Cafe at the Mission

I absolutely love coming here for my coffee, and your pastries are always a treat! However, I’ve noticed that the oven has been down for a while, and I’ve been missing those warm pastries, especially with this rainy weather. Any chance you could get it fixed soon? It would make my visits even better!

Thanks!!

A nice little cafe located at Marriott's Inn at the Mission. They have some indoor seating and an outdoor patio with a fountain and views of Mission SJC across the street. The atmosphere and service were good but unfortunately the food was not that good. The Avocado Toast had so many things on it from ricotta cheese & chimichurri sauce to a giant spear of cold asparagus that it was overwhelmed and not enhanced. The San Juan burrito was not good either and the Cappuccino was not hot.

Not what I was expecting. Service and ambiance are really good ,just the coffees and food was a little disappointing. Just kinda bland and basic. But that might be a good thing for some people. To each their own. Food visually looked good but taste did not come through.

Very cute spot, across the mission, and lovely atmosphere.

however, very long wait, and extremely overpriced mid food. Both meals were fine, just average, but just burrito and All American Breakfast (Sausage links, eggs, cut potatoes, and bread which they forgot and had to go back in and get) and no drink was $40 which was wildly overpriced when it tasted like it could have costed a 3rd of that and them still making profit.

The food presentation was good, and the avocado toast was decent, but the fork had a sulfurous, rotten egg smell, which was off-putting.

Food was mediocre.. however our server Jeff made up for the mediocre food. He was very accommodating and pleasant, felt like we were well taken care of. Wouldn't come back for the food necessarily, but the ambiance, especially in the evening was great! I'll be back for drinks!

What a great spot. This cafe is across the street from the Mission at San Juan Capistrano. They have a lot of outside comfortable seating. The staff under the direction of the manager Rafael, were all wonderful and very accomadating. The coffee was good and the food and pastries were excellent. I went there a lot during our week long stay in San Juan Capistrano.

Really great dinner. Jeffery (server) was top notch. Almost concierge in his approach to the menu. The pork belly appetizer was a show stopper and the drink menu had a great ratio of value/reasonably priced.

Stopped in after work with a coworker! Really loved our experience! Service and ambiance was amazing, shout out to Cole! Try the bacon steak, you won't regret it! I will be dreaming of the adobo sauce that was on it!

Food was excellent as was the service with Jeff. Started with the ranch salad which was perfect. Nice size and a bit different. Moved on to the short ribs and they were also perfect. No fat or grizzle. Churros for desert made the perfect ending to the meal. Not something you can get anywhere. A bit noisy due to the C&W dancing outside. But it was fun to watch.

I’d give it 4 stars but the potatoes were the worst I’ve had in years. Dry, old, you can taste the canola unhealthy oil, and zero flavor. The omelette was good and the avocado toast was good as well. 4 stars otherwise. Please get rid of those deep fried potatoes—they are worse than fries.

Indoor and outdoor sessions. The staff is friendly. The service is fast. The waffle is delicious and it is preferable if it comes with deep chocolate.
