    Banana bread latte, sourdough croissant, and soup
    Katie T.

    There are alot of mixed reviews about this place... you either hate it or love it. First off the inside and outdoor patio is gorgeous. So open yet still warm and welcoming. It's a very aesthetic place to have breakfast/brunch. You order first at the counter and then find your own seat. They have an extensive menu that ranges from coffee and teas to pastries and brunch items. Everything looks very appealing and picturesque and I hoped the food was as tasty as they looked. Especially considering how steep the prices are... The banana bread latte was tasty but with a subtle banana flavor and strong notes of cinnamon more than anything. I also did get this less sweet so that could have affected the strength of the flavor. The sourdough croissant had that signature tangy flavor but be warned the texture is not like a traditional croissant at all. It is dense and bread-like rather than flakey. I found it interesting to say the least. Also do note that they refuse to heat up pastries here. I understand charging a premium when there are these beneficial claims (seed oil free, refined sugar free, in house milled flour, etc) attached to it but I personally don't think the prices justify the claims nor taste. I also heard rumors that they recently changed ownership so the claims and quality of everything might change for the worse which is a shame.

    I've been seeing this place all over social media and finally got to try. Such a cute bakery with a cozy indoor vibe and aesthetic outdoor garden area. Makes the perfect spot for photos but other than the ambiance, the food and drinks were just ok. It felt like something we could make at home and my friend's omelet ran a little runny/undercooked. Unfortunately, we had dog poop left underneath our table against the wall and we didn't notice until after we were cleaning up. I understand it's a pet-friendly cafe but that was a bit of turn-off...There's also some flies or bugs flying around if you sit outside given the nature. Overall, friendly service, abundant seating, limited parking, and ok food at ok prices.

    Truly don't understand the hype this place gets. I came here after hearing many great things about their pastries, especially their cinnamon rolls, so I figured I'd give them a try. Could not be more disappointed. -Cinnamon Roll: Man oh man was this dry. Probably one of the worst cinnamon rolls I've ever had. I came in a little bit before noon on a Friday and they only had a handful of them left on display. Went straight home to warm it up and it was as if these had been left out on the counter for 3 days. The dough was not chewy or plush like you'd expect. The frosting stayed pretty stiff compared to classic cinnamon rolls. The flavor profile was OVERWHELMINGLY sour. Like I get having cream cheese frosting which typically adds some tang to any cinnamon roll but both the dough and the icing were far tooooo tart. Maybe I'm just not the target audience for this type of cinnamon roll but this was an immediate no for me. Tried to pass it off to my family and everyone said no thanks after trying one bite. Don't get this unless you like sour and dry cinnamon rolls. -Chocolate Croissant: I think croissants are an excellent way to judge the skill of a pastry shop. Unfortunately, this one was also very telling. I don't see this often when it comes to bakeries that are suppose to specialize in making bread and pastries, but man the croissant was flat and hollow?! After my disappointing cinnamon roll, I only wanted to try half of the croissant in case it was also not good so I cut it in half and warmed it up. You would have thought I bought a hot pocket lol. This croissant had large gaping holes and extremely poor lamination. No discernable flakey layers which is exactly what you want from a croissant. Since they also use the sourdough base for this pastry, it also lends a very pronounced sour taste to the croissant, but that's hardly an issue, all things considered. The shop and parking: The saving graces for this bakery is the interior and patio areas were cute. Staff were also nice. Parking is not good. There are about 8 spots out front, 4 on the left and 4 on the right. They don't connect to each other because the sidewalk starts immediately in front so if you see a spot open on the other side, you have to exit the lot and re-enter because there's no thru road. The back side has some additional parking but many of the spots are reserved for the other businesses and all of them were taken as well. Overall: I spent $17 for 2 poorly made pastries. I will not be coming back.

    Roasted Chicken Pesto ($24). 3/14/2026

    As others have mentioned, the prices here are high. I am skeptical of places like this where the prices are high and not worth it. While I don't think that their food and drinks fully justify the high cost, it was pretty good overall. I love the ambiance and decor of this place. It's a neutral, modern design that I absolutely love. I enjoyed just sitting and spending time slowly eating my food and drinking my latte while taking in how nice this place looked! The Roasted Chicken Pesto ($24), while pricey, was a decently sized sandwich that filled my hubby and me up. The Bread Basket ($5) was much more affordable considering how pricey everything else was. I'm a huge fan of sourdough, so I had to try the bread basket that offered me a taste of their sourdough and baguette. They definitely have a tang to their sourdough, but not as tangy as I had hoped (I like them real sour). Service was great from all the staff members - friendly! Overall, I wouldn't frequent this place often because of the prices, but I would definitely come back again!

