One of the BEST breakfast burritos in town. I get the bacon breakfast burrito and at least 2-3 times a week I wake up craving it so I drive over. Daisy is always very friendly and genuinely cares for the customers that walk in. You can tell she is proud to be there and serve the community. They just changed their store name to Forest Cafe which is brilliant, simple, and a vibe. The store is small but there’s some seating and plenty outside near the Starbucks. I hope to come here for years, I just have to keep jogging daily so I can enjoy these donuts and burritos without gaining too much weight haha. Check them out!

Forest Cafe has delicious food and great service. My boyfriend and I frequent Forest Cafe because it’s a 5 minute walking distance from where we live. We order breakfast and eat there. So far, we have tried chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, breakfast croissant, and carne asada tacos. They are all really good + flavorful, and portion sizes are well worth the price. The tortillas for the tacos taste like they are made in-house and the carne asada is one of the best I’ve tried in the area. Tender and flavorful. I highly recommend this place!

I came in and ordered the breakfast burrito, the food was amazing and the atmosphere was of a mom and pop donut shop. the menu is really extensive and the owners are so nice, definitely coming back!

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.

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!

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!

Hidden gem! The staff at Forest Cafe was so kind, attentive, and accommodating. I have a pork allergy and they went out of their way to make sure my meal was safe, which I really appreciated. I had the enchiladas and was honestly pleasantly surprised. I’m super picky with Mexican food because I can make it at home, but every single bite was delicious and full of flavor! My friend ordered the huevos rancheros and said they were exceptional as well. It’s a clean, small family-owned place with such a welcoming atmosphere. You can really tell they care about their customers and the quality of their food. Definitely going back!

The verde (green) chilaquiles are really good and made right. Crispy chips and plenty of nice tasting verde sauce. I added chicken. It looks small….”but is very satisfying to eat!” My wife had the veggie omelet and it too….was bomb! Egg not burnt and stuffed with plenty of sauté vegetables and add cheese….”Perfect!!!!”🙌🏼

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.
