Alicia's Too

Wow, this place is great! Wish I had come here sooner. We stopped by for lunch, I had a cobb salad and husb had a hi-riser sandwich. Both came with fruit, an oatmeal cookie and a brownie. My salad also came with a freshly baked seasoned bread roll. All of it was fresh tasting and excellent! I like the patio area and the gift shop is adorable. Service was very friendly too.

There were a lot of tempting to-go food items to take home as well (sausage rolls, cakes, ready meals). I can understand why this spot was busy on a Friday afternoon! Will definitely return.

Love this place! Have been a patron fir many years. Great selection of yummy meals! Awesome gift shop! Alicia herself is talented and amazingly compassionate! My 4 year old grandson was having a meltdown during our recent visit. Alicia came to our table, sat down next to chat with him. Within minutes he settled down. What a kind gesture! Can't say enough good things about Alicia's

PERFECT customer service and food. I ordered 70 catered lunch boxes from Alicia's. They treated me as if I was their most valued customer. (And really I'm just a regular person.) The attention to detail was fantastic. I requested a few changes to the contents of the boxes and those requests were honored. They even offered to create and apply a custom sticker to decorate the lunch boxes. Most important of all, the food was outstanding; my foodie guests raved about how excellent it was.

Love this place! Family-owned, and very delicious food. Plus, they have refrigerated/frozen meals to-go. It's a hidden, locals favorite. It's definitely worth a try.

The food is alway great. Atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I have been stopping on for more tha. 10 years

It was our first time here. The food was fantastic. The employees treated us as family. Don't even get me started on the gift shop. This will become a regular for us.

Friendly staff and fabulous food! The menu isn't huge but every single item on it is wonderfully prepared. Great place for a casual Saturday breakfast if you want something different and special. Alicia, the owner, is generally there and very friendly, greets everyone. They have a great selection of grab and go food, things you can take home to prepare later. I highly recommend Alicia's.

Have been gone from the area for 4 years but the quality of food still made at Alicia's is wonderful, picked up a healthy salad and a piece of cherry pie

Hidden gem! Perfect breakfast or lunch spot. Sandwiches are delish and soup is always yummy! My favorite is their soup on Fridays, the potato cheddar, sooo good! Staff is very friendly and they have a cute store inside too!

Worst customer service ever! Whoever this lady was on the phone was absolutely rude! She seemed miserable to be working there. I've never eaten there before so I wasn't sure what to order and she wasn't having it! Not helpful at all just gave me attitude.

Finally visited for my first time after living in LA Habra most of my life. My pink cloud sandwich was delicious but the best of the day was the 3 layer cake. It was delicious and moist layers of vanilla caramel and chocolate. Friendly staff as well.

Quality american food, generous portions, cute decor! Stopped by during lunch time (12pm) to buy take out for the family. I ordered the Chipotle Chicken Sandwich and the classic Caesar Salad. Both were very good! The daily chicken soup was also so good and hearty. It tastes like it was made from scratch and with love; not out of a can. For the Caesar Salad, they packed the croutons separately. Kudos to your team for doing this, some places just toss it in the package with the greens and it gets all soggy.

Full size orders come with cookies and a fruit, which add to a great afternoon pick-me-up snack. Finally a place in Brea that's not a chain, and locally owned. My order was well packaged and it came out alot faster than expected (which is great!) Gift shop is very cute and full of items. Great idea to browse while you wait for your order. I look forward to coming back next time and trying other items!

A friend and business peer took me here and 15 years of being within a mile of this place, I literally always thought it was only a catering kitchen. 1 word. Delicious. Applying it to the bakery good like the muffins, to the avocado toast, and even the coffee. If you're looking for a simple and cozy breakfast spot, look no further. Great food and service.

I have been coming to Alicia's for many years. Their food is delicious and their service is great! I read about another customer who was upset about being asked to give up their seat for others. In all the many many times I've been at this restaurant, and I have only been asked once to give up our table. It has been during this pandemic time.

I completely understood why they asked and was more than willing to give up our space. Many small businesses have been hit hard and I want to do my part to help them regain some of their financial loss. I love my friends and we are more than willing to continue our visiting somewhere else if our table is needed for others. Alicia and team-You are amazing! Thank you for your decades of delicious food and great service! Sharon

I've been coming here since I was in high school I'm now in my mid. Anyways. I LOVE THIS PLACE! Everything & anything you order you won't be disappointed with! A few go to Chinese chicken salad, chicken salad sandwich, potato cheese soup, ANYTHING! It's fresh, quality, & what I crave weekly! The staff is amazing! They are welcoming, they can hold a conversation when the lines not out the door - which I can appreciate very much! Alicia is amazing! She genuinely cares about her customers. Her business & her staff which speaks volumes! I'm sorry it took so long for me to review you all!

