50 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Santa Ana

“Loaded Café was a solid choice for breakfast. I got the breakfast burrito really tasty and definitely filling. The food overall was flavorful and came out hot. The atmosphere wasn’t bad at all casual and comfortable. Service could’ve been a little quicker, but nothing major. I’d come back to try more from the menu“

“Great food!!!! we had churo French toast combo. 😋😍yummy“

“Alex & Fernando were amazing and definitely made our experience.
The food was good!
We’re a big family (8 total) and they did not make us feel like we were a bother at all.
Very fast, they made us feel right at home.
We will definitely be back!“

“Our dining experience was excellent, the attention Hugo gave was pleasant. He checked on our meal and coffee pleasantly and available.
When you go ask Miriam for the house salsa, it's Amazing.
Most IHOP are in personal, get in get out. This is not, we were there on a beautiful Sunday morning, yes we waited for a table, and we will wait again. Miriam runs a smooth and tight ship.“

“good not bad have good service“

“It was our first time coming here, and I cannot express how satisfied I am with the food and the service. Mike, the waiter, is hilarious and he made our experience a 10/10. We ordered the green chilaquiles and banana pancakes, and I highly recommend! I’ve only had amazing chilaquiles from Mexico, and these are just as delicious. The owner was very attentive and sweet. We will def be coming back!“

“I went here, real late at night since it's open 24 hrs. And other than my girlfriend n i, there were 2 ladies who got there at the same time as us, and a gentleman that walked in a few minutes after us. It was nice. Relaxing. Very very clean. The service was awesome. And I plan on going back tonight. Only thing I wish could be better about the place is the prices. But then again, every place u go the prices have gone up. And this place beats fastfood 4 sure.“

“Coffee is really good! The turkish bagel (Simit) is THE best in California!!! We got a turkish breakfast plate, shakshuka, and the cheese omelette and everything was amazing. Great service and the owner is super cute :)
They also have amazing eclairs - a must try!“

“The bandit burrito was beyond excellent, all the flavors mix to a taste sensation, I am picky and not a big breakfast burrito person yet it was SO good, the very berry French toast was decadent as delicious, also I am not a sweet breakfast fan yet SERIOUSLY delicious, cocktails great, Jamaica was excellent, service impeccable, LOVE this place!“

“The crepes are awesome ❤️. Amazing staff“

“HI, I have to be honest. I was trying to find a way to contact Flappy Jacks as I have a proposition I think would be perfect for Flappy Jacks I have what is probably a bit of an unusual idea. Or maybe just a good idea. I know it is an unusual way to contact you but there was no email address. So I hope this works. I am from Columbia Missouri and I am visiting my Son, Grand Kids, and family there, just a few blocks to the East of Tustin. I am a musician, part time, and I like to street busk (play music on the streets) for grins. I noticed your nostalgic decor and your Elvis statues and the mural featuring the St Louis Arch, which is in Missouri on the Mississippi, of course, where I am from, and the 1930s, 40s and 50s nostalgia, and I wondered if you ever considered, or entertained the notion of having a little nostalgic live music, every now and then, perhaps even if only just once as an experiment. I just happen to play that old classic blues from that era, mostly, at least in this capacity, as Mr. Fletcher's One Man Blues Band. And I thought we might make a pretty good match up. As I said, at least, as an experiment. You can check me out at Facebook "Keith Fletcher, musician." Though most of that music is from my original music shows, and not my one man blues sets. I noticed you had a nice patio area where I could play outside and it might be a nice treat for your customers to have a bit of entertainment, just for a change of pace. They might really appreciate it since they obviously like your atmosphere. I don't play loud music. Unless folks want that, but I prefer to play soft. Or at least in situations like this. I've been the house band for BBQ joints and restaurants on several occasions. So I am familiar with the proper decorum. Mostly I was just looking for a little music adventure in CA within a walking distance of my Son's house, where I could carry a very tiny amp about the size of a cracker box, and my guitar to a gig. I thought maybe about just doing a street gig but saw your venue and something seemed to click. I hope you think so too. I estimate you are about a mile walking distance from his house and I only need an electrical plug. And probably some cool beverages. Like I said, I'm mostly in it for a small musical adventure, and so will play for tips, though, maybe you can pay me with free cold beverages, especially if it is hot, and maybe a sandwich or meal depending on how long I am there. It all looks delicious to me. If you find you'd like to host me again, and want me back, that might be possible over the week, and I may be back for the Christmas holiday. I might even be able to talk my Son into bringing the kids and family. Could be a total bust, or could be a very nice thing, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. Who knows? If it worked out well enough for both of us, you might even want to do it again sometime, Maybe even offer some kind of fee next time, if there is a next time. Life is an adventure. You / we, might stumble onto something good. If you would like to give it a whirl, what day and time would you think is good to catch a crowd? I am not sure what plans the family has, so maybe list a few slots. Look forward to hearing from you. I'll be flying your way tomorrow and leaving California on the 22nd. Thanks, Keith Fletcher AKA Mr. Fletcher's One Man Blues Band“

