Finally got to try Poached in Anaheim and wow -- it did not disappoint! The food was so great-- everything tasted fresh, was full of flavor and beautifully plated. Everything we ordered was cooked perfectly. Service was super quick and the staff was really friendly. We didn't have to wait long at all, which is always a plus when you're hungry! Also, random but important -- their restroom was really clean. You don't always get that at busy spots, so that stood out to me too. Definitely coming back. If you haven't been, go check it out! read more

Incredible. Nice space, friendly staff and great vibe. My friend and I both decided on the salmon eggs benedict. It was so good and it came with hashbrowns. I had the Dulce de Leche iced coffee which was so good and my friend really enjoyed her strawberry matcha. Highly recommend this place. read more

Solid place for brunch and very friendly servers. We sat up at the bar and the barista suggested delicious coffees and a chai latte. Food portions were pretty generous and tasty. I would come back and try the other dishes on the menu. Plenty of parking in the plaza. Lots of seating but it can get pretty busy. read more

Have been here many times w friends and family. The quality never disappoints!! They have a great seating system for the weekends when it's busy and are super organized so things don't get confusing. They have great service and are very fast with food coming out. There is a great consistency with the quality and presentation of the food. I absolutely love the design inside and the arrangement of seatings! Will be back here very very soon! read more

Good food but extremely poor service. We asked for butter on the side and it was not delivered with our meal. Servers were running around and it was impossible to get their attention. About half way through breakfast our coffee had not yet arrived. We finally got a server and they said they would be back shortly. Our coffee arrived after we were done eating. I let our server know that we were finished and she said would you like me to take it off the bill and I said that would be nice so she grabbed my coffee and came back with a revised receipt. I was a bit taken back. I thought she was comping the coffee as it was already poured and served. So much for customer service. We have choices so we won't be back for a while. read more

This place was ok. We stopped in randomly because we were hungry from hiking. With how expensive the food was I figured it would have been amazing. I got the Chicken Cobb Salad. I was alittle thrown off that they would put a poached egg in it. The soda selection is very lack there of. Only Sprite & Coke.. very odd. They have limited seating. Seems more outside under the awning than inside. One thing I noticed was that the food comes out QUICK. You put ur name in, then get in line to order. When u reach ur table the food came out. That was cool. It's a nice place to try but I doubt I would be back. Prob doesn't help that I'm not much of a breakfast person and they're mainly breakfast stuff read more

First time at Poached and I ordered the Salmon Benedict. The positives first: the hollandaise was spot on -- creamy, tangy, and rich without being heavy -- and the hashbrowns were excellent, crispy and golden on the outside with a fluffy middle. The salmon, though, was a letdown. It was so intensely smoky and salty that it overpowered the eggs and hollandaise rather than balancing with them. On top of that, I found a large fish bone in my portion, which made it tough to enjoy and hard to eat with confidence. Overall, I'd come back for the hashbrowns and maybe try a different Benedict, but I wouldn't order the salmon again. Nice ambiance. Service-wise, I sat at bar and no one attended to me without me asking first. read more

My photography skills don't capture it, but this might have been the most picture perfect classic breakfast I've ever been served. It can't be an easy feat to make this plate with no greens or color to look pretty, but somehow they did. The sunny side up eggs were perfect, the hash browns were perfect, it was all pretty perfect...looking and tasting. And orange juice was fresh squeezed sunshine (I do wish though that it was served in a sparkling juice glass rather than the totally unnecessary single-use plastic cup). I also really appreciate that they offer chicken sausage as an option for those of us who don't consume pork. The patio was tidy and sparkly, which did not go unnoticed by me! Super appreciate. I only wish that they offered table service that includes a server who takes your order at the table, and who reliably provides a stream of coffee refills. Instead you order at the counter and get a number on a stick, and hope that someone walking by could kindly do you a favor; I prefer an assigned server to be more invested in tending to your needs. Ultimately, I love that they: use higher quality ingredients (Vital Farms and Mary's free-range chicken), offer a thoughtful menu, care about presentation, and prioritize cleanliness. I am happily returning to this neighborhood breakfast spot! read more

What a great find! This place seems like a great breakfast brunch place! You can tell it' will be a busy place during the weekend. It has a nice outdoor setting and have windows that can be opened up to the outside leaving a nice breeze! Place seems very clean. You order first, and then go sit down. The red flag here is that ask for a tip before the service they give you. They do come serve your food but they don't come as often around to get our refills. After we were done eating, they stopped coming around, and we wanted our drinks refilled since we paid for them to be endless (coffee and peach ice tea). I ordered the chilaquiles rojo and the breakfast burrito. The chilaquiles was good, didn't add any protein and it was a good portion size. Husband enjoyed the breakfast burrito but he said there was something missing that would have made it better. Would go back and try something else on the menu. read more

My family and I love this place the food is delicious and the staff is super nice and friendly the waitlist goes fast .

