    Chia latte
    Jennifer W.

    It's my second time here and the atmosphere and the service is still so great that deserve 6 stars. My son ordered the chai latte hot (yes, i made him) and he loves it. It is so flavorful with the right kick of spice with wonderful aroma that he finished it before me. I love my salted caramel latte with good balance for the creamy and sweet sense. We share the chicken and waffle and house Benedict. We are not really a fan for the ham part of the Benedict and hash brown has mild cheese flavor and taste good, but i will choose salad next time because I really love that last time. Chicken strip is very crispy and the waffle is in its perfect balance between fluffiness and cruschiness. Will definately come to try their steak breakfast next time.

    This is an order at the counter and go sit style establishment. They will bring the food out to you. It is a bit pricey, but the food was delicious. I tried the birria Benedict and it was a large portion, great flavor, and a hint of spice. My husband tried the salmon Benedict and really enjoyed it. My favorite was the seasonal waffle. It was amazing. Perfectly sweet, and had a great texture balance. I would go back to that alone. Service here was also great. Food did not take long, and we were checked on a couple of times.

    I'm so glad Poached is now in Whittier. Their food is always delicious and every bite is perfect! I've had their house Benedict and today I tried the Smoked Salmon Benedict and had to get the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, for the table, which are sublime.

    Dolce de leche latte
    Samantha S.

    Excellent experience - can't believe how fast the food came out and how good it was! Dulce de leche latte was a tasty as the foam was beautiful. Churro waffle was yummy, and the Brunch Burrito was awesome with the short rib and green tomatillo salsa. Servers were all very nice and helpful. Will definitely be coming back.

    Black beans, chilaquiles with sunny side up eggs. Matcha latte iced!

    Food here is always made fresh. The ingredients to my breakfast chilaquiles (green) are all cooked to perfection and more than enough for a perfect serving! Black beans that come with my meal are just the right side to this meal and you can get your eggs made to your choice. Service is frequently offered at table and the ambiance to my choice outside dining is so beautiful and welcoming. I give this breakfast location a HUGE must try! Thank you for always making my breakfast special and inviting. Definitely coming back!

    Poached has such a cute and refreshing brunch vibe -- clean, new, and bright. We arrived right around opening, and I loved the casual ordering style: order at the register like a café, grab a number, and choose your own table. We tried the classic breakfast plate with bacon, potatoes, and scrambled eggs, along with their seasonal Pumpkin & Pear Cream French Toast. The breakfast plate was large, filling, and nicely presented. The French toast was delicious and the pear was perfectly juicy, but there was a slight aftertaste from a sprinkle of seasoning (maybe nutmeg or cloves) that I personally wasn't a fan of. Service was also fast and friendly. Even though it's a more casual setup, they checked in on us regularly to make sure we were doing okay, which I appreciated. I also ordered a green tea matcha latte -- 10/10. So good. It is on the pricier side for brunch, but honestly that seems to be the norm these days. I'd definitely come back, just maybe not super often. Overall, a great spot for a cute brunch outing!

    Amazing morning family date. We enjoyed our visit but there were a long wait. When we finally got in we order at the cashier first and then they give us a table number to sit on. We found ours and enjoyed a fresh cup of cool water. Staff were friendly and helpful. There's plenty of parking space as long as there's movement happening otherwise, there's no parking haha. We did go in a Sunday Morning so that would explain a lot. We liked our visit and we enjoyed the time. Overall was good.

    I am a returning customer because the food and service are excellent. Everyone that reads this review needs to stop here and try anything on their menu. So delicious!!! It's a nice relaxing place to hang/eat with friends or family. Ambiance is friendly. Outdoor seating available for those of us who like open air.

    Classic breakfast and chilaquiles with cold brews.
    Raquel V.

    Tried this location for the first time. Not the best breakfast/brunch spot. The layout of it all seems off. You have to check in at front with worker, they take your name, you go and order, and then sit down at assigned table. However, servers are not coming around to see if you need water, utensils or anything. Once they drop the food off you have no interaction with any help. My bf had to go and walk inside to get sugars for coffee and utensils. This seems like a chaotic place if you have more than 10 people in your party. The food is just okay, nothing special. The egg whites I had were watery and the pork sausage links weren't appealing to eat. The sourdough, hash browns and avocado were very fresh and my bf liked the sauce of his chilaquiles. We got cold brews and they came black, no sugar or milk the side, and was a bit bitter. Overheard the table next to us ask 3 busboys and 2 staff if they can get their food that was super late to come out. A little disappointing overall, had higher hopes for a new exciting spot in town.

    First time trying Poached. Order at the front counter, take your # & find a seat /table. Some tables had a RESERVED sign ‍ Ordered Salmon Benedict w/hash browns 7/10 towards the benedict because the wilted /wet taste to bite from the greens was pretty gross! The hash browns 9/10 Fresh Orange juice 8/10 Scrambled eggs were delicious! Lemon ricotta pancake was 5/10 taste was similar to reg pancake (no hint of ) Ambiance was inviting & cute! They are going to need black out shades for when the sun is out because where we sat, it was way too hot by the window.

