What a fantastic surprise! First timers...saw it Instagram. We ordered the caramel churro stuffed French toast. After the first bite...it was all over. My new favorite local spot. We also had the crunchy asada chiliquiles. The asada was super tender and flavorful. Just the right amount of sauce. Simply delicious. Now for the service...A++++. Abby was fantastic. Knowledgeable about the menu and always kept our glasses full. We had to wait about 20 minutes for a table on Saturday midday, but....worth the wait..100%! read more

5-month update! This has become our go-to for breakfast whenever we get the chance. Unfortunately, it's also the go-to place for breakfast for many other people. If you go on weekends, you want to get there before 9 am, at the latest 9:30. By 10 am, the wait can be 30 minutes. In fact, we skipped going here because we could see the wait would be longer than we wanted. The only issue they have is that the place is too small! I've only been to their Placentia location, which is much bigger, but I'm going to assume this is the smallest. Last time we had breakfast here, a group of 8 was ahead of us, and a group of 13 was behind us! If you don't want to wait as long, you might consider the few outside tables. What impresses us every visit is how friendly and positive the staff is. Regardless of how crazy it gets, they are always smiling and appear happy to help wherever they can. The only downside right now is that the kitchen doesn't seem to keep up. The food is great, but it's rarely all come out at the same time, and I've had to ask about a late item that appears to have been forgotten. Again, the servers shine when we remind them. They apologize and usually get right on the kitchen staff. read more

Loaded Cafe - Orange - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orange, California

Loaded Cafe was fine, but not especially memorable. Plenty of parking, clean space, fun decor, and the attached bakery is a nice touch. Stephany was good, and we came in about an hour before closing when we were the only ones there. We tried the trio iced coffee, asada crunchy chilaquiles, and the stuffed French toast combo with country potatoes and sausage. Nothing was bad, but nothing really wowed me either. With so many strong breakfast spots out there, this just wouldn't be my first pick to return to. read more

My friend drove about 1 hour and 40 minutes to try this place with me. We went specifically for the large concha and coffee. The server mentioned the coffee is meant for around seven people and gave us a look since we were only three. After we ordered, the server returned about 5-7 minutes later to tell us they didn't have the big concha, and that it would take a while because they still needed to bake it. It was really disappointing since this was the main reason we came. I guess next time we'll have to call ahead. For reference, we visited on a Saturday around 12 p.m. One thing we did love is that they bring warm conchas to the table as soon as you sit down, such a nice touch. Unfortunately, the food itself was disappointing. I ordered the quesabirria tacos, which come as a set of three. I liked the crispy cheese on the outside, but the meat wasn't great, and the consomé was really bad. It tasted more like the tomato sauce they use on their regular tacos, not birria. We also tried the potato crispy tacos, and they were just average. The aguas frescas were good, tamarindo was the best. Overall, the experience wasn't great and definitely not worth the hype. I might return to try the the sweet options like the Nutella concha, but I'll skip the Mexican dishes. The conchas were good, and I even took some home since the bakery is right next door. read more

Came in for a late breakfast early lunch meeting and was impressed with the service. We had such great service! The 2 tacos were put into stale shells which were hard too chew. The eggs were good and the pancakes were cake like. They are also connected to the Panecita business next door .The coffee was hot and ready and the place got packed quickly. Happy to have them here In Orange. We were too stuffed to try the breads and sweets next door but the cakes looked amazing! read more

I love finding new brunch spots in Orange :) especially since brunch is my favorite! Loaded Cafe in Orange did not disappoint. Their menu is so extensive, it was hard to choose what to order! I went with the chicken guacamole stacker with fruit on the side. I liked that I was able to substitute fruit for the hash browns. The stacker was incredible! I hadn't tried eggs with beans on top before, but it actually went really well with it. The beans were so flavorful and cooked well. The guacamole, chicken, pico de gallo, and cotija cheese on top went perfectly together. For my drink, I decided to try out the iced coffee trio, with horchata, chocolate, and coconut flavored coffee. My favorite out of the trio was the horchata. The coffees were good, although I feel that they were a bit bitter and could use a little more sweetness or possibly flavored cream inside. Their service was great and the restaurant is very clean. It looks like there's a panaderia right next door as well; I wasn't sure if it was part of the restaurant. They have a good amount of seating and I liked the comfy booths. I went on a Saturday, and my server did mention that they hadn't updated their hours and that they actually close at 3. I would love to return and try their Super Stacker (I love mushrooms), pancakes, waffles, and conchas. I would also enjoy trying their aguas frescas trio. Overall, I had a lovely time here. :) read more

I saw all the good reviews and decided to come in. First off, this place is super clean including the restroom. The menu is huge. Their food will make any tummy happy. I had the County breakfast which is two eggs, four sausage links, and two biscuits with gravy. To start off they give you a cinnamon pastry which was tasty. The County breakfast was very good and filling. Service was great. There's plenty of parking. This is a great breakfast place. read more

