44 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Irvine

“I love the cool clean freshness of modern architecture and light the restaurant provides; with a decided touch of old ranch atmosphere; you can be left alone to yourself, or join in community. The food is varied, always fresh, healthy, creative modern nouvelle cuisine along with more traditional dishes, the ingredients definitely high quality -California Sunshine. If you really wish to muse, meditate, read, or silently work, the place is surrounded by little nooks and crannies in the midst of nature. You can even lull yourself to a nap, abandoning all care for a few precious minutes. Or else you can sit outside in community, perhaps choosing a more intimate table conversational setting on certain days, resolving the woes or the theories our world is constructed on. All together a complete experience🙏 Thank you.“

“I rate their vegan dish a ten, with ten being the highest.“

“Service is quick and friendly. I order regular fries and got a fruit cup. The fruit is always fresh and the fries are nice a crispy. Plus they have all the soccer game at the bar which is a big plus for entertainment. Hopefully they will play all the games for the World Cup 2026.“

“Solid Taiwan breakfast fare. I love coming here for salty soybean milk (though I wish they put more goodies inside), mantou, scallion pancakes, egg pancakes, radish cakes, rice rolls wth pork floss, and a variety of Taiwanese buns.

The food quality doesn't come close to what you can get in Taiwan (obviously), but it certainly hits the spot when in the US.

Service can be a bit slow sometimes, and maybe a bit gruff. The restaurant atmosphere is also very basic - like a cafeteria lacking in personality.“

“Coffee is really good! The turkish bagel (Simit) is THE best in California!!! We got a turkish breakfast plate, shakshuka, and the cheese omelette and everything was amazing. Great service and the owner is super cute :)
They also have amazing eclairs - a must try!“

“Delicious way for us to end our trip in LA before going to the airport! I ordered chilaquiles with steak and hashbrowns and it was divine. My friend also enjoyed his meal, which was an omelet with veggies and hollandaise. Our waitress was nice and attentive too!
Pricey but very good - I also have to remember everything in CA is more pricey so maybe a $21 breakfast plate is tyoical. I'd come again though.“

“Woohoo! This was an AWESOME meal! Service was helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive! Our entire table only ate pizza or chicken pot pie! Everyone finished their plates!!! Yum! we did manage to squeeze in dessert and it was worth it!!! 10/10 will be back again. Shout-out to our amazing server Kaitlyn!!! 🤓♥️🥊🔥👊🏼🎉🐐🎄🎁I“

“The 49ers are my favorite, everything I've tried is fantastic and the servings are huge. On our last visit we were seated with no wait, we arrived just before noon on a Saturday. Not waiting was a blessing, the wait can be up 20-40 minutes on a weekend. The food and service are always absolutely amazing, I 💯 recommend checking it out🙏“

“Excellent food. I had the French toast breakfast with a side of hash browns and tea. Everything was fresh and fantastic tasting. The quality and price cannot be found elsewhere.

My partner had the cheese omelette on a croissant plus pancakes and it was mouth watering.

The atmosphere was calm and pleasant and the service was spot on. I am not often in the area but I definitely will come again because I enjoyed everything so much.“

“Service was amazing and food was great! I’m in a food coma with the sample Mimosas that put me into the coma“

“Get the Ribeye California Loaded Breakfast Burrito with Light Cheese! Didn't spike my blood sugar beyond 110mg/dl! That's pretty good for a burrito! This is where my daughter has breakfast before going to school after surf class on 9th Street.“

“I've been coming here since I was a kid and it always satisfies! Today was wonderful. The french crepe was excellent. Honestly a huge highlight was our amazing waiter Cedric, who was an absolute ray of sunshine!! Cedric's enthusiasm really elevated our experience. Always a fan of Original House of Pancakes :)“

“Sometimes they have entertainment in the evening and the comedy show is the best! The tickets are $15, and the intimate venue make for a great evening of hilarious comedy.“

“The food was great, and the place looked beautiful, however there was one weird thing about it. Throughout us eating here, there were these random animals that kept coming up to us. At first it was fine, just like ducks and chipmunks, but then i started seeing mice? It just kinda weirded me out, but then we saw a tiger and a bear?! I just can’t believe they let these animals into the restaurant.“

“Exceptional service and delicious food! We had lunch and dinner for 3 straight days and it was always awesome!“

“Delicious and very nice set of menu“

“Breakfast is always delicious at Snooze. The pancakes are good when you have a sweet tooth. The corned beef hash is the best, chunks of brisket, no fat. The service is friendly and quick. The atmosphere is fun and sunny. The colors of the restaurant are happy colors and everyone is enjoying food with family and friends! There is a wait, but it's never too long, especially when you have time to peruse antique shops!“

“Love the Chilaquiles and the protein pancakes. Great service of Lucia �“

“We had a great breakfast! The buffet was well stocked and the food was fresh and tasty. Our server, Ruben, was very friendly and helpful. His manager, Ryan, was also very friendly and gave us lots of pointers on attractions that we could go visit. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.“

“First time here. Great service. Food was prepared just as I asked.“

“Our dining experience was excellent, the attention Hugo gave was pleasant. He checked on our meal and coffee pleasantly and available.
When you go ask Miriam for the house salsa, it's Amazing.
Most IHOP are in personal, get in get out. This is not, we were there on a beautiful Sunday morning, yes we waited for a table, and we will wait again. Miriam runs a smooth and tight ship.“

“Yummy breakfast spot with good lunch options.“

“We been here before and thought we would try it again. Service started out great, then took a while to get our check. The food selection is nice, and I had a hard choice on what to get. I got the albondigas soup, and it was very good and recommend it.

Parking: Parking lot is small and can be difficult to find a spot depending on time of day.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“The fun addition of people who will take your picture and will make balloon animals is nice. Other than that it's a regular IHOP. Pretty good value overall. My kid ate 3 banana pancakes for 2 breakfasts.
My only disappointment was the pineapple splasher that didn't come with the fruit as pictured“

“Visiting from out of town and not use to the humidity we stopped in to beat the heat for a few seconds, a very nice worker named Daniel came over and saw how hot we were, he offered us ice water and proceeded let us stay as along as we wanted. Thank you for your kindness much appreciated, very friendly environment and clean.“

“exelentes cheesecake todo rico😍“

“good not bad have good service“

“good coffee drinks. Fast Service. Friendly staff. Food was basic coffee shop.“

“Quick and got there early enough to beat the crowd!“

“Good food fast and delicious, today I got the meatloaf special. Now I got to tell you with the soup, salad, and the meal now I'm a pretty big guy I'm 6 ft 249 lb. I could not eat it all and it comes with dessert and I didn't even have room for dessert!“

“In this IHOP the food is very delicious and the staff is friendly, but they do take a long time, around 20 minutes to take the order, in our case more than 35 minutes to bring the dishes and by mistake 3 dishes were missing so we had to wait for others 20 minutes…it was too long. Also the noise of whoever lifts the plates from the table and takes them to the kitchen is too loud, I think that a little more care in these matters would make this branch better.

Kid-friendliness: on the menu

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible and is on only 1 level.“

“I went here, real late at night since it's open 24 hrs. And other than my girlfriend n i, there were 2 ladies who got there at the same time as us, and a gentleman that walked in a few minutes after us. It was nice. Relaxing. Very very clean. The service was awesome. And I plan on going back tonight. Only thing I wish could be better about the place is the prices. But then again, every place u go the prices have gone up. And this place beats fastfood 4 sure.“
