    This is my go-to spot when I want to avoid huge crowds and long waits. The quieter atmosphere definitely doesn't reflect the quality of the food. I think it gets overlooked because it's a bit tucked away, but it's honestly a hidden gem. I've enjoyed all of their savory dishes, and their pancakes are some of the best around. The coffee is a little too strong for my personal taste, but their lattes are always delicious.

    Great breakfast spot! I was thrilled to see gluten friendly pancakes and waffles on the menu-- and there are lots of other appealing options too. My husband was super happy with his katsu curry. They also offer lots of different coffees and teas. I had the Hawaiian latte and it was a treat. The interior features bright, contemporary decor with sunny yellow accents. I've eaten here for a quick weekday lunch and found the seating ample, but it was predictably more crowded when we came for Sunday brunch. No problem, because there's plenty of outdoor seating too! Service was efficient and friendly. Looking forward to many more breakfasts here.

    Ube pancakes without coconut flakes

    This place has a casual vibe, great food, and plenty of outdoor seating. The staff at the register was friendly in spite of the long line on a Saturday morning. We ordered the chilaquiles and the ube pancakes -- instead of coconut flakes, I added banana slices. The ube pancakes are my favorite now. They were to die for. Amazing texture and flavor. Their Mexican hot chocolate and aloha latte were amazing, too.

    Breakfast Egg Burrito

    On a sunny weekend, Aloha Stacks is a great place to grab brunch. The line was out the door, but moved quickly. You order at the counter and then take your number to a table. They have indoor and lots of outdoor seating available. I tried their breakfast burrito, which at $12 is one of the cheapest around. It includes your choice of protein (bacon, Portuguese sausage, kalua pork, sausage, spam or mixed veggies) with eggs, cheddar and potatoes and comes with a side of refried beans and chips. It's one of the smaller ones out there, but at that price you can't argue. I chose kalua pork and there was a good amount in there. The salsa verde that comes with it is great, and really adds an extra oomph. My husband got the chicken teriyaki plate ($16) which came with two scoops of rice and mac salad. They use chicken breast so it's healthier, but not as flavorful as dark meat. Would like to come back for those ube pancakes and some Portuguese sausage! Ample parking the lot.

    I was treated to a brunch / lunch at Irvine for Aloha stacks. It's is unique fusion of American, Hawaiian, Hispanic breakfast. Portions are large, food is tasty. Overall the restaurant is fast food style, and they do bring your plates to your table. Service is friendly. Aloha stacks is located at busy plaza and it's not a big restaurant inside. It also shares patio seatings outside with the other restaurants in the plaza. Vibe is new, clean, and American fusion Hawaiian style breakfast, brunch and lunch restaurant. Overall the taste on dish are good, and different enough to warrant visits.

    Ube coconut waffles
    Suzy N.

    Aloha Stacks is one of those spots that's easy to come back to when you're craving something sweet and satisfying. I ordered the ube coconut waffles along with an ube latte, and both came out to my table quickly and were exactly what I was hoping for. The waffles were fluffy with a light crisp on the outside, and the ube flavor was also fluffy and rich without being too sweet. The coconut paired really nicely and added a little extra texture that made each bite better. The ube latte was smooth, creamy, and not overly sugary. It was such a perfect balance with the waffles. Overall, it's a great place to grab breakfast when you're in the mood for something a little different but still comforting. Their menu also has savory options but I was here to satisfy my sweet tooth. If you're an ube fan, this is an easy recommendation, and I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    Loco Moco w/ Fried Rice
    Christine N.

    I've been here 4x in a month. My daughter and I stopped by to have brunch with my my gfs after their Pilates class. We loved it so much. Then came back with the rest of the family and then 2x with my work buddies. Each time I've like everything we ordered. I tasted my friend's dishes too and I can't say I found anything I didn't like. 01. Blueberry Pancakes $4 (single stack) - 5 Stars - Fluffy and loaded with fresh blueberries, not the frozen ones. You can see the fresh blueberries in whole form. Light and fluffy, perfectly cooked. I get at least 1 pancake at each visit. 02. Breakfast Burrito - 4 Stars - Solid burrito and a good size. You can customize it to your liking, I got mine with Portuguese Sausage. The salsa that comes with it was tasty. 03. Strawberry N' Cream Pancake (kid's meal) $8 - 4 Stars - Great deal for the kids. The portion was big enough for an adult. 04. Chicken Katsu Waffles - 3.5 Stars - The Katsu was crispy (not seasoned enough) and the waffles were ok. Our least liked item from our visit. 05. Turkey Avocado Melt w/ Tater Tots - 4 Stars - Oh the Tots won me over. I haven't had a Tater Tots in so long. Good as I remembered. The turkey sando was simple but good. The bread was toasted perfectly. 06. Loco Moco w/ Fried Rice - 4 Stars - We sub the white rice for fried rice which is the way to go. The gravy was seasoned well and the eggs are done to your preference. If you want more gravy, just ask for more. PARKING - Lots of parking in the plaza so don't worry. CUSTOMER SERVICE - The staff are super friendly and always willing to help. The recognize you after a few visits. FOODS - I am a true fan. I haven't found a breakfast/brunch spot that has a great menu, good tasting foods and friendly service. This one checks all of my list. Food is tasty. Their drinks are good too. VERDICT - If coming 4x within a month doesn't speak how much I like them, I'm not sure what will. Try it out, it's definitely a hidden gem in Irvine/OC. I'll see you soon Adrian!!!

