Omelette Parlor- Costa Mesa, CA

It's hard for my SO and I to find a breakfast place that we thorougly enjoy and want to come back again and again. The Omelette Parlor in Costa Mesa has seen us 2x in the past 2 weekends.

I'd say that was pretty damn good.

It's located in a plaza where a supermarket is (either Ralph's or Albertson's) and situated in a corner semi-hidden. The name might also be confusing as well since the sign says Chester Drawers Inn and it also says Omelette Parlor.

Walking in, you're greeted by Big Boy's cousin to your left.

And then greeted by this sign:

The interior is very well lit with natural light almost like sitting in your own kitchen with the curtains wide open. Kitschy decor like roosters and carriages suspended from the ceiling decorate the place. If look closely enough at various parts of the wallpaper, you'll find amusing artwork.

Flipping open the menu you'll notice that every dish has a unique name. I ordered an omelette called the Art Center (I think)

Gigantic omelette with chunks of ham and pineapple as well as cheese and mushrooms. A very hearty portion of potatoes is included, side of fruit, and wheat and nut english muffin that comes with an amazing apple butter spread. The past 2 times I could not finish my omelette but everything was really delicious and fresh. The food comes out fairly quickly too. The potatoes had little bits of crunchy skin in it which I love. And oh, the apple butter spread...... a little paper container of dark caramel colored goodness!!

My SO got the Two to the Max dish:

4 slices of french toast, eggs, fruit and either 4 bacon or sausage. He always polishes off my plate when he's done with his. He's gotten this dish twice so far and he enjoys it a lot. I'm not too big on french toast though.

Apparently, the Omelette Parlor does not serve pancakes on the weekends, so if you want them, go on a weekday.

Omelette Parlor, we will be back!
