    If I only I lived closer to here & this would my go-to breakfast spot. The food tasted fresh. The ribeye butchered in house and eggs from a specific farm. Really nice service even if it does get really busy so make sure you come earlier in the morning. Lots of space inside and outside seating as well. Ribeye Steak and eggs were so delicious. The steak was hella tender and held so much flavor. Pancakes had crispy edges but super soft in the middle. Plenty of parking in the shopping center it's in. Service 4.5/5 Food 5/5

    I'm trying to write an update to our previous experience. I think the special thing about this place is the small mom/pop feel on this place. I found out Amber, who is one of our favorite servers has been here for 30+ years. It's no wonder why this place is always buzzing with return customers. I personally love their pancakes and I'm not a pancake type of girl, and their sausage! I need to know what type of sausage this is. Outright delicious! This is a redeeming post Uncle Pete. We appreciate you guys making it right for us to return. Thank you.

    Very good experience. Came semi close to closing and the atmosphere was relaxing on a Saturday evening. The cage gave me a very anime cafe feel. I was here with my husband and we both really l iked it! We shared chili cheese fries and we each got meals. Will post pictures. Overall great spot to check out if in the area. Honestly was our backup spot but turned out so so good!

    Stopped in for my first time today for breakfast, and I would say the best part of the meal was the service, the food wasn't bad by any means, but it was far from memorable. It's located in a small shopping center with plenty of free parking right out front. They have indoor and outdoor seating options and as mentioned our server was extremely polite and attentive, and she really went above and beyond. All of our items came out pretty fast as well. Inside is fairly large, larger than it looks from the outside, so it can host many different sized groups. I tried to order the Cinnamon Roll because it is on the menu, but they did not have that available so I went with the Bread Pudding to start and felt it was OK, it wasn't like a traditional, southern bread pudding, it was more of a moist cake kind of style. It wasn't bad, but I would not recommend it. For my entrée, I chose the Chorizo Skillet and thought it was pretty nice, but it really lacked on the chorizo part. They could've added a lot more meat and less potato. Overall, it would be a nice option if you are in the area but it isn't my fav of the Westminster breakfast options.

    Belgian waffle with bananas and whipped cream

    Couldn't resist ordering their Belgian waffle with bananas and whipped cream the service was very good and food came out quickly. And their coffee was amazing as well. Very fresh. Oh my gosh and I am just in love with their ranch! My husband got fries and I nearly ate half because of that ranch lol it's homemade and you can taste that it is! I decided to eat outside and I'm so glad I did because I mean just look at my view can't wait to go back!

    Country fried steak and eggs
    John T.

    This place was nearly full by the time I ended by meal. Parking - Easy Ordered Country fried steak and eggs 4/5 Eggs were cooked perfect to a scramble. Toast was buttered perfectly. Gravy very flavorful and not your typical one that most places flock to. Had good texture. Home potatoes were mid. Steak was okay size, but the batter could use some work. Definitely needs more coating to it. Service - staff were attentive and genuine. Output time - Less than five minute upon ordering. Apparently no clam chowder on Sundays.

    We love a good dinner! Service here is outstanding. My coffee mug was never empty. Cordial attention throughout. Food was good. Liked the chicken fried steak. The onion rings were crisp. Eggs Benedict were a little on the over done side for our liking.

    Consistently good service and good food - the hash browns are to die for. Grandson LOVED the chicken fried steak and I like the Popeye Omelet so we were both pleased to be here

    The butter and syrup couldn't save this from being the driest French Toast of all time
    Joseph M.

    Find a different diner... The french toast tasted like plain bread and was dry as hell. The scrambled eggs were even drier. The orange juice was bitter and was poor in taste. They have to find better oranges. The huevos rancheros was okay, at best. Nothing to write home about, needed more flavor. The server was nice enough I suppose, albeit a bit clumsy spilling water all over the table. The ambiance was fine. Overall really disappointed with this breakfast. Even a subpar meal I can eat when I'm really hungry. I was starving and couldn't help but sit and stare at this bland food before getting out of there with plans to write this review and never return. The food also had the nerve to be $50 when it was all said and done. Avoid like the plague.

    Is the chili supposed to be vinegary? It's nice and thick and spicy and all, and has the perfect texture and thickness, but I've never tasted chili with a bit of a vinegar profile. Still delicious--just a bit different. :)

If you're local or traveling, I highly recommend the Black Mango Tea (iced with no little to no additives, as it came naturally was my preference). Anyway, I already had my morning cup of coffee and didn't expect to stop by this spot so opted for the tea. Nonetheless, the service is great (always be patient in mornings) don't talk until someone's had their caffeine , etc. Be sure to always follow your local coffee shop etiquette because one of a few locale Cortado Coffee Shoppes in Garden Grove, CA. is what I recommend with 4.8 stars. I'm never a 4.0 student so it's not fair to use a standard 5.0 in ratings because we are not perfect, myself included. All love to Cortado Coffee and stop by for coffee, tea, or a croissant on your way in or out of Disneyland area/O Orange County California area.

I like this location more than others because of the bigger parking lot, more seating options (including an upstairs area and outdoor seating), and I've also received better service here compared to other locations. The place is simply decorated, and it honestly is a solid spot if you're looking to crank out some work or meet with colleagues/friends. It does get pretty crowded so it's better to get an early head start if you can, especially on the weekends. In terms of their drinks, my favorite is the blueberry lavender matcha latte. It's on the sweeter side and has a floral aftertaste, but the flavors mix really well together. I typically get their matcha drinks or teas because I'm not a fan of coffee, but my friends that are coffee fiends are fans of the various coffee drinks here. Compared to other cafes, I feel like the cost of the drinks is standard, but the prepared food and pastries are on the steeper side.

The location has plenty of parking and plenty of seating. There is an outdoor patio, and inside there is a first floor seating area, and a second floor seating area. The interior had high ceilings and modern practical decor. Staff will take your order at the cashier, but they also have a kiosk if you want to avoid human interaction. I was here for a few hours, so I started off with a hot beverage since I saw that they have mug service. I had the hot Churro Latte ($8.15/large) and I was warned it's a bit sweet so staff suggested that I get it less sweet. I appreciated the gesture but maybe that's why I didn't taste too much of the churro flavor. It tasted like a good regular latte but maybe they held back on the caramel and cinnamon to the point I couldn't detect it. Seating is first come first serve. It was actually really busy and difficult to find an ideal spot. Since I was alone I sat at a high top ledge, strategically near an outlet. From what I saw, they had a really good amount of outlets in the indoor seating area. Later on I went back and ordered an iced Blueberry Lavender Matcha with Cold Foam ($9.25/large) and a Deluxe Avocado Toast ($15) which comes with egg, bacon, and herb oil. I like that this location serves the avocado toast with a knife and fork cause it was much needed. It was a bit on the wet side. Maybe I should ask for light herb oil next time. For how much this avocado toast cost, I would have liked more avocado. The avocado was more of a spread, not whole slices of avocado. Still good, just an observation. The blueberry lavender matcha was okay. I could taste the lavender but it was overpowering the matcha and the blueberry was hard to detect at all. Honestly the location and plentiful seatings is what stood out most from this experience. I would consider coming back since I know their products are good from trying their other locations but I wouldn't get the drinks I ordered this time. For how expensive coming here was, I wish I was a little more satisfied.
