Gypsy Den, Santa Ana, California, American Restaurant Details

Food:

Friend suggested coming here on Sunday around 1pm after browsing around Patchworks (arts/crafts festival). We were seated quickly. The menu was very simple, had about 15 items, no pictures on menu, just words. I consulted with Yelp pictures and saw some tasty items, but didn't see them on the menu. When the waiter came back, I showed him the pictures from Yelp, but sadly he said that they got a new head chef with a new vision so the former items are not available.

I ended up going with the Everything Bagel, which included tomatoes, some type of fish, bits of hardboil egg sprinkled throughout, light arugula, over some kind of sauce, all on an everything bagel. It was definitely tasty, but mine had a little bit too much sauce.

I also tried the fries with pork belly over egg dish. It was definitely tasty, but heavy. I felt quite sluggish and thirsty after this meal.

Service was great. Different staff members came by to check on us. They kept on apologizing for being backed-up and slow, but we didn't mind since we weren't in a hurry.

Interior decor is interesting in a good way. My friend and I were seated in the back so we had lots of privacy to catch up since most other tables are out in the open and noisier. I probably wouldn't come back again with lots of different options popping up around the area.

Food:

expensive! we ate there last night and the menu was stamped vaguely with only 7 items to Choose from. one meal (the short rib) looked like it said $13 and when the meal came it was smallll. tasty but small. bill came and it was actually $18. we also ordered chai tea and an espresso both of which were only warm and not satisfying we asked to get it reheated but maybe thry cant do that because the solution was to give us hot milk to warm it but it still didnt get it hot and it deluted the flavors. my uncle and I each ordered an open face rye and smoked trout sandwich which they served to us on one plate to share. would have been awkward if he wasnt family. it was good but not $13 good. nobody was full or satisfied at the end. luckily next door had some free samples of their cooking school to fill us up a little more. I gave it a generous 3 stars because we have been there before when. they had a real menu with decent prices and large portions. hate how they changed.

Food:

Food:

The Gypsy Den is truly one of the many hot spots in Downtown Santa Ana. The restaurant is located on Broadway next door the previous (Memphis) and across the street from C4 Deli.

The atmosphere is very artsy and has a cozy ambiance. It also has a rustic feel to it but it's a great spot to enjoy some coffee, grab a bite or drink with some friends. I recently came to the Gypsy Den with a friend to have a cup of coffee and a quick snack. We both shared the "Hummus & Pita" & the "Grilled Vegetarian Quesdilla". The hummus was excellent and the quesdilla was freshly full of flavor. Since I have a bit of sweet tooth, I also ordered the "Caramel Latte". The latte was good, just a tad on the sweet side. On my next visit, I want to try the dinner menu.

Gypsy Den also hosts special events during the week. For example, Monday's are open mic nights and live music on the weekends. If you are in DTSA, Gypsy Den has to be one of your stops. Fun place!

Food:

"Relax with your hipster friends" at this "arty" coffee-shop chainlet, which concocts an "amazing" (and "affordable") Californian menu highlighting "healthy" vegetarian options; the "yard-sale" interiors are "a feast for the eyes" with "funky vibes" abetted by a "welcoming" crew.
