Had Early Bird for breakfast and it's a super cute spot with a bright, chill vibe. Ordered the traditional eggs Benedict, black coffee, and a side of waffle churros. Benedict was solid . eggs perfectly runny, good flavor definitely satisfying. Coffee did the job (no complaints), and the waffle churros were the fun surprise crispy, sweet, and easy to demolish. Service was friendly and the place feels clean and welcoming. Nice little breakfast stop if you're around Brea. We always come back! read more

I have noticed the line outside of this place when going to the grocery store and I have been curious of trying it. We are not morning people so we don't eat breakfast often but happened to be up early and decided to give it a try on a week day. There is limited parking right in front, but there is enough parking with a little more of a walk. This location is very popular and family friendly. It is a casual ambiance and it feels welcoming. The staff was friendly when we walked in. Thankfully there was no wait and got seated right away towards the back close to the restrooms. We took a bit of time deciding what to get since everything looked good. I ended up opting for the chilaquiles and my bf for the Benedict sampler. My chilaquiles were good, one of my poached eggs was perfect and the other just a little overdone but not a big deal. O don't think the chips are made at the restaurant, they gave me the impression of being store bought which is fine. I would've liked to have been asked the temperature for the steak as I like it medium rare vs medium well. The presentation for the Benny sampler was on point. The pork belly Benedict looked the best so my bf saved it for last. Sadly it was not as good as it looked. The pork was on the tougher side. The traditional Benedict was ok, the ham was also tough as if it was cooked before and cooked again for serving. The best one was the ranch Benedict. If we were to redo the order, that would be the one! The pulled pork had good flavour and everything just went well together. Although they were extremely busy, it did take a while for the check. The waitress brought the POS that only showed the total, tax and tip %. It felt weird to me to pay with without visibility to the breakdown but felt pressured to just complete the transaction. I opted for the text receipt as I wanted to check the breakdown since it wasn't given upfront. When I did that, I noticed the egg surcharge on there that I did not see anywhere in the menu. On our small table, the sign with the surcharge was against the wall and not visible. Although they had it on the sign, it is required in California to be stated on the menus. We talked to the hostess and she dismissed it as "oh I don't know, that's just how it is". My bf was a bit upset because of the sketchiness of the whole paying experience and hidden fee not shown on the menu. The manager came over and he was more understanding. It is baffling that they were not aware of this change that had been in effect for about 2-3 weeks at that point. I would think that being in the restaurant business you would be on top of regulations that impact you. They did end up refunding the fee. Overall we felt like it was a bit overpriced for the whole experience and food quality. Within that price range there are other places that we feel that have better food. It is not bad, just not great for the price point. read more

Great place :great service :convenient parking in the same parking lot as Stater Brothers -went for breakfast. Got the eggs, sausage Love the homemade sausage and the service will be back.! read more

LOVED the chilaquiles! I got the original with the carnitas and my husband got the one ribeye and two different sauces and both plates came out so good! We both agreed that this was one of our favorite versions of chilaquiles because the plate wasn't filled with sauce, yet the chips were covered and filled with so much flavor. We had wonderful service and will be going back to try other delicious sounded plates! read more

This place is amazing! The food is delicious, the service is wonderful, they offered my baby a high chair as soon as we were seated as well as a kids menu to color with. They even have books for kids to read there! The place is clean and looks so trendy, and bathrooms are very clean and parent friendly. Would definitely recommend. read more

This place has been one of my top favorite brunch spots to come to. I've been coming here for a good 8 years now, I just now noticed I never put a review for it! Crazy that I haven't post before. I want to start off by saying the food always has good flavor. The carnitas chilaquiles are my favorite, this time I couldn't choose between that one or the chef Vic green chilaquiles so my server asked if I could get half and half and so I did thanks! It was amazing! I told my server we liked the brioche and the churro waffle but were undecided on which to get, she informed me they were able to do the brioche French toast churro style and omg! It did not disappoint! The fluffyness of the bread and the sweet churro sauce made the perfect combo. ( we ended up getting two!) As for the ambiance, the place is bright has background music that can be pretty enjoyable not too loud, just enough to hear but you're able to hear everyone else as well. The place keeps pretty clean and the art on the walls is nice. This place will keep being on my books, and definitely returning once again read more

Came here on a Sunday morning around 11am and it was packed. My group of two was 11 in the waitlist and we had to wait almost an hour outside. The waitlist can be joined on Yelp so I suggest joining before even parking at the restaurant. We were sat in the very back right next to the bathrooms which was very unfortunate. It took a while to take our orders and give us food. The food was really good, the churro waffle was delicious and the chilaquiles were very filling. Our server didn't come around much and we had to wait a long time to flag the server for our bill which we had to pay at the host stand. I don't think the hour wait was worth sitting in a hard chair next to the bathrooms with poor service even though the food was good. read more

Food was great. Service was lacking at best. Also who puts a baby in a highchair right next to where you drop off the hot coffee pots.

