Great brunch place. Definitely busy on the weekend. Order first. Be seated. Then served at table. Service from hostess to table was great; courteous and quick. Seating inside and outdoors under a shaded cover. Good amount of menu items, for veg and non-veg. Well marked on the menu. Best chilaquiles Rojas I have had in awhile. My friend enjoyed her chilaquiles verde. Best part was the white patch over tea. read more

Poached Kitchen came up on Yelp, and because so, we go! Lovely outside patio, but we chose to sit inside at a table. My party of 4 ordered a smattering of things (coffees and breaky), and we loved each and every item. It doesn't have a casual feel, it's a restaurant setting. A little odd is that you have to order at the cashier and pay, then sit. If you have 6 or more, they'll take your order by a wait staff. Whatev. They have a great menu, and also, seasonal items that each sound delish. Yes. Go. Next. read more

solid brunch spot. however, pls heed my warning & don't make the same mistake our party did: they do not have waiters to take your order unless you're in a group of more than 6, apparently. we opted to sit indoors since it was muggy & we had our 4 month old baby en tow, so we had to wait an additional 25 minutes on the waitlist. no biggie. we were directed to sit at table "15" without any warning that we needed to place our order at the counter at any point during our visit. so finally after sitting at the table for an additional 20 minutes, a busboy told us that we needed to place our order at the counter lol. super lame but the food came out promptly & (temperature) hot. goated hashbrowns. my husband also found his new favorite hot sauce here so can't complain too much. chilaquiles verdes were solid as were the the huevos rancheros. read more

Nice place for brunch. First time coming here. Good menu variety too. Food quality and presentation were on point. The flavors of the Birria Eggs Benedict were delicious. The only thing that prevented this from being five stars is the fact that the meat itself was not hot enough, lukewarm unfortunately. The drinks were great, and the service was fantastic. read more

It was my first visit here since it was nearby my place. It was a quick service brunch imo as we walk in ordered and the host tells you what number table to sit at. The restaurant was pretty crowded at 11am still. But I tried the classic Benedict, pancakes (plain) with sausages and a blueberry matcha. Everything tasted fresh and not too greasy and salty which is what prefer nowadays! The jalapeno hot sauce was great and the restaurant was nice and cute with a patio area. There was a bit of a wait at noon so I suggest coming shopper early. read more

Crazy too think this place is right down the street from me and I've never even noticed it. I love a good brunch spot, and will go anywhere to find some good chilaquiles. This place is different. Quick service but table setting as well you order before getting to your table. After I was finished eating I kinda felt like I wanted something else but I would have to go up instead of just asking my waiter to put in something else for me. The food was good, the chilaquiles verdes needed a tiny bit of spice tho, there pickled onions were good that I asked for an extra side to give it a little more tang since it needed something. I'd come here again and try more things on the menu. Everyone seems super helpful and good helping staff. I give it a solid 4.5. The vibe is super chill and comfy. Gave me time to read my bible while I was eating. read more

I love coming here. There are both indoor and outdoor patio seating. It's clean and servers are friendly and attentive. We were a party of 10 and they offered to take our orders at the table instead of ordering at the counter. The server was also willing to do individual checks! That was really accommodating. There is a wide selection of menu items. It's been fun to try something different each time. My Short Rib Omelette was very tasty and flavorful. It was a good sized meal. I couldn't even finish it. My iced lavender latte was perfect. It hit the spot. A great place for brunch but make sure you come early. It gets crowded. read more

This is a nice restaurant at the end of a strip mall setting. It has plenty of parking, easy to get to. Has an outdoor seating area attached with a nice open feel to it. It is a walk up to order place. The service was fine. The food good. I had the breakfast tacos and the garnish was fresh and the tomatillo sauce flavorful. It was average on cost about 20$ per order with a coffee. I like sit down dining with more service. It was clean and the staff was friendly and attentive. read more

