50 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Irvine

“My wife & I have been eating at The Broken Yolk Cafe in Irvine for several years now and we absolutely love the delicious food and the wonderful service, particularly via our regular server Alicia. She has such a positive attitude and shares our love of dogs. She always makes sure to bring our dog Maizie a bowl of water and a pup cup whenever we go there. I cannot recommend this Broken Yolk location and Alicia enough.“

“Michelin star! Ok, that’s a bit overboard but…
Friendly, quick and easy.
Order out promptly and perfect temperature.
Sandwich was literally delicious!
Not fine dining but dining at its finest.“

“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.“

“The story of the Four Sea Restaurant founder is quite the adventure, from cooking for her family in China to moving to Taiwan then California, the food is authentic and comfort. They have a huge variety of classic Chinese and Taiwanese breakfast items at a fair price. There is plenty of indoor seating and the staff are friendly. Only complaint is that the food can come out a bit slow though.“

“We had the Turkish breakfast at Canan’s Kitchen and everything was delicious. The spread was fresh and generous, with fluffy warm bread, creamy cheeses, olives, tomatoes and cucumbers, jams and honey, and perfectly cooked eggs. The flavors tasted just like a traditional breakfast back home, and the Turkish tea was the perfect finish.“

The service, the portions, the price and the ambiance were all really very good. Our server, Michael, was very personable and friendly and we wanted to make sure that we left a good review for them.

“Great place“

“So glad to see The Pocket has reopened on Monrovia (formerly Outpost Kitchen). Made my first visit since they’re back and had an excellent Brekky sandwich with really fresh, delicious ingredients. As an Aussie, I’ve missed having access to food like this. The coffee is great, service is friendly, and the atmosphere is funky and welcoming. Easy parking out front is a nice bonus.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for quality food and good coffee in Costa Mesa“

“Like Denny’s with a Mexican twist! 🇲🇽 We tried the Mexican-style breakfast special and really liked it. However, the French toast loaded with fresh fruit was the star of the show—bursting with flavor and absolutely delicious! 😋

The portions are generous, too. They also have a $9.99 breakfast special that includes eggs, meat, and pancakes, which is a great deal.

Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for a hearty breakfast! 🌞“

“Extremely happy place for the variety of food options that this place offers, and a wide variety of lunchtime food choices.

Highly recommend this place for the food.“

My only complaint is they have a couple signs/posters that are AI generated.“
