Amazing brunch. Can't stop thinking about that breakfast burrito with the tender beef and crispy shredded hash brown. This is my new favorite brunch spot!! The fluffy Japanese style soufflé pancakes with the mango/strawberry syrup was tasty. The avocado toast was a savory delight!! I like the picked cucumber banchan sprinkled on top and the nori. Service was good and friendly. I like the coffee but it could have been a bit hotter. I loved this place and the owners were so nice too. Cute little cafe. Just the right size with outdoor seating as well. read more

I was really excited to eat here after seeing all my friends post about it for so long I finally got to try it. I wasn't very impressed. I got the Kalbi Jeem Benedict. It is not worth 21 dollars. For the Koreans, do not expect Kalbi Jeem the way you might imagine it from a restaurant. Yes it is Kalbi Jeem, but not marinated very well and just average quality. Kimchi Fried Rice taste like regular fried rice with no kimchi. You can tell that they use the meat ends and leftover cuts of meat and put it all together to make the fried rice. I think this is Korean owned so I expected it to be more Korean/Asian flavors but it is a very American style of food. I know a lot of people enjoy this restaurant so you should still try it for yourself but for me I felt like I was eating dessert for a lunch The benedict and fried rice tasted like it was drowned in sugar or Korean "Yut" sauce. It was SO SWEET! I didn't enjoy that taste at all. But if you like that style then you should def try this restaurant. It wasn't for me and I'm sad because there were a lot of dishes I wanted to try but my stomach can't handle the sweet sugar marinatation. Eggspresso on Bastanchury is a similar concept to here but I think tastes better. read more

Looking for a new brunch spot to try out? Check out @kitch_cafe Located at 1935 W Malvern Ave, Fullerton, CA 92833 This new brunch spot has amazing options for coffee and tea. I really enjoyed their shashouka which you can take your toast and dip in the sauce and eggs. I also enjoyed their salmon toast which was perfect for me to have during Lent! However, if you have a sweet tooth you absolutely have to try their ube toast. You cannot go wrong with this. read more

Food is solid and unique but the timing of the food and customer service is poor. The timing of food is very mistimed and even after a second visit, didn't seem to change. I got my food at a reasonable time, but my friends didn't get their food for 45 minutes. There was nothing done to reassure progress or even comp the meal. Let alone, sides were missing and it basically ruined the vibes of the meal on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Food is great, but unfortunately timing of the meal can ruin the mood. When part of your party is done eating or waiting on cold food. Wish the staff would genuinely apologize, instead of brushing it off with a "sorry about that" as they walk away. read more

My cousin and I went to this cafe on a Sunday around 10:30am. It was extremely busy and did not seem to be staffed appropriately to accommodate the volume of people ordering. We were lucky to find a seat. As another reviewer mentioned, the girl working up front was not very friendly. Overall it seemed very disorganized with only one or two staff bringing food to tables. There were also numerous parties waiting around for seats and a lot of people waiting at the coffee bar for orders that had not come out yet. Due to the number of people waiting, I saw a staff member walking up to a table and asking the guests if they were finished eating so someone else can sit but they still looked to be working on their food. As for the food, I ordered the smoked brisket breakfast burrito and my cousin ordered the breakfast sando. The burrito was listed on their menu as $16 but I was charged $18. Nowhere on their paper menus or digital menu up front does it say the breakfast burrito is $18. While I understand the price of eggs had drastically increased, this restaurant should ensure their prices are up to date to ensure transparency with their customers. The breakfast burrito was served with pico de gallo, but it is listed on the menu to be served with pickled onions which were nowhere to be found. Upon biting into my burrito, the tortilla tasted somewhat raw and the hash browns were extremely oily and overpowered the entire burrito so I was unable to even taste the brisket. The sando was reported to be very average and bland. Overall I believe this place has potential, ensuring proper staffing and price transparency would go a long way. read more

maybe it was the downpour of rain that made the place feel out of sorts (I guess they rely on the outdoor patio a lot to manage the volume of customers they've been getting -- with people mainly preferring to eat inside today, they're not used to managing a long waitlist maybe?) the initial experience of trying to get a table was clumsy and awkward -- did not feel much hospitality from the start through the end of the meal. not to mention my friend ordered a latte that did not come until AFTER the soufflé pancakes I ordered, which they prefaced would take 20-30 minutes of cook time. my friend inquired 4 times before it came out. menu looked promising and creative, however I was not impressed by the food, and definitely not impressed by the service. read more

This place was really good!! I went twice this week already just for the matcha latte and pizza! Super nice staff making sure everything was good. Will definitely become my go to place read more

