    Green Goddess salad
    Marlene P.

    There is a distinct odor when you walk in, not unpleasant but sharp, pungent and hard to place sort of vinegar maybe onion it eventually dies down after being seated but then got strong odor of ash tray or upholstery from a smokers house. Guess the staff is nose blind. I ordered the green goddess salad. It said it had avocado pieces I didn't see them and very little chicken. It was good. When I walked in I noticed a wadded up napkin in a decorative rooster near the hostess area.

    Just want to say that Lorena was absolutely awesome gave great recommendations as you can see in my pictures. Lastly, great customer service was attentive but gave us space. Will definitely be coming back soon.

    Egg White & Veggie Omelet
    Mimi L.

    Ordered breakfast through uber eats on a Sunday morning. I was glad that the portions were big enough. I was really hungry after early morning gardening. We have tried veggie omelet with potatoes, sausage and scrambled eggs, also two muffins. The food was very comforting and the muffins were surprisingly tasty. A satisfying breakfast and we would order delivery from here again!

    I've been to fine dining restaurants with worse service this location! We were greeted with cheer, and our server Vanessa was delightful! She had such a fun and bubbly personality that instantly made us look forward to our next visit. The food is great too!! Really big portions. I also really loved all the attention to details in the decor, so pretty and cozy.

    Some family and i visited for lunch on our way to a retreat and we left content. Our server was very friendly, and although their lunch rush was busy, he didn't seem flustered or as if he was trying to hurry up with our table at any point in our visit. Everyone's food came out at the same time and we all enjoyed our lunch. We ordered their muffin special they had going on and enjoyed our muffins as a late night snack! Although you can tell it's a little dated, it seems well kept. Thankful that our pit stop filled our tummy's and allowed us to start our retreat off right.

    Tiramisu with a latte

    Our go to place when craving yummy dessert. This time I had their Apple & Cherry Cobbler a la mode and hubby had their Tiramisu, both so delicious! I like trying their adult beverages at times and this night I had their White Russian. Went great with my dessert. The service is always friendly and super speedy. The ambiance seems to always be on the quiet side so it allows for perfect conversations.

    I felt like having a waffle this morning, but it had to be crispy and light and airy, and I said let's go to Mimi's and there was the most perfect waffle with a biscoff cookie topping served by Lorena, our favorite waitress! She also recommended the new biscoff cappuccino that made me feel like it was my birthday!! And she's always ready to refill your cup no matter what! Perfect way to start a Saturday!

    Loved brunch here, love the vibes, the home ambiance, LORENA was an amazing host, on top of service for us, food was delicious. Service was amazing. Will definitely come back

    Amazing experience! Our waiter Lorena was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcomed. She checked on us often and made great recommendations. The food was delicious, but Lorena's great service really made the visit stand out. I'll definitely be coming back!

A weekend brunch with friends brought me to Madre's Whittier, where the menu offered plenty of tempting options--and a few unexpected lessons about ordering seafood. I tried the Ensenada Omelet, loaded with shrimp, salmon, crab, and octopus. Now, I'm a seafood lover, but octopus and I aren't exactly close friends. I asked if it could be removed, but since the seafood mix is pre-made, the octopus had already RSVP'd to the party. The omelet was good, topped with a creamy sauce, but not something I'd order again. The crab appeared to be imitation crab, and while everything was prepared well, it just wasn't a standout for me. The real star? The strawberry pancakes. Delicious! Next time, I'd order those with a side of eggs and call it a win. I also sampled the chilaquiles, and now that's a dish I'd come back for. The Tiramisu Latte was another favorite--not overly sweet and packed with that classic tiramisu flavor I love. A special shoutout to our waitress, Annie, who was attentive, friendly, and made our brunch experience even better. My Verdict: Skip the Ensenada Omelet and build your brunch around the stars of the menu instead. The strawberry pancakes are the must-order item, the chilaquiles are a strong savory choice, and the Tiramisu Latte ties everything together. If you order wisely, Madre's delivers a brunch worth coming back for.

