Food was great and service was exceptional. Sugey our server was amazing. Definitely coming back

Visiting Santana, we went to this little cozy place called Loaded Cafe. The new manager was very pleasant. He brought our food and introduced himself.It was a very good experience. read more

This was definitely a social media win! Saw it on instagram and told my family I wanted to go here for Mother's Day! It definitely did not disappoint! We came and were seated right away! So yay us! The staff were welcoming & friendly. The menu was a lot! So many options. They also gave you mini conchas once you're seated so that was a nice treat! What we ordered: Super Stacker- this is 2 scramble eggs with mushrooms, spinach, chicken, bell peppers/onions and cheese with choice of side & we got hash-brown (well done). This was delicious and super full filling. There was a lot more cheese than that expected but overall, it was good and tasty. My husband & I shared this plate because we wanted to have room to try their French toast! Giving this plate a 9/10 Caramel Churro Stuffed French Toast: this was so good! It looks as good as it tastes. So glad we tried it! It was huge but hit the spot after the breakfast plate. Perfect sweet treat. 10/10 Original breakfast plate: this comes with choice of 2 bacon or 2 sausage, 2 eggs any way, and pancakes. My daughter got this plate with bacon & eggs were scrambled. She enjoyed it and it was a huge plate. Brioche French Toast Combo: this comes with 2 eggs any way, choice of 2 bacon or 2 sausages & French toast. My son for this plate got it with 2 bacon & scramble eggs along with a side of hashbrowns as well. He loved the French toast and added whipped cream to it and really enjoyed everything. Drinks: We just got regular coffee, the horchata latte, apple juice and milk. Just normal drinks lol But we didn't come for drinks, we came for the food. They also have a bakery literally to the side of the restaurant and it was nice to be able to pick up treats for our friends on the way out. Definitely coming back to try the other items. read more

4/10 Crunchy Asada Chilaquiles - OMG this plate of food SUCKED and I'm not even being dramatic. The food was so bad, all the way down to the hashbrowns. Let's start with those... they were dry, clearly started off frozen, and had absolutely no flavor. Secondly, the carne asada that came with the chilaquiles was definitely old and just reheated. It was chewy and did not taste fresh at all! This was SUCH a disappointment. I'm never coming back here again. 10/10 On The House Conchas - These were honestly the only good things about eating here. They gave us complimentary conchas and they were actually fresh, hot, and tasted freaking spectacular! Cost - $23.00 read more

Loaded Cafe was fine, but not especially memorable. Plenty of parking, clean space, fun decor, and the attached bakery is a nice touch. Stephany was good, and we came in about an hour before closing when we were the only ones there. We tried the trio iced coffee, asada crunchy chilaquiles, and the stuffed French toast combo with country potatoes and sausage. Nothing was bad, but nothing really wowed me either. With so many strong breakfast spots out there, this just wouldn't be my first pick to return to. read more

The waiter was polite and attentive. The food was ready quickly and was delicious and fresh and was reasonably priced. They give you a fresh warm concha while you wait. The waiter gave me a to go cup for my coffee when I was done. The restroom was clean and well stocked with the essentials. I would definitely come back again. read more

5-month update! This has become our go-to for breakfast whenever we get the chance. Unfortunately, it's also the go-to place for breakfast for many other people. If you go on weekends, you want to get there before 9 am, at the latest 9:30. By 10 am, the wait can be 30 minutes. In fact, we skipped going here because we could see the wait would be longer than we wanted. The only issue they have is that the place is too small! I've only been to their Placentia location, which is much bigger, but I'm going to assume this is the smallest. Last time we had breakfast here, a group of 8 was ahead of us, and a group of 13 was behind us! If you don't want to wait as long, you might consider the few outside tables. What impresses us every visit is how friendly and positive the staff is. Regardless of how crazy it gets, they are always smiling and appear happy to help wherever they can. The only downside right now is that the kitchen doesn't seem to keep up. The food is great, but it's rarely all come out at the same time, and I've had to ask about a late item that appears to have been forgotten. Again, the servers shine when we remind them. They apologize and usually get right on the kitchen staff. read more

Loaded Cafe - Orange - Machaca with Eggs / canned beans and salty rice - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orange, California

