    I finally checked out Poached Kitchen, and it definitely lived up to the hype! While they don't serve alcohol, you honestly won't miss it because their freshly made juices, handcrafted lattes, and coffee are absolutely fantastic. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. The atmosphere is warm, lively, and family-friendly, making it an awesome spot for brunch with friends, family, or even larger groups. The staff creates a welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay a little longer. As for the food--delicious across the board! But if you're going, do yourself a favor and order the avocado toast. It was fresh, flavorful, and easily one of the highlights of the meal. If you're looking for a fun brunch destination with amazing coffee, fresh juices, great food, and a welcoming atmosphere, Poached Kitchen is definitely worth the visit. I'll absolutely be back!

    Stopped here for breakfast -- they have been open at this location, and the line is usually out the door. Walked in today and there was no line (surprise). You order your food and then find a table ... ordered the egg scramble with chicken sausage and the lemon ricotta pancakes -- both were really delicious. There is parking lot on the property, cute open and airy setting, and staff were very friendly -- will definitely be back!

    This morning we had breakfast at Poached Kitchen -- and it's quickly become a regular for us. We used to go to their Downey location, but now that they've opened one in Whittier (only 10 minutes away ), it's our go-to. First off, the space is beautiful -- tons of natural light, great music, and an upbeat, welcoming vibe that's perfect for a breakfast spot. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and super helpful. Now, the food. I ordered the breakfast burrito -- it's ginormous and packed with potatoes, sausage, chorizo, cheese, and eggs. Super flavorful and honestly one of those meals where you just want to keep eating even when you're full. We also shared the blueberry ricotta pancake for the table and it was stellar. The blueberry compote wasn't overly sweet, and the ricotta balanced everything out perfectly. To drink, I tried the dulce de leche latte (I usually go for the vanilla), and it was so good -- definitely adding it into the rotation. My friend had the eggs Benedict and was raving about it too. Overall, this is such a solid breakfast spot -- great food, great service, great vibe. Definitely a regular for me.

    I have been here twice. Overall, the food tasted good, and the ingredients were fresh and high quality.

    Excellent experience - can't believe how fast the food came out and how good it was! Dulce de leche latte was a tasty as the foam was beautiful. Churro waffle was yummy, and the Brunch Burrito was awesome with the short rib and green tomatillo salsa. Servers were all very nice and helpful. Will definitely be coming back.

    I'm so glad Poached is now in Whittier. Their food is always delicious and every bite is perfect! I've had their house Benedict and today I tried the Smoked Salmon Benedict and had to get the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, for the table, which are sublime.

    Poached has such a cute and refreshing brunch vibe -- clean, new, and bright. We arrived right around opening, and I loved the casual ordering style: order at the register like a café, grab a number, and choose your own table. We tried the classic breakfast plate with bacon, potatoes, and scrambled eggs, along with their seasonal Pumpkin & Pear Cream French Toast. The breakfast plate was large, filling, and nicely presented. The French toast was delicious and the pear was perfectly juicy, but there was a slight aftertaste from a sprinkle of seasoning (maybe nutmeg or cloves) that I personally wasn't a fan of. Service was also fast and friendly. Even though it's a more casual setup, they checked in on us regularly to make sure we were doing okay, which I appreciated. I also ordered a green tea matcha latte -- 10/10. So good. It is on the pricier side for brunch, but honestly that seems to be the norm these days. I'd definitely come back, just maybe not super often. Overall, a great spot for a cute brunch outing!

    Salmon Benedict

    This is an order at the counter and go sit style establishment. They will bring the food out to you. It is a bit pricey, but the food was delicious. I tried the birria Benedict and it was a large portion, great flavor, and a hint of spice. My husband tried the salmon Benedict and really enjoyed it. My favorite was the seasonal waffle. It was amazing. Perfectly sweet, and had a great texture balance. I would go back to that alone. Service here was also great. Food did not take long, and we were checked on a couple of times.

    Went for brunch with my grandparents and ordered the Huevos Rancheros, which were absolutely delicious and came with generous portions. Even during the busy rush hour, the staff was incredibly kind and seated us quickly so my grandparents didn't have to stand for very long while waiting. We were still able to find a comfortable seat, and our food came out surprisingly fast. The atmosphere was welcoming and made for a wonderful dining experience with my grandparents. Whether you're looking for a great breakfast or brunch with family or just want a delicious meal, this is definitely a place worth visiting. Great food, friendly service, and an all-around enjoyable experience. We'll definitely be back!

    Dubai waffle was absolutely DELICIOUS yesterday. I'll update about today!!!

    Everything is DELICIOUS . Service is courteous and quick. Their waffles are nice and airy. Not cheap but good.

    Amazing morning family date. We enjoyed our visit but there were a long wait. When we finally got in we order at the cashier first and then they give us a table number to sit on. We found ours and enjoyed a fresh cup of cool water. Staff were friendly and helpful. There's plenty of parking space as long as there's movement happening otherwise, there's no parking haha. We did go in a Sunday Morning so that would explain a lot. We liked our visit and we enjoyed the time. Overall was good.

    First time trying Poached. Order at the front counter, take your # & find a seat /table. Some tables had a RESERVED sign ‍ Ordered Salmon Benedict w/hash browns 7/10 towards the benedict because the wilted /wet taste to bite from the greens was pretty gross! The hash browns 9/10 Fresh Orange juice 8/10 Scrambled eggs were delicious! Lemon ricotta pancake was 5/10 taste was similar to reg pancake (no hint of ) Ambiance was inviting & cute! They are going to need black out shades for when the sun is out because where we sat, it was way too hot by the window.

    Black beans, chilaquiles with sunny side up eggs. Matcha latte iced!

The orange juice tasted nice and cold and fresh. Very cute decor, the server was very kind and attentive. The pepper shaker cap fell off and dumped tons of black pepper on my friend's hash brown chips and they did not hesitate to bring out another order! Super kind. My only bummer was the toast on my Bacon Up Toast Breakfast was not... toast. It was very lightly toasted. Could have been WAY more toasted to hold the weight of all of the avocado spread, tomatoes, bacon, and onions that was stacked on top! Definitely needed a sturdy toast base so it was hard to pick up to eat. With the business being named TOAST, I would think they could nail the toast more. Food tasted 10/10 and will definitely be coming back. I will just ask for the toast to be more toasted for the future.

(See attached picture). This restaurant is in such an obscure location, I can't believe I was going to a Burrito Track across the street for so many years not knowing this place existed. Friendly staff and prompt service. The unfortunate negative is it's location and I'm referring to parking. There must be 8 business crammed into this lot. With a bar to the right and a laudermat on its left finding a parking spot is like winning the lotto. Now layer in one driveway and you have to make a 3 point turn just to navigate to leave. The short answer is I will absolutely go back to this place as long as there is a parking space to be had.

The food was good, the atmosphere was welcoming, and it actually felt like a cool little local café. Now the whole place feels completely different. Did it get new owners or new management?

We ordered the Everything Croissant and the C&S Grilled Cheese, and both were honestly terrible. Absolutely no flavor. The Everything Croissant is supposed to have eggs, onion, bell pepper, cheese, tomato, house spread and avocado, but somehow the whole thing still tasted like nothing. The C&S Grilled Cheese was even more disappointing. Their menu specifically says it comes with soy chorizo, spinach, bacon, cheddar and spicy buffalo cheese. There was absolutely NO soy chorizo in ours. That used to be one of the things that gave the sandwich its flavor. Instead, what we got looked thrown together and tasted nothing like what we remembered. And several things we used to like are gone from the menu altogether. Then you notice the B health department rating and think, okay... what exactly happened here?