There is more outdoor seating on the covered patio than indoor seating. Both seating areas are nice. The lady who seated us was very friendly and pretty attentive and especially considering she wad handling a lot of other tables. Both the house eggs Benedict and house French toast were good. Was expecting crispy bacon on the benny considering the description, but the only difference from classic seemed to be the avocado. The benny egg and muffin were both collected well, especially the eggs they did a great job on those. Wife didn't like the flavor of the hollandaise sauce, but thought it was fine. She liked the French toast much better. You did not need syrup as the butter cream and chocolate sauce were plenty sweet on their own. Half serving is probably ok for one person, full was nice to share. The bathroom was clean, large, and single person--great for a pit stop before you head out! The mason jar waters were cool. Overall, nice local joint for a peaceful weekend or vacation breakfast. Definitely recommend giving them a try. Will be back sometime.

There were NO customers as we entered the restaurant, perhaps we came in rather late, an hour before closing. Nonetheless, considering there's no one inside the place, the service was aloof, distant and not attentive. As staff were going home, the two waitresses did not check on us for refill of coffee and water. When we paid the bill and generously tipped, we said, "bye!", the waitress was seating with her phone glued to her face. The food was decent. I ordered the "House full French Toast", and it is loaded with sliced strawberries and bananas, and drowned in chocolate drizzles. The brioche toasts were a tad dried and spongy but well coated with eggs. Delicious still. My other half ordered a Spanish omelette; it was good. We both got a little queasy in the tummy afterward. Considering spotty service and average food, we're not coming back. 2.5 stars.

The idea was to enjoy my coffee while getting organized--paying bills, planning calendar events, and having the opportunity to focus without any distractions from my usual surroundings. In search of the perfect spot, I turned to Yelp, a reliable resource for uncovering hidden gems nearby. Upon stepping into the coffee shop, I was immediately greeted with warm hospitality, setting the tone for a delightful experience. The ambiance of the place was truly captivating--it was bright and welcoming, infused with an aesthetic charm that instantly put me at ease. I couldn't help but be intrigued by the design elements throughout the shop, which added an inviting touch to its overall atmosphere. Before I settled in, I asked the staff if I could snap a few photos to capture the essence of this delightful space. They graciously welcomed my request, and I was shown to my table, which, quite uniquely, was designated by a number--a small detail that I found charming. As I browsed the menu, I encountered a small conundrum: I wasn't entirely sure what to order. I wanted to break the mold and try something out of the ordinary. My curiosity was piqued by their exclusive offering of Café de la Olla--a traditional hot drink that piqued my interest right away. I ultimately settled on a hearty plate that included rice, beans, and enticing potato tostones, accompanied by two beautifully cooked sunny-side-up eggs. As I waited for my order, I noticed the café was filled with the sweet sounds of old-school music from the '60s and '70s, which only enhanced the cozy ambiance while I sipped my drink. Now, let's talk about the food! I must say, I rated the café itself a solid 4 out of 5 for its overall charm, while the rice earned a respectable 4 out of 5. The beans were rich in flavor and received a fair 3.9 out of 5. The potato tostones, delicately bathed in a savory red sauce, stood out with an impressive score of 4.3 out of 5--these are a must-try if you visit! And as for the sunny-side-up eggs, they were good, but hey, eggs are eggs, right? Overall, the entire experience was quite enjoyable, from the delightful food to the warm atmosphere. A special shout-out goes to Ana, whose exceptional customer service made my visit even more memorable. The combination of fantastic service, inviting aesthetics, and satisfying food truly made for a perfect morning retreat. I can't recommend this spot enough for anyone looking for a relaxing place to unwind and focus on what matters.

Cocktails overall some major hits and other misses. Sgroppino 5/5 - strong but with a great flavor profile Dragon fruit cocktail 2/5 - too light tasting, not much flavor or alcohol? Gave more juice Peach Bellini 4.5/5 - table side pour is nice touch and rest of bottle was nice. Syrup has a sourness but mixed in with Bellini and gelato and tasted just right. Melontini - 2.5/5 light, somewhat good flavor but nothing memorable. Ambience seems nice but it can be loud inside with open floor plan.
