Brunch restaurant

The cozy setting includes a lovely patio, making it a popular spot for brunch. Their menu features an assortment of delectable dishes such as smoked salmon tartines, croissant French toast, chorizo scramble, huevos rancheros Mimosa-style, and their renowned smoked paprika eggs benedict.
Cute breakfast place in DT San Clemente. Good service and ambiance. We split the croque madame so that’s all we can rate this on but it was good! Ham in the sandwich was very good.

Benedicts are tasty. Mimosas look good but didn't get one. The patio has a nice outdoor vibe and cool breezes. Service was excellent as they frequently filled my water cup. Friendly staff and overall excellent french style cuisine.

Great service from Tyler. The tables were full and I was worried we weren’t going to get a table for 2, but Tyler greeted us right away (made us felt welcomed), sat down and served up mimosas in record time. Great experience and added to a great perfect day in San Clemente.

Breakfast So Good I Canceled My Netflix Special. Listen, I've worked in 42 countries and eaten at restaurants where the chef has more Michelin stars than I have forgettable romantic encounters. But Cafe Mimosa in San Clemente? This place is the Sydney Sweeney of breakfast spots – unreasonably good-looking and somehow even better on the inside. Stop- that’s not what I meant. First off, their coffee or as I like to call it my "liquid morning motivation." I had three and then pitched a new tv idea in the parking lot to a mailbox. It seemed interested. The pork belly eggs benedict? Let me tell you, Sydney in a bathing suit is less perfect than their hollandaise sauce. Smooth, rich, with just the right amount of lemon, layered over pork belly so tender it seems unfair. Kind of makes me emotional. For animal activists. Cause there’s no turning this around. Honestly, it felt life-changing. But my therapist says I need to stop developing emotional attachments to breakfast foods. Obviously she hasn't been here. And the staff? Tyler in particular- what a mensch. Remembered my name after one visit. Most of my dates can’t even do that. The whole operation here runs here like if efficiency and charm had a baby and that baby was really good at refilling coffee and making you fat. Bottom line: Cafe Mimosa is no joke – reliable, satisfying, and will leave ya wanting more. Five stars isn't enough. Neither is this review. But my therapist also says I need to stop writing reviews and get back to pretending to work.

Seafood restaurant
The Fisherman's Restaurant & Bar is a top spot in San Clemente for enjoying fresh seafood with stunning ocean views. Located on the San Clemente Pier, this casual beachside eatery offers a menu featuring sustainably-caught seafood such as chowders, fish and chips, burgers, fried calamari, steamed clams, Dungeness crab cocktail, pan-fried oysters, and Cajun ahi.
This place is well worth it. The ocean view, service, and ambiance were spectacular. Clam chowder, and crab cakes were great. Main course was fish and chips, My girlfriend got the Shrimp Scampi. Both were delicious. Everything was served fresh, without a long wait time. Oh yeah Cesar Salad (a must). Complimentary fresh bread. Can’t wait to go back.
Heath N — Google review
2025-06-30 Restaurant located at the start of the local pier. Features a full service restaurant side and a casual oyster bar side. We had lunch on the oyster bar side. We ordered clam chowder, calamari, seafood salad, grilled ahi sandwich, shrimp taco's and a kid's fish and chips to. All foods were delicious. I thought the bowl of clam chowder was good, but not spectacular. The calamari was breaded, thick chunks of squid body. The seafood salad was a bit pricey for just OK seafood with lettuce. There was generous amount of prev frozen bay shrimp and snow crab. Service was quick and friendly. Atmosphere is great for a seaside bar with great views of the surf and pier. Would go back anytime.

I recently had the chance to go to The Fisherman’s Restaurant & Bar with my husband, and I absolutely loved it. From the start, the oceanfront atmosphere made the whole experience so special — nothing beats enjoying a good meal while listening to the waves in the background. I ordered the Salmon BLT, and it was simply delicious. The bread was fresh with the perfect texture, the salmon was juicy and well-seasoned, and the avocado, lettuce, and tomato balanced everything beautifully. The crispy bacon added the perfect touch. The side of mushroom rice was flavorful yet light, which paired really well with the sandwich. My husband went for the classic Fish and Chips, and he was just as impressed. The fish was perfectly golden and crispy on the outside while tender and fresh on the inside. The fries were hearty, and with a squeeze of lemon and the dipping sauce, it was spot on. I enjoyed a chilled glass of white wine with my meal, which rounded out the experience perfectly. Overall, it was a delicious lunch with spectacular views and very good service. I left feeling so happy to have shared such a wonderful moment with my husband. We’ll definitely be coming back soon.🙊🫨💃🏻🙌🏻

I had brunch here with my boyfriend and his cousin this past weekend, and it was such a great experience from start to finish! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with beautiful views of the water that made it feel like a charming East Coast spot right here in California. I ordered the French toast and a Bloody Mary — both were absolutely delicious. The French toast was perfectly fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness, and the Bloody Mary had a nice kick without being overpowering. They even surprised us with complimentary muffins to start, which was such a thoughtful touch — warm, fresh, and a perfect way to begin our meal. Our waitress was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without hovering. To top it all off, we didn’t have to wait at all for a table, which made the morning even better. Between the food, the friendly service, and the stunning waterfront views, this spot is definitely one I’d recommend and can’t wait to visit again!
Rachael A — Google review
Beautiful spot with a great evening. I rated an overall four due to the clam chowder. The texture and taste was great, having clams in clam chowder is a prerequisite. It was mainly celery and potatoes, more celery than potatoes. The fish and chips was great, nice fresh taste with a crunchy batter. The sourdough bread outstanding. Service by Giselle was excellent. I will return.

I have never been to this restaurant and was so thrilled to be able to go for a date night with my husband. I have a huge thing for seafood and am always trying to make fresh seafood at home, but nothing beats going out for a special dinner on the town. This restaurant is literally on the wharf and has two sites to eat at. One is the oyster bar and the other is the main restaurant. We chose the restaurant in order for us to be able to sample all kids of food. We picked Bucket of Clams, a Half Dungeons Crab, Oyster Rockefeller, a Bowl of Clams Chowder and for dessert Crème Brûlée . We also splurged on a few drinks. Let me tell you this place was so fabulous. The broth the Clams were steamed in you could just eat that alone and be extremely happy. The Clams themselves were exquisite and so delicious and not over chewy, with no sand in site. The Oysters were so creamy and delightful, the Crab was steamed to perfection and didn’t even honestly need any butter. The Bowl of Clams Chowder was so creamy and rich with big chunks of clams and potatoes and you could just taste how fresh it was. The Crème Brûlée was to die for and was a perfect ending to our meal. We left there stuffed to the gills and will definitely bring coming here again to try other fabulous options. Oh and by the way the service was extremely amazing and prompt. They even brought us a complementary bucket of clams because we he first bucket did have a few unopened clams, so to make up for it they sent us a new one, which obviously we didn’t refuse. Thanks so much again ladies and gentlemen it was an amazing time we will soon not forget!

Today Oct 26th at 12:45pm we got the 3 pc fish and chips at the Gallery that is owned by this restaurant. There was something that looked like a worm/bug/parasite in the fish. I am not 100% sure what that is but look at my photos and see for yourself. If you Google it really looks like a parasitic roundworm. Upon confronting them they said they issued a refund. This needs investigated by the restaurant as this is potentially a serious health issue. The staff at the Galley did not seem concerned.

