BC Cafe

Surprisingly, BC Cafe is a bit disappointing.  The Claremont location always seems to sport a line outside, and, while that's not true of the Rancho location, they do seem to be identical places.  

BC Cafe is OK, with good, if a little corporate, breakfast skillets and a wonderful orange/strawberry juice drink, but my meatloaf (not a typical for me) was mediocre, and Rocio has never been satisfied with it's food or service.  For me our last trip featured pancakes (another unusual order for me) the size of Connecticut served by a waitress positively hostile about Rocio's attempt to remake a breakfast item more to her liking (more fruit, less bacon, IIRC).  Ultimately, she was unhappy with all of the flavors.  

We actually do like BC's, and will almost assuredly return.  We just expected better.  3 tarts.
