The food is incredible and the service is just as good as the food!! Couldn't ask for better, even had sweet tea on the menu. We will definitely be back to this place soon.
Best breakfast I’ve had in years. Probably some of the best pancakes I’ve ever had. Got the Banana Chocolate Chip. My partner got the breakfast burrito. You can tell the ingredients are quality as the food tastes amazing yet doesn’t make you feel heavy. Service was on point. Much. Better than most places these days.
Was in the area with my wife and this spot was suggested on google. Wait staff were friendly, efficient and attentive. Food quality is what you would expect at this price point and with generous portions. Owner was present outside and thanked us for joining. We were impressed with the clean environment and staff. Will return. Pancakes, potatoes, eggs all good options.
Country Cafe is the BEST breakfast spot in Orange County. We were visiting from out of town and were so impressed we went 2 days in a row. It has a cozy and quaint atmosphere and the service is outstanding! Anna was our waitress we had on our first visit and she was phenomenal. She served us with a smile, was attentive, and kind and to top it off it was her first day. The menu variety was incredible catering to all the different food preferences in our party. The homemade banana pancakes were out of this world! But literally everything we ordered from the Loco Moco to the Classic Breakfast to the Avocado Bacon Benedict was delicious. Even the poached eggs were cooked to perfection. The owner Annie made frequent trips to our table to ensure we were satisfied with our service and food. It is so challenging to find both wonderful food and service for breakfast and we have found it at Country Cafe! Next time we are in California we will definitely be back.

This is a fantastic hidden gem. The service is excellent, the food is delicious and well priced. The bathroom is very clean. The seating is a little cramped, but they make the best use of space. If you’re feeling sweet and savory, get the: Sweet Country Breakfast.
