Had an incredible experience at this place for a Friday morning breakfast. The wait staff was incredibly welcoming, shout out to Kayla, she really took care of us. Unfortunately, the espresso machine was down, but their drip coffee and cold brew was amazing. The cold brew even comes in their own personalized bottle. My boyfriend wanted to try the breakfast burrito, and it hit perfectly! I got their yogurt bowl, and it was beautifully presented. Whatever yogurt they used was milky, creamy, and the perfect amount of flavor. The granola is nut free, and the staff ensured it was with the chef in the back before serving me. After we sat down, we had seen a couple of the pancakes come out, and apparently Kayla heard us make a comment about how incredible they looked, she kindly offered if we wanted to try one on the house. And thank goodness we did! Their house, pancake, and the Billy cake, were next level delicious. Definitely going to come back for these delicious treats. If you're in the Newport area, definitely come check this place out. Worth the wait!

I believe the chicken and waffles were good the last time I was here also. Definitely check this spot out for more of their sweet breakfast dishes

Busy Saturday at peak brunch time, but we were greeted and seated quickly…read more The environment was casual-chic with a focus on chickens (eggs?), and the space was well laid out and easily navigable. The food was excellent. We had the protein omelette and the breakfast burrito. The protein omelette was strong, and the Jurassic pork (sweet and savory seasoned bacon) stole the show there. Toast and fruit was well made and fresh. The burrito was where things went to the next level. Steak AND bacon in a burrito in this economy? Unbelievable. It was so rich and heavy I almost couldn't finish it. They didn't overcompensate for a lack of meat and eggs with a bunch of potatoes. The whole burrito was well balanced in that respect. The beans were excellent, and the cherry on top was the fresh made red chile salsa. It tied the whole experience together perfectly. Finally, the coffee was excellent as well, the only caveat being that we actually got our food before our coffee (only one barista was behind the bar and she was pretty backed up). Wonderful brunch experience, I will be back.

A baker's dozen soon enough. We ate: California Breakfast Burrito - comes with carne asada, pico de gallo infused guac, house potatoes, eggs, bacon, cheddar cheese, and sour cream. served with rice, black beans and salsa on the side. Pretty substantial and filling. Rooster Flight - the menu says choose any 3 french toast or pancakes. But you can't choose any limited-time special pancakes, so just mix and match from the regular menu. I got the brioche French toast, which was buttery. The Churro Pancake was a heavy dose of cinnamon sugar, fair warning. I liked the Strawberry Cheesecake Pancake with the cheesecake cream, graham cracker crumbs, and macerated strawberries. Portions are fine for two people. For each flight sold, $1 goes towards their parent company's nonprofit Rise & Shine. Prepare to wait if you go on a weekend. But it was nice sitting on the patio and enjoying brunch on a sunny Saturday.

We had a really nice brunch at Plums Café, and everyone in our group enjoyed their meal!…read more I ordered the Coconut French Toast, which reminded me of being back in Hawaii. It was crusted with coconut and topped with bananas, strawberries, and papaya. It also came with orange-flavored butter and maple syrup. The portion of butter was pretty small, but it added such a nice citrusy touch that I surprisingly didn't need the syrup at all! The combination of coconut and fresh fruit was delicious. For my drink, I tried the Banana Latte. It was smooth and creamy, but the banana flavor was very subtle. I was hoping for a little more banana flavor to make it stand out. Overall, we enjoyed our brunch. The menu has a nice variety of options, and it was great that everyone found something they liked. The Coconut French Toast was definitely the highlight for me. I'd happily come back and try something different next time!

It was a bit crowded, but I was able to snag a table. The service was very fast! I ordered the pumpkin soup with a berry waffle, but honestly I couldn have just gone with the soup, because the bowl is bigger than it looks. I had to take some of it home. The waffle was delicious- very crispy. I also had a pumpkin latte which was necessary after having to get up early for the appt. I wish pumpkin flavors were year round! The food was great, and I hope to come back soon! This is a wonderful spot for brunch.