We were looking for a new brunch spot and I think we found a new hit. This place was a little out of the way but well worth it. The service here was very nice and welcoming they let us sit down to have time to explore the menu because it was our first time there. We ordered the birria Benedict, chicken and waffles, and a classic waffle as well the Benedict was very good and the heat and spicy from the meat complemented the Hollandaise very well it's was punchy and had a nice balance. The chicken and waffles were also very good with a sweet syrup and savory gravy to go with it also but waffles were light and crunchy. Both were sweet but not overpowering. I think everything was just right and close to perfect I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to go for brunch. read more

I've visited this location twice already and I must say I'm a fan. My first visit was on a Sunday afternoon. It was crowded and we had to waitlist. My second visit was on a random weekday morning. I have to say I prefer dining here during the week. It's less hectic and more of a relaxing vibe. It's a place where you order the food at the cashier and they bring food to you with minimal service. The interior was small but they also offer outside seating. I had the veggie scramble and the morning scramble. Both were really good! They have a way of making magic with simple ingredients. The food came out way better than the menu described it. Oh and I tried their pancakes. It was perfection - not runny in the middle or overcooked and dry. Their coffee was pretty good too. I can't wait to try other entrees! read more

The counter service is convenient. I placed my order got my number plaque and chose a table out on the patio. The servers brought me water, my coffee and my food very quickly and checked on me multiple times. The food was great and the patio is covered and a nice breeze coming through. Definitely gonna be my go to place when I'm visiting. read more

Many great choices for breakfast and lots of drink options. We like sitting in the patio when the weather is nice. It did take a while to get one of our orders but that won't stop us from going again. read more

My first visit to this up-and-coming chain did not meet with expectations. The eggs benedict was lackluster, especially the sauce (which was so minimal at first that we had to request more). The absence of fountain sodas is a huge issue for me at breakfast time, so I deducted one star for that reason (especially as the person taking our order hated being asked about their drink options). I also didn't appreciate the fries coming out ice cold, and likewise we had to unfortunately request hot fries. It wasn't busy, maybe 10% of the restaurant (including the outside) was occupied. Just wasn't what we were looking for. However there is room for improvement, and I'd consider a second visit in the future. read more

Three stars. I really wanted to love this place because the food was honestly delicious, and the orange juice was to die for. That part was amazing. But the service completely ruined the experience. When we walked in, the lady at the front barely said anything and just told us to sit at table one. She didn't show us where it was or explain how anything worked. We were left wandering around trying to figure it out, and she seemed annoyed when we asked questions. After we finally sat down, we waited for about 15 minutes, thinking someone would come take our order. No one did. We just sat there feeling awkward and confused until we finally went up to ask, and only then were we told that we were supposed to order at the front the whole time. It made us feel really embarrassed, like we were doing something wrong when no one had explained it to us. Also, I ordered a kids' grilled cheese because I didn't have a big appetite, and it somehow ended up being bigger than the adult meals, which was kind of ridiculous. read more

Easy check in with the host and ordering with cashier at the front. Line moved fast. Didn't realize they'd ask for payment and tip before service. I tipped 20% expecting service that matched the design of the restaurant and buzzy, crowded atmosphere. Sadly, it wasn't. The once the food was dropped off, we never heard from a server again. Was a challenge and a wait to request to go boxes at the end of our meal. Water in those sleek glass bottles was brought very fast. Food was brought fairly quick also. My cobb salad was delicious and unique. The salad greens were already dressed with what tasted more balsamic like than typical ranch dressing served with cobb salad. Nice touch. The boiled egg had a soft runny yolk. I'm not a fan of those. Didn't really have a dish to put it in so just kinda pushed it around the large bowl as I ate the generous portion of salad. Daughter enjoyed the classic breakfast. Said the hash browns, bacon, and eggs were tasty. I wish I'd heard the cashier over the noise in the restaurant because I asked if the pear lemonade was pink or yellow because I don't care for pink lemonade. She must've said "it's pink", but I mistakenly heard "it's pear" lol. So, I was shocked when the pick lemonade arrived, but while I didn't enjoy it, it wasn't the worst pink lemonade I've ever had. Glad they educated me that pink lemonade is pear lemonade. First time I've seen it referenced that way. Won't order that again. Just not a fan of it. May return in the future. Not sure of that read more

