My go to spot! If it's a date night or I just want to go have a good meal, drink and watch the dodger game alone. The atmosphere is so inviting and clean. The food is amazing, every thing is fresh and locally sourced and my fave part NO SEED OILS! The pride and attention to detail are top tier. I love the owners and staff, and the food...bomb!!! read more

Our Nest - Beef tallow fries! BOMB!! And an espresso martini! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brea, California

Our Nest is such a great local spot! The ambiance is chill and inviting, the food is delicious, and the service is fantastic. You can tell the owners take pride in their business and food. Husband had the chile verde, and it was absolutely off the hook. I grew up on eating loco moco," so any chance I get to try someone else's I will. I can really appreciate the chef's spin on elevating a classic comfort dish. The Spam fried rice was incredible, paired with the traditional hamburger patty, gravy and fried egg. I even loved the addition of spinach--it almost made me feel like I was eating healthy! They also offer a beautiful dinner menu Thursday through Saturday, plus a full bar, which makes it a great place for both casual meals and date nights. My only gripe is that they're not open for dinner on Tuesdays and Wednesdays because I'd definitely be there more often. If you haven't tried Our Nest yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. Let's support local businesses that are doing it. read more

Wonderful service! Almost all of us loved our meal. Unfortunately no photo of the French toast w/peaches, it looked wonderful but my friend said, it could use some type of peach sauce or a Glaze? Our server explained the menu and recommendations. Simple nice decorative restaurant, a few TV's. I'll be sure to visit again to try other options. read more

I love Our Nest! JP and his wife are wonderful -- they've treated me with the utmost respect and kindness, and they're honestly the nicest owners I've ever met. The whole menu is absolutely delicious; I always order the Nest Chilaquiles with eggs and a mocha latte, and it never gets old. The staff is professional and attentive, always making sure everything at the table is taken care of. The environment is clean and comfortable, perfect for enjoying a nice meal. From breakfast to dinner, they never disappoint. I highly recommend Our Nest! -Andy P read more

It is AMAZING !!! read more

I got the special of the day, spicy steak and eggs. The steak and the spicy sauce were delicious but I prefer it with potatoes instead of beans Service is a bit slow even when there weren't many parties seated. Also, I was kind of hoping for a changing table in the bathroom for our little girl. It's a really nice spot with good ambiance over all with good food. read more

First time here and happy to say it did not disappoint!! Came on a Sunday morning but didn't wait too long to get seated. Service was great the whole time. I loved that there was plenty to choose from for both drinks and food. Serving sizes were generous and the quality and taste was on point! My toast was absolutely delicious as were the chilaquiles. I haven't been to the Fullerton location but I was told this location in Brea is bigger, plenty of seating. I loved the outdoor space too, outdoor seating is needed in SoCal! Absolutely no complaints! Would definitely be back again. read more

Our Nest - Pancakes with berries, green chilaquiles with carnitas and sunny side eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brea, California

Came on a Tuesday morning and no line or wait. We were greeted by the owner and welcomed into a fresh and homey feeling dining area with comfy booths. This place feels "family owned" and we loved the pictures on the shelves. We ordered the French toast and I have to say, as breakfast aficionados, these are the BEST FRENCH TOAST in all the land. My husband ordered the chorizo con huevo (with mulita tortillas) and also so delicious. Meñu was not overwhelming or random, this place has great sazón and staff is helpful with suggestions, tidy, and prompt. Also, we ordered the Earl Grey latte and it's so divine! A friend recommended this place and we'll be recommending it to our loved ones too. Thanks for a lovely breakfast experience read more

Food was good, wait was long, 30 minutes but it was Sunday. What surprised me was that Gratuity was included for a Family of 5 At 20%.!! Most restaurants do include for a party of 6. I asked the waitress who was picking up our check about gratuity and she did say tha it's included for 6 or more, then I told her we are a party of 5 and she changed, it and said "oh yeah 5 or higher, get gratuity included" Won't be coming back for that reason, service was not exceptional to get 20% read more

Took yet one more friend with me today to introduce them to the great food and service !! And the best part is , I always try something new.

