Kimmie’s Coffee Cup

My friends and I stopped by this place to take a break from the Orange International Street Fair, which was happening directly outside of this little brunch shop. We didn’t realize that bratwurst was a staple of every single country at the fair, so we were looking for something a little healthier than sausages. The …

Maru Maki

I’ve been to this restaurant three times now. The first time we went, my roommate and I decided to order online and take it home. Big mistake. There are two prices for all their menu items. They have a full-price takeout menu, so sushi rolls can end up costing up to $13 each. And they …

7 Seas Sports Bar

My friend and I came here for sushi, we both ended up getting burgers instead. The sushi selection was too disappointing. I guess I shouldn’t go to a bar looking for sushi, my mistake. However, their food was actually pretty decent for bar food. The location is in downtown Garden Grove, pretty easy to find, …

Juicy Burger

Juicy Burger. Yup, that’s the name of the joint, not a description. My friends and I stopped by here for lunch after we failed to get rush tickets at the Pantages across the street. Parking seemed non-existent in this area. Luckily, we all took the metro (+1 to tree huggers). Going into the restaurant, the …

Stix & Straws

Stix & Straws is a small little restaurant located just outside of downtown El Segundo. Peering in, the restaurant reminisces of those abnormally sanitary yogurt shops, with bright colored furniture that could be mistaken for a daycare center. They atmosphere is really cute as they use hedgehogs as their brand mascot. The owner, or at …

Genkiyaki

A place that serves NINJA TACOS and NINJA FRIES. Do you really need any other reason to try this place? This place is hidden in a small strip of stores next to a gas station on Bellflower and Del Amo Blvd. There are too many stores for the amount of parking allotted to the …

Stone Oven

This place markets itself as a “gourmet” sandwich and salad shop. Hidden beneath the Atrium in Newport Beach’s Fashion Island is another delicious southern California sandwich chain. Their menu has only seven sandwiches and seven salads ranging from sandwiches such as BBQ Beef Brisket, Garlic & Basil Chicken, Tuna Salad, to salads like Asian Chicken, Walnut …

Bruxie

Have you ever wondered what the lovechild of a burger and a waffle would taste like? Well Bruxie will put an end to your curiosity. They sell sweet and savory sandwiches and pure cane sugar sodas. The only difference is instead of using bread, they fold a waffle slice in half like a taco. Their menu …

Royal Cup Cafe Gourmet Sandwiches

allen — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 18:19:36 +0000

My first impression walking up to Royal Cup Cafe Gourmet Sandwiches was “what a small place this is, how do they stay in business?” This place has no sign that mentions their name, in fact it only says “Gourmet Sandwiches” in big letters on the outside, and “Coffee and Tea” as their caption. There’s no …
