    Club sandwich and fries.
    Martie L.

    I was looking for a sandwich place, and found this one on YELP. I ordered the Club Sandwich to go, and the food certainly didn't disappoint! The portion was more than generous, and the price-$16.95- was incredibly reasonable. The fries were done exactly to my liking, crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The young man who took my order, on the other hand, could not have been less interested in being there. His affect and lack of communication reminded me of my 13 year old son, whose responses consisted of grunts and one word answers. There was a pleasant woman sweeping up, she smiled at me, and when I left she wished me a good day. Definitely go for the food, but don't expect much from the service.

    Surfin' Donuts certainly has the reputation for being one of the best breakfast spots in town for good reason - they simply excel at everything they do. You really can't go wrong with any donut or burrito, as they're absolutely solid. Prices have gone up through time and it's admittedly more expensive than its competitors, but you're getting quality and value. I unfortunately recently had a subpar experience when I ordered a corned beef burrito one breakfast morning. The order took considerably long, and I'll admit they're a bit on the slow side in general when it comes to this, but it was unfortunate that it was nearly thirty minutes before I got my burrito and I was on a time crunch. Again, that's on me. What was disheartening was seeing a number of people who ordered after me get their burritos first, some quite considerably quickly, but I also get that the more standard breakfast orders are probably more prepped to go and can be whipped out much quicker. When I got the burrito, it was so floppy and had no structural integrity, which was disappointing. I normally like it to be a handheld meal, but it ended up being an open-faced breakfast on tortilla, and I didn't have nearly enough salsa to wash it down. It was certainly delicious, but I was pretty soured. I'll be back for sure, but I'll say this wasn't a great experience. TIP: The doughrito is always a fun option, check it out, it's as glorious as you would expect it to be.

    Only a few left. Great setup and portions

    I've got this place to thank for making me look good for a bday delivery during COVID that turned on a family friend (and my pastor) to this place. He has now referred many people to here for the amazing breakfast burritos (green chile, meat lovers and sausage) and we even had them supply 3 types of burritos and an assortment of donuts for our volunteer meeting today in Irvine near Spectrum. You've just garnered many more new fans!

    Sausage Breakfast Sandwich
    Rob G.

    Had the sausage breakfast sandwich. I selected the sourdough but got the croissant so maybe they were out of sourdough. Idk. The sandwich was delicious though. I'll def order from here again. Very good!

    This is a meat lovers omlette with added steak!

    Amazing brekfast omlettes and burritos!!! They even have brekfast quesadillas!!!!! This place has everything!!

    I was just in there and there was a little wait. Jalisa(not sure how to spell it, sorry!) was very apologetic and made everything right. She was running around so busy, and she still made time to make sure I was happy. Not only was it the best breakfast burrito I've ever had, but the customer service I got from Jalisa was top notch. Thank you Jalisa! Because of you I will be back often. Thank you again Jalisa

    Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Croissant Sandwich
    Kelsey H.

    This was my 2nd time here loved everything.Your welcomed by the warm smiles of the staff and acknowledged. It was a chill vibe and have a tv with tables to eat if eating in. I ordered a bacon,egg, and cheese croissant with 6 donut holes. I took it to go and got my donut holes first then my croissant sandwich came out like 10-15min after. They're busy in the morning so if you don't have too much time order ahead. They're also on door dash as well. Donut holes are fresh like their donuts and the croissant sandwich hit the spot! I will definitely be back to try other food on the menu and their coffee!

    Table where a kid sold Asian Trinkets in dining Room. Why?
    Peter T.

    I'm surprised that this place is still rated as high as it is. Came here on Mother's Day to get a quick breakfast. You can usually tell when a restaurant is on the decline when they start storing kitchen equipment in the dining room. I'm also for teaching kids the entrepreneurial spirit but allowing them to set up a table to sell trinkets in the dining room is so tacky. Compared with a few years ago this place is really run down. At least they changed out the broken chairs and tables. Too bad as the food is pretty good. Seems as most of the other customers also have the same opinion as they all were getting to go items.

    Egg, bacon and sausage burrito.
    Theresa H.

    My breakfast burrito was huge, delicious, tasty!!! Omg! We all ordered burritos and loved them. The green salsa verde was excellent on the side also. They were delivered to the house nice and hot. My daughter had their breakfast sandwich that she loved also. An egg, bacon and cheese! They are nice generous portions too. Great job!!!!!

    Bacon Breakfast Burrito
    Rob M.

    Wow got the Bacon, breakfast burrito good size for the money tortilla is not too thick. The kid that took my order was super nice. Took about 10 minutes to get my food but well worth it. small clean and nice place with tables. did not expect for a donut place to have that size of menu for made it order food. For sure I'm going back.

That kind of thing goes a long way, especially when you're trying to decide between six things that all look amazing in the case.

Aside from the obvious plus of being dog-friendly, there's a lot of reasons to like this spot. The bottomless hot coffee or iced tea depending on the day, and the frequent special offers - including free pancake flights and / or BOGO entree deals - when you register a phone number for rewards are noteworthy. The food is also great quality, with lots of healthy (the Garden Harvest Omelette is a favorite) and slightly more calorific (all of the "Bennys") options. Sadly they've at least temporarily lost their best menu item, a Habanero Pork Belly Benny that was so much a default for me that I didn't even need to see a menu before ordering. Hopefully the Bacon Jam famine is short and not recurring. The last great reason to recommend Snooze is the service. Not only are the staff super friendly and professional - especially Cailyn and Joe who are great - but they also work very well as a team during service and it really shows. It's always a pleasure to see restaurants where servers don't just handle their own sections but also help colleagues, as the wait times for food and for drink refills are less and the overall vibe of the place is way more chill.

We originally found it through Yelp and saw people raving about the homemade food and it absolutely lived up to the reviews. I ordered the Denver omelet and it was excellent. The eggs were perfectly airy and creamy without being runny. The flavor was simple but spot on and the avocado paired really well with it. Nothing felt off or overdone. We also tried a few other dishes at the table. The chilaquiles were fantastic. The tortilla chips had a great crunch and were not soggy at all. Even though they looked heavily sauced in pictures the ratio was actually perfect. Enough salsa for flavor while still keeping the chips crispy. The salsa itself was very good and the egg on top was perfectly runny and yolky which was a big plus. The version with added cheese was also great. Service really stood out. One of our friends asked for no cheese on their chilaquiles and it accidentally came out with cheese. The staff handled it so kindly. They took it back immediately and as an apology one of the owners or cooks came out personally and brought us complimentary pancakes. That small gesture really showed how much they care. The owners were incredibly sweet and kept checking in asking if everything was good and sharing how much care and time they put into making everything homemade. You could genuinely feel that passion. Huge props to Forest Cafe. I would absolutely recommend it. A great little brunch and breakfast spot and definitely a place we will be coming back to.
