    Pastrami Melt with Zucchini
    Joanne C.

    I highly recommend trying this cafe. The staff here are very friendly and helpful. The menu includes a wide selection of delicious sandwiches, burgers, and more. The lunch comes with a complimentary soup. For the side dish, you can choose French fries, zucchini, or onion rings. The zucchinis are so good! Come here for a low key and relaxing meal.

    Looking for breakfast in the local area? This is a spot! Friendly servers and delicious food!

    French Toast

    New owner kept the previous chef and staff, she is going to revert the name back to Pop's Diner - the name it was known by since 1946. It's a great place for brunch in a cute and quaint diner setting near downtown Santa Ana. The fried zucchini with ranch dressing make for a nice appetizer. And we loved all of our orders, including the Eggs Benedict, Chilaquiles, and French Toast. Highly recommended.

    Zucchini- the best
    Vanessa G.

    June's Cafe has some the absolute best zucchini, hands down! And to accompany their zucchini, they have good ranch, because you know good ranch is hard to come by. I ordered their tuna sandwich on sourdough. Tuna need flavor for my liking, but they make up for it with the size of the sandwich! It's massive! Our service was also great! A nice young girl waited on us and she was very attentive. The cafe is small and gives off some serious nostalgia vibes. Parking anywhere in downtown Santa Ana is a nightmare, and it's meter parking so come prepared. All in all, good spot for some breakfast or Lunch, or both!

    We've been coming here since it was Pop's Cafe. I love everything about this place, the vibes, the decor, the efficient & friendly employees, the amazing food. I mean what else can you ask for? I guess I would ask that they be open a little bit longer lol I love that this place still feels like a little hidden gem even though it's been popular with the locals, and as always can't wait for my next visit.

    It's recently open again, new "June's Cafe" Food was amazing, feels like home made and mom's food. Servers are so kind and friendly, I felt all customers knows each others. Must visit and try

    Whole diner-inside

    Ok,to be honest... I wasn't sure how I was going to review this place. When I walked in; which is quite small inside, it has an old look to it, could be cleaner, had 1 table that could have used a wipe- down. Did not wait long for meal. The server had ask what I wanted and went for the breakfast burrito (sausage and bacon; extra crispy) and ice coffee. when I opened the container the eggs were cooked well-perfect, not over cooked at all. the green salsa is good; not spicy at all.. bit into the burrito and it is delicious.. This restaurant itself-could be better; cleaner.. I would give this a second go...

    Love coming to June's Café! The service was amazing and the prices are super reasonable. I got the hash browns Irish way with sourdough bread, eggs, and sausage -- everything was cooked perfectly! My sister got the French toast combo with an orange juice, and she loved it too. We sat outside and enjoyed this beautiful day. The décor inside is small and cozy with that classic old diner feel, and the staff was friendly, quick, and welcoming. Definitely recommend this spot for breakfast!

    Avocado toast.
    Lucy O.

    Pop's cafe is such a cozy and welcoming place. You feel like you've been transported to a diner in the 80s. Our server was such a sweet lady who brought our food out right away. We ordered the avocado toast which was the special that week and the pancakes, eggs, and sausage. Although the food wasn't extraordinary, it was filling, tasty, comfort food. I loved that they provide big portions and the prices are great. Definitely a place I'd love to visit again.

    Omelette in background (forgot which one since it wasn't my order)

