The Essential Guide to San Juan Capistrano

"In my opinion, there’s no better way to start a day in San Juan Capistrano than breakfast here: this hopping eatery serves Southwestern-inspired chilaquiles alongside mainstays like omelettes and breakfast burritos, plus melt-in-your-mouth pastries, and a honey vanilla latte delivers a sweet, creamy caffeine boost." - Cu Fleshman Cu Fleshman Cu is a freelance writer and editor with more than five years of experience.

This is one of the places where I don’t think you should exprience the food, but the environment and service as well. Ellie’s Table is one of the most easiest 5/5’s, I’ve given. And for great reasons, I have ordered the Chillaquilles, and at first I thought it didn’t have beans. And the small black toppings in it were olives, but they were black beans. Turns out as a bean hater, this is the restaurant were the beans were edible, which for a bean hater I would’ve never thought in my cognitive brain! But the Chillaquilles had the perfect texture, crispy, perfectly soft, and great flavor. The beans are out of this world, they don’t even feel like beans, they got perfect with the Chillaquilles! (Recommended choice to non bean eaters, ask a side of beans on your Chillaquilles, and puts some one and try it at least! Trust me you’ll thank a little Birdy later! And got a crossiant, would make any Parisian cry in happiness, simply soft buttery, and layered with flavor, and texture! beautiful scenery within San Juan Capistrano along with a nice stylish modern inside, on an early 20th century house. Overall if you’re in Irvine or San Juan Capistrano, I highly recommend Ellie’s Table. The history, the food, and culture Dosen’t make it a good restaurant but a great restaurant! And great service from the team! Shout out to Manny, you’re the one and only man!

A favorite spot for me and my girlfriends to go have breakfast. We come here on a girls trip every year and we have to hit up ellie's! We typically get the eggs benedict, oatmeal and hot cocoa or a milk steamer

Ellie's Table serves a mean plate of chilaquiles made best with an egg on top. Great service, ambiance and delicious food and a solid selection of baked goods easily make this business a place you can come to over and over.

Absolutely phenomenal cinnamon buns , chilaquiles, and breakfast burritos! Friendly counter service, will be back. Edit August 2025: We ordered catering for a baby sprinkle and the food and service was phenomenal. We had everything delivered and we loved all of the recommendations Samantha gave us! Definitely will work with this restaurant again!

I stumbled upon this cafe on my way north from San Diego, and it was an absolute gem! I ordered the Spanish Omelette and Belgian Waffle, and both were incredible choices. The omelette was massive but delicious, packed with tasty sauce, and the waffle was just right. My boyfriend went for the Steak Breakfast sandwich, which was soft, buttery, and the meat was surprisingly tender. The guacamole inside was fresh and bursting with flavor. He also ordered the side of potatoes, which were well-seasoned and delicious. For drinks, we got the iced americano and cappuccino. The cappuccino came in a large cup and was so good that it didn’t even need any sugar added. The outdoor seating was a huge plus for me. There was plenty of it, but there was also a small parking area with limited spots. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it.

Nice restaurant here in San Juan Capistrano, I am assuming that this area is part of downtown. Parking is definitely a challenge. Very limited free parking behind the restaurant. I didn’t see any street parking close by. But there is lots of paid public parking in the area. Some are $10, some are $4 for 2 hours. The restaurant itself has inside and outside seating available. Lots of options for everyone. Staff is super friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Atmosphere is nice and pleasant. Very relaxed and friendly. Food was good. My wife had the chilaquiles, I had the Ellie’s Table Breakfast Combo. It was all delicious, good seasoning, nice and crispy bacon, it all tasted fresh. Definitely a place to come back to. We came from Lake Forest, so this could be our to go breakfast place whenever we come down this area. Definitely recommend to try!

