About The Filling Station Cafe
Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
The cutest brunch spot in OC! Once a 1920s gas station, this cafe is full of history while still feeling warm and welcoming. There’s such a strong community vibe and the nostalgic touches, like the original gas pump, make it a fun and unique place to dine. We wanted to sit on the patio with the colorful umbrellas and fire pit tables, but the rainy weather had us dining indoors instead, which was just as cozy with the cute decor. The menu is stacked with breakfast favorites, but we went with the specials and they were all delicious and perfect for sharing. • Chilaquiles with Pulled Pork-so much flavor and satisfying • Crab Cake Benedict: rich, with perfectly cooked eggs • Dubai Chocolate Pancakes: our sweet finish Portions were generous and the service was excellent.
The cafe is more like a restaurant and there was a short wait which was well worth it. Service was absolutely awesome and the food was equally delicious. This place has high ratings for a reason and I would definitely love to come back. Oh by the way, I scarfed down the blueberry pancakes which were really good. I’m looking forward to going there again.
As a New Yorker, I'm picky about diners and The Filling Station Cafe is pretty close to a New York diner. Great food, huge portions, fair prices. The steak was cooked perfectly and the breakfast scramble was loaded. This place is the real deal
A great American brunch spot with beautiful indoor and outdoor seatings. Of course they have great food with generous portion. It’s always crowded regardless of weekdays or weekend!! I had: 1. Pumpkin pancake 2. Old towne club - turkey, bacon 3. Eggs benedict 4. Nutella French toast
Such a cool diner in the heart of Old Town Orange! I ordered the eggs Benedict with the hash browns and everything was cooked perfectly. The portion of ham I got was large too! Inside, the restaurant resembles an old school diner and they also have a really nice patio too with lots of shade. Friendly staff, reasonable prices, delicious food, and the perfect location. I will definitely be back again.
