Very good Breakfast. Portions are very fair.Prices are fair. Service is good.Food is flavorful.

Food 5/5 - only “downside” which isn’t a big deal, avoid the lemonade (countrytime?), otherwise food was really good.Service 5/5 - Tracy was really nice ??Would definitely return, we were just driving by for brunch. Definitely should visit.

Not sure what's going on with friends cafe, but it's headed in the wrong direction. The recent poor reviews are pretty accurate.I've been here a ton of times before but today was just bad.The servers today (12/28) where busy but not attentive to OUR table. Three other tables were seated after us and each were a bigger party than ours (4 people)....the server (chubby white woman with glasses) came by twice to say "give me 1 minute, I'll be with you shortly" and 20 minutes later she still needed a "minute". The hostess girl came by to ask for the server what we wanted to drink but 5 minutes passed and still nothing.Since 25 minutes had passed, we stood up, and walked out to the Breakfast/Lunch spot down the street on Irvine Blvd and Tustin Ave called COUNTRY CAFE (2321 E 4th St suite A, Santa Ana, CA 92705). Here, the waitress took our order within 5 minutes and she was busy too.Jeff (owner) - If you're reading this I hope things change because today I experienced the same poor server service as the recent reviews. Not sure if it's your presence that causes your servers to be better when you're there but when you're not there things don't go well. My visit was 12/28 around 11:30AM in case you need to give your servers a wake up call.

delicious food & great service ? ?‍♀️

Great atmosphere good food. Reminds me of a quaint comfortable restaurant I used to visit on the East Coast. Great place to go and You not be disappointed.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Tustin. Everyone is friendly and welcoming and the food is always great.

As the name says it's friendly, Food is great and they have squaw bread. This is my 2nd time to visit while in the area

Visited on Sunday, November 7, 2021. We waited 20 minutes to get seated. Our server was very attentive. The sausage was so juicy- literally the best sausage I've had.

It was our first time at Friends. We got sat right away, our server was friendly and our breakfast was really good. I really liked their fresh squeezed orange juice! I would definitely recommend Friends!

My wife and I ate breakfast here on Sunday. We enjoyed it.Friendly people, good food, good prices, we'll be back.