I was "recruited" (guilted! lol) by my family at practically the last minute to host our traditional Christmas Brunch. Because of the busy season, I reached out to Ellie's Table for catering (help!). Boy, did they deliver! Everything was a hit! Thank you so much, Ellie's, for your quick response to my request. The service I received from you and your team was exceptional, and as always, the food was delicious! (I intentionally wrote the same review on Yelp.)

Simple scrumptious bakery items, muffins, scones, cookies, etc. and a good selection of breakfast or lunch options. Enjoyed the grilled breakfast burrito with choice of meats, many quiche options, they are baked in their own round crust, had the chile relleno quiche and loved it. The croissants are huge and you can get a sandwich made with it, my mom had the tarragon chicken salad which has red grapes, very flavorful. They have special fall menu items as well, the pumpkin spice latte was yummy and beautifully presented. The service was top quality, so friendly and welcoming! Food came out quick. It is cafeteria style so they give you a tray with your items you get to choose your own condiments and silverware, etc. there’s indoor and outdoor seating. This is in a historic building so you have a lovely atmosphere.

Absolutely amazing! The food and presentation were top notch. A fabulous addition to our event. Working with Samantha was as easy as can be, even with our frequent changes and random requests. Have already told others and cannot wait to order again!

I ordered a small catered lunch - pasta salad, salad and a fruit platter. It was all absolutely delicious and beautifully displayed. I also ordered several dozen of the bagels, scones, muffins for a large group the next day and everyone was raving about how delicious everything was, especially the bagels! The service was fantastic - everyone was super helpful and organized. I love supporting local businesses. Highly recommend for eating in or catering!

We used Jay's Catering this year for a gathering of about 35 guests and they were absolutely amazing. Delivery was right on time, everything arrived hot, and the setup made it so easy for us to just enjoy the day instead of running around prepping and stressing. We typically order holiday meals from Whole Foods or Bristol Farms, but Jay's was so much better, both in quality and overall experience. The food was delicious, the portions were great, and it made hosting effortless. Highly recommend!

You order at the front and they bring out the items to you. Mocha was absolutely delicious! I ordered half sweet with oat milk and it was perfect. Both quiches were warmed adequately. We chose to sit outside as there wasn't much seating inside. Most of the tables are cleaned but we still had a gnat bugging us and flying into our food. Service was quick. Our lattes were ready by the time we chose a table!

My boyfriend and I come here all the time The food is amazing, I love the breakfast burritos they keep in the case the green salsa is to die for And I don't know if it's a manager but the Persian guy who makes the coffee does such a good job coffee is never bitter perfectly sweet they don't let the shots just sit there and get sour I always get the mocha and it's the best one in the area honestly

This place hit the spot! The vibes were so cute and the service was great. To drink: -banana bread iced latte: it was good, just barely tasted like banana at all. It was a yummy latte just not what I was expecting. To eat: -short rib egg plate special: SO BOMB! It had some sort of blueberry sauce and pickled onions and microgreens and was just the best -ham and cheese croissant: to die for! -bacon green chile breakfast burrito: needed more bacon, barely got any

First time at Ellie's Table, and I'm already looking forward to the next visit! We were in town looking for somewhere to brunch, and we ended up at this quaint cafe & bakery. Such a good read in the front of this historical landmark btw. Luckily for us, we found street parking around the corner and just walked over. We were welcomed by the beautiful display and array of delicious looking pastries and breads. We grabbed a menu, placed our order, paid at the counter, and got a table outside on their patio. There were amble of tables and chairs inside as well. While waiting for our order, we explored a bit and went upstairs, which showcased a beautiful antique dining table and matching hutch. Order up: - Apple Strudel (warmed up) - Blueberry scone (dusted w/ powdered sugar, yum!) - Strawberry Lavender Lemonade (wish this had free refills, so refreshingly good!!) - Chimichurri Tri Tip Sandwich (theirs was slow roasted and tender, and their ciabatta bread didn't wreck my mouth...must try!!!) - Steak and Egg Breakfast Sandwich (looked equally delish, with an option to upgrade to a butter croissant if you wanted) It did take a while to wait for the sammies, but it was worth the wait. We had the delicious pastries to hold us over. LOL. Cheers and happy eating till next time!

