Quality of service is great: the waitress saw that there was a large piece of hair on my dish and immediately took it away to fix it. Food quality: Food is underpar. The menu has your typical American breakfasts, which I love a good eggs benedict. But the quality was not as great as I was hoping for. The restaurant gives a feel of a diner with checkered tables. I like that theme, although the cleanliness of the tables and booths were not as clean as I was hoping for. Parking is pretty easy as there is a lot behind the restaurant. Overall, I had an under-par experience here. read more

Was looking for a quick bite and my sister had been wanting to try this place. If you didn't know it was here you might drive right by it. Walking in it is cute a small diner feeling. The waitress lacks personality and at times felt like we were a bother. The food was ok. Omelet was packed with items I chose but was over cooked and dry. The hash browns were so oily I couldn't eat them. My sister got the hash and it takes like they added a spice to it which we wished they wouldn't have. Over all we won't be back. To leave on a positive note the coffee was good! read more

This place is nostalgic for me and my family. We used to frequent the Fullerton Kim's when it first opened the staff was always very friendly and welcoming. This weekend we ate at the Brea location and I have to say things have changed. The restaurant didn't have that warm welcome home feel that it used to have when we asked for coffee creamer. The waitress just dumped a few small blue pods on the table and walked away. The food was nowhere near as good as it used to be. I ordered chicken fried steak in the past. It felt like it was homemade now it feels like just another frozen patty the eggs were bland and undercooked, and tasted like they were powdered eggs. It used to be when you went to Kimmy's your coffee cup never went empty that is no longer the case. It was hard to get a refill and when we finally did, the waitress walked away without asking if we needed anything else. It's really sad to see this once, Homestyle restaurant turned into a generic brand of Denny's read more

I wanted to try this small family business but as soon as I came in, I saw the servers face of unwelcome and disgust. I was shocked and was told to go sit on left and then right and I was so confused. I didn't know what to think since I was feeling racism vibes from the servers as soon as we came in.. once I saw the " all American flags " all over the restaurant i realized that we weren't welcomed because we were not white . How sad . I wanted to believe I was wrong. Before going to the restaurant I looked up this restaurant's instagram and saw they posted Christian music with their posts and felt I wanted to support a Christian family business but their business and behavior was nothing of what Christ is truly like. I felt bad for someone in 2025 still choosing to have hate for someone that looks "different ". The food was bland. I asked my child if he felt anything in the restaurant and he said, I felt racism. I reassured him that it had nothing to do with him but rather these people's hearts and not to make meaningful of himself about it. Truly a disappointing experience. read more

Great food and service! My favorite dish is the Country French toast! Carissa and Leah were amazing!

Came here for breakfast the other day and ordered corn beef hash meal and a OC special with a side of sourdough toast. Arrived and they do you have indoor seating and there wasn't a wait which was around 9:30 AM. It was pretty decently spread out in comparison to usual of course. Staff were quick to take her orders and wasn't long before the food came out maybe like 15 minutes. Food overall was quite tasty, will probably return in the future when I'm looking for a diner breakfast. read more

My partner and I have been coming to Kimmies for years! Food is good but overpriced. Yet we didn't mind because the place provided quality and convenience. Lately, however, customer service has been progressively worse. Yes, it's a small establishment and there's only the older lady with the two young girls staffing the place. We have been patient and understanding many times. But we are no longer going to bring our business to Kimmies. They raised the prices due to the egg shortage and we gladly went along with it. Now, explain to me why the waitresses gave us a crappy attitude over us asking for our missing toast in one of our orders. We of course shared the other toast but, if I pay for it, and then I ask twice for it... shouldn't you apologize instead of giving us a cold shoulder and restingbitchface the rest of our time at the counter? My partner now refuses to go back and I'm afraid she's not unreasonable one bit. So long Kimmies. I will certainly NOT miss the old fart dudes gawking at the young waitresses over their meal nor the RBF manager lady who has soured up quite a bit over the years smh read more

