Carmel Cafe - Brea, California

For the past couple of years, I've been visiting here from time to time when I forget to bring my lunch. It's one of my go-to places. I always order the Breakfast Burrito with a spinach wrap and bacon. I’ve tried other meals, but the breakfast burrito never disappoints, so I decided to stick with it. It lifts up my day. I have the choice of bacon or sausage, and I choose depending on my mood.

The environment inside is cozy. I like the choice of dishes; they are cute and colorful. The people are very nice, and they always check on how I'm doing. It feels like they really care about you, even though I only say "hi" and "thank you." lol

I was working near by and thought I’d give them a try. Definitely worth a try, I got the bacon breakfast burrito and I gotta say two thumbs up. Great customer service and very clean restaurant. Thanks for some tasty food!

Simple cafe with several fresh pastry options and breakfast and lunch menu items. We had the bagel and eggs and bagel with salmon breakfast. Both enjoyable yet the Salmon bagel had a bit much pepper. Coffee was great and presented in a simple mug you would have at home.

Its indoor dining has a "cozy" feel to it. Easy ambiance music makes enjoying breakfast a bit more relaxing. Friendly service. Price a bit on the high side but for a quiet place to start off the morning it maybe worthwhile. Family owned establishment.

This place has been popping up on my to go list for a while now and I finally got to go during my lunch. They're mostly opened for breakfast/lunch, they do coffee, tea, pastries, sandwiches soups ect and they also bake cakes. The staff was super bubbly and friendly and took my order right away. I got the sugar free hazelnut latte and a cherry chocolate turnover. The turnover is so flakey and buttery, the chocolate cherry filling is sweet, tart, and so tasty. The lattee is super creamy and pipping hot. I love this place.

Moved back to the area recently and was looking for a nice breakfast spot for a burrito. This popped up just around the corner from our house, the menu looked good, croissants looked great, so I decided to try it out. My wife and I went all out the first time and split the burrito and the breakfast sandwich, as well as a strawberry croissant. Admittedly too much food, but we wanted to try it all. It took a little longer than expected, but it was worth the wait. The croissant was warm, flaky and delicious. The sandwich was great, with a fluffy egg, great sauce and tasty bacon. I love burritos and this one did not disappoint. From the fluffy eggs to the potato hash, the homeade salsa and the final panini grill on the tortilla, it was fantastic! Looking forward to trying out more of their offerings!

The young lady who works at the cafe was courteous and welcoming. The other patron seemed disenterested, and not very welcoming.

The panini sandwich i had was bland. Furthermore, when i asked for avacado instead of Bacon, i was given what looked like Avacado, but one can hardly call it Avacado.

Yogurt parfait, consistent of strawberries, raisins, and oats, yogurt was vanilla. It was pretty small but the ingredients were higher quality so it compensated for the size. Spent around 5 dollars.

Disappointing BLT.
Small amount of bacon, and burnt.
Bacon was well overcooked with a charcoal flavor and hard crunch.
Not worth the cost.
The website menu is not the correct price. Everything is a dollare more than currently shown online.