Came here by a friend's recommendation as my husband and I were meeting up with them. For what it's worth, I like the ordering system where you go up to the counter to order before finding a seat since it made it much easier to split our bill. For the price, they give you a good amount of food. I got the egg scramble with ham and cheddar cheese. It came with toast (my husband picked sourdough for me) that was buttered and had a bit of jam on the side. It also had hash browns. The food was delicious and filling. My husband got a breakfast burrito in which he forgot sometimes he isn't a fan of them because they overload with potatoes, but he said he really enjoyed this one. Considering I'm also pregnant in my first trimester, I was so glad they had milk to help with my calcium intake. All in all, I would definitely come back here given the chance. (I'm from the Bay Area in Northern California so visiting regularly isn't quite feasible.) read more

Food was delicious!!! Service is fast and friendly!! Love the pancakes selection yum!! Love this new spot!

Fast casual brunch spot with pretty good food and service. Parking is easy if you utilize the BevMo side of the plaza. Nice patio seating where you can bring your dog Food/Drink- 4.5 stars Everything was pretty solid. Food was excellent. Drinks were fresh -pork chop with pomegranate sauce- pretty good and you can taste the higher quality of ingredients. Cooked perfectly -pancakes with ricotta and blueberries- this was good, but it would've been better if they mixed the ricotta into the batter -strawberry lemonade- freshly squeezed, delicious and not too sweet -matcha strawberry latte- this was ok. It tasted like the Costco matcha powder with strawberry jam thrown in Service- 4.5 stars Food came out pretty quickly. They did seem a bit understaffed at the tables, as you had to fetch a server for any drinks. And there were a good amount of tables that were unavailable since there weren't enough bussers to clean out the tables to accommodate the weekend rush Bottom Line Really solid brunch spot that I'll be visiting on the regular read more

This is a casual brunch spot where you order at the counter and grab your own seat. It gets pretty busy, so definitely try to come early. Breakfast Burrito - Even though I'm not usually a burrito person, this one surprised me in a good way. It was packed with flavor and had everything you'd want in a solid breakfast bite: chorizo, sausage, bacon, eggs, tomato pico, hash browns, white cheddar, aioli, and salsa roja. Really satisfying. Chilaquiles Verde - This was my first time trying chilaquiles, and unfortunately it just wasn't for me. The sauce leaned too sour, and the chips were already soggy. In hindsight, I probably should've asked for the sauce on the side so the chips could've stayed crunchy. Omelette - Simple but good. The bread that came with it wasn't crispy which loses some points. Tuna Melt - Tasty overall, though a bit greasy. Definitely very filling. Overall, a solid brunch spot with some hits and a few misses depending on what you order. read more

I have finally made it to Poached. I've heard good things about this place but for me it didn't live up to the hype. I'm a type of person who doesn't like to go to restaurants where I can make better food at home, but I really wanted to give this place a try. Me and my husband went here on New Year's Eve and the place was very busy. We came here for lunchtime and when we got there, we were greeted right away and they told us where to sit. We ordered the chicken and waffles and the Smashburger and fries. The fried chicken was too dry. However, the waffles were really good. The Smashburger was just OK too. I honestly thought that the cheese had a weird texture, almost like plastic. The fries were just OK too, it wasn't anything special. I came here again. I wouldn't get this for sure. I really like that they had the sink outside so you can wash your hands and not have to wait for the restroom. Overall, this is a cute place and I might come back if the hubs want to. read more

I had an excellent breakfast here with my wife yesterday. We went on a weekday, so please consider that for this review! Pros: + Food came out fast! + They offer salad as a side instead of hash browns with no up charge. That alone is HIGHKEY! + Parking was easy + Service on the floor was friendly and attentive +Indoor and outdoor seating + Portion size was great for the scrambles and accommodations can be made for food sensitivities + Easy to eat here if on Keto + Fresh fruit was really good Cons: - It's a walk up to order counter. This is a personal con, you might like that option, but I would rather be served and have a second to sit down at a table and look at the menu. - Seating was not that comfortable unless you were on a padded chair inside. My wife is pregnant so she's sensitive to comfort lately. Booths inside and outside are wooden, and outside the chairs are metal (which makes sense weather/ware-wise, just not comfort-wise). - The guy at the order counter was obviously new. Not a "con" necessarily, but overall didn't give us the above-and-beyond experience that would lend itself to a 5-star review. Asking for our toast "dark and dry" seemed to really throw him off. Overall, we would come back. Great for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. Good for solo meals or groups. read more

