Great service, ambiance, and food, especially the country fried steak. I'll be back for sure.

Service is rude, inside is a very strong cigarette smell, food is very greasy and overpriced

Croque Madame is fantastic! Great service and high quality fare! A must when you visit.

Great menu, clean restaurant, friendly service. Just a great vibe all around. I observed our server going above and beyond for every diner in the place. If I lived here, this restaurant would be an every weekend thing. read more

Food is OK, but the manager fawning over my wife while completely ignoring me, asking her 10 times how her food is and not even glancing at me, for example, when I've been in the place well over a dozen times with her, is just weird. Even my wife was uncomfortable enough to ask him if he didn't recognize me as the person always in there. He just said "I think I saw him in here once with you" and went back to the smiling with her. Plenty of other places to eat around here without being made to feel like I'm a third wheel by the people I'm paying to at least be hospitable. Never again, which is a shame, because I was the one who suggested we go there. read more

This is an amazing breakfast spot! The wait on Saturday morning was around 30 minutes so be prepared to walk around or sit and have something to drink. We chose to wait longer for an outside spot since the weather was perfect. I ordered the eggs Benedict with spinach. It came with a side of wonderful hash browns. The veggie burrito came also with a side of hash browns that we substituted out for a fruit cup for no additional charge. Great portion sizes and tasty food! read more

Fast friendly service! Absolutely delicious breakfast! The French toast, poached eggs, fresh house made salsa, steak and eggs... etc... everything I have dined on is A+/5-star.

Antoine's Cafe - Mocha Latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Clemente, California

Had a great breakfast and coffee at Antoine's Cafe today! The food was amazing, and the service from Randy was awesome!!

Ask for the pastrami sandwich... the best ever I had so far! Service, coffee and ambiance are great.

Wide selection of menu options including great selection of vegetarian meals. Great coffee, fresh ground, and brewed or espresso specialty drinks available. Great beach atmosphere with superb service. Kitchen nailed all our special requests with no issues or up-charges. Make sure to ask for Adriana as her friendly smile and cheerful demeanor are just as great as the food. The owner is on site to make sure everyone and everything is excellent. The entire time we were there sitting at the counter, never heard a single complaint from anyone, nor saw anything sent back to the kitchen for issues. Strongly suggest for those looking for a feel-good experience. read more

My parents, hubby, and I took a trip down to the San Diego area and stopped in San Clemente for lunch along the way. We fell across this place and although they were busy, we were lucky to find a socially distant table outside. Nothing about this spot blew me away and we were left with an expensive bill. I enjoyed an iced coffee but even service was mediocre. A lot of guests were not wearing masks, but I appreciated that there was plenty of seating outside. I would likely not return unless all other local spots were too packed. I'm sure this is an unpopular opinion, but I just can't recall anything spectacular about this restaurant that made it memorable. read more

I loved Antoine's! Super local, a legit espresso machine, and the food is fabulous. Only downside is the place is small and there's alway a wait. Started with a cappuccino, i was more than impressed with the espresso quality. i then had the breakfast tacos which just blew me away. Eggs, sausage, salsa, cheese, avocado all on a corn tortillaa and yoU get 3 of them. Yum! read more

We have eaten here many, many times...every time we visit Orange County. We drive out of our way to have breakfast here, it's so good. The food this morning was, as usual, amazing. We recommend this restaurant whole-heartedly. What made our experience here this morning quite bad was our server, who I believe was named Travis. He hardly visited our table, leaving his two colleagues to do the main work of refilling our coffees, bringing us our food, and just being friendly and helpful. When he did actually stop by our table, he hardly had a word to say and was even outright rude. I usually leave at minimum a 20% tip even for mediocre service since I've worked in a restaurant before and know what's it's like, but this morning I felt my $1 tip was quite generous. read more

Great food! Great drinks! Great location! Great staff! Definitely a must try when visiting the area!

Such a cute little cafe! It's located right in the heart of San Clemente. The food is phenomenal and the service is very fast! The only downfall is parking can be a little fun when they get busy since they only have a small parking lot. Overall great cafe and I'll definitely be back! read more

Salad was huge and had lots of grilled chicken. Nice location in town. Service was spot on.