I am an early morning riser and thankful for breakfast locations that serve delicious savory entrees and sweet pastries with great tea and coffee. This is a must stop location between San Diego and Lake Forest. Service was attentive and food was delivered promptly. I enjoyed the bright Parisian style ambiance. Dogs are welcome on the patio. I ordered the Healthy Egg White burrito with mushrooms and spinach and the BLT sandwich topped with fried egg. I also tried their matcha tea and black ice tea. They both come unsweetened so add sweetener if you do not like it bitter.

Cute and quaint. You would never think of this place serving up coffee and food, but they sure do! Love the old historic feel and the service was relatively quick. They have a full case for pastries, breakfast items, cold salad bar, salads, and a separate menu. Tried their whiskey sticky bun heated up and it was the perfect amount of sweetness topped with chopped pecans. We also ordered their tiramisu latte which was delectable. Hubs and I are dying to come back without kiddos one day since they have a nice patio seating.

This is a place that you must try! My wife has gone several times and always speaks highly of it. She finally convinced me to try it for breakfast today and I'm sad I didn't go earlier. The service is really solid. Everyone is extremely nice and attentive to you. We even had a server go out of his way to refund us a latte that we were charged for but didn't order. He caught the mistake, not us. When I told him not to worry he insisted that they make it right. I respect that immensely and am grateful for their integrity. The food is also amazing. You stand in a line that moves past counters of food. You've got a great variety of pastries and quiche at these counters, but you can also order from the back, items such as Eggs Benedict or Biscuits and Gravy etc.... The menu is varied enough to suit anyone. The hot chocolate and coffee are also delicious and a great way to start your day. There is very little onsite parking but there is plenty of street parking or public lots close by. There is dining inside and outside as well, whatever suits your desires.

While visiting San Juan Capistrano recently, we decided to try Ellie's Table located close to everything (Metrolink stop, etc) in the middle of downtown. The cafe is located inside Egan's house, a nicely preserved historic building. It was crowded and a tad hectic inside. We placed our order and went outside to find a table. They have tons of seating outside, didn't have trouble finding a cute table. We ordered a Ham and Sandwich croissant and a mixed berry crostata which they warmed up. The savory croissant was delicious with gooey cheese and the crostata was heavy with fruit, extraordinary crust and flavor. Very impressed with their pastry selection, great variety, lots of them. Everything looked great: salads, pasta salad, quiches, sandwiches, etc. Water from the house, they have jugs inside and outside. We also got a Honey Lavender Latte (me) which I savored and my husband a Mexican mocha which he loved. The presentation was outstanding also. Metrolink advertised a deal on their site, present your ticket and a cookie or coffee. No one was aware of it, so didn't get an extra treat. Otherwise, decent service and prices, clean restrooms. Ellie's has wonderful pastries and coffee. If you need to get a bit spoiled for breakfast or lunch, this is the place!

Came here on a Sunday morning and it was just beginning to become super packed. I thought my sandwich was very good. Service was quick, my husband said the only thing about the chicken and waffles is that the syrup taste super fake and not good (once you go maple syrup you cannot go back...) cute cafe to check out!

They claim to be healthy and cook with clarified butter and avocado oil, but all the food is pretty much laced with seed oil, canola oil, and soy oil, which is very toxic to the system and they were not very upfront about it. I had to really dig to get this information out of them. Not a healthy place!

It was such a cute breakfast/brunch that I had to walk in to check it out. Service was so kind and very family friend oriented. We were already full from breakfast but I knew I had to order something. The cinnamon sticky bun was delicious and the nuts gave it extra texture and crunch.

