My first time trying CANAN'S BREAKFAST AND BAKERY and I loved it so much that I came back again the next day! The service was amazing, especially from Eda and Zhonnet. I had no idea what to order, and they recommended the BEST dishes ever. The food is incredibly fresh and full of flavor. My favorites have to be the menemen and the spinach pastry SO delicious! Thank you, ladies, for making such amazing food and creating such a welcoming experience. I can't wait to come back again! read more

I found this place on Yelp and absolutely loved it! The interior design is beautiful, refreshing, and filled with lovely floral touches on the walls that create such a welcoming atmosphere. The service was excellent, and everything we tried was delicious. The food tasted fresh and truly felt like homemade dishes, which made the experience even more special. I also ordered a Turkish coffee and Panini --it was good and nicely presented. You can really feel that this is a family-owned business, and that warmth shows in both the food and the service. I highly recommend this place and will definitely come back whenever I'm in the area! read more

A very quaint cafe. The food was very good and not too heavy, which was great. There was a nice balance of egg, meat, and vegetarian dishes available. I love the flavors and spices they used and all their dishes. It can be busy if you're going in the morning since it's a smaller space but people are constantly coming and going so that we won't be long. I definitely recommend their Turkish style breakfast, which is easy to share and if you are on a couple small things, you can easily feed 4 people. Easy parking and easy to get to due to its close proximity to the freeway. read more

Oh, this place is so cute. Ever since I watched Physical: Asia and saw how strong the Turkiye women are, I've been wanting to try their cuisine. I finished a workout and happened to look on Yelp. To my delight I found this Turkish place in Fountain Valley. The ladies here are so cute. I wasn't brave enough though to try something completely Turkish and got the avocado toast instead. Still really delicious and I loved the flavoring on the egg. The Turkish coffee was so delicious and actually didn't give me a stomach ache like some other coffees do. Amazing. In addition, the small decorative touches are so cute like the flowers and the plating, I loved it. The rose jelly (?) with the nuts was excellent, I don't usually have that and it was so yummy! It was very kind to place that there for me to try! Next time I'll be braver and try more of their cultural foods! :) Side note: I loved the music. I stayed longer because I wanted to hear more! read more

I was on my way to have breakfast at Paul's Coffee Shop but I parked in front of this bakery and said to myself "why not" I ordered myself an iced americano and a ground beef borek. The coffee I feel like I can get anywhere, so not bad, but the borek was pretty good, it was flaky and warm like a Vietnamese pate chaud. The gentleman helping provided excellent service. I didn't expect for him to bring my order to the table but he did was very nice. That alone would make me come back one day. It's not a place I would come back anytime soon but it was some I'm glad I gave a chance and try something new. read more

What a hidden gem this spot is! One of the few spots serving Turkish food for breakfast in the OC and they are doing it so well here! The interior is well decorated and there's plenty of table seating when you walk in. There's 2 display cases at the front showing a variety of baked goods and sweets that they have available. I settled on ordering the breakfast plate as it sounded pretty unique and I was not disappointed! The plate included eggs, a mixed salad, honey & butter, homemade strawberry jam, olives, simit, two cheeses, & two cups of turkish tea with sugar on the side! It was all very delicious and I quite enjoyed being able to sample and try the different items at my own pace. The eggs were freshly cooked and the bread was warm when I bit into it. The mix salad was refreshing and the jam and honey were great to slather onto the bread! The turkish tea definitely woke me up and I loved the flavor of it. This breakfast plate was so hearty and I got pretty full after eating it so I would say you are getting your money's worth. The staff were also incredibly kind and helpful when I had any questions. I can't wait to bring my friends here to check out this spot and I highly recommend coming in if you want a Turkish breakfast, it's delicious! read more

Let me start off by saying, what a hidden gem of a place! This was our first time there, my boyfriend and I. We wanted to try a place that was new and different. Was getting tired of seeing never ending Mexican restaurants. Don't get me wrong, we love Mexican food, but time to venture out for a variety. Never had Turkish coffee, delights except for Baklava or breakfast before, so we were looking forward to the experience. Okay, it was YUMMY!! Service was wonderful and welcoming. The owner, Canan was such a sweet lady! Was a pleasure meeting her, she was very engaging and was the one who brought out our drinks and food. Ambiance was casual, decor was very pretty inside, great cafe place to meet up with a friend or two because, or to go on a 4th date. Definitely going back again to try Menemen and other delights. read more

first time. lovely experience. everything was very good, but not extraordinary. the avocado toast was pretty bland, couldn't taste the avocado or cream cheese. the turkish coffee was a surprise - i don't usually drink black coffee unless it's very good coffee, this one i could drink it black. loved the candy that came with the coffee. service was basic, more like neighborhood family restaurant style, and they both were on the quiet side. the decor was nice and chic, not so fancy. the place was clean and quiet. overall, it's on the pricier end. read more

