This must be the place!! We found an amazing brunch spot and it was AMAZING! The service was top notch with Hector and Gonzalo! WOW these two and their staff nailed it! They were polite and professional and made sure we had everything we needed at all times!! Ambiance was great we sat relaxed and ate our delicious food!! The breakfast Sandwhich was soooo good! Pancakes were amazing with their home made strawberries and cream topping!! If that's not enough to wet your whistle just thrown in the home made banana puree matcha latte!!! We will be back and thank you for a great dinning experience!! read more

Small little dine in restaurant; cute and cozy. We ordered to go and there was a seating area to wait in. Banana Cloud iced latte- a sweet, delicious and creamy drink! Once the cold foam melts with the coffee, you really get that banana taste. Swirls of cinnamon and subtle maple taste. Wish the cold foam was a little thicker in consistency. French toast with berries and cream- comes with condensed milk, syrup and butter. The condiments make the French toast. Without the dressings, the bread is a little plain. The bread is soft and fluffy inside. The edges have a little caramelized sugar. Love the thick cut of the bread. Breakfast sandwich- Good average sandwich. It was good but nothing special about it. Would've preferred it came with cheese. Would come back for the coffee and SUPER friendly staff! A little pricey ($30- 1 coffee, half order of French toast and breakfast sandwich). read more

Was looking for a coffee place next to my work and came across Strange Brews. Walked in and was immediately greeted by the friendly barista's. It was early on a Saturday morning, so thankfully, there was only one person in front of me, but they have lots of seating if you want to sit down and eat. I ordered the banana cloud. It was so tasty love the banana chunks, and the banana chip on top was a nice touch. So happy to have a good at coffee place near work for when I need that extra caffeine. They also have a point system so that you can get discount discounts on your next drink. read more

Cute cafe in a strip mall. Order the AM burger with home fries. The burger had a good sized patty and the egg was perfectly over med. When you bit the burger, the yoke was soft but not runny. Good seasoning. The bacon was that nice thick bacon where you actually taste it. Home fries were delicious too The matcha lattes hit the spot. I ordered the banana matcha with oat milk. The taste was really good and banana flavored but over powering. The matchata was matcha mixed with horchata which my dtr enjoyed. You can taste the cinnamon in it Overall, a bit pricey but might return. I just wish the burger came with a side and not as an extra charge. read more

This is a little more than 1 week old review. In term of food and drink, I would give this a 3.5 stars, but the cashier was really nice so it round up to 4. At this place, you ordered at the counter first then choose an option to dine in or togo. We opt for dine in as they have a huge area for dine in. Very minimal decor, but they have like an arcade game at a corner. We ordered a sandwich and the breakfast taco. The sandwich is huge but mainly filled with spinach. The breakfast taco was delicious in term of flavor although the meat was a little chewy. Drink was average. The banana matcha has strong matcha but lack of banana. The other drink was supposed to be the recommendation but it was ok with too much cinnamon. Overall, a good place for family breakfast as it has variety of selection to choose. read more

Cute place. Small ish and not decorated the cutest, it's simple, but they had no wait which is what we were looking for. You order at the front and they bring you your food. Banana cream latte - very good but very sweet!! I had to add so much ice just to drink it. Breakfast tacos - really yummy! Came with two salsas , neither of which very flavorful or spicy but still added a needed sauce. French toast - moist but nothing special. Really went here hoping to try their huge stuffed French toast from the previous photos but I guess they dont have that anymore :( read more

Stopped by one afternoon and was pleasantly surprised. This place is tucked away in a plaza and definitely feels like one of those hidden gem spots you wouldn't expect until you walk inside. The space itself is very open and comfortable, and the staff were super friendly and helpful with recommendations. We ended up trying the Breakfast Tacos, Chilaquiles, and two coffees; the Banana Cloud and Maple Matt. First off, the coffees were incredible. Easily the highlight of the visit. Both drinks were super flavorful and well balanced. Definitely worth ordering if you're coming here. The food was also really good overall. The portions were generous and everything had great flavor. My only small note would be the chilaquiles, I personally prefer them a little crunchier, and these leaned slightly on the softer side because of the sauce. Still very tasty, just something to keep in mind if you're big on texture like I am. The breakfast tacos were great and definitely hit the spot. Overall this is a great place to stop by if you're in the area and want a solid breakfast bite with some excellent coffee! read more

Prior location of the sunrise cafe. They said they have been open for about 6 months and we decided to try it out. Get the chilaquiles, we got it with carne asada and half red and half green salsa. The chips were crispy and the meat portions generous. We also ordered the sausage omelette with home fries and also the portion of sausage was also generous. The ice coffee with blueberry cold foam was also top notch . We legit cleared out plates and were debating if we could eat another order of the chilaquiles Service was also good and everyone seemed friendly. We made a good choice and will definitely be coming back. read more