Very nice restaurant by the sea, specializing in seafood (of course!). We started with oysters and calamari. Then countinued with scallops (fresh) and scampi (fresh), all very good. I recommend this place.

The Cellar is a charming New American eatery and wine bar located in the heart of Del Mar Street. It features a cellar-like ambiance with dark woods, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The menu offers an array of all-American cuisine, including sharing platters, cheese boards, and hearty mains like stacked burgers, mac n cheese, short ribs, and grilled salmon. In addition to its artisan cheese shop, The Cellar also boasts outdoor dining and live music events.
We had great service this time. Sat at the bar, and Tanner was the bartender. He was absolutely fantastic. I have had poor service before at least 3 times, and that's why I've only given 4 stars. Food was fantastic. Duck ravioli and grilled portobello were our meals. My only other complaint is that it's just dark, and for those of us who are older, it makes it difficult to read a menu. Beautiful place inside and out and every item we've tried has been delicious

One of my all-time favorite San Clemente restaurants! The truffle popcorn on the dinner menu is so good you’ll want to order seconds. And the cheese boards are simple but exquisite. Sitting in their outside patio on a lovely California day drinking a Hugo Spritz in the sunshine is my definition of a perfect time in this little beach town. Absolutely check it out- you won’t be disappointed!

Ended up grabbing a table at this restaurant on a very busy Mother’s Day. While most restaurants turned us down for no reservation and no walk-ins on special days, The Cellar was very happy to accommodate us on their pet friendly patio. Food was great and reasonably priced. I had the burrata and beet salad and I really enjoyed it. Staff and customers were equally friendly.

Happy Hour review: Five stars! The happy hour menu is excellent. We had the cheese plate and tater tots which was a great snack. The cheese plate is carefully crafted and comes with some creative accompaniments. The cheese monger here is clearly passionate and knowledgeable! I also want to shout out their lavender caramel latte. This drink was incredible, with the lavender infused into the caramel and swirled on the outside of the glass. An extremely memorable latte!

More of a 3.5 stars, but rounded it up to be nice. The good parts: both the food taste and the service were good. The food presentation was also nicely done. The not so good part: I understand that the town is expensive, but still. For the cheese and meat boards was expecting better sides like honey, jam and similar that should have come with it. Also for the mushrooms flatbread, the taste was good but mushrooms were absent 😒

Charming French-themed cafe. Ordered the Antoine’s Benedict, Croque Madame and French Vanilla special coffee. All excellent. Service with a smile. Only odd thing was how to cafe latte was served, which appeared to be in a soup bowl. Would’ve preferred a proper cup. Other than that, all good!

First visit, I was looking forward to a good breakfast. I had the chicken fried steak w/ gravy, poached eggs, hash browns, and rye toast ($20). All good, but must comment on the gravy. It was “ham forward”, sweet and smoky, not the greatest. Portions were good, rye toast was good quality and service was excellent. Recommended, I’ll be back and try something different.

⭐⭐⭐⭐½ Just spent the most perfect overcast morning at Antoine Café in San Clemente, and I'm already planning my return visit! This charming little spot has absolutely nailed the cozy café experience, especially on those moody coastal days when you want to escape the world for a bit. The service here is nothing short of spectacular — attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely interested in making sure you have a great experience. It's that rare kind of service that elevates your entire meal. Let me tell you about their special crabcake Benedict — absolute game changer! The crabcakes were perfectly crisp on the outside while staying delicately tender inside, topped with poached eggs that burst with that gorgeous golden yolk when cut into. The hollandaise had just the right amount of richness and acidity to complement the crab without overwhelming it. If it's on the specials menu when you visit, don't even hesitate! The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between lively and relaxed. There's something about the soft lighting against the gray sky outside that creates this intimate bubble where you can really unwind and enjoy your meal. It's the kind of place where you can lose track of time in the best possible way. The only minor miss was the mocha, which fell a bit flat compared to everything else — a bit too sweet and not quite enough depth to the chocolate and espresso flavors. It's the only thing I wouldn't order again, but with so many other enticing options on the menu, that's hardly a deal-breaker. Antoine Café is definitely on my regular rotation now. That nearly perfect experience, especially with that incredible crabcake Benedict, has me already plotting my next visit!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This was an awesome breakfast spot for us on our last day in San Clemente. It is definitely a smaller sized restaraunt but we were able to sit down within 15 min of being there. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly and attentive. This was a wonderful spot also because the menu has a variety of items. So even if you don't want just breakfast they serve burgers and tacos, etc. As well. It was a lovely place!

I’m age 79 best pancakes I have ever eaten very fluffy great. We were greeted by a very pretty well dressed polite young lady who greeted us and brought us inside the restaurant. Everyone who waited on us was spotless well dressed and so polite. Note, the place is very clean and even the restroom is spotless and shines. The fresh orange juice was as stated , Fresh…. The coffee was great cups were spotless. This restaurant is well run has great vibes and a great place to take a love one to. Food was great no complaints at all. Note we live in Oceanside 22 miles away. Picked this place off of Google on way to a day trip to LA. What a find will drive here from Oceanside in the future to have breakfast.

This is a really cute place with great coffee. Service started out feeling a bit brusque, with the greeter being unsmiling while she hurried me back outside to wait in the drizzle. Limited seating and popular--our party of 3 had to wait about 30 minutes for a table at 11 a.m. on a weekday. My husband enjoyed his breakfast tacos. My flavored black coffee was sooo good. I ordered the avocado tartine and to me the dish didn't coalesce. Each item was fine but the salad dressing wasn't acidic enough to cut the fat of the generous cheese on the eggs, and the dry baguette and the avocado seemed to cry out for some seasoning and perhaps a tiny drizzle of olive oil, so it just felt like disparate items on a plate that weren't necessarily better together. Next time I'll try a benedict or the yummy sounding french toast, but I was in the mood for greens that day. Our first server must have ended her shift without handing us off, because a new server entered the picture partway through the meal. I always think it's nice when they say "hey, I'm leaving so I wanted to introduce you to ___, who will be taking care of you now." However, both were kind and efficient and kept up with refills. The ambiance is very cozy and feels like a hug.

We were heading back home from a stay in Dana point & discovered our tire was flat, we stopped in at the Big O tires to get the flat tire fixed and they recommended the sunrise cafe to take the kids to breakfast, so we walked over to the sunrise cafe, we were instantly greeted and sat right away, the staff was so kind so friendly, Our food was delicious!!!!! We left the cafe walked back to Big O tires to pick up our vehicle and get back on the road for a 10 hour drive to home .. 3 hours into our drive, my son panics and says mom I left my retainers wrapped in the napkin at the sunrise cafe, (retainers are expensive to replace) I thought it was a long shot but worth trying, we called and sunrise cafe, Lexie answered the phone (she was our waitress) I begin to explain the situation & ask if there’s any chance they could look in the trash, (realizing, knowing what I was asking was out of the ordinary & gross to rummage through trash looking for retainers wrapped in a napkin) Lexie was so kind, she said let me see what we can do, she took my phone number down & told me she would call me either way. I said thank you & we ended the call. A few minutes later I received a text saying the trash was already taken out to the dumpster. I replied no worries I understand, and I thanked her for her efforts.. A few minutes later she text me again saying “we’ve got them “ what’s your address and I’ll send them to you… I couldn’t believe it! They did not have to do that for me, I couldn’t believe it, we are so incredibly grateful! we had already loved our experience at sunrise cafe, this experience has left a forever impression and impact !

