Came here for a birthday brunch with my friend, and she had been here before, so I let her take the lead on what to order. We shared the salad and the chilaquiles, and both were absolutely delicious! The salad was actually my favorite--the capers added so much flavor and made it really memorable. For drinks, we ordered the passion fruit cocktail and a Bloody Mary. The passion fruit cocktail was definitely more my vibe, but the Bloody Mary was also really good. We asked for it extra spicy, and it had the perfect kick. The restaurant itself is super cute, and the service was so friendly and welcoming. Seating is mainly outside. Even though there was shade, it was still pretty hot, so I ended up sweating throughout brunch. Other than that, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu!

We've become regulars here, and came back for the new menu. Once again, our favorite server, Amanda, gave us great suggestions and took excellent care of us! I was SO impressed that she remembered our names, our favorite cocktails, and put in our order for the Brazilian Cheese Bread that we love almost as soon as she saw us. We were disappointed that they were out of our favorite Potstickers appetizer, hopefully they will come back in the fall. We tried the new Shrimp Linguine dish, and she helped us by recognizing that it might be a little too spicy for our taste, so she put it in with the request to limit the spicy oil. She really is the best! We ate everything before we could get a photo, we will try to remember next time, lol!

This is the second location of this restaurant that I have been to. The first is Long Beach and I really liked the restaurant so much and I did write a review. This new location is located in the River St., San Juan Capistrano area. This river Street is such a nice venue . It feels very carefree and open with many shops and restaurants and many open areas with children happily playing. I came for lunch and the brunch menu is being served. I ordered a delicious Aji salad with fresh greens and homemade miso dressing. Once you pay for your food, your food comes out very quickly. The outdoor shaded patio is very pleasant and it also features peters for evening time. It was a very pleasant lunch with very high-quality food.

Great brunch spot located in a small shopping center!Service and food were amazing. My grilled cheese was super cheesy and grilled to perfection.

Vanilla Latte -- really good but I didn't like how my cup warped. The micro plastics leeched into my drink is not worth the continuous sipping :s also why I wanted an iced drink so I wouldn't have that happen but next time maybe time? The 3.5 is really because of the cup situation My husband said the service was good no complaints

$18 for a breakfast sandwich ... literally just a small sandwich with no sides or salad. Flavor is good but the price is just too crazy. You will still be hungry after this. The breakfast short rib chilaquiles is a larger, more filling portion. Kids chicken tender is two pieces with small side of fried. Okay food but not the best value.

Was just so impressed by these COFFEE ICE CUBES in my nitro brew. It's the first time I've ever seen a coffee shop do that. I just had to share.

The avocado toast is everything! They actually put everything bagel seasoning on top and makes it slightly crunchy and delicious with the radishes, perfectly seasoned avocado . The Chilaquiles is also very good .. as well as their delicious lattes. This place was packed today very dog friendly. They do have blankets for your laps if you get chilly. Their system is you order and then you sit down we did the opposite. We grabbed a table and then we ordered. It seems to be the perfect way to do it.

Service was great staff was friendly but pretty let down considering it's a Monday morning and not many people. My friend and I ordered the same breakfast sandwich. Our food tasted cold and the brioche bun wasn't soft it tasted like everything had been previously cooked and been sitting for awhile. $17 for a cold breakfast sandwich that's super small and comes with no sides. The coffee good but $1.50 for milk sub?

This review is a hard one to make because there is some good...yet not enough good to make it higher than a 3 star rating and comes from it being just an odd experience. 1st the Good. Millionaire's bacon is amazing. Worth the $11 - thick cut and tender, it's a must try. Wait, that's about it that I can remember. Everything else was bleh. THE BLEH: -the Menu - they have multiple locations and the website has only one version of the menu but does not indicate which location it is referring to. Unknowingly, when we tried ordering some food from the website version of the menu, the order taker informed us that they don't serve it (talking about the bread pudding shown online). -Staff Knowledge - this bread pudding that we ordered...well it actually WAS available on the backside of the in house menu...so the staff didn't know they serve that? Also, when we pointed it out to her on the in store menu, she then changed her answer to "oh we ran out of that". -Availability - we went for Sunday brunch...and they told us that 4 of the things we tried to order were out of stock. -Seating format - when you walk in, your order and pay and then seat yourself. I noticed that there was a jug with water and glasses next to it so I assumed I would be allowed to serve myself a glass of water and take it to my table. Nope. I was informed (in a very dry, awkward way) by one of the staff that I shouldn't be using that and there is water at our table. It was a very weird interaction. -Food preparation and delivery: When the food arrived (going back to staff knowledge), our orders were not what we expected. Many of the items on the menu have bolded add ons underneath and apparently when you order one of the add ons, it comes out with your food but on a separate plate and not prepared in the dish as you would expect. For example: we ordered an omelette and added Portuguese sausage on. Since it's an omelette, you would expect the sausage to be mixed in, right? wrong - it comes on the side, uncut...just sitting there...so odd Also "famous scrambled eggs" were very wet and runny...is that why they're famous? The two pieces of bread that came with it were also hard as rocks so that was slightly unpleasant. Finally, the fingerling potatoes that came with it were ultra bland. -Outside seating - they have staff wandering around ready to fill water and clear plates which is nice but how are we supposed to tip them if we already paid before we sat down. I am just confused about this aspect. Do I want to go back? Not really....

This is a cute little cafe in a fun and unique shopping center. The ambiance is relaxed with walk up ordering and then table service. I ordered my daughter the unicorn toast and while she thought it was cute, she didn't really like the taste and ate my omelette instead. I thought it was good though! I ordered the classic omelette which was decent, but for me the star was the roasted potatoes! My only issue was the baguette that came with it was so hard it was inedible. I also had a Spanish latte and it was yummy. I loved that the ice was frozen coffee which was flavorful and helped not to water down my beverage. There's a nice grassy area for kids to play so my daughter got some wiggles out after breakfast.

I'd never been to Ubuntu before and my friend and I decided to stop by for a bite, while shopping. I was so impressed. At first I thought it was just a cute coffee shop, and then come to find out, they have a whole, delicious menu. They have an indoor space and super cute outdoor space too - tons of seating areas! I loved all the decor and florals! I especially love that they have blankets on the patio for breezy nights. That is so thoughtful. The food we ordered was plated with care and didn't just look visually appealing, it tasted so amazing as well. The grilled zucchini came with this delicious pistachio cream spread that was bursting with flavor. The cheese board had a fantastic selection and the goat cheese balls with apple slices and hot honey were a dream. Only thing I'd add would be a lot more bread! Our service was fantastic too! I'm coming back soon for sure!

Service was horrible This is my first time I give a one star. I came excited to try their ice coffee and wine!! I got attitude and rude service. Sadly to say he is female Hispanic. Her coworkers were friendly and polity. Girl if you do not care for customer service then you are at the wrong place!