Canan's Kitchen & Bakery - avocado toast, turkish coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

I ordered the spinach omelette and it was a decent portion and it was really flavorful for just a spinach omelette. And we ordered the soujouk omelette. First off the dish was supposed to have poached eggs and the eggs were way overdone. In fact, they were fried. The yolks were completely overdone. The soujouk sausage was spicy and good but they were small, cut the size of quarters. And the portion was really small for $18. Wasn't worth the money but all in all it was tasty. It comes with a small baguette and that was good. Probably wouldn't go back only because the soujouk sausage dish was the only one I liked and it really is not worth your money for that small portion. read more

Cute little place, food was good, and the service was super nice. I caught up with a girlfriend of mine and we literally sat there until 5 minutes till closing them and the restaurant didn't say anything (we didn't realize we had stayed for that long until we left that we noticed that their hours ends at 2:30 . Oooops! But anyway, very nice place to grab a lunch! I highly recommend! They also gave us this dessert called "Noah's Pudding" which was like rice pudding , cinnamon, nuts, beans and served cold. Very refreshing! read more

Wow, just wow... Was craving for Turkish coffee and I found this nearby. They open from 8:30am so I have to wait for 15mins and not known what to expect since it's very flowery decor at the entrance. Once I got it, the lady (cook, chef, staff, waitress) was asking if I want a menu so I say yes - not hungry since I was about to go to the gym after the coffee. The next thing I know, I ordered breakfast, Soujuk Omlette...just say that I cleaned the plate and the sesame bagel. The coffee, well, it was delis and it came w/ a sweet and rose water. She offered me a compliment cup of tea with I drank it like water...then the thing I know I ordered baklava (4 to be exact). Yup, there go my figure and the gym. I'm going home for a nap for sure. Thank you for a delightful foods and drinks. Hopefully I can control myself next time. Will be back, plus this place is "women owed business", definitely a cherry on top for sure. read more

Quaint and cozy place comes to mind in this Turkish Cafe. We wanted a new place to try something new for brunch and this place that was family-owned came up on Yelp nearby. Ali's service was very helpful and he recommended the brunch for 2 for $42 which includes the egg & sausage (part of personal choice), salad, fries, cheese pastry & platter, yummy nuts, olives, bread bagel, & crackers, honey & a house-made jam. So delish! We will be back and possibly bring my tea party group for next time! read more

I would have given 5 stars but a couple things went wrong. First, the eggs are not pouched, they are simply overcooked. Second, look at the portion of the soujuk omelette, not worth the price. However, to end up with a high note, the taste is amazing. The sausage has the right mixture of being spicy and salty and it works well with the eggs. The bread was fresh and spinach omelette was good. I missed a little greens with it, a small amount with some vinegar maybe just to fill up the plate and add some taste. read more

This is the type of place you'd expect a Turkish grandma or auntie to come bursting through the kitchen to make sure you'd had enough to eat. Yes, it's that homey(!) and their decor, lovely. We ordered the egg and Turkish sausage- tasty and flavorful; avocado toast- delish; egg scramble with diced tomatoes- really good(!) and the cheese appetizer- highly recommend. read more

So I have a soft spot for turkish food as it reminds of the time I lived in Qatar and took a trip to Turkey (but also because it was all around Qatar as well). I discovered menemen in Turkey when I was already a sucker for the similar but different shakshuka so I had to come in. I was there for a solo breakfast and was quickly greeted into a homey spot. Breakfast was about to start so in the meantime, I ordered my turkish coffee and got a savory spinach boreg. Freshly baked and delicious while my turkish coffee come out with a little sweet treat (jelly) on a toothpick just like in turkey. Menemen came out fast and I ate all of it. I love eggs and tomatoes with fresh crisp but soft bread! I paid at the counter and the owner sweetly asked if I could write a review, little did she know, I was already going to! read more

We had an appointment in an office next door and decided to come over after for some treats! The inside was really cute and cozy. The workers were sweet and even gave us a sample of the atom and salty cookie to try! They were great, especially the salty one! I could see both being amazing pairs to either coffee or tea. We got quite a few of their treats and all were nicely made. The regular baklava was super crispy still and such a delight. I'll definitely come back to hopefully get a chance to sit and relax a little more there! read more

This is such a "find" in our neighborhood. It's a sweet little cafe run by folks who want to give you a truly warm experience.