I went to Ruby’s Diner and I love our server Nick! He is entertaining and very funny guy! I feel like I in the in 1970’s because they have diners that time, and they still have diners now. The Bacon Cheeseburger was good but it’s a little messy but I like it, and I got their French Fries and their Coleslaw too, with ranch too. And I got Barq’s Root Beer too and it’s my favorite drink! I got a Chocolate /Vanilla Milkshake mixed together and blended too! I got my milkshake and my food to go because I was full and I wanted take my drink and my milkshake home too and I spilled a bit to! And I got Auntie Anne’s Pretzels too, I the mini Pretzels (Warmed) and a side of Caramel Dip too (Warned)! Outside it’s was fogging and cold and we went home!

Cool place he tree at Outlets at San Clemente! Excellent spot right after cars & coffee here every Saturday, rain or shine! We got there around 10:15 am, it was busy, but nothing crazy. There no waiting, we got sat down right away. Here is what I didn’t like. 20 minutes go by and no one had even gotten our drink’s order yet. So we had to ask for someone. After that, our orders were taken, we ordered our food right away too, just in case lol. The food came out another 20 minutes later, and it was good. And the prices were average. We did enjoy our breakfast there, the food was really good, except for my daughter’s potatoes (They were hard), but the potatoes on all other plates were nice and soft. So we just shared. We’ll probably try it again. By the time we were leaving, around 11:10 am, the place was packed. There was also a line of people outside the restaurant by their front door.

It was good food and good service. Genuinely I didn't want to come to Ruby's but it was the only thing nearby so we stopped and came in. Then we meet our server, Nick, he is so entertaining and he is a cool guy in general. 5 stars for Nick, he needs a raise...

Denny's is a beloved casual diner chain that serves up classic American comfort food, making it a go-to spot for all-day breakfast cravings. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty Lumberjack Slam featuring buttermilk pancakes and an array of proteins or prefer something lighter like the Fit Slam with egg whites and turkey bacon, there's something for everyone.
Great place to stop in drive to San Diego. Great service and food was lovely too. We are tourists so we were delighted to be able to stop and enjoy our food. Plenty of parking too

The food was amazing the cooks know what they are doing. The service in the other hand is not the best. Our server had a very bad attitude and it was not just to us. We did not get napkins or utensils. They are also a location that does not accept phone coupons even though they whole place has signs making you get the app. Makes no sense.

My boyfriend and I stopped by on our way down to San Diego on a Friday night. It was open at 10pm when grabbed some food and was easily accessed off the 405. Ordered an omelet and a pancake combo, and both things came out quickly. Plenty of parking was available. Credit cards accepted. The server who helped us was nice but asked some questions around my ethnicity, which was a bit off-putting, but I guess sometimes you deal with weird stuff the later it gets at night. Overall, a convenient stop for driving down to SD from LA.

I wanted to leave my review here and just say this has been by far the best Dennys I have ever been to easy to access and with a great atmosphere and without a doubt delicious food. I ended up going yesterday Saturday late at night. This kind and sweet waitress named Jackie was just the best. Aside from it being busy she always checked up on us to see if everything was good and assisted us with any food requests we needed. Also she helped us sign up for the rewards which I wasn't aware of but I highly recommend because it offers great rewards. If your ever craving some delicious food after a late night out I highly recommend here. Will come back again and hope that Jackie assists us again next time.

Overall, this is one of the worse Denny’s I’ve been to. Although this location is iconic due to its prominent location right off the freeway, the food and service failed to meet my expectations (which weren’t high to begin with for a Denny’s). My pancakes came with a nice garnish of caramelized onion that clearly fell off of someone else’s dish. Service was slow.
Francesca M — Google review
Me and my partner went for a quick breakfast stop at this Denny’s horrible customer service. We waited 30 minutes just so our order could be taken when there is no one in the dining area. When the food was out ready, it took them 10 minutes to bring it to our table. I was a bit upset already, then I see I got charged for my whole plate when I had removed some items from my plate I didn’t want. They charged me for the whole plate !!!! The lady said that’s how they charge …

I knew it was gonna be bad going into it, but I didn’t realize how bad it could be. The only reason my wife and I went was because we were starving and had to get to the airport with little time to spare. My French slam was utterly tasteless. The French toast was bland, empty in the rich and savory tastes that usually are in French toast. The eggs were OK, nothing special. The bacon was a complete joke; burnt and paper, thin. The sausage was just fat and spices. I really regret going here. My stomach hurt for two days afterwards.

San Clemente, CA - A must stop at this Starbucks in town to take a caffeine break for the rest of the trip home (another 2 hrs!). A nice little store in this beach town, busy, staff was alert at greeting each and every guest that walks in the door.

I really appreciate that they have “gluten-friendly” options. The burger was very disappointing- I would rather have in n out any day of the week. I had not been to an IHOP since about 2007. We went for my wife wanting to try her favorite cereal in pancake form. I think for fast food it’s a bit overpriced - I would rather go to a smaller mom and pop for an omelette or pancakes. This location was pretty busy.

We came in Sunday morning 8:00am before the Sunday rush. There were 3 other tables with people at them and we still waited 45 minutes before our food came - standard stuff ordered, just some eggs and pancakes. Nothing crazy. During that wait, the restaurant started to fill, and the only food we saw come out of the kitchen was for a table that ordered 15 minutes after us. We were getting up to leave whe the food arrived. This isnt the first time either. Last October we came for dinner and left after an hour. We figured it was off gours

My boyfriend and I have been waiting for such a long time for Breezy to reopen as it is one of our favorite spots, so we had to go on their grand opening weekend. We got sat right away, as I think we just missed the brunch rush on Sunday. The location looks great!!! So much seating and it’s just super cute. We sat outside which we enjoyed. We ordered the honey basil ribeye bowl and burrito which my boyfriend loved from last time. His only complaint is that the meat was a bit dry but he did ask for the sauce on the side and when he added it, he loved it!!!! I decided to try the loco moco this time and really loved the flavor. I ordered their banana latte and I was a fan but the ube latte really surprised me and I would order that next time. Overall the flavor and quality is still there (but I think it can use more sauce for their meat plates since it was dry). Happy they are reopened!

Highly recommend the Eggs Benedict. The potato squares had good texture and were seasoned well. The egg wasn't runny but it had good flavor. It's also a very filling dish. We were taken off the wait-list but once we alerted the host we were able to be seated quickly. The Strawberry Breeze Matcha is a good drink if you prefer a matcha that isn't too sweet. There's shade outside if that's where you'll be seated around 12-1pm.

This place has delicious food. My wife, daughter, and I went here before heading to the airport as a great (and positive) way to complete our trip to CA. We parked about a block away (pay for parking, but reasonable) and had to wait for ~40 minutes to get seated. The staff was friendly and helpful, and got us seated after taking our orders. The setting was very casual and you could tell a lot of locals were enjoying their time. When we got our food I knew I would leave stuffed. My pork adobo burrito (which my daughter ordered as well) was certainly big enough I would have been fine with half. My wife went for the Easy Breezy, and couldn’t finish. And top it off we ordered the ube pancake stack, which we barely touched because we were so full. Check this place out.

