A pleasant surprise from this quaint little place that popped up on Yelp as we searched for a random brunch spot on a Sunday morning. The service was top notch and wait staff made our first visit a memorable one by highly recommending we sample the French toast, which turned out to be the best recommendation as it surpassed any other French toast we ever had. The chilaquiles were crispy and super flavorful (both sauces) and the fingerling potatoes were solid. Flavors for each were perfect as nothing was over or under seasoned. There was a minor accident when a utensil fell on me as our table was being cleared, but staff came to the rescue quickly with soda water to treat any stains. Despite this, still remarkable service. Definitely coming back and looking forward to the Brea location. read more

We found Our Nest on google maps. What a blessing. The team delivered an amazing experience. The food was delicious and we are so grateful to have come across this eatery. Thank you Sam for sharing your story about how Our Nest came to be. Next time we are visiting from San Diego we will be sure to come back. Definitely check out Our Nest! read more

Sam, I don't know who you are and you most certainly did not stop by and say hello or have a conversation with us. But wow, you have such a professional way of responding to customers. The person who approached us didn't even come to our table, she approached midway, 2 tables from us with coffee pot in hand and said "I really need that table, we have people waiting" . No thanks for coming in, no sorry for needed the table, no nothing. You could take more of your husband's personality and good service instead of your crass attitude. We were rudely asked to leave our table because they had other guest waiting. We had been seated for an hour and 15 minutes, and waited 25 minutes for our table. The large party of 10 sat before us, had breakfast before us - were they ask to leave as well? Who ever the woman is - be it owner, manager, relative, food server - she has the worst customer service and we have always looked beyond her because we loved this place. I am sorry you were closing in an hour and half, sorry people were willing to wait just like we did. Maybe one more thing to add to the outdoor board is a time limit per table? We have been going here for 3 years at least 1-2 a month sometimes 3 visiting our son at Fullerton. Onward for another local breakfast place. Wish them well. read more

We came here on a Saturday morning, we're not locals but came to check this place out. The staff were very friendly and we sat at the bar counter. The ambience was very farm style and decor was cute. We ordered the chilaquiles, the machaca with rice and beans, and a small order of French toast. The presentation and the quality of food was very good. Would come back here if we're around Fullerton again. read more

It's a cute spot, and the food is very good. In fact, I remember commenting to my partner that it was the tastiest breakfast I've had in quite awhile. However. There are some... quirks? About this place you need to keep in mind. They have a lot of rules and they seem very strict about them. We thought it was odd that they are not willing to entertain substitutions or changes to any of their dishes. Granted, they even say so right on the menu so you know what you're getting into, but here is an anecdote for you: They have regular french toast, and they have a different "Our French Toast" that is fancier and prepared differently. The regular french toast comes with a couple of sides, the "Our French Toast" does not. My partner wanted the "Our French Toast," but she also wanted some eggs and sausage. It was, apparently, not possible to order sides? We found this very odd. The server insisted that she get the other french toast instead, which came with sides. My partner did not want that french toast, and could not understand why she could not order, separately, eggs and sausage. Never before have we visited a restaurant that will not allow you to order a side of eggs or sausage. This brings me to another point. MY meal came with sides, but we found in three separate locations notations that absolutely FORBID sharing food, so I cheekily informed her that I was very sorry, but I was not allowed to share any of my food with her, and that she would just have to settle for the french toast she did not want, so that she could get her eggs and sausage. Also, if you have children with you, just be aware that your toddlers will not be allowed to have their sippy cups. Unsure if babies will be allowed their bottles (if I were a betting person, I'd say no). There is a time limit, and yes it will be enforced. This is a place to come in, eat your food, and leave. You'll have to save the pleasant chatter and relaxed brunch vibes for later. Be aware that if you pay with a card, there is an additional charge. So basically, my review in a nutshell is this: The food was VERY good, but all their rules come off as a bit controlling and prohibitive and we did not feel very chill while we dined. So, based purely on the taste and quality of food? Great! Based on how comfortable we felt eating here? Between the vibes and decor (ifkyk), the service, and how strict they seemed about everything (feeding each other food quickly and discreetly across the table so we could try one anothers' food felt like a daring game), not so much. I know none of us have the right to try and tell anyone how to run their business, and I'm certainly not trying to, so I hope they understand I'm not trying to trash talk their business at all, I'm just being honest about my experience and letting others know what to expect, so that people who read my review will hopefully not feel as bewildered as we did. Constrictive criticism is not a bad thing, and it's left with good intentions. read more

