roses doughnuts

One of my favorite sandwiches of all time is at Roses doughnuts! I pretty much grew up in Corona del mar and only discovered the place a few years ago...and really just started going there on a regular basis. Rose's club sandwich keeps me coming back! I get it on toasted squaw with a tiny bit of mayo,turkey,ham,cheese,pickle,olives,salt and pepper,and avocado.(it comes with lettuce,tomato and onion too)It's piled so high you almost can't get your mouth around it! It is such a treat! I order it with a large ice tea and lots of ice and I am in heaven!

Habanas

At the copa, copa cabana...well not really but in the anti-mall nestles a great cuban restaurant named Habanas. You can outside amongst hundreds of candles, lights and a bonfire or inside the candle inspired spanish/cuban decor. My little luxury of it all is ordering the plantain crusted chicken with rice,beans and plantains!!! It is amazing!This is a place where you can celebrate a special occasion or grab a great lunch with a business partner.

rooster cafe

i love the rooster cafe for breakfast in costa mesa! It's a little random but has such great healthy and non-healthy breakfast for so cheap! Some menu items as low as $4!. You order at the counter and everyone is always friendly as regulars visit daily! It's perfect for meeting a friend to catch up or even having a meeting...It's clean, cheap and good!!