The sandwich is generously packed with fresh greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and creamy cheese, all nestled between soft whole-grain bread. The addition of a crisp apple on the side makes this meal feel balanced and nourishing. A great choice for a quick, healthy, and flavorful lunch!

Momo and I have been enjoying our 🥗 🥖 lunches at different Panera Bread locations in Irvine/Lake forest areas. Today we came here to see the 🦖 🦕 Dino displays at the outlet in SC and to my surprise this Panera is the BEST 🌟 we have visited! The chicken salad in the To go container that I usually get is actually filled to the TOP , unlike all the other Paneras that only fill 2/3 of the bowl, and ingredients are abundant and generous. Everything tastes great and the staff were very kind to me and my service dog. Thank u all for everything! We live 45 min away without traffic and hope to visit you soon!

My family and I came here the Friday before Mother's Day. We were just having a generally difficult day with our 2 kids under 2. Our toddler was having a terrible time, but there was a baker there that immediately got him smiling and acting himself. I most likely remembered it incorrectly, but I believe her name was Cherniece. She was so sweet to our son, I have NEVER seen him warm up to someone so fast, but she was so amazing with him and definitely turned his day around. I can not express our gratitude as a newly growing family.

Our first breakfast here we decided to try The Bagel Shack which was pretty close to where we were staying. I love a good bagel sandwich & this place did not disappoint! I order a multigrain bagel with egg, cheese, & avocado. I loved it! The eggs were cooked to perfection & there was a good amount of avocado added onto this sandwich. My boyfriend ordered the Lowers with bacon which is egg, cheese, & bacon. I had the best vanilla chai I’ve ever had here! It was amazing & I will most definitely be craving it for a while. Parking was easy. There were plenty of bagel options. Staff was great!

I really like going to the bagel shack! They are decently priced - about f5 dollars for a bagel with cream cheese and about 8 for a hot breakfast sandwich with eggs. I had the Maui Malibu with guacamole and with sliced Avocado, onions, and green chili. Amazing on multigrain bread. You order at the front counter and pick up from the kitchen , no tips expected.

This has become our go-to breakfast spot while staying in San Clemente. They have a wide variety of menu options and plenty of vegetarian items, for us vegetarians. In addition, it is a quick and budget-friendly option that is substantial enough to get us through the morning and early afternoon until we have a late lunch or early dinner. My hubby got the egg and cheese bagel both times so far and my daughter really liked the cinnamon crunch bagel with plain cream cheese. So far I've tried the Old Man's with a cheese bagel topped with avocado, plain cream cheese, and lemon pepper, as well as the Doheny on a Jalapeño Cheddar bagel, kalamata olives, tomato, feta cheese, and I added plain cream cheese to it. Both were delicious! Both times my husband picked up our food for takeout but said the shop was really cute and clean with indoor and outdoor eating spots. The owner was there both times and was friendly. We will definitely be back!

Breakfast game: Olympic-level strong. 💪 Okay, listen up... I just had the most insane experience at this spot called Cafe Rae, and I literally cannot stop thinking about it. Ladies, you know when you meet a guy who's actually nice AND attractive? This place is basically that, but in restaurant form. So I order their special pesto breakfast hoagie, right? And when it arrived—no exaggeration—I had a full-on relationship with this sandwich. First date, honeymoon phase, and then seriously thought about going exclusive. It was out of this world! Like, I'm talking the kind of sandwich that makes you want to text your ex just to tell them you’ve moved on. The place itself? Adorable. It's got that aesthetic that would absolutely kill on an Instagram feed. They have this little flower garden outside that looks like they were left by the Indians and then they built the restaurant around them. It literally smells like manure out there. That’s how well they tend that garden: Delightfully charming. The kind of floral setup that makes you want to bring your mom there just so she knows you’re less likely to end up in jail now. And can we talk about the service for a second? The staff there, particularly Nina—absolute queen bee-havior. The service was so good at this place I almost felt bad for not bringing a bottle of wine or something. Almost. Will I be back tomorrow? Is water wet? Of course I will. I'm already picking out what I'm going to wear. This place isn't just a meal, it's a vibe. Five stars, easy. Actually, if I could give it six stars for making me feel things I haven't felt since my last situationship ended, I would.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ and if this review convinces you to eat there: you’re welcome.

Beware this place is terrible. I almost never leave a bad Review, but I felt obligated to let others know that this place is not any good. Overall I don’t think this place deserves 1 star. Chairs- extremely uncomfortable Facility- old out dated not clean, smells Coffee- cheap cold coffee and cheap powder creamer. Cup still had lip stick on it from previous customer. When it was mentioned to waitress, she poured the coffee that was in dirty cup into another cup and handed it back to us 🤦‍♂️. Toast- suppose to be sour-dough , was cheap white bread. Hash browns- toasted on exterior, uncooked frozen inside- not eatable 🤢 My $25 omelette with crab was terrible 🤮. When waitress ask if I didn’t like it, I told her it was not good, she said know one really likes that one 😳. I told her hash brown was not properly cooked, she replied that’s too bad, then said I hope the rest of your day is nice. The other 4 family members with me also said their food was disgusting, possibly used rancid oil to cook it. Only edible food was the chicken strips and fries my daughter ate. Service was poor at best. Atmosphere - music was outdated. I felt uncomfortable from the time I entered the place.

Really, really cute coffee house with one of the best Mexican Mochas I've had in quite some time. The lady who helped us was super friendly and helpful - going out of her way to help us. They have a good variety of drink choices as well as baked goods and breakfast/brunch options to order. Their parking is a bit limited, but there is a Ralph's parking lot right next to them that we used without issue.

I had such a great experience at Zebra House Coffee and Eatery! I ordered the Kalua pork bowl, and it was the perfect balance of healthy, flavorful, and filling. Every bite felt satisfying without being too heavy, and it’s definitely a dish I’d come back for. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even more enjoyable. One of the coolest features of this place is their drive-through, which is super convenient if you’re on the go. On top of that, I got a morning muffin for signing up for their text program, and let me tell you—it was incredible. I’m not usually a muffin person, but this one was so delicious it might just convert me! It was moist, flavorful, and the perfect little treat. Overall, Zebra House Coffee and Eatery offers great food, a welcoming vibe, and some thoughtful extras that make the experience stand out. I’m looking forward to coming back again soon!

Found this place on Google with pretty decent reviews. I got a avocado toaster scramble eggs on top of it paid about $12. When I asked for water the lady said she will give it to me but she will make an exception which is kind of weird that they wouldn't give water to you. For $12 this is very basic. It's just one slice of bread. I Can think of a dozen better places than this so three stars is pretty fair.

Very cute little place just off the freeway. There’s a self ordering kiosk which is super easy to use. I ordered a latte and it was good. The only thing I didn’t like was getting a to go cup when I asked “for here” cup

The coffee shop looked really promising on Google Maps, but in reality it wasn’t that good. The coffee was worse than Starbucks — I couldn’t even drink it. The bread wasn’t fresh, super dry. We waited 25 minutes for coffee and toast. Definitely not worth coming back. The only thing I liked was the self-order machine and the comfy chairs inside. But the tables and chairs outside were super dirty and sticky.

