    Food here is fantastic! I had this place Yelp bookmarked for a while now and I'm glad I made it because everything was delicious. Hot white Chocolate Mocha's are superb, crispy hash browns, juicy chicken fried steak, super flavorful gravy, and eggs cooked to perfection. Inside was a little loud so we sat in the patio area which was secluded and quiet, and our service was excellent! Very attentive and polite this place is definitely a must visit.

    Tucked on a corner across from Gahr High School, this small café is easy to miss, but don't! The place is packed with families, groups, and solo diners. I had the avocado toast with poached eggs & bacon (pro tip: drizzle the side salsa on top to have your mind blown ) and a giant latte I couldn't finish but was offered a to-go cup, which saved the day. Fast-paced and bustling, not the place to linger, but the food and coffee are worth every bite. Definitely coming back!

    Coffee butter latte

    I visit Cerritos often since this is where I grew up, leaving when I bought a home in Orange County. Today my husband and I came with my Mom for breakfast. I came here regularly in the 90's and possibly in the late 80's with my parents when I was in high school. I remember getting a traditional breakfast and the menu offers the same reliable delicious food, and our family loved when we went before the pandemic.. today we enjoyed sitting in the patio, as it's close to the entrance and my Mom has mobility issues. The dining room at 8 AM was packed and I think we got choice of inside or patio table, before it was completely full house. The staff was really communicative and friendly including the hostess, buser, and our server. The buser confirmed the favorites and I decided to get the Alfredo skillet. Many of the items are named after those chefs that prepare the meals, and not necessarily what would come to mind for example, the Alfredo skillet is named after chef Alfredo and doesn't have Alfredo sauce or chicken. My husband got the chicken fried steak. My mom got the California omelette. All of our sides, and all of our meals were really good. My husband and I both got specialty coffee drinks. I decided to get the coffee butter latte, which is a special for the month and it was OK. I wouldn't get that again, but it wasn't bad tasting and was visually appealing, just was not for me. There is lots to offer here, and overall wonderful meal. Just like I always remember. Way to go Off Street Cafe, making good food for 40 years.

    My friend has been raving about this place for quite some time but also the reviews are great. Finally decided to give it a try. This place fills up quick so the wait can be a bit long. We waited for 40 minutes which wasn't too bad. They have indoor seating and an outdoor seating area as well. During the rain they have a patio cover as well. Our waiter was nice but I wish she was more personable. No smile and monotone. I did ask for a recommendation or if she thinks the ribeye steak & eggs would be better than their scrambles and omelettes . She stated " well one is just meat." She isn't wrong but I wish she was better at making a recommendation. I did end up order a ribeye steak with eggs, sausages, and coffee. I ordered for the ribeye to be medium and it was well done. The homemade salsa they seem to rave about was extremely watery and it did not taste good. Their food needs a lot of extra seasoning in my opinion.

    Off Street Cafe is very off street. The cafe is tucked away in a sea of commercial buildings. Inside, the space is surprisingly large and bright. We stuck to the breakfast menu and ordered the following: -California omelette ($15.50): bacon, ortega chili, jack cheese topped with avocado + sour cream -the house skillet ($15.50): homestyle potatoes, bell peppers, bell peppers + onions, choice of protein, jack cheese Honestly, I loved every last bit of my California omelette. It was tucked and folded like someone's mom made it giving it homey vibes. The bacon was chunky and salty and perfect in omelette form. And the hash browns? Ten. Perfectly crispy on the outside with a nice buttery middle. My favorite thing I ate was probably the English muffin. It tastes homemade or in-house. Whatever the case, delish. Make it to Off Street Cafe before they close at 2.

    Camera did not eat first :(

    parking kinda suuuuxxxxx but the food is worth the wait! The banana gluten free waffle was so yummy, everything we had was pretty good the county potatoes were a little mushy for my liking so be sure to ask for crispier if that's your vibe too :) lavender latte was pretty good they also offer oat milk if you need an alternative! the smores latte was so cute it came with a marshmallow and chocolate on top! A little too sweet for me but my fam loved!

    Off Street Cafe is a local diner with great breakfast options. Wife went with chicken fried steak and I went with their spicy "Melecio", which was an omelet that blanketed carne asada, serranos, onions, cilantro, and cheese. It came with a ton of seasoned potatoes. I upgraded my bread for pancakes for only $3. The meal came with a nice house made salsa. I also appreciate that they've upgraded the decor and interior since I last visited. Overall, it's a solid breakfast spot and I'm glad that I was able to get flavors and spice with my diner-style omelet. The upgrade to pancake was a no-brainer for $3. Great local breakfast option!