    I've had Eller saved for months now and finally was in the area to try it! Interior is super bright and open. Parking lot is a tad small, but seemed to be enough. There was ample seating inside and outside. Staff was very nice at helping us choose our food. We ended up ordering a wide variety of things. My personal favorite was the tomato and basil pizza and the carrot cake.

    Eller has been on my bookmarks forever! Finally stopped by & it definitely didn't disappoint. I only ordered the cinnamon roll and it was delicious. Next time I will have to sit down for lunch or coffee. There are so many different options on the menu. Parking can be tricky due to having a small parking lot. So I would recommend you go early I the day.

    Cinammon roll
    Hannah S.

    Pretty great place, but too expensive and that's why it's not 5 stars. Friendly service, spacious inside and outside, and quality food. They bake with good ingredients and many things are sourdough. The make an excellent coffee, as well as do a great job with the breakfast plates. Excellent omelette, excellent potatoes. No complaints! Only the price... most things were $20. I liked the cinnamon roll, but recommend the sourdough chocolate chip cookie even more!

    Mahsa S.

    This cafe/bakery has such a stunning indoor and outdoor space! If you're dining in, you still order at the counter and they will give you a table number once you order. They have a variety of savory and sweet brunch options and tons of fresh baked goods. Their drinks rotate seasonally with lots of fun coffee flavors. There is a small parking lot both in the front and the back but it can get quite crowded on weekends

    Nikolai T.

    Very cute breakfast spot in Costa Mesa with a nice ambiance inside. Croissants are delicious and are sourdough! The food was good but not going to lie it's a tad bit on the pricier side for what it is but that's anywhere today I suppose. Service was a solid 7.5/10 so not bad. I'm not super crazy about a 5.75$ drip coffee either but at an establishment as such I understand that people need to get paid. Overall very cute small breakfast / pastry / bread joint. I'd recommend to try at least once !

    Avocado toast
    Kerri F.

    First time today for lunch. Talk about a wonderful experience! The building has a very peaceful atmosphere. The menu is full of delightful thoughtful dishes. Avocado toast was amazing and you must have it with a poached egg. Everyone we encountered was above and beyond friendly. I asked if I could buy flour from them. A no go for now but, you never know down the road I hope?? I will be back! Thank you so much for a fabulous lunch!

    I've been a follower on their Instagram, and finally made it! It did not disappoint. The Bread Basket with selections of crusty bread, butter and mango preserve were just perfect for me, completed with fluffy scrambled eggs. Great solo breakfast outside.

    Tried salty horse for the first time and I will be back…read more I got there around 9:30 AM which was perfect because there was no line. I ordered the steak and eggs, berries and cream Matcha, and the cookie dough banana bread. My total was about $45. Steak & eggs: 8/10; these portions were big and perfect. The steak had flavor. Tater tots were crispy. Sourdough bread was soft but crunchy on the outside. Eggs were over easy. Berries & cream matcha: 8.5/10; I actually really enjoyed this Matcha. Not sure why it came in a smaller cup than what my cousin ordered, but maybe because I said light ice? I think that is something that should have been mentioned to me that I would get a smaller cup. Otherwise, I liked this matcha a lot. Cookie dough Banana bread: 9/10; this was so good, so soft, so fresh. The only thing I wish is that I would be able to taste more of the cookie dough. I was a bit confused where the cookie dough was at in this banana bread. There were times where I did taste it, but I wasn't too sure. However, it did have lots of flavor and I would probably get the banana bread alone. Overall, I would return. There was a line formed outside around 10:30 AM, so I definitely recommend getting there early. This was even on a Tuesday morning. So it seems like the line forms no matter the day.

