Mustard Cafe & Grill in Lake Forest
Where Breakfast Rolls Easily Into Lunch
Mornings here don't rush. Mustard Cafe & Grill is a restaurant in Lake Forest, tucked into Foothill Ranch, open daily from 8 to 3, just the hours when the day still feels unhurried. The menu leans on the familiar and gives it a little more soul: shakshuka simmered with eggs, caramelized banana French toast, and a harissa chicken sandwich stacked with pesto and provolone on warm focaccia. Settle in at a table outside or inside the casual, family-friendly dining room: one traveler passing through stayed long enough to play a board game over coffee, and nobody asked her to hurry along. When mornings run differently, catering, takeout, and delivery bring the same table here to wherever you are.
