    Ham and turkey panini.
    Valerie D.

    Restaurant is a good size and very clean. Service was friendly and helpful. The food was ok. This is not a homey place, it's more like an Urth cafe type spot. A little pricey but it was very fresh and filling. Not a huge menu but they have a variety of items to choose from, including baked goods. Their coffee was pretty good.

    I've been here a few times and forgot to write them a review. It's such a cute cafe and has a laid back vibe. It's pretty spacious and has some outlets if you're looking for a space to work out of. Their coffee is pretty good and decently priced. My favorites are the strawberry matcha and the sugar free vanilla latte. Their food and pastry items are pretty good. I haven't found a favorite yet though. The service here is friendly and served with smiles. One of my favorite spots to work out of.

    I walked in first thing in the morning when they opened. I ordered the Banana Oat on ice; they didn't have an option for a warm cup. I ordered hot chocolate and a soy chorizo burrito . The decor is nicely put together; I love the Christmas tree, the vibe, and the open space. The cashier was very friendly. The food was a 2.6/5. The soy burrito had more black beans and peppers, and the French fries were not fresh but rather stale. There's a kick of spice, but not enough seasoning. I had three bites and just didn't have an appetite for it. However, I'll definitely come back to try something different. Aittle on the pricey side for a burritoni believe I paid like $33 or something for just three things

    Gracias Cafecito came up on my Yelp suggestions and we decided to give it a try since it's relatively close by. Coffee: 8/10 We tried their Spanish and French vanilla hot lattes. Both were pretty decent coffees. Not too sweet but also not too strong. They have a great variety of lattes, including their holiday options, and different flavor matchas. I will say, prices are on the higher end ($7ish +). Food: 8.5/10 It's always great when you find a cafe with food options and not just pastries. We ordered their breakfast burrito and soyrizo burrito. They are pretty expensive and compared to a $15 burrito somewhere else, not that big. BUT both were very flavorful. They have black beans in them, which is different, but bomb! Definitely recommend them both. We also got a blueberry muffin that was your standard blueberry muffin..nothing special. I will say, maybe it was the muffin we got, but there were no blueberries inside, just on top which was a bummer. Overall, the food was good. Vibes/Ambiance: 7/10 We visited on a Friday morning and it wasn't too busy. There were only a handful of people there. The cafe is very cute and cozy. The space is big and has plenty of tables. A great space to study or work. It is very quiet. Staff is nice but a little serious. They bring out your items to you so that was a very nice touch but there's very little interaction from them so I didn't get that welcoming feeling. Overall, it's a solid option for you to try.

    Gracias Cafe is a cute and convenient coffee shop! Their drinks are sweet and flavorful. Their shop is quiet with a lot of tables making it a nice place to study or enjoy a coffee alone or with others. Added bonus was seeing their Grace & Co. corner with cute, faith based clothing items!

    The space is spacious with plenty of seating and I really love the couches because they give off a cozy homey vibe. The decor is adorable which makes it a great spot to hang out. The customer service was excellent as well. The person taking my order was very friendly and they even brought my drink out to me. This is definitely a great place to study. I ordered the banana cream matcha but unfortunately it did not meet my expectations. The matcha flavor was quite weak and the overall drink tasted mostly like banana milk. The banana cream had an artificial taste that I did not enjoy. Overall I would recommend this place for studying or spending time here but I would not recommend the banana cream matcha.

    Came here early morning! it was not too busy! lots of parking in the plaza the space has an airy feel and lots of space to sit and talk or work. I like the wall art they had. I ended up getting the iced Banana matcha latte! my husband got a classic latte hot. Both drinks were really good! the matcha had foam that was banana, so as you sipped you got the banana flavor. The flavor was overall good for the matcha! i enjoyed it! I don't think id get the banana foam again tho, for me it was a bit too banana ish but i know others like that flavor! the latte was good too, rich and creamy felt like a hug in a cup. I will definitely be back to try their food as well!

