Food House Restaurant

Persian restaurant

👍👍 Amazing home style middle eastern food. The owner and her two kids are very hands on and sincerely care about the customer's experience. This reminds me of a tastier mom and pops version of Raffi's (Glendale). They make everything in house (including ice cream and yogurt).

Tommy and Atticus

Bakery

😐 We had the sandwich, the almond croissant, and some espresso. The sandwich was disappointing - it was a bit dry and seemed to be missing the pickled onions; the bread was pretty good; but it was very overpriced at $13. The croissant was extremely dry - I don’t know how else to describe it other than...

Santa Ana Brunch Club

Brunch restaurant

👍👍 This place is a real diamond in the rough, amongst mechanic shops and on a busy street. That said, I'm glad we trusted the reviews! Mothers Day Brunch here was nothing short of an amazing experience. Dom, the owner, really loves what he does, and his food reflects that. Mom had steak and eggs, siste...

👍👍 Just stumbled upon a hidden gem in the OC that's more than just a coffee shop – it's a flavor-packed journey to Oaxaca's vibes! When you walk in, it’s like you’re being transported to a cafe in Oaxcaca, Mexico. It’s warm and cozy. Love the decor and ambiance!! It’s a great place for breakfast, lunc...

I also appreciate that they have other vegan options like the chocolate chip cookie which is totally yummy. The decor is super cute (be sure to check out the bathrooms)! The girl wi...
