Brownstone Cafe

If I could I would give this place a -5 star! This place has the worst service ever. Over an hour to even have our order taken. Then finally once the food arrived 3 out of the 5 plates had hair in them and then we get called a liar and the bill thrown in our face! Extremely rude and insulting. Never experienced anything like this. This place is an embarrassment to Fullerton!

Excellent food!

I visit this spot a lot since I work nearby. I must say their service is always fantastic and they keep the spot well kept all the time. Rates are fair and they serve big portions.

This is another unique restaurant tucked away in the historic California Hotel (now called the Villa del Sol). The courtyard is the perfect place to spend an hour or two just grabbing a quick breakfast, or sitting by the fountain and having a cup of coffee.The owners/operators have created a cool little place with a ton of character and peacefulness. Chef Glen has created brand new menu items that are vegetarian (or maybe vegan - I never can remember the rules) that are actually quite tasty at least as far as this confirmed carnivore is concerned.We've held company events and parties at the Brownstone Cafe - and all of our experiences have been flawlessly successful. Chef Glenn and Kimberly work hard to make sure everything is perfect. So if you want a quality meal (or a team building/special event) at a reasonable price and in a peaceful setting, then drop by and say "Hi" to Chef Glenn, Kimberly and the rest of the Brownstone staff.

Decent food but very generic the breakfast sausage and the potatoes were good. I was very disappointed in receiving ready whip instead of homemade whipped cream. Service was not slow even though the place was empty and our table was sticky.

Wonderful. Especially the Tomato Basil Bisque soup.

Great food, friendly staff

The courtyard is a great place to sit and have breakfast! Omelets and French toast are amazing. Will be back!

Food was decent but the service was horrible. I asked for a pitcher of water in the beginning before we got the meal, and didn’t get it until I asked for the fourth time. The waiter brought our plates out 25 minutes after we ordered. As soon as our plates were all situated, they didn’t even bring utensils. We had to ask for them. I’m leaving 1 star because I told the manager on the side (not in public ) about this and she didn’t even have the courage to come to the table and apologize. Her response was short about how they work together as a team to accommodate with the table. Also, our tabs were all messed up. Don’t come here if your party is more than 7.

She makes home made jams too

We come for brunch anytime we have spare time during the weekend. I usually get the pesto Benedict with potatoes and hot tea.

Time goes by a little slow here but the people that come here don't seem to mind. I enjoy service a little faster but the people here are really nice and the food is good...just not great

Food is great, service is slow.

The Brownstone continues to deliver. The location is one of the most beautiful and relaxing venues in Historic Downtown Fullerton; Glenn and Kimberly continue to put out a consistent menu; and they are always giving back to the community. Chef Glenn donates his time to helping in so many ways - including supporting the Fullerton College Foundation to create scholarships for students. As a Merit Badge Counselor for the Boy Scouts of America, I was honored that Chef Glenn and Kimberly hosted my participants after a visit to the Fullerton Courthouse.The Brownstone Cafe is a beautiful venue; it is owned/operated by people who work with, and give back to, our community, and it is just a cool, unique place to grab a bite.

Uniquely great food! Not greasy, great tasting breakfast