Good food....good company...and good service! As it always is read more

Our Nest - Rudy's Special - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brea, California

This was our first time dining at Our Nest. Coffee prices were a bit high compared to other locations. The food prices were comparable and maybe a little higher than those of similar establishments. I thought my burger and fries tasted great. It came out warm. While my friend's dish with tater tots came out cold. She did inform the server, and right away, she did offer a replacement. My friend declined; she just wanted to inform the server. My friend is not easily pleased with most things she eats, so I would take everything she says with a grain of salt. Lol. We both did really like the decor and ambiance of the restaurant. The esthetics were very pleasing. It made the dining experience very pleasant. read more

I've eaten at the Fullerton location, and this one is just as good if not better!!! I ordered the carnitas hash and it was amazing. Service is excellent too, especially from Sarah B. It's a big modern space, but still feels very old school when you sit at the counter. Will definitely be back!!! read more

Our Nest - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brea, California

Needed a quick breakfast stop in between my son's basketball game on a Sunday morning and came across this place. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and immediately offered seats at the counter. I (being the typical indecisive woman that I am) was having a hard time choosing a coffee. Yes, I know... COFFEE. To which luckily John Paul offered to whip up a little something with a bunch of things that I honestly forgot what they were. Point is... coffee was good. The design on the coffee needs a little practice, but then again it's the taste that matters Moving on to the meals! My Fiancé opted for the popular French toast. Once again, I am the typical woman trying my man's food... so I took a bite (after all I'm leaving the review right?) Let me tell you. They were very good. Just the perfect amount of every ingredient. Not overwhelmingly sweet. Just perfect. Due to the weather (rainy), I opted to try their red pork Pozole. Now you know us Mexican be judging. I was ready to ask for extra limes and tapatío to add flavor lol Boy was I surprised when I took that first spoonful. The pork meat was tender and flavorful. You can taste all of the spices that a typical homemade Pozole has. For once in my life (and I've been on this earth for quite some time now) I didn't have to add extra lime or salt. This pozole was a 10/10 This is certainly a place we will be visiting again. Specially on a Pozole Sunday! read more

WORST restaurant experience ever!!! Went to Our Nest restaurant on Mother's Day in Brea. They put my name on the OpenTable waitlist and had us waiting outside for over ONE HOUR with no updates. Then we found out they had canceled my reservation in their system without telling us anything. After all that waiting, I asked if they could seat us sooner since the cancellation was their mistake. Instead, they told us it would still be another 30-minute wait. Put on the name in open table wait list, and took off the name by yourself? What a dumb restaurant Completely disorganized and unprofessional. Felt like we were not welcome at all. Very disappointing experience, especially on Mother's Day. Never coming back. Worst restaurant in Brea neighborhood. read more

This place isn't just flipping pancakes -- they're mixing some of the best craft cocktails I've had anywhere, let alone at brunch. The bartenders clearly know their stuff: balanced, creative, and perfectly paired with the menu. And the carnitas? Unreal. Crispy edges, juicy inside, just the right hit of spice -- they taste like they've been slow-cooked by someone who truly cares. Whether it's tucked into tacos, piled on chilaquiles, or just on its own, it's the star of the plate. Great vibe, great service, and a killer combo of breakfast and bar energy. Perfect for when you want something that feels laid-back but still delivers chef-level flavor. read more

This was my third time here, and it does not disappoint! Easy location to get in and out of, and the food is delicious. Everything looks and tastes fresh. Our go to for breakfast is the Chilaquiles Burrito and the French Toast. In my opinion, the burrito is definitely shareable. The French Toast is just the right amount of sweetness. It's kind of gooey in the middle, so it's extra hella good. read more

