I visited Chai Wale in Orange yesterday for the first time with my wife and unfortunately, our…read moreexperience was disappointing. We ordered one gobhi paratha and one aloo paratha. The aloo paratha was okay, but the gobhi paratha was poorly prepared--the gobhi filling was falling out of the paratha with every bite, making it very difficult and messy to eat. After our meal, we wanted to wash our hands. Since we had just eaten inside the restaurant, we were surprised when a Male employee at the front desk told us that we had to use the hand-washing facilities outside because the restaurant restroom are closed as there are outdoor restrooms for the international festivals. What made the situation more disappointing was that shortly afterward, a woman customer came in and was allowed to use the restroom inside without being directed outside. Seeing different instructions being given to different customers made us feel that the rules were not being applied consistently. Additionally, my wife ordered a cookie that was extremely dry and tough. Overall, this was not a good first experience. The food was average at best, and the inconsistent treatment at the front desk left a particularly bad impression. I believe every customer should be treated equally and given the same information and access, regardless of who they are.

I'd been wanting to try Chaiwale for quite some time and finally got around to it on a Saturday…read moreafternoon. The place was quite busy but we were able to get a nice table with benches for our party of 4. I grew up drinking authentic indian chai so my expectations were high- I was drawn to try this place for the fun of drinking the chai from the clay cups I'd seen on social media :) That said, I was not disappointed by the chai, the food, or the decor. We ordered the butter chicken wrap, the chili chicken wrap and an aloo parantha. We wanted to try the tandoori chicken wrap, but they were sold out that day. We really enjoyed everything except the chili chicken wrap- we didn't find it very flavorful and wouldn't order it again. The wraps come with a yogurt-based cilantro sauce but I found it to be too liquidy to properly dip the wrap and the plate it comes in makes it very awkward as well. The aloo paratha was really good- not overly seasoned but it had a very authentic flavor and came with traditional indian pickle condiment on the side. The decor is very authentic but not overwhelming and the place had a nice vibe to it. The staff were friendly and helpful when we were deciding what to order. We are looking forward to going back again and trying more of the items!

I love their Halloween menu! Not to mention their decorations inside the coffee shop!…read more They have a HUGE variety of Halloween themed pastries, cookies, cakes, cake pops, muffins, and scones! Not many coffee shops have this many themed baked goods in their shop, so I could tell this place was special. Their ghost-shaped pastries and pumpkin shaped past tastier made me feel like I was transported to Hogwarts for a moment, I ordered 2 pastries! I got just a normal Apple turnover which was good, but the real winner was the Pumpkin Scone. When I say that this was the BEST pumpkin scone I've ever had, I mean it. The pumpkin & cinnamon spices come through beautifully and I paired it with one of their featured drinks : Graveyard Smash with almond milk. The Graveyard Smash was good and I knew it would be on the sweeter side, but it wasn't overly sweet at all! I also forced myself to not drink it so fast, because it was so tasty. The main flavors are hazelnut, chai, & chocolate, which was an interesting mix I haven't seen at many coffee shops. I really need to come back to Rekindle soon and try more of their Halloween menu before it goes away!

We came here around 6:40am this morning and we're graced by all the fabulous Halloween decor! The…read morepastries also are Halloween theme, which was pleasant to see. This review is mostly about the quality of our drinks. I ordered an iced dark roast and my boyfriend ordered an iced medium roast. I told the employee my name is Juna, and spelled it out twice. She put my name down as "Gina". Sad. The iced coffees were the most diluted coffees we have ever had in awhile. One look at it and I knew it was watered down. I took one sip and really did not taste anything except...water. It was a sad experience. Maybe I'll come back, maybe not. I usually would come back based on the quality of their roast

I cannot recommend this place enough! I recently hosted my daughter's birthday party here, and the…read moreentire experience was phenomenal. What stood out the most was the exceptional customer service from the owners, Mike and Mercedes. Their origin story really resonated with me--Mike started this business out of a true passion for art and community, and that dedication completely shines through in how they treat their guests. From the moment we first reached out to inquire all the way through the planning process, Mike was incredibly accommodating and responsive. The venue itself is awesome. It's a really cool, beautifully decorated space that instantly makes you feel creative. They offer a wide selection of projects to choose from, and the team gives you fantastic attention and guidance throughout the entire event. We had a wonderful experience and I am already planning to come back to host future events here. If you are looking for a great venue and unique experience with amazing owners, this is it!

