Out in Chino over the weekend with my wife, daughter and her girlfriend and they picked the spot. Nice ambiance friendly staff the food was pretty good I have to say! My wife and my daughter's girlfriend both ordered the breakfast burrito with candied bacon eggs potatoes cheese avocado and a side of chipotle mayo, which looked amazing and a flavor bomb! my daughter order the chilaquiles and unfortunately had a hair in it which knocked off a star but they were gracious enough to replace and comp the meal that was nice! I ordered the Fried Chicken Eggs Benedict which was amazing the chicken nice and crispy the eggs with perfect runny yolk but the kicker was the gravy I loved it!!! Will comeback to try their wagyu burger for sure!!! read more

This place is pretty good for brunch, but I wouldn't recommend coming on the weekend unless you're prepared for a long wait. I was told it would be a 45-minute wait, but we ended up waiting over an hour. If they have big parties, they prioritize them over smaller groups, meaning you could be left waiting even longer. Service is decent, but I'd rate it about a 6/10. The food, however, was pretty solid for the price--definitely an 8/10. Overall, if you're in a rush or don't want to deal with the long wait times, you might want to come during off-peak hours. The ambiance was alright, nothing special but nothing bad to say about it. read more

Brunch spot by day that turns into a shabu place at night. The ambiance is underwhelming. Servers were friendly but it was hard to get their attention after we ordered. Overall, the food and coffee were okay. It looked a lot better in the pictures than how it actually tasted. The Ube French Toast was the best dish out of the ones we tried. The ube filling was delicious although the fruit was very tart. I was excited to try their fried chicken croffle. The chicken had nice flavor but the croffle left me unimpressed. There are definitely better brunch spots in the area. read more

Service was pretty good, food was not memorable, expensive for what it was. The wait is long, it was not even at capacity the kitchen and wait staff might not be able to handle a full house. read more

We came as a large party on a Sunday afternoon. The dining area inside is comfy for smaller parties so we got situated outside. There's plenty of parking in this plaza and there's restrooms in the far corner. Love that there's options to sit indoor or outdoor. Customer service was great - super attentive, great vibes, had a lot of patience for our large party. Food was tastey! Everything came out in good timing. I would definitely recommend! read more

Truly the star and highlight of my classic breakfast dish is the candied bacon and Kurobuta pork sausages. Loved the sweet, savory & robust flavor of the bacon strips while the texture of the sausage was tender and also flavorful. Paired perfectly with the Spanish latte drink, my dish came with roasted potatoes, vinaigrette salad, toast and eggs cooked over easy. The potatoes were just average, but overall the dish was filling. Hubby enjoyed the classic omelette with ham paired with ube latte (not pictured). Brunch servings are proportionally large. He only ate half of the omelette and had the rest to-go. My sister thoroughly enjoyed the avocado toast with egg, green salad, roasted potatoes and a side order of Kurobuta pork sausages paired with mocha latte (not pictured). Service - fast, no wait time for us Staff - friendly Ambiance- clean with outdoor patio seating. It's a brunch cafe by day, Shabu shabu pot at night read more

My buddy and I were excited to try this spot after hearing all the great reviews, but it didn't live up to the hype. The fried chicken and croffles were just okay, and the wagyu burger was so salty it was hard to eat. It seems the restaurant is under new management, which might explain the change in quality. To top it off, the service felt rushed--our waitress told us there was no hurry to pay, but then came back to check on us just 15 minutes later. read more

Pretty awesome food. Got the fried chicken Benedict which is on their croffle. The gravy on the Benedict (not hollandaise sauce) was amazing. It's what I want from a white chicken gravy. The chicken was juicy and the croffle was flaky. All in all, great meal. It was a bit of a smaller portion, one croffle and one pieces of chicken, split between two eggs. I'm guessing the fried chicken croffle would have been two? But skipping out on the gravy would have been a crime. Partner got the classic breakfast (unfortunately they were out of the pork sausage) and he thought the candied bacon was too soft (I agree. I feel like I expected a nice crunch caramelization for candied bacon, but it felt more like pepper bacon dipped in syrup) the potatoes were great! I didn't think I'd like them because they look like just fingerling potatoes but the seasoning and fry on it was great. We got a side of French toast which was also good. Not incredible or unique, but solid French toast. The ambiance was a bit weird cuz it's basically a shabu restaurant at night so it felt a bit out of place. And the weirdest thing of how we had to wait 30 minutes even though there were tons tons of tables and space available. But overall. Totally cool that we tried this place. read more

Really great tasting food. Loved to wagu breakfast burger, the ube French toast & Chicken & croffel. The service was fast & staff were really nice and courteous. The restaurant & atmosphere was really welcoming & had a nice relaxing comfortable feel. I'll definitely be back again to enjoy the great food. read more

Services takes forever. !!! 20-30 min wait for food... food was just ok and lemonade tastes like apple sauce...