Went to Haute Cakes with a buddy of mine, and this one gets talked about a lot in my friend group…read moreas another great brunch spot. It's got that vibe everyone keeps mentioning. He had recommended it too, so I was glad we finally made it out there so I could try it. The ambiance was very cool. It's tucked away in a little alleyway and has this relaxed, laid back kind of comfort to it. The inside seating is nice and I loved the design and the aesthetic, so I get why people call it the moody, comfort kind of place. There's also an outdoor patio if you'd rather sit outside. Everybody working was sweet, including the server who brought our food. For the food, I got the chorizo scramble, and I'm so glad I did because I was craving chorizo. It had amazing flavor without being overpowering, and it wasn't sweating grease like chorizo usually does. It was almost calm and composed, with that pungent chorizo spice and the scrambled egg mellowing it out, so it was a perfectly balanced scramble. I was extremely happy with it. The potatoes were good too. The avocado, on the other hand, was not it. It looked great when it came out, but the second I cut into it to mix with my chorizo and potatoes it was hard as a rock, not ripe at all, so I couldn't eat it. A little bit of a bummer, but totally okay. We also got the multigrain pancakes since my buddy said they were a must, and with a name like Haute Cakes you kind of have to. They were thick, fluffy and airy, with a lot of flavor even outside of the butter and syrup. I'm honestly not a pancake person at all, so I was thoroughly impressed that I actually enjoyed these. Great vibe, sweet staff and a really solid brunch, and I'd definitely recommend it.

The transition from the ordering queue to table service is seamless, maximizing their courtyard footprint without making guests feel crammed together. Their menu avoids the trap of over complication, focusing instead on perfectly executed daytime staples. The orange ricotta pancakes demonstrate fantastic kitchen consistency, and their espresso program keeps pace with the sheer volume of orders effortlessly. Best for: High-energy daytime dining where execution matches the coastal aesthetic. Pro tip: The line moves faster than it looks; secure your party's order before you reach the register to help maintain their operational flow.

He placed the flowers my friends brought into a beautiful vase, surprised me with a piece of cake, and even displayed my name along with the "Happy Birthday" song on the TV. We received VIP treatment throughout our visit, and it made the celebration feel so memorable. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the ambience was excellent. The atmosphere is especially beautiful at night when they have the fire area outside, creating a warm and inviting setting. I highly recommend Bayshore Lounge for a wonderful dining experience and special occasions

He sent me a very detailed email outlining my options for location at the Lighthouse, type of event (private/semi-private), pricing, and menus. He offered me his personal cell number and ensured we were on the same page every step of the way. Additionally, he allowed to come visit the Lighthouse and have a meal free of charge and tour the venue before committing to anything. I also had a lot of guests with food allergies at my party, and he made sure to label every dish, and even modified some of the preset menus for my party. Overall, my engagement party went incredibly smooth and was very stress-free. The Lighthouse staff were extremely helpful and attentive, making sure that everything was in order throughout my event.

Located in a strip mall with plenty of parking, they are open from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. every day for breakfast and lunch. We came on a Sunday morning and were seated right away. The menu offers plenty of tasty options. It was tough to decide. I ordered the Crab Benny and had my eggs soft-poached, as requested, and they were perfectly runny. The croissant was a nice change from the usual English muffin. The herb-seasoned wedge fries were also great and crispy. The Brown Butter Hollandaise sauce was creamy and flavorful. My family also enjoyed the tomato bagel and the kids' pancake. They cleaned their plate in no time. The portions were good for the price and quality. Our morning hunger was satisfied. If you are inclined to enjoy an alcoholic beverage with your meal, the menu offers some great options like brunch cocktails, mimosas, wine, and more. I'll have to try one of their house cocktails sometime. I opted to get a refreshing cold brew this time. Upon entering the dining area, I was struck by its bright, modern look and local vibes. There is also patio seating, perfect for the SoCal weather. The staff was kind and attentive. It was cool that they refer to customers as "family" when greeting them before taking orders. Our first time was a pleasant and delicious experience. I would consider returning for another meal.

Service was always great, but today the servers seemed upset and like they didn't want to be there. Our server, just greeted us and put our order in.

I still love the food, and will continue to dine, but theres no longer that hospitality feeling that was once there.
