Iconic OC Brunch at Plums Café (TikTok-Famous Cinnamon Roll)

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.

Amazing food ! Went here for Mother's Day and my wife's birthday, the place was so beautiful and clean. Wife loved the giant cinnamon roll

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!

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!

This place is 10/10!!!! The food was so tasty and delicious. every plate looked so appetizing I wish I could have tried them all. They are big portions which makes it worth it for the price. The service was QUICK. We had a large party about 15 people and we ordered and got our food super fast. Our server was amazing! Tall blonde man, didn't catch his name unfortunately. The ambiance of the restaurant was great, friendly, and very organized. 5 stars! Would recommend to everyone and will definitely go there again!

Came here at the recommendation of friends who dined a few days earlier. We were in town for my wife's birthday and decided to bring her here for breakfast. Food was good and fresh although it did take a while. Service was good and the restaurants outside seating was very nice. Would definitely come back if were visited the area again.

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.

Husband brought me here on a busy Saturday & did not disappoint. Been on a pancake obsession, decided to get the raspberry pancakes with vanilla cream. SO DELICIOUS. Ended up getting their 2 pound cinnamon roll, ALSO DELICIOUS. Amazing service as well. Even with it being super busy, the staff was always checking in on us, making sure every thing was to our liking. Always appreciate the great service. Will be back to try their other pancake options!

Took my lively wife and daughter to enjoy a nice breakfast. It's been a long time since i have been to plums and it did not disappoint. We all truly enjoyed our meals and the service was great. It packed out quite fast, but still very pleasant and clean. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, so i look forward to place like Plums. I appreciate good service. Even once it became a full house, they still served us well. You can see the food, and while i don't suggest a single person eat that whole roll, it was very tasty. Highly recommended.

This place deserves 10 stars! The service was great! The ambiance was perfect but the food was outstanding!! I Britney wife for her birthday breakfast and she always not disappointed!! Will b back for sure!

Lovely service and it was packed at 9am on Sunday. Definitely recommend reservations because we only got seated thanks to a no-show reservation. Parking is decent and dogs were allowed in the patio. The dutch baby is just like the one at The Original Pancake House which is also delicious and very filling. They came out quickly and offered plenty of syrup and powdered sugar. They offer Rishi with a cute cast iron teapot if you want hot tea. Overall, a little noisy but lovely place to have brunch. Lots of boutiques in the area too.

The perfect little spot for a cute Sunday brunch with the girls. They were very organized with check in and all the staff was polite and attentive from beginning to end. But the food was the main seller! $30 champagne flights and the lavender lemon drop was really refreshing. I got the Vietnamese pork and egg bowl, the pork was DELISH! It was tender but crisp and the over easy eggs over their house potatoes was the best. 10/10

I am so happy we stumbled upon this place. We came on a holiday weekend. There was a wait for a table but no wait at the bar, so we went for the bar as the full menu was also available there. The staff were so welcoming and friendly as our order was taken right away and they shared their favorite sips and bites. The food was incredible!! We ordered the Sweet Potato Hash and the Plums Biscuits and Gravy. It's not often I clean my plate but at Plums, every bite was delicious that I couldn't leave anything behind. I cannot wait for my next trip to the OC to try out Plums again!

Came here to celebrate my milestone birthday with a girl friend. Our orders: - crab omelette: ORDER IT! A very generous crab portion, wrapped in a very yummy tasty flavorful omelette. I would love my potatoes a bit crispier (or crustier/crispier) on the outside and just a tiny bit more salty, to be honest. - flat iron steak and egg: ORDER IT! my friend's order. She said very good! - Plums famous Dutch baby: ORDER IT! Food was great, service was even better! Our server, Chris, was very attentive and efficient. We stayed from 10 am until the restaurant closed at 2 pm. Will definitely come back to try other things!
