    We were leaving Wrightwood and wanted to grab breakfast before heading back to Orange County. A quick Yelp search led us to this local spot in the town of Phelan, a town I honestly had never even heard of before! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted and seated right away. The restaurant is spotless! Everything was sparkling clean, including the restroom. Service was quick, friendly, and attentive, and the food came out fresh and delicious. If you ever find yourself passing through this town, do yourself a favor and stop here for breakfast. It's a hidden gem worth checking out!

    Bacon avocado burger with curly fries
    Janet E.

    Tried out this place for lunch for the 1st time. It was just okay to be honest. I got a burger and it a decent size but it lacked flavor. Just tasted like a burger you could have made at home. I got the curly fries which were really tasty but i wasn't told they were going to be an up charge. My husband ordered the bacon cheeseburger with onion rings, unfortunately we paid an up charge of 1.99 and we got 5 mini onion rings. We didn't think it was worth it so we sent them back & asked for regular fires instead. He never sends back food so i was shocked. Our server was a young kid who was nice but i must say he needs to learn how to talk appropriately in the customer service field. Bro is not a thing to say to my husband.

    Green chile chilaquiles. Spicy and very tasty.
    David H.

    Gave it a shot and we weren't disappointed. We ordered a small bowl of menudo which was more than enough. Comes with 3 corn tortillas or flour if you prefer. Also enjoyed the chilaquiles in green sauce. Nice kick. Egg well cooked and the beans are great. Spanish rice is standard, but good. Overall, I have no problem recommending Gisselle's for a good meal, nice family feel and good service.

    While visiting family in Phelan we stopped by to try a new local spot that was recommended. As soon as we walked through the front door, it felt very welcoming and pleasant. The staff and owner were very friendly and attentive, making sure we enjoyed our experience. The food came out hot and freshed and every night was delicious. The cafe is very family friendly and you people from different backgrounds and cultures coming together for some delicious food. This is our new go to spot for breakfast when in the high desert. Now got to try out their other foods... Lunch trip in the near future...

    Just had lunch here today with my partner & our 3 kids after visiting the animal sanctuary. We started with mozzarella sticks, side salad, and biscuit with gravy. For mains, we had chicken fried chicken, Philly cheese steak, BLT with avocado, and kids Mac n cheese. And dessert... ice cream!! Everything was so good, and served fast! Bonus points for the cleanliness of the bathrooms too. Ray, thank you for being so friendly & making us feel welcome!

    Chilaquiles plate
    Cecilia M.

    It was our first time here and it wont be our last. I had the Chilaquiles plate and it was delicious. My husband had the breakfast chicken skillet with biscuits n gravy dish, yum! The service was amazing, Ray and his son made the visit more welcoming and enjoyable. The ambiance is adorable, they did a great job with the decorations and it was comfortable. We will be back to try several other dishes, so if you are looking for a great place to eat you must try Gisselle's.

My wife and I ordered two vanilla lattes, the chicken and waffles, and a sausage breakfast burrito. Everything was cooked perfectly and flavorful, absolutely zero notes. The coffee is fantastic, the breakfast was incredible, and the staff was friendly and efficient, keeping the service moving quickly even when they were busy. We ended up coming back the next two days as well. We loved it so much that we came back one evening to try their pizza, and it didn't disappoint either. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. Excellent food, great coffee, and wonderful service!

We bought 2 coffees (a 12 oz drip coffee with half and half and a 16 oz iced latte). We also got 2 bagel breakfast sandwiches. Our total was $39!!!!! Even my tiny drip coffee cost significantly more than a Starbucks equivalent! The Quality I truly hate to say it because I want local businesses to be successful, but everything was low quality. My drip coffee was lukewarm when I got it, my wife said she prefers iced coffee from del taco compared to the one she had here. But the really disappointing thing was the sandwiches. First, they came out heaped with lettuce (on a breakfast sandwich???) I've never seen that before, and we didn't ask for it. After we picked the lettuce off of the sandwiches they were very small (especially for the price!!) I managed to eat about 2 bites of mine before I couldn't stomach it anymore. It was just bad. The sausage patty tasted freezer burned and was extremely dry and the egg white was undercooked. I love an over easy egg, but this was not that. This egg was not cooked enough to be served. My wife made it about 1 bite further than I did, then she had to call it quits. All in all, we paid $40 to throw away our sandwiches and drink aggressively mediocre coffee. What really sucks is that I want to support local businesses! I would love to keep going to a small local shop. But when they rob us blind and serve food like that, I can't justify it.

The oatmeal portion was large for a "cup." The bowl size portion, even larger, of course, would be good by itself for breakfast. The oatmeal was nicely textured, smooth, and creamy. Service was exemplary and friendly. The dining room is comfortable. This place will definitely go on rotation as a breakfast choice. Parking is plentiful in their lot.

They were simply sitting on a table next to the pickup window, and apparently I was expected to finish the job myself. The lids were stuck together, and when I finally managed to separate one and tried to put it on the cup, the cheap plastic cup crushed under the pressure, spilling my drink everywhere. The most frustrating part? When I asked for the drink to be replaced, they didn't want to replace it. So I'm paying around $8 for a mediocre coffee, and somehow I'm also responsible for fighting with defective lids and a flimsy cup--and then expected to just accept the loss when it spills? This is basic customer service. Put a lid on the drink. Use cups that don't collapse when someone tries to put a lid on them. And if your own setup causes a customer's drink to spill, replace it. For what they charge, the quality and service should be much better. I left feeling like I had paid premium prices to do the staff's job myself. Definitely not the experience I expected.
