The Cafe Krave — Restaurant in Anaheim

Came here for breakfast and didn’t realize They garnish with oranges and I have an allergy to oranges which is no problem I just let them know and they took the plate back to remake (usually how it goes with any allergies). The owner came up to us and asked what my allergic reaction was and I let her know it’s anaphylaxis but only if my food touches it, it’s doesn’t matter if it’s around me if it’s already cut and she told me that it’s impossible because the chef touches everything in the kitchen and doesn’t wash his hands so they can’t guarantee cross contamination. And I was like ??? Wait he can’t just not touch and orange and remake my plate for me. And she said no because the cutting board has orange on it and he touches everything and he can’t guarantee that he won’t touch and orange. Which makes 0 sense to me because all he had to do was just WASH HIS HANDS and everything would be fine.

So if you have an allergy or are worried about cross contamination this wouldn’t be the place to go. I’ve been to many places where they garnish with oranges or something someone else is allergic too and they just take it back and make a new plate without any contamination. She was also very rude about it and was shoving us out the door without wanting to fix the situation.

It makes me wonder what their health...

UPDATE: Drastically reduced their menus, removed their drink fountain, increased prices significantly. Still trying to automatically apply tips to online orders. Absolutely asinine hours - they don't open until 8, so don't even bother trying to get something before work. The won't do lunch orders before 11:15 - for SANDWICHES. It's not like they need to heat up a grill. You earn rewards points, but can't use them through online ordering. All this headache for a $15 sandwich on basic sliced store bought bread. Seriously, go nearly anywhere else.

PREVIOUS REVIEW: I come here at least once a week, sometimes more often. Super convenient if you are in the building.

Sandwiches are decent, though nothing surprising. The bulgogi bowl is good, too.

I usually order online and walk down to pick up. That said, I do find it REALLY SLEAZY that they default all payments - online or in person to a 15% tip. This is a cafe - not a sit-down restaurant with wait staff. Especially if I do the ordering online, and am coming to you to pick it up, who am I even tipping? It feels like it's set like that so people forget or...

After spending a week at Disney with the family, we were looking for a good place for breakfast before we headed out. We found the Cafe Krave, and the pictures and reviews looked like exactly what we were looking for.

Service was friendly. The cafe was clean, but the tables were too small and chairs needed some TLC. One of them had seemed to have been repaired with tape. Music was way too loud and the concrete floor didn’t help.

You could tell most of the food was prepared with fresh ingredients, but for the most part was very bland.

I got the burrito with steak at their recommendation. The steak was fatty and didn’t have any flavor. The salsa also lacked flavor.

My wife got the scrambler, and it looked great - but very bland.

My kids got the chocolate chip pancakes. One liked them, but the other one didn’t (she is picky).

Overall, the price reminded me of being in the park, without...