Food is decent but the service is terrible. The waitress who might have also been the owner forgot to place my order. If I hadn't asked about it, I would've waited more than 30 minutes without food in a half filled restaurant. She passed my table multiple times without acknowledging us. You would think after bringing out other orders and seeing a table without food for 30 minutes that you would check on their order. I guess when you don't care about your job or your customers then you probably wouldn't notice. And the kicker ? She didn't apologize for it. Terrible service and OK food. Would not recommend to anyone. read more

First time to this Kimmies and this is a Brea Gem came Sunday morning around 7am .super cute location .First let's start with the greeting at the front door amazing the staff was super friendly and everyone had a smile it felt like you were part of the family. It was a nice feeling walking in and everyone eating having a good time talking and eating breakfast Let's get to the food I got the Kimmies Sausage patty with eggs hash browns and biscuits and gravy. 5 stars for sure the sausage patty was so good lots of flavor and a hint of spice. The hash browns were golden brown and crispy let's get to the biscuits super soft and moist inside top it off with the gravy amazing. My wife got the bacon and eggs with red potatoes and green and white onions she loved it. We saw some great looking meals on the way out can't wait to try them all. Next week pumpkin pancakes I can't wait. read more

Yuuuuuummmm!!! Best eggs Benedict I've had at any restaurant. Their hollandaise sauce is perfect and the only place similar to how I make it homemade-no package sauce here! Went for the first time today and everything was so perfect. The staff was amazing as well and what a cozy country atmosphere. read more

Three of us went to Kimmie's yesterday just before their closing time. Leah helped us. We were actually the last customers in there BUT we did not feel rushed or uncomfortable at all! I've been to some breakfast restaurants who rush you when they are getting ready to close. Leah was very pleasant and efficient. The food was great. Thank you Leah!! read more

Their sausage patty is homemade and it is the biggest reason I travel away from La Habra/Whittier for breakfast!

Place has good breakfast, but unfortunately I have to say this but this place made my mom, little brother and my fiancé sick. My fiancé was vomiting, Diarrhea, and made her have very painful abdominal pain a couple of hours later after leaving from Kimmies, I don't know if there was something in her omelette that was expired or salmonella, or something but it got her to the point where I had to take her to the hospital and had to miss work. I don't even know if I should eat at Kimmies again. read more

Kimmie's Coffee Cup - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brea, California

Went there this morning for breakfast and sat down at the bar stools. We literally sat there as 2 of the young waitresses looked at us numerous times and not once did they ask if we had been helped!! They both just leaned on the counter next to the cash register sipping their drinks. One of them had dark hair and wore glasses. The other girl had dishwater blond hair. After 8 minutes we got up and walked out! Horrible customer service!! read more

Kimmie's Coffee Cup - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brea, California

I used to love coming here but I always felt uneasy. The service always seemed unfriendly whenever I'm here with my family. We being asian, in a white establishment... you just feel it from time to time at this joint. The waitresses always seemed annoyed whenever we ordered, or asked for anything. They would sigh or roll their eyes. I observed how they treated others and it confirmed my suspicion. I came because the food is pretty good and it's quaint...but the last time I came I said enough is enough. I don't get this treatment when I go to other Kimmies. But here...yea the waitresses are just very mean. Won't be coming back. read more

Leslie is the most awesome person in the staff! Professionalism with a touch of very welcoming home feeling, great start for 2022! I wish all people I meet were like her, very accommodating and knowledgeable. Thanks so much for making this a wonderful experience! Thanks Leslie! read more

