Popped in for a quick bite, then a treat at Mr. Softee, just down the street before hitting the outlets. I knew Hubs would be keen on just a plain hot dog, which he ordered and enjoyed, but said the bread - THE FRESH BAKED BREAD! - is what really elevated it. He wants to return and get a sandwich on THAT BREAD! lol I hadn't seen any photos of salads on Yelp, but let me clarify they are fresh, delicious, yummy, HUUUUGe and fairly priced! Service does, indeed, seem to be handled by a Mama and a Nona. Be patient, speak clearly. I think I talk really fast when I order, so I got a side of oil & a side of vinegar when I had requested ranch dressing. No biggie, just took it back in and they got me the ranch. Inside has A table and 2 chairs, but was a bit warm, so we took advantage of the patio seating with lots of shade, plenty of room and a fresh sea breeze. Perfect for people watching as well! We grabbed a punch card cuz we could easily see ourselves stopping by again to get road trip sammies. I also have an eye on that homemade pistachio baklava.... Cheers! "CC"

The big man gave my wife some fresh bacon as I gave it up for lent. I really wanted to try it off the grill. However I will be back to this spot.

We shared the Italian sandwich & it was made with love. Thanks guys.

This little deli tucked inside Ottavio's is quickly becoming one of my go-to's for lunch.

The Lighthouse Cafe is my place of choice when getting food at CSUCI. The best pro for the cafe is…read morethe convenience, especially if you only have a 15 minute gap between classes. The Cafe is in the center of the campus (at the Student Union) so it's easier to grab food on the go rather than going up the big hill to get to the market square. What's nice is that they give it to you in a to-go container so that you can grab it and take it class with you (which I do 95% of the time). The Chicken Strips and French fries are really good and are my usual go-to. However they do have other things such as Salads, Deli Sandwiches, Soup of the Day, and their grilled menu (Burgers, chicken wraps, etc). The people who work there are typically students. Customer service is good, they're pretty fast, friendly, and if they are making a new batch of something they're pretty good at telling you how long it will be. Overall Summary: Fast, convenient, Tastes good, beats eating cup of noodles everyday

Note: This is only a review of the Lemon Pound Cake. The food and service here are amazing - get…read moresome. 3 GENERATIONS OF POUND CAKE DATA I grew up eating pound cakes baked by three generations of women who poured their souls into every soft, buttery, rich loaf. To me, that is what pound cake is supposed to be: simple, flavorful, comforting, and made with care. LEMON IN THE TITLE (NO SO MUCH IN THE CAKE) Unfortunately, the lemon pound cake I purchased today for over $15 did not come close to that standard. The color, flavor, and dense, bready interior all pointed to a missed opportunity. I was especially disappointed that the lemon flavor lacked brightness. There was no real sense of lemon zest in the cake or icing, which is what gives a lemon pound cake its character and lift. ICING - EPIC UNDERPERFORMANCE The icing also fell flat. Instead of tasting like a thoughtful glaze or cream cheese-style icing infused with lemon, it came across more like powdered sugar and water sitting on top of the cake. It checked the box visually, but it did not enliven the cake or the senses. NO FUTURE SALE HERE (UNLESS THE PRODUCT IMPROVES) For $15, I should have been excited to come back for another one and maybe pick one up for a friend. Sadly, that was not the case. I would love to see this store put more care into honoring the pound cake tradition with excellence, because pound cake lovers know the difference.

My husband and I came here for the first time with a couple friends who gave it good reviews. I…read moredidn't have a lot of hope when I walked in due to the fact that it has a low key ambiance. I figured we would get something that I could tolerate and it would be okay - generic dining. I did not expect to actually have something to write about. But I was wrong. The grilled chicken they serve with the Chaufa is very nicely seasoned. It is bits of breast meat, grilled with a little char and adds depth to the otherwise mild flavor of the rice dish. My husband had Chaufa with shrimp, which I didn't sample but he ate the entire meal without complaint. We ordered the pork belly bites to start. They were perfectly cooked and seasoned. I enjoyed this appetizer so much that I know I will order it again. If I have the chaufa again, I would definitely have it with the pork belly. I ordered the lemonade and was puckering in a good way. Honestly, it tasted more like limeade than lemon. I was happy it wasn't too sweet because I could really enjoy the refreshing citrus flavors. I would go there just for a lemonade. They serve it icy cold in mug style, mason jar glass. Our friend ordered the iced tea and when it arrived. I was pleasantly surprised by the look of the fresh fruit in the clear glass, frosted over from the cold and ice. So nice. He said the herbs and fruit were a good combination. The wife of the owner waited on us. She is understated, friendly and efficient. We didn't have much of a wait as it looked as though we might have just missed the breakfast/brunch rush. I was impressed with how quickly we received our food. If we hadn't just eaten there a couple days ago, I would have gone to Azafran for dinner tonight. I look forward to making it a favorite local place where I can introduce our visitors to a good neighborhood restaurant.

