I usually get the Eggs Benedict as does my wife except she substitutes sausage instead of ham. They have great hashbrowns and what they call "oh those potatoes" which is a green pepper and onion and potato concoction which is also popular. My kids typically get French toast or pancakes and gobble it all down. I feel like the same servers and Cooks have been there since I started going eight years ago. The ambience is what you'd expect with a lot of old pictures on the walls. The last time we went was Monday and it was so busy I couldn't believe it. There was actually about a 40 minute wait to sit down for a party at four. Parties of two were able to sit down a little quicker because they have lots of two tops. I've only ordered breakfast, although they have plenty of sandwiches and salads. I saw a stack of onion rings piled high that looked pretty tasty. The menu has a wide variety that will satisfy just about anybody.

Most seating is indoors with a couple of outdoor tables too. I ordered a hot Spanish latte plus chose a blueberry jam muffin from the pastry case. And a Campfire Cookie as a bonus. The place was fairly full but I found a seat at a counter. The Spanish latte was superb with smooth coffee and cinnamon flavors that blended for a perfectly balanced profile. I appreciated it was at an immediately drinkable temperature. The muffin was really, really good. Really. It was moist, fresh, and full of blueberries and a layer of blueberry jam. The big cookie was quite good, although in all honesty I've had better in this genre. I didn't stay long as there was some annoying guy who'd set up office at a table with his AirPods firmly inserted and loudly giving legal advice in an obnoxious manner that is typical of ambulance-chaser lawyers. Why do coffee shops put up with this?

I loved the zucchini inclusions and removed the spinach (I don't like the chalky mouth feel) with a side of yogurt. It was a great breakfast option.

It's a simple, easy seat-yourself spot where you grab your own utensils and condiments. The food came out really fast--I even had time to use the restroom while we waited. My fiancé ordered the soufflé pancakes with fresh strawberries and their strawberry cream. They were jiggly and soft, and not too sweet. It was like biting into a cloud. I got the country fried steak, egg, and cheddar sandwich on a brioche bun with their home-fried potatoes. I was expecting a bit more, but the gravy really saved it. Pro tip: ask for extra gravy. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd love to try more of their menu. I'd recommend this place to anyone willing to give it a try.

But honestly, I didn't know it was 95% outdoor seating. Had I known, I would have not picked this place for brunch. About the food, I read my friend Bonnie's review. And she and I are always spot on as Foodies. Maybe it's not as good as before. I'm really not sure. But I wouldn't go out of my way to return. I absolutely hate aggressive birds flying right above my head chasing food on a platter or leftovers on a table. Unsanitary to say the least. I think the house potatoes are the stars of the show. Everything else was heavy and very greasy. A lot of reviewers noted that the Pastrami Hash was to die for. IMO it needed a crunchy texture to it. Pickles would have been a great add on. My chicken sandwich with mashed potatoes on a biscuit wasn't proportional. Leaving it kind of messy to eat. It was also too heavy. The fries added to the greasy textures. In summary, I would say 2/5 is fair game in a Foodie mind.

What else to say about Chaupain, except it's always exceptional?…read more I'm biased - but their pastries have got to be the best in OC. This is the 3rd Chaupain location I've been to, I happened to be in the area. It's smaller than the one on La Paz in LN to be sure, but ample size enough to provide anyone with full tastes of their amazing goods. I like everything - I've tried nearly all of their pastries and cakes, this time I tried the cinnamon roll- which was insanely good, soft, and tasted of such quality. Actually - never tried their quiche, which is certainly on a bucket list for next time. I highly recommend everything they have - but just to name a new, the guava cream cheese, cinnamon cream cheese, mixed berry bateau, opera cake, vanilla scone, any of their croissants, lemon tiramisu, and the jamon sandwich is incredible - I love that the bread had a chewy texture, which is perfect for this sandwich. Adding any of the American condiments would almost be a sacrilege, but a bit of dijon is good, which they have there in packets- the flavours work so well together. I really struggle to restrain myself when coming here, which necessary for your wallet and your waistline - but whatever you decided it's all good here. The customer service was also stellar - very friendly, helpful, and personable. Thank you !
