You order your food yourself on an iPad at the register, and then the wait begins. It took about 20 minutes to receive a clam chowder bread bowl, even though the chowder was already prepared and the bread bowl was already made. Essentially, they just needed to put everything in a bag and hand it over. The food is good, but the service is far too slow for what you're getting. Delicious food, but not worth a 20-minute wait for something that should take just a few minutes.

A great place for someone looking for a fresh made sandwich on fantastic bread. Although preferences can differ, I was still that a great sandwich on sourdough bread have a little bit of a crunch to it so I appreciate the sandwiches are warmed up just to the point where the bread gets to the right point that the ingredients inside are still right where they need to be. Very enjoyable meal! Service as great and indoor seating was comfortable.

I visited Le Diplomate Cafe around 12 pm on a weekday and it wasn't too busy. I love sandwiches, so…read morewhen I saw the Chicken Broccoli Mushroom Sandwich on the menu, I knew I had to try it. It was delicious! I especially loved the baguette. It was soft and fluffy and paired really well with the filling. The Chicken Broccoli Mushroom combination is also a little more unique than the typical sandwich flavors you find everywhere, which made it stand out to me. Overall, Le Diplomate Cafe is such a solid spot if you're craving a sandwich and want something a little different. I'd definitely recommend it, and I can already see myself coming back.

I got the Chicken Eggplant sandwich and the portion size is 10/10. More importantly, every single thing in this sandwich was packed with flavor and not dry at all. The sauce was delicious, eggplant was so flavorful, chicken wasn't dry, and it came out piping hot. Definitely recommend eating this with the house hot sauce, it takes the flavors to a whole other level. Also, they have a happy hour deal from 3-6pm cash only and you get a Chicken Garlic Sandwich (best seller), chips, and a drink all for $7.40! I just didn't have cash on me this time, but I'm going to take advantage of this next time I'm in!

A solid breakfast burrito and I see why it makes so many Top OC lists. Without a doubt it is a top tier option. Great tasting. I ordered the bacon and left fully satisfied. I laughed reading the comments about the grease. Inside the tortilla are freshly cooked eggs, cheese, tater tots and a protein option what do you expect? If you want to eat clean stick to Avocado toast and fresh fruit. Parking is inside a large garage. The levers were raised this morning but I believe they validate parking. Service was slow because the cashier was inputting a large ordering and I bet they had several online orders as well (its near a plethora of businesses) I will go back to The Trough UNLESS the Cut starts serving their breakfast burritos all days of the week. If they go that route, I will drive the extra 6 minutes off the 405 and go there instead.

The sandwiches were very fresh and delicious. I had the California delight: turkey, lettuce, alfalfa sprouts and there was a layer of cream cheese on the top with sunflower seeds. Amazing!

There's limited indoor seating, but plenty outdoor. The only issue is that there are a LOT of birds who will steal your food if you're not paying attention. Other than that it's a fun brunch vibe in a bustling area! I got the breakfast quesadilla with carne asada and it was MASSIVE. I literally ate it for 3 meals! I loved how cheesy and stuffed it was, and they were not skimpy at all on the carne asada either! The carne asada was also juicy and tender, which is nice because I feel like some breakfast places have really dry carne asada. The sauces and pico it came with were also good and my favorite was the creamy green one. Potatoes were nice and crispy too. I come back here all the time and it's definitely worth the wait!

But honestly, I didn't know it was 95% outdoor seating. Had I known, I would have not picked this place for brunch. About the food, I read my friend Bonnie's review. And she and I are always spot on as Foodies. Maybe it's not as good as before. I'm really not sure. But I wouldn't go out of my way to return. I absolutely hate aggressive birds flying right above my head chasing food on a platter or leftovers on a table. Unsanitary to say the least. I think the house potatoes are the stars of the show. Everything else was heavy and very greasy. A lot of reviewers noted that the Pastrami Hash was to die for. IMO it needed a crunchy texture to it. Pickles would have been a great add on. My chicken sandwich with mashed potatoes on a biscuit wasn't proportional. Leaving it kind of messy to eat. It was also too heavy. The fries added to the greasy textures. In summary, I would say 2/5 is fair game in a Foodie mind.

I've heard the Peruvian Steak, Prosciutto, and Chicken are good too! My only feedback with the Happy Hippie is that there is slightly too much filling, so it falls when you are eating the sandwich. Each of their sandwiches comes with two halves and is filling and satisfying. They also use fresh, vibrant vegetables, and a store associate told me their bread is baked fresh every day! Service: The service here is half the reason I come! A lovely store associate will guide you when ordering, and they will bring the food right to you! When they bring the food, there are two napkins on the tray. If they see you carrying your tray after you are finished eating, they will also offer to take it for you! Although the sandwich prices are slightly premium, you are paying for their healthy ingredients and exceptional service! Ambiance: This restaurant is spacious with many tables on the inside and outside! Their bathrooms are also really clean and well kept! Please go here for a healthy, non-bloating meal when you're in the area!

8/05/26 5:18 p.m. University Town Center…read more I decided to try the Peruvian Steak today without avocado. I usually order the Not So Fried Chicken, but I wanted to switch things up. I'd rate the Peruvian Steak an 8.5/10. The bread was perfectly toasted, the mustard added just the right amount of kick, and all of the flavors complemented each other well. It would have been a perfect 10/10 if one side of the bottom bun hadn't been completely soggy from the mustard spilling out of the sandwich. I ordered my sandwich to go, so if I had waited until I got home to eat it, I think the entire bottom of the sandwich would have been soggy. That was disappointing. For to-go orders, I think Mendocino Farms should automatically serve the mustard in a separate sauce container to help prevent this issue. My other qualm was with the pickup process. When I received the text that my order was ready, it read: "Your order at Mendocino Farms - 10 - UC Irvine is ready for pickup. Please proceed to the counter." Some restaurants have signs explaining whether customers should grab their to-go orders themselves or wait for a team member to assist them. I waited patiently at the counter for several minutes while a team member saw me standing there but didn't acknowledge me. After about five minutes, I finally asked, "Can I grab my order?" The process felt confusing and could have been communicated more clearly. Overall, I thought the sandwich was delicious and a great portion size. However, I think the to-go process could use some improvement. I ended up eating my sandwich in the restaurant because I could already see the bread becoming soggy when I picked it up, which wasn't part of my original plan.