The food and drinks are really delicious, the staff are super friendly, the service is efficient and easy. This place gets packed for a reason, but don't let the long wait deter you! It goes quickly, and it's worth it. If my 4 year old can wait for her soufflé pancakes, anyone can! read more

Kitch Cafe - Matcha (lite sweet is the perfect amount), Smoke Steelhead Trout Toast, Original Soufflé Pancake. Devoured our side of bacon pre-picture. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fullerton, California

We went on a Saturday morning to get brunch with friends. It's a great location for small gatherings as they have both indoor and outdoor seating. It's even greater that they allow dogs! The service was great as they checked in on us often even when we were seated outside. We got 5 different dishes and they were just ok to be honest. We got the shakshuka, breakfast burrito, avocado omelette, quesadilla, and ube french toast. We could barely taste the ube in the french toast as it was just some ube syrup(?) drizzled over. One of us also got the banana matcha but again could not taste any of the banana. Everything was still tasty, but just not what we were expecting. I would still go back to try other menus as it's still a great location and environment for small gatherings with friends and family. read more

We loved it! We had the breakfast burrito, smoked brisket burrito, matcha soufflé pancake and the breakfast smash burger. There were a lot of other items that we would love to try on our next visit. Overall the menu items are inventive and executed well at a reasonable price point. My son scarfed down the brisket burrito, and said his fav bite was the one that had the slice of brisket and fat on it. The soufflé pancakes were extra fluffy with the right amount of sweetness. My over-medium yolk oozed over the juicy smashburger patties with each bite, making it literally finger licking good. The staff seemed like they enjoyed being there and pleasant overall. read more

Came here during the soft opening and I was super impressed with the food. My favorite things on the menu were the soufflé pancakes (strawberry and match) and the Proscuitto Burrata Hot Honey Toast. The highlight of the toast was the bread! Definitely recommend. There's a lot of seating indoor and outdoor. This is a much needed brunch place in this area and looking forward to coming back again. read more

Loved the seating and vibe that this cafe had and the staff are very nice and recommended what was good! I would come here again. read more

My boyfriend and I were really excited to try this brunch spot in Fullerton, but we were quickly disappointed with everything overall :( When we walked in, we weren't greeted and we were confused on if we were supposed to find a table or order first. We ended up waiting in line to order at the register, but once we got up there, the cashier let us know that there's a 15-20 minute wait to dine in. We ended up ordering to-go since we just wanted to eat, and the cashier told us he'd give us a call once our order was ready. We walked over to Barnes and Noble to pass the time, and we realized 40 minutes had passed without a call notifying us our food was ready. We went back to Kitch to check and our food was just sitting on the counter, not knowing how long it had been ready for since we did not receive a call. We ordered the kalbi jim sando, smoked brisket breakfast burrito, ube french toast, a regular matcha latte, and a pistachio cream matcha latte. We were underwhelmed by the food overall as the kalbi jim and smoked brisket tasted exactly the same and everything was pretty soggy due to the lack of notice that it was ready. The ube french toast also did not taste like ube unfortunately. The matchas were both really good, so if we were to come back, it'd just be for the drinks itself. Overall, just confused by the ordering system and disappointed in the quality of the food :( read more

We got to the place at 830pm but it was closed. It says on yelp and website that they close at 10pm. Complete waste of time and gas. They should update their hours. read more

This area has so many restaurants and stores that come and go but glad this old rubios got replaced with something good! My spouse and I went on grand opening day and although it was a rainy day, the traffic in here was still pretty good! You first go order at the counter and they give you a number to take back to your table and they will bring out the food for you. We ordered drip coffee, the original soufflé pancake and the breakfast burrito. The pancake was soft and the flavors went pretty well together. I loved that mango sauce on it! The breakfast burrito was good but I wish they gave a larger amount of salsa with it. The drip coffee I didn't like much as it tasted pretty watered down and they don't have sugar containers at the table so you have to ask for some. Also, not sure why the worker served creamer in an espresso cup. It seems very messy to pour creamer into my coffee from an espresso cup. I did like one of the owners coming to introduce herself to us and thanked us for dining there. Very friendly lady. We love supporting our local businesses and this place is right down the street and have plenty of parking and seating available inside and outside so I will definitely be making myself over more. read more

It wasn't as good as I expected. The avocado toast had avocado, cucumber kimchi, seaweed flakes, sesame seeds, and tomatoes on top, and it honestly felt like eating bread at home with cucumber kimchi on it. The matcha latte was the worst I've ever had-- I couldn't believe matcha powder could taste like that. Overall, I was very disappointed. read more