Inside is a café inspired by natural accents with an industrial flair giving a rustic character with modern style. The vibe inside is chill with plenty of seating for groups or singles. They also have an outdoor area with covered seating surrounded by plants. The menu delivers just as much appeal as the setting. They have an expansive list of coffee, tea, and lattes with several modifiers to choose from. To accompany your drink the menu provides options of sandwiches, bagels, and a variety of pastries. I had the smoked salmon bagel, featuring delicate slices of salmon layered over cream cheese spread, topped with capers and fresh chives. This is my go to for coffee houses that offer it. The bagel exceeded my expectations and I believe the chive's subtle flavor complemented the smoked salmon really well. For drinks we tried the chai and hot chocolate. The iced chai latte was smooth and not too sweet with a dusting of cinnamon on top, but I would rate it average in taste. The hot chocolate was deliciously velvety and detailed beautifully. I would rate it a five out of five! The difference at this coffee shop is that you can choose from a range of seating arrangements and have an opportunity to support the business by picking up clothing, a bag of coffee or other merchandise. The con for this coffee shop is that the beverages are somewhat undersized relative to the price point. In addition, the customer service experience fell short. We were greeted upon entering, but it was unclear where customers should retrieve their order or whether orders numbers were called out. With that said, those looking for a quiet morning coffee or a cozy place to catch up with friends, this spot can accommodate.

    When arriving, you'll see plenty of seating and even a few comfy hanging chairs. There are tons of…read moresmiles and friendly hellos. They offer a few seasonal items and a standard menu of lattes, teas, etc. Today I ordered the morning melt and the coconut latte. The coconut latte is delish and tastes like summer. The morning melt is also really good. So many flavors from the egg, turkey, and arugula. Next time I'll opt for the sauce on the side and put a little less so it's not so drippy. Still super tasty! Thanks for providing a relaxing vibe :)

    Checked this spot out since I was staying at the hotel nearby…read more.. What a neat little spot! Can almost call it a hidden gem! Despite being relatively close to two major colleges - OCC and UCI - this place wasn't as crowded as you'd imagine it would be. They serve coffee, matcha, breakfast foods like breakfast burritos, protein bowls, avocado toasts - but I didn't pick anything to eat since I already had lunch. I shared with the barista that it was my first time here, and he asked what type of drink I was looking for. I told him something iced and caffeinated - and he mentioned his favorite was the Honey Cinnamon Latte - which I opted for - iced, with oat milk. Total was $8.50 including tip. My iced Honey Cinnamon Latte was yummy, creamy, and fantastic! With the oat milk substitute, it sorta tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch in liquid coffee form. It wasn't overly sweet, definitely had a nice kick to it - love this recommendation by the barista! I checked out the rest of the space and used their restroom to wash my hands - it's really a neat space here. Lots of seating. Lots of space. There's an adjacent room that's connected to the cafe called "Flow Space" - which is utilized for small popups and arts & crafts. Neat spot for smaller community members to showcase their wares. Some of the other reviews mentioned no a/c - which had me worried considering we were having a bit of a heatwave lately - but to my pleasant surprise, A/C was on and cold! It was a great escape from the heat. Free wifi - fast enough for a zoom call if you need to hop into one - my speedtest reported download speeds of 17.5MB/s Restroom is clean and well maintained. Plenty of parking - of course, I stopped by a little after 2pm, so already avoiding the tail end of the lunch rush. Only downside is they close kinda early - 4pm - but open up at 7am. Great spot! Will probably be my go-to considering there's ample workspace, plenty of parking, less crowded than other coffee spots in the immediate area. I'm curious to try their matcha the next time I'm here, as well as possibly their breakfast burritos, since photos for that looks delicious.

    Quaint and cozy is the word I'd use to describe this shop. It's the perfect place to just sit and…read moreget work done or relax. The drinks were great and I didn't have to wait on them too long. I got a shakerato and a matcha latte and they were both good. You also get a little discount if you're walking, biking, or boarding to the shop and getting something. The only negative I have to say is that I think a cycling club stages from here on the weekend so the parking lot does get busy inside and out. Overall, I'd recommend this place and will return again.

This year specifically, I've noticed a couple of things that have made my experience go severely downhill. I've visited about five times, expecting to grab my favorite toast of theirs that I've had for years (Pan Con Tomate) and they have been out consistently back to back of that item. I've literally tried 3 separate times and been told they simply ran out of tomatoes. If it's that inconsistent, I'd hope they'd take it off their menu and post it as a special. But what bothers me the most is that the service is so nonchalant that it comes off as rude. No greeting, smile, positive energy.. giving off a vibe that they'd rather be anywhere else than behind the coffee bar. Sad to see the experience decline as it's been a favorite of mine and somewhere i always have hyped up to friends. Hopefully things pick up.