MY OH MYYYYYYY!! I found this place right when I was driving into the Village to go get coffee and…read moreI am literally speechless. I had the best conversation with the man inside at the deli who took my order yesterday. The cashier was very dry and bland when I tried to be friendly and chipper when I walked in and while checking out but he didn't seem to care. I ordered an Italian Sub with some minor adjustments. I removed the Mortadella, provolone, and red wine dressing, I added genoa salami and garlic aioli instead with the ciabatta bread. I am still in awe of the taste and flavor and freshness. I finished half before work and the other half after because the sandwich was HUGE. It was worth every penny and it was a lot more affordable that I expected. The deli was in a grocery story type location so I was able to walk around and look at snacks and find something to drink as well. The ambiance was quiet, it was during work hours I stopped by so pretty much the entire plaza/Village was a bit empty. I will most definitely be coming by every-time I'm in the area. I loved this place so much. Thank you to the man behind the deli, your sandwich was a work of art!

I don't think there's a bad seat in the house, but we always love to sit outside so that we have a really good view of the aircraft coming and going. I tried the BLT and, oh my!!! One of the best I've had, with lots of thick cut bacon, very crisp, lots of lettuce, tomato and mayo (I ordered it as-is). Half was the size of a regular sandwich so the other half went home with me! RRR ordered the triple decker club on sourdough and loved his as well. Half of his went home also. We both got the cole slaw as our side which has a little pineapple in it. I found it ok, RRR really liked it. We shared a special milkshake, pistachio, and it was heavenly, highly recommended. Service was perfect, there when needed but not overbearing. We so appreciate well-trained staff! Highly recommended.

It gives you time to figure out what to order because you need to order up front. The service was nice and our waiter was friendly. It seems like they increased the price of the milkshake once again, but it was still the same size and really good. Last time, I ordered their burger and it was really small. So this time I ordered a sandwich and I was not disappointed as this one was a decent size. It was really tasty, but I wish they also added a pickle on the side of the sandwiches too. Their salads are also really good along with the bread that comes with it. The ambiance was nice and the planes are not very loud, but there is a lot of people. Overall, this is a nice place for lunch or special events like birthdays for a decent price.

Atmosphere/Service: The atmosphere and setting was very…read morehomey. It was my first time going there, and it felt like everyone knew one another. The waitress and waiter had a very positive attitude towards the customers. They were friendly and had conversations with everyone who walked through their doors. They had both indoor and outdoor seating. It is a dog-friendly restaurant. They even have a dog menu. I personally haven't seen that at a restaurant. Food: The food was absolutely delicious. They had plenty to choose from. I got the "Roxy's" Chicken & Waffles: it came with fried chicken tenderloins, served on top of a buttermilk waffle, with honey, bacon, and one sunny side egg. The chicken was so flavorful. It was well season and cooked right. It was crunchy and flaky. It wasn't oily either. That was a huge plus. I also had a bite of the Huevos Rancheros: it came with two fried eggs, two corn tortillas, mashed black beans, pepper jack cheese, grill jalapeño and your choice of salsa served with breakfast potatoes and we added the Carne Asada for five dollars. I also tasted the Avocado Toast: it was serve with guacamole spread sprinkled with red flakes, extra olive oil, cherry tomatoes, arcadian mix, and balsamic glazed drizzle. It was so delicious . We got a side of onion rings they were so good and crispy. Also the pancakes it was thin it looked like a crepe. It was cute came with a paw print. The cappuccino was tasty. The organic strawberries lemonade was delicious and refreshing. The latte was also delicious. Overall: I'd go back if I was in the area again. I recommend it if you are a dog lover and want to find a place to eat with your furry friend. Also they do close early Monday - Friday they are open from 8am till 2:30pm. And Saturday and Sunday from 8am till 3:00pm
