41 Best Cafes near Foothill Ranch

“First time ordering from this restaurant, we had hot roast beef and chicken soup. The sandwich was good the beef has really good flavor and tender but the bread became soggy. The soup was a little salty for me and seems too little serving for $7.00 ( I guess nowadays everything are so expensive). It was ready on time when we picked it up. I would definitely come back & maybe eat in the restaurant next time.“

“I was looking for a nice breakfast location a little different than other places with good pastries and coffee. Came across this place and our experience was great.The owner is super nice and recommended pastry and the ham sandwich which was amazing and more importantly fresh!I highly recommend this little cafe totally worth experiencing the food and vibe.The variety of pastries are so great that can easily get everyone their own favorite item??“

“Great place for a breakfast or a quick lunch. I tried the Pollo con Pesto lunch sandwich and it was absolutely awesome! The sandwich was prepared with fresh and quality products. I also tried the Super Lemonade and it was great too. The owners are super friendly! Highly Reccomended!“

“Susie, the owner, is truly amazing!!! Their services are very good and their food portions are very filling. They also have halal chicken and beef which is amazing about their store and they taste really good, along with their desserts. Their smoothies are also a must try. Especially the strawberry smoothie where they use real fruits too. Must try!!“

“Overall a good experience. Great service and nice ambience! The food was decent but nothing special. Definitely worth trying but would not say it's a MUST go. Not sure if I'd go again but maybe I'll try their other menu items!“

“The food is amazing! I will definitely be going back. Only thing I would change is make it more restaurant style service, meaning I’m able to sit down and have the waitress take my order. It’s a little awkward ordering at the counter ?‍♂️ Other than that the food was out quick and the quality was “

“This place is a hidden gem. The bakery items are all amazing, Soft fresh breads and pastries, sweet and savory options. Wonderful tea and coffee options. Friendly service, clean restaurant. We have loved everything we tried here. So glad to have found this place!“

“Such a cute little coffee stand by the beach with good drinks. It was a little bit of a walk if you're coming from the beach but it's not too bad. We ended up getting the Churro Latte and Masala Chai Latte. They were both very sweet and not too strong. The drinks also came out pretty fast. Thanks to the staff for helping us decide what to get and giving great recommendations.“

“I was only in California for 3 days and I can’t stop talking about the meal I had here! The food was out of this world amazing! The waitstaff was super polite and very attentive. I recommend this restaurant to everyone who I traveled with! During the week, there was plenty of tables and no wait. When I come back to California, this restaurant is a must for me!Parking: Easy and cheap parking for $4“

“This was my FIRST time here and I loved the food & drink I got. Food I ordered: French Omelet Drink of choice: Matcha Latte (iced) w/lavendar syrup The omelet tasted very good because the eggs were soft/spongy and the cheese of choice was perfect. The matcha latte was excellent - they have other syrup options you can choose from (the sign is by the cash register tablet). The side salad was good too! This place was hard to find but the spot was located on Richard Reese Way (street name), next to SuperCuts. I will be back - glad I found this place!“

“I stopped eating meat But I cheated!! The food is delicious! I had the a blue cheese wedge salad with pieces of medium rare steak. Yummy!! I am watching calories. I eat here and lost ( 28 lbs) Girls just tell the cook you are watching calories and express your likes and OMG!!!!! Service is Awesome! Ambiance is like a family setting.“

“This just became our favorite breakfast spot and we’re not even from here! We were so impressed with the quality of food and portions for the price, plus the coffee (latte’s) are delicious! We also highly recommend the breakfast burrito! It can get busy and it’s not very large inside, although on a nice day (like today for us) we were able to sit outside and it was beautiful. It’s a walk up and order and they bring your food to you. When we left, the line was out the door, but rightfully so! It’s well worth the wait!We’ll be back for sure when we’re in the area again!“

“Surprising find for breakfast, especially quality of the food. We shared the baguette with butter and jam. Simple - butter was really good. Natural omelette - cheese and herbs, was served with lightly dressed greens. Quiche too. Simple and tasty. Generous portions. Cappuccino reminded me of Europe.“

“Visiting the Hello Kitty Cafe is like stepping into a charming wonderland! Whether it's lunchtime or evening, this place never fails to delight.During the day, they offer a delightful array of teas, tea sandwiches, and tiny desserts that are as delicious as they are adorable. The set price includes a selection of tasty treats and a teapot brimming with flavorful tea, making it a perfect experience for everyone.In the evening, the cafe transforms into a haven for adults with a tempting selection of cocktails.