My friend drove about 1 hour and 40 minutes to try this place with me. We went specifically for the large concha and coffee. The server mentioned the coffee is meant for around seven people and gave us a look since we were only three. After we ordered, the server returned about 5-7 minutes later to tell us they didn't have the big concha, and that it would take a while because they still needed to bake it. It was really disappointing since this was the main reason we came. I guess next time we'll have to call ahead. For reference, we visited on a Saturday around 12 p.m. One thing we did love is that they bring warm conchas to the table as soon as you sit down, such a nice touch. Unfortunately, the food itself was disappointing. I ordered the quesabirria tacos, which come as a set of three. I liked the crispy cheese on the outside, but the meat wasn't great, and the consomé was really bad. It tasted more like the tomato sauce they use on their regular tacos, not birria. We also tried the potato crispy tacos, and they were just average. The aguas frescas were good, tamarindo was the best. Overall, the experience wasn't great and definitely not worth the hype. I might return to try the the sweet options like the Nutella concha, but I'll skip the Mexican dishes. The conchas were good, and I even took some home since the bakery is right next door. read more

Came in for a late breakfast early lunch meeting and was impressed with the service. We had such great service! The 2 tacos were put into stale shells which were hard too chew. The eggs were good and the pancakes were cake like. They are also connected to the Panecita business next door .The coffee was hot and ready and the place got packed quickly. Happy to have them here In Orange. We were too stuffed to try the breads and sweets next door but the cakes looked amazing! read more

I came here thinking it was a work and study cafe so I brought a load of books and my laptop, ready to work. Once I stepped inside, I realized it was more of a restaurant. Since I was already there, I asked to be seated near an outlet and the friendly waitress was able to accommodate. I ended up ordering the crispy potato tacos with spicy red sauce and their flight of coffee trio. The concha was on the house and it was delicious. The potato tacos were good, it came in 3 but I was only able to finish 2. I was not impressed with coffee though. It came in caramel, hotchata, and chocolate. The caramel was my favorite, the horchata did not have a strong taste of coffee or horchata, and the chocolate one was forgettable. I left that flight of coffee almost full. After eating, I stayed for about 2 hours to get some work done. Around 4pm, I was told they were closing, which I wasn't aware that they close so early. No biggie. All in all, the place has friendly workers and dining area is clean. I love that there is child hanging out in the kitchen learning, but someone needs to keep an eye on him more so that all compliance is followed. read more

I saw all the good reviews and decided to come in. First off, this place is super clean including the restroom. The menu is huge. Their food will make any tummy happy. I had the County breakfast which is two eggs, four sausage links, and two biscuits with gravy. To start off they give you a cinnamon pastry which was tasty. The County breakfast was very good and filling. Service was great. There's plenty of parking. This is a great breakfast place. read more

I love finding new brunch spots in Orange :) especially since brunch is my favorite! Loaded Cafe in Orange did not disappoint. Their menu is so extensive, it was hard to choose what to order! I went with the chicken guacamole stacker with fruit on the side. I liked that I was able to substitute fruit for the hash browns. The stacker was incredible! I hadn't tried eggs with beans on top before, but it actually went really well with it. The beans were so flavorful and cooked well. The guacamole, chicken, pico de gallo, and cotija cheese on top went perfectly together. For my drink, I decided to try out the iced coffee trio, with horchata, chocolate, and coconut flavored coffee. My favorite out of the trio was the horchata. The coffees were good, although I feel that they were a bit bitter and could use a little more sweetness or possibly flavored cream inside. Their service was great and the restaurant is very clean. It looks like there's a panaderia right next door as well; I wasn't sure if it was part of the restaurant. They have a good amount of seating and I liked the comfy booths. I went on a Saturday, and my server did mention that they hadn't updated their hours and that they actually close at 3. I would love to return and try their Super Stacker (I love mushrooms), pancakes, waffles, and conchas. I would also enjoy trying their aguas frescas trio. Overall, I had a lovely time here. :) read more

I know, I know! Normally you see a picture with food on the plate. My breakfast (Supper Stacker) was amazingly good. When you sit down, they give you complimentary warm concha. I'm not a concha fan but these were delicious! And the end of our meal the walked over with a little pastry to go. They don't always do that but when they do, it's nice. read more

