    Best sandwich in town

    Service is great the food is so good lunch and breakfast is awesome I highly recommend this restaurant

    Quinoa bowl with two sunny side up eggs
    Heather T.

    Service - A+ (friendly, fast, welcoming, food comes out quickly) Food - we have only come here for breakfast several times. I want to come for lunch as the menu looks amazing. Scrambled eggs with ham - with a side of tomatoes. Delicious. Quinoa bowl with two eggs over medium - comes with potatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms, avocado, quinoa, shredded cheese. You have the option of bacon or ham - I always choose diced ham. This is my absolutely favorite item on the menu. All their drinks were fantastic - black coffee (strong), vanilla latte (great) served in a Christmas mug (fun!), hot chocolate (great), hot honey ginger tea (very very yummy). The toast is served slathered in butter and with a tiny side of grape jelly. The grape jelly is AMAZING. I could eat an entire vat of that jelly by itself!!!! Highly recommend this place - it's off the beaten path restaurant. It's located on the corner/street side of Cerritos nestled within a small business park.

    Cute lil hole in the wall. Seems like a local spot. Casual dining, attentive staff, fast service. A place where the usuals come serving the community and service folk. Very huge portions, shouldn't leave hungry. Good prices during these times. Mom n pop spot.

    Good morning, it's breakfast time. This is our favorite spot now especially with a Favorites servers Lori I'm sorry I forgot the other ladies name.. we always receive great service and our food is always yummy. See you next week lol.

    Ortega Melt w/ fries.  Keepin' it simple.  :)

    Hidden place, cute atmosphere stopped in on a whim. First off, great service as I came in close to closing but they would not let me leave and happily served me with a smile (I try really hard not to be that person coming in right at closing). The breakfast options look great so I'll need to return with the fam some morning. Ordered an Ortega Melt as that one of my lunch staples, on point. :)

    So, we drive by this place all the time. So finally tried it for breakfast. OH MY GOD. It's so good. Good size portions and prices are better than most. The whole meal was cooked to perfection, like I requested. The ham steak is to die for. Very laid back atmosphere. Our server Lori is amazing. It reminds me of the quaint restaurant in Montana. Highly recommend.

    Great breakfast spot with very friendly staff. My omelet was cooked to perfection and my hash-browns were nice and crisp. I like the fact food is unsalted to allow me to salt at my own risk. I did not get the young ladies name who was my server but she was a sweetheart. Great atmosphere with staff greeting anyone walking in.

    Chorizo scramble with beans, potatoes and flour tortillas.
    Danna P.

    This is my in-laws go to breakfast spot. We have been many times with them, but today we trekked there alone. The chorizo scramble plate is huge. My husband is a hearty eater and could only finish half. Leftovers will be great tomorrow! I opted for the chicken fried steak plate and it was pretty good. Also, a large portion and I have leftovers. My gravy was lukewarm so that was a disappointment. But overall the experience was good. The service was top notch. Jen was on top of it. By far one of the best servers we have ever encountered.

    Pastrami sandwich
    Fuyme J.

    First time visitors Indoor and outdoor sitting Parking lot shared with other businesses Place open at 7am serves both breakfast and lunch ! Upon walking in very much local establishment but you might be standing awkwardly in the doorway to find a place to sit or asking the staff if it was ok to sit at the bar as we did Order veggie sandwich with onion rings and pastrami sandwich with salad Good tasty great. Fresh, crisp, right about of portion, not greasy and easy on the stomach. Reasonable pricing. Only concern is observing the servers helping with some of the kitchen tasks like toasting bread but not wearing gloves and still taking orders and going back and forth. Also one of the busser was eating his breakfast behind the counter while working and assisting and others. Overall great place and ambiance, but I be a bit concern of the cross contamination if or when it may occur.

    Coffee's good & they refill often!

