Another perk of working in Downtown Santa Ana, is having access to restaurants like Crave. I love going here for breakfast if I feel like staying somewhat healthy, because I’m still satisfied and full when I leave. I got the make your own omelette which comes with a side of country potatoes and sourdough toast.Ok, maybe I got a side of the oatmeal raisin cookie as well, but oh well! You got to check this place out. ?

Went here with the bf for brunch on a weekend morning. He got the Chicken Melt with the fresh fruit on the side and I got their half sandwich and half soup (Grilled Beef Tri-Tip Sandwich with their soup of the day - Rustic Mushroom Soup).Here's my breakdown of the food:Their sour dough bread was f-bomb delicious. I regret not asking if they sell their sourdough alone so I can bring home and make myself some sandwiches. The meat on both sandwiches seem to be off. The chicken was too dry. The tri-tip had a weird tang after-taste. The tang/sour taste is similar to when eating lamb. It wasn't something anyone would expect when eating beef tri-tip. I wasn't sure if the dip made it tangy/sour but when I brought it up with the waitress, she told me she thought so too when she had it last. The cheese was ok in the chicken melt. The rustic mushroom soup was very good. I LOVE mushroom and the soup tasted very mushroom concentrated. It wasn't very creamy but it wasn't watery either. I would definitely recommend for mushroom lovers.Service & Ambiance:The place was not noisy nor was it too quiet. It was a lovely place to have brunch. The waitress was very friendly and same with the manager working there.OVERALL:I would love to come back to try their omelets next time. I'm also hoping they fix their meats as I think it would definitely improve their food. Service was wonderful.

Rude worker. Did a Phone order ahead of time so I wouldn't have to waste my 1/2 hour lunch and eat. They told me there was only 1 person working and I'd have to wait at the end of the line. I walked out. My debit card was compromised here years ago and I let that slide and went back with cash. I've found hair in my food before twice and was comped and hadn't been here in about a year because of it. Now I'm never going back.

First off, I'd like to mention So good and great service and I loved the ambiance, food, and drinks.Get there early on a weekend to get a seat!

The smoked salmon bagel is by far the best thing on the meal. Its tasty and fills me every time I get it!!

Nice atmosphere. Good food and very pleasant owner. This was my first experience here but won't be my last.

Delicious French toast!

Delicious soups, sandwiches, and salads. And the cookies are huge and nostalgic. Downtown Santa Ana District so surrounded by lots of hip eateries, bars, and stores!!!

Loved the Cobb salad. Very fresh ingredients. Everything was fresh cut, made to order. Good outdoor seating. Street parking is limited. Park in the structure behind the restaurant.
