I thought the breakfast burrito I tried here was well suited for my day. Crispy hash browns, scrambled eggs, and bacon in what I considered a large size. The service was from someone like me and I recognized it for what it was. In the Brea Mall Food Court, not getting a smile didn't faze me. The employee thanked me, which was polite. Whoever made the burrito did a great job - you made my morning. Thank you! read more

We've been eyeing this place for a while now and decided it was time to give it a try. It's not very fancy and slick-looking like other major chains, but it looks clean, and it always seems like there's a small line. It was late afternoon, so we went for a couple of smash burgers and fries. There was a line forming, so it was a little confusing where to pick up the food, but we figured it out. They'll just call our what you ordered and walk away, so stay close so I know which bag is yours. Everything is made after you order, so they aren't super-fast. The smash burger really was smashed, even the bun, but it tasted OK. I love the fries! Partially because I like what I can scrunchy fries. This is the only place in the food court if you want a burger, and it serves its purpose well. I'm rarely at the mall early enough for breakfast, but their menu looks good for a quick service place. read more

The meal didn't start off on the right foot with The Breakfast Factory not being open at the posted hours. I had to read a bit more in the book I had brought and check back in before they said they were ready to take orders. The other not-so-nice bit was the hefty extra percentage for using a credit card. It was far above what I've seen at other food joints. I mean--at this point everybody uses a credit card for tap to pay. Having to pay extra for what is an everyday occurrence seems punitive. I will say that once I got to my burrito I was pleasantly satisfied. It had some good heft to it and tasted super delicious. I opted for the sausage variety with some green peppers, onions, and spinach added with the already customary eggs and tots. Every bite was a delight, especially with that green salsa. The service was good. I felt like everyone at the counter was efficient and had my order to me in a relatively reasonable amount of time. They also refilled my soda pretty quickly. As for the ambiance, it's a food court in a mall so I didn't expect much. It was neither spectacular or bad. It just was a typical food court dining area. So, yeah, I might get this burrito again but probably not when they first open because of the delay in their process and I'll maybe remember to bring cash next time. The burrito is good and all. There are just a lot of hurdles to get to it. read more

Michelle took our order, we were hungry before going Christmas shopping never been to this place before. After we ordered Bagel and cream cheese for baby girl and I ordered the Loaded tater tots the line got long and busy. Our order took a while but Michelle was so sweet and helpful in choosing what to order. When I got it I was shocked how much they gave me it was filling, little spicy, had a lot of flavors. The bacon and onions were deliciously cooked and the egg was perfectly runny. I definitely recommend this mall breakfast place absolutely delicious and super friendly service. Thank you for our delicious breakfast and quick and friendly service. Definitely will be back here again. Have a beautiful day, be kind to everyone :) Aloha read more

We eat out every day for lunch and have been craving a good mom & pop style burger with shredded lettuce and dressing. Last week we went to a place that was supposed to be the best in Brea. It was busy, the burger was big, but the patty lacked flavor and it was extremely dry (we had to use ketchup with every bite). This week, my business partner mentioned he had great smash burgers at the mall. Generally mall food is expensive and lackluster, but The Breakfast Factory was everything you would want. The price was extremely reasonable for the mall and they have Coke products. The fries were 10/10 if you like crispy and well seasoned and a huge portion. The burger was perfect and juicy with the perfect amount of spread, shredded lettuce, pickles and onions, and the patty was flavorful and not extremely thin. With all the burger options out there, this was a very good burger. Will be back again next time I want a good burger. read more

We had smashburgers here and it was really good. The fries are excellent too, nice and crispy. This place should be called Burger Factory!