I have have called 3 times to see if they have steak available and they are out everytime I have called around 12pm. So I had to postpone coming on my only day off with my spouse 3 times. So the 4th time was the charm. Woke up early and drove 35 mins to come here. Waited an hour to be seated another 20mins to be served steak that seems to have cartilage. Spent like 27 bucks on this not worth. Long waits, they always say multiple menu items are out stock on Sundays. The staff is amazing and doing there best! The owner needs to find solutions to this. read more

I've been here three times now and I will continue to come as long as they stay open. This is truly a hidden gem. I've tried a few different dishes and so far nothing has disappointed. The girls are always so friendly and are always checking on you. Depending on the time there might be a wait but it's worth the wait. If you love matcha as much as I do you have to try it here. read more

This was a great place to grab brunch and they have such great options! The prices are not too bad for the quality and they have delicious drinks! The breakfast sandwich was so delicious with a little sweetness from the bacon. They also turn into a shabu place by night which is also pretty good. The service here was very attentive and polite. They were a little strict on the 90 min dining timeframe, but it makes sense because breakfast is only so long before they switch to shabu so don't expect to spend a lot of time here. read more

Cafe in the morning and shabu by night. came to Wara Cafe, Started with honey lavender latte, loved it, lavender not too strong. Ube latte, nostalgic, reminds me of ginataan. Ordered Fried Chicken Croffle, comes with roasted potatoes fingerlings and spring salad with a light dressing. The fried chicken was cooked perfectly with a crunchy flavorful coating. Also tried the BLT added a fried egg. Awesome addition to a classic sandwich, this was also served with salad and potatoes. Our party of two finished 1/2 of our food and took the other 1/2 home to share or eat later. BIG portion sizes. Thank you for the experience read more

I went to sign in at this place, and we logged in there was one party ahead of us. Maybe two. There was 8 Open tables. They said that there was a 50 minute wait and doesn't make sense. You have 8 Open tables. You have one to two parties waiting parties, Its hot outside and no effort to make guests comfortable. No one cares. read more

The wait was extremely long! I understand waiting to be seated but even waiting for food was excruciatingly long.. The food was mediocre at best. Not bad, but definitely not anything life changing. Service was good, they were kind and attending. As just a personal opinion of me being picky, I would prefer the croffle to be a regular waffle but obviously I can't change the menu lol. The chicken itself was a bit.. nauseating? I don't want to blame it on Wara Cafe because that might just be my stomach at fault but just some food for thought. Presentation was nice though, however it left little room to actually eat on the plate so I had to get another one to separate my meal up. read more

We were suspicious of an entre named Chicken & Craffles. I'm sooooo glad I gave this place a chance. The chicken was seasoned to the gods, the salad was light and tasty. The chili syrup was flavorful and not over powering. And the Craffle had a great texture. BTW, Craffle = Croissant + Waffle! read more

Delicious! This was my first time at Wara Cafe and it was a lovely experience. I came on Sunday at 8:30am with a friend and we were seated almost immediately. I got the Shrek Latte and Fried Chicken Eggs Benedict & my friend ordered a Spanish latte and fried chicken croffle. The shrek latte was tasty! It reminded me of Cinnamon Toast Crunch with a hint of matcha. However, the star of the show was the fried chicken eggs Benedict. It was perfectly executed and well flavored. The chicken was freshly cooked and was a big portion. The waffle was not soggy and the gravy was not too salty. It was an overall perfect meal and kept me full for hours. I'd love to visit again! read more

Breakfast with my husband! Interesting concept; it's a breakfast spot from 8am to 2pm and a hot pot restaurant from 5pm to close. Same owner different restaurant names but breakfast was delicious, service was outstanding. Joe said the Chimichurri was the best he's ever had (and the server brought us a to-go container)his steak was cooked dcactly like he asked for it, the waffle was a croffle; part waffle part crossaint - 10/10. If I had to give a criticism, they need to deep clean the bathroom and not use the second bathroom stall as a storage closet. They need a more tidy solution to manage wires and supplies. 4/10, kind of off putting. Should be 5 stars but you lose a point for the tackiness. read more