    Coffee Flight
    Rachel L.

    First time visiting this past weekend and my family and I had a great experience! They have a great amount of options on their menu. We were seated pretty fast but it does look like they tend do have a full restaurant. Overall the vibe was amazing, we will definitely be returning! I had the chance to try a coffee flight and steak & eggs, everything was tasty although in the caramel coffee it had a bit too much sugar for my liking but it wasn't too bad.

    This is a cute little brunch place in the area with plenty of parking. They have breakfast all day, very similar to a diner with many choices from scrambles, omelettes to classic breakfasts. I tried the Artesia scramble and it was really good along with hash browns with toast. The service was fast and attentive. I will definitely come again if I'm in the area looking for a quick breakfast grab.

    Steak and eggs
    Yijia L.

    Lovely neighborhood brunch, nice staffs and lots of parking spots. I ordered the steak and eggs with an Americano. My expectation of the steak was it would be just mediocre one level steak. But I was wrong. The steak was nicely done and delicious. However, I came to find watermelon in the fruit cup is the only acceptable fruit, I will not recommend. Side note, when you dine alone, go sit at the bar. I was seated at this small table next to the staff exits and facing the emergency exit door, felt like I was put in a timeout.

    California Burrito
    Stella M.

    Overall a pretty great place to grab breakfast. The place was pretty crowded and busy on a Friday morning. We expected it to be empty but was surprised that the restaurant was pretty much full & busy. The food was pretty good. We got the California breakfast burrito and the Alfredo skillet. Both great breakfast dishes. I also got their lavender latte and was happy with the quality of the coffee. Only real con was how busy it was. Everyone was moving about and it was loud. It was also hard to get hold of our server. I ordered the eggs on the Alfredo as scrambled but it came out over easy. I tried to flag down our server to fix the mistake but I could not flag her down so we just ate it. I didn't mind over easy eggs too much so it was ok but it wasn't what I ordered. We sat at one of tables next to the counter and by the kitchen. That probably didn't help with how busy it seemed and the noise. Next time I will wait for a booth. The 4.5 stars and the 3.9k number of reviews is justified. I will be back!

    House potatoes, mixed fruit, pancakes and French toast
    Alisha C.

    The inside is pretty tight inside like a Denny's or IHOP equivalent. We were sat pretty quickly even though it was packed and we were told it would be a 20 min wait it was about a 5 min wait so that was nice. The house potatoes were really the star of the show. It was very flavorful and perfectly cooked. Everything else was just okay. Most of it tasted like a standard IHOP breakfast. Nothing was bad but the quality was equivalent to a regular diner. The French toast had a thick egg layer on top which I wasn't expecting almost like an omelette overlaying the bread and I prefer less of that egg flavoring on the French toast and more of a soft bready/buttery flavor. But that's just my preference.

    We came at the perfect time before 10am on Black Friday. We were seated immediately and service was quick and wonderful. The food was average. We had the chicken and waffle, machaca burrito and breakfast croissant sandwich. The flavor of each dish wasn't too bold, which made it kinda of boring, Overall it was good time. By the time we left, there were about 10+ parties waiting to be seated

    If I were to show up on a Saturday at 10 how long would the wait roughly be? Would I need to be showing up earlier if I'd like to be seated at a specific time?

    They get busy. Probably 30 to 40 min

    Do you take reservations? If not can you give me an estimated wait time for a party of nine on a Saturday around 9:30 pm? Just an average wait time for this size party. Thanks.

    I believe they don't do reservations. They would have a waiting list. I've gone on a Saturday around noonish and waited an hour to be seated. It gets very busy on weekends but I'd say it's worth the wait.

    Slim to none..., if you just show up unannounced. I'd recommend calling ahead to see if they can reserve a table(s), which they do from time to time.

    Are they done with the Yelp waiting list? I noticed it hasn't been available for a few weeks, and that was the #1 reason we would make it out there for breakfast 😔 since we're not locals.

