    W cafe has an all day breakfast and lunch menu. It is located in the Hoag medical office complex. At 8:15am, I was feeling angus beef burger and I ordered one... why not? It was ok. Beef Pattie was not seasoned and the veggies looked tired. I may have ordered the wrong item. Their hot sandwiches and breakfast items may have been a better choice. There is plenty of parking at this hour. Service is good. Casual. Please come and create your own adventure.

    Total waste of my time. I waited a total of 28 minutes for a bagel and cream cheese that I never got. Coffee was not hot. It was not at all very busy when I came in (0942) If I had known this was how they operate, I would have driven to different Cafe.

    Salmon salad

    Amazing service and great food! They have A variety of dishes and the owner is attentive and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place.

    Food is very good and the services is great and the ambiance you walk in listening to Frank Sinatra.

    Turkey Breast Sandwich Lunch

    Way overpriced for a cafeteria tasting food. The tables don't get cleaned as often. I only came here because I needed to eat and my next appointment wasn't until another hour and I didn't have a car with me.

    Hot pastrami on toasted ciabatta.
    Serrell L.

    Super pleasant and warm reception as soon as you walk in the door. I got the pastrami sandwich on a toasted ciabatta bread with cheddar cheese and a side mixed green salad. OMG!!! This pastrami is perfect, just the way I like it, grilled!!! Really cozy spot to sit in or outside. Under the nice umbrellas to block the sun and if cold they have the outdoor heaters. Better hurry!!! The hours are early 8-3:30 M-F and 8-2:30 Sat. This location is next door to the Hoag Urgent Care.

    Beets N Berry Blast

    My first time trying this cafe, cute and comfortable ambiance. I got the beets n berry blast and it was so refreshing! Service was fast and friendly. Will be back for more.

    Always Clean!

    Food is great! I work at Hoag and I come here often. I have yet to try something that was bad. Service is great, feels like family. Love the old school music it completes the vibe.

    I found this place through Yelp. Had good reviews thought to give it a try. Ordered Short Ribs Benedict with potatoes on the side. It was interesting because the meat wasn't shredded which I expected to be. Therefore, I just shredded it myself. Food was good. Everything on the menu looks appealing. Service was welcoming and enjoyed the quaint atmosphere. Kobe Bryant had visited their previous location in Newport Beach which I thought was cool to see a picture of him and the owner. So it does say a lot about a business when a celebrity keeps visiting.

Surprised to see breakfast all day options as well as parfait with granola on the menu. Fresh ingredients and reasonable pricing for a small regional chain. The salad was a good portion. Very happy with the faceplant vegetarian sandwich as a wrap, less carb heavy for dinner. Summer evening weather was pleasantly mild. Sat outside to let the kids enjoy the commons, with play structures and soft padding as well as trees with fairy lights, while the adults got to catch up! Option to order at the counter or online. Server brought our order to the table. Surprisingly mediocre craft breweries on the menu considering the abundance of local talent.

    Not been back since i was a young anteater. Best sandwiches if u didnt have a car back before…read moreUniCenter had any other places to eat besides Lees (now chickfila), INO, TacoBell, and Jack in the Crack. its weird how empty it is now, but given all the food places that sprung up around, kinda sad. Still low priced as ever. its like $2-4 more expensive now but damm for a decade thats such low climb. $8 for a damm delicious ooey gooey sandwich? hell fucking yes? '26 oops i never posted it. Swiss connection is now a whopping $10.5. highway robbery it is. But the bread is still unmatched for pillowy cheweyness (hot will get u a crisped exterior so always go for hot). Carrot n Daikons baguette would be my second for bread but their bread is thin flakey fall apart outside with a more airy pillowy interior. most important. do not say no to the mustard and whatever the other thing they ask if is ok to put in. the LeDIP experience is a whole deal ok. it's all or nothing. just like it should be in normal restaurants ok, like the shirt shoes and pants requirement? all or nothing. if you went to a restaurant without pants, you would not experience the experience as it was intended. take it all or leave empty handed ok? unless you're actually allergic to something. but like are u living if you miss out on the perfect combo of savory and cutting sourness? i acquired an allergy to shrimp and once a year i'll still boiling crab a lb of shrimp and just premedicate on Benadryl hoping i don't die. oh it's so good. god it itches so bad. ah so succulent. whole experience! hot french connection- can i eat this first please? oh my god i don't think i ever appreciated the soft pillowy softness of the baguette in my younger years. the outside crust is the thinnest crisp and yields immediately (unlike Lee's Trashwiches where the stale crust cuts the roof of your mouth). Simple sandwich but sometimes the best things are the simple things. Cold Swiss Connection - the only reason i get it cold is cuz this is my breakfast & lunch for the next day. so no point in melting it prematurely. i honestly can't decide between the two, so i just get both. the difference is Swiss cheese here vs the brie in the french. update-its like 10.5 now cry. and get it hot! i was wrong! it ooooozes Parking - shared with the whole center, plenty. Payment - cash, credit chip 5, or venmo? No Pay unfortunately. Credit chip wouldnt read my card either, took 3 tries, and u need to manually hold it down cuz its not secured so....not really contactless. '26 theyve modernized, apple pay now accepted so yayy.

