Very upsetting that this place raised it prices on Mother's Day! My plate was originally $22 on the regular menu, but on their "Special" Mothers Day menu, it was a set price of $35, $45, and $55!! It would've been cheaper to order online / to-go since those prices wasn't raised. My family of 5 total bill was almost $300!! Ridiculous! read more

I have been a fan of this restaurant for years, and I'm surprised it took me this long to write a review. Located in Costa Mesa right off 17th Street, this place used to be a regular haunt of mine when I lived in Southern California. It is tucked away inside a shopping center, but it's very easy to find. The shopping center itself is very eclectic, there is a a cookie store, a salon makeup places, a few other vendors and another coffee shop. But plums is definitely the star of the show. For starters I have to say they have some of the friendliest wait staff of any place I've ever been. Every single time that I've been there, staff has always been warm, friendly, greet you with a smile, and definitely takes care of your table. Speaking of the tables, the entire restaurant is very light open and airy. It definitely has a very warm, comfortable breakfast time atmosphere. Slightly modern but not overly modern to wear it. Distracts you from your food. They have so many great things on the menu. One of my favorites is the Vietnamese pork bowl, you definitely have to try that! The coffee is amazing, strong but not overly strong, and is just perfect. The atmosphere of the place is semi-quiet, but can get a little bit noisy if there's a lot of people inside. On this particular venture I tried something I'd never had before. The pancakes. Now this is odd because pancakes are my normal go-to. But plum's always has so many great things on their menu. I end up trying those. So today I figured you know what if I'm doing a review. I want to order the simplest item on the menu to see if they nailed it. Spoiler alert : they nailed it I ordered the two stack of the blueberry pancakes with lemon curd and it was phenomenal. Of course I had to do a side of bacon, as well as a milk with breakfast. If there was ever a perfect meal listed in any sort of registry, this would be it. It the pancakes were light and fluffy and the lemon curd was absolutely outstanding and the overall dish was just a pleasure to eat. The waiter that took care of me was friendly, attentive, and not overbearing. It was absolutely the perfect pace for a morning breakfast. Bottom line? If you are ever in cost Mesa and do not go to Plum's, you are cheating yourself out of one of the best breakfasts in Orange county. County. This place has been around for a very very long time, and the quality of the food and the returning clientele shows it. read more

I've given this place another chance and glad for it! We were gifted a mini cinnamon roll as an appetizer, which was awesome. Then we doubled down and ordered the giant cinnamon roll and were delighted how flavorful and moist it was. The iced banana coffee was freaking delicious and my girlfriend loved her hot coffee. I highly recommend the sweet potato hash, super flavorful and makes yummy left overs. read more

Celebrating OC Restaurant Week with the gorrllls. I had the opportunity to meet up with a few of my coworkers to celebrate one of the best weeks of the year. Plums has it all. A trendy vibe, caffeinated bevvies, and a stacked breakfast/lunch menu. I will admit that their pricing is on the higher side - but what isn't these days? I ordered their banana split latte and a breakfast sammie with turkey. This sandwich came layered with an over-easy egg and all the greens. I also loved their side salad, which came with fresh sliced strawberries and oranges. Their service was a-okay. They did forget about our crew towards the end of our visit, but otherwise were very attentive. read more

Plums is an OC staple brunch spot on 17th street. I would highly recommend making reservations and pretty easy to schedule the day before as it a pretty busy and well known spot in Costa Mesa. When you get seated, best play is to order the Dutch baby before your full order. It's an amazing pastry dish but does take about 20mins or so to cook. We added the berries and pro-tip is to squeeze the lemon, add the berries then sprinkle the powdered sugar. I ordered the breakfast sandwich with bacon. The greens to meat & bread ratios is fantastic. I love a well-balanced sandwich that doesn't feel too decadent. The side salad with a light vinaigrette was a great pairing. They have tons of refreshing cocktails and lots of options on the menu. Another great dish is the Vietnamese bowl but will be adding this sandwich to my brunch rotation. They have indoor and outdoor seating, I enjoy sitting inside due to the aesthetics since outdoors is just a little space between businesses and near parking lot. read more

Come back for brunch on last weekend. This Plum cafe always busy ( popular place !). We got a table around 30 minutes waiting.

