Loved this cute little spot. I went with family on a Sunday for brunch. There was a bit of a wait (about 45 mins), but sooo worth it! I got the Huevos Rancheros and it was delicious! Just the right amount of heat and the fries had just the right amount of seasoning. We sat outside with the nice fall breeze and it was perfect. I would definitely check this place out again!
Great customer service with a smile! Great atmosphere! Creative menu that delivered a happy and full stomach. Good ownership!
Cool delicious food, I will be there soon!

Plums Cafe, located in a quiet corner of Costa Mesa, is well-known for its heavenly cinnamon roll that has a loyal following.

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 Huevos Rancheros, the create your own omelette, and the famous dutch baby pancake. The service is friendly, attentive, prompt, and professional, creating a cozy atmosphere. Reservations are a good idea, especially during busy times, though the host stand is very helpful. 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 and the ginger peach tea. Hashbrowns and sweet potato fries will not disappoint.