Great spot for breakfast with a nice variety of fun drinks to choose from. You order at the counter and get a number, then pick a place to sit where they serve you. We ordered their banana iced latte which was really good and some breakfast foods - breakfast burrito and egg white veggie omelette. I liked that they offer soy chorizo! We will be back to try more of their food. read more

‼7:30am Good Coffee & Filipino Breakfast‼ Woah! Strange Brews Cafe is definitely coming 2026 with new things and loving it! Don't worry, they still got all the classic items we adore but they added Filipino Breakfast like Longanisa or Tocino, Yolky Egg over Rice and a LONGANISA Burger. But don't worry Strange is still serving up their amazing Breakfast Chorizo Tacos. Strange is always about introducing new things and new flavors. Still the same great guys behind the counter. read more

First time here. Recommend by my friend. The food we ordered was great, but we (I) never got a coffee refill. My friend ordered a specialty coffee, so understand hers was probably not refillable. Our server was very nice & pleasant and we both were given a sample of one of one of their new coffee flavors. Forgot the name, but it was very sweet and tasted like honey. I had the bacon breakfast burrito and took half to go. It was delicious. My friend got the stuffed waffle. A very unique concept to a full breakfast. She was only able to eat one quarter, but it was also delicious. By the time we overstayed our welcome, the restaurant that's at the end of a mini mall, was packed. You wouldn't know it was here... unless someone told you. Hidden gem. read more

I came inbecause it has been a while. I work so during the week it is had place to visit. I was so disappointed in the changes that the owner has made. They are no longer a retro fun coffee brunch spot. It is now a boring coffee place with a few over priced items. The best stuff from their menu is gone. The cool retro vibe, GONE! The cool clay authentic vups to serve hot coffees are gone too. The service was nice however. Unfortunately this is my last time visiting. Bummer I read more

We decided to try this new spot after seeing photos and reviews online, but unfortunately the experience didn't match the expectations. It's no longer really a sit-down restaurant and feels more like an order-and-seat-yourself setup, which wasn't clearly reflected online. The menu also seemed very different from what was advertised, with limited options and unclear drink sizing/pricing that increased the total unexpectedly. The service was just okay. The cashier came across annoyed when we asked questions, almost like we should've already known the answers. We also noticed a younger employee bringing in family members, cutting ahead of other customers, seating them personally, and taking their order while everyone else waited. On top of that, a customer in a wheelchair was placed in a very tight corner without a proper accessible seating area, which was honestly disappointing to see. The wait time was also long considering the restaurant wasn't extremely busy. We waited close to 30 minutes for two plates while still waiting on the rest of the order. As for the food, it looked promising but lacked flavor. The pesado Burrito especially was disappointing -- mostly onions, dry carne asada, and missing the tots that were supposed to come with it. Overall, the food felt very bland and under-seasoned. I can see the vision behind the restaurant, and the place has potential, but the lack of efficiency, organization, flavor, and customer care didn't match the price point or expectations. read more

Stopped by Strange Cafe for brunch and the vibe inside feels like your typical mom and pop spot with a little retro twist. Ordered the hot chocolate, Niko's am Smashie, and the stuffed waffle. The hot chocolate tasted good no complaints, breakfast burger was decent, the tots on the side were crispy which made the meal better. The stuffed waffle looked great, but flavor wise it was just okay. Our waitress was super nice, kept checking in, which was good. Overall for the price, food quality and service it's not bad.

I was looking for a spot with some good avocado toast in OC awhile ago (yes this is a late post) and found this little gem. I went Sunday morning and there was only one couple there other than myself. Many seats, and honestly this place should be packed, because the food looks like it would all be good and the vibe was cool. It had posters and a little mini arcade. I ordered their avocado toast and it came with pickled onions which i love on avocado toast. There was also a fried egg on top. Honestly one of the best avocado toast I had. I also got this ice cafe de olla drink. I was able to get a refill which I liked, but it is a little water down. Overall I would come back for that avocado toast, but will probably try another coffee drink. I also want to try other things they have like their Chilanquiles. Service was also great, which is a plus at any restaurant I go. I forgot the girls name, but I believe she was Filipino Samoan. read more

I ordered a Cranmelon Drink, and Omelet with Toast and Hashbrowns Keep in mind this review/score, along with all my others, are solely based off of comparison to other places within this price range. That being said let's continue - The Cranmelon Drink was very tasty, they make their own syrup in house so it's a unique spin on a soda which I really liked. I would recommend to try any of the flavors. The Omlete plate overall was pretty comparable to most places, but this one takes an edge because of the size. The Hashbrowns were definitely above average, they were warm and had a thicker consistency which I personally like. If you're into thinner strips and crunchy Hashbrowns then you wouldn't care for these. The Sourdough toast was good, nothing really unique about the bread; HOWEVER, the jam they provide with it was very very good. I would definitely order this again just for that. Overall this is definitely a place to stop at if you want a simple breakfast place with a cool unique ambiance to it. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I would recommend to give it a try. read more