It's now a part of our breakfast group's rotation of breakfast places, nice to try food that makes you want more. read more

We visited a cozy little Turkish restaurant in Fountain Valley and absolutely fell in love with it. It's a true family-run gem--grandma in the kitchen with her grandsons helping out, serving up delicious, homemade food with so much love. From the traditional Turkish breads to the omelette, cheese, olives--everything was fresh, authentic, and top-notch. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, just like being at someone's home. We loved every bit of it. I'll definitely be going back, and I'll be recommending this place to my friends, family.It's a spot everyone should experience! read more

I went about a week or two ago: I loved it!! I got a Turkish breakfast for two and the cheese and jams and honey were DELICIOUS The simit was a 10/10 I love when the sesame is a extra toasty The menemen was so good; I'd imagine the portion is bigger for two people bc the person behind me got an individual order and it was BIG The cookies and baklava were also very crunchy and crispy, we got a sample of the candy with roses(I don't remember what it's called but it was so good ) the service was quick although the place is a bit small I managed to fit my daughters stroller at our table read more

Wow, what a hidden gem this is. I've eaten at Paul's next door and never noticed this place. My friend and I were eating at Turkish Kitchen about a block away and I was searching for other Turkish restaurants when I saw this place and knew I had to try it. They specialize in Turkish breakfast items. They do have a panini though if you don't feel like breakfast. Place is pretty big inside. You walk in and there's a bigger table for large groups but then they have several tables for smaller groups. They have have two display cases full of sweet and savory baked goods. My wife and I went in wanting to try a bunch of different things so they recommended the "Serpme" breakfast which is for sharing. It's hard to judge the size of it based off yelp photos but our waitress said it will be plenty of food. We figured we could order more later if needed but it ended up being PLENTY of food for two hungry people. This meal comes with 3 glasses of Turkish tea. It's strong and delicious so if two tea drinkers each get a refill you'll just pay for 1 cup since 3 are included. This was a very fun breakfast with lots of variety. We were brought out a basket of fresh baked rolls, a bowl of mixed salad, a metal dish with over easy eggs cooked with soujuk sausage, and a huge platter with different cheeses, olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, grapes, dried apricots, some sort of nougat candy, simit which is like a bagel covered in toasted sesame seeds, homemade strawberry jam, thick bowl of honey, butter, and the most decadent cheese stuffed pastry I've ever had. So much stuff going on and plenty of it for us to eat our fill. The buttery cheesy pastry was our favorite and they sell it by the slice so next time I think I'll buy another so we each get our own piece! You'll be fighting over it. I used the simit to dip into the honey and the roll to eat up the best strawberry jam I've ever tasted. The soujuk was salty so that helped balance out all the sweet. Seriously, my wife and I loved the experience. After our meal I ordered two Turkish coffees which come with a piece of turkish delight and some rose infused water. Since I wanted to taste more stuff I also got a date cookie and some "salted cookies". Be warned, the coffee is scorching hot so let it cool down a bit. My wife hated the salted cookies but I really liked them so I got to eat both! Score! The date cookie was dense and filled with dates and paired perfect with the coffee. Turkish coffee makes espresso seem weak. Other things on the menu are a smaller version of the mix plate, spinach merlette, ground beef & eggs, avocado toast, fresh fruit pancakes, Menemen(scrambled eggs with tomatoes and peppers), and for somebody not in the mood for breakfast a soujuk panini. Plus lots of sweet and savory goodies in the bakery case. Service and food was fantastic. I cannot wait to return and try more things! read more

Hey Beautiful People! So you know how IG and TikTok have put Turkish breakfasts on the map, especially in the past few years? I'm sure you could imagine how thrilled I was to find out that a Turkish breakfast spot is here in Orange County. Without leaving the country, I could finally see what all the hype is! First thing's first...this cafe is super cute & picture-worthy. It's also minority woman-owned and operated, so I'm all about supporting that! But what about the food?! Splendid! But I do wish there was more variety. Here's what I recommend: 1.) Breakfast Plate - Good enough for two people to share. The eggs were so fluffy and the plate was gorgeous, but again, I wish the variety was the stuff of legends like the pictures I've seen. 2.) Avocado Toast - Just because you get 2 slices for the price of 1, haha. 3.) Ground Beef with Egg - It seems so simple, right?! Wrong! You can't easily replicate this at home. The beef is so juicy and buttery...it's not quite ground either, so it's a great texture to go with the eggs. Do any of you have a favorite Turkish breakfast spot in So Cal that might be better than this one? If so, I'd love to know! Thanks! read more

Canan is such a sweet lady and was so welcoming to us. I had only heard of Turkish hospitality, but this was my first time actually experiencing it! The mixed (serpme) breakfast was yummy and just enough for my girlfriend and I as lunch. Filling, but not heavy. As an American, it was like eating Turkish charcuterie. So good! Wish I could have this for breakfast all the time. From looks alone, I thought the simit (Turkish bagel) was going to be dry, but it was so fluffy and tasty. The Turkish coffee was also very good- strong and rich but not bitter. The restaurant itself isn't super big, but it's very quaint and cozy. There's one seating area for a larger group, and a handful of tables for 2-4. The plaza has its own parking, which was not at all hard to find on a Friday afternoon. read more