“If you're looking for a satisfying breakfast without breaking the bank, Cloud Cafe is the place to go. Their steamed omelet is not just delicious but also a healthy choice, thanks to the steaming method. Another standout is their French toast with fruit topping, which is both tasty and generously portioned. Highly recommended for a budget-friendly and flavorful breakfast experience!“

“Excellent! We live in Irvine and have been trying different Saturday morning spots. This hit the mark on all levels. Great service, clean and amazing food. The food is very well done, fresh, unique and tasted great. It was like being in a fancy breakfast restaurant without the high prices.“

“My last review was so many years ago! We continue to love Lolas, we go almost every Sunday. They have so many vegan and vegetarian options. I love that they got rid of the plates and are back to serving food on the wood boards. My old favorite mixed berry flatbread wasn't as great a month or so ago, maybe because it wasn't berry seasons, but the Sunrise Flatbread is my new obsession. It is so good, just wish I could order it ahead on the clover app - there is some glitch that makes it requires to add 5 items on the flatbread in order to add it to your cart.“

“Came here for the first time today and it was nice! There's plenty of seating; perfect if you want to study or hang out with a friend. As for drinks I ordered a matcha latte with almond milk and vanilla sweetener and it was so good! They also sell coffee beans from various countries which is really cool! I definitely will be coming here more!“

“Good food overall..freshly prepared and conveniently close to work but you might want to call and confirm your order is received if ordering online or through Yelp..there's a glitch sometimes and orders aren't received. Screenshot your order confirmation just in case..so when you pick up your order and it isn't ready or didn't receive it..your just prepared“

“We make the almost 40-minute drive regularly just to eat at this place! I have to admit, as Southern Californians, we are very spoiled with the best of world cuisine, and we have no shortage of good Middle Eastern food in our neighborhood. However, we've never had chicken this good! It's super tender, juicy, with a slight tartness from the fragrant lemon, and full of herbs. The rice is made with quality saffron. We also enjoy the flavorful sirloin kabob. The best part is the friendly service. Oh, and they always offer complimentary Persian tea, which provides a nice finish to our super satisfying meals. Yum!“

“I was blown away with how friendly Adam was. The reason being is because I feel like good customer service is hard to find these days. Adam started off with giving us great recommendations, asked about our preferences, and even asked about how our day was going. This kind of attitude deserves attention. Music was great along with board games to play. Lastly, the food was great. We recommend the Chicken Club on the grill. Amazing! Thanks for making our day even better, Adam!“

“After face painting for over 2 hours in the sun, I needed something refreshing! I chose this Boba tea house based on yelp and the reviews were spot on. The first drink on the menu was exactly what I needed! I added lychee jelly instead o boba and it’s absolutely delicious. ?“

“Don't let the address of the cafe fool you, while it says Spectrum and you may think it is a cafe in the Spectrum mall, it's just across in the nearby Parks apartment community. It is a really cute cafe with a European feel to it. I'm sure children will love it, as well as adults who crave Nutella anything. Their menu offers everything from coffee, hot chocolate, waffles, crepes, chocolate covered fruits and savory items like flat breads and a beef burger. Ordering was easy via a large iPad. The people working there were great too and were quick to give us recommendations and also tips on where to park the next time. Parking is available around the cafe and if that is full, you can park in the visitor spots inside the community's parking garage. On to the food, what can I say, how can anyone complain about Nutella? To mix things up, I ordered their crepe with half Nutella, half Biscoff and with strawberries. A very good decision, I must say. The Biscoff was definitely a good surprise. As if I didn't have enough Nutella, I went ahead and ordered the Nutella hot chocolate. It was interesting in a good way. I fully expected a hot chocolate with a hazelnut flavor, but there's actual Nutella in it. My husband ordered the chicken flatbread and liked it but he was swiping at my sweet treats more often than I liked. Overall, a good experience and I would definitely come back again when I am craving crepes.“

