There were a variety of choices for sides and I chose a fruit bowl. I also requested an iced vanilla latte. Our waiter was pleasant and only checked on us once after our plates arrived, which was perfect as we were in deep conversation. My Monte Cristo was pan-fried and not deep-fried the traditional way, cut and served as three pieces. The French toast was prepared nicely and the turkey, ham, and cheese inside were fine. A small ramekin of syrup was provided, not nearly enough for dipping, but there was a full dispenser of syrup on the table so no problem. Usually a berry jam is provided on the side but they provided some sort of mysterious fruit jam that was bitter and a single small taste of it was all it took to deny it from further use. Yuck. The bowl of fruit was a great choice for a side. It was all bursting with flavor - strawberries, banana slices, and blueberries! I was glad I chose this over potatoes or fries. The iced vanilla latte was, at best, simply "okay". The flavor was weak. Overall, it was a fine breakfast meal.

We didn't know what to order, so the girl at the counter made some recommendations, some of which we ultimately went with, and were pretty happy about. They even accommodated my indecision between two waffles, by making me a customized half/half waffle of my two choices! AMAZING!! (See pictures!) I forgot to take a picture, but I also had their Regular Coffee, and it was goooood! Strong! I liked it!! ... ALSO, after our meals, we decided to try a Frozen Custard Sundae. We went with Strawberry, and it was YUMMOOOO!! (See pictures and video!) The place has a small indoor area and a bigger patio area, which is where we sat. The place was clean and well stocked (utensils, napkins, cups, drinks area, bathroom, etc). They even have boardgames/UNO for customers to enjoy, but we were so into the food that we didn't need the entertainment. LOL In conclusion: TRY BRUXIE!! ... Do it!!

I guess I should've realized but the s'mores was basically dessert. It was good and I liked the crispiness of the waffle, but just very sweet for the morning. It came with a side of syrup which I don't use. The chicken was really good- crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and well seasoned. It was clean, there was lots of seating and the employees were very nice.

The Iced Vanilla Latte was excellent! rich and flavorful, yet clean and smooth without being overly heavy or creamy. The waffle was also delicious, topped with fresh fruit and ice cream, making it a perfect treat to share or enjoy as dessert. The service was friendly and welcoming throughout the visit. I'll definitely be coming back for another Iced Vanilla Latte.

From the cashier (pretty young lady) and 2 barista/dudes and since I have been binging finally on K drama I swear one of them (you need to find out for yourself) could be a twins of Kim Min-Kyu with glasses. I however didn't wear my glasses but I'm not mad about that. I think my first time visited this location was during 2010. Definitely more future trips back even though there are 20-+ coffee shops nearby. Thank you to the whole group for indulging me with my seahorse latte request and then some and simply brought so much joy to this aging heart of mine and my family's. Until next time! PTV

This was my first time visiting Bakers & Baristas but not my first time trying there macaroons…read more My daughter has been treating me to macaroons on special occasions and I absolutely love them! I can't have them from anywhere else because these hit the spot so hard that no one can compete. I personally have not tried anything else, but my kids have enjoyed other treats from this place. They are located in Cerritos at a very busy shopping plaza and there's plenty of parking. I didn't expect the bakery to be an actual restaurant. There was a good crowd, sitting at tables and eating and drinking. They have about a dozen different flavors of macaroons. You can't go wrong with any of them, but my top favorite are the Birthday, Fruity Pebble, Horchata, Cappuccino and Ferrero Rocher. They make nice gifts too, as they can put it in a treat box in an ice brown paper bag. I definitely need to come back and try their drinks and something else from their menu.

They charge an extra dollar to substitute oat milk, so I kept the regular milk. My son got the cappuccino cake, and I chose the ricotta pistachio cake. The pistachio cake was a little dry -- not terrible, but noticeable. However, my hot salted caramel latte was actually very good and paired really well with the dessert. The music and atmosphere were nice, and there were only a few patrons inside, which made it feel relaxed. However, there were a couple of dirty plates left sitting on tables while one employee seemed more focused on organizing napkins instead of clearing them. I also wasn't too sure how fresh the cakes were since they had been sitting in the display. Whether I come back really depends on the flavor and quality of the food and drinks next time around.

We…read moredidn't know what to think of it, all we knew was we wanted to go to a brunch spot and they did not disappoint! We had to wait about 15min to be seated. Food was amazing. I was excited about the coffee flight- my favorite was the raspberry mint mojito. If you order the flight, I recommend drinking from the mint mojito - raspberry - blackberry. Our server was nice and she explained the menu. She also mentioned that they take their food seriously, and she was not kidding. I liked how they set up the menu because in a specific section (I think, or maybe it's all sections can't remember) you order one of the main dishes and it comes with a small plate already. I ordered the custard French toast with a side of eggs and bacon. The BACON! Normally when I order bacon at places it's not something I overly enjoy because often times it's too hard or too oily-- I swear this was the perfect piece of bacon I've ever had. My husband ordered the beef short rib hash and I've never seen him eat sweet potatoes ever in our many years together. If I remember correctly, he cleaned his bowl of food. He was a little late in adding the sauce, which he regrets, so if you order this don't forget to try it with the sauce in the beginning. Inside the restaurant has some pretty interesting art around Filipino culture. Some minor feedback being that as fellow Filipinos were dining at the restaurant- I didn't quite understand the Filipino art or how that tied into the theme or roots of the restaurant or its history and would've loved to know more on how that came about or the story behind the choice to have that theme. Nevertheless, everything was amazing.