Small inside and few tables outside. It took an hour from the time we checked in to be sat and get food. They didn't seem too busy but things still took a while. I got the horchata iced latte and it was lacking flavor. The brioche strawberry banana French toast was very sweet so just be mindful if you don't like super sweet things. The Hashbrowns were probably our favorite part of the meal. It was an ok experience. read more

I came here thinking it was a work and study cafe so I brought a load of books and my laptop, ready to work. Once I stepped inside, I realized it was more of a restaurant. Since I was already there, I asked to be seated near an outlet and the friendly waitress was able to accommodate. I ended up ordering the crispy potato tacos with spicy red sauce and their flight of coffee trio. The concha was on the house and it was delicious. The potato tacos were good, it came in 3 but I was only able to finish 2. I was not impressed with coffee though. It came in caramel, hotchata, and chocolate. The caramel was my favorite, the horchata did not have a strong taste of coffee or horchata, and the chocolate one was forgettable. I left that flight of coffee almost full. After eating, I stayed for about 2 hours to get some work done. Around 4pm, I was told they were closing, which I wasn't aware that they close so early. No biggie. All in all, the place has friendly workers and dining area is clean. I love that there is child hanging out in the kitchen learning, but someone needs to keep an eye on him more so that all compliance is followed. read more

I recently dined here, and my experience was quite disappointing. The food was served cold, with the only warm item being the torta. Unfortunately, it didn't even come with cheese or onions as advertised. I also ordered a hot latte, but it arrived cold. To make matters worse, the service was incredibly slow, and we were only given one napkin for our table of three. Overall, this visit left a lot to be desired, and I won't be returning. For the price not worth a dime! read more

I absolutely love this place! They're a bit different where they actually serve you pan dulce for starters. They're very small and cute little bite sized pieces. I've ordered the dulce de leche French toast, and their churro French toast. Both were very tasty! Their crepes are great as well! Additionally, their service is always spectacular! From the hosts to the servers! This place definitely gained a new regular :) read more

Sugey was my server today at Loaded Cafe! She made my experience great! Service with a smile. The food and atmosphere is fantastic! Thank you read more

On the last day of 2025, I stopped by the restaurant around lunchtime. The weather was drizzly that day. Even though I didn't have a reservation, the service was very fast and attentive. The waitress, who had a hairstyle similar to Ariana Grande, was very cute and friendly. The staff team deserves a 10/10. The crab garlic noodles and chicken wings had a Vietnamese-style flavor, which I really enjoyed. I would just like to give one small suggestion: the filet mignon was a bit salty. Anyway, it was a wonderful experience at NEP CAFE. read more

Heard this spot was great. Came after church and honestly super disappointed. Everyone was friendly though and very attentive. We got the asada chilaquiles, I am not a fan of egg so they let me substitute it for Mexican rice, ordered dulce de leche latte and we got our free mini concha's super cute very firm and just okay. Once the order came out it was cold and my husband got cold meat and I got the eggs ... terrible. They were very nice though and immediately replaced both orders at this point , I told my husband to let's just go to our new spot and he insisted we stay. We both wish we would have left the food is not seasoned and very plain. It was very busy lots of families coming in non stop unfortunately this place is over hyped. We will not be returning. The atmosphere was okay, lots of color and chatter... felt fast food-ish. Giving it 3 stars since they were friendly. read more

The place is clean and comfortable, but the food was terrible. The menu pictures are straight-up misleading -- the steak chilaquiles looked packed with meat in the photo, but my plate came with barely half of that, and the meat was cold. The sauce was sweet, not spicy at all, which made the whole dish taste wrong. If you're looking for real Mexican food, this is definitely not the spot. read more

First time trying this place and the staff was very friendly and I got seated within 10 minutes. I ordered the aguas frescas trio, Dulce de Leche stuffed French toast and the crunchy asada chilaquiles to ty it out. They also give you complimentary bread. 10/10 My favorite was the Dulce de Leche Stuffed French toast 10/10! The green chilaquiles were not that good, as the tortillas had a weird oil aftertaste, like if the oil was old and maybe used for other things. The sauce was like a mild can salsa, but the meat was good. The aguas frescas trio was Ok. The strawberry hibiscus had somewhat of a sour taste and the horchata was a bit watered down for my liking. Maybe I got an old batch but the tamarindo stood out for sure. Total was about $53. Overall, if you want something sweet this is a great place! As a Mexican that loves and tries chilaquiles from different places, these ain't it. read more

