My husband and I LOVED this place! Always great healthy food and great service. We were SO BUMMED today when we went there and saw they are "Closed Today" sign on their doors. We ended up at Mother's Market and were told they are closed for good due to the rent being too high. Seems weird to us that a reputable company would fold its operation overnight. We are hoping they reopen soon....it was a really great place.

Cute little outside area and I love the concept. However, when I went, it took a very, very long time and "healthy" in my mind does not mean ONLY exceedingly low-fat. I'm bummed iI can't even get non-fat free milk with my coffee.

I finally tried this place and was very happy I did. I love that you can build your own bowl, and there are plenty of choices. They have some spicey choices, but my stomach prefers a rather bland diet. I was very happy with my choices!

The customer service and food is amazing. I am sleep deprived and scattered from having a newborn and the lady and gentleman with gorgeous blue eyes were so patient and accommodating with me while I figured out the menu. Mothers Organic Kitchen is lucky to have such an amazing staff and I am super happy to have access to such good quality and clean food around here! Thank you!!

Tomato soup for grilled cheese is marina sauce . Not bad, just not soup

I have been coming to Mother's my whole life. It has never been known for its great or speedy service. The food keeps me coming back. I was excited to see they opened a kitchen close to their original location in Costa Mesa. The service was actually good it's just a weird setup. There were two guys working behind the deli style counter but it took exceptionally long to get my sandwich. Won't be returning.

Delicious, healthy, & organic! I was so excited to try Mothers Cafe as I've been a Mother's Market shopper for years. The cafe honestly exceeded my expectations! Such a delicious filing meal. I got the bowl with greens, meatballs, mixed veggies, pickled onions, green onions, cilantro and curry sauce! So good! Can't wait to go back and try another combination *UPDATE* While the food always tastes great the service has been awful my last 3 or 4 visits. I come and grab a bowl or a juice here about twice a week and lately I have been super disappointed in the service. None of the employees ever smile or welcome you when you walk through the door they seem to be in a bad mood. On my last visit I waited in line for 10 minutes, I understand that they were busy but no one ever said we'll be right with you or thanks for you patience. I was next to order and one of the employees just walking around behind the counter was adding more ingredients into the containers even though they weren't even half empty, she continued to just wipe stuff down and go in the back kitchen. It felt like she was avoiding taking my order and wouldn't even make eye contact with me until she eventually had to. I find it odd that they don't take your name down when ordering from the juice bar, so when your juice or smoothie is ready you could still be waiting or it if you didn't notice it sitting on the counter. The last thing that bummed me out is when I went at 6:30pm they were out of chicken and brown rice, you'd think they would be ready and prepared for the dinner time rush. I really hate to give Mothers a bad review as I love shopping at their stores and have had great customer service experiences at their markets Their food is also great quality, but If I'm going to be spending 15 dollars on one meal I expect to be treated as though my business is appreciated. I hope that management will take my review seriously because at this point I don't feel like returning.

I realllllly wanted to love it because it would be so convenient for me! I love the idea of a healthy bowl. I came in at 5:30 PM on a Friday evening. Everything looked a little sad. Like it had been out all day. There are plenty of things to choose from and the price is right. I feel like if I came back at lunch when things are fresh, I might like it better.

I love this place the ALOHA GODDESS and add ginger and lemon that is my favorite juice! Andrew is awesome !!!! He is almost always here and he is so personable and professional he remembered my drink last time they are incredible love all the staff here!!!!!
Love this spot. So convenient and very friendly service. I had an awesome smoothie that was made perfectly. I would go back in a second. Lots of healthy choices for drinks and food. Also, lots of parking!

Excellent veggie bowls vegan bites are fantastic curry sauce is great red pepper sauce and avocado cream are both crazy hot spicy feta is very mild though nice and clean and quick and service is great too

The cafe is great with a full service menu. The only con is the time it takes for them to prepare your food. Count on being here for at least an hour.

This was like a glorified subway but with mean staff. Our food was prepackaged not fresh. They were out of two things. Constantly forgetting our order and just did not care about the people trying to order. I love mothers but will NEVER go back to this location.

I went in about 2:00 about a week after they opened. Staff greeted me, but it was all downhill after that. I ordered a bowl and the waitress gave me old chicken (just the shredded stuff) after the chunks of chicken were gone. Same thing with the vegetables. While she was putting both the chicken and the veggies in my bowl, fresh food arrived. She didn't even blink to offer me the fresh stuff. Careless, non professional and certainly NOT about offering the freshest food. Food was just ok for $11.00 bowl.