Plums had me in a chokehold for months. Reel after reel of their famous 2-pound cinnamon roll had me dreaming, drooling, and fully influenced by these influencers that moaned after each bite of the cinnamon roll. So when my kids asked what I wanted to do for my birthday, I immediately said, "I need the 2-pound giant cinnamon roll." Birthday rules applied. They had no choice. I got to have my "yes" day. The wait wasn't terrible, it was about 30 minutes. We did have to sit outside in the rain, but there were heat lamps. It was fine. I even enjoyed the sound of the rain for a bit. Then the cinnamon roll arrived. Yes, it was massive. It was definitely Gram worthy and I received a lot of likes but... it was all looks, no substance. Four of us ate about half and took the rest home. Unfortunately... it was really dry. The best part was the very center. The edges were burnt and crunchy, not in a good way. It was just hard and flavorless. I left sadly disappointed. It was my birthday. I had waited so long for this moment, only to walk out of Plums utterly sad. Sometimes the hype wins. This time, it didn't. read more

Open from morning till 2pm, Plum's cafe is a local spot in Costa Mesa that specializes in brunch items. Most of their entrees run around $20 (except their steak and eggs and crab omelette). I went with their chocolate banana waffle ($20), that's topped with banana, whipped cream and caramel sauce. The waffle was chocolatey, and I enjoyed the caramel sauce and whipped cream. My wife and I shared their granny smith apple salad, which was a refreshing mix of greens, apples (dried and fresh), hazelnuts, pinot vinaigrette, goat cheese, and dried cranberries ($19) and added chicken for $9. I got their cinnamon roll latte ($10), which, to my surprise, came with a "mini" version of their signature cinnamon roll. Overall, this was a good experience for a early lunch/late breakfast as we got a nice balance. $28 for a salad with a little bit of chicken is on the steep end of what I'd want to pay for a light entree, which ultimately impacts where it ranks on my top brunch destinations; however, we did enjoy what we ordered and we would consider coming back if we were already in the area. read more

We tried this place again today. We walked in without a reservation around 10:30 on a Saturday. The place was packed, and the wait was about 30 minutes. They offer plenty of indoor and outdoor shaded patio seating, and the overall vibe is relaxed and easygoing. I ordered the Dutch baby with berries which was excellent, and my husband ordered the huevos rancheros and he was satisfied with his plate as well. They have lots of fun drinks on the menu, and I'm looking forward to trying some next time. Most importantly, our server was attentive and courteous and didn't rush us out like the server we had the last time. We will definitely be back again. read more

We were craving a Dutch baby pancake and decided to try Plums Cafe after seeing it on TikTok. The Dutch baby itself was pretty good, but the berries were an extra charge. I usually don't mind paying extra for toppings; however, the fruit wasn't sweet at all and was actually quite sour, so it felt like a waste. We also ordered the smoked salmon Benedict and were disappointed with the flavors--it was way too salty. The potatoes, however, were really good. Service was fast, but unfortunately the food wasn't even warm when it arrived, which was disappointing. Overall, the food had potential, but a few things missed the mark. read more

I had such high hopes for what has been said to be one of the best cinnamon rolls in Orange County. but boy, was I disappointed. I placed an order online because I wanted a cinnamon roll for New Year's Day morning. Since this place is about 25 miles from my home, I picked it up as late as I could on New Year's Eve. I came home to give it a little taste test before serving it to our family and guests the next day... and it was awful. It was extremely dry (both in appearance and texture) and looked and tasted stale. It also had a weird coating of dry, powdery, bitter cinnamon on the outer edge and was seriously lacking frosting. I would compare it to a day-old cinnamon roll from a cheap donut shop.. certainly not worth the $20 I paid for it. To me, there was absolutely nothing about this cinnamon roll that was noteworthy. It paled in comparison to the many photos I saw in other Yelp reviews. My guess is they couldn't keep up with holiday demand and pre-baked too many too early. Being forced to produce in quantities that are abnormal definitely makes quality suffer. Also worth noting: when I went in to pick up my order, the woman asked if I wanted a premade cinnamon roll or one to bake at home. I had no idea the bake-at-home option even existed and didn't see anything about it on the website (and I definitely would have chosen that option). But once she realized I had already placed my order and wasn't ordering in person, she said, "Oh, well you already ordered the premade one, so that's what I have to give you." I would say maybe next time I'd try the bake-at-home version, but honestly there probably won't be a next time. That cinnamon roll went straight in the trash, and I ended up driving to the mall to get a food court cinnamon roll instead, and it blew this one out of the water. Not only in FRESHNESS, but also in taste and texture... and they also gave me extra frosting (for free) when I told them we wouldn't be eating it until the next morning. So if you're trying to "upgrade" your cinnamon roll game and think you need something fancier, save yourself the time and money and just go to the mall. You won't be disappointed. read more

We waited about 35-40 minutes on a Saturday for a party of 2. We ordered the shirred eggs, eggs benedict, and lemon blueberry pancakes.