Really cool coffee and food spot! Convenient freeway stop off, good hours, easy parking, cake pops, good dripping coffee, fried bologna sando! Delicious and interesting with crispy fried onions too!, nice pesto pasta salad, fresh and light on a Summer day! And a wee lil honeybbee bagel just for fun! Drinkz, surfboard wax, dog friendly, highly recommend this spor along the coast

My go to breakfast spot when in San Clemente since i was a teenager! Coffee is pretty basic but great variety of food options, including vegan and vegetarian--get the vegan breakfast burrito. Dine in or take out/drive through makes it pretty quick, service is the best staff are helpful and kind. I love bringing out of towners here, captures the San Clemente vibe perfectly.

Mr. Pete's Burgers, a beloved spot in San Clemente, has garnered attention for its mouthwatering offerings over the years. Recently, I decided to revisit this iconic eatery and was eager to indulge in their famous burgers. However, my experience was a mixed bag. While the ambiance had been refreshed with a clean look, it lacked air conditioning during my visit, making it quite uncomfortable inside.
Update: went back to dine in and it wasn’t the best experience. Inside is no A/c or at least, it wasn’t on if they had it. Our food came out at different times, and the quality went down. If you need drink refills, you have to ask everytime. If siting near the window, be careful. Tons of spider webs. I wish that I would have taken photos of the food. We ate it so quickly, we were definitely hungry and after waiting almost 30 minutes in the drive thru, we were starving. 😆. Got the kids French toast, zucchini fries, the breakfast pancake combo, and Mr. Pete’s burger. It was honestly all so delicious my personal favorite was the Zucchini fries but my husband loved the burger. Price wasn’t bad either. Would definitely come back and try other items but maybe call ahead.

First time because I heard great reviews from the local San Clemente page. Wasn’t sure what to order but the man over the speaker ag the drive thru said one of the most common was the Turkey avocado melt. Sounded delicious. Ate half of my sandwich and went to grab the other half and saw this!! Black over ripe avocado. And even a slice of the thick avocado skin once I took it apart. Not at all appetizing. Threw it away 🤢 my daughter got the kids chicken tenders and fries which ended up being okay.

So I was around san clemente and there weren't a lot of options for me to stop by and grab a bite, I saw mr Pete's and decided to try it out. I got the big asada burrito and it was just white rice and beans and 2 strips of "asada meat" it was like if I had a bean and rice burrito lol I mean I ate it because I paid 16 for that burrito and drink really disappointed on this burrito no flavor, they have like a teriyaki chicken bowl that my co worker order and that was 20 dollars but look way better than the mexican food they sell there

I've got to be honest this is a bag of hits and misses with 4 stars giving the benefit of the doubt over 3 stars. The new interior helps to give the eating space a clean and updated feel but does not fully succeed in hiding age of the building. The fresh squeezed juices looked very nice, my sister enjoyed her green tee late, but mom was disappointed in only having non-dary creamer for her coffee. My Pork Benedict was fine but nothing really stood out as special or great the honindase sauce was just passable. Chilli killè was also just fine. The kalula pork was the best part of those two dishes. Sister liker her fried chicken and waffle but while I agreed the chicken was quite good I felt the waffle was soggy. We split the onion rings and those were very good. I suspect that their best item is in fact the burgers. The og Mr Pete's used to be the very stereo typical "burger shack" with price prioritised over quality but not bad with good deep fried items that are easier to do on a lower price point. In its new iteration as Aloha Pete's I think its struggling to figure out exactly what it is now. Last, if anyone from Aloha Pete's reads I would make a point to have a minimum standard for dress code fir the staff. Sweat pants is a bad look for any restaurant.

Super friendly staff, and the atmosphere was clean and inviting. We loved the Hawaiian music. We ordered the club house sandwich, chicken sandwich, and 420 burger. The fries were especially great! I highly recommend it for casual dining and the breakfast menu looked very extensive and delicious also. We’ve been there for lunch now. We will have to try breakfast next.

My husband was excited to stop here on our way back to San Diego after reading some great reviews. Unfortunately, when we pulled into the drive-thru, we never received any service. After waiting for a while with no response, we decided to leave rather than go inside, since we were on a tight schedule. The menu looked fantastic, so it was disappointing that the drive-thru experience didn’t live up to expectations.

As a San Clemente local, we had to try Aloha Mr. Pete’s - who has been famous for years for their burgers, but who only recently connected with the same group who does Aloha Stacks for breakfast. I had the Canadian Bacon eggs benedict. My wife had a vegetarian breakfast burrito. Both of us had iced coffee. The Benedict Hollandaise had an interestingly more fruity and tangy flavor than I am used to which was odd but ironically refreshing. The veggie burrito came with refried beans that were fantastic, and the tortilla looked as though it was grilled to perfection; the thing was massive and required a to-go box for the other half. Pricing is very reasonable, the service staff at the counter are very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is perfect for families - very durable and easy to rinse down. Cute atmosphere with Islander music while you look out towards the ocean. Parking is a little strange; we did not try the drive-through. Lastly, the coffee is a solid blend - not over roasted or burnt (more like a smother version of a McDonalds blend).

I waited 15 minutes for my first loco moco order with over easy eggs, the eggs were burnt and more done than over hard. I drove back to return it and the kind girl said I’m so sorry we will re make it for you. After another 15 minutes I got my next order, this time everything was even more burnt and the eggs way more burnt than last time. They need to fire whatever cook was there at 2pm 12/01/23 because that is a disgrace to one of my favorite restaurants in town.

The staff was very nice, the atmosphere and location was AMAZING, however…. the food was AWFUL. Maybe they have good deserts but I spent 24$ on a 12 inch pinch and it was the worst pizza I had in my life. Visually it was very sad and underwhelming and the flavor was also not good. The worst part was how my jaw was getting sore from chewing my pizza dough so hard because it was SO chewy. Awful, I would definitely NOT recommend the Margarita Pizza.

I went to this place Caterina's in San Clemente. Three stars. That's right in the middle: not terrible, not amazing. Just... there. Like my high school GPA. So about the service... yeah, I get what everyone's saying about it. It's not great. The waitress looked at me like I was speaking a different language, and I was just asking where the bathroom was. I mean, I do mumble sometimes. My girlfriend says I sound like I'm talking through a broken speaker to at a drive-thru. Just kidding. I don’t have a girlfriend. But anyway back to Caterina’s whose name reminds me of a Russian chick that married the guy who first owned the place when it was called “Sal’s”… The thing is, they're in this perfect location in San Clemente, so they don't really need to improve. It's like when you're the only gas station for 50 miles. You can be rude to everybody because what are they gonna do push their car home? The outdoor seating though, that was really nice. I sat out there for a while just watching people walk by. Some guy walked past with a parrot on his shoulder. Just a regular Tuesday in San Clemente I guess. In Mexico, I’m pretty sure that would make him a drug dealer. They have this selection of mochas that's pretty impressive. I tried one with some kind of hazelnut thing in it. It was good. Not "text your mom about it" good, but definitely "nod your head while you're drinking it" good. The big issue is they don't have Wi-Fi. In 2025. I asked the waiter about it, and he looked at me like I'd asked if I could borrow his teleportation booth. He said, "No, we want people to connect with each other." Which is a nice thought, but I was alone, so I just connected with my phone data plan instead. Burned through like half my monthly allowance looking at pictures of men wearing parrots. So yeah, three stars. Would I go back? Probably. Would I remember I've been there before until I saw the man with the parrot? Probably not.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Had lunch at Caterinas today and was really impressed!!! I've enjoyed their yummy Avocado toast for brunch or the authentically Italian gelato before but had never eaten lunch there. The hubster and I had the Italian Sub and the Turkey Avo Panini, respectively. Both were mouthwateringly Deee-lish!!!! I mean as good as the best deli sandwich you've had since your last trip to NYC!! Seriously!! Added bonus was the ocean peeping through the palms. Try it...you won't be sorry.

