“one of those low-key neighborhood spots that quietly becomes your “how did I not know about this?” place. I came in for breakfast and left thinking, “Okay… so we’re coming back for lunch too.”

First off: the vibe is classic, cozy, and unpretentious—clean tables, a steady hum of regulars, and staff who greet you like you’ve been eating here for years (in the best way). Service was quick without feeling rushed, which is exactly what you want when coffee is still doing its job.

Food-wise, everything felt made-to-order and generously portioned. The breakfast plate in the photo—eggs smothered in a bright, chunky salsa with beans and melted cheese—hits that perfect comfort-food zone: warm, savory, and surprisingly balanced. The salsa has real tomato-and-chile character (not that watery “red sauce” situation), and the beans are creamy enough to scoop up with every bite. Add the dollop of sour cream and it’s basically breakfast therapy.

Then there’s the breakfast sandwich + hash browns combo. The bun is soft, the egg is fluffy, the bacon brings the salt-and-smoke, and the cheese does what cheese is supposed to do: glue happiness together. The hash browns are the kind you keep “sampling” until you realize you accidentally ate half the plate.

And because it’s Molly’s Souper, you can’t not try soup—even at breakfast. The lighter broth soup (with carrot and veggies) is clean and comforting, and the creamy one in the little cup is rich without being heavy—perfect “I want something cozy but I still have a day to live” energy.

Overall: hearty breakfast, genuinely friendly service, and that rare feeling you get when a place is consistent and cares. If you’re in Upland and want a solid, satisfying meal that doesn’t try too hard, Molly’s Souper is an easy yes.“

“My mom and brother and I went to The Heights for lunch, and we enjoyed everything about it, the vibe, my chicken marsala was delicious, mom had cranberry turkey sandwich and loved it, brother had the dill salmon, he loved it. My only complaint is, it can get a little loud when the place gets full of customers. Yes half of it is a bar, but overall, we will be going back, great place!!“

“ABSOLUTELY love BARDOT! Amazing food and great atmosphere!“

“Was a good time on Sunday evening listing to live music !!!“

“This is a must try place ✌🏼“

“Try the Chicken Quesadilla from the Appetizers menu. Half will fill you up, take the other half home!“

“Fantastic food. I had the black cod, it was light and fresh, I highly recommend. Great service by Kee and the coffee was excellent. This is a great place to meet clients for lunch or dinner because it is quiet and you can probably utilize the lounge areas outside. A great Claremont meeting place!“

“Great service. Cool place to grab lunch and a beer.“

“We had such an incredible experience at Bass Pro Shops thanks to Hona ! From the moment we were helped, Hona went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. His knowledge, professionalism, and genuine friendliness truly stood out. He took the time to answer all of our questions, made thoughtful recommendations, and never made us feel rushed which is rare these days.

What really impressed us was how attentive and personable he was. You can tell he genuinely cares about customers having a great experience, not just making a sale. Because of Hona, our visit was smooth, enjoyable and honestly one of the best customer service experiences we’ve had in a long time.“

“les recuerdo que tenemos un contrató original firmado Que estipula que también yo soy dueño también delas franquicias cocos bakery restaurantes y Dennys restaurantes y varias más franquicias con sus derivados Llevo 28años de dueño también y espero que secomuniquen“

“Been here twice now and can’t wait to keep coming back. Everything we’ve had is delicious. I’m glad they have vegetarian options. The buffalo cauliflower is really tasty. It’s lively but not loud- you can still have a conversation. The beer and cold tail selection is better than most places in the village.“

“Always awesome there! Never a bad experience“

“les recuerdo que como dueño de las franquicias cocos bakery. y dennya restaurantes y variasmas espero nos visiten.“

“We are huge fans of BBD, we always stop at one when going out of town. But todays brunch was the worst we’ve ever had. My wife ordered the corned beef hash and the corned beef as like shredded shoe leather, the toast wasn’t even toasted at all, her over easy eggs were over hard. She ordered a side of bacon and it was drenched in grease. My granddaughter ordered French toast which was good but the syrup was like sugar water. I ordered the chili burger which was pretty good, chili was sweet which I don’t care for but that’s a preference. Best part of my wife’s meal was her water. Service was great nor bad, just so so. Will need to really think about returning to BBD or not. Very disappointed. I’m hoping it’s just that specific location and not all.“