Bottom Line Up Front: Poached Kitchen has everything you would want in a cool breakfast spot, from the menu and decor to the service and aesthetics -- everything except the delicious food. The Food: Let me explain. It's not bad. But it's not as delicious as I had hoped, given the premium prices. My wife and I ordered the chicken and waffles, smash burger with fries, and a side of bacon. The chicken was lightly breaded when I prefer it to be crispy while the meat was pretty dry. It was average at best. My wife's burger was OK; again, not bad but nothing to write home about. The fries lacked the seasoning and crispness that I expect from an American-style diner. Sadly, the bacon wasn't crispy at all and a little on the chewy side. The only thing that was genuinely delicious was the waffles -- light, airy, and just a hint of sweetness. The Service: The entire staff was fast, friendly, and knowledgeable. Excellent training by the management. The Overvalued Setup: Another reason for my good-but-not-great rating is that this is a fast-casual restaurant. You walk up and order at the front counter like a fast-food joint but you wait to be seated and they bring the dishes out to you. However, you don't get a dedicated server so no one will attend to you and you'll need to flag someone down for help. Nothing wrong with that, per se ... except that the meal prices are as high as sit-down full-service restaurants. The Location: It's located at the corner of Imperial Highway and Santa Ana Canyon Road, tucked inside a shopping complex with a poorly designed parking lot. (It's beside the Bev Mo.) Parking can be difficult to find during peak hours. Inside, the place is clean and well organized, with comfortable chairs. The bathroom has a shared sink space in the open, while individual toilets are behind fully closed doors. That's a convenient set up if you just want to wash your hands. The Conclusion: I really wanted to love this place but was disappointed by the average-tasting food sold for above average prices in a fast-casual setting -- definitely less bang for the buck. Will I try it again? Possibly, to try the other menu items in hopes this was just an off day for the cook. read more

Came here around 10 on a weekday and it wasn't super crowded. You order your food and then sit down at a table. I got the Birria Omelette with fries and sourdough. You can choose your choice of potatoes or bread. Bread and fries were okay but that omelette was not it. The vegetables and meat in the omelette wasn't incorporated into the eggs so everything fell apart when you cut into it. Not great to eat and the ingredients didn't work well together. I also got the Strawberry Matcha. Not very strong flavors. Tasted like milk and strawberry extract. All of that came out to be $28 which is definitely not worth it. Also, they have a rewards app but when I tried to scan the code they said they didn't have a scanner and it's only for to go orders... Why would you have a rewards app and not be able to scan it in stores? Wouldn't recommend this place. 2 stars for the good service though! read more

There's plenty of parking. The wait isn't too bad. You can't join ahead on Yelp. When your table is ready, you get in line to order your food then you can sit down at your assigned table. The food was decent but nothing I would go out of my way to come back for especially when there's so many options for brunch. That's just my opinion. I got the eggs benedict with hashbrown and a mimosa. The hashbrown tasted plain to me. I ended up eating it with tobasco and I never eat tobasco but the hash browns just needed something. I got the petite salad for $5 and you actually get a lot with it! read more

Found this place thru Yelp and they have a few locations spread out thru So Cal. This location was located en route heading towards Vegas. We always trust our reviews on Yelp and wanted to give it a try. Service was ok. We werent necessarily greeted with open arms but being first timers here the lack of friendliness and smiles were noticeable. Took us a minute to decide on what to order- everything looked good. We ordered the Birria Benedict, French Toast, Steak and Eggs and a kids pancakes including sausage and eggs. Everything was delicious. We devoured everything off our plates. Our oldest and my husband shared the steak and eggs - they both enjoyed it. The benedict was really good and the hash browns were great- crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. We all agreed we would love to come back and try the other items on the menu. read more

