    Quaint cafe - indoor and outdoor seating- street parking. Service was inattentive- coffee was bitter- asked for fresh brew and it was better- had to flag server down for warm up. Portions were generous- good was ok- disappointed with blueberry muffin. Prices average.

    Burrito
    Samantha M.

    Came this morning with my friends for breakfast after a work out. I love it here and come often! The food is always good and the place is so cute. Our server was kind and made sure we got everything we needed, and my friend forgot his hat, the lady was kind enough to run out and follow us down the street to give it back! How generous. It was busy so when we first got there the hostess came across as a little annoyed with the fact we were there, but the other girl was so sweet and greeted us and was very welcoming. I totally understand getting flustered when it's busy! We will definitely be back because we love it here!

    Breakfast burrito

    Honestly the food was nothing special. It was just your less than average breakfast food. I don't think they know what seasonings are as there were none in our food. There was a wait to sit down, which after eating the food kind of shocked me and the service was extremely slow. Our server who was a woman hardly came to check on us but there was a gentlemen who was servicing other tables who would step in for her every now and again and he was lovely. Unfortunately I didn't catch either of their names. I also don't know if this establishment knows what tres leches is but the tres leches pancakes were indeed not tres leches pancakes. It was just dulce de leche topped pancakes which isn't even in tres leches anything. Tres leches is sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and typically whole milk. The breakfast burrito was probably the best part and that's not really saying much. Safe to say I won't be back.

    Visited this amazing cafe on Sunday morning for a good friend's retirement brunch snd celebration. The vibe here is, "American Pickers". Fun, nostalgic and peaceful. The service and food were EXCELLENT!! The breakfasts my family and I had were well-prepared, fresh and delicious. The restaurant was crowded which is a sign of a popular dining destination.

    Stayed at the Doubletree in Whittier since I was here to visit our daughters before a road trip A friend of mine lives in Whittier and his wife had always mentioned wanting to go to this place. We drove by parked and we're seated in what I believe to be the best seat on the property. Outside overlooking the street. Service was quick friendly. The menu is brought enough to make everyone happy. We both ordered the chicken and waffles, which were amazing. Chicken was cooked perfectly not too much breading. The waffles were good with a special butter on it. Also ordered cappuccinos which are made perfectly. We will be back.

    Delicious. Great service. Great ambiance and atmosphere. Outdoor seating. Chicken pesto sandwich was amazing.

    Cute little place with indoor and outdoor seating. Mark was amazingly friendly and attentive. We loved everything we ordered. The portions were good size with fresh ingredients. Free street parking or the parking structures nearby.

    Dirty bird sandwich and Tres leches French toast is a must try they are delicious and can't forget the strawberry lemonade
    Janet J.

    Not what it used to be to be! The new owners hanged the menu and now it sucks. They don't have the tres le he's French toast, now they have a concha. Wish the menu wouldn't have changed

    Cute restaurant in uptown Whittier with eclectic decor. Staff is super and service was great. Strawberry banana waffle was flavorful with fresh strawberries and sliced banana. Two egg breakfast did not skimp on potatoes and eggs were perfectly cooked. Such a hidden gem.. not to be missed

    Latte
    Ann V.

    First time coming here. Only came for coffee and pastries. We came as soon as it opened and we were able to get a table right away. But it definitely gets busy. It's a small cozy spot but delicious. The staff was friendly and welcoming.

    Santa Fe Skillet
    Yulissa C.

    Cute little spot! It has a cottage house feel to it and is a nice spot to check out in Uptown. Very accommodating staff, it was busy but we were seated within 20 mins& no reservation! I ordered the Iced Chai Latte that I was very pleased with, and the Santa Fe Skillet (without the dairy products it usually comes with). The portion size was perfect and it satisfied my appetite. I got to try out the Chicken & Waffles- can't go wrong with this! It comes with a Cinnamon Butter that pairs very nicely. Overall a simple but charming neighborhood find, and has a nice view of Uptown that is lovely to enjoy on a breakfast/ day out!

    Raspberry cream danish
    Flor M.

    Came to dine on a Friday afternoon around 11:30am, which is a great time to go as it's not as busy. While sitting and waiting for my party to arrive, I met the owner who was sitting right next to me talking to other guests. She shared with me the beautiful story behind the name and the concept of her restaurant. She named it aunties inspired by her own nieces and nephews because she welcomes every guest dining like a niece and nephew. The concept and ambience she strives for is both welcoming and that comfort of home feeling that you get when you visit your aunties house. After hearing the back story of how the owner wanted this restaurant to represent a sense of community with all its personal touches, details, and incredible food I now have a new found appreciation for this restaurant. If there's a wait, I will be patient because I'm supporting a business owner who is truly passionate about her restaurant. My favorite area to sit in is the side where my favorite server Mark is. He is honestly the best and sweetest. Always attentive and checking in. Makes great recommendations when you are indecisive. The rest of the staff is also amazing from the host, baristas, cooks, and busser. The service overall is incredible. Iced lattes here are amazing. Highly recommend the butterscotch flavor which has a bit of caramel, vanilla, and hazelnut. Simply delicious and not overly sweet. Definitely recommend the raspberry cheese danish. It's buttery, flaky, and soft in all the right places with a delicious filling of raspberry and cheese that compliments in all the right ways. Definitely reminds me of the Svenhard's berry horn danishes. Soo good! Of course, I had to order the chicken and waffles because it's my personal favorite. The fried chicken is soo good and the waffle stays perfectly fluffy even as leftovers. Overall, such an amazing dining experience and I look forward to my next visit!

As we waited, I started noticing something interesting: two parties who came in after us were seated immediately. Then almost 30 minutes went by. At that point, I poked my head back in and said, "Hey, we put our name down about 30 minutes ago, and I've noticed people coming in and getting seats." Immediately, the hostess who originally helped us said, "Yes, yes... sorry about that. You can choose a table right now." So apparently our table had been available in the Witness Protection Program. To make matters worse, we were seated next to one of the parties that arrived after us, and we got to enjoy the thrilling experience of watching them receive their food before we even ordered. The food itself was good overall. The only miss for me was the mac and cheese, which tasted like KFC mac and cheese that had a passionate encounter with a jar of jalapeño juice. Would I come back? Maybe. The food was decent, but for a first visit, the service definitely left a stronger impression than the meal did.

Obviously steaks but chicken and seafood are also ok the menu. We did the Sunday brunch for $49 which included bottomless mimosa, champagne, or fruit juices; a starter salad or parfait and a breakfast entree of your choice. I chose the sirloin steak and eggs. Very good value! Our server was excellent! She kept our drinks full and explained everything on the menu! She also went out of her way to meet all the requests from our large group (including our bill splitting request). Ambience is best described as dark.

Even when they're slammed, Tiffany has never been short or rude or grumpy towards me or any other customer that I've seen. 3) The food: classic, huge portions. I always have enough leftovers for a second meal later in the day or the following day. I love this establishment and hope it remains open for many more years!

I had pancakes, bacon, and scrambled eggs. Bacon was not a good quality, super thin. Pancakes were less than average. They could have come out of a box. Eggs moist. My husband had chilaquiles and they were not appetizing at all. Small portion. Salsa was in a tiny plastic container and could have come out a jar. Coffee was good . This recommendation for the owners is to make it better so that it can be here for years to come. Simplify your menu. Review each recipe for flavor and portions. Maybe make a weekend brunch menu special and make it delicious. Try better quality ingredients. Spend less on presentation and ambiance. Make it taste better and people will come back again. Best of luck in the future.
