Linda's Coffee House — Restaurant in Lake Forest

The apple fritters was really undercooked & doughy. I'm kinda disappoined again for the second time . Don't you love apple fritters with crispy edges & overall darker brown with actual diced apples you can see? My partner had the glazed donut & he said it was under cooked as well. My humble opinion, I think the solution to the problem is just fry the fritter a lot longer until they're crunchy & dark brown & blot the oil after frying. IDK, do most ppl like doughy fritters? And there is a cinnamon roll but I think I'll freeze it & bake it later. On a positive note. BF stated that the service is good & friendly. He stopped by after taking his cat to the veterinarian. We both had to wrangle the spoiled 🐈 but lovable kitty to Foothill Veterinary Hospital (Dr.Regan is the Best!) I guess BF worked up an appetite. Well, I want you to ultimately succeed whatever that is. Is it in a totally different field pursue that. If familial ties are binding you, you need to be honest with your family because we can tell your heart is not into making donuts now. And you only get one life. So pursue that dream. I can go find my f'apple fritters at Crown Donuts or DK but truthfully, I shouldn't be eating fried dough balls....

I am not happy. I ordered 4 regular donuts and 3 specialty ones. The lady there lined them up in front of her, and I thought we were all set. All she had to do was put them in the box. You can imagine my surprise when I got home and found 6 donuts instead of 7 in the box (3 regular donuts and 3 specialty ones). I guess I should have watched her like a hawk to make sure she did the right thing. In addition, she charged me $12!!?? She took the receipt and crunched it immediately before I was able to even look at it! Then she saw my surprise and asked, "Oh, did you want the receipt?" Are you kidding me?! Donuts are good but this is ridiculous!

No, thank you. I don't care how good your donuts are if you can't do basic math and can't pay attention to get my order right. I shouldn't have to police my order.

Never again. There are plenty of donut shops in the area. I am...

Linda's Coffee House is my favorite neighborhood coffee shop! They offer a little bit of everything from breakfast burritos, breakfast sandwiches, breakfast plates, donuts, pastries, sandwiches, and all kinds of beverages. My favorite things to order are the low carb tortilla wrap, steak breakfast burrito, and the protein shake (40g of protein)!

Their food is made fresh to order, their coffee is spot on, and their prices are extremely reasonable. They do get a little crowded on the weekends, but I've noticed it a little less crowded lately (maybe due to Covid)? You can call in your order in advance too so you don't want to wait. I recently called in an order for 10 breakfast burritos and they were ready within 30 minutes.

If you're in the mood for a quick breakfast or some donuts, definitely check out Linda's...