    Vegetable omelette
    Mary H.

    This is a new breakfast spot located in what used to be a bank. Plenty of parking in the back. We got lucky, we arrived just as they had a table open up. You order your food at the counter, get a number, then find a table. It's was pretty busy. Everything we ate was delicious. Even the breakfast potatoes were cooked just right, with just the right amount of seasoning and the right amount of roasting do they were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside side. I had the vegetable omelette with cheese. It had just the right amount of cheese inside so you could taste and appreciate the vegetables. Many times the cheese overwhelms the vegetables. We all remarked how good our meals tasted. The only downside is since you pay ahead the tip is added ahead before you are served. So you can't tip extra for great service.

    Chile verde omelette
    Larry G.

    I really wanted to like this spot, but the experience was well below expectations. I ordered the Chile Verde Omelette, and while the pork was tender, the dish was incredibly dry. There was barely any sauce inside or on top, which is the whole point of a chile verde dish. To make matters worse, the chicken sausage was served completely cold. The service was equally disappointing. After the food was dropped off, I was essentially ignored. No one ever came back to check on the meal or offer an iced tea refill. It's hard to justify a tip when the only "service" provided is the initial delivery of the plates. Unfortunately, I won't be rushing back.

    Coffee was hot and well brewed. Breakfast burrito was 10/10 in size, taste, & assemblage. Only drawback would be cost but that is debatable.

    Way to overpriced and the food still is trash. Smallest serving portions ever and outrageously expensive.

Everything came out together Which was super great. And drinks were being refilled, and water too I enjoyed my chicken sandwich. It sour dough bread lettuce & tomato, avocado, very tender chicken.

    Writing this review while seated in the restaurant waiting for our food on Mother's Day. We had a…read morereservation set for 11 for six people. When we arrived, the hostess notified us that they were accepting walk ups and reservations didn't matter. We waited over an hour to be seated. Initially, they sat us separately at two booths. This is unacceptable on Mother's Day when we were trying to celebrate our Grandmother. Thankfully, our waiter was able to clear a spot on the patio. Following being seated, the waiter did not come. I got up and asked if they could come to our table because we have two diabetic family members. The host I spoke with said he would send someone, but there was some attitude. Our waiter came and was kind, but the whole experience has been awful. We waited over an hour and twenty five minutes after being seated for our food to arrive, and they didn't bring it all out at once. My pancakes ended up having a hair in them and had to be sent back. We have since asked for a manager to come to the table 2x, and they have not come. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. It has ruined our last Mother's Day with our grandmother before she moves away later this year. Over two hours wasted total waiting to be seated and for our food to arrive.

    Great place to have dinner and drinks Great food…read more Service is great Ambiance is great

    I'm honestly very disappointed…read more We ordered delivery from what used to be one of our favorite local restaurants. Three years ago, we dined here and had an amazing experience, which is why we were excited to order again. Unfortunately, this meal was one of the worst restaurant experiences we've had. I ordered the pork ribs and fried shrimp. The ribs were extremely dry--so dry that they tasted like they had been cooked days earlier and reheated multiple times. They were nothing like the ribs I remembered from previous visits. After just a few bites, I started feeling uncomfortable. The fried shrimp was equally disappointing. It had almost no flavor at all and tasted bland and uninspired. My husband ordered the burger, which was advertised as a blend of Wagyu and regular beef. We were expecting something special, but the patty lacked flavor and the quality was disappointing. What surprised us even more was that we live only five minutes away, yet the burger bun arrived completely soggy. The packaging was also poor. The food came in cheap plastic containers without any ventilation holes. For fried foods especially, proper packaging is important to prevent steam from ruining the texture. It felt like very little care was put into preparing the order for delivery. To make matters worse, both my husband and I experienced stomach discomfort and excessive gas afterward, and we were still feeling it the next day. What makes this experience especially disappointing is that this was my husband's birthday dinner. I chose this restaurant because of the wonderful memories we had here years ago, but the food quality was nowhere near what we remembered. I genuinely cannot understand how food of this quality was considered acceptable to send out to customers. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was so disappointing that I felt compelled to share it. I sincerely hope the restaurant takes a closer look at its food quality and delivery standards.

I returned the plate and asked them to try again. When it finally came back, it was "medium-well" more on the "well" side unfortunately. Then to have this EXPENSIVE CUT OF MEAT NOT HAVE ANY FLAVOR!? TASTELESS! I couldn't believe it! So disappointed! Also, the mashed potatoes had way too much garlic and the carrots and asparagus were cold and barely cooked. It also looked like the restaurant had a full bar but they couldn't even make a pina colada! Or couldn't even recommend another alternative drink. We will not be returning.
