Cafe Koyomi

Amazing hidden gem of Santa Ana. Small, family owned a café with heavy Japanese influence. Very interesting given it's inside of a corporate building almost like a speakeasy!Had the breakfast menu along with the Japanese toast, which was Instagram worthy. Come for the hospitality, stay for the amazing food.

I live close by to this little hidden Gem. Walked over this morning with some of my family and what a delight. Great selection for a smallish Cafe, the service was very friendly, coffee was fantastic and the breakfast food we had was up there with any I've tasted elsewhere. Will certainly be making this a regular for midweek breakfast and coffee.Pete

One of my new favorite spots and so glad to have discovered it. My fiancé was getting her cloths altered nearby and I was super hungry. After going through Yelp, I stumbled upon Cafe Koyomi and I've been back so many times since then! They are located in a business building so it may take a bit to find, but it is on the first floor (entrance on the side of the building). My favorite menu item is the onigiris, they come in 3 different flavors (tuna mayo, salmon, or spam) so my fiancé typically just gets one of each. I've also gotten their Breakfast Burrito (also super delicious) and the Dirty Matcha Latte. All the prices are super fair and reasonable in this new inflationary market so I feel like I am able to try everything! They also have daily lunch specials although I haven't gotten to try that yet. If they ever do offer the curry, I'll have to get it! The owners are super friendly and nice. They also have a stamp card system if you order stuff over $5. Definitely worth checking out and I'll be back again!

Situated in an office building. Only open during weekday. Serving good coffee and breakfast. Friendly service and reasonable price.

Such a quaint little gem tucked away inside an office building. It's a bit tricky to find but thankfully the wonderful employees at the Citibank pointed us in the right direction haha. You'll find it if you go past the elevators, make a right and continue all the way down and follow the sign that says deli.Clearly a mom and pop shop, it's run by this sweet Japanese lady who made my heart melt. She was so polite in taking our order and making sure we knew exactly what our sandwiches came with. I got the BLT and my gf ordered their pastrami. We also both got their iced cafe latte. They come in these cute mason jars and they make them without any sugar but they have a convenient counter off to the side that has syrup pumps and sugar. My only nitpick there is that the syrup pumps were so old that the syrup came squirting out all over the place and was a sticky mess.It was a bit of a wait for the food and drinks, almost 20 mins which felt like forever for just two sandwiches and two iced coffees but they don't have more than three employees working there, so I can understand that. The sandwiches themselves weren't anything too special. The bacon was real crispy and you can tell they only use fresh ingredients so that's good but otherwise, just a basic sandwich. My gf enjoyed her pastrami sandwich however they put too much mustard on it.The place obviously gets a lot of revenue from the office workers but we wanted to stop by and check them out since it seemed promising. A bit pricey but again to be expected since it's a mom and pop and they do have a sign out there explaining why they had to raise prices due to inflation.

The food is amazing!! I have lots of favorites dishes. And service is on point. The owner Miyako and Nancy are the sweetest and Nancy cooks amazing. Great Ambiance!!!

Delicious food for very reasonable prices. Lots of coffee options. Affogato and salted caramel lattes are definitely must tries.Staff is very friendly and there's never a wait. Lots of variety in the menu.

I'd most definitely come here again if I had time in the morning!! The sandwich I had was so good and I loved the coffee jelly. The cafe is a perfect place to get some work done and it's nicely decorated. The service here was lovely as well!

No, Google Map didn't tricked you. This cute little place is located inside the big business building. Once you walked in the main entrance, just go straight and follow the sign. They also have a smaller, direct entrance to the right of the main building. The owner is such a cute and sweet lady, and was very accommodating! I got the breakfast burrito which comes with cheese, salsa, cream, and choice of sausage or bacon, and a thai latte with less sweet. The burrito was a little small but it was great! Everything was cooked well and the whole thing just melted in my mouth. The thai latte was the perfect level of sweetness for me. Will definitely come back when I'm in the area again!

This place is cute and the food was good. 4 instead of 5 stars because it could use more signage to find it. I was walking in circles looking for it. I'd come back again.
