I have never wanted so badly to be able to give an experience 10 stars.
The host stand was very helpful and sat us earlier than our reservation time, despite how busy it was.
We ordered the create your own omelette, the cheddar scone, and the biscuit. Everything down to the side salad was fresh and delicious, and I especially recommend the ginger peach tea. Our food came out promptly and I was very impressed.

Plums Cafe, located in a quiet corner of Costa Mesa, is well-known for its heavenly cinnamon roll that has a loyal following. The cinnamon roll is a work of art, featuring a shiny glaze, soft buttery layers, and a rich cinnamon-sugar filling. The frosting adds a touch of decadence to each bite. Customers often come for the cinnamon roll, which lives up to its reputation as a delicious treat.
The menu includes a variety of options, from savory dishes like the breakfast sandwich to chicken and waffles. The service is friendly and attentive, creating a cozy atmosphere. Reservations are a good idea, especially during busy times. Many customers appreciate the staff's willingness to make modifications to dishes, such as with the mimosas, which are a favorite, and the cinnamon roll, which continues to impress.
Other dishes are also worth trying, like the Giant Cinnamon Roll, which is larger than expected and perfectly sweet throughout. The Santa Fe Eggs Benedict Server Style, featuring bacon and avocado, has received praise for its fresh hollandaise and flavorful eggs. The breakfast sandwich, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked bacon, is often highlighted as a standout dish. The apple salad was very light, delicious, and healthy, adding to the variety of options. Guests also enjoyed the delicious iced tea with subtle peach flavor.
While some items like the Butternut Squash Hash may not always meet expectations, the overall experience at Plums Cafe remains positive thanks to its excellent food and friendly service. The outdoor seating is dog-friendly, although a dog menu could enhance the experience. The cozy atmosphere and delicious offerings make it a popular spot for both breakfast and brunch, and many guests look forward to returning multiple times. The large portions, fresh and flavorful dishes, and attentive staff have made this restaurant a favorite among visitors.
