Bluberry Social - idk - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Irvine, California

The best waffle I've ever had! This spot felt like Irvine's best kept secret. I've been reminiscing about how good this waffle was since I had it last. You order and pay first, find a seat, and they bring you your food. The drinks came out first, then the breakfast! I thought the latte was good, but nothing too standout. I'd love to try their matcha next time. The bacon was cooked perfectly and the tots were crispy! The waffle had a nice crunch and was so fluffy inside. It was a perfect balance with the fresh fruits. We also had the pancake as well, but much preferred the waffle. They have a happy hour menu I wanted to try, but I'll save that for next time! Will definitely be coming back here! Love the vibes inside. read more

Bluberry Social - Waffle - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Irvine, California

I had been looking forward to trying Bluberry Social after seeing all the great reviews, but it ended up being a bit of a letdown. The restaurant has a cool aesthetic, and the food presentation is definitely there, but the meal just didn't match the hype. I was planning to order one of their specialty drinks until I saw mochas & matchas running around $8 to $10. I know OC isn't cheap, but those prices were enough to make me pass. We ended up grabbing drinks at the H Mart grocery store a couple doors down instead, and another person in our group ended up eating at Chai Lan. That's just kind of how lunch unfolded. I ordered the Chicken Koko Moko. It's a good-looking plate, but the flavors never really caught up. The panko chicken was just okay. The Kona macaroni salad ended up being the best part of the meal, and the tater tots were crispy and good, although the portion felt a little skimpy. Another person in our group ordered the Big Breakfast Burrito. For about $18, it felt surprisingly small. The bell peppers completely overpowered everything else, and the eggs had that pre-mixed, poured scrambled egg texture rather than tasting like freshly cracked eggs. That one was an easy 2/10 and definitely not something we'd order again. I was also surprised they couldn't do something as simple as plain pancakes for the kids. It seems like an easy accommodation for a brunch spot. What surprised me most was how I felt afterward. I only ate about half of my meal and took the rest home, yet I still walked away feeling unusually bloated. I wanted this place to be one I'd recommend because it certainly looks the part, but for me the experience never matched the setting. Still searching for that brunch spot in Irvine that makes you want to plan your next visit before you've even paid the bill. read more

Went for a late lunch on a weekday. You order at the counter and grab a seat - everyone who works here is friendly. Drinks were average but not worth the price. The double strawberry wasn't too sweet but didn't go very well with the espresso in it. My honey oat latte was decent. The Italian spritzer was questionable. The French onion soup was delicious. I would definitely get this again. While the turkey sandwich was presentable and ingredients tasted fresh, I really didn't like the structure of the sandwich. All the proportions were strange. The avocado and turkey were squeezing out constantly and the tomatoes were falling off the edge. The focaccia bread was fine but not the best vessel for this sandwich. I don't think much thought was put into the experience of eating versus just the presentation was considered. The breakfast burrito was good but only had 6 tots which was kind of sad looking. Something was truly wrong with the brussel sprouts. It wasn't fresh. I'm sure they overdid the balsamic to cover this up. It was also muggy inside with flies flying everywhere. It was hard to enjoy eating while sweating on the velvet furniture. We also tried the chocolate chip cookie and the maple oatmeal sandwich cookie. I wouldn't get either again. I don't know if I'll come back anytime soon but perhaps will give this place another try someday. Edit: changed from 2 stars to 1. Those brussel sprouts were definitely spoiled. That's disgusting to serve to customers. read more

Happy July! I haven't been back to socal in sooo long! A friend recommended coming here as a place to grab lunch and catch up with friends. It is located in a plaza with lots of parking. You order at the register and they give you a number. They bring the food to your table. You can choose to sit outside or inside. When we went, there were no available tables inside. Happy hour starts at 2, which worked out for us! We all ordered different dishes. Jill's combo, chicken Koko moko, veggie omelette scramble, blueberry ricotta pancake, country kitchen breakfast, poke nachos, and truffle fries Drinks: mimosas (comes with extra champagne), blueberry matcha latte, strawberry matcha latte, espresso martini, berry collins. The individual pancake is super big. We were worried about the portion but turned out to be incredibly large. I had the country's kitchen breakfast, which was a simple but delicious meal! One thing I wish I knew was that they put cheese on top of their salad. Unfortunately, I don't eat cheese so I didn't eat the salad. However, everyone I was said the salad was delicious. Drinks were delicious! I would def recommend going during happy hour. Drinks were $9 Overall, it was a great place to enjoy food and catch up with friends! read more