My niece and I stumbled upon this true gem after our Feng Cha adventure. From the moment we walked in, the owners and staff made us feel right at home. Their warmth and attentiveness set the tone for a wonderful dining experience. The restaurant itself had this fantastic local charm that instantly put us at ease. With staff recommendations in mind, we dove into a trio of dishes that left us in awe. First up, the Loco Moco. It was like Hawaii on a plate. Oh and btw - it came with Spam Fried Rice! Yeah, you read that right and I'll say it again -- Hawaii on a plate! The Churro French Toast. Move over, Disneyland, because Our Nest has stolen the churro show. Crispy, sweet, and utterly irresistible, every bite was pure happiness. "The Jakey". This dish is named after one of their regulars -- how sweet is that?! It was my niece's absolute favorite from the trio, and trust me, that's saying something. Each bite of the Carnitas Hash topped with Chilaquiles was like explosion of flavor and textures. Our Nest, you've won our hearts -- and our bellies. This was the first but definitely won't be our last visit! read more

Absolutely perfect locals breakfast spot & I thank Yelp for the recommendation! The owners were down-to-earth & wholesome people. We were in a rush as they took our coffee & Espresso orders & food. Recommending what they are popular for the French Toast, which is an absolute MUST! AND I do not have a sweet tooth. It was so moist & the quarter order was just enough for us to share after our full breakfast. Ordered the omelet w/ turkey bacon, spinach & a regular breakfast w/ potatoes & toast. Quick & delish! Hope to see you all in Vegas & thank you! FYI they also serve beer, mimosas, etc. read more

The food is amazing here! They are very proud of their carnitas dishes and I can see why. At the recommendation of our server I had the Carnitas Macchaca Hash and it as delicious. The breakfast sandwiches, quesadillas, and tacos are also really well done. We also tried the pancakes so Based upon my visit everything is great! Give them a try! read more

Great service and excellent food. Always hard to pick what to have, as everything has been great! Old school values.... Love it!

I got the deep fried pistachio stuffed French toast combo with a side of their "our potatoes". Pistachio French Toast Cinnamonbread with pistachio cream in the middle deep fried with crushed pistachios, a mascopone cream and caramel. I liked the idea but it was very busy plate and pistachio was barely noticed. Turkey bacon Good quality but, just limp and very little crisp. Did take it too but literal took it out of the box with in two mins of pick up. Over med eggs undercooked Side of "our potatoes" wouldn't want to claim them as mine. Left a lot to be desired. Small fingerling potatoes barely cooked through, bigger chunks were hard. No crisp (asked for well done potatoes) or very little seasoning. And to top it off $65 for French toast combo with side of potatoes. read more

Late review, but Wife was raving about this place for a while and I finally gave in. Not on the menu but they had this pork chop and it was thick; not sure what they glanced it with or rubbed it with but had such a nice maple taste to it. The wife had the apple crumble French toast and that was damn good!! I am not usually a fan of sweets but I'd order this for myself. The portions here were impressive so you better come hungry. Small world later on found out buddy of mine knows the owner. #supportlocal read more

Food: very good, cheers to the cook! Service: not great. Placed a to go order and wasn't given utensils or napkins. Also, there was no mention of extra charge for egg whites. Next time, Ill have to ask for everything instead of it being a given or part of the service. Servers are nice though, even though they were really busy. read more

I really enjoyed Our Nest. They have both breakfast and lunch items, the service is pretty good, but the parking can be difficult to deal with. It's a small place but worth the wait read more

We went back to our nest, and ate so well I couldn't not write another review. My double iced coffee was amazing, as always. The ice is frozen coffee, so it never dilutes. My wife got the French toast which is, in a word, decadent. Fluffy, light, sweet, and that was before any maple syrup was added. The side of sausage was about the best sausage I've ever had. They had a special for a carne asada plate. It boils down to steak and eggs, Mexican style. We did not ask for the price and it turned out to be $30. Worth every penny. The asada is packed with flavor, and cooked to perfection, my eggs were cooked perfectly and complimented the steak better than I thought was possible. Their salsa tastes made in house. The real winner was the pico de gallo. Full flavored cherry tomatoes, delicious onion, and generous cilantro, all sliced chunky. It made the dish. The portion was so large I couldn't finish the excellent rice and beans. I would eat this on the regular given half a chance. On the way out we spotted a tiramisu latte, which is noteworthy by itself. It even comes with a ladyfinger cookie on top. Well balanced coffee, sweet, spice, and cream. The star anise whispers its complexity in the generous finish each sip. We will be back. read more

