“Coffee was good and beignet was a bonus!! I went there during summer (I should’ve added this review sooner) and AC wasn’t on or not working well and bit warmer inside. However, coffee and food was so good I forgive that part.It looked like the shop was one man show. A guy doing what he knows and enjoying it.Did I say beignet was really good?! Lol”
“Emily took care of us tonight, she was of great service and recommended great food and drinks! Great atmosphere as it wasn’t too busy, we sat outside next to the fire, and listened to the waves crash!”
“Coming to a restaurant such as this, one expects good food, and we were not disappointed. On top of that the Service was exceptional, our waiter was very attentive, polite and brought us everything we asked for. We have eaten at the vast majority of restaurants in Laguna Beach. My wife and I were impressed, and would certainly rank this restaurant in the top 5 in the city. Thanks for a great meal and excellent service!! We will be back!”
“This place may be close to the best brunch I've had almost ever. Every thing on their breakfast menu was great!Parking: Try to find parking near the streets, 30min limit on weekdays and a 3 hour limit on weekends.”
“This Zagat-rated barbecue joint serves legit dry-rubbed, smoked meats in the Texas style. True to down, the meats are so tasty and tender you won't need barbecue sauce, but they provide it if you prefer - I used some on the tri-tip. Prepare to wait in line, especially during peak hours. We waited about 35 minutes in line and we got there around 2:30pm on a Sunday. They also have a separate bar where they serve hard lemonade and a few other drinks and beer. I highly recommend this place and it's definitely one we would always visit again.”
“So - I was skeptical, but one sip of the oat milk late has won me over. It is that good. (Oat milk mocha was $7, but 1- it’s that much a lot of places nowadays, and 2- it was a PERFECT mocha. Take my money.)I was surprised by the atmosphere, it’s like being in a lived-in living room, but it’s part of the charm. Good coffee, good service, and welcoming environment.”
“This is by far one of the best experiences. My husband and I travel all over the world . My daughter is now attending college in Laguna. We now can say this is one of our favorite spot to eat in the world. The chef prepares everything with precision. The staff is kind . You MUST try Rebel for lunch or dinner !!”
“My Cousin Kathy enjoyed a great birthday dinner. The complimentary appetizer was delicious. She said her salad was very good and my tomato soup was unique, thick, and flavorful. We both had Chilean Sea Bass. It was outstanding! The Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Crumble - apple strudel ice cream & bourbon caramel sauce was terrific! Very flavorful Her's was served with a birthday candle.The main dining room looked newly decorated. It has a very comfortable ambiance, and steps must have been taken to reduce the noise level. I am hearing impaired and have a cochlear implant, yet Kathy and I had no difficulty conversing. Our waitress, Justess was delightful - friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. As a result, our evening was very special!”
“The owner of the bakery is such a lovely gentleman, and literally everything I've ever had from here has been absolutely delicious. Even coming in later in the day, there's always a great selection of delicious treats, and excellent service. As a long time aficionado of BREAD over in Santa Ana, I have to say....I come to Saffron for my baguettes now. No shade to bread, they're still amazing! But the baguette here is worthy of it's own review!”
“We are so glad we stopped by here on our road trip as we had the best pizza in Cali so far! Love the options and flavours. Highly recommend the Stingray pizza which is prepared with a drizzle of citrus honey to balance the heat from the jalapeños. We also loved the Boho salad which was crunchy and came with super flavourful chicken. We finished our meal with the perfect dessert - delicious and light Tiramisu. Love this place! Great food and the staff are attentive to your needs and are so warm and friendly.”
“Limoncello is one of our favorite places to eat. The food is amazing, the service is warm and attentive, and we always leave happy. I’m a sticker when it comes to Italian food and this place is truly authentic. The best!”
“The food lived up to the hype. Everything was fresh and the flavor was so good and simple. I usually like a lot of sauces and layers to this type of food but this was my favorite simple chicken wrap. 10/10 recommend.”
“An absolute hidden gem! A wonderful blend of flavors, textures, and served up with friendly hospitality. Chilaquiles are a “must try!” We look forward to returning and trying other delectable delights!”
“Thank so much for wonderful service and food. Robert is top notch doing it all, phone orders, in person and helping all customers In between. We can deal with the price because the service is so nice.”
“Atmosphere when you walk in was fantastic. Nice wooden finishes, smell of a wood burning pizza oven, music, if you want energy, this is your place. Food was great, pizza of the day you probabaly want to get, wine is in the title so can’t go wrong with any wine on the menu. Stop in! You won’t regret. Staff are also all local and cool people.”
