We came here on New Years Day and loved it! They were able to accommodate our party of 5 and our dog and set a table for us as the street was blocked off. The service was very friendly and accommodating and food was great! We ordered the steak and eggs, eggs Benedict, smoked salmon scramble and the kids got the pancake and eggs two ways and nothing was left on our plates! read more

Very lovely place for brunch... everything was tasty and flavorful not to mention very reasonable price read more

Solid 4 stars. Nice service, good food, but not great, though- especially in terms of portions vs price. Would eat here again only if I'm in the area and specifically craving them, I would not go out of my way though. read more

Rialto Cafe is what i would call a gem in Dowmtown Fullerton. I've been coming here off and on for around 9 years i would say. All the food is good but breakfast here is my favorite. I normally get steak and eggs with a side of sourdough and hash browns. Steak is always perfectly cooked how it is ordered. My partner is a pescatarian and normally gets a veggie option but wanted to try something new this time and ordered the salmon scrambler i think its called. She absolutely loved it. We love this place and come whenever we have a chance. Great food, service is nice and the clientel is as well. read more

I got the breakfast burrito and my friend go the BLTA. The breakfast burrito was pretty good. I put crispy hashbrowns in my burrito and got the becky style. It was yummy. But, it's pretty tough. I liked it better than george's but it was significantly and maybe double the price? It was good, but it's for sure not worth. It's just a good breakfast burrito. I had similar thoughts on the BLT. It's a BLT. read more

Second time coming here and it is slowly becoming our go to brunch spot. The wait is never terrible seeing as they have a huge outdoor area. It is ran by a small staff so come by early if you want home potatoes or eggs Benedict (ingredients run out quickly). The salmon crostini is a must followed by chilaquiles. read more

A quiet little place in an area where the street is closed off. Nice community feel and employees are very friendly. We had the breakfast panini and steak and eggs. Food was very good.I would highly recommend. read more

Typically love this place. Today it closed at 2pm. We show up at 1:20-1:25pm and they already did last call. Full restaurant but last call is 35 minutes before close? They would not let us have a table. Guys...you could of served us. Me: "so what time is last call?" Host: "basically now" 1:23pm Host: "we can't seat you but you can order takeout." So basically after 1:20 it's closed? With only takeout? I've probably been here 20 times. This is the first I've ever heard of this rule. This place is still great. But this rule is crazy. I will happily amend my review if they change the way they handle this. read more

I used to love this place. My husband and I were obsessed with Rialto's quiche and always had good service. When we went a couple weekends ago, however, it was the first time we had been back in several years and were very disappointed. The people working there couldn't hide their poor attitudes, and on top of being inattentive and taking forever to take our orders in a basically empty restaurant, they barely provided any customer service. The worst part, though? An outright lie. Again, we come for the quiche. But, when we tried to order it (an hour or so after the place opened) we were told by the server that they "ran out" of quiche for the day. So color me surprised when, after we finished our meals, another group came in, sat down at a table near us... and ordered (and received) quiche. May seem like pettiness on my part, but this place had tanked--particularly in any amount of meaningful customer service. read more

Was here Monday May 8th, 2022 at 8 30am to meet a couple other people for breakfast. Had reviewed many of the post here on Yelp about this little place and honestly was not expecting what I found as a customer. Had seen plenty of negative post and I'm sorry those people didn't experience the same great service and food when I visited. Ordered the Wilshire Omelet with wheat toast and has browns, and just did a glass of water, $14.50 plus tax and tip was my part of the bill. Pros- Service was great, seems to be a team effort as checked on by more than one person during our service. Place was spotless, sat by the large round table by one of the two front windows, very nice. Bathrooms, kept locked and spotless. Wheat toast a great slice of some kind of loaf I have never had before, was good! Food came out fast, and served hot. We were not rushed and both people I was here with liked this place very much. Plenty of outdoor seating available for those who enjoy the dining. Parking seems like it could be an issue during busy times in this area, but it was a slow and peaceful Monday morning for me so no issues! Cons- None. read more

If you're eating here and are paying cash, you better have exact change otherwise, they will keep your change and not bother to give you an explanation as to why. I paid cash and the cashier took my money and was getting ready to walk away when I asked her where my change was. She says they don't give change. Wtf?! It would be nice if they had a sign letting you know this. Very, very unprofessional. They are basically stealing your money. read more

We had the chilaquiles, breakfast burrito, and a single pancake. We thought the food was just okay. For the price, I wanted to be wow'd. Total came to $57 with tip. It's a small spot with good service! read more

Rialto Cafe - Chilaquiles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fullerton, California

Rialto is pretty small and there's not a whole lot of seating, so it can get busy pretty fast. I try to come early so as to avoid a longer wait time. Whenever I come here, I always order the breakfast crostini or the french toast. Both are such delicious and light breakfast options. Think "American brunch/breakfast" without the gross, sluggish food coma feeling afterwards. And I love that the french toast is so unique as well. Truly, it's "not your average" french toast. read more

