    This place is great for the local regulars. I sat at the counter and listened to my Server greet everyone as they came in. Took the time to have a conversation with them as I waited to place my order. Food was standard diner food... no bells and whistles. Coffee was good. The parking lot does get crowded on Sunday mornings. I believe the Owner was also helpful and pleasant to hear as she manned the food coming out of the window and spoke with customers coming in. Not sure I will return, but that doesn't mean YOU shouldn't give it a try. Respectfully Reviewed.

    Patty melt
    Paulina G.

    I always come here during the weekend for their breakfast, but today was the first time I was able to order from their entree menu since I arrived after 11am. I ordered the Patty melt with the side of French fries (you can select fries, coleslaw or fresh fruit). We also ordered the Salisbury steak with the side of chicken soup and garlic bread. The food was delicious, my patty melt and fries were a bit oily, but it's fried food so it's to be expected. The Salisbury steak and mashed potatoes had a good flavor. Even though it was busy we were promptly attended to and had plenty of water and coffee refills. If you order breakfast make sure to ask for a side of salsa!

    We're back again for breakfast. The customer service is excellent and the food is delicious, taste like homemade.We ordered a Frittata omelette with fruit and a colossal half pound cheeseburger with fries.We have been coming to this establishment for decades. The ambience is nicely decorated with plenty of booths and tables and Counter to sit down and enjoy your meal there's plenty to choose from the menu breakfast lunch, and dinner.

    One egg & bacon. Served with homestyle potatoes and one slice toast. Took the pic after I started eating!!!

    Local restaurant open for breakfast and lunch. We have only had breakfast there. The restaurant is always crowded which is a good sign. The good news is there is plenty of seating so we never have waited mute than a few minutes. A wide variety of menu items to choose from. I had a meal from the smaller appetite options. One egg, two slices of bacon, home style potatoes, and I slice of toast. All for about $10. The egg was cooked as I requested, and the bacon was perfectly crisp. The potatoes were a bit bland and very soft. Could have used higher flame when cooking to crisp them up a bit. Maybe I'll order hash browns next time. Service was quick and efficient.

    1/26/25 Another local favorite patronized, will DEFINITELY return, good grub & excellent service! Not feeling like cooking today as I am feeling lazy & Hubby is not going to cook either. Hubby actually chose this local restaurant. When I say local, we could've worked up an appetite & walked. Surprisingly at 11 am on a Sunday with a n almost full parking lot, we were immediately seated upon entry. Drinks were offered ASAP, friendly busboy. Within minutes, Lorena, our server graciously welcomed us with a very friendly smile. Loving this place already! Ambiance is warm, clean, diner style, comfortable with booths, tables & counter service. The staff are all busy bees & the servers in particular are running on crack (okay by crack, I mean coffee/caffeine but in a wonderful way). I feel very much welcomed like a regular & like family. My coffee arrived promptly along with Hubby's Diet Coke as Lorena took our orders: Hubby's Machaca w/ beans & rice, for me blueberry pancakes, 2 over medium eggs & 2 strips of crispy bacon. I took more photos & when I returned, our food was ready! Just like that! WowZaH, fast & friendly-what more could you ask for... well the lady (owner/manager) up front could use more of that crack the servers are on!, maybe a little smile on her beautiful face certainly couldn't hurt. My food was delicious! The pancakes in particular are soft, fluffy with a delicate chew, plenty of blueberries folded in (no powdered sugar as I requested), perfectly over medium eggs, bacon is delightfully crispy. Hubby was not as impressed with his Machaca, he said it was not seasoned well enough, but he polished off his entire plate (and usually he does not eat the beans). My coffee was decent and I had about 3-4 cups (one I tried black) Overall, will surely return to try other items in the menu, Lorena said we will definitely be regulars soon enough. She was right from the get go. Now that confidence! I like her! Plenty of parking, restrooms are clean. Glad Hubby found this spot

    Delightful biscuits and gravy!