The cranberry almond chicken sandwich is phenomenal! I pass by at lunch time at least two to three times a week. I can't help myself. The food is great and the staff is very welcoming.

We did a large catering order for Christmas Eve. Everything was excellent! All my guests raved about the food and especially the yummy desserts. I will definitely order from them again!

Maybe it's because it's 1:00 on a Saturday, but we were disappointed with our lunches. They were out of sourdough so we chose squaw bread for one sandwich. For the smoked turkey sandwich, they were out of baguette, so we chose squaw for that one, too. There was no Swiss cheese on this sandwich. I can understand that you'll be closed for 3 days and don't want to have food getting stale, but we were charged the full $13.00 for each. Have never had this experience before, so maybe it's just a bad day.

My sister in law recommended this place. What a great environment. Friendly staff, neat gift shop and great food. First time here. On Saturdays they have a breakfast menu, plenty of options to suit your mood. Ordered creme brulee French toast and breakfast burrito. Either option is enough for 2 people or if you're a hearty eater. French toast is more like a bread pudding texture, smothered with fresh fruit and two flavorful sausage.

Other diner with me liked the machaca in the breakfast burrito. He said it tasted home cooked. I'm looking forward to returning to try other menu items. Met Alicia and very kind. Value for the price of food I thought was very fair.

Love this little gem in brea! Wonderful staff and owner. Great Sammie's and drinks. Clean and comfy. Lots of holiday things in the gift shop.

I love the food but I'm used to eating very organic which this place is not. I do buy the soup in quantity at times to keep in the fridge to have on hand. I also love the gift shop and have a lot from there in my home. The owner is very kind, although at times comes across a bit snooty is what I noticed along with others that I've spoken with about this place.

Pay no mind to that. Everyone else who helps costumers are very courteous and so polite it brings a good balance. The desserts are super sweet. I'm not a fan due to them being too sweet for me. The iced tea you can't go wrong with. No sweetener added so add your own if it need be. Just the same, I like mine plain. I do like the sandwiches but keep in mind that they are very rich so plan on sharing or getting a half sandwich that they offer on the menu. You can also get the sandwiches without the cookie and fruit by paying less.

This is a spot to take your older female relative. She will love it. Half boutique half cafe. Sandwiches and soups etc. I have to take points off because my lemonade tasted spoiled and the staff was pretty indifferent

This place was recommended to my husband by a friend and let me tell you they did not disappoint! I came in with my family on a busy Saturday and the owner took the time to go over them menu with us and give us a few recommendations. Once the food came out she checked in with us to see how we liked it. The food was great and we felt so welcomed. We will absolutely be back!

So wanted the salad to be good but it was a "Maddy" BBQ chicken salad. Chicken was not cooked properly and had the little white tough tendons in it making it difficult to eat. The chicken was pinkish in color from the light bbq sauce it was bathed in and looked unappealing. Not the best type of greens and Ice tea was "off". You know that taste it has when its not longer fresh ice tea. Disappointing.

The watemelon wedge and strawberry garnish was lovely. Last time here I got drilled on why I was asking about what type of quiche and what went in the quiche. Whaaat? Um because maybe I don't like carrots in my quiche. Sheesh! I agree the place needs a remodel and updated menu. Items in gift shop WAY OVERPRICED. Yes, owner maskless, REALLY? And rude to boot!

I've enjoyed having lunch at Alicia's for over 25 years. The pink cloud sandwich is the best!

Super cute store and restaurant. They give you plenty of food for the price. Great staff! Hidden gem!

If you're looking for a whole fresh foods this is a must for breakfast or lunch. Also check out their store for unique gifts. I recommend looking at their menu ahead of time online and calling it in to lessen the wait time

Food is mediocre, bland and boring. It's 2021, local, small restaurants need to offer quality, tasty ingredients, not bland, poor quality food. The owner, Alicia, is unwelcoming, rude, snippy and grumpy. God forbid you honor a GUEST request of no tomatoes due to food sensitivities or allergies or ask for a simple pickle spear. Apparently, Alicia 'has never in 30 years been ever asked for a pickle spear.' Wasn't aware that was such an odd request from a Deli-style restaurant.