So I see a lot of reviews on here talking about the Brisket Burrito, I didn't try it, instead I went for their Brisket Sando which caught my eye for being just... kinda odd: beef brisket, Brie cheese, caramelized onion, mushrooms, sauce, fried egg on a brioche bun. I imagine a chef in the back kitchen being all like "guys, just go with me on this one." I see strange glances but ultimately support for this Sando Savant. "We're gonna take a grip load of juicy brisket and put it on our brioche bun." "Cool, sauce that bad boy, add some coleslaw for acid and crunch and..." "...( Channeling Isildur from LoTRs) NO... we're gonna take brie..." "brie?!" "Caramelized onions" "who are you?" "Mushrooms..." "I'm scared" "...finally, a fried egg!" "Get out" [most likely didn't happen this way but I like to dream] It probably shouldn't work: It's uniformly soft (no crunch), unrelentingly savory (no vinegar, or spice to cut the fat) and super messy (the brioche just can't contain all that moisture). Yet, I found it incredibly delightful. I will die on this hill. I think this sandwich is flawed but magnificent. I support the mind that creates this sandwich and I hope you'll love it too. TL;DR it's a flawed masterpiece. Get it while it still exists in this world. Otherwise, the wife got the steelhead trout toast. Pretty solid, nothing breathtaking but nothing bad. Coffee drinks were pretty decent too. We came pretty late in the afternoon so there wasn't much of a crowd, it was a pleasant stop and I'll have to try their other menu items. read more

You can taste the superior ingredients and attention to detail in the food. Prices are very reasonable for the QUALITY of food you get. The food is not greasy or heavy. The QR code allowing you to order and pay for your food with your cell phone is very convenient. You should definitely check this place out, I think I just found my new favorite breakfast/brunch spot! read more

Barista was extremely kind, (Hispanic male, longish hair) despite me coming in 30 mins before closing after he had cleaned everything already. Next time I will have to get his name to give a direct review. But anyways give him a raise !! Drink was well made. I would return to try more drinks. read more

I was excited to try this cafe after seeing it go viral on TikTok but was skeptical after seeing the mixed reviews. It's a cute little cafe, where you order at the counter or using the QR code at your table after getting seated. IMO the food here is just OKAY and honestly on the more expensive side. Staff are very friendly but service was inconsistent. There was a bit of a wait time for both a table and our food, which arrived at different times. Matcha soufflé pancake $15 (3/5): soufflé pancakes are predominantly made of eggs but it tastes overly eggy. Kalbi Jjim Eggs Benedict $21 (3/5): the dish itself is okay, was skeptical about the poached egg (which I noticed a lot reviews commenting on it being underdone) because the egg white part was really runny. I have eggs benedict often at brunch and this was the first time where it came out this way after slicing it open (picture attached). Ordered with a side of hash browns, which were soggy and a little oily. read more

i've been wanting to go here because it was all over tik tok. unfortunately, it wasn't worth all the hype. i got the biscoff french toast and that was a 10/10, but the serving size was kind of small for the price. my friend got the pork belly eggs benedict (which came with a side of hashbrown). the hashbrown was too crispy, it became tough to eat once it cooled down. the muffin for the eggs benedict also hardened within 10 mins of serving. lastly, my french toast took about 15-20 mins to come out. we had to ask the server twice for it. overall didn't have a good experience but i do want to go back to try other menu items and hopefully have a better experience! read more

The Bad: Our group of 3 were told to leave right after we finished eating our 3 plates of food because someone else made a reservation. (I believe it was the owner). It would have been nice to be able to chat while we all enjoyed a little more of our 3 specialty drinks. We even had a whole specialty drink poured into a to-go cup. The Good: The food, drinks and ambiance are great. The smash burger, fruit, and mexican latte is amazing. Expect to leave right after you finish eating though. I don't usually leave reviews, but felt this may be useful to know. read more

Kitch Cafe - Mexican Latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fullerton, California

I visited Kitch Cafe with great excitement and high expectations based off reviews and TikTok's I have seen about the restaurant. I came here with friends on June 20th at about 11 in the morning, and when we came in, we weren't greeted even though it was not busy at all inside. We looked at the menu and walked up to order and the lady at the register did not seem friendly or welcoming but I looked past it. So, I ordered The Breakfast Plate and was asked by the lady about what kind of bread I wanted, I replied and then I asked what kind of sides are offered. The cashier responded saying The Breakfast Plate does not come with a side (with an attitude)... I felt very uncomfortable and kindly said that it does state it comes with a side on the menu. The cashier proceeds to look back and up at the TV menus for 10 seconds and says 'Oh yeah, you're right', (without even apologizing.. by the way). The food itself was good, the Spanish latte was not the best, I wish I would have felt comfortable enough to ask for a different drink (because the strawberry matcha was really good!) Overall, this business should be more friendly and offer better customer service, I felt disappointed and my friends also felt uncomfortable with that interaction. We will not be returning, even as Fullerton locals, sadly! read more