Blueberry Social is AMAZING! I can't wait to come back. The line was quite long to order at the register. It went out the door and I think we waited about 30 minutes to order. Once you order, you can choose a seat inside or outside in the plaza. We opted for inside. They seem to have limited staff, which means they are bogged down by lines and serving resulting in limited tables being cleaned. I got the blueberry lemonade and it was a good mix of tangy and sweet! Highly recommend if you're not in the mood for coffee/matcha. I ordered the chicken koko moko and it was DELICIOUS! The chicken was breaded with panko which made it really crispy and a fun texture. The rice had the same gravy on top of it. The mac was also classic and great. The only con was that the egg was a little over, but nonetheless still edible. Highly recommend!! read more

Bluberry Social left me with mixed feelings. The atmosphere is easily the best part of the experience: bright, modern, and spacious without feeling overly trendy. It's the kind of place that makes you want to linger over brunch, which is probably why it's become such a popular spot. Unfortunately, the food and service didn't quite live up to the setting for us. We ordered the French onion soup, smoked salmon pizza, and breakfast burrito. Surprisingly, the French onion soup was the standout dish. It didn't look particularly appetizing when it arrived, but the rich, savory broth and balanced flavors completely won us over. The smoked salmon pizza had a great flavor profile, but it was way too salty. The salmon was already heavily seasoned, and the capers only amplified the saltiness. Despite the salty pizza, the breakfast burrito was my least favorite item. My wife enjoyed it, but I thought the eggs were overly fluffy and abundant, which muted the flavors of the other ingredients. One thing worth mentioning is the wait. I had read reviews about slow service but assumed those issues had been ironed out by now. Despite there being little to no line when we ordered, our food took about 45 minutes to arrive. I think something may have happened with our order because I noticed multiple parties who ordered after us receiving their food much sooner. To their credit, the staff was friendly and offered complimentary pastries, though they weren't particularly memorable. If you're in Irvine and looking for a brunch spot with a great atmosphere, Bluberry Social is worth checking out. The food wasn't perfect, but the overall experience was enjoyable enough that I'd be open to giving it another try. read more

Been wishing to have a taste here and had an average / lukewarm experience Drink: Iced strawberry matcha latte (with alt option almond milk) was my favorite item. It had fresh strawberry pieces and made with a richly, smooth organic ceremonial matcha. Iced blueberry matcha did not bring the same level of spark. It was less fruity in blueberry taste and a bit more watery. Top pick is the strawberry matcha over blueberry. Con was they give paper straws and it was degrading halfway through my drink. Food: The big breakfast burrito was mediocre which I was quite bummed. It had a coat of grilled cheese on one side which I pulled off and the chorizo was more of a seasoned chunky ground beef. The side avocado had a bitter taste and had an oxidized appearance revealing an extended shelf life. The salad palette did not complement the burrito dish. Service: All employees were helpful and friendly whether taking our order, asking for assistance or addressing inquired questions. It is open seating after ordering so do not be discouraged by the long line; however, after we were seated we did wait almost an hour for our food on a Saturday during brunch time. Ambiance: I enjoyed the airy and bright layout allowing the natural sunshine lighting. Overall: It's a breathable atmosphere for a true social gathering and just grabbing a matcha latte. It's not necessarily one of my OC choice spots for brunch and major eats. read more