“Highly recommended by my peers that live out here.“

“Best Brunch ever! Light and crispy waffles with perfectly seasoned chicken. The salad was bright and acidic and the fruit was extremely fresh. Also, the counter service helps the food get there quicker than a diner, and it removes the need to tip a waiter.“

“What a wonderful little place! There are plenty of items on the menu to choose from, as well as gluten-free alternatives. We had shrimp and mashed potatoes; both were excellent! Service was very good while dining al fresco.“

“Have been a very satisfied regular @EatChow CM for several years. The menu varies seasonally, selections are plated attractively & are always delicious; love the fried green tomatoes😋. Eric & his crew are cordial with the right balance of attentiveness. Undoubtedly authentic, consistently never fails to please & a local, late night favorite🧘🏻‍♀️“

“Woohoo! This was an AWESOME meal! Service was helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive! Our entire table only ate pizza or chicken pot pie! Everyone finished their plates!!! Yum! we did manage to squeeze in dessert and it was worth it!!! 10/10 will be back again. Shout-out to our amazing server Kaitlyn!!! 🤓♥️🥊🔥👊🏼🎉🐐🎄🎁I“

“Service and breakfast was excellent“

“Accident service fast hardly no wait time to be served highly recommended“

“Original Pancake House is a franchise so milelage may vary by location, as well so does the menu and quality of food. This location was good, clean, good food, plenty of free parking and prompt service. The waitress did get one otem mixed up but quickly corrected it with a smile. Just a note, we love this chain and have visted almost all the California locations and find the Norco location the best, number 1 in all respects, the food, the service, the facilities all 1st rate and why drive over 100 miles one way pretty often to get our Crepe and Apple pancake fix.“

“The food and cocktails were great. There was a lot to choose from on the menu. The service was great, the atmosphere was nice and the prices were a good deal. I highly recommend. Definitely a repeat restaurant“

“good food great price pancakes are big and fluffy. would go back if I lived down there“

“This place is a hidden gem FOR SURE!
We're just visiting LA from Sacramento & I'm so glad we found this place.
Food was so delicious & filling.
the service was excellent!
10 stars if I could!
Thank you all for your service❤️“

“The food was amazing. We all shared the Tiki French toast which was amazing. We all loved our food.“

“Been a while but drove 20 miles up PCH to have a meal here after 7 years.“

“El burrito el café el lugar las enchiladas muy ricas 💯 recomendado 😍👈“

“I love the cool clean freshness of modern architecture and light the restaurant provides; with a decided touch of old ranch atmosphere; you can be left alone to yourself, or join in community. The food is varied, always fresh, healthy, creative modern nouvelle cuisine along with more traditional dishes, the ingredients definitely high quality -California Sunshine. If you really wish to muse, meditate, read, or silently work, the place is surrounded by little nooks and crannies in the midst of nature. You can even lull yourself to a nap, abandoning all care for a few precious minutes. Or else you can sit outside in community, perhaps choosing a more intimate table conversational setting on certain days, resolving the woes or the theories our world is constructed on. All together a complete experience🙏 Thank you.“

“Friendly staff and fresh, delicious food! Highly recommend.“

“The establishment provides a pleasant ambiance within a compact space, which is accessible for wheelchair users. The pricing is reasonable, and the menu boasts a diverse selection, including healthy options with portion-specific nutritional information, which is beneficial for individuals with dietary restrictions. The chilaquiles were flavorful, featuring crispy tortilla chips and well-prepared eggs. While the salsa could be improved, it adequately provides the desired level of spiciness. The bunny protein bowl was satisfactory, though it could benefit from enhanced seasoning. The children's portions are appropriately sized for the price. The bacon was slightly overcooked. Overall, the dining experience was positive, making it a suitable venue for enjoying breakfast. Service feels a bit to quick here but they are polite saying no rush.“

“It was really good. I was expecting a little different. The staff was very attentive and Nicole is top notch!“

“Service was amazing and food was great! I’m in a food coma with the sample Mimosas that put me into the coma“

“Get the Ribeye California Loaded Breakfast Burrito with Light Cheese! Didn't spike my blood sugar beyond 110mg/dl! That's pretty good for a burrito! This is where my daughter has breakfast before going to school after surf class on 9th Street.“