From the front desk to end of the meal, this restaurant has an excellent service that gives you a great feeling and full satisfaction of your meal. Great place for breakfast as they have various choices such as pancakes, French toasts, burritos, sandwiches, egg benedicts, chilaquiles, bowls, etc. Of course, if you want lunch items, they have the hamburgers, enchiladas, tacos, etc. Anything you try, you can tell they have carefully put the menu together in a very healthy way so you will enjoy every single bite of it. The restaurant is very clean and gives a modern diner vibe. You can tell that they take cleaning seriously as they chose the whole restaurant to be white. read more

First of all if I could, I would rate the restaurant 3.5 starts. The four of us (2 couples) visited Our Nest for a brunch on a Thursday at 11am. We regularly get together and go out for a meal. Note that we are 4 retired seniors, and I wear hearing aids. The restaurant was somewhat dark and we had a bit of difficulty reading the menu. There was loud music and the restaurant did not have much sound deadening materials on the ceiling and walls. I ordered an omelette and found it very tasty. My wife ordered waffles with fruit and enjoyed it. An order of eggs and their version of Avocado Toast (with a lot of avocado) was very good. 2 of us ordered the Our Potatoes which were fingerling potatoes cut into good-sized pieces. There was just a light seasoning on them and they were cooked slightly so, they were almost "crunchy." I found them ok but, I would probably go for the hash browns or tater tots if we returned. Our other friend did not like them at all. My wife asked about a decaf coffee and they did not have the capability to make it but, informed us that they were in the process of getting the equipment to make a decaf coffee. She ordered the Latte with caffeine, and enjoyed it. Note the menu does indicate that an 18% gratuity is charged for parties of 5 or more and 22% for parties of 8 or more. Butter was free but, the jam for my English Muffin was 50 cents. When our bill came, there was a lower total for cash. I would probably come again but, one friend with the potatoes did not want to return. read more

Came here after a Saturday morning spin class and there was no wait. Upon entering the restaurant, there's a large sign that says if you're in a hurry, this is not the place for you as good things take time. They make everything from scratch here and you can really tell when you taste the food! I got the 4oz filet mignon with sunny side up eggs and it was so yummy. The steak was a perfect medium rare and my eggs were soo runny. The toast was also delicious and I almost never eat toast. Can't wait to try their other dishes so we'll be coming here regularly for sure! read more

Hello!! I just wanna give a big thanks to everyone at the restaurant for serving me and my son last week, even though staff yelled at us as we waited 40 mins for food. We are still feeling the after-effects (in the toilet Haha) of the mediocre food, but I still enjoyed looking at all the Blue Lives Matter decorations!! I'm happy that this restaurant does not tolerate political affiliations . If you are a racist and/or Blue lives matter follower, come down and eat a veryyyy middle-of-the-road and borderline diarrhea-inducing breakfast while admiring the intimidating, yet useless police badges on the wall. read more

Food is good, and this location was recommend by another law enforcement officer I work with. However, I read about the owners attitude and decided to still try it out myself. Unfortunately he was extremely rude to my 50 year old father and made it seem like we were not welcomed. First I thought, "maybe he is just like that." Nope, you can tell that with certain people he gives good service. The rest of the staff are extremely friendly. I won't be going back but I guess when you make good food you can get away with being rude and making others feel less than. I guess I made the mistake, and I should have gone in my work uniform to get decent service. After I wrote this review the owner responded to it and you may read it at the bottom. This is a response to his/her justification. Whoever they are typing about an apology to a group who was not us. I work in a stressful job and completely understand working under pressure and how hard it can be to keep composure. However, I got there with my family as soon as it opened, 0800 hours. No one was there yet. Nothing About a reservation was discussed so I am not sure who you are talking about and "apologizing" to. That just shows that someone else felt like they were mistreated. I am just talking about the rudeness of the owner and how he treated my father on Father's Day, no "hello" no "welcome" no "happy Father's Day" just a condescending "we are extremely busy it's Father's Day we have a lot going on and so many reservations." It is now 0540 hours so I have had the entire day to think on this review and not go based on "emotion" as you claim. As for the county jail comment, clever. read more