We will not be coming back. Perhaps Alicia and her business can learn to evolve with the times and start caring about her customers. Being kind and warm goes a LONG way, especially in these times.

I share a birthday with a friend's daughter and almost every year we meet at Alicia's to celebrate over lunch. I look forward to it so much because the food is fabulous, fresh, and flavorful and the employees are friendly, with a ready smile. The owner is usually always there and loves to come out to her guests and say Hello! Great place! Oh, and did I mention they have a wonderful little gift shop and packaged food to go? You'll love it!

I have nothing bad to say about this place. This place has been here forever and it's a Brea gem! Alicia makes the best food. The staff are so nice and courteous! Everytime I come here I can't decide because everything is that good. Food portions are always more than enough.

Heaven! Coming here is like entering a sanctuary. -The tip jar goes to charity -Staff is genuinely friendly and happy -food is fresh and healthy The only con is that the pricing is high but worth visiting once in a while.

I wish that I'd thought to take a picture of my order! I had a Brianna sandwich that came with brie cheese, chicken and green apple. So incredibly delicious I also had the potato cheese soup and with my sandwich came some perfectly ripe fruit. The honeydew was so sweet and juicy, it was like dessert all on its own. But wait! It doesn't stop there.

Along with my sandwich and fresh fruit came the sweetest pastry. I'm not sure what it was, but it had a fabulous fruit spread and a cheesecake type of texture. AND a chocolate cookie, which I thought to bring home to my son. I only ate half of my sandwich. The price, a little more than a standard sandwich, but the TASTE, totally worth the price. This was my first visit to Alicia's, and my girlfriends and I toured the gift shop which is attached after we ate.

They have an amazing boutique with a little bit of something for everyone! We didn't try any alcohol this go around, but since I'll DEFINITELY be back, I'm saving that for next time And by the way, the owner, Alicia, she was there personally greeting and talking to several of her obvious regulars. She's a real class act.

My friend and I had lunch there yesterday. august 12,2021! It was wonderful! Alicia was there. stopped by our table and visited for several minutes. very down to earth and charming. She even shared a recipe with me. The food was fresh and delicious! Her connected gift shop will put any gift shop to shame. She carries quality products! I can't wait to go back!

Just down the block from where I work and everyone in the office loves this place for lunch.

Try the "Pink Cloud" at Alicia's. Those who are not into rocking cranberries can try the skinny turkey---a healthy option at this landmark business. It was mentioned how Alicia's care for her patrons is unique. The pink cloud is a handcrafted sandwich and gifts cream cheese and cranberries for a true culinary experience. Viviana salad rocked my palate with fruit, rolls and cookies, thanks Alicia.

Take in a meal with sun in the happy patio/garden. Teas are unique and orders for on-site dining come in a basket. Heard weekend breakfasts are different than weekday offerings, do ask Lorin or Alicia. Grateful.

Love this place for so many reasons. One being that Alicia herself is an absolute joy to be around (fun and so inviting!) But another, that everything is genuinely made from scratch and with love. She takes pride in making sure the quality of what she serves is top notch. Side note, get the Italian with ham.you won't regret it!

Great family restaurant but I feel it's time to change the menu up a bit. It hasn't changed for years and no new items are added. Time to get updated to get more of the millennial crowds in from Brea and the surrounding areas.

First time visit, with a friend. Owner came up to chat, everyone very friendly. Food was yummy, service was quick! They have a lovely gift shop in the restaurant which I definitely plan to go check out when I have more time, today was kind of a rush for me. Great experience overall, can't believe I had not come in sooner!

Great food! Great service! Nice and clean and relaxing! Love the gift shop, I always find something cute and charming for a "one of a kind" gift for any occasion. I just wish they could be open 7 days a week!

What a cute little place! Solid breakfast menu with breakfast sandwiches, lox, quiches, french toast and cinnamon rolls! Everything seemed to come packaged in clamshells, which seemed wasteful for eat in options. But I'm sure this is due to COV19 restrictions. Large patio with lots of seating options and umbrellas for shade. You really have to know where you are going; it's located in a business park - but there is a ton of parking.

Make sure you don't change the order or Alicia might pay a visit at your table. It was our first dine in experience and didn't know exactly what to order. A simple request turned into a sarcastic banter which wasn't welcomed. Horrible customer experience. What happened to the customer is right, especially if they are the one eating.