Cute beachside café and gelato/coffee bar. Good food and Gelato. Unfortunately staff is unable to accept cash if change is required and there is no signage indicating this. Would love to rate higher but this is a deal breaker for me. I was basically forced to pay with a card. Visitors be advised, owners please correct with a clearer policy or signage.

Nestled in the heart of San Clemente, S.C. Cafe is a beloved gem that perfectly captures the laid-back surf culture of the area. This family-owned diner serves up an enticing mix of American and Mexican breakfast favorites, from hearty griddle combos to flavorful huevos rancheros. The inviting atmosphere offers a cozy escape from the nearby Del Mar strip, making it an ideal spot for both locals and visitors alike.
We were in town for an overnight trip and we're looking for a great spot for a good breakfast. We did some searching on Google and found this place and said that it had some good reviews. We decided to give it a shot and the second I saw it and we walked in I knew it was my kind of place. Cozy, quaint, good energy and definitely felt like a good surf spot cafe. The staff was all smiles when we walked in and they came around and told my wife that they liked her coat. They have a lot to choose from in terms of breakfast but I stuck to standard Bacon, eggs, pancakes, hash browns and I got a side of biscuits and gravy. My wife got an omelet and it was gigantic! The food was great and the service was fantastic and we never needed anything because they were right there on top of it. We got some sincere "thank you for coming in" wishes on our way out and it's definitely a place that we would stop again when we go back to San Clemente. They have fresh tortillas and fresh salsa too by the way which is a nice added bonus! I was hoping they had some flavored creamers for the coffee, but that's not a big enough issue for me to complain about it. Overall, everything was great and we will be back.

First visit, nice little neighborhood spot. I had the corned beef hash with eggs and potatoes. No issues except that the toast was served very dry, had to ask for extra spread. Friendly staff, inside and outside seating available. Parking is very tight, only about 5 spaces available. Would be willing to return in the future.

Hello, this is your standard donut shop although the donuts are very good and I appreciated that they let us know when they had fresh ham and cheese croissants out the oven. It was pretty bustling on a Sunday morning. The coffee is not fancy and they don't carry any sugar-free syrup or sweet and low/sugar substitute but all in all you go here for a doughnut and you'll get a great one.

SC Café is a delightful find in San Clemente, offering a charming escape from the bustling Del Mar strip. The local vibe of the place immediately won us over, making it a refreshing change of pace. One of the highlights is the dog-friendly patio, which makes it an ideal spot for pet owners. The food was fantastic! I enjoyed a delicious omelette paired with perfectly crispy potatoes. My husband opted for the tuna melt, which came with fries that were just the right level of crispiness. We also had a side of fresh fruit that truly lived up to its name – fresh and flavorful. The service was excellent, contributing to our thoroughly enjoyable experience. SC Café has definitely earned a spot on our list of go-to places, and we’re looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended for anyone seeking great food in a relaxed, local setting!

food was okay but the man taking my order told me "sorry, we're not white-washed we're only Mexican here." after I asked him if they had an Avacado Green Salsa. He didn't smile once during the whole 2 minute ordeal and I don't feel welcomed back. p.s. the salsa I was referring to is exactly from Mexico, however the 2 CALIFORNIA burritos he served me were 100% not from Mexico.

This place used to be one of my favorites. I live 2 hours away from here but when I come to the area we used to come here. I haven't been here in about 5 years. We ordered four different things and it was pretty bad. The burritos have definitely downsized and the quality of meat is horrible. The food was barely edible and we are not that picky. Especially the carne asada burrito we said light beans. It was a bean burrito basically with a Sprinkle of low quality carne asada. Very disappointing. We will never be coming back. To top it off they have no seating and took away all the tables and chairs that used to be outside for this place. I do not recommend.

FIRST….CALL IN YOUR ORDER!! This place is busy!! After searching for the absolute best Mexican food in San Clemente I AM HAPPY TO SAY… we have FINALLY FOUND IT!!!! With an outstanding staff working so hard in the kitchen to get orders made. We were told their guacamole is the absolute best you will ever have. Today we ordered a Machaca burrito and the Fajita Burrito… BOTH was so flavorful that we didn’t even need salsa to go with it. Extremely affordable and customer service is outstanding. You have a Counter cashier . Their outdoor tables still aren’t set up so you’ll be taking your order to go. We absolutely can not wait to go back and try out other items on their HUGE menu!!! Take note; they aren’t taking phone orders on Christmas Eve. I wish I could give this place 10 stars!!

The Owners/Staff were very friendly from the time I took 1 step into their door. This was my first time here since I am visiting my family here in California from Pennsylvania. The food was delicious and came to me nice and hot as well as my coffee. When I finished EVERYTHING on my plate which was eggs, sausage, hashbrowns and a bagel with cream cheese, I was so full and very sleepy. I would definitely and highly recommend eating HERE instead of the other breakfast places nearby. You will thoroughly enjoy your meal.

Mediocre at best. We came here for breakfast. Had to go outside to look at the breakfast sign they set out every day. The food was ok. But very expensive for what we got! Huevas rancheros was very disappointing. Wasn't good at all. Avocado toast just didn't have much on it. Breakfast burrito was a bit bland. And we also had the pancakes with eggs and bacon, 2 coffees and 2 sunny side up eggs ($2each). Over $70. There are nicer restaurants in the area with better food, great atmosphere and are sit-down that's cheaper than this. Service was great though. Very friendly.

I love this place. I’ve been coming here since it was captain culver’s…. Over 20 years ago… and the things I’m obsessed with are: 1. Bombay Melt (curried chicken with secret Bali sauce, tomato, onion, and cheese atop an English muffin) served with soup of the day, green salad, or potato salad 2. POG- passionfruit, orange, guava juice. They also have delicious smoothies. The place is owned by Mauricio but you’ll often find his daughters working the restaurant. :) They are lovely people with excellent customer service. You can sit inside or outside. It’s a very laid back vibe. You order at the counter, and then they will bring your food out to you or call you when it’s ready. The only thing you need to know, is sometimes they close a little early.. even though their hours are usually till 16:00, I’ve found them closed at 15:00 or 15:30. I suspect it all depends on how busy they are. So, if you want an afternoon snack, I recommend you call ahead to make sure they are still open.

This fast-food chain offers a variety of items like sandwiches, poultry, Mexican food, and morning meals. While they may not be particularly friendly, they are also not impolite. One can sympathize with their challenging work environment near the noisy freeway. Nevertheless, they remain patient even when asked to repeat due to soft-spoken customers. It is clear that the crew is hardworking as well as efficient and courteous. They readily accommodate requests and serve hot and fresh food consistently.