The absolute cutest cafe in San Juan Capistrano! It's located on their main street with plenty of street parking available (limited parking behind the cafe). The cafe was pretty packed, so it was difficult to find indoor seating, but there was ample room outside with heat lamps. Their croissants are HUGE! I got an almond croissant which was buttery, flaky, and filled with delicious almond paste. The plain croissant was buttery perfection as well. The carrot cake was pretty dense, but had the perfect amount of sweetness and raisins. I loved the frosting on top. I would love to come back to Ellie's and try one of their lunch items!

Adorable cafe! Egan House is beautiful and the cafe did a good job of preserving its charm while creating a space for coffee and good food. You order first, then find a table with a number card. I loved the variety of pastries, salads, and sandwiches. I had the egg salad palm sandwich, beet salad, and chicken salad (which has an up-charge for the plate). I loved the beet salad. The chicken salad was a bit grape-heavy for me but also very tasty. The egg salad sandwich was OK. I was thrown off because there are chopped gherkins in the egg salad and I'm not a pickle fan, but that's my personal preference. My matcha latte was delicious. I also took a chocolate croissant home, which was more bread-y than flaky. The staff behind the counter were a little impatient while we were ordering, and then they forgot my friend's croissant benedict. She waited 20+ min before going back to ask about her order, and they then got around to making it. After that, the servers were very nice and kept checking on us. Overall had a good time, but the food wasn't exceptional and the service fell a little short. Still a very cute place to get a bite and catch up over coffee. Tip: they have a tiny parking lot but don't bother if it's busy. Drive up a little further past the cafe and there is a free parking lot beside the park. Next to the free lot there is a paid lot as well.

I reluctantly share this, because I don't want it to get crowded :/ But I love this Restaurant and bakery. Their sandwiches, salads, and especially their pastries and desserts are A+ After filling your tummy, you can walk to the wonderful shops and antique stores in the area.

Really cute place with good food, pastries, and beverages. There's a lot of parking but also not a lot of availability. The area seems to be pretty busy, especially on the weekends. We found parking on the other side of the park at In-N-Out. We walked through the park to the café. There are seats available indoor as well as outdoor.

This is by far the best breakfast/brunch place I've been to in recent memory. Honestly possibly the best spread in Southern California. The menu is expansive so if you have several people I recommend sharing items to get more of the full menu. The prices are also incredibly reasonable in 2024. Maybe even cheap to be honest. Came here with a friend and his sister-this is what we had: Apricot bar-not even a fan of sweets but light, delicious, chewy and downright delicious. Turkey focaccia-an absolute revelation. We got the last one and I thank god we lucked out. Tarragon chicken salad-light, sweet and savory. Fantastic Fried chicken sandwich-well fried, moist and tender breast. Fried chicken biscuit and gravy-hearty gravy, full of flavor with a soft and light biscuit and the same great tender well fried chicken breast. Breakfast sandwich and breakfast potatoes: well seasoned, great bread and cooked to order potatoes. New favorite place for brunch hands down. Very cozy ambience. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

I usually visit this location for their Honey Whiskey Pecan Sticky Bun. I always request to have it be warmed up when serve. Every bite is delicious, from the topped pecans to the, soft bun, caramelized with honey whiskey and the cinnamon just tops it with flaky edges so worth eating. Sometimes I will order their Pear Salad it is usually my go to and their sandwiches are good perfect individual size to pack for an outing picnic. Breakfast is good as well, my go to is the Ellie's combo because their bacon is my favorite it's thick and crunchy and never burnt. The location at SJC is small and seating is kind of awkward inside especially when they are busy and its rush orders because the wait line wraps around their seating area and its kind of weird to have people look at you while you are eating and they are trying to patiently wait to order the delicious food you are eating. But they offer seating outside as well depending on the time of day you go and the day of the week because their seating is limited outside. Staff have always been friendly and welcoming.

Visited for breakfast and was really happy we did! Really cute spot in San Juan - stays busy but moves quick! Good options, lots of pastries. I think the eggs had butter which did hurt my tum a little (food allergies) but I didn't specify my dairy allergy. Everything was yummy! Would come back for sure! I want to mention the gf/dairy free blueberry muffin was amazing! Trust me - I've tasted a ton of pastries and often they are dry, unflavored, chalky. This one was delicious, moist, flavorful. I'm so happy we stopped by!

