“Nice brunch place that has the classics and specialities, with a Filipino and even American trendy brunch style twist, but at slightly lower to comparable prices to other brunch spots.Everything we tried was done perfectly, I especially loved the Birria chilaquiles ($18, not too bad a price for being a huge, shareable portion). We liked the ube cold brew ($7) and even the regular hot coffee (only $3) was very good, as was the ube horchata ($4).The online waitlist is a nice feature, we joined the waitlist on the way over around 9:30 a.m. on a Sunday and were seated immediately“
“Excellent breakfast option in the Irvine and Tustin area. French style cafe with a wide variety of foods, coffees and desserts. I recommend arriving early, the approximate wait in the mornings is 30 minutes to 1 hour. The service is very different from what they provide in the USA, if they clean your table between meals and offer you additional items. Highly recommended“
“1st time here from a friend suggestion- food excellent, pancakes were in top 10% and would be hard not to order again. Maybe try French Toast next time or the great looking waffle.Nina was patient and attentive wile waiting tables solo with a fairly full house. Good sense of humor.Will be adding Orange Cafe to breakfast haunts.-Rich“
“Server: Madison - She's so amazing and lovely and attentive (but not overly)! Also, a winning personality and very hospitable. Food: 1) House Burger w/ Gluten Free Bun - So tasty! The chef(s) are absolute flavor artists. Love is in all their food creations. (Gluten free bun is NOT dull and dry, it's one of the good ones). 2) Crispy Rice/Spicy Albacore - Dude, what the heck!? We've had these apps at every restaurant that has them and for me this was the best creation/version. It was diced fish, not 'finely minced' like other places, with yummy sauce and red pepper flakes (nice touch!) on immaculately seared rice patties! Ambiance: Outdoor eating area has heaters for when it's chillier, and it's very floral and nature'y. Lovely! Prices:Reasonable for the level of effort put into the food! Love this place.“
“A great breakfast spot. Busy yet quick to serve. They mean business :-). Serving up breakfast quick without making guests feel rushed. Delicious, will be back. The staff kindly greeted us, apologized for the wait, then served up our meals in a snap.“
“I've been here twice so far and have yet to be disappointed. I love to go for brunch so that's where most of my experience focuses on. They have unique and super yummy options. The waffle and french toast are both great. My friend even got the gluten free waffle and loved it, said she was still thinking about it two days later. I know it's a weird thing to focus on, but also love their bacon...it's so crispy and thin, which is great. It's a super cute atmosphere, inside and out. Very dog friendly with the patio seating and the service is always amazing. Super attentive and friendly. Always feel welcomed. I could go on and on...just give it a try, you won't be disappointed.Dietary restrictions: They seem to have a wide variety of dietary restriction options, gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, etc.Parking: It's downtown Santa Ana so parking is paid, but at least it's less expensive than LA parking. Both street and a parking garage are nearby, very walkable“
“I'm writing this review with a sight hesitation. You know the feeling you get when you like something so much you want it all for yourself? Sunny on South gave me that feeling. I went there for breakfast twice in one month, which is too often for me. I want this place to be there for me from now on, but I don't want to have to wait 45 minutes for a table. However, the wait will be worth it! This place has amazing food and great service! The first time I went I had the Short Rib Birria Benedict (ridiculous)! And I asked the waitress to leave the menu so I could see what else was available. As I was eating I found myself wondering what I was going to order the next time I went. I'm a sucker for a Reuben sandwich and they have a Monte Cristo! That's what I had the second time. The Monte Cristo says they "politely decline substitutions" because they prepare them in-house ahead of time. How bad-ass is that?! The service was friendly and attentive...and the 90's/2000's music made me want to hang out and enjoy a great morning. It's easy to give a restaurant 5 stars when they are good and down the street, so I rarely give 5 stars. But this place gets 5 stars because it's worth going out of your way to eat there. YOU HAVE TO GO!“
“10/10 actually 20/10. This place is amazing. I literally don't have one complaint, If you're considering eating here just do it. You won't be disappointed! Pictured: tiramisu coffee Chicken & waffles Benedict Kimchi rice BLT Jam sandwich“
“I loved Nikki’s! We were on vacation and planned the restaurants we wanted to try well in advance prior to based on reviews and research. I’m so glad we made this one—it was really good! From the fast, friendly service to the well portioned and fresh food, I would recommend Nikki’s for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Generous portions and reasonably priced. #Delish:)!I’m annoyed with myself for forgetting the name of the lovely young lady that took our order. She was extremely nice and made my family feel welcomed!“
