Customer Reviews
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 k
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!
Meeting client in lake forest. Kimmy and I stopped here for lunch. Ordered chicken fijita and coke. Shared chicken 🐔 with kimmy. Kimmy and I highly recommend. Enjoy.