First time at Sunny Side Café. I had driven by this…read morerestaurant countless times. But for some reason i had never really noticed it. I'm not sure why. And then during a Yelp search, I saw the ratings. So, I went in last Friday for a late brunch with my parents and i can definitely say that i was pleasantly surprised. This restaurant is located in a small strip mall at the corner of Westminster Ave and Seal Beach Blvd. in Seal Beach. There is lots of parking out front and there is a handicap ramp leading to the entrance. From the parking lot to the interior of the restaurant, everything is clean with beautiful and simple floral designs. We came in at a down time as it was an hour or 2 prior to closing on a weekday. So, we just about enjoyed the whole restaurant to ourselves. As we walked in, we were greeted with a smile and immediately led to our table. The interior of the restaurant is setup like a country diner with booths and a long breakfast counter with high chairs. Only way more modern with fresh wall colors, rustic wood accents, vibrant tiled floors and large glass windows. It is Cozy and inviting. The old school playlist adds a relaxing touch. I really liked the live edge look-alike design on the tables. The wall of the hallway leading to the restrooms, is covered with really cool kids hand drawings. I thought this was a nice touch. I really like their overall menu which offers something for everyone. (See full menu in attached pictures) I ordered the Ribeye steak and eggs. The steak was tender, the sunny side up eggs were cooked over easy and i asked for the hash brown to be extra crispy. And it also came with 2 slices of toast. It was really good. My Mother got the Greek chicken skewer which is one grilled chicken skewer with grilled onions and bell peppers on a bed of garlic butter rice, a side of Tzatziki and a greek salad. My mother ate it all, i had a taste of it. It was delicious. My father was not hungry so he just had a latté. We all had a latté. They also have an orange juicer for fresh squeezed OJ and a pastry case. That day, they had some really fresh looking Almond croissants. Overall, we had a very good first time experience. Gioia, our server, who could have been the manager for all i know, was so kind, welcoming and accommodating. Which made our experience even better. I will definitely be coming back. FYI: they open at 7am and close at 3pm I highly recommend Sunny side Café.

This was my first time here, and unfortunately the service left a lot to be desired…read more The wait itself wasn't bad, but it took about 15 to 20 minutes just to get our drinks, and during that time nobody checked in or reassured us that they were on the way. Our food took about 45 minutes to come out as well. I understand places get busy, especially a restaurant this size, but communication goes a long way. I've worked in the service industry myself, and I know that even if something is delayed, taking a moment to let your table know what's going on makes a huge difference. It wasn't so much the wait that bothered me, it was being left wondering what was happening. My eggs were also undercooked compared to how I ordered them, but by the time they arrived I just ate them. To be fair, the manager did come by and check on us, which I appreciated. Before leaving, we stopped by the bakery and grabbed a few pastries, and honestly those were the highlight of the visit. They were delicious. Overall, not a terrible experience, but the lack of communication and long waits made it hard to fully enjoy our first visit

So I've finally had the chance to sit down and enjoy a meal here and I was utterly blown away at…read morehow delicious everything I ordered was. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger on sourdough with onion rings and an Arnold Palmer (more lemonade than tea). God, the service from my server Sarah was amazing too. The overall ambience and atmosphere knocked me off my socks too. Absolutely shocked how juicy the burger was, then again I did order it medium rare. The highlight of my meal were the onion rings. I had the feeling that they were double battered, breaded, and then fried. Felt like I died and went to heaven as I ate those onion rings. The food gets 5 stars Onto the most important highlight of my experience eating here, my wonderful and amazing server, Sarah. She was awesome and gave me a full rundown of all of the sides, sauces, cheeses that could come with my burger. Loved her warm attitude and running commentary as I ordered. Knowing that she loved the Arnold Palmer and bacon cheeseburger with onion rings made me feel like I made the right choice. Pretty cool to have a server with similar tastes in food. Also, she helped move my walker out of the way so it wouldn't block the flow of foot traffic. Kudos to her for that too. She'll probably be my favorite member of the wait staff if I ever come back for lunch again. Overall, a sweet girl with the right attitude. 5 stars for her amazing service. Finally, the overall appearance and ambience of the restaurant made me feel like I stepped back into my childhood in the 2000s. Timeless decor and comfortable seating along with it being busy during lunch with regulars made me appreciate this place even more. The wait for my food wasn't terrible considering it was the lunch rush. If anything the time it took made everything taste better. The overall ambience and vibe of the place gets 5 stars as well. Los Alamitos definitely has some amazing restaurants and this place is an absolute gem. I'm definitely coming back.
