I met a friend for lunch and we both enjoyed our meal very much. I had the chicken tortilla soup…read morewhich was hearty and flavorful! I struggle with cheese in soups and chili because it "coats" the spoon and feels lumpy. But it tasted delicious as did my tuna melt. The staff were very friendly, patiently answered our questions since it was our first time eating there. The decor and atmosphere were welcoming, homemade cooking and conversation thriving in this business tucked back in a small strip mall location. I especially loved the cork board with receipts for extra meals already paid for, so people needing a hand can get what they need in a respectful inconspicuous manner. What a loving gesture. The pricing was fair or the generous portions. I highly recommend this cafe, they do things right!

I used to genuinely enjoy supporting this bakery, which makes this disappointing to write…read more After learning more about how the tip jars are handled, I no longer feel comfortable spending money there. Like most customers, I assumed the tips placed in those jars were going directly to the employees working behind the counter and making drinks during busy rushes. Finding out that employees reportedly do not directly receive those tips feels misleading and leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The staff always seem to work incredibly hard, especially during rushes, and customers tip because they want to support THEM. If tip money is being used differently, customers deserve transparency about that. For me personally, this -- combined with other experiences that made me feel unwelcome -- has changed how I view the business entirely. I'll be choosing to support other local businesses moving forward.

Owners were caught keeping staff tips. The worst business ethics…read more Bakery items look better than they taste. Not worth buying.

I've dined at bellflower multiple times and I've only had great experiences at the restaurant. For…read morethis instance, I came to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. We were escorted to our table by our lovely host, and when we arrived at our table in the back of the restaurant, there was a cute "happy birthday" table card waiting for us. This was incredibly thoughtful and a nice touch for our celebration dinner. Also, I love how this restaurant is decorated - the art work, the furniture, and plants - all come together to create a welcoming, cozy, warm atmosphere for any dining experience. I also love how the menu continuously rotates and highlights fresh produce from local suppliers. We both ordered a different dish and shared, plus we had some leftovers, so the portions are very generous. We also tried some of the oysters with vinaigrette they were fresh and delicious. To conclude our dinner, we were gifted with a DELIGHTFUL banana pudding with a scoop of ice cream and a candle to make a wish (though our wish for a wonderful meal and dining experience was throughly satisfied already ) Thanks again for a great time bellflower!

Fantastic meals and outstanding service! The ambience was very welcoming. We were two couples and…read moreshared the starters - plenty for four people. The salad was fresh and well dressed - simple but good. The second starter was sardine tin. Very very good. Not overly fishy and the garnishes served with it were perfect. For mains which are enough to share, one was the trout! Absolutely well seasoned and crispy. It is served whole and butterflied. We changed the side to the house vegetable. OMG these sautéed garden veggies were the best! The other main was a Japanese curry dish. Here is why the five starting dropped to a four. It was just ok. We would not order again. For dessert we had the bread pudding- another star for the night! To the owner, terrific staff. Everyone we engaged in, were positive and knowledgeable. They are a great team! Looking forward to a second visit!

First impressions ... a dimly lit, 1970's vibe that is clean and well maintained. Restroom is…read moreclean. I ordered the Public House burger ... a small beef patty with crispy, thick-cut bacon and a very generous portion of tasty pulled pork, cheese, tomato, onion and was served on a properly toasted ciabatta bun. The beef flavor of the burger patty was lost in a sea of the other stronger flavors. Towards the end, it became a bit of a sloppy mess that I finished with a knife and fork. The serving of crispy homemade chips initially seemed small, but was actually sufficient. Thankfully, they were very lightly salted. Not a salt fiend ... Service was both prompt and attentive ... my water glass was never empty and I never wanted/waited for anything. Glad that I visited, but I am not a local and my opportunity to return is small.

While the entrance was unimposing the diner inside was inviting and had lots of seating. Our waitstaff and the other staff we interacted with were so nice! The portions were really generous! We opted for breakfast. Hubby had the #3 and instead of hash browns got a yummy bowl of peach slices. I had a veggie and cheese omlette that was full of flavor - the veggies inside were all nicely sautéed. We both chose the raisin toast at a slight uncharge and boy it was worth it. We're already planning our next visit (and we live an hour away!) The value of what we got for the price was very good.

Choosing Prosecco instead of champagne doubled the price, which seemed excessive, especially since Prosecco is often a less expensive sparkling wine. On top of that, there was an additional charge for the juice. I believe a mimosa by definition is champagne or sparkling wine AND juice. By charging separately it made what should have been a simple brunch cocktail surprisingly expensive.

I can't say enough good things about the Forge.
