Olive Seed, olive seed, where are thou olives? This is one of those times where I should've done my homework rather than just letting ratings do the judging. What's famous here are their bulgogi burritos and all things K-pop, don't get me wrong, I love me some bibimbap, just different expectations. Which comes the next point of a cafe/restaurant, standing at the counter smiling like an idiot isn't going to get you attention, get with the times and use those self service kiosks these restaurant owners invested so much for. Ordered a breakfast burrito without bacon, option available for omitting any ingredients but nothing about replacing or adding. The side avocado came on a plate on a thin cut bed of lettuce before my first AND second burrito came out. Sitting there.. just sad, oxidizing as my stomach drools. The first burrito came out with tons of 'bacon' to which my friend Tim tried some before the lady saw me picking them out and realized a mistake had been made and a new burrito was being made. Tim said the bacon were bland and amazingly saltless, cut thick like how I grew up knowing them to be. Not thin, wavy and crispy like Americano-burgeriano like. Second burrito was good, piping hot and filled with eggs. Burrito blanket was the large 12-14" kind but it's filled without further grilling. Side potatoes were fine. Drip coffee was also fine. The lingering throat punch is subtle. If I was younger and works a trendy job I would totally come here with all my good friends.

Croissant Waffles W/ Fried Chicken
Anthony R.

This Korean brunch spot was so yummy and delicious! Staff was very attentive whenever we needed stuff like extra sauces, trash, utensils. The croissant chicken waffles were really good and the breakfast burritos was amazing! This is a fun go to brunch spot that is low key with good vibes with friends and family.

Croissant Waffle  W/Fruit
Jocelyn Y.

Yummy fusion spot w reasonable pricing. My group went to celebrate a friends birthday, and the food was delicious for the occasion. We ordered the carbonara, kimchi carbonara, fried chicken, brioche french toast, waffle, and salmon benedict. My favorites were the kimchi carbonara and korean fried chicken. I had the salmon benedict when freshly served, and the bagel was soft and soggy (I wish it were more toasted). The regular carbonara felt like it needed more flavor, french toast brioche and waffle taste as expected. At Olive Seed you order at the front and they bring you food. Since my party did family style, they gave us paper plates to split the food. Overall food was pretty delish, staff were friendly (we kept asking for more knives and napkins), not sure if I'd come again because food was not exceptionally good.

Breakfast Burrito
Nicole C.

I have visited Olive Seed Cafe a handful of times! They have a wide variety within their menu. There's Asian inspired items with some American in-between. This particular day I tried their breakfast burrito that comes with a side of potato's and salsa. I was very pleased. The girl that took my order was extremely sweet and made sure to check on us after the food arrived. I have also tried their strawberry matcha, Bulgolgi Burrito, Bingsu's, and avocado toast. There were all delicious! It's always great supporting a small family owned business in OC.

A hidden gem in Yorba Linda's Town Center! Olive Seed serves delicious Korean-fusion brunch without the crowds or high prices. The atmosphere is lovely , the Soy Garlic wings are crispy perfection , and the carbonara pasta is richly satisfying . Their souffles and waffles look amazing too. With $4 coffees and hearty mains, it's easy to enjoy a full meal for around $20 per person. Don't forget to check-in for a free matcha latte or Einspänner! A top choice for a quality, affordable, and tasty brunch experience.

Kimchi carbonara spaghetti
Joy W.

Came here for lunch on a Monday. We got the kimchi carbonara and the bulgogi burrito. The kimchi carbonara was a generous serving filled with huge flavors! This creamy saucy pasta was delicious! The bulgogi burrito was nothing special. It tasted like a typical breakfast burrito. All-in-all this place was decent, I'd definitely come back and try something else.

Strawberry Matcha Latte $ 5.25 & Ice Hazelnut Latte $ 5 2.08.25
Mimi J.

Review 15/365 Challenge Came here on a Saturday for brunch around 11:30 a.m. Ordered something light since I was headed to a birthday party at 2 p.m. What we ordered ~ CroffLe. Highly recommended, so yum. It's a combination of a waffle & croissant combined. Not even sweet and deliciously made. More on the sweeter brunch dessert side of the menu. ~ Strawberry Matcha Latte $ 5.75 isn't sweet along with I didn't get much of the strawberry flavoring. If you see the photo of the drink. A bit disappointed there. Looks like they've expanded their menu quite a lot by adding bingsoo (Korean shaved ice) & a few other items since the last time I visited here. Along w they reduced pricing on their menu items too beginning of the year. It was pretty busy with constant foot traffic, dining indoor and outdoor on patio along w right outside of the restaurant near front entrance where they have tables along w chairs/umbrellas and patio seatings w cushions.

Carbonara Pasta
Aurora W.