    I was looking for breakfast and found this place was in my backyard. So I was excited to try. I walked in and approached the counter I said Hi to the girl at the register and she didn't speak back nor did she ask what did I want to order. I felt that was not what I am use to when I visit establishments, however I wasn't going go let that ruin a possible good find within this place so I just started my order. I ordered the avocado toast for myself and the Turkey panini for mu boyfriend and 2 lavender lattes. I sat at one of the tables inside waiting for my order. The same girl who didn't greet me walked over and brought both lattes I ordered. She also returned to ask if I needed a cup holder. (I guess she does have some good customer service in her) she brought the cup holder over and then return again with my order I said thank you and left the restaurant. I arrived home to EAT. My boyfriend questioned where I got the food from because he really liked his food. I shared with him my findings. He stated he didn't really like the drink but I did. I absolutely didn't enjoy my avocado toast. The bread was crouton hard and the avocado spread tasted like one of the ready made avocado spreads you buy at the grocery stores. Which wasn't horrible but it wasn't the best either it didn't really have any flavor to overall. I would probably revisit this location and try something else on the menu since my boyfriend food was good and see if I will be greeted next time but I'm in no rush to revisit. The decor was ok you can tell it was some effort put into it. Gives more of a coffee house vibes.

    Turkey panini
    Stephanie G.

    I finally got to try Gracias Cafecito!! I'm always off work so late but luckily today I actually had time to stop by! It was super packed but I didn't know they offered online ordering so that's something I'm definitely going to do whenever I go back. The stag was super super friendly which was a bit shocking because I would have assumed I would have a fast interaction with someone who's overwhelmed- which is totally understandable considering how busy it was! The turkey panini was soooo good! I love bellpepppers and turkey together so immediately a 10/10. The banana toast I believe had honey and my sister loved it. The caramel frappe almost reminds me of the McDonald's caramel frappe, with a difference between the consistency of the drink. Definitely coming back but placing an order online!

    I love supporting small businesses and know often the prices maybe a little higher, but I expect higher quality, too. Tell me why one piece of avocado toast is $10? Mind you it wasn't even on quality bread, it was thin and crunchy with a light smear of avocado! I honestly felt ripped off. I can make it at home with better ingredients and tasting better, too. They had breakfast sandwiches that have meat cheese and egg on a croissant starting at $6.75 why on earth would one piece of toast be $10? I know avocados can be expensive but you're not even generous with the amount that you put on the toast. Sorry for the rant ...Coffee was decent, but not to the standards where I would return again for the higher prices. Customer Service was good, though.

    The coffee was quite flavorful. The chilaquiles were delicious but oh so spicy. I ended up ordering a to go coffee because I enjoyed it so much. The only issue is that the service took some time.

    Turkey Panini
    Karina F.

    We ordered two strawberry matcha lattes and a turkey and cheese panini. The sandwich was good but nothing really special, the bell peppers were a little odd..if I could add a recommendation, cook them down a little more but maybe that's just a preference. The matcha lattes were good but I felt like it was more of a milk flavor versus matcha. The service was great though and the vibe inside was nice. I would go again to try something else.

I saw a server drop a piece of bacon on the floor, pick it up, and still take it to a customer's table. The same server later seated me, so I asked for her name since she wasn't wearing a badge. She said her name was Emily. After I told my wife what I saw, she immediately wanted to leave -- and I agreed. This is unacceptable. Management needs to review the cameras for that time window and address this issue as fast as possible. Food dropped on the floor should NEVER be served to anyone.

    I came during lunch time and it was packed. The host was so sweet and handed us some menus to look…read moreover while we waited for our entire party to arrive. Once we were ready she had our table already prepared. We have to order inside first before you can be seated. Once seated our food came out not too long after. Everything looked and tasted delicious! We ordered the chilaquiles verde, short rib omelette, tropical pancakes (seasonal), and the mango curd french toast (seasonal). The chilaquiles verde was savory and tangy. It wasn't soggy at all and definitely one of my favorite dishes. The short rib omelette was savory but didn't give me any wow factor compared to the other dishes I ordered. The tropical pancakes were so pretty. I only tried a piece of it without the syrup which I think was a mistake because the kumquat syrup was my friend's favorite. I definitely need to try it again with the syrup. Best for last, mango curd French toast was my favorite! I fell in love with sweetness and tanginess of the mango curd. The French toast was soft and you can taste the butter. I wish it was a main menu item. I'll definitely be sad to see it go. They have lots of seating inside and outside.

