    Stopped in to Laguna Cafe today for breakfast and it's always terrific. The ambiance is cool and retro. The service is good and the food yummy. I had the Denver omelet with cottage cheese and sliced tomatoes with avocado . The coffee is good as well. Nice breakfast and highly recommended.

    Just a really nice, wholesome breakfast spot! Really feels like you're at home, not just the ambiance and vibe but also the friendless of the staff. Food was great too!

    The family and I were meeting up with friends who had just moved some of their parents things to the woods. We'd passed this small little restaurant multiple times while driving to the ALDI that's here in this plaza. It's a quaint quintessential mom and pop shop that is definitively a pillar of the community. The wonderful waiting ladies give it their all and it shows in their care and attentiveness. I had the pin up burger while the wife had had the bacon gorgonzola. Both were medium rare, and they both were 'well done' and we devoured the burgers and the homemade chips that evaporated off our plates in minutes. This is going into the rotation of foods down here! Let's go!!

    Old school diner with giant model airplanes, a lot of marine corps memorabilia. There were balloons tied to chairs to celebrate marine corps 250th bday. The owner was Tammy and one of the servers was Linda. Place has been there for a long time. Everyone is very friendly. Got a chili cheese omelette, short stack pancakes, and bacon onion rings bbq charbroiled cheeseburger. Food was good tasting. Cool experience, nice ambience and decorations. Almost like a time capsule with all the memorabilia.

    Very nice experience here at Laguna Cafe & Grill. Inside and outside seating available. Plenty of parking. Very patriotic, military oriented atmosphere, decoration, and vibe. Staff is very welcoming, high energy, friendly, and kind. The food was great. I had the omelette with bacon, my wife had the Burrito verde, and our daughter had the chili and cheese omelette. Very tasteful, fresh ingredients, good texture, and well seasoned. A little out of our way, but it was definitely worth it.

    Love this café! Amazing food and the ice tea is so thirst quenching. I'm going to a regular here on Sunday mornings

    I stumbled upon this little cafe & I'm so glad I did. It's adorable. Great food, great service & great ambiance. I had the BLT is was delicious. They're know for the burgers & breakfasts, which I will be going back for! But my favorite was homemade potato chips!!!This place is so cute & homey & comfortable, I highly recommend it!

    There's a cafe I like to give patronage to that's about 5 minutes from my office. Some of the kindest and hardest working ladies you'll ever meet. Last time I was here, they made me feel especially cared for when I needed it most. I highly recommend you visit Laguna Cafe.

I have heard of this place for years and finally tried it out. The service is great and was impressed with the overall cleanliness. The breakfast burrito was average sized at a decent price.

I came right at opening, and I think I must have been the first customer in the store! I quickly ordered a bacon breakfast burrito and was asked if I wanted green or red salsa. I opted for both. The wait was reasonable, and I ended up getting my food after about 5-10 minutes. During the wait time, I perused the wine selection, and, while I don't know much about wine, it seemed like a great selection at a glance. I guess they also operate as a wine bar in the evening hours, because there was seating and in the place. Anyways, onto the burrito itself. It came with thick bacon, which I like, eggs, cheese, and tater tots. A simple, but tried and true method. I thought it was alright. It was acceptable for a breakfast burrito, and i thought the portion was reasonable. It didn't wow me, so it doesn't go higher on the rating. However, let's talk the salsa. I actually really enjoyed the salsa from here. Both the green and red were delicious, and it made the whole meal. The green was a creamy avocado (not spicy) that was rich and vegetal, and the red was a pretty spicy fresh-tasting one. I was meh on the burrito, but saved by the salsa for sure. Maybe I came on an off day, because I'm convinced with salsa like that, you've gotta be making a quality product.

We were happily greeted by our server Gianna and the Bartender, both smiled and welcomed us. The food came quickly and at perfect temperatures. We discovered 'happy hour' while there and ordered from that menu since we like to share small plates. This happy hour is one of the best values in the Laguna Niguel area! The QUALITY of this food sets them apart from others! The restaurant itself is small and intimate with music on certain nights. We arrived at 4:15 so there were 4 people at the bar, and tables were open. We ordered a caesar salad, the calamari, and Pappardelle Bolognese, plus my hubbies favorite the famous 'giant' meatball starter topped with marinara and burrata, served in an all-clad skillet. The Caesar salad was just enough for my husband and was served cold with crisp romaine lettuce, fried capers, buttery croutons but it was the dressing that was really delicious! It was perfectly balanced, and we could actually taste the anchovies! Yum. That house-made huge meatball I mentioned is a blend of beef, pork, and veal, and one of the best meatballs in the area (and beyond), no exaggeration! As an Italian Nonna, I've been making meatballs for decades and this recipe is legit. The pappardelle is house-made by a friend of the owner. He spends time in his kitchen and you can absolutely taste it with every bite! The pasta was cooked perfectly and the bolognese was delightful, I could taste the richness and depth of flavors with a hint of wine. Yum. The calamari was perfect! I wonder if they soak the squid before breading them because it's so tender even the tentacles (which are my favorite part ) melt in your mouth! The batter is tasty and the breading had the perfect balance of spices that blended together nicely and it was served with a side of marinara and lemon wedges (the later is my preference.) The butter cake is house-made by the owner and decadently delicious, sooo yummy. We brought it home but ate the delicious ice cream on the side. This is a great little neighborhood ristorante and a favorite of many! It's a great place to eat 'alfresco' on the outdoor patio, or listen to music on Friday or Saturday night. Make a reservation as it not a large place. Buon appetito!

There seemed to be enough people working but for whatever reason the service was incredibly slow. Our server would approach one table, then disappear, then return with one item. Them repeat. It was so bad I had to go inside and see what was going on. (20 min after receiving a drink) There were plenty of employees- mostly they were standing around. Our server was very nice- and the food was great, but management needs to figure out a system for serving that avoids 20 minutes delays before ordering. Our server was serving tables in and out of the restaurant and having a hard time at that. Finished our drinks before we were able to get her attention to order our dinner.

This location is small with a tiny little outdoor patio, a small bar area, and a small number of indoor metal seats and wooden back booth seats. It is not unclean, but it is not particularly shiny clean either. It always feels a little grimy, and that is not helped by the fact that the tables are always a little bit sticky and sometimes have remnants from their previous guests. In terms of sandwiches and salads this is a pretty clean-eating facility. The produce is always fresh. I've tried a number of sandwiches at this location and they are always MEH. Especially at this location, you have to double check your order because they frequently just make the sandwich how they generally make the sandwich and don't take any modifications into consideration. As someone who is allergic to onions, no matter how many times I request no onions they will be on there! One of my family doesn't like the secret sauce and often orders a side of Italian dressing instead and inevitably it either comes as a barr sandwich or that secret sauce is still on there. And things like that. I'm not saying I don't come here and grab a sandwich, because when I'm in the area, short on time and need a quick bite, I will often stop by. I just have yet to have the specific sandwich that I asked for and the experience I am hoping for. Not bad, not good, just OK.