The GOOD: Very cute, small "hole in the wall" family owned business. Friendly ambiance. Food was excellent! Very tasty.... This establishment only serves breakfast and lunch. Closes at 2 pm. Service was likewise excellent! Coffee cups were monitored and refills were readily available. The BAD: Forget about the 2 $$ that Yelp has posted. This place is darn pricey!!! $52 tab for breakfast for a party of two!!! That is outrageous in my opinion. If you are seeking good value for your money, this is the wrong place! The UGLY: No Senior Discount. And...Get this: $.99 cents service charge for paying with a credit card!! While I am happy that I tried this place, I would be hesitant to recommend it. And it is highly unlikely that I will return. read more

The worst experience!! Food was good enough to get 2 stars but the customer service terrible!! They have young girls working for them! Which come to work with a horrible attitude! We walked in put our name on list! 10-15-20 -25-30 minutes went by! Nothing They sat several people that had sign in Way after we did!! ( at this point, I thought because I'm Mexican) Then a group of 6-comes in, OMG they sat them right away!! Talking about being money hungry and not caring about small groups of 2, that was waiting well over 30 min.( shame) welll that did it! I finally went to ask, " how much longer for 2 of us to be seated? Then I said You are sitting people that came in after us!? She looked at me with her damn teenage attitude and said " we'll your next now, and Soo!!" I was like WTF!! We ate there because we we're hungry!! But Kimmies coffee never again!! Experience was TERRIBLE read more

Cute restaurant and would have potential if it wasn't for the bad service and subpar food. We only waited 10 minutes to be seated, but 45 minutes for our food; hash browns were cold and hard. We were not asked once how we were doing or for refills when our cups were completely empty. We try to be understanding, maybe it was just a bad day, but when you are paying $100+ for a family of four, you expect better food and service, and not to feel like ordering or asking for more coffee/water is inconveniencing the server. read more

Best food and staff. Small and quaint inside and plenty of seating outside under a cover. Parking behind can get congested but I have been able to find a spot every time (try not to park in the spot for the liquor store by the street in back because it makes it hard for folks to pop in and out of the liquor store). Kimmies is disability friendly and has a large single stall bathroom inside. Kimmies story is remarkable and in addition to the awesome food and staff, I love supporting businesses owned by people who make a difference in the lives of other people. read more

I tend to read reviews after my initial visit and never before so that my judgement is not compromised and my review is fair and only based on my experience. It is a cute little spot and on Sunday afternoon around 1 pm there was plenty of room to sit and eat. The place looks nice but looking a little deeper I noticed some soda splats on one of the walls in the servers area. Just tells me they don't pay attention to the fine detail. Food - the food was edible. Nothing fantastic. Just seemed like the type of food you buy from a supplier. Nothing seemed fresh or made in house. The exception would be the gravy. It was decent. I had the country fried steak with eggs over medium and hash browns well done. Also a waffle well done. Nothing well done about those hash browns and as previously stated the country fried steak just seemed like something you would buy pre-made and just heat up and serve. The waffle was bready. Nothing really wrong with that if that is what you like but not my favorite type of waffle. I like light and crispy. Service - the service was okay. I had a nice lady serve me as opposed to one of the younger girls. The lady was nice and came by a few times to make sure I was good and my soda was refreshed. At one point near the end of my visit one of the girls asked me if I would like a refill. Not overly welcoming or even welcoming at all but there was service. Now I have read things about racism and entitlement. Being an older Hispanic male I didn't feel they were being racist towards me nor do I understand how someone could determine if someone felt they were entitled as they worked as a server in a coffee shop. I did not experience any of that. Overall it was a place to eat. Not a place I would go out of my way to visit again, but if I was starving, I was close by, and there was no wait I would eat here again. However, those would be the only circumstances for a revisit. As always, your mileage may vary. read more

Food was disgusting and it didn't help that I found a hair in it. I let the waitress know and she didn't do anything about it. Service was horrible, worst I've ever had. If you want to support a family business and enjoy a nice breakfast I recommend Scotty's in Whittier. read more