“Great little brunch spot! They seem to be known for their shaved ice but their breakfast items are amazing! The avo toast has delicious ricotta on top. They also have an amazing french toast and other items. The macaron flavors are also super underrated! It's about $45-50 for a couple with coffee drinks and breakfast.“
“Honestly the name says it all, this place is definitely a great joy to have a bite at. Cozy and at the same time cute and warm.I think this is a must visit when coming to down town Fullerton.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetation and vegan selectionParking: Free street parking if 15 min or 2 hours and parking lot a little far from the place but decent distance.“
“Nestled in the heart of a bustling plaza, Early Bird is a culinary gem that stands out for its unique blend of Peruvian and American dining experiences. My wife and I decided to visit this popular spot for brunch, intrigued by its promise of a fusion menu that piqued our culinary curiosity.Upon arrival, we were immediately struck by the vibrant atmosphere of the restaurant. Despite its popularity, which was evident from the hour-long wait for a table, the plaza offered ample parking. However, due to the restaurant’s busy nature, we found ourselves parking further away than anticipated. Early Bird utilizes a phone texting system to manage its queue, though in practice, it seemed they preferred the traditional method of calling out names. This slight disconnect in their seating process led to a longer wait for us, possibly exacerbated by a mix-up with another guest sharing my name.Once seated, the service quickly took a turn for the better. The staff was attentive and efficient, ensuring that our food arrived promptly after we ordered. The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the Lomo Saltado, a Peruvian classic that was executed with a flair that married well with the American dining style Early Bird aims to fuse. The flavors were robust and satisfying, a testament to the kitchen’s skill and creativity.However, despite the delightful culinary experience, the cost of the meal gave us pause. The pricing at Early Bird is on the higher side, especially when compared to other brunch offerings in the area. While we understand the premium ingredients and unique culinary fusion may warrant higher prices, we felt that the value proposition could be better balanced to reflect the overall dining experience.“
“came on a sunday & was able to get seated right away due to opting for an outdoor table. Food was phenomenal & one of the best flavors I've had in awhile. I got the breakfast bowl & the taste was just awesome. Inside was super crowded so glad we sat outside. Waiters were okay, but the food made it worth while. I would definitely recommend despite it being on the pricier side.“
“Atmosphere is cute and clean. The food is a bit bland and didn't meet my expectations but I'm glad I at least tried the food. I wouldn't recommend coming here but it's always good to try new places. So just don't come in expecting the best tasting food.“
“My aunt I came for the first time.I do therapy next door so I thought I try for BD celebration.Wow, never heard of this place.The chicken and waffles qhere so good.I had the coconut orange juice. Very delicious.Now my kids are taking me for BD in the Downey one.Praying they are just as good.“
“Food was great, service was immediate and top notch. Food came out quick. Went outside to have some coffee and water afterwards and enjoy the sun and felt very comfortable despite the speeding cars and traffic zooming by. Great patio space. Recommend for lunchtime with co workers and friends when rushed.“
“The STAFF are friendly, productive, helpful and attentive. The decor and vibe inside is cool. The wife got UBE BLUEBERRY FRENCH TOAST. She destroyed her plate and loved it. I got a minute taste and I can see why. I opted for the ORANGE CHICKEN AND WAFFLE w/vanilla butter (specks of vanilla bean in it) and maple syrup. The chicken was nicely cooked and it had a thicker darker tasty breaded crust on it. The butter is not sweet or overly bold with vanilla but vanilla is a softer scent and flavor oftentimes. It adds a very nice touch to this combo of sniffs and tastes. A great rendition of this brunch classic. RATING = A VANILLA LATTE (HOT): -- good vanilla sniff and taste -- quality coffee -- I have never heard of Jone's Coffee Roasters but I saw the bag on their shelving so I will look into it online. They have other tasty beverages they offer including alcoholic creations. The lines are not short, especially on a Saturday, so plan accordingly. Thankfully they under promised and over delivered on the wait time so we ate sooner than anticipated.“
“Just want to give a shout out to the staff works here their friendly very helpful but I'm here for the food I always order the breakfast bagel with a vanilla latte very tasty the ingredients are from the chart just done right/ thank you to the workers for Their good service, they are friendly, how delicious the food is, ordered the breakfast bagel and a vanilla latte. The ingredients are so fresh, delicious, I recommend this place to everyone.“
