20 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Lake Forest

“fresh coffee and ham&cheese. and delicious egg omelet. highly recommend“

“Called in a takeout brunch/lunch order, and it was ready in less than 20 mins. Lovely service on the phone and in person. I had the huevos rancheros (no chorizo), and my mom had the shrimp enchiladas. The food was fantastic—hearty, flavorful, and good portions. We also got a box of donuts that were very tasty.

This is the kind of mom and pop place I love supporting, and it baffles me that we have a chipotle in the same shopping center when we have an independent business of this caliber just across the lot. I will definitely be back!“

“The best breakfast burrito and sandwich of my life. Linda’s knows how to be generous with their portions and make a hearty breakfast. I love this place, ever since I discovered it I’ve been telling all my friends and family. Their doughnuts are always so fresh and taste better than anywhere else and they have cute designs and variety of flavors. Their orange juice is actually hand squeezed unlike other places that say it is but really isn’t. I couldn’t rave about this place more really.“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“It’s fast, it’s convenient, it’s a great breakfast option. The combo is super well-priced. 古早茶 teste like the ones in Taiwan.
Is it the best Taiwanese breakfast? Not necessarily. But given other options in OC, this place definitely stands out.“

“Some friends and I met here on. Saturday morning to discuss a book we are all reading together. We got to sit in the only large circular booth because we arrived a few minutes before opening at 7:30 and so were the first ones in the door. There are several other standard booths and plenty of other seating as well even a bit later when traffic picked up. Our server Carolina was very attentive and friendly, and that large circular booth was the perfect place for a good discussion. Everyone seemed happy with their food. I got the Ranchero Skillet, which was quite spicy but Carolina had warned me. The coffee was great, and they did a good job of coming around frequently to refill coffee and water.“

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

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

“exelentes cheesecake todo rico😍“

“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.“
