and wish I had a whole sandwich of this one! We also had the Philly Me Up sandwich. This one was a miss for us, definitely. This was pretty bland and just didn't compare to the deliciousness of the pork sandwich. Our sides were good, which included french fries, and roasted cauliflower. The portions are pretty small for the price point of the food. We'd probably stop by again to try other items if we were in the area.

Our entire order came out except for the cold brew which required me to go to the counter to ask for. When they delivered the cold brew it had a layer of cold foam.

This time asking them for no cold foam. When they brought the drink to me it had cold foam, again and I had to send it back. So here were are 30 minutes later, 3 tries later and I'm now realizing I paid for another drink that was given to me incorrectly the first time...not to mention this place is not very inexpensive.

I've been here twice. I absolutely think the place is a hidden gem and would love to stop by more…read moreoften however both times Ive stopped in I haven't felt extremely welcomed, let me explain. Once I dropped in with my nephews (3 and 7 at the time) for lunch and enjoyed it however we had an odd experience where one of them wanted a sandwich dry (meaning no condiments) and we were told by the waitress that no alterations were allowed on the menu. That was a year or so ago. Moving on I thought it was strange but didnt think too much of it other than them not liking kids. Yesterday I stopped in solo after a 30 mile canyon ride and asked for a IVL (Latte) to go (in there small defense they did ask if I wanted for there or to go). They made it quickly which was great. It was maybe 9am and there were maybe 3 tables seated in their side outdoor space with maybe 6 cars in the lot, it was not packed at all. I went to walk thru the door to the side outdoor seating just to look around and maybe sit for 5 minutes and was told I wasnt allowed back there as they're 'full service'. My assumption was that meant they wanted to keep the tables open for people who eat there which is fine. So I said no worries and explained I just wanted to look around instead of sit and then was told yet again I couldn't even go through the door nor sit indoors. I was told my only option was to take my coffee out front. It really felt as if I wasnt welcome there at all. It was a very odd experince to be honest. I've worked in customer service for over 20 years myself and all that they had to say to me was 'you can look around and sit for 5 minutes or until we start to get busy'. Instead whoever trains the staff here seems to train that of it's to go then people arent welcome to stay even for 5 minutes. As for the drink itself. Instead of making a latte with an expresso shot it was simply milk with brewed coffee sat atop (very bitter at that). Which was really odd as I could see they had a full expresso machine setup. Not sure if it was intentionally made bad but once again it felt as if I wasnt welcome there. *Updating below in response to the owner/managers response* 1. Regarding the latte with brewed pour over on top I didn't get that information from anyone. That WAS the drink I was served. Ive had maybe 5000 lattes in my life time from about 500 different cafes. Maybe someone pulled a really bad (over extracted shot) but it was 100% like a pour over on top of milk. 2. I never tried to use the emergency side exit/gate. I tried to use the adjoining door way. 3. I completely get the outside is reserved seating only now. That could have been explained friendlier on the spot. The approach of the situation could have been a sure you can take a look but cant sit. Simple. 4. When I went with my nephews it wasnt a question of not having a kids menu it was not allowing the slightest of alterations (no condiments) for kids who are typically picky at a certain age. 5. Ill agree maybe its just not a good alignment.

They also have a surprisingly wide variety of menu options and a great selection of drinks, so there's plenty to choose from even if you're not in the mood for a bagel. For a small cafe in a busy corporate area, they have their system down really well. They get a lot of business, but ordering is organized, efficient, and usually pretty fast. The staff has always been friendly and helpful as well. Seating is limited, so grabbing a table can sometimes be tough, but if you can get one, it's a great little spot to sit down and enjoy your lunch. Highly recommend Sunrise Bagels.

This was my first time trying Japanese pancake soufflé so wanted to get the original. It did not disappoint! It was light, fluffy, and reminded me of custard. Not too sweet either. By the time we left, it was closer to lunch time and it started getting more crowded. I would like to come back and try their lunch menu sometime. I can see why this place is packed on weekends. Lots of choices and so far everything was delish!