    Excellent place for chisme with the bestie. Bobbi, our server was just lovely. She was so kind and attentive. Inside is classic old school diner vibes. Long counter, very 70s or early 80s type styling. My pancakes? Perfectly fluffy. The Hashbrowns, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and well seasoned. My friend had the biscuits and gravy and graciously let me have a bite.; 10/10 no notes!

    Stuffed French toast and pancakes with bacon and eggs

    We have been here two times and it's our favorite local restaurant. The customer service is outstanding. The waitress Bobbie kept checking on us. I had the breakfast burrito. It was big and very tasty. The other time I was there, I had the pancakes, which were the best pancakes I ever had, buttey and fluffy; it came with bacon and eggs. My husband had the steak and eggs and he enjoyed them. We will definitely return often. On the weekdays you get served quickly on the weekend. It's quite busy, so be prepared to wait. The ambience is very family friendly. The best part about it is that everything is so clean. It might have a little bit of 90s decor, and it is outdated, but that's the point of cafés. Two thumbs up all around.

    Jumbo Breakfast with house fries.
    Julian D.

    I've eaten here twice and had a good experience both times. The food was decent and so was the customer service. The restaurant was clean and comfy. I like the little aquarium and mini pond at the front. I don't have much else to add but I have no complaints.

    Jumbo Breakfast, Ortega chili w/ white American cheese omelet. Asked for crispy hash browns and boy did they deliver!!
    Jonathan J.

    I was in the area for a job and passed this place and it looked cute. Decided to stop in for breakfast and am seriously so glad I did. As you walk up to the front, there's the sound of running water with a little pond full of the cutest critters, some red eared sliders, and some koi. Off to a pretty good start, this was refreshing. Upon entering, you're greeted by the staff in a very large and open setting, it's clean, and very nostalgic which I love. The staff looked happy to be there, lots of smiles and were talking to their guests like family, immediately started to feel at home. We were seated quickly in a nice comfy booth, and started to check out the menu. There's a little bit of something for everyone, but we went with some basics as you can see in the pictures. I liked that the menu had several items for the "less hungry" crowd, which I could very much appreciate. While we were waiting for our food, our server Leti passed by with some chicken noodle soup that the smell reminded me of a very near and dear soup I'd grown with. When I asked her about it, she even brought me a small little bowl to try it!!! That never happens, and it was literally the best I'd had since, so needless to say I brought home a large to-go amount for later. From beginning to end, Leti made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. Her customer service and attitude are out of this world, and for that we will actually be making the occasional drive out there from city of Orange, it was that nice of an experience. Thank you Leti, the staff, and the cooks for delivering such an amazing breakfast experience, we look forward to dining with you in the (not so distant) future.

    A friendly local cafe with good food and great service. Everyone is lovely and you get the feeling they truly care for their customers. Usually go for breakfast and everything is made to perfection.