I ordered some food tonight on the jack app I see commercials about, and it said to pick up at 9:26, literally in ten minutes from when I ordered. I throw on shoes hop on the bike and am down there in literally 5 minutes to discover the doors are already locked at 920, and the drive-thru line was packed since it's friday night. The last time this happened, I showed the manager my phone receipt and pointed to the bycycle, and she just came to door and handed me my food, which I didn't know why they wouldn't do, and told me to go wait in drive-thru after smirking at me with the other employees smiling as well. I went to the drive-thru window after they served the car and excused myself from the next car, and yelled through the window. "I'm on a bike, and can they just hand me my food, NOPE!! I asked car at the window if they could grab my food, and they shook their head and said they couldn't help me and to go wait in line laughing as well. I am getting frustrated at the sheer laziness of these employees, and the closing of the lobby before 10 pm on a friday night is really lazy. I waited another few minutes, and an employee literally came to the door without my food and said lobby is closed, and he couldn't help ne amd to go wait in drive-thru. Shocked, I told all of them to keep my food and left as I saw the police pulling up. I flagged him down, and he said he couldn't do anything and to wait in line. I asked on my bike? I told him to hell with the food and thanked him for nothing. I will never be back to this restaurant again and already filed a complaint with the corporation. I hole you fire all the employees last night working because they all deserve it. Here's who you have as the face of your franchise, pure laziness and lack of etiquette or manners.

If I could give zero stars, I would. The place smells like swer. You need a code to use the bathroom and when I asked for the code, the guy, who was missing his front upper tooth, told me that the bathroom code was in the receipt. I couldn't find it in the receipt and I used the receipt number to try to open the bathroom, but it didn't work. After the second time that I went to the front register to ask for the code, then he pointed where it was in the receipt. The bathrooms were dirty and smelly. Our order was wrong and it took a while to get the food that we actually ordered. Such a bad experience, we stopped by on our way home from Tijuana. We were hungry, thirsty and wanted to use the bathroom. Don't ever stop there.

The person who took our order was so rude. We asked what kind of meat was in the taco and he said he didn't know. We asked if it was meat and he said he only knew that it contained soy. We asked him if we could speak to the manager to see if he or she knew and a said "no one knows. It's not possible."

All the times, I had been served by the same person who I think is the owner of this location. I had been a regular customer of this location for so long. In fact I went there during the morning prime hours. They are taking advantage of the fact that there is not another location close enough and they take regular customers for granted.

This Dunkin’ is my neighborhood cafe. Easy access to I-5 . Plenty of free parking spaces. Always stocked with all donuts 🍩 flavors and muffins. My flavors are the blueberry muffins and Bavarian cream with Dunkin’ coffee. Although they have a beautiful seating area inside, the patio is very nice as well. Beautiful mountain 🏔 view from the patio facing 24 hours fitness

First time ever ordering from Dunkin Donuts and i hate to say this, but it was AWFUL. I ordered two blended Mocha coffees which were funky tasting (almost too syrup-y),one chocolate chip muffin (hard and almost bitter tasting like a display item), two sausage, egg, and cheese croissants (my boyfriend and I both took ONE night each and spit them back out) & a maple bar donut that was SO dry and just plain gross. The maple frosting flaked off practically!! (how they screwed up a maple bar donut is beyond me!) Bummed out I spent $24 on junk

Sophia at the DD off McIntyre made my morning! I had dirty hands and she opened the bathroom door for me to wash them. She checked to see if there was any pumpkin left for my Chai. I told her my mom was sick and she gave me her favorite donut. I was having a rough morning and just her little gesture really brightened my day!

The lady at the front taking orders was so rude. Not only to me, but to other customers, she was being extremely combative and belittling. Unfortunately she had zero customer service skills. I walked out without even making an order as she was yelling at a previous customer for a mistake that she had made on his order. I can guarantee you I will take my business to any donut store other than dunkin.

Rockwell's Bakery is a cozy spot with a nice atmosphere and excellent service. The food is traditional and delicious, offering options like the vegetarian Mediterranean omelette, cinnamon rolls, fruit tart with a whipped cream base, and baked goods. The coffee has great flavor and freshness. While the wait time can vary, the overall experience is pleasant with good food and friendly service. Additionally, they offer a variety of pastries and even have a full bar for patrons to enjoy.
Just stopped in for a quick drink while showing my Mom who is new the area and came upon this great little Cafe Bakery & Bar. Mom had a coffee & lemon square while I enjoyed a Long Island Iced Tea & iced Oatmeal cookie. Great service atmosphere & terrific treats. I look forward to coming back for a real meal as everything on the menu looks wonderful & reasonable! Just FYI, there is a great Cars n Coffee crowd on Saturdays too 9-11. Enjoy!

Such a nice spot. Loved the food, I had the vegetarian Mediterranean omelette and substituted tomatoes for spinach and 10/10 will get that again. The cinnamon rolls are fire 🔥 just ask for them to be slightly heated. I also tried the fruit tart and it is a whipped cream base not custard making it a bit lighter but no tart taste to it. I am looking forward to trying more pastries next time.

This was my first time here, and I ordered the Huevos Rancheros, which were really good. The sauce was tasty but not spicy at all. The Cajun country potatoes that came with my order were pretty dry and had little to no seasoning. They were more like chips than a side of country potatoes. Overall, a good dish. I also got to try their pancakes, which were okay. They were fluffy but lacked flavor and sweetness. Service was prompt. Staff was friendly, but not necessarily attentive.
Joselyn M — Google review
The server was distracted. My bacon was overcooked extra crispy. The toast the same. The sunnyside eggs the albumin edge crispy which means excessive quick heat singed. My guest said that's the way a lot of people like their breakfast. Not me. Both our kids would say the toast was burnt. Plentiful hash browns but undercooked, the center was just past raw. I ate it all anyways waste not want not just not more. French toast and a side of sausages. I should have ordered those items, they were not overcooked. In fact the thick stubby sausages I expected the casing to be hard and inside to be raw but surprisingly the saysage was better than expected maybe precooked? I visited the bakery display and asked a question and I did get a hurried reply but no one asked if I wanted anything.. I can see how this joint might be an appealing restaurant I am just not sure it rubbed me the right way.

I'm delighted to have discovered Chaupain Bakery while exploring downtown San Clemente. This charming bakery offers a variety of delectable pastries that are both fresh and delicious. I had the pleasure of trying their strawberry envelope, which contained luscious strawberries and a perfectly sweet cream filling. Additionally, I indulged in their chocolate hazelnut tart, featuring a crispy crust and a well-balanced combination of chocolate and hazelnut flavors.

We headed to this bakery for lunch on a Sunny Californian Sunday and were very impressed. I am always looking for places where you can grab really high quality lunches. The inside area is clean and well-presented, and there is space outside to sit on the street to eat. The food was really outstanding. We had two of their sandwiches (the club and the vegetable). It's rare to buy sandwiches and find that the bread is high-quality enough to comment on, but this place truly achieved that. Their demi-baguette was delicious, with a crisp crust and a chewy inside. They took care with their fillings too, and the sauces they used were tasteful. My husband had a cherry danish too, and he commented on how flavourful this was. We would definitely return if we were back in the area.