I was impressed by the food. It was delicious. The servers were delightful and attentive. I didn't feel rushed or anything. We were allowed to sit and chat. I went with a few of my girlfriends and normally when we go to places they rush us out. Because there is a time limit. But they served us took good care of us and didn't push us out. The place looked clean, didn't really look around much, but All in all it's a must try. read more

Surprise $2.00 egg charge not shown on the menu or at our table. Owner knows it's sneaky. Kitchen is good. Tasty hash browns/potatoes. Value is questionable, prices are at LA levels without similar experience/ambiance. Service was weird. Host dude at the front waved us to the back and told us to seat ourselves. Our first server came to give us water and just didn't come back, while serving other tables the whole time. Had to wave down another server (runner?) to take our order. A third server helped us out with the check despite being busy with her own tables, she seemed more organized read more

Great food, everything is delicious and somehow refreshing. I love to go here with friends. I guess the only thing I could complain about would be the time it takes to get our food, but its pretty negligible. Great place read more

Biscuits & gravy are a huge disappointment. Biscuits seemed liked out of a can, gravy was watery but worst was the sausage; hard square pieces without sausage flavor nor the typical crumbly sausage texture. Service was nonexistent. I finally had to get up and go to entrance to ask for my check. She continued to seat a few other patrons before ev n acknowledging me. Don't waste your time or money for the mediocre food they serve. read more

This place was great. They have a lot of classic breakfast foods and some unique entrees. I got the duck confit. It was pretty good with the raisins balancing out the bitterness of the arugula. The croutons were a bit too oily though since they had soaked up all the fat from the duck. Their kids menu is great as well since they let the kids put together a plate of their choice. Our waitress Cassidy was excellent. Super attentive and made sure our coffees were always filled and we had everything we needed. The inside was a bit cold and pretty loud. You had to speak louder to hear each other over the music but it wasn't super inconvenient. read more

Bad customer service over the phone! Julissa Casillas has no manners and lack of respect to the client. After placing my order, she asked me for a name, of course I gave her my name. I have no problem with that. Then I ask her for her name just for reference on my end and she didn't wanna give her name. After asking her twice and telling her why I wanted a name or order number, she mentioned "I have to go we don't do that here" Normally when you place an order over the phone, you get a reference number or a name so there's a reference and order goes to the right person. When I'd picked up my order I'd tried to explain her why I needed a name or reference number and she seemed careless about my opinion and she kept ignoring me. It's sad that nowadays there's a huge lack of customer service and attention to the client. She definitely needs to find another job that better suits her.

Not our first time but the food is always delicious. Love the "Mexican coffee" (cafe de olla), love how they give it to you with a stick of cinnamon. Chilaquiles verdes are so delicious. The sauce is has a great flavor/taste. Everything was delicious. The service was great, fast and efficient. We came after 12 pm it was less busy than coming in the morning. Not crowded at that time. read more

Random stop. The morning is almost over and wanted to eat light. With my son, and he found the Early Bird. We split the Grand Moff Tarkin Breakfast sandwich. I ordered an extra over easy egg and fruit to go with my split. The food was delivered pretty quickly. I ordered Apple juice with a side of side so I can enjoy the drink more and have true juice for later. That is all I have as I did not take any photos. You will have to trust in my words. Service was good and the music was easy to the ears. Side note, it's Friday and this is before lunch time so this place was not busy. The location is solid. You can't miss the big sign. read more

Coworker recommended this place to me. He told me it was some of the best eggs Benedict he's had. Checked this place out on fourth of July and was surprised that the wait wasn't bad. All of the tables were occupied and they found us a table towards the back. I ordered the Benny Sampler. My favorite was rancho benedict, followed by the pork belly benedict. The traditional eggs benedict fell short in comparison to the others. Definitely would go again. read more

Came here for a girls day brunch. Saw on Yelp that they offer Yelp waitlist so I hopped on as soon as I got in the car in the drive over! Kind of got there a few minutes after my table was ready but the turnover was pretty quick so we didn't have to wait too long for a table. Honestly not a big selection of coffee to choose from. It's regular coffee, Mexican coffee (kind of like cafe de olla with a cinnamon stick but no sugar), and iced coffee. We got the brioche French toast and the Eastwood omelette. Both were good, but my friend thought the French toast was too hard at the edges. They put peanuts on top of the French toast - fyi for those allergic to peanuts. I like that they offer Infiniti hot sauce on the table along with Tabasco. Service was friendly and attentive. They are very dog friendly, I saw the hostess bring out a take out container and fill it with water for one of the dogs outside. So kind! read more

Love the food, love the service. EB has become our favorite breakfast spot, especially when we are bringing friends/ visitors! The wait can be hit or miss on the weekend so be sure to check out the "waitlist" on yelp when you're about to head over. It's helped us when we had larger groups!! I always start off with their Mexican coffee (I had never tried it till here and for anyone who doesn't know it's a sweeter coffee with a cinnamon stick in it.