    Ube Coconut Pancakes and loco moco
    Keri N.

    Came on a Sunday morning so expected to be busy but overall did not take too long to get our food. Stood in line to order and then was given a number to leave on the table. Lots of seating outside and servers were able to bring the food out in less than 10 minutes. Lots of seating, especially outdoors so very dog friendly. Ube pancakes were very soft, coconut flakes were cooked into the pancakes and on top. Not too sweet as well. Loco moco was pretty decent, typically what you would expect but the hamburger patty was slightly dry. Would definitely come back for a quick and affordable breakfast option!

    This is a solid brunch spot! There are a few tables inside but I love the outdoor seating - great for people watching while you enjoy a nice meal :) The portions are generous and everything comes out very quickly. The ube waffles are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the ube filling is not too sweet at all. The oatmeal is also tasty and generously portioned, I enjoyed the fresh fruit and the side of brown sugar to sprinkle on top! Staff here is also very friendly and sweet :)

    Corned beef and hash Loco Moco with a side of spam... mouth watering!! So good!
    Jax M.

    This place is amazing! Food and service were great! You know it's amazing restaurant when the line is out the door. The servers were quick with taking orders and getting everything out so that made it 10 times even better. Inside was busy for seating but they have tons of seats outside with heaters on 24/7.

    Loco Moco
    Frank F.

    Loco Moco is a dish that holds a special place in my heart as my first breakfast whenever I kickoff my trip in Hawaii. I was delighted to find Aloha Stacks, a local gem in a great part of Irvine in close proximity to my home. Aloha Stacks to satisfies my craving. Eating at the restaurant is an effortless experience being in a fantastic area with lots of parking. The Loco Moco is excellent pick. It a dish piled high with the perfect combination of white rice, egg, gravy and hamburger patty (or your protein choice) and a very satisfying portion. The meal instantly transports me back to the islands and tastes authentic. If your looking for great Loco Moco without the flight, Aloha Stacks is a must visit.

    This Aloha Stacks is nestled in a lovely clean shopping center with abundant outdoor seating spaces and some indoor seatings. The ordering process took awhile because of a snaking long line. I decided to sit outside and the food arrived relatively quickly. The chai I had was sickly sweet and had too much ice in it. I should have had pancakes or something instead of their limited offering omelet. It essentially had way too much meat inside and had an awful texture. Every bite I took was too salty and had a gritty meat texture or very rubbery egg taste. No bueno. I also had to go hunt for utensils, napkins, and condiments as none was offered. In short, I wouldn't mind revisiting in the future to try some of the other offerings. But.....I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there.

    Omelet
    Melody G.

    Came to this center for lunch in-between my daughter's games. Chose Aloha Stacks because the menu had such a variety and we loved the feel of being at a quaint breakfast spot in Hawaii. I got the Kobe beef plate & the beef was delish. The mushrooms that came with it had so much flavor. The macaroni salad was just okay. My daughter got chicken tenders, cant go wrong with that. Husband got the omelet & potatoes an was average. I'd for sure go back and get the plate again or try the yummy looking savory breakfast items.

There were about 3 people ahead of me in line and a few waiting for drinks, but I was able to order and get my drink in around 10 minutes. Staff was very friendly and checked in with us while waiting in line! I ordered the Matcha Two, which comes as a matcha latte topped with salted matcha vanilla cream foam. The foam was velvety and creamy. The matcha had a smooth, earthy flavor with subtle sweetness. Oatmilk was the default choice, and while I usually think oatmilk can overpower matcha, it worked well in this drink. It is a little pricey for 1 drink, but that also seems to be the norm these days for specialty drinks. This is more of a grab-and-go spot than a place to hang out. There's no seating, just a bench inside, and everyone waited outside since the interior is on the smaller side. Parking was easy when I went. Overall, a pleasant experience for a yummy matcha drink, and I'd definitely come back to try more of their matcha menu!

The staff was really friendly and seemed to work well together. The matcha was really good, not too sweet, not overly milky, and not bitter. My boyfriend tried the blueberry matcha and surprisingly it didn't taste syrupy or artificial at all. It had a really fresh blueberry flavor without that candle-like taste some places have. We actually finished our drinks before we even left the plaza, which says a lot because we usually take forever to finish drinks. Definitely a solid matcha spot.

Drinkable but not worth coming back for. Last time I came in alone and had a Flat White that was terrible and I dumped it out. I did not have time to ask for another but I'm sure they would have remade it. Wall Writers is located in an office complex but in a good way. There is plenty of free parking and in the afternoon and on Saturdays you can park right at the entrance. The restroom is located in a separate building across the courtyard and watching people search for it can be mildly entertaining LOL It is a nice place to work with plenty of natural light and a wonderful patio for enjoying nice weather. I just wish the drinks were a little better. But because of the convenient location I will probably try it again. Maybe Ill try something iced?
