    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!

    1/26/25 Coffee is decent, refills always offered

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    Steak Omellete with home fries, but already halfway gone, before I was able to take a picture.

When you first walk in, you could smell the delicious baked goods. They don't have a huge menu, but it's not exactly a tiny menu either. A person behind the counter was very friendly. I ordered a Carne Asada torta to enjoy there for lunch as well as a few tamales to take home. I also got one of the conchas to enjoy for breakfast the next day with coffee. A note about the torta - it was absolutely delicious. The bread to fillings (especially the meat/beans) ratio felt perfect. The bread was soft. The chopped chili and side of salsa added more acidity and flavor. I'm usually not a big fan of tortas - a long time ago (like 20 years) I think I had a string of poorly made tortas with this style of bread and I've never ordered them since. So glad I went for it here. This small place in Ontario single handedly changed my mind of what this style torta could be. I've also recently had a torta ahogada (different style bread and sauce) and loved that too. I'm kind of having a torta awakening era. The concha here was better than a lot I've had in the past too! Very soft with the slight caramelized crunch on the top. Hint of cinnamon and so good with coffee. The tamales were also wonderful and was delicious for dinner later in the same evening. I guess you can say I'm a huge fan of the food here. It really helps that the prices are more than reasonable.

I'd honestly come back just for the coffee, it was so good, we tried all three and I'd have to say the tres leches latte was the top favorite! The atmosphere is calm and cozy, and I loved that they have the cutest plants and pots for sale throughout the space. The food was delicious, and there was a little something for everyone. I ordered the chilaquiles with skirt steak, and the steak was perfectly marinated with so much flavor. We wanted to try the flan for dessert, but they had just run out.

They advertise as having vegan food but she didn't know which ones were vegan. I got the avocado toast and the avocado spread looked a little brown. It was really overpriced too. The avocado toast was small and with the drink the total amount for my order was $20. While I was eating it, it tasted a little off. 30 min after eating it, I started getting stomach pains and later threw up in the restroom and continued to have the runs and threw up two more times after we left. When I told the cashier I think I ate something spoiled cus I threw up, she seemed really unbothered and I had to ask for a refund. Her coworker, instead of providing a refund, a young rude girl with stickers on her face, proceeded to give me attitude and blame it on my diet (?) because I ordered THEIR vegan avocado toast. She seemed suspicious of me saying their food made me sick. She also said she'd been working here for 4 years and never had issues with their avocado. Like I'm just telling her what happened.. but she felt the need to get defensive and blame it on me. Such rudeness and unprofessionalism instead of acknowledging that something may have gone wrong with the food, provide a remedy or offer an apology. The food didn't even taste that good and my friend wasn't impressed with his food either. Do these young people not understand the meaning of customer service? If not, don't work in customer service. Having basic decency and not acting like a brat would be a good start.

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'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.
