Cream & Sugar Cafe — Restaurant in La Mirada

Ive currently sat here for 15 minutes waiting on my simple, on the menu, no frills, no substitutions coffee. I was running late so I thought instead of sitting in line at Starbucks I would run into this small shop. There were two people sitting inside waiting together and they had already ordered.

Pretty bummed about the decline of this once-relivke local coffee shop. Hope they are able to...

This is definitely not one of the best brunch places I’ve been to. It reminded me of one your typical early morning hotel breakfast. I didn’t see or taste anything special about the food.