    Food: This was one of my favorite spots to go to for lunch or to cater from during college!…read moreMendocino's sandwiches are amazing, especially their Not So Fried Chicken, Vegan Banh Mi, and Happy Hippie! I've heard the Peruvian Steak, Prosciutto, and Chicken are good too! My only feedback with the Happy Hippie is that there is slightly too much filling, so it falls when you are eating the sandwich. Each of their sandwiches comes with two halves and is filling and satisfying. They also use fresh, vibrant vegetables, and a store associate told me their bread is baked fresh every day! Service: The service here is half the reason I come! A lovely store associate will guide you when ordering, and they will bring the food right to you! When they bring the food, there are two napkins on the tray. If they see you carrying your tray after you are finished eating, they will also offer to take it for you! Although the sandwich prices are slightly premium, you are paying for their healthy ingredients and exceptional service! Ambiance: This restaurant is spacious with many tables on the inside and outside! Their bathrooms are also really clean and well kept! Please go here for a healthy, non-bloating meal when you're in the area!

    8/05/26 5:18 p.m. University Town Center…read more I decided to try the Peruvian Steak today without avocado. I usually order the Not So Fried Chicken, but I wanted to switch things up. I'd rate the Peruvian Steak an 8.5/10. The bread was perfectly toasted, the mustard added just the right amount of kick, and all of the flavors complemented each other well. It would have been a perfect 10/10 if one side of the bottom bun hadn't been completely soggy from the mustard spilling out of the sandwich. I ordered my sandwich to go, so if I had waited until I got home to eat it, I think the entire bottom of the sandwich would have been soggy. That was disappointing. For to-go orders, I think Mendocino Farms should automatically serve the mustard in a separate sauce container to help prevent this issue. My other qualm was with the pickup process. When I received the text that my order was ready, it read: "Your order at Mendocino Farms - 10 - UC Irvine is ready for pickup. Please proceed to the counter." Some restaurants have signs explaining whether customers should grab their to-go orders themselves or wait for a team member to assist them. I waited patiently at the counter for several minutes while a team member saw me standing there but didn't acknowledge me. After about five minutes, I finally asked, "Can I grab my order?" The process felt confusing and could have been communicated more clearly. Overall, I thought the sandwich was delicious and a great portion size. However, I think the to-go process could use some improvement. I ended up eating my sandwich in the restaurant because I could already see the bread becoming soggy when I picked it up, which wasn't part of my original plan.

I got there just as the order was predicted to be done, but I ended up waiting another 10 minutes, which was fine for me. It's a sparsely decorated sandwich spot, with a little bit of seating, but it's clear this is a grab-n-go type place. After picking up the sandwiches, I cut both in half and ate half of each. I can't really remember what I got, but that was kind of besides the point anyways. They offer a variety of breads, so I opted for dutch crunch and a regular french roll. The dutch crunch wasn't as good as others I've had from other notable sandwich places, but the french roll was great! I liked the construction of the sandwiches, as they were tightly wrapped and not over-stuffed. Good ratios and not too large as to not be able to wrap your mouth around it. But as for the content itself, I just wasn't blown away. It was perfectly normal, but I didn't feel anything beyond that. As a lunch place, I feel like it's a good option if you want a sandwich, but if you've got something closer to you that is marginally similar, I'd head there first.