This place has amazing breakfast burritos. Super fresh quality ingredients. You just don't expect it at a mall. I ordered delivery not knowing it came from a freaking mall. It was the perfect breakfast burrito. Perfect amount of ingredients. Kind of blown away it's in a mall. It's a must try. Whomever built this menu, crushed big time. I don't take food lightly. Very impressive read more

Initially, this place looked really good to me. The thought about having smash burgers and breakfast burritos, you can't beat that. However, I was disappointed with how an bacon avocado burger by itself costs nearly 15 dollars, and they don't even give you a double patty. It is quite disappointing and a complete rip off. The taste of the burger wasn't any better than what you can get at Five Guys. It's probably the first and last time I order a burger from here. The burger wasn't really anything special. It was just nice how thr avacados were placed inside it. Service was ok, but they don't even serve water cups. I was wondering why the place was empty compared to other places; but it seems clear why. read more

The Breakfast Factory - Save your money or go to Five Guys, this burger shouldn't be close to 15 dollars. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brea, California

I had not even noticed this place until today. I was at the Brea mall after an event and we were hungry and craving a breakfast burrito has it was still technically morning (it was the 11am hour). I was surprised that this place was delicious!! The burrito had sausage, eggs and tater tots. I love tater tots!! Usually I'll pass on potatoes, but not tater tots. The green salsa tasted good on it. I'd definitely go back! This location is in the food court of Brea Mall so there is lots of seating. read more

Burrito was really good and stuffed. Ordered this veggie with meats burrito and a Machaca burrito. Both had really great flavor and not oily. I do have to say that I agree with one of the reviews here, the salsa's are really not that great, the red salsa tasted too much like tomato and the green salsa has a nice spice to it but no flavor. This place is a good option if you are looking for a breakfast burrito read more

Ordered a breakfast burrito this morning and it was good but when I looked at my receipt, there was a hidden fee that was added to the sales tax.

I'm sorry this is not good. It's my first time. I would not eat this again. The burger is okay ... nothing special at all. $9 for hamburger. I'm not happy with this. You guys need to do better than this. And the service is pretty not nonexistent. read more

After doing some holiday shopping at the mall, we stopped by the food court and discovered The Breakfast Factory which I didn't recognize from before. The all day breakfast burrito's called out to me! Cheeseburger ($6.99): Smashed patty accompanied with cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato, chopped grilled onions, and sauce. I would have preferred whole lettuce as the shredded got a little messy but the overall flavors of the burger was quite good - tasted similar to In-N-Out. Best eaten right away as we did takeout and parts of the bun were soggy. Sausage Breakfast Burrito ($10.99): Decently sized burrito filled with sliced sausages, tater tots, cheese, and eggs rolled up in a tortilla. Was definitely glad the tater tots didn't overpower the burrito as there was a good amount of eggs included. Comes with red or green salsa - both had a nice kick. Good bang for your buck, especially for the food court. read more

The Breakfast Factory, a recent addition to Brea Mall, intrigued me with its menu featuring smash burgers. I ordered the cheeseburger combo and made a request to remove the tomatoes. They were still included, and I ended up having to remove them on my own. the fries were okay and seemed right from the freezer. Nevertheless, the burger itself proved to be good, complemented by a flavorful sauce. At $14, the combo's price feels excessive, prompting me to consider ordering just the burger next time or opting to the other food court options. Given that it's a food court, the level of activity can vary depending on the day of the week. However, there are usually plenty of seating spots available to accommodate diners. read more

Located inside a mall, is was super easy to find and what they serve is amazing. The loaded tots was literally my favorite breakfast food just mixed up. Since the loaded tots were enough to get me full I didn't get to try their other options such as the smash burger and breakfast burritos. I came out here to pick things up for work so not out here often but if I come back again for work, definitely will be back to try other delicious foods! Staff were really chill and seemed happy to serve. read more

I picked up a Chorizo Burrito here and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was! It was loaded and the portion was good. I wish it was wrapped a little better but the owner was friendly and I wanted to support their business! It's located inside the Brea Mall Food Court. read more

Wish they didn't close earlier than the rest of the food court. Do really like their burgers.

Never noticed this spot until today! SUPPER yum and the girl at the register was really nice. We got the chorizo burrito and a sausage burrito cut in half and shared it. So glad we did because both were really good and couldn't pick which one was better. Def recommend if you love breakfast burritos this is the spot read more

What was I thinking? Lol I should've opted for one of their breakfast burritos the first time here, because the smashed burger meat patty was below average. It was too thin and felt like it was lacking juicy flavor, and texture. The crinkle cut fries were bomb though! Hot and crispy but soft in the inside, so yummy!! They were made to order and tasted exactly that, fresh! So 3 stars for the fries and if I return to try their burritos, I'll for sure update my rating and review. read more

