Pop's Cafe

Great little breakfast and lunch place. It opens up early in the morning and closes at 1:30 in the afternoon. Very classical looking to1950s diner. Had a great pastrami and BLT sandwiches for lunch once. But the first time we went in for breakfast. I had the corned beef hash and my wife had sausage biscuit and gravy with eggs on the side. Both were awesome but the best thing we had was the deep fried french toast with what Jose recommended chocolate and strawberries on top that was the best.

A truly authentic experience at an old cafe that shouldn’t be missed. The breakfast fare is delicious, the coffee is great, and the sourdough toast with some atacado I had this time was exactly what I needed. Jose provided excellent service and everyone is so nice. Check this place out and keep it local!

2 stars for bad customer service. This place is good, food very delicious. Me and my bf come here every 2 weekends for breakfast after church. We order about the same thing. We saw the waitress who attended us very well last time we came, hoping it was going to be her again today. Unfortunately it wasn’t her. Today we didn’t quite received good customer service you usually expect from eating out. We got attended by a mexican waitress thinking okay she might be cool cause she my people. My bf went in to check out the place for seating and he asked her about the wait time. The same waitress who attended us gave him smirky attitude by telling him “I don’t know, they can tell you” and pointed off to another employee, like she didn’t care. I don’t want to do nor say this, but idk if it was because my bf is black. Which I hope that’s not the case. But after my bf came back to the to get me, he seemed upset. We were able to sit down by the register and had to almost wait about 20 or so minutes, to get noticed. Which we understand it’s busy. That waitress after waiting for quite a while came and handed us the menu with 1 set of utensils. And she gave them to me, my bf didn’t get one so I gave them to him and I had to ask for another pair . 10 minutes later she just puts them on the table and walks away, right when I was going to ask her that we are ready to order. We had to wait even more. Finally getting to us I asked her in Spanish, knowing she spoke Spanish to make her comfortable. I ordered a # 7 (siete) but I received #8 (ocho) like how does siete sound like ocho. So she messed up my whole order. But for my bf he asked the Irish potatoes. He received hash brown. So we both ate the food cause it was delicious still but we know not to mess with the people who cook the food. Lol. The whole time we were uncomfortable she made us feel uncomfortable. The guys who got their minutes before us, she attended them very well and she would check up on them but she ignored us the whole time and not to even check up on us. But the other waitress was able to help us out when we got the bill. She was really helpful and very nice and understanding.

I love pops! It’s so nice to have a family dinner that’s been here in Santa Ana for a while and it’s kept it’s charm as well as it’s classic menu. It’s always a great morning when I come to pops with the relaxed atmosphere and the service that treats you like family! Not to mention the food is fantastic! Also shout out to the server with the glasses! Your amazing dude you juggle everything from taking orders to bringing out plates with such ease!