Brunched at Blueberry Social with some friends on a busy Saturday morning. The indoor / outdoor concept is neat and you'll be lucky to snag a seat inside as the aesthetic is cute and trendy. The line was kinda long around 11a on Saturday but moved somewhat quickly. Order at the counter and then self-seat. I ordered the breakfast burrito and an iced matcha latte with a cream top. The breakfast burrito was filled to a good size and came with a side of tator tots and small salad. The entire plate was pretty satiating and tasty. The only thing I would change is the quantity of salsa as the little cup was nearly not enough. I must say, I was impressed with the iced matcha latte as I didn't think it would be as good as it was. It comes pre-sweetened with agave but thankfully wasn't too sweet. The service was ok, nothing special or to write home about. We sat outside and our food was brought to us and then plates were picked up after we were done eating. Next time I'd like to sit inside and enjoy the effort they've put into the decor. read more

The food is Delicious. My sister and I ordered a pasta and a focaccia sandwich. They really put thought into the seasoning and flavors even for the side salads. Nothing felt overwhelming or heavy; it was just the right amount of depth and richness of flavors. I love spaces where there are high ceilings too. Charming and quaint. The people here are intentional about checking in with each table and making sure all are well accounted for. We're grateful for your stellar hospitality. The bathroom is also clean. Ample open seating that makes this place a good place to visit with loved ones. God bless you all+ read more

Stumbled upon BLUEBERRY SOCIAL while looking for restaurants to try in the area. Loved the whole vibe so we came to check it out one Saturday around noon. There was a line out the door, which we expected because of the time of day and from posts we've seen, but the line moves quickly since you order at the counter and then find a table. There are plenty of tables inside and outside, but I'm assuming they're usually all taken inside. Luckily, we were able to grab a table inside. The design and decor is so cute and chic! The booths have pink suede couches and so comfy and roomy! So Cal Loko Moko -- it was just okay for me, I think my tastebuds were expecting an original loco moco flavor, but the garlic fried rice was throwing it off. Still good nonetheless. Hawaiian island pancake -- liked this, sweet enough for me without the syrup. B.B tots -- very crispy which I liked, but other than that, they're just tots. They have a huge breakfast/brunch menu and they have separate lunch/dinner menu as well! They also had a lot of interesting drinks, but we didn't order any this time. It's definitely worth checking out. read more

Love the ambiance in this place very modern and earthy. The line can get long in the mornings, there are tables inside and outside. The only con I have are the tables inside are very limited, first come first serve basis. Huge plaza, an abundance of parking the staff were friendly! The drinks and food tasted unique and tons of flavor. Order first, and they bring the food to your table. read more

I love me a new brunch hot spot! Thus, Blueberry Social was such a good find. It's uber cute and trendy ~ perfect for catching up w/ friends, having a cute lunch date with the hubs or even a chill weekend family outing. Located in the Hmart plaza in Portola ~ between Culver Dr and Irvine Blvd, Blueberry Social takes up a decent-sized space, right smack in the middle of the plaza. It's one of those places where you walk up to the counter, order your food & go find a seat to have it delivered. Thankfully, there is plenty of indoor & outdoor seating to choose from, but depending on the time that you dine, I can see how it can get quite crowded. Service is quick & efficient and the staff was friendly ~ providing food & drink recs, since everything looked good and it's hard to decide. The menu is American comfort food w/ a modern twist. The vibe is casual and I love the aesthetically pleasing decor (esp. the cute pinkish suede couches/bench tables inside) ~ it's quite contemporary & calming. The food? Super yums! Everything was very fresh and tasty. It actually felt worth the hype (which is rare lol). The portions were solid, and the presentation was definitely IG-worthy..go check out my pics & see for yourself. I've personally been here a couple of times ~ either with friends, w/ the hubs, and/or with my fam, but I always gravitate to ordering the same dish..the SoCal loko moko ($19). Everything..from the island style garlic rice, roasted mushroom onion, brown gravy, angus loco beef patty, Kona mac, and sunny side up golden yolk eggs is just perfection. I've honestly never had a loko moko before (even tho I've been to Hawaii many of times), but I'm sooo glad that THIS was my first, cuz now the bar is set and I have high standards to compare to, moving forward. I just love everything about it..so so YUMS! OMG..get it w/ the blueberry crumble latte and you will die with smile. I swear that coffee is sooo addicting. Who knew blueberry crumble would pair well with coffee, but it does and I'm hooked. 10/10 would come back for another brunch + coffee moment. RxFoodie recommend!!! read more

