June's Cafe is a true hidden gem tucked between the gentrified corners and the traditional soul of Santa Ana — and honestly, it captures the best of both worlds.
The deep-fried French toast is a must-try: crispy on the outside, soft and indulgent on the inside — basically dessert disguised as breakfast. I also had the avocado omelette, which was super fresh and flavorful, with the perfect balance of creamy and savory.
I’m obsessed with the decor — tons of vintage Americana and nostalgic touches that make it feel like you’ve stepped into a local time capsule. It’s cozy, unpretentious, and full of personality.
Only downside? Parking on Sundays can be rough, so come early or pack some patience.
Definitely worth the hunt. I’ll be back!

Got my burger order incorrect. You can't get a burger anywhere that can get the order right.

We’ve been twice and it has consistently been good, so I would recommend if you’re looking for a mom and pop style cafe near DTSA.
In-depth review: - hamburger and fries at $12.50 is a fair price and taste as expected, and the country fried steak and eggs at around $15 is also decent. The Pop’s Country Breakfast (not pictured) was ok but too much gravy that was just ok tasting. Would not recommend the Grilled Chicken Melt (not pictured), it was horrible- very bland and basic, with cheese that was only barely melted and looked like Kraft singles. Pancakes are nice and fluffy and definitely worth trying.
- consistent good service
Price/Value: Par other similar diners, but cheaper than many others, so while expensive it’s just about better than the competition
Parking: Limited street parking only takes change or the app, I think free on Sundays? It’s not in too busy of a side street.

Little cafe, set in a 50ish vibe that serves great home style food.

Great breakfast. Amazing service. Has to be one of the best little breakfast spots in OC. Highly Recommened!!
