Their wine list is truly endless. You can sit inside at the bar, at a gorgeous table with air conditioning, under their adorable pink-striped umbrellas on the patio, or in an extended patio off the sidewalk with plenty of seating. You will be treated with exceptional service regardless of seating. Their brunch menu is delicious. Their chive biscuit breakfast sandwich is incredible, as is their breakfast burrito, chilaquiles AND biscuits and gravy. To be fair, we visit most regularly for a cheese board and meat with a glass of wine. Recently enjoyed the ceviche and smash burger with side-winder fries which was hand crafted and filling. Even our young boys enjoyed every bite. On Sunday's (1st and 3rd of the month) they have live music which is wonderful. Last thing, the cellar cookie is incredible. It's hard to just drop in for a coffee and not leave with one when available. You will never regret a visit to The Cellar! One of the best places in San Clemente.

We went gloriously overboard: the open-faced salmon lox sandwich, strawberry evalope, chocolate Elfroy , and mille-feuille. The salmon sandwich was fresh and flavorful, though the cream could have been ever so slightly thicker and the ciabatta bread slightly more toasted. The strawberry evalope and chocolate Elroy were terrific: delicately crisp croissants, butter beautifully balanced, and fillings/toppings sweet but thankfully restrained from becoming sugar bombs. But the mille-feuille was utterly incredible and the reason to write this review. It was like the perfect vanilla ice-cream cone flavor transformed into 1000 crispy, buttery, flaky layers, with a restrained custard that let every texture and flavor shine. I'm not even a vanilla fan and it was pure joy. A transcendent pastry experience--and worth every calorie we pretended not to count. Five stars.

Here's a professional review you could write for Quiznos in San Clemente: I recently visited the Quiznos location in San Clemente, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. The food quality was disappointing, as the sandwich I ordered was both stale and lacking in flavor. Additionally, the cleanliness of the restaurant left much to be desired. The floors were visibly dirty, and the dining area was poorly maintained. What made matters worse was the unprofessional behavior of the staff. The employees were not only inattentive but also rude when I attempted to address my concerns. Their dismissive attitude made it clear that customer service is not a priority at this location. Overall, I would not recommend this Quiznos to anyone. There are far better options nearby that offer both a more pleasant atmosphere and a higher standard of service. read more

I was in the area helping out and realized I hadn't been to a Quiznos in a long time, so my colleague and I decided to stop in. We both ordered the zliders deal, and I was pleasantly surprised by the variety--they had about five different zlider options to choose from. The combo came with two zliders, chips, and a drink, and it was less than $11, which felt like a solid deal. The zliders were fresh and delicious, which made the meal even better. We came during the lunch rush, but there wasn't much of a line, so the visit was quick and easy. It seemed like a small, family-run spot--the wife was preparing the food while the husband handled the register--which gave it a nice, personal touch. Overall, a simple and satisfying stop for a quick bite. read more

Bathrooms are modern and clean. Had the bbq burger. A smash burger style, double patty. Definitely fresh and served hot. The "homemade" bbq sauce was delicious, not overly sweet and refreshingly mild at a time when bbq sauces are often overpoweringly spicy, and the onion rings were crispy. I would have preferred the bacon cooked crispy to offset the fat but the quantity was good. I also prefer more of an aged cheddar with a stronger taste but it was not the highly processed orange "cheese" you often see in cheeseburgers so that was good.

The courtyard that second reef deli is located in has spaces for a handful of interesting food spots and could be a great place for people to socialize and hang out.