My friend got there early to put our name on the list. The restaurant appeared empty as there were lots of open seats/tables but it took us 40 minutes to get seated. The hosts were apologetic and we chalked it up to the fact that they were potentially understaffed. But it was definitely a bit frustrating to wait 40 minutes From there, the experience was pretty seamless. The service was generally good! My husband and I ordered Brussels sprouts, truffle fries, and a Bacon Jalapeno Jam Burger. Food was pretty standard! Good but nothing to write home about. The burger patty was cooked well, but the bun was a bit dry/stale. Brussels sprouts were good and the truffle fries were probably the tastiest thing we had. Overall, a mid experience!

One visit we waited over 40 minutes without being acknowledged, another time our order came out wrong, and another time the food arrived cold like it had been sitting for quite a while. Because of that, I honestly did not want to come back tonight. But I was craving a good steak, and after my husband suggested giving 908 another try, I reluctantly agreed. I noticed the filet mignon on the menu paired with broccolini and decided to go for it. From the moment we walked in, the experience felt completely different. The hostess was warm and welcoming and seated us immediately. A young man came over right away with waters and took our drink order, which already surprised us in the best way. Then Alex S came to our table, and he truly made the night exceptional. He was friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful in making sure my order was exactly how I wanted it. I mentioned that I didn't want a large piece of butter melting over the steak, and he happily accommodated that request. He even checked on the exact ounce size of the filet for me, which I appreciated. We ordered the Brussels sprouts appetizer, and honestly, they were the best Brussels sprouts we've ever had. Perfectly cooked, not drowning in sauce, and absolutely packed with flavor. My 8 oz filet mignon was cooked perfectly medium rare, exactly as ordered. The broccolini was crisp, fresh, and not overly oily. Everything tasted thoughtful, balanced, and worth every dollar. Most importantly, Alex S delivered spectacular service from start to finish. We were genuinely shocked to learn this was his first night shift because he handled the dining room with professionalism, warmth, and confidence far beyond what we expected. Thank you, Alex S, for completely changing our impression of 908. Tonight's experience was excellent, and for the first time, we are actually excited to come back. Thanks again, Jed Dornoff

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with bright natural light pouring through the windows, a lively yet welcoming vibe, and a layout that works for everyone--whether you're in a big group, a small party, or grabbing a seat at the central bar. Every detail makes the space feel inviting. And then there's the food... Chilaquiles - Incredibly satisfying and generously portioned. The flavors were exactly what you'd hope for, and the crispy potatoes blended perfectly with the chilaquiles. If you're a fan of this dish, this is a must-order. **Biscuit Skillet** - My personal favorite. Easily big enough to share, though you might not want to. The biscuits were next-level--fluffy, rich, and comforting, with the perfect balance of crispy edges and soft, moist centers. Topped with hearty gravy, bacon, cheese, and eggs, they absolutely did not hold back. Every bite felt indulgent in the best way. Cinnamon Roll Pancake - A standout, especially if you're not big on overly sweet dishes. It has the essence of a cinnamon roll without being overpowering--light, fluffy, and perfectly balanced. The topping (a cinnamon crumb-style finish) and sauce added just enough sweetness that syrup wasn't even necessary. Buffalo Flatbread - A pleasant surprise. The flatbread itself was thin and nicely crisp, just as it should be. Loaded with cheese (fair warning: it's generous), and topped with tender, juicy buffalo chicken, it brought great flavor and texture to the table. **Mac & Cheese** - This one exceeded expectations. Creamy, rich, and perfectly cooked, it was a hit with everyone--especially the kids. Don't be fooled by the portion size; it easily fed four people with leftovers to spare. Definitely one of the highlights. Kids Pancake- Always a good test: a picky eater approved. My child cleaned the plate and even asked for more mac & cheese afterward--that says everything. Avocado Toast- Simple but done exceptionally well. The toast was massive, topped with fresh, flavorful avocado, veggies, and a perfectly cooked egg. Every bite felt fresh and balanced. Overall- Absolutely worth the visit. We had about an hour wait for a party of five, so arriving early is a good idea--but even with the wait, it was completely worth it. The food came out together, everything was consistently delicious, and it's definitely a place I'd come back to--especially for that mac & cheese.

Coffee was very good, but I wish someone would walk around constantly refilling cups. Overall, a decent spot with some room for improvement.

