Connections Cafe - Irvine

Always a great atmosphere, food. service. I love to socialize eating all heard during a fantastic news

Mariners Church Cafe is the PERFECT name for this eatery. The food was so tasty and the bacon jam was to die for! Sit back and relax with a latte at the window seat and enjoy the calm atmosphere!

Here, you'll encounter the friendliest and most genuine people! The service is excellent, and it's a wonderful space that includes a bookstore, café, community center, youth center, school, and thriving shops as well!

I dine at this restaurant about once a month, as it's the only place to eat within a half-mile radius. The service is excellent, and the atmosphere is very positive. After finishing their meals, guests often take a stroll around the grounds of the marine church, passing by lovely boulders, ponds, and olive trees, while enjoying some reading along the way. It's a welcoming and safe place, making it easy to socialize and enjoy your time here.

I'm not sure how to express my appreciation for this café due to its exceptional quality! It's efficiently managed, offers a large menu selection with excellent ingredients (including microgreens!), and features a concise menu that ensures everything is fresh and seasonal. Guests can choose to enjoy their meals while watching the chefs at work in the dining room or on the outdoor terrace, all conveniently located near the parking lot. While waiting, you can browse the enclosed bookstore for gifts or simply relax. Their catering events are always top-notch. There's something on the menu for everyone—beef, fish, vegan options, and a children's menu as well. I've tried nearly everything and have consistently enjoyed the quality. I rarely trust places to serve poke, so I am grateful for this café! Many thanks to the team for running such an excellent restaurant and for their hard work in providing well-trained and friendly service. God bless their staff, management team, and diners. It truly is a great place!
