“Friendly folks, pleasant atmosphere, good coffee and plenty of it.”

First visit, old school (that’s good). Located on a busy street corner, with parking in a back lot. I had the #8 Ortega Hwy omelette (ortega chiles, bacon, onion and cheese). I liked that it was very tasty, mild chiles, and really good pico de gallo on the side. Very good home fries and good quality rye toast. Good table service, I’ll be back for sure. Recommended.

I love that this is an old fashioned diner! It has an extensive menu but I've had the breakfast tacos both times we've been there. 3 huge tacos with choice of breakfast potatoes or hash browns. Coffee is great too! Friendly waitress. We went on a week day so wasn't crowded. Wish we visited San Clemente more often. I'd go there all the time! Update - 3/24. On another San Clemente trip so able try more of their wonderful menu! Chill Verde breakfast burrito this time, with side of breakfast potatoes. Super good!

When I told the server that I'm gluten free, she offered to substitute sliced tomatoes or corn tortillas for the bread that would normally come with my omelette. (I choose to let my husband eat it instead.) My husband loves diners and thought this place was perfect! There both counter service and tables available. Our food was delicious!

Great san Clemente home town feel here. Eat outside with your dog or inside with local pictures on the wall. The food is great! I had the jalapeño eggs Benedict with hash browns. Not to spicy but just right. Also scrambled eggs with hash browns was very good. Black coffee with lots of cream what’s not to like. Excellent service as well!