Service was good, food was decent. A little over priced in my opinion but it's near the beach so that might be the reason. Nice place

Great food to go for breakfast -- got crepes with goat cheese, breakfast croissant and bacon egg hash brown combos. Delish and highly recommended. Awesome service too at 7 am. Really good and fresh coffee. read more

Love this place Great food - and great coffee Never rushed Great service Place is casual and friendly read more

Great breakfast place! Really enjoy the spectrum of the menu, the coffee is spectacular, and the service is friendly. Is it crowded; yes. But, what place that is any good that isn't crowded? The line moves quick and the food is TOTALY worth it! Ask for Harley! She's a little shy but great at her job. read more

I am probably the wrong person to write a Yelp review for Antoine's Cafe, because I absolutely love the food, the genuine warm service. I literally eat here 3-5 times a week, medium priced but well worth it! You get what you pay for! Most highly recommended. read more

Food: Price was a bit on the high side for the amount of food that I got. Nonetheless, the burrito was good along with the hash browns. Service: Our server took our drinks quickly but took a while (15m) to take our orders. Once we ordered, we took other 30 mins to receive our food which was a bummer.... Location: The restaurant hosted its customers outside with plenty of space between people. On the other hand, there were flys everywhere which made our eating experience a bit annoying and frustrating. Recommend to add mesh wall protectors to take care of this issue or bug zappers. read more

Stopped for breakfast @ Antoines in San Clemente this morning and was quickly seated in a booth which was perfect for a party of 3. We were greeted by our server Dani immediately, she took our drink order and gave us a couple of minutes to look over the menu. Dani returned with perfect timing and explained the menu, we placed our order the she made sure that our drinks were topped off without us asking ! Food was delicious and cooked to perfection, Dani provided us with 5 Star Service along with her great personality and smile ! Antoine's Cafe you have a excellent employee representing your restaurant. A Big Thank You for a wonderful breakfast,service and ambience ! read more

There is a reason this restaurant gets crowded on the weekends and has a line. This place was recommended by a local and I can see why. I ordered the veggie sandwich with fruit instead of potatoes and a cappuccino. Coffee is excellent and the sandwich was very tasty. My husband LOVED his meal of eggs Benedict. Great service! Everyone was super friendly. read more

A hidden gem in San Clemente... from the food to the service. Place gets packed pretty quickly so try to come early. We ordered the crepes and benedicts... and it is all delish...benedicts have the good hollandaise sauce and eggs are perfectly poached. The hashbrowns are pretty good as well, not soggy or oily. The orange juice js freshly squeezed and is sweet too... Kali our server was very attentive and friendly as well. Will definitely come back again to this place when we are in the area. read more

Cannot say enough about this (not so hidden) jewel. I went on a rainy day and the hostess immediately got me a hot cup of coffee while I waited for my table. As I sat at the counter I was welcomed by almost every member of the staff. I was then told about the specials which included a barbacoa scramble and I immediately bit. The meal came with beans, rice and tortillas. So if you're anywhere near San Clemente and are looking for a killer breakfast spot, you should definitely check out Antoine's read more

Breakfast was AMAZING!!! The staff were all very friendly and they have this really cool back-window to the bar next door (Red Fox) where the customers over there can order breakfast thru a door at the bar that leads straight to the kitchen here at Antoine's. Highly recommend stopping by for some breakfast if you're in town. read more

I used to live in San Clemente back 20 years ago. Aintoine's was always a breakfast spot I thought very fondly of. In coming back to California on business, I had a chance to come back to this spot to see if it lived up to the hype in my mind. It did not disappoint!!! This is an amazing breakfast spot with very friendly staff!!The croissant sandwich I had was amazing! One of the staff told me they bake them every day in house and it shows. It was incredible! The coffee is also something judge in a restaurant. As I drink coffee black, quality matters. Again, great coffee!!!! Inside is also very inviting in this small restaurant. The outside dining is always appreciated in SoCal. I highly recommend this spot for anyone in the area. Well worth the visit!! read more