Came here to eat breakfast and the portions and food did not disappoint. The ambiance is somewhat fast paced and there is lots of seating outdoor. The drinks Ingot were the blueberry crumble latte and the double matcha. Both drinks were amazing. Strong 5/5. The truffle tots were decent, I expected it to wow me but it tasted super stale and hard. 2/5. We got the egg spam sandwich and surprisingly it was good. The bread was super soft and the jam made it taste that much better. It came with arugula salad and tots. It paired very well. 4.8/5 Next dish is the chicken and waffles. The waffles to me was the star of the dish. The chicken breading kept falling apart which did not make the meal feel god. I waffle was crunchy, soft, and fluffy. Very good. The poach egg wasn't necessary but I ain't complaining. 4.7/5. Last dish is the Choko Moko. Everything about it was great. No complaints. 5/5. The only complaint I have is people who are done inside are super inconsiderate for those waiting. I saw a table that was done when I was in line just sitting down and talking. There's nothing wrong with catching up, but if you see the place is busy, please kindly give up your table so others may sit. I was in line, got my food, ate it, and they were still there just chit chatting while everyone was looking for a table. I hope the wait staff in the future puts a time limit of when someone is done to tell the party to give up their table. It's ridiculous that a party was done stayed an extra hour just to talk while everyone else is waiting with their kids and family. read more

Came here to try their Happy Hour menu and it was great! For the food and price, it definitely is a great value! The great thing is the Happy Hour is all days of the week, most places only have weekdays. I got their Poke nachos, Truffle mushroom pizza, Margherita pizza, and Tokyo lobby fried chicken. The poke nachos were great, good portion of poke and sauce but the nachos were on the oily side. The pizzas had a good dough to topping ratio, although I would have liked if the truffle mushroom had more truffle flavor. It was heavy on the mushroom so it just tasted like a mushroom pizza. The fried chicken was also nicely made, crispy on the outside and tender inside. As for drinks, I tried their Hawaiian mango smoothie and the neapolitian latte. The smoothie reminded me of a more affordable erhwon smoothie with their dates and spirulina. The latte reminds me of the ice cream, chocolatey with strawberry bits. Staff were all friendly and food came out quickly! I went on a weekend so it was busy and loud, but the vibe makes you feel like you're in a coffee brunch place in LA. Highly recommend! read more

I've been wanting to try Blueberry Social for a while and finally made it in. The interior is super cute and aesthetic, but it's on the smaller side. It's more of an order first and then find a seat kind of place, but the vibes are still really good. We got the Jack and Jill combos, which are pretty similar except one comes with pancakes and the other with a waffle. I think I liked the waffle more because of the texture, and it paired so well with the cream. I also ordered the Neapolitan latte and it was actually so fun. The cream on top really did remind me of Neapolitan ice cream, and there was strawberry at the bottom which I thought might be weird at first. But once I mixed everything together it was surprisingly really good. Food came out super fast too, which I always appreciate. read more

Food and drinks here are great and loved the vibes here! They had both indoor and outdoor seating. You order at the front and grab a number and a seat. Service was pretty quick. I got a loco moco and it was very good. The meat was tender and cooked to my liking. No complaints whatsoever. Flavor and seasoning is perfect! On the side I also got a blueberry matcha which was quite good. Overall I'd definitely come back again! read more

Very cool spot; unique vibe that not many places replicate well. The all-day combination of both a cafe, diner and bar is hard to pull off but is done well here at Bluberry Social. I have yet to experience a dull meal here and have been pretty pleased with the attentiveness of their staff. It's come to be a regular brunch option in Irvine that doesn't disappoint when it comes to flavor and ambiance. When you're coming during peak times like weekend breakfast/brunch expect to wait in a line to order - maybe send someone in your party to grab a table outside (there's plenty in front) or at various inside seating as it's order and self-seat. read more