“East Orange eatery with a yummy selection of breakfast and brunch items on their menu. Weekends are busy but if you want to go when it's not crowded then come by after 11 am. Take in the nature nearby early in the morning and swing by Cyrano's Caffe for great food, drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere.“

“Found this gem of a restaurant today. Meant to go to the Mexican place next door but they were not open. It's like you're stepping back into time, including the prices! Nostalgic, old school American Fare. The pancakes looked really good but we were there for lunch. Fast and efficient service. One star off because they do charge 4% for credit cards. This should just be built into the price of the food. Also they charge $1 for ranch which I was not told about. Otherwise it is a great find!“

“I can’t begin to explain how friendly, efficient and comfortable this establishment is.The minute you walk through the door the staff always greets you with a smile and offer you the soup of the day.Once you sit down the staff is consistently checking on you.if you want water or if they can help you with your trash or ask you how the foods tasting.It’s hard to find a place that offers everything from the local games to the big games, great beer and absolutely perfect service.If you have a chance check out the bar top and ask Hector what new beer is on tap. He’s always willing to take the time and share the new arrivals.Nothing beats good customer service and great food.“

“The food is good. I've heard people complain about the price, but the place is convenient. If you work in the building like I do. It is very convenient. I just don't appreciate the older Asian women that start speaking in their language, look me up and down. Start talking and laugh. You don't have to know a language, to know that something is being said about.“

“Stumbled upon Scratch Bakery Café while searching for breakfast online, and it was a delightful find! Their English muffin egg cheese sandwich is an absolute delight – made from scratch, it's a must-try. My boyfriend enjoyed the southwest breakfast sandwich, and we topped it off with a perfect cinnamon roll. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a delicious brunch before a beachwalk in Orange County!“

“After a long days work of watching friends and spouse at tennis camp, what better way to refuel than healthy salad and a filling sando? The restaurant has a pleasant sit down style layout with more cushy seats on the far wall, but we weren’t just looking for a place for its looks. Our cashier took our orders with lightning speed and we got our food in less than 10 minutes with 5 ppl ordering. Service to get seated was *chef’s kiss*. Wife ordered the steak chimichurri sando with home made buns and I got the keto salad with extra meat. HIT THE SPOT. After nearing food coma, we brought our plates back to its storage home for clean up near the exit, and went back home on our merry way. Would I come back here? You darn right I will.Let’s go!!“

“I like the butter crossiant. Pretty light and airy. Stopped by on a whim since I have something to do in the area. Prices are reasonable but they are out of dollar bills, soi got a bunch of coins. Flat white is pretty strong, which is to my likingw“

“I had just flew into SNA and needed to find a local coffee shop to work before I hit the road again. There were plenty of fine establishments to choose from, but Olive Grove Cafe stood out for me because of its open air industrial look. I got to the cafe around 8:45am on a Tuesday morning. It was cool how this cafe was connected to a marketplace and a cafeteria. I could see it being the one-stop-shop for employees in the surrounding businesses. There was plenty of seating, so I snagged a table with a outlet. The place was busy but quiet since most customers were there working. Also appreciated that there wasn't any ambient music blasting. I could work here all day if I had the time. The place offered free, fast wi-fi, which was a huge plus. I took my remote calls without lag or downtime. Customer service was excellent. There was one barista holding down the fort. She was very friendly and made a solid latte for me.“

