A sunnie spot in my life: Breakfast at Cafe Cup in Huntington Beach

Craving pancakes a few days earlier I searched for a nice breakfast place for the weekend. Cafe Cup seemed like a good choice with a good balance of savory items and big fluffy pancakes. Most of the reviews recommended either the enchiladas or chicken chilie verde so we decided to go with one of that and an order of blueberry pancake to get a dose of antioxidant.

The restaurant was packed on this overcast Sunday. The seating capacity was probably under 40 and people were constantly waiting outside. The wait for us was short as it was only the 2 of us plus we went at a slightly better time.

Food took quite long but with the great conversation we were having time passed fast.

I wasn't expecting the pancakes to be this big ($7 for 3) and worried about finishing them all as the chicken chile verde omelette came with potatoes and 2 slices of toast as well ($7.95, we switched to egg whites and added $1).

The pancakes were warm moist and fluffy, worth the weekday wait. The chicken chile verde was full of flavor and the chili verde was a tad too spicy but didn't deter us. We drenched the dish with salsa they provided in small canisters on the table. The potatoes which we ordered well done was crispy on the outside, kinda like it had some batter, but soft n mashed potatoey on the inside.

Great breakfast place but would recommend you come with a party of 4 or less and try to be there before 9am. Parking can be tricky too as there's a 24 hr fitness in the same plaza and apparently many people like to workout on weekends *shrugs*.