The inside bar area is cute and overall great vibe for weekend brunch. read more

Came to this spot on Sunday for brunch! It was busy and packed. It's located in a plaza with good amount of parking, but it might be hard to find during peak times. We luckily made a reservation and got to skip the wait. Unfortunately, we were seated outside so our table didn't get checked in too much. The food was delicious and portions are huge! Ordered a cinnamon bun un for the table and it was huge! 5 of us split and there was still so much left. I ordered the huevos rancheros and it was good and packed with pico and avocado. The tortilla was a weird texture. It was both soft and stiff at the same time, but it was hard to break apart. The sweet potato hash was also good but I was a bit disappointed to see the sweet potato was not in hash form but it was cubed. Their menu has flavors inspired from all over and they have a big drink menu. It's a nice brunch spot! read more

WOW! Yummy! I usually am not a fan of breakfast/brunch but wow it was so yummy. I liked that there were savory meals like trout and dungenous crab on the menu. I opted for Blueberry and Lemon Curd Pancakes. Soo fluffy and wow the flavor was beautiful! The lemon really complemented the blueberry. I also ordered the potatoes- honestly they are a pass I didn't care for them. I also got a lavender lemon drop which was yummy! This cafe is on the pricier end, about $50 per person. That said- it was worth it! Definitely will return, for a special morning out! read more

Came here on a weekend and thankfully went 30 min after opening so it was a short 15/20 minute wait for a party of two. Interiors of the restaurant is simple and modern, they also offer limited seating outside. Service was as expected for a Saturday morning. EATS SUNRISE ON 17TH- I love that they have a good handful selection of mocktails! It's really hard to find restaurants that carry alternatives. This was refreshing and a perfect blend which included Pineapple juice, blood orange purée and tonic water. DUNGENESS CRAB OMELETTE- this was a bit pricey but surprisingly there was a lot of crab in the omelette so it was worth it, very tasty and accompanied with a side of asparagus and hollandaise SANTA FE EGGS BENEDICT - hubby got this one but I had a few bites of it, eggs were cooked perfectly, chipotle hollandaise sauce was different ! *we also got pancakes but I forgot what they were called, decent -fluffy and the compote was flavorful! read more

My favorite spot for Bahn mi sandwich with salad & fries. Love this restaurant, great vibes & everything I order is delicious

Plums Café is still my ride-or-die brunch spot in OC. Every time I come, whatever I order ends up being phenomenal--like, they just don't miss. We usually sit at the bar since it's open seating, and honestly the bartenders are half the reason we keep coming back. They're super friendly, give great recommendations, and somehow make every drink taste extra delicious. I've tried a good chunk of the menu at this point, and everything has been consistently amazing. If you're craving brunch and you're anywhere near OC, I definitely recommend Plums. Just make sure you plan ahead--this place gets packed, especially on weekends and Sundays when everyone and their mom wants brunch. The vibe is chic, clean, and just... the perfect brunch energy. I'm obsessed. read more

Plums is one of the best brunch spots in OC. The food is creative, fun, and always delicious. According to my husband, they also have the best cinnamon roll he has ever had. Fun fact: if you ask, you can try their cinnamon roll challenge. You have 30 minutes to finish their massive cinnamon roll on your own. If you succeed, you win a fun free T shirt. My husband actually won the challenge, which made the whole experience even more memorable. The cinnamon roll is enormous and definitely big enough to share with the table. Next time we go back he wants to order it again, but without the time limit so we can enjoy it together. I ordered the salmon breakfast dish and it was superb. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared. If you go, make it fun and try the cinnamon roll challenge, or simply order the cinnamon roll to share. Either way, you will not regret it. read more