    From the outside Firehouse Cafe is unassuming, located in a small business park. The inside is also pretty basic but it's cozy & welcoming, allowing the excellent food & service to take the spotlight. The menu offers traditional as well as creative takes on Breakfast & Lunch choices. Portions are generous & taste homemade. Prices while not low (but what is these days?) are the same or even a few bucks less than other places that aren't nearly as good. Thumbs up on the quality Coffee & they're spot on with refills. The Feta Omelette's a winner. Filled with spinach, tomatoes & mushrooms generously festooned with crumbled Feta Cheese. The tomatoes (instead of potatoes) were ripe & a nice thickness. Sometimes tomatoes as a side are just plain sad. My choice of toast was the tasty Rye Bread. The BF was happy w/ the Burger Patty, over medium Eggs & country Potatoes. Their hash browns are also good. Other terrific dishes we've had: - Tuna Melt...Crispy, buttery toast & creamy tuna. A guilty pleasure. - Quinoa Bowl...So good! A variety of sautéed vegetables, avocado, diced potatoes, choice of meat such as ham or bacon & 2 eggs any style all atop tender quinoa. - Country Sausage Omelette (not for the faint of heart...it's creamy & rich!) Other winners: - Eggs Benedict Florentine - The Big Breakfast Burrito - The Mexican Chicken Sandwich. This one features a grilled chicken breast on a Torta roll. The flavor is crave-able with Melted Provolone, cilantro, avocado & red onions. Sometimes there's a wait but tables & booths are bussed quickly & you're bound to sit at a table or booth soon enough. There's also a counter. You pretty much can't go wrong with any menu item & parking is usually never a problem. Whether you come solo or otherwise you hopefully will feel at home. They seem to really appreciate you coming in & happily refill your beverages too!

    Close up... it's packed with all the good stuff

    One of my favorite coffee shops. The interior is small with only a few tables but what they serve…read moreis superb. I visited on a weekday afternoon and ordered a Biscoff latte and a lemon bar. I sat at the one available table and savored both items. The Biscoff latte was iced, with just enough ice to make it cold. I appreciate that they didn't overdo the ice like most coffee places. The flavor of cookie butter was vivid, sweet, and delicious. The cream top and crumbles of Biscoff added to the visual appeal. The lemon bar was slightly sweet and citrusy, with a tasty thin outer crust, the top of which was sprinkled with powdered sugar. For me, this was a perfect lemon bar in every way. If I lived anywhere near here, this would be a regular stop.

    First time here and it was a nice, easy stop. I tried the black sesame oat latte and the biscotti…read morelatte. Both were good, just nothing that really stood out just yet. Service was really good. The place inside is cute with a clean, minimal vibe. There are small white tables lined along the wall with a bench and stools and some simple decor and artwork that gives it a cozy feel. It's not very big, but there were still plenty of open tables which was nice. Everything was clean and parking was easy since it's in a shopping center. I'm looking forward to trying more next time. Deff a decent spot if you're in the area and want something simple and low key.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while now so I decided to stop by while I had some…read moreerrands to run in Buena Park. I came on a Thursday around 4 PM and there were a few people doing work at the tables. The service was super quick and I saw why once I ordered. They don't had whisk their matcha but rather just squeeze the matcha out of a bottle. Lowk scared me but I was still willing to give it a try! I ordered a matcha latte and my friend got an einspanner which both looked promising. The matcha is very grassy and leaves my mouth super dry. The flavor is there and it's not super sweet which I like but it also has a weird salty undertone that I'm not used to in a matcha latte. I think I need to try a matcha einspanner since their foams seem to be what makes the drinks good but I otherwise wouldn't get this matcha again. My friend's einspanner was okay. She mainly liked the cream foam but otherwise it wasn't anything special. The coffee is just straight black so it's not sweet at all until you mix the foam in. Ratings Matcha Latte: 2.5/5 Einspanner: 3/5

    This Review has been WAY TOO OVERDUE…read more I've been coming to this place for a few months, it's my go to if I'm going to finish up work or just not think of anything and enjoy the coffee they have which I must say is REALLY REALLY GOOD, I've had like 70% of their menu and each drink just hits the spot better than the other, Americano? Hits, lattes? HITS HARDER, new drinks like their walnut latte? Oh you bet it's fire. Their VTM coffee tastes very very authentic as well and I'm very obsessed with this place. When you enter and specially in the morning they're usually busy so you do have to stand in the line to order or go straight and pick up the order online if you've made one online. They're very very fast and efficient! Every single time I go Alex always takes good care of me, we're pretty much best friends at this point! On top of that, Kevin and Barbra are also extremely friendly and I really love their attitude in the past few months that I've been going to this place I HAVE NEVER had a bad experience with any of the employees quite the opposite, they actually make the start to my day 10x better! Now the place it self is extremely aesthetic, quite, warm and automatically puts you in the mood for productivity with a peace of mind because of all of the colors around (black, white and grey) I should've left this review a while ago but hey better late than never! Thank you blk dot for these amazing employees and coffee!