    I've enjoyed Sed Cocina for my third meal and it's time to dish. When I come through the door I…read morefeel welcomed by the bright & funky wall treatment, lively cumbia and other Latin music playing, numerous plants throughout, and super friendly staff (all wearing cool Sed cook's aprons over black shirt, jeans, and black shoes). The energy in this little spot is alive and you will not leave here feeling anything but full and happy! I typically start with salsa when reviewing a Mexican restaurant, but I need to comment on food value first. The menu is full of main dishes & combo plates, three individual items, and a separate drink menu (coffee de la olla is the bomb). On my first visit I only wanted to sample a couple tacos and was a bit disappointed the menu didn't list à la cart tacos...until I spoke with my server who confirmed they had à la cart tacos. I ordered 2 tacos, coffee de la olla, extra salsa, a side of cabbage, and got out of there for under $13 before tip. Their plates top out at $24 for the decadent dishes, but most mains and combos are in the $16-$19 range. I'm a habitual over-eater so always clean my plate, but many folks were leaving with leftovers. I ordered steak and eggs this morning with extras and coffee for $22 before tip. Unheard of these days, but a highly appreciated cost to meal value! On to the food, starting with salsa. Simple-done-well is my take away for everything at Sed, including their fantastic red and green salsas. Red is tomato roasty, a bit tangy, and decently spicy, with red chili driving the flavor. If spicy isn't your thing, go easy on this, but don't miss out as it really enhances the flavor of the food. Green is bright, tangy from tomatillo and citrus, a bit herbaceous, and medium spicy. A green salsa should, IMO, lift the flavor of a rich dish, and this salsa does. The spice level is medium, with the Serrano and/or jalapeño chili providing enough heat to feel authentic. You can pick your salsa direction, but for me, these two salsas complement each other...or maybe I just can't ever decide This morning I ordered steak and eggs. I ordered sides of home made corn tortillas, pico de gallo, and shredded cabbage as is my habit. Often at a Mexican restaurant, the breakfast steak is tough and only seasoned by the sauce or salsa. Not so here. The steak was beautifully seasoned, tasting of citrus, herbs, aromatics, and the right amount of salt (I'd guess it was marinated for a good long while), then cooked to perfect medium rare (my request) with crispy bits at the ends. The steak was sliced for plating along side two sunny side up eggs that also had crispy edges, and served with 1/2 an avocado, cilantro, and pickled red onion. The pico de gallo looked freshly prepared with a good mix of tomato, onion, cilantro, jalapeño (without seeds so not spicy), and some lime. The shredded cabbage, typically raw and unseasoned, had some pico on it and maybe some lime. An extra nice touch for my breakfast veg. The tortillas were thick, hot, and a delicious accompaniment to this dish for stuffing, sopping, or both. It was SO good! I thought I would miss beans and rice because they are often served with this dish in other restaurants, but I did not. The $18 price point was the biggest surprise as they could have easily charged well over $20 for this dish. On past visits I've enjoyed à la cart tacos with Al pastor, asada, and chicken. Each protein was delicious, with the Al pastor shining brightest for me. This version of Al pastor was not as orange as is typical, but because of the crispy edges from the grill and a fantastic marinade, it is one of my favorite versions. The asada and chicken were both very flavorful and tender. Noticeable about these tacos is how hearty they are. Served in their awesome, house-made tortillas, filled with meat, topped with cilantro and chopped red onion, served with sliced radish and lime. These are some of my favorite tacos and as a So Cal native, I've been eating soft tacos for decades. I recommend topping with shredded cabbage and salsa for the perfect bite. While I am not vegan or vegetarian I often eat with friends and family with these diets. There are options to accommodate, including huevos rancheros, chilaquiles, vegan chorizo dishes, and more. This casual dining spot has captured my foodie heart. The menu isn't extensive, but it has a good variety of creative and familiar dishes to satisfy any palate. I can't recommend Sed Cocina highly enough and hope others will give this spot a try.

To drink, we enjoyed a dirty horchata and a fresh made orange juice; both were stand outs and added to the unique homey experience. Finally, this place doesn't just talk the talk. They genuinely care about the community, want genuine feedback to improve and care about their costumers. I will be back for both my birthday as well as my mother's. In love with SeD and excited to go back and try out their many other options.

The matcha itself has a strong, authentic taste that holds its own while still pairing nicely with the sweetness of the strawberry. The space is just as impressive as the drinks. It has a soft pink aesthetic that feels intentional and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of seating available for working or relaxing. It's the kind of café that makes you want to stay awhile, whether you're on your laptop or catching up with a friend. They also offer free WiFi, which makes it even more practical for longer stays. What really stood out, though, was the service. In a time when many aesthetically pleasing coffee shops tend to fall short on hospitality, this place does the opposite. I was greeted with a warm, genuine smile upon entering, and the staff went above and beyond by bringing my matcha and musubi directly to my table. Small gesture, big impact. Friendly, attentive, and consistent service from start to finish. Overall, this is a spot that delivers on both vibe and substance. I'll definitely be coming back.
