It was delicious! I especially loved the baguette. It was soft and fluffy and paired really well with the filling. The Chicken Broccoli Mushroom combination is also a little more unique than the typical sandwich flavors you find everywhere, which made it stand out to me. Overall, Le Diplomate Cafe is such a solid spot if you're craving a sandwich and want something a little different. I'd definitely recommend it, and I can already see myself coming back.

I got the Chicken Eggplant sandwich and the portion size is 10/10. More importantly, every single thing in this sandwich was packed with flavor and not dry at all. The sauce was delicious, eggplant was so flavorful, chicken wasn't dry, and it came out piping hot. Definitely recommend eating this with the house hot sauce, it takes the flavors to a whole other level. Also, they have a happy hour deal from 3-6pm cash only and you get a Chicken Garlic Sandwich (best seller), chips, and a drink all for $7.40! I just didn't have cash on me this time, but I'm going to take advantage of this next time I'm in!

I've heard the Peruvian Steak, Prosciutto, and Chicken are good too! My only feedback with the Happy Hippie is that there is slightly too much filling, so it falls when you are eating the sandwich. Each of their sandwiches comes with two halves and is filling and satisfying. They also use fresh, vibrant vegetables, and a store associate told me their bread is baked fresh every day! Service: The service here is half the reason I come! A lovely store associate will guide you when ordering, and they will bring the food right to you! When they bring the food, there are two napkins on the tray. If they see you carrying your tray after you are finished eating, they will also offer to take it for you! Although the sandwich prices are slightly premium, you are paying for their healthy ingredients and exceptional service! Ambiance: This restaurant is spacious with many tables on the inside and outside! Their bathrooms are also really clean and well kept! Please go here for a healthy, non-bloating meal when you're in the area!

8/05/26 5:18 p.m. University Town Center…read more I decided to try the Peruvian Steak today without avocado. I usually order the Not So Fried Chicken, but I wanted to switch things up. I'd rate the Peruvian Steak an 8.5/10. The bread was perfectly toasted, the mustard added just the right amount of kick, and all of the flavors complemented each other well. It would have been a perfect 10/10 if one side of the bottom bun hadn't been completely soggy from the mustard spilling out of the sandwich. I ordered my sandwich to go, so if I had waited until I got home to eat it, I think the entire bottom of the sandwich would have been soggy. That was disappointing. For to-go orders, I think Mendocino Farms should automatically serve the mustard in a separate sauce container to help prevent this issue. My other qualm was with the pickup process. When I received the text that my order was ready, it read: "Your order at Mendocino Farms - 10 - UC Irvine is ready for pickup. Please proceed to the counter." Some restaurants have signs explaining whether customers should grab their to-go orders themselves or wait for a team member to assist them. I waited patiently at the counter for several minutes while a team member saw me standing there but didn't acknowledge me. After about five minutes, I finally asked, "Can I grab my order?" The process felt confusing and could have been communicated more clearly. Overall, I thought the sandwich was delicious and a great portion size. However, I think the to-go process could use some improvement. I ended up eating my sandwich in the restaurant because I could already see the bread becoming soggy when I picked it up, which wasn't part of my original plan.

I've been going to the specific location ever since they opened :) Always has the most incredible Dutch crunch bread. Nobody else in the area does it right like these guys do. Fresh, High-quality ingredients, and a bunch of delicious and various sauce options. I get what I like to call "The California Club" - Which is a grilled chicken sandwich on a Dutch crunch roll with pepper jack, bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and whatever sauce I'm feeling that day. Staff is always super chill and the restaurant is nice because the lighting isn't too bright. This is often my choice for having lunch delivered to my work, or just to grab and head down to the beach. 12/10 Can't recommend this place enough, will always return!

The inside is small, not too much seating so pickup orders are probably the better deal here. We decided to eat inside since we were heading to go shopping right after. It was a bit warm inside so that's why I suggest picking up your order. Service was great, and the time to wait for the order wasn't too long. I ordered the turkey bacon cold sandwich and requested that on grilled sourdough. Guys...amazing! This sandwich tasted so fresh and the flavors all paired so well. It was a decent size too, I literally had to smash it down a bit to get a bite in. Definitely coming back here to try some of their other sandwiches and most likely the breakfast burrito.

I usually get the menage a trois which is SO GOOD and yesterday was the first time I tried something different, the Adam RIchaman. I don't know what it is, but the flavor is soo good. I"m sure they could make a sandwich with like liver and it would still taste better than any other fast-food chain sandwich. There's plenty of parking at this location and they have both indoor and outdoor seating. The only thing I didn't notice was a restroom, but other than that, it's a solid location.

A solid breakfast burrito and I see why it makes so many Top OC lists. Without a doubt it is a top tier option. Great tasting. I ordered the bacon and left fully satisfied. I laughed reading the comments about the grease. Inside the tortilla are freshly cooked eggs, cheese, tater tots and a protein option what do you expect? If you want to eat clean stick to Avocado toast and fresh fruit. Parking is inside a large garage. The levers were raised this morning but I believe they validate parking. Service was slow because the cashier was inputting a large ordering and I bet they had several online orders as well (its near a plethora of businesses) I will go back to The Trough UNLESS the Cut starts serving their breakfast burritos all days of the week. If they go that route, I will drive the extra 6 minutes off the 405 and go there instead.

You can tell who is the manager - he's the guy sitting at a table with a "Stand" hat and tee-shirt feverishly entering data and looking at stuff on the computer. Why are managers always the one at the table with a laptop? If you go just down the block to Flower Child the manager is the one working at the counter handing our orders, or delivering orders to tables and interacting with the guests. Never saw him use a laptop but I'm certain he does. But the manager said goodbye to us as we left. A chicken sandwich with chicken and cole slaw was made with chicken that we very flat and hard, and had no real taste at all. I think we've been trained to get all our flavor from sauces - they had lots of sauces available and brought them to the table on request. A basket of sweat potato fried was undercooked and too soft. Not so good even with salt and lots of sauces. Of course we didn't eat the signature burger....that's what The Stand is known for...so we didn't really give them a chance for their home run. The place was about 25% full at about 3pm so ambiance was fairly quiet and service was quick. Not sure about a return visit. We're on the fence.

Their menu is solid, with burgers and other items that make a casual meal. You can also order via their app to pick up. They get really busy at times, and orders take a little longer. There have been a few times when they made the wrong order by mixing up sauces among items I have ordered. For example, the sauces I order for fries were added to a hot dog. That can be annoying, especially when the orders state which condiments go with what items. They do correct the orders, which I appreciate. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. Because the Newport Beach weather is amazing year-round, eating outdoors is definitely a treat.

When we arrived around two in the afternoon, the restaurant was nearly empty. The interior was stylish, but I preferred sitting outside to enjoy the view. A large group of golfers was having lunch nearby. Since it wasn't crowded, our server easily arranged a table for seven. One downside was a man who continued to smoke on the patio despite being told it wasn't allowed, though fortunately, he didn't smoke the entire time. My man and I shared a Mexican Mango Mule, which was especially refreshing after the lengthy ceremony. We sampled several dishes--calamari, chicken wings and fries, beef tacos, and chicken tacos--in order of preference, from most favorite to least (though none were bad, just varying in appeal). The kids enjoyed a bowl of Bolognese and seemed satisfied. To top it off, the staff surprised me with a complimentary brownie and ice cream to celebrate my graduation.