“Amazing breakfast!! We had an omelette and aeal with pancakes and both were fantastic!! They served a hot sauce from Red Beards that complemented the omelette perfectly and bought some online afterwards!! When we're back in Huntington Beach, we'll definitely make another stop at the Sugar Shack!“

“Love the Chilaquiles and the protein pancakes. Great service of Lucia �“

“What a wonderful pancake house, it knocked spots off another famous pancake house that we tried yesterday. We are visiting from the UK, so visiting a pancake house for breakfast was a "must do"! Pancakes delicious, orange juice freshly squeezed and outstanding, friendly customer service. Thank you so much for welcoming us. Would definitely recommend a visit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Delicious and very nice set of menu“

“Breakfast is always delicious at Snooze. The pancakes are good when you have a sweet tooth. The corned beef hash is the best, chunks of brisket, no fat. The service is friendly and quick. The atmosphere is fun and sunny. The colors of the restaurant are happy colors and everyone is enjoying food with family and friends! There is a wait, but it's never too long, especially when you have time to peruse antique shops!“

“Tasty food, fun atmosphere at 1pm midweek. Gloria, our host, friendly knowledgeable and attentive. Praise the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth who makes all experiences the best. BR great…w Jesus best“

“Exceptional service and delicious food! We had lunch and dinner for 3 straight days and it was always awesome!“

“Sometimes they have entertainment in the evening and the comedy show is the best! The tickets are $15, and the intimate venue make for a great evening of hilarious comedy.“

“The food was great, and the place looked beautiful, however there was one weird thing about it. Throughout us eating here, there were these random animals that kept coming up to us. At first it was fine, just like ducks and chipmunks, but then i started seeing mice? It just kinda weirded me out, but then we saw a tiger and a bear?! I just can’t believe they let these animals into the restaurant.“

“Super soft donuts even a day later. Best donuts I've tried in my 45 years of existence. Breakfast burritos filled the three of us unless you are a monster muncher. The tortilla almost seems homemade. The ingredients are fresh and flavorful. The orange juice is freshly squeezed and delicious. Came down from the bay area to try them out. Going back for more. **Update, they open early, so if you are going to Disney, then this place is right down the street, just map it. Always great soft moist donuts. Vietnamese coffee, great and you can ask for it even stronger. Ask for the secret sauce. Low quantities of donuts at 11:00 am.“

“Service is quick and friendly. I order regular fries and got a fruit cup. The fruit is always fresh and the fries are nice a crispy. Plus they have all the soccer game at the bar which is a big plus for entertainment. Hopefully they will play all the games for the World Cup 2026.“

“This cafe is located tight near Hoag hospital, and is perfect for a quick bite if you are waiting at the hospital. They offer real food, far from your typical hospital cafeteria. To top it off the staff is SO friendly and the food is good to top it off.“

“This place has, by far, the best breakfast shop around! The avocado breakfast burrito is my fav!“

“I’ve always loved IHOP, but the location at 830 N Euclid St in Anaheim is truly exceptional. I’ve been a regular customer here for over 10 years, coming at least a couple of times each month, and it’s consistently been a fantastic experience.

The staff here are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. They always go the extra mile to make sure everything is just right. The food is always fresh, hot, and delicious, whether I’m enjoying their signature fluffy pancakes, a hearty breakfast combo, or one of their savory dishes.

The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and well-organized, even during busy times. It’s clear that the team takes pride in delivering great service and quality food. This location has become like a second home for me—I always know I’ll leave satisfied.

If you’re looking for a reliable spot with great food and a warm atmosphere, this IHOP is the place to go. Highly recommend!“

“My husband and I are staying locally we looked for a highly recommended breakfast place via Google ❤️ this place is amazing 🤩 I ordered online, to go, & I love that they paid attention to our special requests 😋 great food 🍔 great donuts 🍩 great coffee ☕️“

“FOOD
huge portion sizes. i personally think the buffet price is not worth it; not much variety in food. just generic breakfast food. unless youre a very big eater or like eating a mix of everything, stick to the menu. chia seed pudding could use some more toppings. it was like 90 percent chia

SERVICE
just a little slow. servers are nice.

ENVIRONMENT
very convenient for people staying at hyatt. lots of seating. cool decorations.“

“Our visit was defined by our server, Luz. She was perfection, beginning as the hostess through server, and cashier. Even though she was the only one on duty and everyone who came in was in her section, she was friendly and welcoming, She proactively let us know how our order was doing and checked in several times to see how we were doing. I got the Eggs Benedict, which were VERY overcooked, but I didn’t make a fuss because these things happen. Overall everyone else, who got more simple meals were happy.“