If I were to sum up our dinner experience at Our Nest in one word, it would be quality. Quality customer service. Quality food. Quality ambiance. You wouldn't expect a brunch place to serve an upscale dinner, but that is what Our Nest has done. We haven't been for breakfast, but thought we'd get a more casual menu at dinner since it's a brunch place. No, the menu was legit. The dimly lit but not dark atmosphere made it so quaint and cute. Very nice for a date night. My husband got the steak sandy with tallow fries and I got the sea bass with garlic mashed potatoes. Both of us cleaned our plates. The steak was excellently cooked with a perfect balance of chimichurri and pickled onions without being overpowered. The tallow fries were "too good", with a deep earthy flavor and tons of crisp exterior. Perfectly fried. My sea bass was cooked well, and paired well with the buttery sauce and fresh roasted veggies. The mashed potatoes were soooo yum. My husband also ordered their version of a espresso martini. He said it was very good, and he loved the flavors. It was very stiff though. Our waters were refilled frequently throughout the night, and the owner came to visit our table as well. The wait staff were extremely friendly. So why not 5 stars? Well, you are paying a pretty penny for the quality you receive. I get it...the restaurant industry runs on tight margins and a decent meal at a fast casual restaurant nowadays is easily $20-25. Our entrees were each $40+, so we paid $150 for the two dinner entrees, a $20 cocktail, plus tax and 20% tip. It was pretty pricey. Also, the amount of fish I got was a little on the smaller side, and the food took a little longer to come out than I expected. However, all of these things didn't detract from our experience much, and we would love to see this place thrive and stay open. Definitely will be back for breakfast and dinner again! read more

Our server Nolan was attentive and so friendly. The ambiance was very nice and trendy. Six of us ordered a variety of dishes such as Shrimp and pasta, tacos, arugula salad, and chicken. All of us said we will definitely go back to try other delicious dishes. This is a local gem!!! read more

Right when we walked in we were instantly greeted. Very kind and attentive staff. The overall environment was calm and very welcoming. We stumbled up Our Nest one day when we stopped at the light and saw the sign. We looked it up and decided this was a place we needed to try. As someone that eats mostly red meat and eggs, I of course ordered, steak and eggs. I had 2 16oz NY steaks with 9 over medium eggs. My wife had an omelet. Honestly, I'm not a fan of NYs, I'm a Rib-eye type of guy, but these steaks hit the spot! The steaks were quality and cooked exactly as requested, medium rare. I also liked the presentation. They put everything onto a giant platter instead of multiple plates, which made it very convenient for my meal. Looked pretty cool too . Overall, this place is highly recommended. No seed oils. Grass fed steaks. Organic eggs. What more can u ask for. Next visit I'll be having their tomahawk, assuming it's available . Thanks for the great food and great experience! Food and service was IMPECCABLE! This will most definitely be our new "go-to" spot! read more

This place is SO good!! Clean, and the ambiance is modern and aesthetically pleasing. The service is phenomenal. We had four different people check in on us throughout our dining experience which showed they are attentive, caring, and communicate with each other as a team to ensure the customers needs are met. The food and taste was truly out of this world! We are so excited to make this our Sunday brunch spot. Can't wait to come back and try something else on the menu because there were so many delicious options to choose from! Update: came back again for our routine Sunday brunch and Our Nest does not miss a thing when it comes to the brunch game! Churro French toast, breakfast burger, and the breakfast taquitos are all like wow wow wow. And their iced coffees read more

Our Nest - Chorizo scramble with beans and rice - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brea, California

We had a really disappointing experience here today. We had a reservation, but one person in our party was running a little late. Instead of working with us or even taking a moment to listen, the manager immediately shut us down and kept interrupting while I was trying to explain that we were all planning to order and fully dine at the same time there. I understand having policies, especially on busy mornings or holidays, but the way this was handled felt dismissive and unnecessarily rigid. A little flexibility or even basic customer service would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, because of how this situation was handled, we chose not to stay. I wouldn't recommend this place based on that experience. read more