Vibes and menu are great. It's run like in Italy where you can both get your coffee and also your alcoholic adult beverages. Drinks sound really good but are pretty average. Blueberry crumble latte and blueberry iced matcha look promising but are missing that "blueberry" flavor. Kind of like how all the strawberries and fruit of our childhood don't taste as good :( read more

Very busy on a Friday noon. The interior is chic and modern. Food came out quite fast considering the amount of people here. Server or quick to find you. Try to stick close by to the restaurant if you're outside or they won't be able to locate you. The food was amazing. The apple sausage was sweet and savory and a little bit smoky. My pancake was awesome with blueberry and ricotta and I think. My husband had the fried chicken with gravy and rice and mushroom. The fried chicken really didn't need any gravy. I couldn't stop eating the mushroom it was addicting. read more

Pretty American good brunch place overall with GINORMOUS portions. We got the blueberry ricotta pancakes which were a bit dry. I got the veggie omelet (veggies came on top of omelet rather than inside) and the tater tots were delicious and crispy! The matcha creamsicle was also super delicious and tasted just like a creamsicle with faint matcha flavor. You order first and then choose a place inside or outside to sit down. We came around 1130AM and there was no wait however by the time we finished eating we saw a long line. read more

Hawaiian mango smoothie $15, super expensive, but due to so many high-end ingredients like Manuka honey, collagen, hyaluronic acid, etc. Tastes ok. You might enjoy more if you like coconut. The Matcha orange dreamsicle for $8 is a definite win here. Comes with oat milk automatically, and the way they put together the drink... it came out so pretty and tastes so good! Highly recommend this one! Didn't like the blueberry matcha latte as it lacked flavor. It's definitely not for everyone. I still need to drop by again to try their strawberry matcha though. I did come back on another visit to try their iced Madagascar vanilla latte and thoroughly enjoyed that. read more

This is a very popular brunch spot in Irvine. There was a long line to order on a Sunday afternoon around 1:30pm. I came back for dinner on a Thursday night, and it was not as busy. Food and service are consistently good. Interior is modern and clean. Food was ordered at the counter and the servers bring the food to you. Brunch: We got a matcha latte and a cold brew. Both were pretty good 4/5 Chicken Koko Moco - 5/5, this is so yummy! Highly recommend! Big Breakfast Burrito - 3/5, but this was probably my fault, coz I asked for no bell peppers, and that inadvertently took away caramelized onion. I didn't see or taste any potatoes or bacon in the burrito. It was just very salty. I ended up only eating a few bites. It comes with salad and tater tots. Hawaiian Island Pancake- also a 5/5, very fresh and fluffy. Dinner: Caprese Burrata salad - fresh and decent portion Vongole pasta - it comes with a side salad, and the bread that came with it was so yummy. Pasta was also very yummy and fresh. Unfortunately we were too full to try their desserts, maybe next time. Parking is really easy, it is just a few doors down from the H Mart. read more

This new brunch spot is quite good. Saturday mornings seem extremely busy, but the staff did their best and were very nice. I liked the open-concept design with seating options inside and outside. The pink furniture and overall aesthetic was cute. The food was delicious and a good portion for what you pay. My only qualm was with the strawberry matcha latte. Their default milk is oat milk and it was a heavy pour, overtaking the flavor of the matcha itself. read more

Went here for the first time and was not disappointed! My friends and i shared the blueberry lemon ricotta pancake, chicken & waffle, and their loco moco. Overall, food was presented beautifully and was cooled well & flavorful! The service wasn't terrible but also not the best. When i first arrived i wasn't sure id be seated or if there was a different process. An employee clearly saw me standing at the register a bit confused but didnt offer any help until i had to ask how it works there. You have to order at the counter first and then grab a table. Unfortunately there isn't a lot of seating indoors and the last table available was snatched by a group of people who hadn't ordered food yet. There is plenty of outdoor seating but can definitely get hot. Overall, I had a decent experience and would consider coming back! read more