Like all Starbucks, this place is super busy in the morning. The average wait time is about 3-5 minutes at around 9am. This location is clean and the service is quick and pleasant. If they should mess up your order, they are quick to make it right with an apology, the correct order and if you're lucky, a free or reduced price drink. IF YOU'RE LUCKY. THAT IS NOT THE NORM! I would recommend this location, because although busy, they are fairly fast and it clears out quick after the morning rush. Large location.

I love the chili cheese fries and the carne asada tacos! If I am looking for a late night snack, this place is the very first fast-food restaurant that comes to my head for that snack. I wish more people would apply here because the last time I was at the drive-thru, there was only one cashier on duty who had to multi-task with cashiering people in the restaurant and taking drive-thru orders.

I asked for well done fries and they didn't do well done. I asked for mild sauce and I got Del Scorcho. I ordered a raspberry tea and it was really watered down. The tacos just aren't the same.

We choose to have a few of their box lunches... Which are amazingly good. Also reasonably priced. Also had the Dell races with sour cream and a chicken quesadilla. Nice. The mini Churros and donut holes tasted a bit premade and were small to boot . Is give them a pass and go to an ice cream shop afterwards if you have the yearning for a topper. The service was polite and with alacrity. The entire area was clean and freeway close. Enjoy.

Lousy del taco. I ordered a number 13 which is the del beef burrito which is usually what I always order except this time it was literally skinnier than a bean and cheese burrito. I literally ate it in three bites. Fries weren’t cooked long enough either. Pretty lame considering how much del taco charges now for food. This combo not only used to be cheaper by a few dollars but also came with a del taco. There just taking advantage of people at this point. Inflation isn’t an excuse anymore

My family chose McDonald’s but I don’t really like McDonald’s. We used the drive thru , which has two order stands. We went on the second far to the right and turns out when we went to window to pay for our order, the order wasn’t taken, they asked us like three times if we ordered , I don’t see why we would pull up to the window without ordering but hey it happens. Then we give the attendant our order and we ordered dr. Pepper as one of our drinks but turns out our attendant made it a diet dr.pepper.

I went to mcdonald’s for a good snack before heading out of town for a month. All i wanted was 2 cones and a free dry from my app. I gave my code with the fries and ordered 2 cones then get up to pay and am charged 9$. You would think all three items were included, but no. Only a fry and 1 cone was given AND my fries were NOT FREE. I asked for my other cone and he said you only ordered one. No i did not. I asked for another one and he made me pay for his mistake. The fries were 1 not free and 2 they were cold and stale and not salted. (the cones were also stale). not reliable anymore 🥲

I don’t write reviews or ask for a drink remake but this time the drink was unacceptably gross. Not only was the drink so pale and watered down the service was terrible. The teenage girl was so rude, unprofessional, not mannered, and untrained. When we were nicely asking to remake the drink she looked me in the eyes and completely ignored me until I told her she’s so rude. The teenage girl didn’t even remake the drink or do anything it was the other employee that had to remake the drink for me and actually talk to me. I confronted her in the nicest way and even after she was so rude when I was ordering the drink for the first time. I wouldn’t usually care about this but she was so rude to my little sister.

I’m an avid Chick Fil A customer and love all their food. Also they have the best Diet Coke mixture anywhere. Generally they’re perfect in service but this is the 3rd time I’ve ordered the large hash browns at breakfast and they filled up the box half way. When I get the regular size there’s as much yet with the large they charge more and have given less multiple times. A few months ago they would almost overstuff the box and then suddenly they started short packing so it seems intentional. Is this another scenario where a company is trying to save money? In the end, I just want what I paid for and once I’ve driven several miles and realize this it’s not worth going back of course. Otherwise everything else is great.
OCMotivator — Google review
So, I’m not a fan of fast food but my family loves it. The first time we went here about a year ago, they messed up our entire order. We had to drive back and it was a hassle. They handed us some free sandwich passes. I forgot to use one, even though we’ve been since, and found in when cleaning our house. We went to use it and waited in the car line. First, the iPad the young man was using didn’t work. The next worker told me the pass had expired and that I could ask a manager. I did, only to be told they wouldn’t honor it. Now, I was not asking for anything extra or special, just for what was intended—the replacement sandwich. It just wasn’t good customer service. We bought two alternate meals and did the same last week. After seeing how cheap the company and location is, and how little they care about the customer experience, we will not eat here again. This is a good reminder to make a good experience for people. It was really humiliating. I didn’t know the pass they gave me would expire.

The staff was amazing!! So polite and accommodating! The food was hot when we got it and tasted delectable! This was truly a 10/10 experience! 🤩

This is by far the worst Chick-fil-A I've been to. I come here weekly because it is close to my work and I'm not even exaggerating.....my order is wrong EVERY TIME. Ask for extra pickles on my sandwich? Get none. Ask for 2 buffalo sauces? Get 1 buffalo, 1 chick-fil-a sauce. Order an ice cream cone only through the app? Wait 10 minutes and get an extremely stale cone. Ask for no tomatoes on my salad? Get extra tomatoes. Lucky for me I eat in my car in the parking lot, so as soon as I park and notice my order is wrong I can just walk inside, but I would be extra pissed off I drove off missing stuff or had an incorrect order like other people mentioned. It also smells like nasty feet every time I come inside this place. Looks like there are many poor reviews about the same things. Wish the manager or owner actually cared about this place.

Have you ever felt stuck in life? Want to re-live it? Come order basic food on a Saturday morning in the drive-through line. It takes forever, and there is no escape.

We used the drive-thru and placed two completely separate orders, clearly stating that they were on different accounts. When we got to the window to pay, the orders were already messed up. We had to re-order everything at the window. Salmia, the employee helping us, was kind enough to read both orders back to us, and they seemed correct at the time. However, when we received the food, none of the items matched what we had ordered—again. It was extremely frustrating and a complete waste of time. Be cautious when visiting this location, especially if you're placing more than one order. The staff needs better organization and attention to detail

Excellent customer service! Team Leader Diego was so friendly and helpful! He even introduced us to a new sauce! (Try the honey mustard BBQ)... So many employees working non stop makes the wait almost non existent... Great system for drive through, pick up and walk in ordering... And who doesn't love the food here?!?!

I had such a great experience at this coffee shop! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff was friendly and attentive. I ordered snickerdoodle latte and it was absolutely perfect. The shop was clean, cozy, and a great spot to relax or get some work done. Definitely my new go-to spot for coffee when I’m in town. Highly recommend!

I ordered a cold brew here with cold foam. The foam wasn't terrible but the coffee was too watered down to be called coffee anymore. One member of my party said the better breakfast sandwich was more bread than anything else. The other member of my party got a latte and feta avocado toast. She was not impressed with either. For what it costs, you're really better off going to Starbucks. This place is trying to coast on the fact it's cute inside and makes for good instagram pictures. Unfortunately the product is weak and costs too much for what it is.

Wonderful experience all around, I came inside with my family and it was a really clean place. We bought a hat and a sweatshirt along with various food items and drinks. Steven suggested we get the feta avocado deluxe with bacon and that was really good paired up with my raspberry blondie best drink ever. Definitely coming back.

Service was great. Super nice staff. My cappuccino however was horrible. It wasn't made that badly but the beans used just made it an acidic disaster. Switch to a better roaster and I think this place could do well.