A pretty good first experience. Pretty busy and crowded. We had a pancake, a classic breakfast and a veggie scramble. For drinks we had OJ and coffee. The OJ was fresh squeezed and good. They don't have Splenda, just sugar and stevia. We use Splenda. The veggie scramble was decent. The classic breakfast came with toast and hash brown- the hash browns were soggy: no good. My veggie scramble was with toast and fruit. The fruit was good and firm. The pancake was delicious too. Overall a good visit. They close at 2pm. As you are eating they are cleaning up.

EGGS BENEDICT Self seating, order at the counter kind of brunch place. We came here for breakfast (duh) and enjoyed the Benedict's. I got the house Benedict and it came as expected. The eggs were perfectly poached. And the hollandaise sauce wasn't too overpowering. They come with hash browns. The hash browns are super crispy on the outside and mushy on the inside but don't taste like much. So I take the poached egg and drizzle some yolk and chili on them. For $18 pretax/tip it was a great stop. read more

We walked up to a very short line on a Sunday morning at 8am. The cashier wasn't particularly welcoming. Took our order charged us 46 bucks (before tip) for two benedicts and an orange juice and sent us on our way. The food came out in less than 10 minutes which explains the luke warm birria and pork chile verde that topped our English muffins. Two of the eggs had uncooked white parts. The hash browns were also not hot. The gentleman delivering drinks was very nice and attentive. read more

I genuinely did not want to leave a bad review, but after everything that happened, I feel like I have no other choice. We came here for what was supposed to be a special Eid brunch with family. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing from start to finish. I first tried to handle this privately. They don't have a working phone line, it's just a bot, so I emailed them. My emails were returned back to sender. I then reached out through Yelp and was ignored there as well. At that point, I felt like I had no other way to be heard. We were originally told a 30 minute wait, which turned into nearly an hour. Once we finally sat down and ordered, they completely forgot part of our order, scrambled eggs for my two year old niece. When we asked about it, instead of apologizing, the staff member argued with us and insisted we never ordered it, even though multiple people at the table heard it. We were then made to pay again to reorder it even though everyone had their food already. The service only got worse from there. Silverware was basically tossed onto the table with not enough napkins, and we had to distribute it ourselves. We had to keep asking for water, and when it finally came, it was placed down abruptly with no words. At one point, staff even started clearing our table before we were done eating! We were in disbelief. We were clearly not done. He had a bin to put our plates in. The environment also felt uncomfortable. The staff appeared to be whispering and visibly annoyed with our table. Given that we were there for Eid along with other Muslim families, the treatment raised concerns for us. Whether intentional or not, it did not feel welcoming at all. You have to fit their "vibe" if you know what I mean. The food itself was also very disappointing. My French toast was extremely oily, chewy, and hard, I couldn't even eat it and had to send it back. My sister's chicken sandwich was also very dry and poor quality with some sour dressing in it. My dad's egg was so runny and it was $15 for one toaste with avocado and eggs. One. Felt like everything was premade. More concerning, within about 30 minutes of eating, three people in our group experienced diarrhea, which raised serious concerns about the food. We spent nearly 150 dollars for what should have been a meaningful family celebration, and instead left feeling frustrated, disrespected, and honestly sick. It's overpriced for the quality of food and service. I really tried to resolve this privately before posting and asked for a refund, but after being unable to get any response and was ignored, I felt it was important to share our experience. read more