“This bakery is truly something special. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the love and care that goes into everything they make. The baked goods are always fresh, beautifully made, and absolutely delicious!!
What really sets this place apart, though, is the people. The staff is kind, welcoming, and genuinely happy to be there, which makes every visit feel like a treat. Whether you’re grabbing a quick pastry or ordering something for a special occasion, they always go above and beyond.

This bakery has become a go to for me and I can’t recommend it enough.“

“I have been going to this place for over 20 years and it has always been pretty good. But I went this morning for a breakfast burrito and was very surprised. They have their own homemade red salsa. I have to say it was really good. I think I will go back to buy some of their salsa. Their breakfast burritos are filled with bacon, egg, and potato at a good price“

“I went to The Hat to celebrate my buddy Gene's 80th birthday. The Hat is one of his favorite eateries. The place is CLEAN, the service friendly and efficient and fast, and the atmosphere friendly. The place was packed for lunch. I enjoyed their Pastrami Dip and yummy onion rings (small order, which was AMPLE!). Gene enjoyed his Steak sandwich and crispy French fries. I topped it off by bringing a small cake as dessert. We highly recommend The Hat!!! Jack Barry 2026-03-09“

“Patty was excellent and got our food to the table hot.“

“The food is soo good. The service, not so much“

“Being vegan I typed in vegan friendly in Claremont and Dr Grubbs was the first entry. I like that you can choose your protein and your choice of side as a combo entry. I loved my tofu steak and spring salad mix choices. There were just right dressing for each. The rest of my party loved their non vegan choices as well. Order at the counter and they deliver it to the table. There is a good amount of seating and I love that they have a restroom in the place as opposed to some other places we've been to in Claremont. Overall a great experience.“

“There were 16 people in our party, mostly teenagers, who dined to celebrate our son’s birthday. We couldn’t have asked for better staff! We requested if we could occupy the ping-pong/pinball area and Daniel set up our reservation with ease. On the day of our visit, we arrived with the round tables arranged so the kids could all sit together. Menus were already on the table ready for perusal. Sam, our server, was a 10/10 - attentive, friendly, and very professional. Lily periodically cleaned the ping-pong paddles and made sure our area was okay. Greg carried a happy vibe in the DJ booth and noted that we were celebrating our teen’s birthday. He asked permission to greet him overhead - 2 thumbs up! Enrique made sure the game areas were clean and safe and assured us that he was available if we needed any help. Gerald was a great host and helped set up our bowling lanes - always with a smile. Simply superb service. We are extremely happy and satisfied that we held our son’s celebration here. For sure, the people we mentioned are a big part of our reason to come back and celebrate more birthdays for the year.“

“This spot is a true gem. Everything I tried was tasty and satisfying. The servings are massive and the prices are very fair, so you really feel like you are getting great value. The Hat is a reliable choice, and every item from the chili to the pastrami is packed with flavor. You really cannot go wrong here.“

“From the moment we sat down, everything was incredible-even the water. It tasted so fresh and clean, which honestly set the tone for the entire meal. The food was absolutely amazing; every single bite was packed with flavor. You can tell the chef truly did his thing-everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The dessert was just as amazing, the perfect way to end the meal. On top of that, our waiter Victor was phenomenal. This was our first time here, and he was so knowledgeable, patient, and helpful-answering all of our questions and guiding us through the menu with ease. A flawless dining experience all around.“

“Always one of our favorite places to eat, all the staff are great and the owner/chef Jay is always willing to customize our food preferences and knows exactly how we like it.“

“The food is very good only thing I didn't care for was the fried mac n cheese balls everything else was fantastic I recommend the brisket. Their was only two workers and they still gave great service. Our server Imani and the chef Daniel were awesome. Will be coming back“