Updated my review- the whole place got a makeover and so did it's menu. Some of my favorites like the carbonara or some other Korean items I wanted to try (eg ramen) are no longer on the menu. The classic breakfast also used to come with an option of a crossaint waffle and now they no longer have that - so its either a pancake or sourdough bread. So that's a bummer considering we love the waffles there but not enough to order a whole separate plate of it. The menu is also confusing to look at because the descriptions don't even match the dish names. There are options to order at the counter or the kiosk. After that, you're handed a number to find seating. We found seating at the table in the corner near the bathroom (there were no other tables available) and it smelled really bad so we had to switch tables. Although that was not so great-When the food arrived, it was good and I will say that my tiramisu latte was enjoyable and I really liked it!! I think they have a few kinks they need to work out (like their menu) and speeding up their service, but I'll give them some time to do that before I return again!

The Tteokbokki
Eun S.

The Tteokbokki was amazing. It had a rich broth, perfect seasoning, not too spicy. It's yum! Next time I'd love to add noodles. The Panini was just perfect and the einspanner wasn't too sweet, which actually paired surprisingly well with the Tteokbokki. Both Bingsu desserts were refreshing, not too sweet, and packed with fresh fruit--such a perfect way to end the meal. On top of the delicious food, the warm and friendly service made us want to come back. Can't wait to return and try more dishes next time!

Brioche French Toast
Steve Y.

Food was amazing. Service was fast. Lots of seating both inside and outside. Ordered the brioche french toast and bulgogi burrito. French toast was thick and light and the burrito had tons of flavor. Brunch only. Would def be coming back

The place is inside a plaza, next to Bristol Farms and downtown Main Street. It's a cute little shop that requires you to order, whether it's on the kiosk or with a cashier, in front with self-seating. We decided to bring our number placard to an outside table to enjoy some sun. The food was decent and very flavorful but not spectacular. The Frutti di mare spaghetti had a great amount of garlic, but very tomato focused. It's something that reminded me of store-bought Ragu or Prego sauce, without any added spices. The ribeye kimchi fried rice was filled with savory kimchi juice or gochujang sauce, I brought it back home to add a bit of white rice to dilute the sogginess of the rice and flavor. The croissant waffle with Nutella was surprisingly brought out first as a dessert, but it was delicious fresh and fluffy. Best dish of the meal. I also ordered the mint mojito latte which was very good. I would say it has a better mint flavor than Phil's coffee! There's a lot of food options to choose here, from breakfast to Asian fusion Korean dishes, to dessert. I'm sure everything is pretty good, especially if you're not familiar with Asian flavors.

Dia N.

Absolutely phenomenal cafe with delicious brunch menu items. I was super excited to see their menu consisting of Asian flavors but brunch style. I was even more excited when I saw they had pasta carbanara for lunch. I ordered the spicy rose pasta and it was amazing! You order up front, grab a number, and they bring out your food. The service here was super friendly. This would be a cute spot to meet up with a friend for a lunch date. Parking options are either in the lot or at the parking structure. They also offer indoor and plenty of outdoor seating. Definitely one of my new favorite spots in Yorba Linda.

Kimchi Fried Rice and Prosciutto Panini
V S.

The restaurant is in a nice plaza with a Bristol Farms around the corner. Abundant parking. Food was delicious! We got the kimchi fried rice, original fried chicken, panini, and Spanish coffee. It was a nice day, so we sat outside on the patio. Friendly staff provided quick service. We will be coming back for the fried chicken for sure!

Hi Annie, We use vegetable oil in our normal food. We use Extra Virgin Olive oil for salad dressing. Thank you for asking.

Does this establishment have bottomless mimosas? If so, what's the price?

No, they do not.

Does the place have beer and wine or any sparkling wine?

I don't think they have a liquor license there...I was just there last week, and I didn't see any of that on the menu.

Do they offer gluten free items?

In reviewing the menu from this link there is no indication of any item on the menu being gluten free. That would be most helpful.

Is there out door seating/ is it dog friendly?

Yes. The common area of the town center out front has tables and patio furniture. There is also a back patio with several tables.

They only had espresso based drinks. OK, it's caffeine. We ordered a large latte, thinking it should have at least 2 shots of espresso. What we got was a milky drink that barely has any coffee flavor. Maybe they were running out of espresso too? Regardless, almost $7. each for a cup of coffee flavored milk just didn't sit well with us. It's too bad, because I went to their other location and they were more passionate about their coffee and even made excellent recommendations. I think at this location, the gals just wanted to go home. * no photos because I left my phone in my friend's car

The plaza is currently undergoing construction, but the cafe itself is super cute inside! The barista greeted us right away, gave us a few minutes to look over the menu, and was happy to offer assistance when we needed it. DRINKS: I ordered the Ube Latte, and it was so flavorful! The ube and coffee blended really well together. My boyfriend tried the seasonal Almond Joy Latte, made with house-made coconut simple syrup, chocolate syrup, almond milk, and espresso. The almond milk flavor was pretty prominent, so I'd recommend it if you enjoy that flavor profile. He really enjoyed it! FOOD: We sampled both the Ube Mochi and Butter Mochi. The Ube Mochi reminded me of Filipino ube halaya, although you had to look for the ube flavor a little. The Butter Mochi was sweeter and more flavorful, so we ended up ordering a full-size one. It tasted even better warmed up! Overall, we had such a lovely experience. The service was warm and friendly, the space was welcoming, and both the drinks and food were delicious. I'm already planning to bring another friend with me next time!