Not bad ambiance was chill, prices are reasonable and the staff were nice. I'll come cack

WTF happened to this place? This place is only open Fri, Sat and Sun. now and this morning an hour after they opened they are already out of quiche? Who is managing this place to run out of one of your most popular items an hour after you open? read more

My "IT" and Go-To" Breakfast spot in downtown fullerton! The menu serves breakfast ALL DAY and has a lunch section with sandwiches and salads. I usually get breakfast items. I get the Go-Greek Omelette with the house potatoes (the house potatoes are so popular that they sometimes run out of them before lunch time. The hash-browns are still good if that does happen). The savory strawberry crepes are delicious for someone with a sweet tooth (they come with four so they are great to share). My Rialto date always says the bacon is thick and crispy which is a plus and hard to find at breakfast places. If you are a coffee person then you're in luck! They serve stumptown coffee, which also happens to be my favorite. They also have freshly squeezed orange juice. I mean who wouldn't love that? They also have beer options and mimosa's for the Sunday brunch experts. Lastly, the employees are friendly and always helpful! read more

I want to love this place but there is one definite area that needs improvement. The food we had was just not good. We came for breakfast on a Sunday morning. The order was steak and eggs with hash browns and a Denver omelette with breakfast potatoes. The steak was ordered medium rare but came over cooked. The hash browns were good. The Denver omelette was disappointing on all fronts. The eggs were over cooked, the omelette was dry and not seasoned. The breakfast potatoes were super undercooked and not good. Another personal complaint was the toast came unbuttered with margarine on the side, not with real butter. The staff was very nice and the ambiance was good- no complaints there. If I come back I'll probably order the parfait just to sit outside and have a mimosa. read more

Rialto Cafe is a popular Breakfast / Brunch Cafe in Downtown Fullerton. It's capacity is about 40-50, so yes it's small, and yes it's popular, so yes you will have to wait. You can't rush people to finish their food, pay and leave. On the other hand, when you do sit down and are paying for a service, you should be served in a appropriate way. The food should come out in timely manner, and yes you shouldn't wait to get your check cuz that won't help the ladder. That's what I experienced at Rialto today, the food is delicious, got the Smaoked dsalmon scrambler and eggs Benedict, both good. I would have them again, but yes I agree with the negative feedback about the service. It's a bit slow, the food takes a long time to come out and they maybe under staffed. If you don't mind the wait but do want to enjoy some good food them give them a try. read more

I remember coming here years ago and and thoroughly enjoying the eggs Benedict. I went back this week; it was the first time in years. The line was just as long as I remembered. Here's an improvement, they now have an indoor waiting area so you dont have to stand on the curb freezing, or just getting tired standing in the sun. A better explanation should be given when telling people to go in the hallway for a seated waiting area. We were not the only ones to walk hesitantly through the door that leads to the bathrooms. The server pointed us in that direction so quickly so we werent sure of what he was really saying LOL!! Did he want us to have a seat in the bathroom stall?? ‍ Anyhoo... we waited for about 25-30 min for a table for 2. It was just before 11am on a drizzly friday morning. Upon ordering the eggs benedict, i was promptly informed that they had sold out of the eggs benedict before 10am. And the house potatoes were sold out as well. Here's my beef: if you know that the eggs benedict and house potatoes are popular items, then you should tell ALL patrons who enter after they're sold out, that they ARE sold out. If I had known the eggs benedict were unavailable, I would not have waited the 25-30 minutes that i did. Right?? Doesn't that make sense to tell people?? So, i settled on the breakfast panini and my bf got the french toast. I cant eat spicy food, so i deleted the roasted aioli from the panini. The panini was def lacking in flavor. Pretty blah. Ugh. So my choice is spicy or bland? Booooo.... The french toast... what a misnomer. Granted, it was a French baguette. But, it wasnt dipped in an egg batter as is to be expected if it's called French toast. Isnt that the whole idea?! Whatever. $40 later and we wish we had gone somewhere else. read more

Horrible service today. Sad because usually really good... Took an hr to get our food, which was cold. Everyone got there food at different times and they didn't come ask us if we wanted coffee refills until we asked for one. Didn't eat my chilaquiles or potatoes and server didn't even ask why. read more

Food was good. Service was good. Felt a bit busy but I guess thats good for business. Love the staff. Prices are a bit high but its expected in today's economy. Above average food so I will most likely keep it as a breakfast option in the future. read more

Not sure why they don't update their hours on Yelp. Kind of disappointing when you make the drive there & walk up to their open store front then someone runs out to tell you that they're closed. Hours on Yelp says they close at 3:30pm. We arrived just before 2pm. We've dined here once before. The wait is long, especially during peak brunch hours. The food is decent, a little pricey but expected in DTF. Cute little spot but not sure if I'm gonna come back if they can't decide whether or not they're going to stay open like it says on Yelp, Google, & their website. read more

