Cool little spot near the movie studios to grab breakfast. Lots of gluten free options including pancakes and waffles! They also do a really creative trick/surprise with the foam on their hot drinks.

Words cant describe how good the chicken was. I honestly went to try the carolina reaper and ended up loving the quality of the chicken that i became a regular. To top it off they opened one ever closer to my house in the valley . Keep up the great work guys .

We stopped in here for brunch. They were packed, but were well organized so the line moved quickly. They have several cheap breakfast items and sandwiches to pick from. The staff was very attentive. I got a bagel and my husband got a chicken sandwich. They were both great.

This is an excellent place for a wonderful casual lunch. Stop here when you take a break from your tour or hike. Owned, managed and staffed by a husband and wife. Fabulous refreshing house made gazpacho.

So good! I had been looking for a place with Chinese chicken salad for a while and finally found this cafe at the train station, which ended up being somewhat close to my workplace. It was pretty good and surprisingly filling. I usually eat a salad once in a while (when I'm trying to be healthy or when I haven't had any vegetables for a long time, don't judge me) but I tend to be semi-satisfied - either with the portion-to-price ratio, the limited amount of protein, or just lack of flavor! I'm not picky with what I eat, but I'm really particular with how I eat my food. If I'm going to have a salad, there better be meat and there better be lots of dressing. So to ensure that my salad had plenty of dressing, I asked to have it all mixed together and ready to eat by the time I picked it up. It was so good! Why can't all diners have an option to get it mixed up?!Anyway, my second time I tried the lunch special with Station Special and chose the side green salad. Both very good! Also their customer service is great. I always have a small request with my orders and they always happily deliver.

They have very good food here at an affordable price. I love this cafeteria, not only because of their food but also they were accessible in the city. They were near the metro and bus station. The environment inside is very neat and airy. I love to sit on the couches because it was so cozy. They have the best home cooks here!

Best coffee ever!!! I consistently receive prompt service, quality food, and delicious coffee from this restaurant. I wish they were open on the weekends so I could grab a cup of coffee. My favorite thing to order is the lunch special with a Cesar salad. It's the perfect portion size for a filling lunch that doesn't make you feel weighed down. I like the station special paninin the best because the mushrooms add a great texture and flavor to the sandwich. The salad accompanying the Panini is always crisp and fresh. Their breakfast burritos are amazing! However I don't wake up early enough to get them. I wish they served them all day. There's a delicious green salsa that accompanies the burrito. Many other restaurants can be busy in the area, but I've never had a hard time grabbing my coffee and panini at lunch. Thank you so much!!

I met a friend at Great Park (Irvine) and was looking for a place for a quick bite for lunch. This vast part of OC (the park once El Toro Marine Base) now a mind-numbingly sea of suburban tract homes and little in the way of food options. Except for Station Cafe, a modest breakfast and lunch counter, where, I'm not sure, but it certainly stood out. In a good way. I ordered the Lemon Tuna panini: great tasting tuna salad with a zesty zing of lemon. My friend had the Chinese Chicken Salad: it was huge. Like a dinner salad. She said it was also excellent. The service was terrific; the man at the counter friendly and accommodating.

Unexpected!! Looked this place up in Google, desperate for a decent coffee. Exceeded all expectations. Stumptown Espresso, very nicely executed (I'm an espresso snob, so high praise from me). Ordered a Denver Panini. Crisp, delicious. Great, free, parking right next. Just impressed.
