“Hidden between a Burrito place and beauty salons in this little cove filled with the energy of having matcha on a weekday afternoon off.Belgium waffle haus provides menus with seasonal offerings and sandwiches along with its breakfast staples. The service is adorable as she drew little doodles/kaomoji on our coffees instead of names. There is also some light table service which is pleasant and most table ware is stainless steel for the more eco conscious.Honey/Syrup is provided at the table. Overall, for 1 Kefir, 1 medium coffee, and a sandwich estimates to under $30 USD. A nice date and premium experience for those looking for a social meeting. Bathrooms are available, and booster seats are clean and ready in the back.Kid-friendliness: Provides booster seats and the staff are kindWheelchair accessibility: Ground level access without many or any thresholds.“

“The Galley Cafe is a local old school diner that's been around for longer than I have! It's been family-owned since 1957 and it's only open from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 This is a gem of a classic breakfast & lunch spot that has about 30 tables as well as counter seating that serves solid & no frills food. I love the breakfast burrito with pico de gallo. Expect a waiting list on the weekends, but it always hits the spot. It's right next to the marina and the service is prompt and friendly. Friendly regulars and neighborhood vibes! I love the Galley Cafe!“

“this place is a low-key and hidden gem. I've always gotten their sandwiches (great on sourdough or the "rustic roll," which is their pizza dough) but recently got a pizza for my 2 year old and DAMN it was good! bubbly chewy crust, simple quality toppings, tasty ranch on the side, grab a bottle of vino and chill on the patio... perfect place to grab a bite with kids, no snooty vibes, and a variety of options. we have definitely become regulars here.“

“We first discovered this place in San Diego and now we go here for breakfast every time we get the chance. We love eggs Benedict and they have some original twists on it, and even an option to get two smaller portions of different varieties which is what we like to do. The kids loved the French toast and their hot chocolate is excellent. We don’t drink coffee or alcohol so I can’t comment on that but we try the hot chocolate every where we go and theirs is so good, especially with the cinnamon they add. I don’t think you’d go wrong with any of their menu items.“

“Went out of the way to try this place because of the reviews, but ended up not being to my liking. There was plenty of parking on a Saturday morning in the parking lot. For a group of 5, we were seated right away and got our order taken as soon as we were ready. I love their decor and the sayings they had by the bathroom.Chai latte 5/5: was good. There is nothing to complain about.Churro French toast 2/5: It had a lot of cinnamon, so it was very sweet with the rest of the ingredients.Servings were a decent amount for each dish, and for the sandwiches, the avocado, tomatoes, and lettuce looked so fresh. I would love to try their crunchy French toast.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu“

“I didn't get a picture of the burrito. But wow it was so good!!! I went twice while I was there over the weekend - got a lunch and a breakfast burrito and I could have gone again! The burrito is filling but doesn't make you feel overly stuffed. Additional green sauce is a must! The breakfast sandwich is great and is a great lighter option. The donuts looked really good but we didn't get one. I would recommend the mango smoothie too!!“

“? Our Favorite Donut Shop ?We tried every place near Foothill Ranch, Portola Hills, Mission Viejo and Lake Forest. This is our favorite!! The donuts here are always light, fluffy and fresh. My co-workers are hooked on these donuts and swear to anyone who hasn’t had one that these are the very best and are a must try, diets be damned. Leka and the crew here welcome you with a smile and know their regulars. Breakfast burritos are great and fan favorite with the mountain bikers who strategically end their rides here. You won’t be disappointed.“