Came in at the ungodly hour of 7am on a Sunday to Kimmie's during Mothers' day on recommendation of Yelper Jim W, who is an habitué of this breakfast palace. Classic American diner that would be comfortable somewhere in the Midwest but near the border of Brea & Fullerton. Open only for breakfast & lunch, but dark for dinner. Service is clipped, efficient, not with the stereotypical Hon or Honey on comedy TV. Mostly traditional American, but Mexicanesque touches of breakfast burritos, tacos, quesadillas, etc. I got the Mexican Scramble, 3 eggs, that looks more like an Italian Fritatta. Pleasantly dense egg texture containing red bell pepper, canned Ortega chile, sweet Japapeño, chopped tomato, house made pork sausage, shredded corn tortillas, melted, stringy cheddar & jack cheese. Topped w/ sour cream, luscious, fully ripened, buttery, avocado, funky, fresh green herbal, sulfur tinged green onion. What made this eggy dish was that the fresh vegetal ingredients were chopped and not fully cooked so they retained their al dente, refreshing textures. House made salsa is stewed, puréed tomato, onion w/ a good hint of cilantro. A bit overblended perhaps & no detectable chile heat, but a slug of Tapatio hot sauce w/ smoky Chipotle & other red chiles, vinegar acidity for flavour wakenIng gastrique was a good accompaniment to the Mexican Scramble's subtly sweet undertone. Hash Browns are standard shredded potatoes browned to a crispy texture on the outside & soft potato earthiness inside. Coffee seems to be de rigueur at these breakfast places so I followed the routine. But a "breakfast beer" like a Hefe Weizen or Weißbier would have made a good pairing. 4- Yelp stars. read more

came to kimmies coffee cup, stood there waiting for 20 mins while the hostess saw us and didn't acknowledge, this place is real small hard to miss someone come in, then a couple came in after us and got seated right away, while still waiting no one said hi or greeted us. we left and went to toast up the street! go there instead better service ! read more

Simple and casual breakfast place. The menu has all of your favorites from savory to sweet. It's a decent size place but there could be a wait. Service moves really fast so once you're seated you aren't waiting too long for food. The pancakes and eggs Benedict are my personal favorites. I also love that their hashbrowns are always crispy. Definitely a place worth checking out if you haven't already. They have several locations in the area, each just as good. read more

My husband and I (over 30 year residents in Brea) just left Kimmies wondering why the waitress was looking at us as if she were disgusted. I don't know what high horse she's riding, but it really wasn't nice of her. It literally took away my appetite and made it hard for my husband to eat there. We will never go back. What are you preview read more

I know a lot of the people say the service is par, but it's just because they have strong personalities and it's a fast paced environment. I feel welcomed when I walk in. I find the food to be delicious. I recommend the deluxe roast beef, patty melt, and pancakes. The only thing that wasn't the best experience was being confused for a couple of minutes of whether or not I seat myself. But overall it was a really nice experience. Will come back. read more

Kimmies has always been my all time fav from Fullerton and Brea locations. When my friend introduced me to Kimmies on Commonwealth Ave. we met the owner so delightful and charming. Then their breakfast back then to now is delicious including all the flavors for coffee. The Scrambler was his favorite and mine too. And all the darling unique tablecloths and decorations so festive especially during the holidays!! And the waitresses aprons are so sweet with such great hospitality. I still bring my friends there thank you Kimmies!!! read more

This wasn't my first time here but I had to write a review today. We walked in and was immediately turned off by the rude host/server. The food was decent but expensive for what it's worth. All throughout our experience the servers were extremely indifferent and inattentive. It's kind of ironic because they have a Christian station playing in the background but they seem either miserable or just plain rude. I think they are family owned so they probably don't care. They have another location in Fullerton so maybe they might be slightly nicer but who knows. read more

Keeping this one simple. Food is great. Service is prompt, but it's a loud restaurant. I go about 4x a year.

this is what we got on our takeout order this morning. Service has been drastically declining and we decided to give it a second chance only to get this. i hate having to leave this review but who would eat an avocado like that? read more