We ordered the chicken and waffles and the chicken loco moco, and both dishes were gigantic. For fried food, the quality was surprisingly good. The waffle really stood out. It was crispy on the outside, airy inside, and had just the right texture to complement the fried chicken. The fried chicken itself was slightly underseasoned, so the flavor was a bit mild. That said, I really liked the coating. It felt closer to an Asian-style fried batter rather than a heavy buttermilk batter, which made it lighter and enjoyable. The portion sizes were also very generous. The only downside was that our coffee order was mixed up, even though I had left a good tip. It was not a huge issue, but it did stand out. Overall, the place feels bright, youthful, and clean. I enjoyed the experience and would come back to try other items on the menu. read more

Bluberry Social in Irvine's Northpark Plaza is a cute brunch spot with plenty of shared parking and a clean, open, inviting vibe. It was our first time, and while the cashier wasn't very helpful when we were trying to decide what to order, the rest of the experience was much better. We ordered the Neapolitan latte, strawberry matcha latte, the So Cal Loko Moko, and the Hawaiian Island Pancake. The loko moco was hearty and flavorful, and the pancake was a fun sweeter option. We ended up sitting outside since the booths were full, and the patio was perfect with the nice weather. Big shoutout to the food runner for being friendly and helpful and making sharing easy with extra plates, utensils, and condiments. Overall, the ordering experience could have been warmer, but the food, drinks, and atmosphere were strong enough that I'd definitely come back. read more

I finally got to try this brunch place. I thought I would be packed but good thing I came around 2 and it wasn't too busy. The omelette with the brisket was pretty good. The meat was soft and tender. It's also very flavorful with lot of different spices. The breakfast burrito had way more egg than I expected. However I didn't really like the ground meat in there. Some brisket meat would've been better. The inside was designed like a bar with a view booths for couples or groups and some bar tables. Lots of seats outside too. Parking is plentiful.

Unfortunately, I believe I got food poisoning from their Poke Nachos...first time trying this place and was very excited after hearing all the hype. We ordered a margarita pizza, truffle mushroom pizza, chicken, and poke nachos for food. The poke nachos had great flavor but were pretty saucy. One thing I really did not like was how oily the chips were that came with it. It seemed to be fried in-house, which was nice, but it was way too oily for my liking. Both pizzas could have been better for the dough; it was a little too thick/doughy, but the flavor was ok. Just wish the truffle mushroom pizza had more of a truffle flavor and less mushroom. The chicken was also very average. Not much flavor or anything outstanding, the batter could have been crisper. However, the service was very friendly, and the food came out quickly. For the amount of food you get, their happy hour menu is very worth the price! We also ordered the Hawaiian mango smoothie, which I loved. I would definitely get this drink again! read more

I wanna like this place - the ambience is nice, the food is delicious BUT the kitchen is SOOOOO SLOW. I'm not even talking about the long line out the door to order. I saw that and accepted it. And we waited patiently for 20 minutes for a table to open up. But once we ordered, we waited 55 minutes for 3 of our 4 dishes came. But then we had to wait another 15 for my son's pancakes to come out. The first time we came, I assumed it was growing pains of a new restaurant but the second time... The manager said food takes minimum 45 minutes. The manager did feel bad and comp'd some of our food, which was generous, but I suggest only coming if you are prepared to wait and wait and wait. Everything we ordered was good. We got the blueberry pancakes, veggie burrito, veggie omelette, mango ice. The creamsicle matcha is my fav. read more

Stopped by Bluberry Social for a weekday brunch and was impressed by how busy it was. The space is bright and airy; sitting near the entrance for that open-air breeze really makes the meal. I tried the Bluberry Lemon Ricotta Pancake, which was the highlight. It was surprisingly light and hit that elusive balance of citrus and berry without being a sugar bomb. While the menu is definitely on the pricier side for brunch, the quality of the ingredients and the atmosphere make it feel worth the treat. Since you order at the counter, the service is efficient and low-key. It's a fantastic, reliable spot for a catch-up with friends if you don't mind spending a few extra dollars for a premium experience. read more