I came for breakfast on a Saturday late morning and it was super busy! I ate at the bar since I was dining solo. The bar sits 12 people. The interior of the restaurant can seat approximately 55 people. There was a lot of staff working so my food came out quickly. Everyone was pitching in on a task keeping busy. I was mainly helped by Krystal. I ordered chai latte with oat milk along with Chilaquiles verde with scrambled eggs. I didn't get any additional protein as I wasn't overly hungry. I normally don't like black beans but theirs were good. I liked how the black beans were served in a separate bowl. However, I kept forgetting about them since they were not on the same plate. The chilaquiles were better than expected. The tortillas were nice and crisp even with the salsa verde coating the entire dish. There was a good kick to them but not overly spicy. Just enough to give good flavor. Surprised to get a half an avocado versus a few slices. The scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly. I have eaten a lot of chilaquiles in my day and these are pretty legit. Every time the chicken and waffles went by me to another patron, I wanted to grab a piece to try it. Looked really tasty! It was a really nice touch at each table received a bottle of cold filtered water. Upbeat pop music playing. Sabrina Carpenter, Lola Young, Atlas Genius. Found out it was Spotify. The station was Clean Pop 2025. If you are familiar with SD, it has a similar vibe to Snooze in Hillcrest. Really liked it! I would definitely recommend trying it out. read more

Dropped by this spot on the way back from a doctor's appointment in Orange County and although it looked like a fast food restaurant inside (which I wasn't looking for), it was good. I tried the breakfast tacos with a waffle on the side, and my friend had a veggie omelette with a pancake on the side. We both totally enjoyed our meals. I never had a Mexican breakfast taco before, but I liked all of the flavors and I'm a pretty picky eater. The only reason why I'm not giving it a five is because you had to wait at the counter and order your food and pay before you could go have a seat.

Yes, yes, yes the food is great and the service is excellent, but there were a couple of things that really bothered me during our visit. We ordered pancakes, eggs, and bacon for my daughter, but the plate came out with sausage instead. To their credit, they corrected it right away once we mentioned it, which is expected. I ordered the red chilaquiles and unfortunately didn't realize until my last bite that the avocado was missing - so, no avocado for me. Two mistakes on one order for a group of four is a little concerning. The person delivering the food probably should have noticed something like a missing avocado garnish on the chilaquiles. That said, the food was still delicious and the staff was friendly. Hopefully it was just an off moment??? read more

Been to this location twice now and had great experiences! Their staff are super kind and attentive, refilling coffee cups and providing extra napkins and to-go boxes. Their food is really yummy! We shared their sausage breakfast burrito and their lemon ricotta blueberry pancakes! The burrito had a great ratio of egg to sausage and came with a nice red salsa on the side. The pancakes are to die for!!! Huge portion, with a incredible blueberry compote and big dollop of ricotta spread on top. Absolutely incredible. Their lattes are great too! Very seldomly you find a breakfast spot with good coffee too, definitely recommend. We've been to their Irvine location as well, and had a great experience too!! :) read more

Parking was easy to find and we made reservations. The restaurant is bright, modern and very clean. You order at the counter and they'll give you a number. We were a party of five and felt our table was too small, and the staff members were very accommodating and moved us to a larger corner table! The food came out simultaneously within 10 to 15 minutes for our party of five! It was warm and delicious! My husband says a breakfast burrito is the best he has ever had and would frequent this restaurant if we lived closer. The blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes were heavenly! The pancakes were fluffy and hot, which complemented the lightly sweetened fresh blueberries and airy lemon ricotta! My aunt loved her salmon Benedict and salad. I have never seen her eat so much.

Perfect breakfast in a clean environment with fast service! When you arrive you get a number and table then walk to the counter to order. I was shocked how fast our food came out on a Sunday at 10:30am. Veggie scramble was FULL of vegetables. The staff suggested corn tortillas instead of toast to make my veggie scramble plate gluten free. The hash browns are gluten free. My husband got the morning scramble with chorizo and enjoyed it. My mom ordered the avocado toast with a poached egg on top, and the toast and avocado was huge! My stepfather ordered the simple breakfast plate. We ordered a side of scrambled egg, avocado, and fruit for our 16 month old-he enjoyed it. The melon was a little not quite ripe, but he enjoyed the strawberries and pineapple. Service was friendly. Bathrooms were clean. read more