“I've had this place bookmarked for a bit and finally got the chance to go yesterday. It did not disappoint! The place is in an office plaza, so its a little hidden if you're not looking for it. Ambiance inside is great with plenty of seating inside and few tables outside. Got my usual latte and it was delicious! Good coffee flavor (bonus points for using Sightglass coffee!), shot wasn't bitter or acidic and good foam to make latte art! Personally, I love the 'for here' option to drink from a mug. Pastries are also good. I got their ham and cheese which had a good ham to croissant ratio lol. Service is also great! Everyone was really nice and they're also quick to make drinks/food. Good spot to get some work done, hang out, etc. I loved it so much, I went back this morning. I only wish I lived closer.“

“Love this place! Food is always great. Made fresh. Staff are always nice and give great service. My favorite thing to get here is the TUNA MELT! I am not a fan of tuna at all until I had theirs. There are times where they will run out because they make a certain amount of tuna salad for the day. Not complaining about that, I just know that it was made fresh that day, so I definitely love it! So order ahead by calling in. If you're not a fan of it at all, give any of their sandwiches a try and ask them to add that chipotle sauce, changes everything, you will thank you me later. If you are in the Irvine area, give them a try!Kid-friendliness: They have baby seat chairs for dine-in and kid friendly items as well.Parking: Since this is a small cafe surrounded by business establishments it will be difficult to park but it is fortunate that you do not have to pay for any parking. Usually people come to just pick up and go so parking isn't usually a problem.“

“So I was contacted by the company and they convinced me to give them another try. Everything was 180 from my previous visit. Seated quickly, responsive waiter and coffee that was actually hot. It's breakfast, so not too hard to NOT mess it up. Breakfast food was good.“

“I love to stop here on my way to work, the staff is always so friendly, the Vietnamese coffee is my favorite, paired with a breakfast sandwich, it starts my day off great. I normally don't even drink coffee, but it is a special treat that doesn't have a strong coffee flavor...it definitely gives me an extra boost to get thru the day!“

“We ordered takeouts of stewed pork and bbq pork sandwich. The stewed pork’s flavor was okay, but the lean part of the pork was not too tough. The bbq pork sandwich was very good and authentic. So this place averages a 3.5 star.Parking: Spaces are tight here.“

“ONE of the best sandwiches in LADERA! Fresh~ healthy ~ and tasty. Good prices, I will promote these guys, cause I miss Togo's sandwiches, I hate to see our sandwich shops leave our amazing community. The RASHER BOYZ are big fans of this restaurant. Luv ya, please stick around!“

“Been here once and got a torta and breakfast bagel. The torta was great I’d recommend it. Breakfast bagel was good too but not even close to the torta. Quality salsa too with good flavor and spice. Definitely will be back and will give 5/5 if they’re consistent.“

“Alton Cafe is def a hole in the wall place if you want quick, yummy food during lunch. Alton Cafe is my go-to spot for lunch since it's around the corner from where I work. They have all sort of entrees from breakfast, sandwiches, salads, and poke bowls. My usual order would be a turkey, swiss sandwich on a croissant which is to die for, but my review today will be for their poke bowls. For their poke bowls, you're able to choose between 3 or 5 scoops which is either $10 or $11 which is such a steal. From there, you can customize your bowl to you liking by choosing your base, sides, protein, sauces and toppings. My poke bowl tasted super fresh, the quality of fish was super good. The portions are huge as well so a 5 scoop def made me full. Overall, don't sleep on Alton Cafe. It has the best lunches!“

“Located at Nordstrom's 2nd floor. I have been coming here for many many years. One of my favorite places to eat and hang out at. While everyone is shopping, you can find me here. Lol.You go in, order your food at the counter, then they give you a number, then you find a cozy spot in this huge dining room. The servers bring you the order. Fountain beverages available, alcoholic & non-alcoholic options as well. Tons of dessert options & whatever entree floats your boat. In my most recent visit, we got the cheddar & chive biscuit, the tomato basil soup (my favorite), the artichoke spinach dip (huge portion, not enough pita, so ask for more), cilantro lime salad is a winner. For sandwiches, the Santa Fe chicken panini is great. Don't forget the creme brulee & the carrot cake for dessert! Prices are reasonable. The servers will come around with mint chocolate sticks on their tip trays... if you choose to leave gratuity. Other than that, I love coming here.“