First time trying this location, loved the attentive service and the delicious food. All staff was super kind and welcoming. The food & the strong coffee never disappoint. Major bonus for the laid back vibe, the cleanliness, and the background music. I really enjoyed brunch today :) The chilaquiles verdes were tasty and came with two eggs, a small side of avocado and a bowl of black beans topped with cheese. The pickled red onion gave the dish the perfect kick. The cherry cheesecake pancakes were fluffy and delicious! The pancake itself wasn't overwhelmingly sweet, but the cherry paste balanced it well. read more

The food is good, and everything is so clean and i had a great time with my friends, that morning.

We stopped in here yesterday (Friday) for brunch around noon. My husband got the crispy chicken sandwich with fries and he enjoyed it. It was a very big portion of chicken. I tried the egg sandwich-which was also very good. Mine came with hash browns. I usually love hash browns but these were more like potato cakes-super soft and mushy on the inside and a little crunchy on the outside...I am not a fan because for me hash browns should be crispy. I did like how they bring glasses and a bottle of water for each table which is nice for a fast casual place. Overall we enjoyed the food and the atmosphere-it seems like a popular, busy spot. read more

Casual cafe with sufficient seating inside and a few seating areas outside. Very different process where you order first then you get seated. Parking is sufficient since they're in a plaza. Staff is very friendly and I appreciate that they check on you a good amount of times during your meal. I love the food here that it's consistent with their Irvine location. Chilaquiles rojos is my go to meal 11/10 stars! I love that it comes with toppings such as avocado, radishes, cilantro, and cotija cheese. The blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes are a good amount of sweetness which is balanced well with the citrus of the lemon. I love their Dulce de leche coffee. The only little thing I would say that the size is quite small if you get it to go. My bf loves any of the egg benedicts from here as well. I will try to come here again when I'm in the area! read more

Nice brunch place, too bad we couldn't make a reservation but I guess that's true for many brunch places. So we just tried to come later, put our name down and walked around the plaza for steps. As we finished our lap about 15 minutes we were able to get seated. We have to order the food at the counter first before we get seated, so that may be one of the downside we didn't really like. The menu was big, and on a Sunday I kinda want to take my time looking at the menu sitting down instead of feeling rushed to order right away at the counter. I wished I had known this before so I could have used the 15 minutes walking and waiting time to look at the menu and decide what I wanna order. So just a suggestion, while you wait, check out the menu first so as soon as your name is called they walk you in to the counter and you will have to order right away. Otherwise, food was great and nice big portion. Omelet was flavorful, they made the orange juice on site so very fresh. read more

This has been our "go to" breakfast spot since it opened. Not sure what's going on with it, but something has changed. We went back for breakfast and selected the salmon Benedict and the chile verde benedict. Both with hash browns. Poached always had the best hash browns. Seasoned and crispy. Unfortunately, they've changed to hash browns that were bland and unseasoned. They were just "meh". My Chile verde Benedict was excellent, full of flavor, some spice, nice chunks of tender pork and poached eggs cooked perfectly. My wife's salmon Benedict wasn't as good as we had previously at Poached. They may have changed the salmon used as she reported that the salmon wasn't as Smokey and flavorful as we'd remembered. Also the poached eggs were not the "medium" requested as parts of the whites were a bit runny. All in all a good breakfast but a bit concerning in these new degradations. Wish they would bring back the old hash browns!Oh, and they still have excellent coffee! Enjoy! read more

Large portion, no need to order more than this for a normal 150 pound appetite. Service is nothing special though, and a lot of Mexican service staff constantly walking around and chatting in Spanish among themselves, little distracting actually, owner please take note and reign in a little, thanks! read more
