“Michelin-Level Experience at Outback Prices The Wild Artichoke in Yorba Linda is a hidden gem. I was expecting something entirely different — and was pleasantly surprised in the best possible way. We started with the smashed potatoes and endive salad, which made for perfect appetizers: light enough not to spoil our appetite, yet full of flavor to whet it. The portions were ideal for sharing with my wife. For our main courses, we ordered from the lunch menu. I had the Wagyu burger, and my wife went with the tempura fish and chips. I’m not sure how they did it, but every bite was incredibly well-balanced. The fish had a crispy exterior, just the right touch of Maldon salt, and a beautifully firm, flaky interior. The tartar sauce was exceptional — rich, creamy, and unlike any I’ve had before. The burger was a standout. Each ingredient was distinct and purposeful — no unnecessary fillers. Every component worked in harmony to deliver deep, layered flavors in every bite. We ended the meal with the Basque cheesecake, which was beautifully presented. It wasn’t overly sweet, and the perfectly burnt top paired wonderfully with the sweet berry compote. A special treat was getting to meet the head chef. What a pleasant surprise. He shared the story behind one of his dishes and mentioned that every item on the menu has its own story and purpose. That passion really comes through in the food. I’ve dined at many fine restaurants, and I can confidently say the quality here rivals places charging $150–$200 per plate. The value is extraordinary for the caliber of cuisine offered. This is a truly special hidden gem — perfect for a relaxed lunch with friends or an intimate dinner date. I can’t wait to try the rest of their menu!“

“This is the real deal! Fabulous food from appetizers to dessert. Comfortable, casually chic, & just right. Enjoyed a bday dinner for 6, but dinner for 2 is next!“

“delicious food. all fresh ingredients. reasonable prices. outside dining is a beautiful courtyard with a fountain centerpiece - a tranquil oasis. the wait staff makes me feel welcome and at home. I have severe food allergies and the chef has been very accommodating.“

“It's one of the few restaurants I like“

“Go for it place for fresh croissants & relax with a cup of rose cardamom chai.✨✨✨“

“Pastries ok but skip breakfast omelets. No flavor, potatoes cold and after spending over $35 for bfast for 2 they still charge $1 for hot water. Lost my breakfast business.“

“AMAZING FOOD! The amount of options they have for their crepes is honestly a bit overwhelming at first but the fact that they offer so much more variety than your typical Nutella+ fruit combo makes this a place to find some unique food that's just as good as it is interesting!“

“we just hosted a birthday party for a 76 year old woman and we choose Mimi's Cafe as our location. I am so glad that we did they were more than a accommodating friendly and overall just a great environment. it was very affordable beautiful and we had a great time. The waitresses were very friendly and helpful. even with our delays we ran up about an hour late and they still accommodated us.“

“Came here to get a crepe this morning and was really blown away by their excellent service.

I ordered a Monaco crepe minus the blue cheese (they were out of blue cheese so I wanted to swap with Brie). Soon after I ordered, I was informed they were also out of Brie. This was absolutely not an issue for me at all. Ideally they’d have them in stock but I understand stuff happens. I ended up with adding extra mozzarella.

When my crepe arrived they offered me a complimentary macaron/drink for the inconvenience. While I declined bc I already had a drink/sweets for the day, I really appreciate the kind gesture. I appreciate how the staff kept me informed despite how difficult it is to be a food service worker and deliver “bad” news to customers. I don’t believe it’s worth getting upset at people trying to do their jobs.

At the end of the day, I did genuinely enjoy my crepe no Brie, no blue cheese. And it’s because the crepe itself was really freshly made with simple ingredients. It was a nice large portion as well. I hope to go back to try a sweet crepe next time! And I’m glad they’re across the street from me basically.

There’s no formal seating per se but there’s tables and chairs nearby. It’s inside rodeo39.“

“Yummy ! Every time we’ve been there it’s been really great. Good sandwiches and yummy. Coffee drinks“

“The cakes and tarts are great, but unfortunately they don't have an oven and don't heat up their croissants! Which is a bummer because cold and stale aren't the best. But other pastries like mille feuille and lemon tart were incredible. Best mille feuille I've had in OC! There's no place to sit inside the cafe, but you can take your food and pastries to the general complex with portola etc, and there's lots of open seating spaces there“

“Love this place for breakfast very tasty menu❤️“

“I used Uber Eats for a banh mi here today and it was delicious! I am originally from the Bay Area (San Jose) and I’ve tried many banh mi’s out here in OC, but I haven’t found a place that I really like until now. First of all, the banh mi’s here are super affordable. I ordered the cha lua banh mi (pork roll), and it was around $6.50. For those who have issues with the meat to bread ratio, it’s like an extra $1.50 to add more meat. The mayo-like spread here is amazing! I also tasted some Maggie seasoning in the sandwich, and I haven’t had that in a banh mi since being home, so that was a nice addition.

I also ordered the vermicelli bowl, and it was so delicious. For $15, this is a steal! It came with a good amount of vermicelli noodles, lettuce, picked daikon, fish sauce, cucumbers, grilled pork and two egg rolls. I’ll definitely be ordering here from now on!“

“My wife and I dined here this past February and it was astonishingly elegant. The moment you walk through the door, you are greeted by very professional employees of the club who offered sparkling water and hand towels while our table was prepared. Once ready, we were escorted upstairs to our table in the dining area. All four courses were some of the best dishes I have ever had and every waiter/waitress that served us that night were superbly professional. We were allowed to purchase some club 33 merchandise before departing for the evening. Absolutely phenomenal experience and if I ever get the opportunity to go back, I will in a heartbeat.“

“Great little spot ! The caramel coffee (iced) is just great! Loved the omelette as well ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great food and comfortable atmosphere!“

“OMG, Best service ever!!!! The food was amazing!!!! Thank you so much Joslyn for making my night very special. Me and my family will be back.“

“Quiet place on your way to the bridge that connects the two malls. First off the floors, display windows, counters are clean. It's a French place with freshly baked pastries, cakes, chocolate loafs, baguettes, sandwiches, salads, coffee, champagne and imported goods from France. I recently discovered this place. Their salads are so big and very fresh. They offer a few selections...a beet salad, chicken pesto Ceasar and a House salad. Their sandwiches are also made that day and once they are gone they are gone. The girls are super friendly with that French flair and ready to box up a whole lot of goodness for you. So much selection for a petite place. Skip that Yu Cake that isn't even fresh but bussed in from God knows where and try this place. It's so affordable and a step up from homemade. They offer umbrella seating outside and because it overseas the garden and water ponds... it's really charming.“
