We got the carne asada burrito and strawberry dream French toast. 10/10 ... the food was so delicious. The ingredients were FRESH and the food was served HOT which I appreciate. One of the staff members also came out with some natural strawberry compote with no sugar added which was amazing and I really appreciated that. We also got the freshly squeezed OJ which hit the spot. The prices are also super fair and their menu is top-tier. They have so many options but not too many where you're overwhelmed. If you know what I mean. They also had two specials one was a surf and turf quesadilla and the other one was a tiramisu French toast. YUM! I will definitely be back!

The patio seating is best for groups of 4. More seating inside. Our server was friendly and helpful. We ordered coffee which arrived piping hot and delicious! Two of us ordered BLT sandwiches with avocado and side salad with balsamic vinaigrette, and my husband ordered the Mexicali egg scramble with a side of beans, my father-in-law ordered a potato scramble substituting grits for the potatos. The food was ready in 15 minutes. The BLTs were scrumptious , bacon super crispy. The grits* scramble was also delicious. My husband was disappointed with the Mexicali, particularly that it was already lukewarm when it arrived. He wished he'd gotten the scramble which apparently was still hot upon arrival.

Attention Paymard family. Please read my review of my family's experience today…read more My kids wanted to treat me to Father's Day breakfast before heading to the fair. My daughter was the one who chose T's Cafe for our celebration, excited to share a place she loved with the family. Unfortunately, what should have been a special family meal turned into one of the worst restaurant experiences I have had in years. We arrived at 11:37 AM and were quoted a 20 to 30 minute wait. We were not seated until 12:29 PM, nearly an hour later. I understand holidays are busy, but quoting a wait time that is off by almost double sets the tone for a disappointing experience. Unfortunately, the service only deteriorated from there. After being seated, it took 10 minutes to receive water, 20 minutes before our server Leslie took our drink order, approximately 30 minutes before our food order was taken, and 45 minutes after being seated before drinks arrived. Even then, the drinks were delivered separately, about five minutes apart. Our meals arrived roughly an hour after being seated, and once again, the three dishes were delivered separately several minutes apart. Long waits on Father's Day are frustrating, but understandable. What was not understandable was the complete lack of accountability when our order was delivered incorrectly. My daughter specifically requested wheat bread on her sandwich for health reasons and was served sourdough. My son ordered a fried chicken sandwich and instead received a chicken fried steak. When Leslie finally returned, approximately 15 minutes after our meals had been delivered, I politely pointed out the mistakes. Her response was shocking. She dramatically flipped through her handwritten notes and insisted that my daughter had ordered sourdough and that we were mistaken. She acknowledged that my son's order was incorrect but made no effort whatsoever to correct it. Instead, while I was in the middle of asking a question, she simply turned around and walked away. At this point, we had already requested water from two other employees because Leslie had disappeared for extended periods. Throughout most of the meal, our water glasses remained empty. No refills were offered, and no additional beverage service was provided. When we finished eating, Leslie still had not returned. We ultimately had to ask a busser for our check. When she finally brought it, I asked for her name. She ignored me and walked away. I asked again. No response. I asked a third time, louder because it was clear I was being ignored. After paying, I asked two employees if a manager was available. They informed me that Pam had apparently left about 20 minutes earlier without informing anyone and was nowhere to be found. I then asked those employees for the server's name and was told it was Leslie. At that moment, Leslie emerged from the bar area and began raising her voice at me, repeatedly calling me "cruel." Every attempt I made to speak was interrupted by her continuing to raise her voice and repeat the accusation. This occurred in front of other guests at approximately 2:05 PM. Owners, specifically the Paymard family, I strongly encourage you to review your security footage from approximately 2:05 PM on Father's Day. This interaction should be used as a training opportunity because no guest should ever be treated this way. What makes this especially disappointing is that we have dined here at least a dozen times over the years. We intentionally support T's Cafe because it is a family-owned, women-owned business, and we have always appreciated supporting a local establishment with those values. In fact, I still think the biscuits and gravy are excellent, and I enjoyed my patty melt. However, one employee completely ruined what should have been a special Father's Day meal with my kids. My daughter, who had proudly chosen this restaurant to make the day special, left feeling embarrassed and responsible for how the morning had unfolded. That is not a feeling any child should carry home on a holiday. Poor service can be forgiven. Long waits on a holiday can be forgiven. Mistakes happen. Being blamed for the restaurant's mistakes, ignored repeatedly, denied basic service, and then publicly berated by a server is unacceptable. After years of being customers, we will not be returning. I will also be sharing this experience with others because no guest should be treated with this level of disrespect. A restaurant's food may bring people in, but customer service determines whether they come back, and in this case, it guaranteed that we won't.