Service for 10 ppl was a little slow. They dod mention there was a 20 min wait, but drinks came out except one regular hot coffee and we had to remind the waiter twice and the person in my party wanted it for warmth because it was cold sitting outside and other tables sat after us got their drinks and meals first and coffee was still forgotten. Other than food was great! Delish! Soo much food. Loved the seasoning on the chicken and the croffel was soo good! Coming here we got lost because its located in the middle of plaza and we couldnt see from the parking where it was. My family was like was talking in tagalog and wara in bisaya means nothing. So they kept asking me the name and i kept wara and they thought i kept saying nothing. read more

Wait times can get long during weekend brunch but it's so worth it. And glad business is going well, we went during the first days they opened and have been going back ever since. Everything is so good, specially the dressing on the side salad they serve with almost every dish. I crave it on its own it's soooo good! My current favorite dish is the avocado toast with bacon. It comes with their delicious crispy potatoes and that yummy salad. Their drinks are also really good! read more

I have been dying to try Wara for brunch since my dinner/shabu experiences here have been wonderful. I have always been disenchanted by the long wait everytime we've shown up at around 11. So one morning, around 9, I told my daughter, let's just go to Wara early, don't bother getting cute. That worked since we arrived and were sat within 10 minutes. We ordered the steak and pasta, ube French toast and fried chicken Benedict with country gravy. The steak + pasta and the fried chicken Benedict stole the show. The country gravy was soooo good and that creamy pasta was heaven. Loved our meal. We'd definitely come back again! read more

Wara Cafe - Ube French toast - Cafes Near Me - Chino, California

We came on a Saturday for brunch and tried the chicken croffle and the Uber French toast. Both food were delicious is their savory and sweet ways. I love the chili syrup, the crispy chicken and croffle. They all pair well with each other! And the Ube French toast is so satisfying. The portion is just right and the amount of sweetness from the Ube cream is also just perfection. This place is somewhat hidden amongst all the medical building, but it is still visible from the parking. There are also plenty of parking as well when we went. We were seated almost instantly and were helped right away. The food is amazing, the place is neat and clean and the ambiance is casual and lively (from all the happy people eating good food). read more

I finally stopped by after Wara Cafe being in my bookmarks & it was sooo good. I got the smoked salmon Benedict, it came with a salad and potatoes. My friend got the Wagyu burger & we split the seasonal French toast which was bacon and some syrup, IT WAS BOMB. The smoked salmon was SMOKEYYYY, the meat from the burger was amazing and the bacon French toast surprisingly delicious. I had a strawberry matcha latte with soy milk and my friend just got the matcha matter with almond milk. All the girls there were super sweet and friendly. Definitely coming back. read more

This place is amazing !! A hidden gem in chino. The restaurant is a little small so there can be a wait during popular breakfast and brunch hours. I came around 10:00 and the wait wasn't super long only about 10-15 minutes. The weather was nice so I was seated outdoors. Our server was super nice and attentive and gave us recommendations on the menu. The food is a bit pricy but the portions are super large! I got the fried chicken croffle and it was so juicy, perfectly seasoned, and crispy all in one dish. My only complaint would be that I wish there was more salad to eat with it since the chicken portion is large. I will 100% be back here ! read more

當你成熟到一個程度，明白自己的優勢，擁抱自己的短處，自然就可以分得清，哪些話可以虛心接受，哪些話笑一笑就好了，根本不必放在心上～ 今天發現Chino hills/Chino 也有 很不錯的美式早餐耶，一早跟好友來這家本來是 Shabu Shabu 的火鍋店， 原來早上還有這種美味可口，跟有漂亮拉花的Brunch , 這種店， 進城一堆， 在我們這就真的寥寥無幾，生意很好， 客人一直進來，我的Avocado toast, 雖然被雞蛋蓋住了， 好吃， 不喜歡吃 potato 的我，發現他家的potato 也好吃，他們的咖啡很多選擇， 點了 Spanish latte , 不錯， 雖然在我們這鄉下地方， 拉花，味道都沒輸人， 難怪生意興隆， 老闆真聰明，白天賣早餐，晚上吃火鍋， 物盡其用，很棒， 推薦給大家 read more