    Four stars for this venerable "mom and pop" cafe in a quaint little spot off Main Street in Downtown Santa Ana. I think Pop's Cafe has been around since 1942 - according to store signage and the menu. I was teetering between 3 and 4 stars - but the food and service was what won me over. It wasn't a perfect experience - but the positives definitely helped balance the negatives. My group sat outside, since the interior was a bit cramped. There's only a few tables inside, and a bar-style seating. They did have a cool art-deco design though. Our server - I didn't catch his name - a young gentleman - was very attentive and prompt with our orders and bringing out our food, as well as condiments that we asked for (ketchup, hot sauce, syrup). Prompt on the refills too! Food was great for the most part - I ordered the Two Eggs, Two Pancakes, and Polish Sausage plate. The buttermilk pancakes definitely stand out - not only for the rich, buttery taste - but also how fluffy they were. And these weren't just tiny pancakes - I had just two pancakes - but was full after eating one of them, my eggs, and most of my polish sausage. Only downside was biting into a bone (???) in one of the polish sausage cuts. I had to double check, since I was surprised to find bone in the cut. My group's meals also looked decent - they all ordered various kinds of omelettes. They all liked their picks. Menu has both breakfast favorites and a lunch menu offering sandwiches and burgers. We were there relatively early - so only ordered from their breakfast menu. Prices were great, considering the area. Okay - so the restroom is sorta connected to the restaurant, but accessible from the outside. I raised an eyebrow as the server explained that you "make a right at the alley, walk down the alley, make another right, and up the stairs to the restroom". It was clean - which is a plus - but a bit sketchy from the directions lol. Ngl, I was like "wtf?" as he was giving directions and said "walk down the alley". It reminded me of a popular taco spot down in TJ that my team used to frequent after our monthly medical clinics we used to run pre-pandemic. They had an external outhouse that you had to walk on the outside of the restaurant to get to. Parking can be messy and a bit tight, considering the area. There are six parking meters upfront - you can pay electronically by downloading the ParkMobile app. If you're willing to hunt for spots further out - with a short 5 minute walk - there's two-hour parking off 8th St. between N Bush and N Spurgeon. It's about a block away from the cafe. Overall, other than the amusing directions to an exterior-access but connected restroom, the random bone in my polish sausage - this is a decent cafe with great prices. There's definitely a retro charm to the place. Just keep in mind that the smaller dining space and parking can be messy during popular dining hours.

    This is an old diner here in Santa Ana that's been around forever , the food is good, I had the steak and eggs and the meat was tender and juicy. The service is very friendly here, very fast and the small little place is always a joy to visit . The parking is not that great one has to look for street parking around this place .

    Deep fried French toast
    Tera K.

    The deep fried French toast was crispy and good! Breakfast burrito is soo good! They have pico de gallo inside the burrito which was new to me! Salsa was amazing too! You could get their iced coffee from a Korean market since they use instant coffee mix!

    Breakfast Burrito
    R L.

    This is a solid breakfast place - they reopened under a new name June's Cafe and am back under their previous owners. When we got there around 11:00 am Sunday they were pretty busy, but staff was attentive and seated us promptly. We got the breakfast burrito and club sandwich - burrito was filling and tasty with crispy hash brown inside, and club sandwich had a generous portion of turkey and bacon. The place was clean and well-run. We had a great experience and will be back next time we're in the neighborhood!

I was greeted and brought water and a menu almost immediately I ordered the Santa Fe Skillet (Three eggs, ham, Ortega chiles, jack cheese, avocado, $16.95) with a side of hash browns and sourdough toast. I was surprised when my food arrived only five minutes after ordering. They run a very efficient kitchen! When my food arrived, the server offered me their home made mild or spicy salsa to go with it. I chose the mild salsa, and it went great with the dish. The skillet tasted great and was filling. My server, Betsy, was very friendly and provided quick service from start to finish. I took my time eating, and was still in and out in a bit under 30 minutes.

I recently went back after many, many years away and I have to say that the current owners have done a fantastic job of keeping what was always special about the place while updating some of the less-than-stellar things that existed. I think the scaled down menu really does the place justice - because you can still get a Dick's Scramble, but they've kept the menu minimal so everything feels intentional and tastes delicious. It's still diner food, but that's exactly why you're here. The coffee is strong and hot, the eggs are fluffy, and the service is friendly and fantastic.

Pulling into the parking lot, I knew this was a very well loved restaurant because the lot was packed ~ and it's a pretty good sized lot! Walking up to the door, it's pretty obvious, in a good way, that it's an establishment that's been around for a while. With bustling deli and pastry cases near the entrance, Benjie's instantly gives off a Cheers vibe, even for this first timer. There's a counter to sit at if you're dining solo, or if you've got more people in your party there are plenty of traditional booths and tables. The menu is extensive with all of the traditional deli/diner favorites. In order to try more, we decided to split everything. We ordered Reuben Fritters as a starter, a Pastrami sandwich on a French roll, and cheese blintzes for dessert. The Reuben Fritters were a nice take on the sandwich with a mixture of tender corned beef and the perfect amount of cheeses and sauerkraut rolled in bread crumbs and fried to perfection. The pastrami sandwich was piled high with meat and served with a side of onion rings. We were already getting full at this point, but we couldn't resist the cheese blintzes that were patiently waiting for us to give them a try. I swear I don't live under a rock, but I've never had blintzes before and these were VERY good! We went with the traditional preparation, although I read someone's review that said these could also be requested fried. Definitely worth a try next time. I'm imagining pure decadence! Our server was friendly and kept on top of keeping our beverages filled and checking to see if we needed anything. We left filled with excellent comfort food and an overall great experience. Looking forward to trying some more things on the menu soon!