I absolutely love the ambiance here! Cute, clean and great vibes! The first thing that caught my attention was that front patio/small banquet room, the vast wall display at the bar and the music! The food was excellent as always and the service was superb! The menu has a variety of options and I'm sure they're all delicious. I had the chorizo and eggs. It's turkey chorizo so it was NOT greasy. It comes with rice & beans, all of it was delicious. A good portion size so I brought the rest home. My friend had the chile verde, she loved it! This was our first time to this location. I typically go to the Fullerton location and my go to is the chilaquiles "Eggs in a Nest" with carnitas. They never disappoint! I've tried a variety of dishes and have enjoyed every one of them. So I'm certain this new location is serving up the same quality dishes! Can't wait to bring the family back to this location for dinner! Congratulations on the new addition! Love it! read more

OVERDUE review! We've been longtime fans of Our Nest in Fullerton (my parents live across the street ), so we were thrilled when they opened in Brea--right next door to me and my husband! This new location is such a gem: beautiful remodel, airy indoor-outdoor patio, a full bar AND a coffee bar. It's an elevated experience while still keeping that cozy, wholesome coffeehouse vibe. Visit #1: I started with an espresso martini (SO good) and the Our Brea Toast--their avocado toast is on a whole other level. The lemon dressing with radish and cucumber? Fresh, bright, and super filling. Left me energized for the day! Service was excellent--staff is helpful, friendly, and you can even spot the owners working hands-on, cooking, and serving. Always a good sign when ownership is that involved. Visit #2 (brought the whole fam!): I had the Reina specialty coffee (a Mexican latte vibe)--beautiful presentation, not overly sweet, rich in flavor. My husband ordered The Joey Mainland Moco (basically a breakfast burger in a bowl)--so hearty and flavorful, and that bacon relish is chef's kiss. Dad went with the Carnitas Avocado Toast--absolutely massive portion, and judging by his smile, it was a hit. Mom tried the Our Brea Toast--she loved the combo of lemon-dressed arugula, radish, cucumber, and feta. Fresh and balanced. Overall, Our Nest Brea is already a favorite. Between the coffee bar, full bar, and creative menu, it's the kind of place you can enjoy morning to night. Welcoming staff, thoughtful food, and great energy--Brea needed this! read more

Our Nest is about to get my best review yet. The customer service was warm and attentive, but what really blew me away was the food--hands down some of the best I've ever had. And I don't say that lightly. I've worked in the corporate restaurant world for several years, and it takes a lot to impress me. Every dish came out hot, packed with flavor, and clearly made fresh to order. It was a busy day, so the wait for food was a little longer than usual, but honestly--good things take time. The kitchen was cranking out food for a full house, and the quality never wavered. The end result was so worth the wait. 10/10 across the board. Flavor, freshness, and hospitality all exceeded expectations. We will definitely be back--and next time, we're bringing friends and family so they can experience it too. read more

Our Nest - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brea, California

Okay, so this is a must try spot. Not that I want you all to flood the place and make it too busy for me! If you are looking for something special. Not your everyday breakfast. Although they do have that. Try their French toast, or any one of their Benny's. The best hollandaise. More cheesey than most. And did I say they have great coffee. Well they do! And that is a main reason for me to spend my hard earned money on breakfast. Oh, and their burgers. Delicious. Great beef and thoughtful add ons. Great for families. Big open dining. A little noisy. And the Service can be touchy. But if your patient and can smile, they are happy to help when they have a moment. We've been back a number of times. And will go again read more

Came here to see what Our Nest has to offer other than delicious brunch!! Answer is life altering tallow fries. Hand cut. Fried in a proprietary tallow fryer that does not do anything other than make tallow fries. They come as an app, or a side to a tasty burger. These fries do not go into the normal fryer. They do not go into the French toast fryer (that's right, this place cares so much about their food that they have three separate fryers!!!) perfectly crusty and very satisfying. That burger? Snake River farms ground beef. Yup. Name brand wagyu. No cheaping out on ingredients here. Also delightful is the bread pudding. I am a bread pudding snob. Personally make one that is requested regularly at work potlucks and birthdays. A friend even asked if I would make it for her wedding. Believe me when I say, I don't like most bread puddings. This one though... I was stuffed silly... and I still wanted every last bite. The texture... amazing... the balance of salty sweet is perfect. The caramel is wonderful. The slight nuttiness of the pistachio? Not anything I would have ever thought of, but it is amazing. Don't forget tasty drinks with a full liquor license. Pantalones while sitting at the bar with tallow fries or a Because I Said So is a great way to kick off any evening!! read more

We love the food at Our Nest! You're paying a little more for better food. JP and Sam (Samantha) have made a great restaurant.

