Came to SC Cafe while visiting San Clemente the past weekend. It was a rainy Saturday morning but there was luckily only a 10-15 minute wait for so. The cafe is small and busy, but has a great friendly vibe. All the workers seemed to know everyone which was a good sign. One even stopped taking our order to say bye to someone lol For food I got the Gringos Burritos--hash brown egg and cheese burritos covered in ranchero sauce and more cheese. So good! Very different. I'm not big on ranchero sauce but finished it regardless. Everything else my table got looked good. Most items have a south-of-the-border touch which always makes for a good combination. Def recommend if you're in town!

good food, fantastic service and comfy. we were given 4 salsas to try and all are good. the potatoes could be fresh or reconstituted. they're a very thin sliced wafer shape. i had the nicole and partner had an omelette. i will try something different next time. coffee is great!

Great place to come for breakfast or brunch. We had their Mexi Huevos Rancheros and they were delicious. Service is friendly and pretty quick. I even enjoyed a mimosa with my food. Lots of choices for breakfast/brunch/ and lunch.

Fast service, food was very tasty. Stopped here for a quick bite and I definitely enjoyed it.

Shared funky chicken, Swiss and avocado sandwich. Seemed like overpriced, greasy spoon food with decent service. It definitely felt like a mom and pop shop so hate to give the three stars but it really was underwhelming. After reading the good reviews through a second time though I'm going to give them another shot in a few months or so and will update then.

This place was recommended by a local couple- really happy we had breakfast here! The portions are extremely big & it was fairly priced. Great service! All servers were really friendly and attentive. Will definitely come back.

Just amazing!! I really can't express how happy I was to revisit a San Clemente staple. If you haven't tried the breakfast here guess what, you're missing out. I brought a patient of mine here and he literally lit up with enjoyment. So thanks to all the staff for a job well done!!

Loved this place. Amazing diner food, vibe, and kind service to me and my kids. Prices were reasonable. Would definitely return and recommend this to anyone.
Been coming here for years, here and there when I’m in south San Clemente. Definitely a hometown favorite, impressively large menu and quality food. In the spirit of old San Clemente it is small, cozy and feels very “mom and pop”. Again great ingredients and food.

I live in San Diego and their Chilaquiles are worth the hour's drive up the coast. Every time I'm in San Clemente I stop and have breakfast here.