Tasty brunch vibes in the OC. Went for a Saturday brunch. Was super packed - make sure to make an RSVP beforehand. The vibe was pretty casual, but the food all looked very good. Ordered the Dutch baby and an eggs Benedict. The Eggs Benedict was a bit different as they use a different bread vs English muffin - think I prefer the English muffin as it soaks up the egg yolk better. The Dutch baby was delicious though. Would come back for that. read more

I enjoyed sitting in the outdoor patio on sunny, warm afternoon. Started off with their special matcha latte spiced with brown sugar, pumpkin, and star anise-- amazing! Not too sweet and I loved the spices on it, such a unique matcha. We got our savory dishes first, and my favorite was the breakfast sandwich paired with a side salad. It was delicious. Bread was crispy, bacon crunchy, cheese melty, avocado soft. The salmon benedict we subbed out baguette for a bed of house hash potatoes but I think the potatoes were too hot and ended up cooking our smoked salmon :(. It's very dill heavy, which I liked but maybe others won't. Last we ended with their famous dutch baby with berries (extra $6). I would consider this a texture experience than a flavor one. The texture on the edges is crispy and airy like a Chinese donut and the middle part is softer and chewier like french toast or pancake. Even with the powdered sugar, lemon, and syrup, I would say it's bland in flavor and needing sprinkles of salt. Yep salt. Overall, service was great and attentive and I enjoyed my entire meal experience! read more

Walked in and overheard manger apologizing to a couple for something and taking something off their bill not a great start. Wife ordered hot water and cup came out dirty. They have a good number of choices for food. I would say their prices are pricey but in April 2024 what isn't pricey. I ordered avocado toast for 20 and wife got pancakes and eggs.

I stopped by for breakfast early on a Sunday morning. I am sure it gets packed on the weekends, but fortunately we had an easy time getting a table at around 8:30am. Parking was easy with many open spots in the lot. There were plenty of options to choose from, but I decided to order the spinach and feta cheese omelette. In addition to the aged feta and sautéed spinach, it consisted of baby tomatoes and olives. It came with bread and I also opted to add a cup of berries. The omelette itself was very delicious. The ingredients complemented each other. The berries were perfectly ripe. Service was quick and friendly. Highly recommended spot for breakfast. read more

My family and I decided to come here for Mother's Day to celebrate and enjoy their food. However, when trying to order, they wouldn't let us order off the regular menu and instead we had to pay an insanely increased price for one entree off the Mother's day menu. Instead of only paying $22 on the regular menu for an entree, for Mother's Day the price jumped to $45, which now included a drink and small cinnamon roll. Not all of us wanted a drink or cinnamon roll, but we had no choice. If we had known that the prices would be so high, we would have just gone somewhere else. read more

I saw the hype about the two pound cinnamon roll on social media. I was skeptical - but i had to find out. I found out. Best cinnamon roll in California! Easily!!! I also found out that this is a gorgeous full service restaurant - not a bakery; that makes sense because this cinnamon roll is something you have to sit down to enjoy. They even serve it with a steak knife so you can cut through it without smashing it too much. The cinnamon roll is delightfully chewy and NOT overly 'doughey' - even tho there's a lot of dough. The dough-to-cinnamon ratio is perfect! So much cinnamon! - and sooo many layers, because they work hard to make the dough sections THIN - the = more surface for cinnamon! It is so worth it. But even two people couldn't finish it... The omelet was also good and the coffee was also on point. The cafe is beautiful and there must have been 60 people seated in the restaurant called Plums Cafe between the indoor and outdoor seating. OOOH! And i have to tell you this! They have one of the NICEST and coolest men's bathrooms I've ever seen. Picture excludes the urinal cuz that's just too much - but a cinnamon roll that good deserves to exist in a place with a. Bathroom that nice! read more

I haven't been to Plums Cafe in what seems like a lifetime, and I think they have only gotten better! They are voted Best Brunch in OC for a reason. It's always hoppin here, even on a Thursday! I always have to get a savory and sweet item because they're all so good. Personally I have always loved the coconut French toast. It has this delicious orange butter and the French toast has this crispy coconut coating. It's mouth wateringly delicious! Today I also tried the stirred eggs (I think that was the name). I never heard of it before and couldn't even imagine it, but WOW, it did not disappoint! It had this delicious and creamy sauce, with a tomato relish, spinach, egg and bread all made to perfection in a warm skillet. I'm hungry just thinking about it! Serviced was fantastic, restaurant and bathroom are clean. Shout out to all the staff and amazing cooks in the kitchen. I love Plums Cafe! read more