Honestly I have no complaints! We ordered the Biscoff Banana French Toast and the Pork Belly Burrito. Both were a hit. Burrito portion was big, and French toast squares were 4 on a plate and so good. French toast was filled with a cream and had bananas and biscoff on top. Wait was minimal and pricing was good. I will definitely be back! read more

I came to kitch cafe to see and taste the food! I tried the spicy italian sausage pizza and banana biscoff french toast. The spicy italian sausage pizza was a little bit salty for me personally and bottom of the pizza was a little bit burnt but overall it was good! But the banana biscoff french toast was so good! I forgot to take a picture of it because I was eating it so fast! It was fluffy and it was the best french toast I ever had in my life! You should try it if you like french toast. The service as well was good! Very friendly! And they had a good interior as well. I think the price was a little high compared to the amount of the food! But overall, I like this place for the brunch! read more

Managing expectations that this restaurant just opened three days ago is important. We arrived during the busy rush and it was hard to find seating and the food was slow. But the staff was lovely and communicative- and brought around free pizza for everyone. They were definitely overwhelmed and I don't think they expected it to be this popular the first weekend after opening. We had the brisket burrito and the fluffy pancakes and both came out great! I'd especially go back for the sweet treats as they were totally different than what's on offer anywhere else. If you are just looking for eggs and savory, it's pretty standard to other options around Fullerton. All in all I say, give them a chance and let them fix their technical missteps due to being a new restaurant because I think this could be a pretty great place! read more

I only recommend the french toast and the matcha. We waited 45 minutes to be seated. We ordered the french toast, pancakes, breakfast burrito and the eggs benedict. After we placed our order, we waited another 25-30 minutes. The food was bland. The food is not that good for the amount of time you have to wait to be seated. read more

Kitch Cafe - Pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fullerton, California

Visited this morning with a friend and unfortunately had a frustrating experience. We waited over an hour to be seated, watching several other parties walk in and get seated immediately. When we finally approached the host to ask, we were told that waitlisted guests must wait to be called -- even though we had been first on the list for almost half and hour and still saw multiple groups seated before us. Keep in mind, it was two of us and they were seating multiple other groups of two so no it's not a matter of having a different sized party. Once seated, we were given dirty utensils which the waitress noticed and replaced. It's self order through a QR code which I liked. We ordered the Original Soufflé Pancake, Kalbi Jjim Eggs Benedict, Banana Iced Matcha, and the Cali Sandwich. The food arrived quickly and tasted pretty good, but overall it didn't feel worth the price. My favorite has to be the Kalbi Jjim Eggs! The meat and flavor were perfect. The soufflé was very eggy but I love egg so I had no problem with it. Service was inconsistent, almost nonexistent--we had to ask three different staff members before finally receiving an extra plate as well as water. Some of the workers seemed to have attitudes as well. I believe the owner was walking back and forth, same one that replied to all these reviews so if you see this, I hope you can be more proactive to these criticisms as you see these things happening. We left an initial tip upon ordering and usually leave the rest after in cash, but we didn't tip any more after this experience. I may give this place one more try to explore a few more menu items, but if the service and organization don't improve, I won't be returning a third time. read more

Had a delicious Sunday brunch at this new spot in Fullerton. Loved the Asian twist on breakfast classics. We tried the matcha soufflé pancakes (a taste of Japan!), galbi jjim eggs Benedict, the smoked brisket breakfast burrito and the meatloaf hash -- all were flavorful but the burrito was our fave. The restaurant space was beautiful, too. Great addition to the area. read more

Kitch Cafe - Matcha souffle with a bite taken out of it... - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fullerton, California

I came here for brunch with a friend and the staff are super sweet. However, the food missed the mark for me. I got the strawberry matcha and the veggie avocado omelette. The omelette was sadly super soggy and wet which was very unappetizing. The strawberry matcha was okay, nothing special. I think it's clear this place specializes more in their sweet breakfast items (especially the souffle pancakes) so I think I willl go for those if I ever go here again, The location itself is in an awesome plaza with a ton of other stores and plenty of parking. Makes for a great spot to meet up with friends to catch up! read more
