Editorial Review for Costa Mesa Omelette Parlor – by Amanda Knoles

In Short
This cozy spot is tucked away in a mini-mall and specializes in breakfast favorites, including omelettes, pancakes and waffles. Lace curtains on the windows and historic photos of Costa Mesa adorn the walls, recreating the ambience of a Colonial-era parlor. The business-lunch crowd feasts on burgers, sandwiches and salads, while locals line up on weekends for the signature omelettes and the triple-decker club sandwich.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Not what you would expect from a Costa Mesa strip mall- this place is an absolutely adorable spot with a lot of character and plenty of flavor. The interior instantly transports you to a different day and age far from the commercialized California that permeates the scene of every street nowadays. There are many different omelettes to choose from with names and indredients that are eccentric and fun, and waffle combos that are sinfully succulent. There is a lunch menu, but why try anything but breakfast at a place with a signature breakfast dish in it's name?

Pros: Food with a side of fun!

Cons: crowds during typical breakfast hours

I have been searching for a place like this in orange county. No more cookie cutter restaurants for breakfast that doesn't give you that much food for a lot of money for us. I recommend this place to everyone. It is so great. The breakfast is so yummy and you get a full plate of food for just around 6-7 bucks. The inside is super cute with the wooden booths and the antique-ky look I just love it.

Pros: the food, the amount of food, service, cozy ambience

Cons: location it's a little hidden but not too hard to find
