    French Toast - $10.25
    Harold S.

    This unassuming little highway diner turned out to be a wonderful find. I stopped in here on a Sunday morning while on a road trip through the desert. There were quite a few people there but I was still able to get immediate seating. I ordered the french toast which goes for $10.25 and thought it was some of the best I've ever had. I looked around and it looked like everything other people were having also looked very tempting. The service was friendly and attentive. I would definitely go back here again if in the area. I highly recommend.

    Waffle, eggs, potatoes, meats

    Absolutely delicious breakfast, the waffle is to die for, only place worth spending money on a waffle. Been several times and hope to go several more! Good people working too

    Bean, rice & vegetable fajitas burrito
    Kátia M.

    Drove back from Cal City and couldn't find anything my bf (who has tons of allergies and isn't vegan) and I (vegan with no allergies) could eat before we got here. I was prepared to build a meal of sides. The hashbrowns are made with oil and the beans aren't made using lard. No animal broth in the rice. Asked the waitress if I could get a bean & rice burrito with some fajita veggies made vegan. Also asked for a side of salsa. She was so patient answering my questions (she got tooooo much cardio running back to the kitchen bc of me, I feel so bad ) but the result was delicious, filling and beautiful. And so fairly priced! Bf and I left full and happy. So much nicer than visiting any chain or strictly takeout place. Didn't love that the tv was playing Fox News, though I did like that they had music playing and Fox News on mute. The staff were very nice. Very clean restrooms. Love the huge mirror in the women's room! (Tip: it's not at the sink; it's outside the stalls.) Appreciated that they had cash and non-cash pricing. Only wish they had more extensive hours! The world would benefit from their product and service.

    Breakfast with our Las Vegas son, Toby & he loves this restaurant & friendly people too!

    Food is good but biscuits and gravy were cold and the hash browns were a little burnt.

    Coffee lovers, this one's for you!…read more I've officially made it to both Trio Coffee House locations, and they've been consistently amazing every time. Today's order: a Spanish Latte + Banana Matcha, and they were absolutely incredible. Fast service, even with a packed café, cozy vibes, and drinks that actually live up to the hype. This is your sign to treat yourself. 10/10. Already thinking about my next visit.

    My sister-in-law had a pretty disappointing experience at this location today. In a community like…read morethe Antelope Valley, local support really matters, so it's always surprising when a business doesn't seem to value the people who keep it running. Apparently taking a moment to decide what you'd like to order is considered an inconvenience here. The cashier made a gesture implying she needed to hurry up, which felt unnecessarily dismissive especially when someone is simply trying to decide how they'd like to spend their hard-earned money. It's a shame, because local businesses thrive on positive interactions with their customers. Experiences like this make it much easier to understand why so many other coffee spots are opening throughout the AV and gaining loyal support. Needless to say, my family and I will be taking our coffee runs elsewhere moving forward. There are plenty of places in the AV that manage to serve great coffee and treat their customers with courtesy. San Fernando Coffee Co. OVER Trio Coffee House any day of the week.

I went and did something else to kill sometime lol. I figured, 3rd times a charm right? I came back around 10:10 and they were open! The place is so cute inside. There were bouquets and a little library. I didn't take any books because I didn't have any on me to trade. I was greeted right away. There's so many cute things to look at. I purchased a romper which fit me perfectly. I also got some squishy toys for the kiddos. I then headed to order drinks. I got the Night in Paris latte and a kids strawberry lemonade. I was given a discount and a stamp card. The girl was super nice and helpful when ordering. Every room is so nice. It's a great place to take pictures at. I loved the comfort and the decor. There was a tiny kids kitchenette that my daughter really liked playing at. Overall I had a really pleasant experience and if I'm ever in the area again, I'd love to try something else on the menu.

I waited 4 minutes to get order, and another 5 before I asked for a refund. i was on the clock and waited while the Barista chatted with a friend in line talking about meeting at a bar or something on Friday. Bu the time I waited 5 minutes after the order, the same people were still waiting for their drink. A couple that came in after me got there's before I did. 9:40 by the time a left with no coffee. No,"Someone will be right with you" No apology for the wait time. She offered me a coffee instead of the Americano I paid for, then I thought I paid via card, but I paid cash. The cashier couldn't tell on his end that I paid cash. $6.50. No customer awareness. I won't be back. I hate leaving bad reviews, but this crew was awful... Really bad look for those people. I wish them the best!

    Love The Modern Tea Room. The vegan food is delicious. I have loved everything we have ordered…read more They also have a "not so vegan" menu, which makes the place perfect to take any group. Everyone we bring her loves it. The place is small and always packed, but it moves pretty quickly. I love their long list of tea selections. I have tried a few, but my absolute favorite is the Icy Thai Chai. I get it with oat milk because I don't drink dairy and it is the bomb.com. I even get a second one to go after we are done eating. My favorite food to order is the jackfruit street tacos. They are small so we usually get something else and share both things with my boyfriend. Love the local artist art gallery as well.

It took about 30 minutes for someone to take our order, and our food didn't arrive until 11:20 AM. What made it more frustrating was that a group of six who were seated at the same time as us received their food much earlier and were already finished eating before we even got ours. During the wait, I also ordered a coffee that never came -- it seemed like it was simply forgotten. I understand Sundays can be busy, but the long wait and lack of attention really took away from the experience. Hoping this was just an off day.
