Pastries
Abel A.

Great spot located in a business complex. They move really fast and quality of food is impressive for the price. In this area a "quick bite" is fairly pricy due to the environment and location. So far I've had the burrito and palm sandwich, and both are very tasty! Pastries are also great! The staff are also very quick and friendly. Will definitely be coming back.

Leno. Poppyseed cake
Calli Y.

Cute location in the middle of some office buildings so you would never know it's here unless you looked it up. I like their location down in SJC which is kinda far so it's nice to have a closer location. Sandwiches, salads, desserts, a little bit of everything. They also validate parking which is good. I've really like their corn elote and this time I wanted to try their new lemon poppyseed cake. It was very light and refreshing. I almost wish there was more lemon curd. SYOY!

Focaccia
Yurie H.

Have come here a couple of times but the food is solid and not horribly expensive. Ellie table is located in a business structure, parking is validated with purchase of food. Today I got the focaccia turkey sandwich and my husband got the salad. Focaccia was toasted and warm, like how they stuffed it with plenty of turkey, salad was fresh and light. I've gotten the burrito and omelette here before and both are delicious. Would love to try coming here for lunch next time!

Churro latte  Chocolate chip cookie
Vanessa T.

The coffee was super good and the cookie was to die for. The interior was very clean and it looked like a nice place to do work or study! The outside was very nice as well outside and indoor seating. The service was good and fast. The only thing that was kind of a hassle was the fact that you have to get a ticket to validate after but other than that was super good!

Breakfast burrito heaven!
Michael S.

It's located in a trendy I was blown away by my breakfast burrito!!! The tortilla was grilled/pressed which was a great surprise. The little sausage cubes were spicy and the creamy sauce inside was great. The photos don't do it justice-- this thing is hefty! I'm a very big eater and I was stuffed afterwards. The only downside was my coffee. I ordered nitro but was served a cold brew. Regardless, the coffee was mediocre -- too watered down and flavorless. My wife's latte was really good, if that's your vibe. I'm hoping for a better caffeine fix on my next visit. The location is random and inaccessible, unless you live in the immediate area. We parked in the "20 minute parking" spots but I'm not sure what it would have cost to park in the proper lot. There is plenty of outdoor seating scattered on the campus with nice landscaping and unique architecture. People watching was really fun, with young business types in snazzy clothes pacing around making work calls. Otherwise, you can eat inside of Ellie's. If you want to have a leisurely breakfast in a pretty setting, I highly recommend it! If you're looking for an ultra quick something on the way to work, I'd pass on it.

Chimichurri Tri Tip Sandwich
Denise V.

Stopped by Ellie's Table because we wanted food after picking up coffee nearby. I feel like there's been an uptick in to-go breakfast/lunch spots in Irvine that close at 3 PM and are open for limited days. Ellie's Table is located to the left when you exit the parking structure, tucked into an apartment complex lobby, with validated parking available. The menu is huge, offering a mix of made-to-order breakfast and lunch items like burgers and burritos, as well as a selection of premade sandwiches, wraps, quiches, and pastries. There are also plenty of vegetarian options. The pastry case had unique items like honey whiskey pecan sticky buns, fruit danishes, berry crostatas, thick lemon poppyseed and carrot cake slices for only $5 (a crazy steal!!), and a variety of quiches, wraps, and salads. Prices across the board were surprisingly reasonable, especially considering today's economy. Almost all made-to-order dishes were under $16, which is a rare and welcome find. We ended up ordering and trying the following: *Elote Wrap: Refreshing and flavorful, with sweet corn, avocado, and pico. Not dry at all. *Bacon, Egg, Scallion & Pepper Jack Cheese Burrito ($8.50): great deal and came with tasty salsa verde! *Chimichurri Tri-Tip Sandwich ($15.50): had 4 thick slices of perfectly cooked tri-tip. Flavorful, juicy, and generous. *Ham and Swiss Cheese Croissant ($8) - Flaky, huge (hence the pricetag), and satisfying. *Kouign Amann ($5.50): Easily the best purchase. An absolute standout. Freshly torched sugar on top made it feel like a crème brûlée hybrid. Loaded with custard, silky, and not overly sweet. Would come back again just for this. The outdoor seating area is beautiful and serene, with the low-hanging olive trees and boardwalk with plenty of tables. Service was friendly and helpful, with staff giving us time to explore the menu and offering great recommendations. Everything was great and there are so many more things I want to try here. I'll definitely be back!!