The food here does not disappoint. I have been here many times with different family members and we all agree that the food and service are consistently great, always worth the wait. Definitely a family friendly environment, very warm and welcoming. My favorite dish to order is The Joey, something about that cheese sauce. Mmm. I can't say enough good things about this place. They absolutely know what they are doing. read more

Food is ok- nothing so memorable that I would have to return for but not bad either. Portions are good for the price. I would say the portions are bigger here than other brunch places. Decor is also cute. However, where they fail is service. And for me when I'm brunching with friends service is actually really important. Brunch food is hard to mess up and to be honest it's pretty similar wherever you go. So what does stand out is ambiance and service. The server we had was not friendly. Cold, actually. Seemed annoyed by our group from the very beginning. We ended up staying there 2.5 hours chatting away but it was never once full where we were taking tables away from potential customers. When she asked what drink we wanted to order I asked what kind of tea do you have. Server says "I'll bring you the box so you can see". She brings the box along with the hot water so pretty much forces me to have the tea since she brought the mug with hot water and left it at the table. I saw the box - it was tea I would not have ordered at a restaurant. Just ordinary tea you can buy from literally any grocery store. I don't buy tea for $4 when I could literally buy it from a grocery store down the street for an entire box- I only order tea if it's special in some way. But whatever. I guess I could've said no I don't want it and have told her to take the hot water back but she did the work of bringing all this and I don't really make it a habit of sending things back so I just accepted it. But really- this isn't good service. It's terrible actually. Especially when there was a lot of other upselling happening without our knowledge which I'll get into below. What really perturbed me was the added charges. See picture of receipt. We were a party of five but one of us only ordered a coffee. So it was really like a party of 4. We didn't realize there was a 20 percent automatic gratuity for a party of 5 until the bill came. I did notice it was on the menu later though so I can't say we weren't warned. But if you see the receipt what we were actually billed was higher than 20 percent (even according to their own tip guideline on the receipt). We were also charged .50 for salsa (did not know there would be a charge for this in advance) and an extra 2.00 for eggs (also wasn't warned there would be an up charge for this in advance). The server asked "do you want eggs with that... how do you want it"- something like that- where we were never told about extra charges and just assumed they were included and that's why she was asking how we wanted them. It just felt very sneaky in hindsight. And no, we wouldn't have gotten the tea, salsa or eggs if we knew. There's also a surprise surcharge for using credit card- there are restaurants that give cash discount but here it's the credit card surcharge. Just felt very nickel and dimed unknowingly here and I get in this economy everyone is trying to survive but there's different ways to do this- not by surprising everyone with the bill at the end. If you read a lot of the one/two star reviews, there are many complaints about surprise charges like mine. Would not return for sure. read more

First off, two kitchen sink burritos cost me $45. With that kind of pricing, I was expecting the burritos to be the best damn burritos I've ever eaten in my life. The burritos were good but definitely not worth the price plus the 12% auto gratuity they charge for take out orders, plus the credit card up charge. I will give them credit, at least they are upfront about the 12% auto gratuity, but I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that an auto gratuity on a takeout order is very off putting. Everyone that worked there was very friendly. The whole credit/cash difference in price was also a nice surprise when I got the bill. Add all that up and that's how you end up with a $23 burrito that's a 7/10 on my personal breakfast burrito scale, above average but in my opinion, not without the price. read more

Considering Our Nest? Owner and staff are rude and difficult to work with. There is also a lack of accountability when addressing customers; customers are the reason you can afford a second location to be begin with.

