Village Market & Café — Restaurant in Irvine

I regret not having a picture to share, but that’s only because I couldn’t resist devouring the burger before I thought to take one. At the heart of this village market in Irvine is an exceptional chef named Parvaneh. Her warm smile and dedication to her craft are as unforgettable as the food she prepares. She doesn’t just cook—she brings meals to life with love and care.

The burger she crafted was nothing short of extraordinary, a masterpiece that could easily be served to a president at the White House. Even the way she wrapped it in food paper was an art form—functional, elegant, and ingenious. Using the paper, I enjoyed the burger with ease and precision—truly an elevated American experience.

Parvaneh is more than a chef; she is a culinary artist who pours her heart into every dish. Her talent, hard work, and passion deserve the highest recognition—a lifetime award from the state of California and the United States. If you haven’t had the privilege of tasting her creations, make it a priority. This is food that doesn’t just...

Amazing place! Has everything a normal store would have. (Fruit, veggies, cheese, many choices for sausage/meat, ice cream, milk, cake, chocolate, cereal, average things for home/care). It’s very cozy and has an outside area. The term cafe is correct because it has many drinks and pastries like Starbucks. The coffee is outstanding. They use the brand “illy” and it is delicious....

Breakfast burrito comes with Serranos bacon and sausage and it is delicious. Totally worth it. Baked goods here are delicious too!!! Don’t...