Came here in the afternoon to grab items off their holiday menu. They have a parking structure and they validate for 2 hours, so parking was not an issue. They also have a few tables here as well for seating; there were plenty of tables when I visited (and even more seating outside!) I ordered a peppermint mocha that was on their seasonal menu which was made in a timely manner. It wasn't on the sweet side which was perfect but I really enjoyed the bits of candy cane they threw on there. I also got their peppermint macaron that had even bigger chunks in less square area - I actually loved the minty flavor of this the most. It's a nice laid back area here - I kinda like the plaza that Ellie's Table is at!

Tarragon Palm Sandwich x 2
RACHEL G.

The Tarragon Palm Sandwich is SO good ! The cheese roll is SO fresh & soft, and impaired with a nice hearty portion of the chicken salad makes for a great little snack or you can get two of them to make a nice little lunch ! I also ordered the pasta salad which has a bit of sweetness. Pricing was very reasonable for the quality/taste !

Nitro cold brew with sugar-free vanilla syrup
Ashley R.

I got a nitro cold brew with sugar-free vanilla syrup. I'm glad that they offer sugar-free syrup. I thought that it had a pleasant flavor, although it was not super stand out. because it was a nitro cold brew it was pretty smooth and not as deep in coffee flavor as some other cold brews. I thought it was interesting that they roast Wilson beans for their cold brew. I've been to Wilson's coffee shop and I'm not super fond of it. I was surprised i enjoyed this coffee as much as i did considering it was wilson's beans. My grandparents both got decaf Americano. my grandmother added Stevia to hers and my grandfather drank it black. They both liked them. I really liked all of the decorations on the wall. It felt upscale yet rustic at the same time. it's located in an upscale business plaza. It feels very corporate, but the establishment itself felt homie. it was on the pricey side. They accepted contactless payment. The staff were all very helpful . they answered my questions and we're friendly and smiley . There's not a restroom in the establishment, but there is one around the corner in the office. It was easy to find parking. Overall, I had a good experience and would love to return it and try more menu items if they invite me back.

Sundried Tomato Blt
Aubree K.

I visited Ellie's table today and enjoyed my experience. However, I will mention that parking and finding the restaurant is not easy. You will need to park in the parking structure and the restaurant is attached to an office building. The food, on the other hand was delicious. I ordered the sundered tomato BLT and enjoyed it. The bread was toasted perfectly in addition to thick slices of bacon. I also ordered a latte (not pictured), the latte was okay, not anything that stood out to me, but an average latte. The service was quick and the overall atmosphere was pleasant.

Peter T.

Love both their butter and chocolate croissants here, it's fresh and always served hot.

Breakfast burrito
Mo L.

Staff is super nice in the little cafe with cool outside areas to lounge and eat. Food is not exceptional but quick and filling. Mostly grab and go as it is a corporate setting I had a burrito that had a big amount of egg with umderwelming amount of bacon and cheese. Drip coffee fresh but not strong, very mild roast I would recommend just dropping a n getting a drink and on a hot sunny day enjoying the courtyard amount the tall corporate buildings

The service here is so kind and the staff helped us recommend drinks for our first time there. The cafe itself is small but there is a lot of seating options both inside and outside of it. I ordered the Blueberry Pie Matcha, which seemed to be a seasonal item and it genuinely tasted like a blueberry pie (would recommend for anyone who like really sweet lattes or a "sweet treat" type of drink). My friend ordered their famous "Thank You Berry Matcha" and I got to try it. It was super yummy, sweet but not too sweet and the strawberry matcha flavor was pleasant. The breakfast burrito was also good! I really liked the hot sauce it came with and it was a nice savory bite to pair with our drinks. My only complaint was that the Wi-Fi here wasn't seem to be connecting to any of my devices or my friend's (maybe this was user error on my behalf) but I would advise maybe staying inside the cafe if you want to get working Wi-Fi. Parking is also validated if you park at the parking garage behind Kit for 90 minutes! Overall, I'll definitely be back to try more of their drinks!

Mari rang me up and helped me pick out my drink order! Both were warm and patient. Went in on a Thursday morning and there was no wait. Bag of cakes is located on the Albertsons side of the plaza. I didn't have any issues with parking at this time of day. We ordered the: - pumpkin pie latte w the cream top - strawberry matcha latte - earl grey croffin - raspberry croffin - green onion bread - pepperoni pizza bread - ham and cheese croissant We enjoyed everything! Loved the pumpkin pie latte, super sweet and cozy like I wanted. The green onion bread was our favorite pastry! Really unique and tasty but be warned that the onion is stronggggg. The store has some tables and an island in the middle. Enough space for you to enjoy your pastries and drink but may be a little cramped if you're trying to stay for a while. If you're looking to try multiple pastries, it definitely adds up, but so worth it!