Small inside and few tables outside. It took an hour from the time we checked in to be sat and get food. They didn't seem too busy but things still took a while. I got the horchata iced latte and it was lacking flavor. The brioche strawberry banana French toast was very sweet so just be mindful if you don't like super sweet things. The Hashbrowns were probably our favorite part of the meal. It was an ok experience. read more

Service was amazing! We walked in and immediately got sat down by the host and server. Our server, Sugey was amazing. She was attentive, and provided great service. There were so many food options! I enjoyed my chilaquiles steak plate, but wish the green salsa had more flavor. We were given complimentary bread and it was delicious! Overall - a great experience! read more

We've always wanted to give this restaurant a try and today we did. We got seated right away and got some waters and the conchas sweet bread was delicious. The place was nice bright and clean. The bathroom was also very clean So we sat for about 10-15 before we placed our order. Then we sat for about 30+ minutes and then the server came up to us and told us they have a problem with their system- our order was never placed !and server promised us to rush ours We almost walked out but then after about 45 minutes our food came out and we're glad we waited. Food was hot and delicious Wait staff were apologetic about the wait. We'll try it again read more

We do like going here and know not every experience will be the best. Today we ordered coffee got a bowl full of empty creamers and dirty napkins. Service was little slow. $5 all you can eat, pancakes and coffee for $4.30... that's an expensive cup of JOE! See where they get you! read more

Came in on a Sunday during brunch time and had a wonderful experience. Everyone was friendly but Nery and Elizabeth went above and beyond in making sure we have everything we needed. Our favorites were the crunchy asada chilaquiles, dulce de leche french toast and the strawberry banana nutella concha! Everything looked so good when they arrived that we forgot to take pictures. Decorations inside are very cute and pink. Will definitely be back and brining more people. read more

Finally stopped into loaded cafe. What a great experience. The little bakery bread was really good. Cinnamon sugar and sugar. Mmmmmm. Very good. Great start.

Food is excellent! Catering to work is great. Eating at the cafe is terrible. Service is awful. People are very nice but the whole order was wrong the entire visit. Things kept getting forgotten. I had to ask for sometime 3 times and still never got what I asked for. Finally server came and asked if we wanted the check. I said yes. She came back to our table 2 times asking if we were okay but NO CHECK. I finally walked up and just paid and left. Good is good People are nice but the server I had had no idea what she was doing and honestly ruined the experience. And I didn't even get my basket of pan to top it off! read more

Great service from Suegey I think was her name. Very attentive. Food was good. The strawberry hibiscus agua Fresca was really good.

I absolutely love this place! They're a bit different where they actually serve you pan dulce for starters. They're very small and cute little bite sized pieces. I've ordered the dulce de leche French toast, and their churro French toast. Both were very tasty! Their crepes are great as well! Additionally, their service is always spectacular! From the hosts to the servers! This place definitely gained a new regular :) read more

I recently dined here, and my experience was quite disappointing. The food was served cold, with the only warm item being the torta. Unfortunately, it didn't even come with cheese or onions as advertised. I also ordered a hot latte, but it arrived cold. To make matters worse, the service was incredibly slow, and we were only given one napkin for our table of three. Overall, this visit left a lot to be desired, and I won't be returning. For the price not worth a dime! read more

We would have liked to actually try the food but we were sat and not even looked at for 15 minutes.

Heard this spot was great. Came after church and honestly super disappointed. Everyone was friendly though and very attentive. We got the asada chilaquiles, I am not a fan of egg so they let me substitute it for Mexican rice, ordered dulce de leche latte and we got our free mini concha's super cute very firm and just okay. Once the order came out it was cold and my husband got cold meat and I got the eggs ... terrible. They were very nice though and immediately replaced both orders at this point , I told my husband to let's just go to our new spot and he insisted we stay. We both wish we would have left the food is not seasoned and very plain. It was very busy lots of families coming in non stop unfortunately this place is over hyped. We will not be returning. The atmosphere was okay, lots of color and chatter... felt fast food-ish. Giving it 3 stars since they were friendly. read more

The place is clean and comfortable, but the food was terrible. The menu pictures are straight-up misleading -- the steak chilaquiles looked packed with meat in the photo, but my plate came with barely half of that, and the meat was cold. The sauce was sweet, not spicy at all, which made the whole dish taste wrong. If you're looking for real Mexican food, this is definitely not the spot. read more