Wow. I was really impressed with this little breakfast restaurant down in Costa Mesa. I was visiting the area this past weekend from West LA and chose Plums because I had heard great things. I can confirm that it is really great and it was honestly better than I was expecting. What makes this place unique is that they have really unique menu items and everything is executed really well. It's in a small shopping center so there's plenty of free parking right out front and it's quite large on the inside. They have a lot of tables inside, and also have outdoor seating that is dog friendly. Our server was very polite and although the wait times are not as fast as a diner, we didn't have to wait very long for our items. I will say this is one of the best breakfasts that I've had this year, everything was seriously delicious. I started off with a Cinnamon Roll Latte and thought it was fantastic. It had great flavors and was pretty strong. Next we split the Giant Cinnamon Roll and it was amazing. It was way larger than I was expecting but somehow it was gooey and perfectly sweet throughout. It was not overly hard, or crunchy. For my breakfast I chose the Santa Fe Eggs Benedict Server Style, which means they swap out the ham for bacon and add avocado. This was absolutely fantastic. I especially liked the hollandaise, you can tell it was fresh and homemade and it had great flavoring. The eggs were also cooked perfectly and the bacon was unique and very peppery. It almost tasted like candy bacon it was that good. Overall a fantastic breakfast option and I would say it is one of my very favorite breakfast spots in all of Orange County. I would highly recommend to anyone in Orange County or even to anyone in Los Angeles or San Diego because it really is worth the drive. read more

My first visit here was about a year ago and we ordered their famous Dutch Baby Pancake. In all honesty, it was not worth getting since the berries, lemon sauce, and everything made the pancake center soggy and unappetizing - if you plan on ordering this at least have everything on the side. We didn't know this dish takes around 30 minutes but it came out quicker. I decided to give this place another try and my second visit was on a Monday around noon. We made a reservation but it wasn't busy - we opted to sit indoors because it was chilly but the vibes were so different compared to outdoor seating, and I would suggest that outdoors are more lively for groups whereas indoor dining is extremely quiet with the music at low volume. We ordered the Berry Waffle & Flat Iron Steak w/ scrambled eggs (also served with toast). We also ordered two sides of sausages ($4 each) but never received it so we just chose to void it. Our server did ask if we wanted the berries and cream on the side for the waffle, but I declined because I wanted the presentation to look nice for the photo. Yet again I made the same mistake I did one year ago so regardless of presentation, just opt to have everything on the side because they serve the waffles with a big scoop of cream on top along with the berries which mare the entirety soggy. As for the steak, we asked for it to be cooked medium rare but it came out well-done and tough to eat. You also can't go wrong with cooking eggs but apparently you can because the scrambled eggs themselves were overcooked and dry. We sat by the kitchen/bar area but it took awhile for service and to have us checked out when they are walking back n forth next to us the entire time. read more

We went here for my best friend's birthday and had an okay experience. We had a reservation for 11:30am and were not sat at our table till about 11:50am. I understand they were very busy but 20 min is a pretty long time to wait when your table should be reserved. The ambience was cute although we had a table that was basically on the side walk on the outer edge of the patio. The drinks were very good and balanced. However my main issue was the service. We were barely checked in on throughout our meal, frequently going 30 min without seeing a server. Towards the end of the meal, we had old plates of food sitting in front of us for probably 45 min without anybody coming to see if we needed boxes or if we were finished. I finally approached the staff and asked if someone could come clear the plates from our table and provide boxes. However one person came and just cleared my plate only. I know they were busy but we just weren't totally happy with our experience. The food was good but not great. Probably won't be back. read more

I thought this place was overhyped but after coming here more than once, I'm realizing it's not! I've tried both their sweet and savory dishes and I've enjoyed everything I've gotten (top picks: French toast, eggs Benedict, skillet eggs). They have a large portion so my friends are I typically share. What I really commend them for is their excellent service and how knowledgeable they are about what's vegetarian friendly. Also our server saw I was Muslim and informed us of which items had meat which I super appreciated. It does get busy so I recommend trying to come between 9-10 am to avoid the brunch/lunch rush. There are plenty of small tables of seats indoors and outdoors. I think they can also seat larger groups but I would recommend calling in. read more
