We have eaten here several times over the years and always find it great for down home good food. The wait staff here is just so efficient and friendly not missing a moment to provide whatever is needed. Your appetite will be satisfied with more than you can eat. It is located in a small shopping strip and has parking... More

We stopped here at lunchtime on a Saturday. The cafe was very busy but we only had to wait about 5 minutes. Having been shown to our table, a very friendly waiter arrived almost immediately with glasses of ice cold water and a coffee pot. The waitress was equally efficient and soon had our order taken. Our meals were delicious... More

We took our seniors out for a breakfast outing. We like going to local independent places if possible. This time we had a group of 17! Mollies isn't too big and it was too cold for them on the patio. But everything was great. On a nice day, sit on the patio and watch the trains go by. We called... More

Mollies came highly recommended with a warning that portions were large. Very much like a 50's cafe Mollies is pleasant decor and good food. It was extremely busy which normally would put me off as I enjoy peace with meals. What was amazing was the ease with which all the employees glided rapidly from table to table, counter to kitchen..... More

I eat breakfast a lot here and sometimes dinner. Nothing fancy, they have been here for years, food is like you would get at home and doesn't cost an arm and leg

If I owned a reataurant, I would try to hire away the busboys here. The friendliest staff i have experienced in a while. Food was very good and we will definately go back.

Old fashioned diner with great food, service and value. Probably needs a face lift, but that would surely take something away from the shear charm of the place. Always a line, but worth the wait for a table. Breakfast is a big favorite here.

We absolutely love Mollie's. No wonder it is a "famous cafe", they do just great breakfasts. I can't seem to get away from the Chorizo and Eggs, but I've had several of the omelets including the Italian Meatball Omelet and when I am really in a mood I get the Trout and Eggs. You have to love trout for breakfast!

Always a good meal. My favorite is breakfast. A very friendly staff, tasty food with lots of choices, and a bottomless cup of delicious coffee. Every weekday morning and lunch they have a discounted special right from the menu. A best choice if your visiting San Juan Capistrano.