My girlfriend and I decided to visit Ellie's Table at The Egan House in San Juan Capistrano for Saturday morning brunch. First of all, parking can be quite difficult, especially during peak times. There are about 5 spaces in the parking lot, but after that, you are on your own to attempt to find street parking or adjacent lot parking. It can definitely be a challenge, especially on a weekend. We entered the building and checked out the menu. There are a few pre-made items (pastries, quiche, etc.) that are in the display cases that will be reheated and served. Additional items, such as sandwiches and plates, are prepared in the kitchen and served to your table. The building itself is quite historic and has a warm, inviting feeling. There are table sand chair outside, along the patio, inside near the kitchen area, as well as a pretty cool, private 8-person table upstairs which is near the additional restrooms. We decided to share the Vegetarian Quiche ($9.25), which came with Garlic Mushroom, Onion Jam, & Gruyere. The quiche was small and a nice starter for both of us. The ingredients were simple and the flavor was very nice. I went with Ellie's Breakfast Sandwich ($10.25), which consisted of Egg, cheddar cheese, green onion, and your choice of protein. When I asked to add chicken, I was told that chicken was not one of the options, but rather an upgrade, even though it was listed among the others. I decided to go with the turkey, along with an upgrade to the Butter Croissant ($2.00). The sandwich itself was pretty good. The croissant was super flakey on the outside and had a nice soft interior. The egg and cheddar cheese mixed well with the sliced turkey. It was a good sandwich, but a bit pricey at over $12. There was no side option, fruit, salad offered. My girlfriend went with Ellie's Benedict ($15.00) - a warmed croissant stuffed with spinach, Canadian bacon, whipped goat cheese and topped with 2 poached eggs, sliced tomato, hollandaise sauce and sprinkled with parsley. It also came with a small side salad. The presentation was great and it looked delicious. I was able to snag a small bite and I thought everything was delicious and the value for the price was good. After my breakfast sandwich, I decided to go to the counter and order one of the homemade Cinnamon Rolls ($4.50). It was warmed up in a convection oven and ready for me in just a few minutes to take back to our table. The size of the roll is good, and the frosting was tasty - a mild cream cheese and cinnamon infused delight with the right amount of sweet to share. Overall, I thought Ellie's did a nice job of providing good quality food in a quick, casual sit down environment. It's a good breakfast option whether you grab and go, or have a seat with your loved ones (furry friends also welcomed in the outdoor seating areas) for a nice unpretentious meal to start your day.

Came here for my 2nd time. Place is pricey but the ambiance and food is always delicious. We ordered again the asada fries, which is our favorite item to share. My friend did the spanish omelette again and really enjoyed it. I tried the croque madam, it was really delicious but I think the irish Benedict is better. S'mores latter is still delicious but having it with whipped cream is even better, too bad its an extra charge for whipped cream. Pineapple Dole Whip Mimosa looked good but it really didn't taste great. The whipped cream wasn't needed but I get the idea for looks and to get the name. It would have just been good to have a toothpick of pineapple chunks than the sugar rim & whipped cream. Plus, I hardly taste pineapple in the champagne. I gave my drink to my friend to finish for me. I wasn't a fan of that drink. I think our favorite is the Raspberry Mimosa. Service was great! Kyle, helped fix our drink and staff was great in clearing our table. We spent about $160 total on food and drinks but its worth the experience of having a nice brunch with good friends for the weekend. Just ensure you arrive before 11am to get parking. The first time we arrived, parking was all taken. They only have like 4 parking spaces, so after 11am, it will get busy.