“This place is OUTSTANDING in every aspect.Outside, it is an average small storefront. Inside, you are transported to a place of reverence and calm. A full offering of lovingly prepared Italian dishes and many wines. The menu takes up the entire back wall. I've been here many times in the last 5 years. 100% happy every time.”
“Can't say enough good things about this place. The fruit is so delicious and fresh. The people working are always welcoming and kind. They're quick to make everything and it's consistently 10/10. SO GOOD. I'm obsessed.”
“Shrimp tacos were our favorite. Also, we really like the Beria and the fried fish We also loved the nachos and even better was the drink of the day which was pineapple Fresca so, so good. Service was very good. I think our server was Alicia, but I could have the name wrong. She was a young girl,and she was very wonderful and she had her hair in a bun. The only thing that could possibly improve is having may be a little less spicy salsa or pico for the people who don’t like too much spice. Wonderful seafood, can’t wait to try more dishes.”
“Cute little place, both me and the wife ordered the O'Brian and added sausage, spinach tomatoes and guacamole.Food came out quick but it was missing the guacamole. I ordered my eggs with it over medium they came over easy, and the wife ordered scrambled it came out looking like a pancake.Despite all that the food was really good. The place was a revolving door and they were super busy. I would recommend trying it out if you are in the area”
“Wow, what a fabulous restaurant located within the Montage Laguna Beach. We dined on the outdoor deck at the Loft. The views, food, and service were all amazing. We couldn't recommend this establishment highly enough. It's a great special occasion type place to visit.”
“Great coffee, great service. Very unique roast-to-order service, don’t know of anywhere else in the area that has anything like this. They’re always friendly and happy to answer any questions.”
“What a wonderful experience. The macadamia encrusted halibut special was wonderful, but the star of the show was the seafood pasta. We were thinking about it throughout the weekend. The service here is so wonderful. Couldn't recommend this place more if I tried.”
“This place is a total gem. Came in on a quiet Sunday evening to dine. Our waiter and the cook were very friendly and welcomed us in. We ordered the hot and sour soup, general tso chicken and the Mongolian beef. We absolutely loved the soup and the dishes were really tasty with a good size portion and the breading was very nice on the chicken. We will definitely be back for more good food. ?”
“Great people with great food and great spot, all in one place.Vegetarian options: They tried their vegetarian omelette and it is great.Parking: I usually park right by the residential street for free and walk for 2 minutes to the restaurant.”
“Our server missed a few items: missed a side dish substitution; brought wine at the same time as the entree; didn't acknowledge it was a birthday; didn't process gift certificate before running our credit card. Everything else was great!”
“The only bad thing that happened was the salad I ordered had two kinds of olives. Black with no pits, and green with pits. I hurt my teeth, biting into one with a pit.”
“I go here basically everyday with my sister and they never fail! We both get the same drink every time and am obsessed! We will continue to go here forever! The workers, environment, and service is top tier! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!Kid-friendliness: Everything about the workers and environment is perfect for any age!Wheelchair accessibility: They have wheelchair accessible tables which were helpful when I fractured my foot!”
“What a wonderful surprise stopping by here after the gym thinking I was going to get different options of Gyro and Rice and there were so many offerings that were very healthy and appetizing. I ordered the Zoodles with the Salmon protein option and it was delicious. It was also a nice surprise that they serve equally yummy breakfast options all day long. I have my close to home healthy go to option that does not compromise on taste and plenty of variety.”
“We did Door dash for pick up. I personally didn't care for the spicy sauce on the spicy green beans so if I order them again I'd get just the green beans, BUT that's a personal preference. The turkey pot pie was good especially because it was dairy free and I don't usually get to have dairy free pot pie. My family was impressed with the mashed potatoes. If you order a Bite Box it is a single side and a main. The Single Box requires three sides, which is a lot even too much food for lunch or a light dinner. (We were ordering online on DoorDash for the first time so we were confused about how to order just one side and one main but we eventually figured it out.) It was a good healthy lunch and I appreciated that they do dairy free food quickly. It was fast.Vegetarian options: You can specify vegetarian or veganDietary restrictions: Dairy free and Vegan options”
“We had an amazing meal - the sashimi was melt in your mouth fresh and delicious, salmon teriyaki was nicely seasoned and cooked well. Mochi ice cream was a nice end to the meal.”
