    "Extra toasted bagel"
    Katlyn C.

    I have been going here for years and I love the coffee and quality ingredients that they use. I do think they need to replace their toaster oven though because I always order my bagel extra toasted and it always comes out as raw bread, still not toasted at all, and then I have to re-toast it at home instead of eating it on the go, which was what I was hoping for.

    Chocolate croissant. Spongey, heavy, greasy, bland.
    C H.

    I really hesitate reviewing something so low from a small, local, business but I wanted to share my thoughts in case perhaps this was a fluke? First off, the location was great. The place itself is adorable and just a quick turn off of the freeway. I ordered a chocolate croissant from Plume & Brew (the croissant was made by The Organic Grail). The service was fast & friendly; they offered to warm up the pastry which I accepted. Once receiving my croissant, I took a little bite. My first thought was that the flavor was bland; it tasted like there was no salt. Maybe it was just a weird piece? So I waited until I got home to try the rest. Once home, I took a bite from the middle of the pastry and noticed that the texture was completely off. There were no flaky layers... it felt spongey, heavy, greasy, and bland. The only saving grace was the chocolate but even with that I, sadly, threw away the rest. I would like to try more pastry's from this place out of curiosity (maybe the scones are better?) but I don't think I'll ever order a croissant again. The two stars are for the location & service. Unfortunately, it was the product itself that lacked appeal. I hope this is helpful!

    Excellent croissants. Everyone should try it. Buttery and flaky. Melts in your mouth.

    I did enjoy my Mexican mocha but it did seem a bit watered down from the moment I received it.

    The location is great as it overlooks the city of Fallbrook and is a cool midpoint between mid…read morecounty Riverside and Oceanside/Carlsbad. The restaurant itself is airy and has a cool little mini gallery on the bottom floor. The food is great and the service is FAST! Cool local hang out. Thanks for feeding us!- more than once. My favorite is always the Hawaiian breakfast items and equally as important, the coffee is GOOD.

This one of the few places in town that is a nice but casual restaurant with a good menu for breakfast and lunch, and for dinner too. The prices are reasonable too. They have a great bar with drink specials. I've tried a few cocktails and sweet wines as well as their coffee selections. Today's visit was at lunch time with a friend. I wanted to show up early to get on the wait list early so my guest didn't have to wait. To my surprise, I only had to wait 5 minutes. The wait time was much longer when we were leaving Parking does get full quickly at the top area. Just remember there is parking below, but you will have to face stairs to reach the top level to see the hostess for seating. My lunch meal that I usually get is a Chinese Chicken salad, today was no different. I usually request for extra dressing.. My husband and I like that they do serve soda water. Our server was very friendly and checked on us often. I forgot to point out that when I come with family we prefer outdoor seating if the weather permits. The reason being is that it is loud inside. There is background music, but it could barely be heard because of the echoing of people talking. It is difficult to hear the people you are there with. Today I opted to sit inside because it was warm outside. Well, it was pretty warm inside so the next time it is warm outside I will opt to sit outdoors any way. Great food, nice bar, outdoor seating and good prices. You''ll find me back here.

    This review is not about the food - I have lived here now 8 years…read more and this McD's "was" a dump = Terrible Within the last few years a new franchisee took over and it has been a tremendous difference - Initially they totally remodeled the place it is very modern and clean . Every new product (food and other) that corporate initiates is here - The new owners (not a company store) are friendly and approachable as they have now many multiple locations . This is a second generation family with McDonalds - The employees are respected and you can see that they take pride in their job , the location and personal customer service . A obvious difference in moral. Amazing what a reBoot can do for a business Unfortunately the property is shared with the ARCO - AM/PM and with that the parking lot and bathrooms are often a mess . This is not the fault of McD's it is just the reality of the location JFTR : I have never worked for McD corporation in any capacity, yet as a long time (lifelong) business owner it is amazing to see what can happen when people who care take over a business - BRAVO

And third, one of your double door entry doors seems to be broken, it won't open, and I might add, its a liability, I tried to exit out of the right side, and smacked my head on the glass, if I have any medical issues, you will be hearing from my attorney! My advice to the owners, get your SHIT together, and FIX whats wrong, I will be forwarding this review to McDonalds corporate! Regards.