Ellie's table catered a bridal shower that I had last weekend and I would absolutely use them again! It started with the amazing customer service when I initially contacted them for pricing (Thank you Samantha!) to the delivery of the food - our guy was super sweet and got everything unloaded in a timely manner AND he had such a great attitude, I completely forgot to get his name though. Then the food! Everyone raved about the food! We highly recommend the blueberry French toast casserole and the finger sandwiches (chicken salad and cucumber and cream cheese). Thank you for making our party so special! Can't wait to use your services again!

Delicious food and not enough stomach room, lol. Bruschetta toast, ham & cheese croissant and lemon poppyseed cake were all very tasty. The signature Kouign Amann was too sweet for my liking, but good to try. The salmon elote summer salad piqued my interest and I'd love to order it next time. Service was great and attentive/fast. Overall, loved my experience here and look forward to coming back.

I love finding new restaurants that I like! Lattes are all great. I got the Fruity Pebbles latte (photo attached)--omg they drew a bird on my latte!! Besides in LA when I went to get art on my latte at the Baker, The Butcher, and Cappuccino Maker this is the best art I have seen. Pastries are A+ You order in line and they give you a buzzer and you find your seat. So the point deduction comes from the food. Took a longgg time for food to come out. I think they are understaffed cuz the staff was def. hustling and this was a Saturday so I'm sure it was a busy day. Seats: were very easy to get. Loved sitting on the patio overlooking the street. Parking: easy to find I found street parking (free) did not use their parking spot. Food: Chilaquiles- it was good not great Burrito Breakfast-good not great. Presentation on all food was awesome would like to try different items.

Such a cute little spot! They have plenty of seating--indoor, outdoor, and even some upstairs--which made it feel really welcoming. I went for breakfast and absolutely loved it. The egg sandwich was super flavorful, and I liked that you could choose your protein. The chicken and waffles were amazing too--a perfect sweet and salty combo. Plus, they have a great selection of pastries and sweet treats. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

Ellie's Table is a great little spot if you want a nice little brunch/lunch/snack/pastry or coffee with a quaint cafe vibe. We love Ellie's whenever we come to the OC. We used to go to the San Clemente location before it closed. This was our first time at this location. Food: 5/5 We ordered a variety of things here and each item was wonderful. I ordered the brunch burger. It was cooked to perfection and practically melted in my mouth with each bite. We also got some pastries and the lucky charms cappuccino. Everything we got was wonderful. Atmosphere: 5/5 This place has a very nice little cafe vibe. There is some seating indoors, a cool little private area upstairs and some nice seating outside lining the building. It's a nice place to hangout and visit with friends or loved ones while enjoying some food and coffee in a relaxed environment. Customer Service: 4/5 One of the employees seemed a little irritated that she was there while she rang us up. But, overall the service was ok. She was young, so I doubt that it is like this with all the employees all the time. Price: 5/5 The prices here are great for what you get. I got a massive burger with a sunny side egg for only $14. The nice palm sandwiches are only $3.50! They have items for if you want a full meal or just a little snack. They are all priced very well in my opinion. Parking: 3/5 There is a tiny parking lot behind the building. If you can't park there, you are looking for street parking or parking in another lot in the Downtown San Juan Capistrano area. This place is such a nice little OC gem. I highly recommend if you are on a trip or even a local!

Cute place in San Juan Capistrano. Went for late breakfast. Was somewhat confused and did not see the menus that were placed below my line of sight (my fault) There was a board with special listed and several things sitting on top of cases. Ordering is cafeteria style. My confusion came when I was asked if I wanted anything out of the pastry case/prepared foods. Since I saw no menu (again, my fault), I was puzzled by the request. My friend ordered pastry and a drink, I ordered a sandwich and drink. Prices for items in the case were very reasonable. After paying we found a table to eat at. I saw a staff person pass by with beautiful looking French toast. Again I didn't see it listed anywhere on the numerous items sitting on top of the pastry case. After investigating further I located the menus and saw a nice selection of breakfast and lunch items. Overall, things were decent and well priced, but I wish they would place menus within the line of sight, especially for people like me who had never been there. Maybe I'll get an opportunity to give them another try.
