We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Forest Cafe. It truly felt like a hidden gem. It is a small cozy spot and when we went after church there was hardly anyone there which made it even better. We originally found it through Yelp and saw people raving about the homemade food and it absolutely lived up to the reviews.
I ordered the Denver omelet and it was excellent. The eggs were perfectly airy and creamy without being runny. The flavor was simple but spot on and the avocado paired really well with it. Nothing felt off or overdone.
We also tried a few other dishes at the table. The chilaquiles were fantastic. The tortilla chips had a great crunch and were not soggy at all. Even though they looked heavily sauced in pictures the ratio was actually perfect. Enough salsa for flavor while still keeping the chips crispy. The salsa itself was very good and the egg on top was perfectly runny and yolky which was a big plus. The version with added cheese was also great.
Service really stood out. One of our friends asked for no cheese on their chilaquiles and it accidentally came out with cheese. The staff handled it so kindly. They took it back immediately and as an apology one of the owners or cooks came out personally and brought us complimentary pancakes. That small gesture really showed how much they care. The owners were incredibly sweet and kept checking in asking if everything was good and sharing how much care and time they put into making everything homemade. You could genuinely feel that passion.
Huge props to Forest Cafe. I would absolutely recommend it. A great little brunch and breakfast spot and definitely a place we will be coming back to.

This is one of the best breakfast spots I’ve been to in this area! I ordered the Huevos Rancheros with chorizo, and they brought me this dish that didn’t look like what I ordered. I tried it and it was an explosion of flavor! Instead of the traditional, wrapped tortillas, they served it over them instead. There was this crispness in the middle. It was incredible! The service was fantastic. The woman behind the counter was so sweet! This is now our weekend breakfast spot!

save yourself time and DON’T come to this place if you are looking for brunch. There is a thread in our omelette the omelette is too plain, feel it’s undercooked. the crepe tastes artificially sweet. the environment is bad, very little space inside and the outside seating is right next to parking. They ask you to pay (including tips) BEFORE you eat, and the entire meal costed us $50+. I don’t understand why the high rating, but seems all the good review comes from 1-2 years ago. All recent reviews are negative.

This place was excellent. We called in an order on our way to Disneyland early in the morning and the staff was so friendly over the phone. The egg and cheese bagel was perfect!!! And I also really enjoyed the breakfast burrito. Iced coffee was on point too. We are from out of town and were glad to find an awesome local spot that deserves the love! I saw they do preorders for tamales and if I lived here I definitely would have pre ordered some!

To the Management,
I am writing to express my deep disappointment regarding the service I received at your restaurant.
As a first-time visitor who is still improving my English, I needed a little more time to understand the menu. However, the male server who assisted me showed no patience and was incredibly dismissive. His condescending behavior made me feel very uncomfortable throughout my meal.
Good food cannot make up for such poor service. I believe your staff needs better training on hospitality and basic respect for all customers. I have no intention of returning to a place where I am treated this way.

I ordered the asada burrito, and it was good. The asada tasted and had the texture of real steak. The doughnuts looked great, but maybe next time. Parking was easy.

Very disappointing brunch experience. For two people, the bill came to about $50, which is quite expensive for what we got. Drinks are overpriced (an orange drink alone was nearly $8, which I only noticed after paying).
There was no real service provided, and the food was poor in quality. When we started eating, we found a piece of string cloth inside the omelet. They replaced it, but unlike most restaurants that would reduce the bill after such an incident, nothing was offered here.
Overall, the food, service, and value were all below expectations. I will not be visiting again.

Had a Breakfast Burrito with Sausage and it was delicious and the food quality was wonderful. I also had a fresh squeezed orange juice. It was great but a little pricey $8.32 for a small bottle. Overall this place is a nice and Cozy cafe with great Breakfast.

The food is great! Everyone who works there is always so kind and goes over and beyond to do nice things for our kids. My favorite is the huevos rancheros but so many other great items on the menu.