Super intrigued by the name of the place, we finally got a chance to visit the Strange Cafe When you step inside, you'll immediately feel welcomed by the cozy atmosphere of a retro cafe/diner. The food and drink menu were very unique and offered many specialty options including a morning smashburger and Cafe de Olla (traditional Mexican coffee from a clay mug!). While we waited for food, we checked out the super cute arcade in the corner and just soaked in the chill, laid-back vibes And once the food came out, we absolutely devoured everything Chila-Killas was super tasty! Stuffed Waffles made for the perfect sweet ending to our meal. The top-tier service and immaculate vibes made for a great breakfast experience. Please stop by Strange Cafe if you're ever in the area! read more

Strange Cafe is a vibe. I dig it. You know it's a good sign when Friends is playing on the TV in the main dining area. There's also a cute mini arcade with retro games Staff is friendly and service was great. So many fun coffee and food items to choose from, it was hard to decide. I settled on an iced Spanish latte with almond milk and it did not disappoint. So many savory stuffed waffles that I wanted to try, but I'm also a basic breakfast gal so I went with the buttermilk pancakes combo and as simple as it was, it slapped. Bacon cooked to a crisp, just as I like it. Eggs over easy and scrumptious. Hashbrowns cooked perfectly. Fluffy, buttery pancakes that I got Sweetella style and it was delicious. The sausage breakfast burrito was also great. Portions are normal-sized, where you don't feel over stuffed. I appreciate that. Definitely coming back to try more from The Strange Cafe. read more

Had a pretty good first experience at Strange. This is the type of place where you order at the counter as soon as you walk in and then find a seat if you're dining in. It was a Sunday morning so it was on the busier side, but we were just dropping in for a quick coffee to-go so that wasn't a problem at all. Our order was up quickly and both of our drinks were delicious! I really liked that the coffee was smooth and not too bitter or overly sweet- but still sweet enough to taste like a treat! I'm looking forward to stopping by for breakfast next time we're around! read more

This location has switched hands so many times I didn't realize a new breakfast joint had taken over. I think this used to be Spencer's Bistro, then some Korean restaurant, and now this. The decor and vibe of this place alone is enough to bring me back. It has a great 70s hippie decor. It's much more spacious than how it looks from outside. There's even a little corner with classic video games. Great to kill some time while you're waiting for your food. Will need to try some more food to give a more accurate rating but will give it four stars for now. Tres Amigos (three tacos) were quite good. They were served on small corn tortillas with chorizo, eggs, pickled onions, cheese, chipotle sauce, and cilantro. Thick Brioche French Toast Combo was quite massive. Came with choice of bacon or sausage, eggs, and hash browns. read more

The other day me and my wife came to Strange Brewed Coffee because a friend had recommended the drinks and food. Upon arriving, there was a homeless lady inside the restaurant approaching customers and asking for money. She approached me directly, and the staff just looked at me without doing anything about it. It definitely made the experience uncomfortable. The coffee itself was actually good, and because of that we decided to give the place another chance another day. We drove down there again around 7:30 AM because everywhere online says they open at that time. When we got to the storefront, the sign on the door said 8:00 AM instead, which was really inconvenient considering we drove a long way and gas prices aren't exactly cheap nowadays. The reason for my 2-star review is not because of the drinks, but because of the inconvenience and overall experience both times we tried giving this place a chance read more

The customer service here was great! It really felt like every need I had was met even before I spoke sometimes haha. Solid 10/10 there. The restaurant was clean and everything looked very orderly and organized. The food was good! The portions were big and it was worth the price. Some things needed more seasoning and whatnot and the presentation left a bit to be desired. The concept of the restaurant seems cool but is rarely implemented within the food itself other than having a title attempting to attach said theme to it. Cool place but left a bit to be desired. Definitely worth checking out though if you're in the area and in the mood for a nice place with a calm vibe read more

Service was great was greater as soon as we entered. I owed a friend a lunch and he chose this spot. I'm not a breakfast person I do t really like much breakfast food and 90% of menu is breakfast themed. I found one of the only dishes that didn't have egg. My grilled chicken sandwich was great had great flavor tears were nicely fried. My friend ordered the am smashie burger which he loved. The vibe is cool retro ish with some arcade games free sample also got a free sample of cafe de holla. If you are a breakfast fan or enjoy a runny egg in your burger this is your spot. As for me I will wait until they expand their menu to something more lunch friendly. Oh also ask for some jalapeños really adds a nice kick to sando. read more