I continue to love this restaurant. Today I had the biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs--delicious. The biscuits were tender, and the gravy was flavorful. I got them with the hash browns, and I think this is my favorite place for hash browns, btw. Nice and crispy, and they put some kinds of herbs, onion, and a little cheese in them. Love, love, love them--I get them any time I get a side here. The Mexican coffee is also delicious--give it a try! Much better with its free refills than the Starbucks next door! Enjoy! read more

We came to this restaurant for brunch. We got the Benny Sampler and the Eastwood omelet. Both items were just ok, but the bigger issue with this restaurant is the service. It was hard to get a server to come by to refill our drinks and even bring us the check. It was busy so maybe they were short-staffed. That said, I wasn't impressed with the meal enough to return to dine at this restaurant. The egg white omelet was fluffy, but the side of potatoes were not crispy and mushy. The bacon on the eggs benedict was too chewy and thick. Even though they claim their house coffee is great, it was just ok. Not dark and rich, but more of a lighter watery taste. Overall, not impressed with the food and definitely not satisfied with the service. read more

Good food. The Benedicta were good. Crispy bacon. Strong coffee. Kind of loud and the service was so-so.

Been coming here for years now, but seems like the weekend crowd died down lately? Better for us, though! They also have Yelp Waitlist, which is a PLUS if you have kiddos. My go-to - Grand Moff Tarkin's Breakfast Sandwich. Flavorful and delicious. Got scrambled eggs instead of the over easy and was nice and fluffy! Eastwood Omelet - Great. Kids meal - Pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs. He loved the pancakes! We'll be back! read more

DO NOT DINE AT THIS PLACE!!!! HIGHWAY ROBBERY They deserve a ZERO star. This place is HORRIBLE in everything. Customer service sucks! Food is crazy expensive. My husband I came back for the second time just to give them a fair review. First time was bad and second time was worse. We ordered ONE plate of biroche French toast, 2 eggs, 2 pieces of bacon, 1 orange juice and one coffee. Bill came out $52. RIDICULOUS!! I gave $2 tip and that's being very generous. I didn't want to tip them at all. Owner should fire their servers. Or he'll lose his business in a long run. We'll NEVER coming back to Early Cafe. read more

Mrs. and I had breakfast at this restaurant a while ago. Decent seating, abundant parking, adequately staffed for a weekday, variety of menu, etc. are few of the selling points for this popular restaurant. I had Chilaquiles for the first time. I loved the hot flavors they offered. Ribeye with the dish was A-OK. Mrs.'s omelette was OK as well. Nothing to brag about. Mrs. opined that the price point was a tad bit high for the portion offered. So, we might not return. read more

Fantastic breakfast restaurant! I've come here several times with family and it's always been a success. The customer service is great. You're always greeted with a smile. Servers are quick and very attentive to their tables. Cooks do a phenomenal job. They have seasonal mimosa flights that are great for sharing. Their coffee is delicious. I've tried several things on the menu but my favorite was the lomo saltado. It's a great place for a date, friends or family. Place does get packed so be aware of busy times. It's definitely worth the wait, however. I've brought so many people here and they all loved it. Highly recommend. read more

First off, this little breakfast place in an outdoor shopping center was so surprising! Not a ton of room inside, so I can imagine on busy days you'll be waiting for a table but it's well worth the wait. I am an Eggs Benedict lover and immediately went for the Benny Sampler. You get THREE of the best bennys - a traditional (can't go wrong) a pork belly Benedict (CRISPY pork belly with pickles and a special hollandaise sauce) and a Rancho Benedict (by far the BEST Benedict I've ever had). If I return, (I live in NorCal so SoCal visits are always trying to squeeze in the best food) I am absolutely getting the Rancho Benedicts. Tender and succulent shredded pork, Avocado Emulsion Pico de Gallo, and a tomatillo hollandaise sauce! I paired my plate with a mug of their Mexican Coffee- hands down some of the best coffee I've ever had and I know my coffee. Served with massive cinnamon stick, this coffee can be had black. Subtly sweet with the cinnamon and truly warms the soul. The only thing I personally wasn't fond of, were the hash browns. They were slightly sweet? And I'm not sure if maybe this was a one off, or perhaps something to do with the type of potatoes that were used. Not my fav, but hey, could be someone else's. My fiancé got a breakfast sandwich with an over easy egg and devoured it so I assume it was just as tasty! read more