Recently me and a friend dined at Claire's on Cedros while I was visiting from Florida (She lives…read morein San Diego.) I went last time I was here a year ago, and remembered how much I loved everything about it. (Food, drink, staff, and ambiance.) We went on a Wednesday and had an amazing breakfast. I had the Tuscan Benedict and my friend had the California omelet- both were outstanding and cooked perfectly. We each had a latte, and both were made with Barista perfection! My friend had a hot latte and had beautiful latte art- it was really delicious. We also shared the peach coffee cake, which was the best I have ever had- I would buy it again and again if I lived here. Our waitress was also lovely and provided wonderful breakfast service. The following Monday (so less than a week later) we returned as 2 friends had joined us, and we loved it so much- seemed like a perfect idea to return. It started off on an odd foot- our waiter was cold and aloof, which was odd based on prior experiences. The first thing that threw us was my friend ordered a coconut latte (Espresso, whole milk, coconut syrup.) It came out looking suspect, as it had none of the attention to detail we had seen the prior week. It was also bad- not creamy, not coconut. It was not drinkable. We realized when we saw the bill- it was entered as a plain coconut milk latte. (Def not what was ordered.) Although 3 of our entrees were cooked perfectly - my friends eggs benedict arrived raw (it was a scary.) When the waiter finally made his way to us we showed him, he shrugged and asked if they should re make it - we said yes, this is dangerous. It took a VERY long time for my friends entree to be re made (so long that I said I fear they are going to error the other way.) Sadly, I was correct. Essentially it came out as a hard boiled egg in poached egg form. I was really frustrated for her, and I went to speak to someone at the front of house. They were wonderful and made it right and re made her breakfast correctly, but of course now the entire table was done eating. As we walked back to our table she told me that 3 benedict had been returned to the kitchen that am, so something was going on with the chef. They comped my friends meal for transparency. My concern is this place is lovely with wonderful staff and food. What was going on this day? I hope the owners address it because with our first experience we would return again and again, but with the latter experience we would hesitate to return. The restaurant made good on the situation, but we would rather pay for delicious food and wonderful service, as I am sure everyone would. Our first visit would be 5 stars, and the second 3- hence the 4 stars.

I sat there patiently, and the female employee came to the register to take my order after a while. I ordered my burrito... we had a choice of bacon or chorizo at the included price. Carne assda was three dollars extra or if I wanted all three meats it was five dollars extra. I probably should've not done this, but I paid for all three. I walked around while I waited. After seeing everything in the entire place, I took a seat near the Pick-up counter. While I was waiting there, the guy who was cooking was complaining about so many things. The one thing that really was upsetting is he said something along the lines of "people have to wait for their food anyways." this guy is angry and bitter, and does not like his job. The wait was oddly long I was tempted to ask them to cancel my order but I waited. The Third employee handing me my food with a smile in a box no bag no napkins no nothing. I guess those were self served, but would've been nice if he had said something because I got home and didn't have napkins or anything. The icing on the cake is paid for three meat definitely there's no bacon in here and I think I found one piece of Carne Asada so I paid five dollars extra basically for a chorizo burrito . There's hardly anything inside of it. I taste more tortilla than the inside. This was the most disappointing burrito. I think I've ever had in my life. I should've gone to the taco shop and gotten a much better burrito. Shame on you, Ranch 45. I don't have the energy to call you or go back and why waste my time and money coming back to complain. Our last visit also took a ridiculous amount of time for one pastrami sandwich. I was waiting in the car while my husband went in. Sad to say I doubt I'll be back here ever again. Step up your Customer Service step up the execution of your beef. Stellar quality meat is not enough. You need to execute and have staff that isn't complaining with an earshot of the customers.

Order: * cappuccino - this took awhile to come out but it was velvety perfection. * country fried steak - good and filling * blueberry oatmeal pancakes with side of turkey sausage - good, especially for a healthier version of pancakes (I'd assume it's healthier but I bet their regular pancakes are delicious in comparison) Would definitely recommend, especially to friends who are visiting and want a slice of Southern CA.