I like this place for its tasty breakfast items that are not exaggerated in ingredients and presentation. It is almost like a boutique or brunch heaven. Their smoked Salmon scramble is my frequent order and is occasionally complemented by the French toast. I have yet to try their Wiltshire omelet which I heard is their most popular item. read more

Fist let me say that the staff was really nice here. I love the atmosphere and the surrounding area was really nice. Unfortunately the food was not very good. I ordered the huevos rancheros and im sad to say that they were anything but that. The dish was basically two fried eggs sitting on two corn tortillas with some cheddar cheese sprinkled on top. On the side was a small portion of chopped tomatoes mixed with jalapeños or serrano Chili's and a small portion of black beans. My wife ordered the French toast and said it had a fair taste to it, but had a very small amount of strawberry sauce. The coffee was pretty good though. I would come here again because I believe you can't judge a place just based on a couple of dishes. read more

You definitely need to check this place out if you live in Fullerton or around this spot! George was great help as was everyone else. Come for breakfast or lunch, with plenty of outdoor seating you can bring your dog too! Thank you will be back! read more

If you want good service and good food do not come here. The pictures look great on Instagram but it's not worth the bad service. I got on the waiting list and after waiting the only two tables available were in the sun. I said no thank you and asked if I could sit on one of the tables further down. They said I could but they could not serve me . I then said well my son is hungry I'll order to go. I ordered the food to go while physically sitting down in one of the seats my intention was still to eat at the location. My order took long, the food was cold and they didn't put my condiments or utensils in the bag. Never coming here again. read more

Mmmm When you first walk in, i love the vibe in the restaurant! The place was packed with people enjoying their breakfast/brunch! I had to wait about 10 minutes. The place doesn't have comfy chairs. Although, it's busy the staffs are very friendly. It takes about good amount of 10minutes for the food to be served. The hashbrown is fresh. I loved my eggs benedict which ham was substituted to salmon instead of ham. Everything seemed to be fresh! You can't sit too long since the chair is uncomfortable and the music is way too loud. But the Food is GreaT!!! read more

This place is pretty small so it doesn't seatthat many people so expect to wait a bit during the weekend. Luckily, there are quite a few parking spots for everyone to park at. The food is kind of pricey, but that is expected for a cute little hipster coffeeshop located in downtown Fullerton. I got the French toast which was an interesting take on the french toast. It was two large slabs of baguette with cream sauces all over them. The cream sauces were absolutely amazing and the berries were so fresh and delicious. It didn't make me super full, and I didn't want to end with something so sweet so I got hasbrowns with it too. read more

Rialto Cafe - Baguette French toast. Wish it had more of that cream. A little too crunchy but good. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fullerton, California

Really great cafe! I stopped by with 5 other friends, and had to wait a little extra because of the larger party size. This is an exceptionally small place, so to avoid waiting long, get there early! Any place that serves breakfast all day, is doing great in my book! I shared the French Toast and the Rialto Rancheros. Both dishes were excellent and beautifully plated. I really enjoyed the food and the service was fantastic. This is a great little addition to the great Downtown Fullerton area, and has some amazing food options. Also, Rialto Cafe is a great place to have brunch with friends (with mimosas, of course!) I can't wait to come back! read more

Rialto Cafe offers indoor and outdoor seating. Great customer service and good food. The menu is simple and easy to read. The cafe is really cute and busy during breakfast and brunch hours. We had the wilshire with hash browns and sour dough and the french toast. Average prices and good portions. The wilshire was flavorful and filling. Well-made omelette. The french toast was less of what I expected although it clearly states on the menu that it is a french baguette. I was expecting something more like a french toast, you know, completely immersed in buttery cinnamon goodness. But it wasn't anything like that. It was simple and light, and not too sweet. It was good though don't get me wrong. Just not as buttery and fattening as I hoped it would be. But thats on me. This really is a great little cafe. read more

The service was good(: the waitress was sweet however the food was overpriced for something that literally made me have to puke. I got coffee with my sister and needed some protein before work, got the breakfast burrito because how could you possibly mess that up? As soon as I finished I had to RUN to the bathroom (mind you my tummy is usually a tank) but whatever was in there needed to get out IMMEDIATELY! And I felt like puking the rest of the morning and had to take medicine... not worth it read more

Small cafe with limited indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is small and not complex but offers something for everyone. The service was spotty but everyone was nice. We ordered the Rialto Rancheros (baguette with tomato spread topped with fried egg sprinkled with blue cheese, tomatoes, and sliced garlic) as well as The Wilshire Omelette (their version of a kitchen sink). Nothing too fancy but humble and tasty. Prices range from $9-14 dollars. They serve alcohol for those who want mimosas in the morning and cold brew for straight edge folks. Just keep in mind, the cold brew is not made in house and is bottled (Stumptown). It's decent brunch if you're looking for something familiar but slightly different. read more