Alicia's.you can't go wrong by stopping by. The food is delicious and the place is just so quaint. Food is home is made there. Somewhere you can meet with other women, your husband, friends, eat and have a delicious beverage There's a shop with beautiful and cute things, for inside and outside. You can eat, drink and shop. ALL IN ONE PLACE. What more can you ask for? Open on Wednesday's to Saturday's only. Alicia's is worth stopping by.check it out. We pray that she will continue for many more years.

Had the Cranberry Chicken sandwich, it was delicious! The rye bread was crispy and fresh. The plum was perfectly ripe! The best part, though, were the two cookies they included for dessert. Amazing!

I have to start by saying the food from this place is fantastic. My family is going through a tough time right now, so I've been picking up their dinners to go. We've been impressed by the careful planning of the menu and the delicious details of each meal. It's like getting the best home-cooked meal that you didn't have to cook.

If my review was solely based on the quality of the food, it would be 5 stars, easily. Unfortunately, this place is a covid outbreak waiting to happen. On numerous occasions, I've come to pick up my food and seen maskless customers. I've never heard or seen an employee remind them to wear a face covering. Today, I stood behind a maskless woman in the boutique checkout line, and when she got to the checkout counter, she and the employee, I think her name is Becky, engaged in a long conversation, justifying their family-gathering Thanksgiving plans by airing out their grievances about Gavin Newsom and how he'd definitely be spending his Thanksgiving at his restaurant in Napa.

I waited through this conversation that lasted after the business transaction was over, looking around at the almost solely baby-boomer clientele around me, many without masks on. I lived through March and April in New York. I know people much younger than Alicia's clientele who were hospitalized, and some who lost their lives. I'm sorry to be a party pooper, but as a business, you cannot be complacent in protecting your clientele, and most importantly, your employees.

What can be said about this wonderful place? From the moment we walked in the door I was overwhelmed with how cute everything was inside. Felt like walking into my grandmas house during the holidays! The smells of the food, the decorations, the cute boutique atmosphere. It's perfect. Spend a fortune in the store, and can't wait to visit again for another haul of goodies. It's hard to stop yourself from buying everything.

The food was delicious- pink cloud turkey sandwich, breakfast potatoes, creme brulee French toast, Tio burrito- just to name a few of our favorites. The pumpkin cinnamon roll was a hit with our very picky daughter. When she heard it was pumpkin she almost wouldn't taste it. But that soft sweet dough had her finishing off the plate. We grabbed to go items, and are so glad we did. Sausage rolls, chicken soup, sausage gravy (made our pork chop dinner mid week so much better!), and please don't forget the onion dip and homemade potato chips. Alicia herself is just the sweetest woman ever!

Everyone there had the best customer service, really made you feel at home. I am so happy we made the drive to Alicias and that our friends recommended her place. Next trip will be for breakfast with my 90 year old Granny. She can hardly wait. 10+ stars if I could!

Amazing little diner! I met Alicia she was great! She gave me some chocolate chip cookies that were huge and delicious. Atmosphere was positive. I had the lox bagel and it was delicious. I never had one before with Fresh basil and cucumber. Great locally owned place. They even have a retail side. Way to go Alicia! Look out Martha!

To my fellow Elites: Alicia's has been around for 45+ years and she absolutely deserves more of us to review her little piece of heaven. We need to get her to at least 500 reviews ASAP. The food is beyond what words can describe and you won't regret it-- trust me! First off, this gem is right off of Central & Berry in a little strip of businesses. It's easy to miss if you're not paying attention, so keep your eyes peeled.

All of the satisfied guests will tell you you're in the right area. You can order for pickup, walk in, whatever you please. Just be respectful and wear a mask before entering. When you get to the sweet gal taking the orders (or happen to get Alicia herself), let them order for you! Ask for their recommendations because they'll always know what is best in town and amongst all of the guests. I've done that both of my visits thus far and I haven't been disappointed; not one bit!

My only problem is that I come when I'm starving so I can easily agree to anything on a menu haha. However, when everything is as good as it is like Alicia's, then there's no problem! I've had the "pink cloud" and turkey & avocado sandwiches and they're simply out of this world. You can't ignore a heaven-sent gift like Alicia's sandwiches and her contagious personality. Trust me, you're hungry. And your mouth is watering and you REALLY need to eat here ASAP.

Great food with great presentation. Also ready yo cook or reheat items for purchase. Her quiche is a must if you go for breakfast - served wirh roasted baby potatoes, an apple sausage, baked apple slices and fruit. Don't forget to visit the small boutique attached.