    Dining While Black…read more Location- Great setup, half indoor & outdoor. I was curious about the level of accessibility and clearer directions on where to stand when the line passes the framing of the restaurant. But Great Downey location! Diversity score 1-5: 1.5 As a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the workplace professional, in order to garner financial success of any business is to be intentional about representation in your business. Money is green and people of all backgrounds have access to it. In an effort to reach a larger marketplace, your staffing is the first step towards reaching financial goals and attracting more business. Diversity is not just about color but it also includes accessibility for the handicapped community, Braille menus, and possibly more signage that displays the type of service a customer can expect. Please contact me for consultation services. Service/Ambiance/Environment: The service is where my issue lies. I did appreciate that as we were waiting in line to enter, we were given menus to assist in deciding what we wanted before we reached the inside. The cashiers were both super nice and even offered a taste of the Rose' slushy which was phenomenal. When ordering at the register, the sweet service was continued and we chose where to sit. It was bright and busy inside and we sat right in front of the expo station. I was truly enjoying the environment and it had me reminiscing of my brunch days in New York City. My guest and I were chatting and enjoying our Mimosa's and then my guests food arrives first. Not that it matters but in service certain things do and the female presenting person SHOULD always receive their food first. That was a surprise to me but I didn't read into as I expected my dish to arrive right behind. It did not. My guest and I continued to chat and sip until 20 mins later, as I'm watching dishes leave the expo station, did I say "where is my food?" The young server at the expo turned and rolled their eyes and then finally gave me my food. This was a buzz kill. I only went down a rabbit hole about it until I noticed I was the only Black person present. First, why would it ever been ok to not have dishes arriving to tables separately without saying "ma'am we're a little behind.." or to my guest "do you mind if we hold your dish a bit so we can make sure the food arrives together?" Being a previous server in high pace restaurants, communication, apologies, and ensuring perfect service is the goal. Poached is not a store front or even a little diner type of place. It's a casual, upbeat, bright breakfast/brunch spot. And yes, on busy days things happen but to not offer a reason, or apology, and giving the customer attitude is unacceptable. Food: The description of the food is well written. The prices are reasonable. I ordered the short rib omelette with whole grain toast and house potatoes. When I Finally received my food it looked great and I was eager to dig in. A first bite of the omelette I was sadly underwhelmed. The seasoning left much to be desired and it seamed to be more of a birria short rib flavor and I thought I chose the dish based on being excited about the combination of meat and cheese (which was barely there). I enjoyed the bread and potatoes more than the omelette. Go again score 1-5: 2 I really think this restaurant and it's operation needs some massaging, the cooks need to be trained, and a REAL chef needs to help improve the quality and taste of the food.

    Revisit? Definitely. Great for weekend breakfast…read more Sunrise Cafe never disappoints. It's just what a casual diner should be: delicious, generous with the portions, and efficient. I usually order the Popeye Omelet with home fries and toast. Everything is seasoned well and the ingredients taste fresh. Other things I've tried include the Chilaquiles, French Dip, Kids Scrambled Egg Breakfast with French Toast, and Posole. Everything is classic and reliably good. You'll think, wow, I'll probably need a box to-go, but somehow you'll eat it all in one sitting! Sometimes you have to write your name down at the check-in stand out front in order to get a table. But I've never had to wait too long. The servers really pay attention to anything you might need without rushing you or asking lots of questions. So I think that's how they keep the wait time short. The vibes here are just 10/10 for a family breakfast. Our toddler likes watching the model train that circles the upper windows of the restaurant. It's busy so there's lots of pleasant background noise. You can watch the traffic go by on Lakewood Blvd. Prices aren't too steep. I've ordered takeout and delivery from here as well and never had any complaints. Parking can be hard to find in the lot right next to the restaurant but can usually be found right away in the back lot. Overall, just a nice neighborhood spot to eat.

    Parking is a struggle with only a small lot available - 2/10…read more The outside appearance feels a bit outdated, giving off a local dive bar vibe - 6/10. Inside, the place is clean but definitely could use some updates - 6/10. Staff were very nice and friendly, though I wish coffee refills were automatic - 7/10. The food reminds me of home cooking. I really enjoyed their Mexican dishes but preferred the breakfast menu overall. The hobo omelet and breakfast potatoes had great flavor. However, the biscuits and gravy were disappointing, tasting like store-bought biscuits and canned gravy--probably from Costco or Sam's Club. Coffee was very good, but I wish someone would walk around constantly refilling cups. Overall, a decent spot with some room for improvement.