We got our coffee and food in less than 6 minutes, which was impressive.

Vanilla Cold Brew - Also banging! Classic Breakfast Burrito - Banging! Blueberry Muffin - Really good. Ham & Cheese Quiche - Really good. Vegan Donut - Honestly, even this was fire! Overall, really enjoyed the spot. Good coffee, good food, reasonable prices, and ridiculously fast service. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

It was strong but not bitter, creamy, flavorful, and had just the right amount of sweetness. They also have other drink options like matchas and smoothies, which I'll have try next time. Ordering at the kiosk was really easy and you're able to customize your order too. The place is very clean and there are a few tables where you can sit inside. What I noticed right away was how friendly and welcoming their staff is. One of the ladies behind the counter was so sweet and greeted me with a smile. I'm definitely going back next time I'm at Main Place.

I got an iced coffee for the next morning and a jasmine tea for that evening -- both were exquisite. The tea was refreshing and the coffee is so flavorful, strong without being bitter and lots of delicious notes. The guy working behind the counter was so kind too -- appreciate his thoughtfulness once he found out I would drink it next morning, he held on putting ice in so it would stay concentrated til the next day. I need to go back and buy a pound or two of coffee -- or maybe they can open one closer to me in LA too :)

This was our first time here, but our friends have been many times and highly recommend several of the pastas on the menu. My husband and I ordered the penne arrabbiata and Margherita pizza.

You could probably get about four glasses out of one pitcher. Overall, a wonderful dining experience. We would definitely come back! Parking could be a pain but we got lucky with a spot down the block.

I sent a message to restaurant but they did not respond, so I'll try here…read more My friend wanted me to try centro, she likes the sausage pasta, so we went Friday 9/11/26. From my experience not a fan and have reason to return. She wanted bruschetta and when it arrived looking like an after thought I was worried. The dish had no flavor or balance, either tasted of raw garlic, balsamic vinegar or basil, no beautiful complimenting (and its the end of tomato season). The bread served with was ok, nice grill char and chewy texture. She ordered sausage pasta and I tried calzone. When plates arrived I wasn't sure server got orders correct. The plate set in front of me did not resemble a calzone at all, but a plain flatbread with nothing on top. I opened the flap to see a meager amount of ricotta and salumi inside, no mozzerella or parmesan to speak of. I tried a corner and it tasted like the bruschetta bread, there was no filling. When server came by I asked if it looked like a calzone and he said yes. I then opened the flap and asked again, stating calzones are filled and dough is pulled over crimped shut and baked. He asked if I wanted to have another one made and I asked if it would come out the same way. Then said no I don't want the same flat bread. I then tasted the "red sauce" on side. It tasted of warmed up plain tomato sauce/puree and nothing more. I asked server, when he returned and asked again if I wanted another calzone, what is in the "red sauce"? He stated, "onions, basil and oil." Funny, I tasted none of that. He took the plate away. I tasted the pasta, smelling first as I do, it had a faint smell of carbon. When I tasted it definitely tasted of charcoal and bland creamy tomato sauce. Carbon builds up when flames burn off fat in pan and leave a residue, that is what was tasted. The hostess was friendly, but did not engage while leading us to table and then set filthy, dirty menus down on top of B&B plates to cross-contaminate. Server either did not mention issue to manager, or manager did not care to touch table. I saw what looked like a manager, in a blue striped shirt with sleeves rolled up, come out to patio and back inside multiple times speaking to staff. Server took 50% off calzone, but should have been completely removed as it was horrible and not eaten. For price points the food and overall service is lacking greatly. There were multiple opportunities to not only impress but the turn a negative into a postive, none of it was accomplished. I am very curious about the amount of 4/5 star reviews, as that was not my experience at all. From the overall lack of flavor in food to mediocre service, and lack of response from management of my initial inquiry; I have no reason to ever return. I will also share my experience with others who inquire about centro. Really sad that was the experience with the prices being charged. I shared my feedback to let them know of the opportunities all around and would have been nice to receive more than a one sentence response from enrico pozzuoli (Joshua, Thanks for your detailed feedback. Sorry you had such a bad experience. Regards, Centro Orange) What a joke!!