    I must've been living under a rock -- this was my first time at The Stand, and I was seriously…read moresurprised at how good it was. I ordered the curry chicken sandwich and wow... it was packed with layers of flavor! A perfectly spicy kick, a big juicy chicken breast, crispy fried onions, basil for and added layer, and the most delicious curry sauce. So good. I can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu. The guy at the counter was super friendly and helpful. I was a little hesitant about the spice level, but he reassured me I'd like it -- and he was absolutely right. Plenty of seating both inside and outside, with a relaxed, casual dining vibe. Definitely looking forward to my next visit!

    For the third consecutive year, I've been put into a position where I've had to organize a catered…read morelunch for a group of 10 to 20 people at work. Not wanting to choose one of the two eateries I chose each of the past two years, I went with The Stand to see if I can give them the 4th star that I've been trying to give them for the past year or two. The final verdict? No, unfortunately. This year, I was in a rather unique situation where I also had the option to double my party size, and The Stand had catering packages that would feed both party sizes: The Feast for 10 to 20 people, and The Big Feast for 20 to 40 people. But don't think The Big Feast is twice the size of The Feast; rather, the only difference is an additional platter of 20 half sandwiches/wraps. Otherwise, both will have a platter of 20 half sandwiches/wraps, a large gourmet salad, a large side, and a cookie/brownie platter. After much deliberation, I went with The Feast with Meyer Lemon Broccolini and a Sidekick of Chinese Chicken Chop Salad with Chips & Guac. I chose all this to avoid the need for flameless heating kits since I wasn't sure how they'd work. I was drafting an email to the catering team to add some supplementary instructions I overlooked initially, but after the FIRST15 to 20 minutes following submission of my order, Sydney from the Catering team gave me a call to ask for clarification on some details based on my email communication. Really appreciate how punctual she was at this, and she was happy enough to send out an updated invoice. However, I learned from Sydney that the Meyer Lemon Broccolini would need a flameless heating kit even though the catering website did not mention that. In fact, during my email communication prior to placing my order, I pointed out that the Meyer Lemon Broccolini and Red Ginger Green Beans weren't listed as vegetarian despite being vegetables, and they confirmed they were indeed vegetarian, but not vegan. I noticed these oversights were immediately addressed after I brought them to their attention. However, their website still indicates their cookies are vegan when they are not; I'm not going to bother with another email at this point lol. I had given them two weeks' notice for my order, knowing that the catering team can change it on their end. I didn't want just one flameless heating kit, so I decided to switch out the Chips & Guac for the Mac & Cheese, which is about $13 more. I arrived about 10 minutes before my scheduled pickup time, and I saw my catering order out in the open on a table where any customer could just grab it and go. Luckily, there were only a few customers inside, and when I stopped by my order, Kim came out to greet me. We recognized each other even 8 to 9 months after those technical difficulties spelled out in my last review update. I asked her to review my order with me before leaving, but when she said "Chips & Guac", the abstract record in my mind came to a screeching halt. I asked to see the invoice, and it was the older version from before I made the switch. I later found out they had printed my invoice too early even though their catering team said I could decide as late as the day before. Luckily, Kim checked the kitchen and needed only about 5 more minutes for the side of mac & cheese to be ready. She also let me keep the chips & guac even though she initially said she could swap it out, so that was nice at least. I also appreciate how they waited until my arrival to make a custom grilled cheese sandwich for my vegetarian guest, who enjoyed said sandwich. I also asked to put that guest's name on the box so I could tell easily. However, my abstract record cacophonously halted again when Kim asked me to pull up to the front door so they could load my order into my car. I had parked close by and previously requested for at least one employee to help me carry my order to my car. Also, I didn't want to block the right lane of the frontage road through the town center, so Kim and a team member helped carry the order to my car. My guests enjoyed the food for the most part, and I used this opportunity to invite them to visit The Stand with their family/friends on their own time (and dime lol). My order included an abundance of sauces and dressings, and I also appreciate how there were label stickers on each half sandwich/wrap in the platter. However, I would highly recommend a different means of labeling these sandwiches/wraps. As an example, I tried to grab a Chimichurri Steak Wrap only to find out it was actually a Falafel Wrap, which was the only vegetarian option in the platter. Good thing I got my vegetarian guest that grilled cheese sandwich! Lastly, if you've managed to make it to the end of this review, I'll let you know there's a discount code for customers placing a catering order for the first time. You actually read it in this review somewhere. Missed it? Sorry, I'm not giving it out like that. You'll have to re-read the review :)