I asked for my pancakes to be very light (in color). When they arrived dark I brought it to the waitress' attention. Someone else overheard our conversation and stepped in. I repeated my original request and was snarkily told that they cannot serve raw pancakes...something about the health department thrown in there..........I explained I did not want raw but just cooked, light pancakes (which are fluffy vs dark which are rubbery). I ended up getting a new order, similar to the first order, and an excuse that the plancha is very hot. My friend's breakfast looked delicious. I paid in full. $66.00 + $13.00 tip for the 2 of us. read more

I hate to write about a small business like this, but here we are. If the restaurant is going to go all in with serving snark, then they need to put up signs up saying they do table limits to match the signs informing no outside food or drink, food sharing, etc. We sat for breakfast for 1 hour and 15 minutes and were asked to leave in the middle of a heartfelt chat. Mind you, other tables were there longer. I have a background in the service industry, so I was actually being mindful of our time in there (Friday, late breakfast time). There were a few other tables that had been there longer than us for sure. We would have gladly honored such a posted rule. So we were a little dumbfounded when approached by a male staff saying "can I kick you guys out?" which felt.....awkward to say the least. I brought up that we were in the middle of a very sad conversation and asked for a minute and was told that they could give us cups for the rest of our drinks and sit on the benches out front. I also mentioned that there were at least three tables I counted that were there longer than us and he said one still had food on their table (once again....service industry....they were not pre-bussed as I noticed when being mindful our time along with other customers). We were bummed because we had been to The Next several times and I have suggested it to friends as a place to try especially hearing that they are opening a Brea location. Now my word of mouth will be much different. There are more places in the area that you can still support as a local business that I have experienced good service and being treated with respect and dignity, such as Early Bird, Eggspresso, Poached, Toast, Café Cultura, Madres and Popping Yolk. read more

My wife and I stumbled upon this place after wanting to go to a different place but found out they were closed for Black Friday. We are so happy we found this place! Upon arriving at this spot, first thing we noticed was that it was packed. It looked like they had a lot of regulars as well. We got seated pretty quickly and browsed through the menu. My wife and I decided on splitting a light egg white omelet with hash browns, bacon, mushrooms, and onions. She got the eggs Benedict with carnitas and roasted potatoes. The omelet also came with two half slices of sourdough toast, although you can get other types of toast as well. You can tell they make everything from scratch. Our meal took about 10-15 minutes to come out after ordering, which was not bad considering how many people were there. When the food came out, we instantly got excited to taste it. The omelet was excellent (or egg-cellent; pun intended). The egg was nice and fluffy and I loved how they offer the option to have mostly egg whites with one egg yoke. Seems like a healthy option and it tasted amazing. The stuffed the inside with bacon, mushrooms, and onions. Every bite had a bit of all the elements which made it so amazing. The hash browns were amazing as well! Loved how they are thinner which means a nicer crunch on the potatoes. Definitely preferred this over the country potatoes. The eggs Benedict was so so good as well. Definitely a rich sauce but it went well with the dish. I loved that it wasn't overly salty but seasons just enough. It was perfect! The meat was tasty and having both dishes to taste from kept our pallets happy and free from flavor fatigue. I feel like if you ate the whole Benedict dish, it might feel too heavy, so just keep that in mind. Overall, the meal was amazing. The dishes tasted very fresh, flavorful, and the service was great. Only one thing to note is that the bill provides two prices. One for cash, and the other for credit card. The cash price reflects the menu price while the card price is about 4% more. I wish they would have set the credit card price to the menu pricing and give a 4% discount for cash instead because I don't think the majority of us carry cash nowadays. Not mad about it, but something to definitely think about when coming back. I wish I brought enough cash with me! Overall, I would highly recommend this place and hope you enjoy a great experience here as well! read more

My friend and I were looking for a place for lunch or brunch in the Brea area and were surprised to see long wait times for every place we were attempting to eat at. After exhausting our list of preferred places we set out for Fullerton to try Our Nest after doing a random search. It was packed too but no wait time for sitting at the counter which we immediately accepted. This is obviously a popular place for locals. Our waitress was cheerful and welcoming despite being harried and served us with a smile and some excellent recommendations. We both got coffee (I have no clue what kind of coffee they have but it was excellent!) and I ordered a special: apple crumble french toast. I got some bacon as a side to balance the sweet. I was surprised that the french toast was not really that sweet unless you poured some syrup on it. The big pieces of soft french toast (not slices but smaller pieces) were fantastic and the baked apple slices and crunchy clumps of crisp scattered amongst the french toast pieces made for a delicious breakfast plate. As I mentioned, it was lightly sweet and satisfying as such but I did pour a little syrup on a few bites. If I lived in the area I would be a regular customer here. Even so, I really enjoyed this place and anticipate that I will return sometime soon. read more