I thought I'd never find a spot that could mess up a chorizo burrito but found it. I've never had a more basic burrito (sometimes basic is good) for this price point. Half my burrito was full of cold cheese. Sadly I think this restaurant will be closed like a lot of other mall restaurants after a few months. read more

The Breakfast Factory is located inside the Brea mall food court. Despite its name it also serve burgers and fries. The menu did not particularly scream breakfast and as a fan of a good breakfast burrito I felt compelled to try it. I ordered the bacon breakfast burrito and it was tasty. Inside had crispy tater tots and I love tots! Generous amount of bacon and eggs and the skin had a nice crispy on it from being on the grill. All ingredients piping hot except for the cheese. It was not melted at all. My only complaint was the salsa. It's not spicy enough and very generic. However it was still a pretty darn good breakfast burrito. I know that for many who loves breakfast burritos the salsa can really make or break the experience. With that said it was still satisfying enough that I wouldn't mind ordering it again if I happen to be at the mall early in the day. read more

The service is VERY slow. I saw 2 people have problems with credit and debit card processing. Burger patty is smashed to about 1/8 in deep. Maybe 3oz. Of meat. Very tasty but, won't be back. read more

Place is a bit pricey. Smashburger was pretty good but shake shack makes a way better one. Idk what oil they use for the tater tots but I didn't feel well after eating them. I would likely not come back here again. Brea Mall please invest in healthier food options like Luna Grill for the food court. I promise more people will eat there. read more

The smash burger is delicious! Highly recommend. Everything tastes fresh. The crinkle fries were great as well. Definitely will order again.

Hello, I'm writing a review after receiving a breakfast burrito with the most disgusting bacon I've ever had and a raw tortilla. The bacon was the equivalent of meat scrappings, looked days old, and was chewy. Coming from a restaurant that only offers breakfast burritos this is pathetic. My burrito went to the trash. read more

My only complaint is that my meal is over. The meat was perfectly cooked and everything was constructed perfectly. The price is very affordable for the mall. Simple and easy. Buy the burger dammit. read more

OMGGG THIS IS THE BEST BREAKFAST BURRITO IN TOWN!!! Located in the Brea mall food court and opens an hour before the shops so you can have breakfast then walk it off doing retail therapy lol. I absolutely love how they smash a layer of tater tot's in the tortilla ensuring every bite has that crunch. The filings were generous and piping hot! Many choices of salsas and sauces too! I got the veggie and you can taste how fresh the veggies were. My fellow foodie got the impossible burrito and appreciated that they had this as an option! If their burritos are this good I am now wondering how good their smash burgers are....stay tuned for that review. read more

I DID NOT KNOW THEY SERVED BURGERS I was walking around the food court and decided to stop and read their menu. I was pleasantly surprised to find they offered smash burger combos with fries/tater tots as a side and drink included (Unlimited refills) I ordered the cheeseburger combo and the flavor Reminds me of a smash version of a ruby's diner American classic burger. All for about $14(fair price for all the food). read more

Located in the Brea Mall Food Court flanked between Mongolian BBQ and Pizza. Solid place for breakfast burritos and smash burgers. On 2 separate occasions, I've had a Double Cheeseburger with all the fixings (lettuce, onions, tomatos, pickles, and their sauce) combo with fries and drink. Lots of flavor in the meat. Perfectly smashed. Buns were warm and soft. All the ingredients worked together. On a personal note, I could've done without the cheese - not a fan of American cheese - definitely would've preferred cheddar. Fries were well cooked however my batch was a bit on the salty side. I've also had the Sausage Breakfast Burrito. Good size. Filled with scrambled eggs, tater tot style potatoes, breakfast sausages and cheddar cheese. Comes with a side of green or red salsa (kind of spicy). Really tasty and satisfying. Walk up counter service, order, pay and wait. Food is made to order so the wait is 5+ minutes depending on food order and number of customers in front. Ambiance is typical food court in a shopping mall. Brea Mall is my go-to mall and I'm a bit partial to it. Food court has lots of tasty choices. It's evident as a good place for food as it's usually busy. Really wish Hot Dog On A Stick would make a return... Give The Breakfast Factory a try. You'll be pleased. read more
