Biz News: No waffle sandwiches for Costa Mesa as Bruxie closes shop
Bruxie, a waffle sandwich shop at 279 E. 17th St. in Costa Mesa, closed for good Wednesday after about two years in business.
Bruxie is a local counter/window-serve chain that has been dishing up gourmet waffle sandwiches, fries, and desserts for quite some time. The 14376 Culver Dr location has received a solid 4.4 rating out of 713 reviews, making it a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. Unfortunately, it seems that the location has been permanently closed.
One of the standout menu items at Bruxie is, of course, the Bruxie Original Fried Chicken & Waffle Sandwich. Customers rave about the perfect balance of the crispy, not-so-sweet waffle and the juicy, flavorful fried chicken. Other popular menu items include "The Boss" sandwich and the "Nutella Banana" waffle for dessert. The french fries are also a hit, with a crispy texture and a variety of sauces to choose from.
While the restaurant is known for its counter/window-serve style, the customer service is highly praised by reviewers. Madison, in particular, has been recognized for her customer service professionalism and attentiveness. Fernando, the manager, has also been praised for going above and beyond to ensure a positive experience for customers.
The restaurant's location in Heritage Plaza puts it near several landmarks, including the Heritage Park Community Center and the Irvine Fine Arts Center. The park has a variety of recreational activities available, including tennis and basketball courts, and a playground for children. The Fine Arts Center offers art classes and exhibitions, making it a great destination for art enthusiasts.
Based on the reviews, Bruxie seems like a great spot for a quick bite to eat. While some reviewers note that the portions are large and filling, others mention that the food is perfect for when you're really hungry. The restaurant is also a family-friendly spot, with workers accommodating children and allowing them to run around and have fun. However, it may not be the best choice for a business lunch or an event space, given its counter/window-serve setup.