It was a place we did really enjoy since it was close to home, Loaded Cafe Orange location. Unfortunately it has gone downhill. What was once a solid spot has become disappointing on multiple levels. The service has hit an all-time low, including management. Staff seem disengaged, and the overall experience and food order is careless compared to before. Order to go, constantly missing something if not condiments the the food order was wrong. There are plenty of other eateries right in the same plaza, so it's getting harder to justify coming here when the quality and service have dropped this much. If the owners don't turn things around soon, this location is headed for a downward spiral. The online ordering system is especially frustrating and feels disingenuous. They advertise a 20% discount, but then force you to add extra items you don't want or need. It's a lame tactic that corners customers. Why not just be transparent? Most people would be much more receptive if the business was upfront instead of playing these kinds of games. I really hope they improve soon, until we see ongoing better review. There no coming back to the orange location for us. read more

Unfortunately not a great experience today. Been here for lunch before and breakfast today. Let me start with the good: the food is pretty good and the kitchen staff are efficient. The not so good: service staff need to be retrained. They are woefully inefficient for a restaurant that is focused on breakfast & lunch. We arrived around 8:20 am (prime breakfast hour), party of 3. Took almost 25 min to get seated despite one open 4-seater outside, 1 open 6-seater inside, 1 open 4-seater inside and 1 4-seater that just needed to be bussed. Wait staff would pass by us and three other parties waiting to be seated at least 5 times instead of seating the tables and letting everyone look through the menus and figure out what to order. (Seemed like a number of staff didn't start their shifts until 9am too.) After finally getting seated they then proceeded to take orders from a table seated after us despite being ready and waiting. Once we ordered, food came fairly quickly, but it took a while to get an iced coffee trio flight my wife ordered. read more

Seen this place on TikTok and it looked great so I thought I should give it a try. Went on a Monday morning for breakfast. Ordered the horchata iced coffee and chorizo and eggs. The iced coffee was so so. When my dish came out it looked like the chorizo and eggs were very overcooked and dry. Kind of seemed like these were old that they just reheated. My guest ordered their steak chilaquiles with no egg. Hers looked overcooked and reheated too. Plus there was egg when she ordered no egg. Not great at all. Very disappointing. read more

Absolutely love this place -- 5 stars all the way! Loaded Cafe's menu is huge and seriously impressive: classic American brunch plates, Mexican-inspired breakfasts, pancakes, crepes, stackers and plenty of veggie options -- something for everyone. The vibe is casual and family friendly, and everything we ordered tasted fresh and well-prepared. Bonus: they bring out complimentary conchitas -- warm, soft, and perfect with coffee -- such a delightful touch that sets them apart from other cafes. And shoutout to our waitress Mariana: attentive, friendly, and genuinely eager to make sure we had a great meal. Service like hers makes the whole visit feel special. If you want a brunch spot with massive menu choices, comforting pastries, and standout hospitality, put Loaded Cafe on your list. read more

Second time here. Christina was very friendly, helpful, and very attentive. Food portions are smaller than other places but filling. 3 stars because manager couldn't explain why taxes on my receipt were $4.99(10.50%). My total was $47.56 and if im not wrong sales tax should have been $3.68(7.75% orange sales tax). Manager left to the back to check but insisted that sales taxes are different in different cities. I told her I was aware and that Orange sales tax is 7.75% but receipt showed a different number...she left to the back anyway. Christina was apologetic. Paid what my receipt total showed; $52.55 plus tip. I wasn't trying to argue, I just wanted clarification. read more

Well where to start we went here to celebrate me and my sisters birthday with our family we've been meaning to come try this out since we've been seeing it everywhere .. the service was good enjoyed our servers were super friendly and kept checking in on us to see how we were doing and if we needed anything . We got served one concha cut into 4 and we were a table of 7 .. When we all ordered our meal , let me say it was not what we expected to be and look like . The loaded fries was very disappointing the chilaquiles we ordered was neither spicy and did not look like how it was suppose to look like . Both chilaquiles we ordered was super salty mazapan latte did not taste like it super bland no flavor. the only best part of the cafe was the panecito we got for our children. read more

Good atmosphere, great service Sugey and the manager lili are so nice and attentive. the food is excellent fresh to order, You won't find better chilaquiles anywhere else I've been to so many other places that serve chilaquiles but no one compares to this place!

Came here on a breakfast whim as a pick me up from a bad night before. The wait was 20-30 minutes but was well worth it. Definitely will be coming again. Service was great, was offered a complimentary sweet roll. I had ordered marzipan crepes, and a horchata iced latte. I cannot believe how good the food was. Soft, airy, sweet, absolutely delectable. The iced latte came in a glass mug with lots of foam, delicious and very appealing to the eye. I was sat outside so I didn't get the full experience unfortunately.

First timer at this location, checked in and host said it would be a 20-25 minute wait. Over 30 minutes later we saw several tables available so we asked how much longer it would be, we were told it would be an additional 15 minutes.The host seemed dismissive and careless to the fact we had already been waiting for some time. Overall wait was approximately an hour. We left at this point. Host should have been more honest and reasonable with actual wait time. Needless to say, if considering this cafe expect to wait much longer than what you're told. read more