We recently had a disappointing and alienating experience at Our Nest. Our family of four came in for breakfast and were seated promptly on the patio. Coffee and water were brought out quickly, and everything started off well. When it came time to order, my mother asked if she could order from the kids' menu. She has a medically documented digestive condition that significantly limits how much she can eat. Because of this, she carries a physician-issued medical card and occasionally requests a smaller portion when dining out. Many restaurants have been understanding and either allow her to order from a smaller-portion menu or offer an adjusted portion at a reduced price. The owner Sam was our server that morning and declined the request. While every restaurant has the right to set its own policies, what felt discouraging was the lack of willingness to explore a simple accommodation or have a brief conversation about it. The interaction left our family -- especially my mother -- feeling dismissed rather than welcomed. It really bummed us out as we were looking forward to trying this place and my mother was the one who found and suggested this place. We ultimately paid for our coffee and chose to dine elsewhere. We had an outstanding breakfast at TJ's Restaurant on Lambert, which has been around as a local favorite for a long time, and offers great food options at roughly half the cost of most menu items from Our Nest. I'm hopeful for a more flexible and compassionate approach in situations involving legitimate medical limitations and it begins with ownership and goes from the top down. As someone who worked in both Front of House and Back of House in many restaurants and bars over the years, I can assure you that small accommodations can go a long way in making guests feel valued. I hope to see positive change from Our Nest. read more

I went here on a Tuesday at around 8 AM and it was the perfect time. No crowds at all. The food was amazing hands-down some of the best French toast that I've ever had. The inside is spacious and very well put together very clean. The parking is perfect. It's in a shopping center. I really recommend this place for its breakfast. I will definitely be coming back.. read more

I ordered the French toast "combo." It was delicious, but I was surprised to learn it isn't shareable unless you pay an additional $7.50. For a place that isn't exactly cheap, I thought that was a bit unreasonable. My husband had the breakfast carnitas burrito. He said it was decent, though nothing special. The service was fine overall. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, but when another server dropped off our food, he mentioned bringing us an extra plate and then never followed through. The ambiance was definitely a highlight--cute décor, a charming outdoor patio, and clean restrooms. Our total came to $48.69 before tip. read more

Worst customer service I've ever experienced -- this restaurant states they do no modifications, which I respect to degree, but they were nothing but rude when it came to handling allergies. I asked the waitress if I could modify a dish since I'm allergic to eggs, and she sent the restaurant owner who literally told me he wouldn't serve me. I understand being cautious in not giving customers something they're allergic to especially with eggs being so prominent in breakfast foods, but I've never seen someone be so disingenuous and dismissive in handling the matter, let alone the owner. I asked if they could make a breakfast burrito without eggs and he said "That would just be a burrito with potatoes and bacon, you really want me to make that for you?" All other breakfast restaurants I've been to have accommodated my allergies and handled it with such care and kindness. This restaurant did neither, and I seriously don't recommend this place just from the service alone. read more

What a lovely business with an equally lovely team! From the moment we walked in, the environment felt warm, welcoming, and well thought out. The location is convenient, there's plenty of seating, and the bar layout is beautifully designed -- it really adds to the overall vibe of the space. A huge thank you to Becca for making our dining experience exceptional! Her customer service skills truly stand out. She was friendly, attentive, and gave us awesome breakfast suggestions that did not disappoint. It's always a great sign when someone genuinely enjoys helping guests choose the best items on the menu -- and she absolutely delivered. Great food, great atmosphere, and even better service. We'll definitely be back! read more
