Cafe Lorel - Oton Ka Gurha

I decided to stop at this restaurant after seeing it from the street. I always enjoy visiting family-owned delis, and this one did not disappoint. We easily found the menu online, placed our order over the phone, and everything was ready for pickup when we arrived. We both ordered sandwiches on French rolls, and the bread was incredibly fresh and fluffy. It alone would make me want to come back. All the other ingredients were also very fresh and flavorful, made with simple, classic ingredients. In addition to our sandwiches, we also got drinks and chips. The Hulapeno chips were a standout favorite for us.

Located conveniently just off of PCH with ample parking, Cafe Lorel greets customers with its eclectic theme as soon as they walk in. The café offers a variety of seating options to suit every personality. The standout feature, however, is the excellent coffee. Opting for an iced latte with extra shots of espresso, I was impressed by the perfectly brewed espresso that lacked the bitter and burnt taste often found elsewhere. The caffeine provided the kick I was after and left a pleasant sensation on my taste buds. Despite a tempting selection of bakery items, sandwiches, and other tasty treats, I settled on a blueberry scone, which turned out to be the best I've ever had. Filled with bursting blueberries, the scone struck a perfect balance between dough, sweetness, and fruit flavor.
