MJ's is my go-to place for lunch at work. Generally, they do a great job but every now and then like today, someone doing the salads is dropping the ball. They left out what I requested to be left out which is great but they went further and left out the chicken breast and used the wrong dressing. Still going to be hangry after this salad with no protein and garlic-y breath to boot :-(. Awesome 90% of the time. read more

Just witnessed the worker drop his knife on the floor, pick it up, and proceed to cut the avocado that is now in my salad. It must've been because of my Asian eyes that he didn't notice me look in his direction. You would think a place that makes all the food in front of you would be a little bit more cautious.... read more

I eat at MJ's almost daily. I have always found the staff to be helpful, friendly, and efficient. The food is delicious and the menu is varied, though I always find myself gravitating toward the same items. They get additional kudos for (almost) always having a cinnamon roll ready for me in the morning! read more

Be CAREFUL! My co-worker got food poisoning from eating food brought here. Their food handling is poor and their food is mediocre at best.

Great Weekly Business Cafe! Awesome Staff at ALL Locations! Great Menu, Great Espresso, Quick Togo Orders! A "Must Eat" on your weekly hustle and bustle in So Cal! read more

MJ's is by far one of my favorite places to stop in and grab a bite to eat! It's fast, efficient and extremely delicious! The staff are so welcoming and friendly! Whenever I find myself in Irvine I make sure to stop here! Their breakfast burrito is to die for and my favorite thing on their lunch menu would be the Mexican philly! Yummmmmmmy! I'm craving it as I write this! :) read more

Needed a quick lunch and decided to order their lunch combo Tuna Sandwich w/Potato Soup; which came up to be about $11. It was surprisingly good and it was made right on time for pickup. read more

My favorite spot for the comfort combo (tomato soup with a grilled cheese).

This review used to be a good one - however, due to SEVERAL screw ups on the establishment's behalf, I'm compelled to change my review to one that's not so favorable. Their food is still good - but do NOT trust the online ordering system. I had to order last minute salads for an executive lunch - simple - 2 chicken Caesar salads, dressing on the side. They brought one salad, with 2 extra dressings. Not exactly what I ordered OR paid for. They were happy to bring over the missing salad, which barely had any chicken. I usually order a particular sandwich for myself, always adding avocado - this is something they choose to overlook consistently. Today was the last straw when in the "comments" section of my order I requested the chipotle dressing of my sandwich to be on the side and to please not forget the avocado (which costs more). Not only did I not get the avocado, but they doubled up on the chipotle on the sandwich. Several of my co-workers have received incomplete orders as well, which is why we will no longer be ordering from MJ's. read more

I've been going to MJ's for the last 4 years and can't say enough about their customer service and quality of food. Their pricing is affordable and their portion size never leaves you wanting more. I love this peanut butter protein smoothie I make at home, and when I asked if they could make it for me (even though not on the menu) they did with no problem! The staff is always cheerful and more than accommodating when it comes to tailoring orders to your liking. I love their salads, but always add or subtract ingredients, and it's never an issue. Carl and the rest of the employees really go above and beyond to make you feel like a valued customer! read more

MJ's is my favorite place to go eat after school. The location is perfect since it's maybe 40 feet away from the college i go too . I always get their sandwiches and breakfast burrito always tastes fresh and hot! For me the prices aren't bad at all, super reasonable. 7 bucks for a half sandwich, chips and a drink. Not bad at all... I highly recommend this little family owned cafe!!(: read more

I come here for breakfast almost every day during the work week. The 2 items I really like are the breakfast burrito with sausage and the Newport Panini with ham. The staff are very good at what they do and you won't be disappointed with the price. Overall, this place is a great cafe. read more

Love their tomato soup! Super busy lunch crowd...get there around 11:30 and you'll be good.

I go to Mjs often and it's hit or miss on the food. Ingredients are always fresh and the staff is awesome. My chicken salad had the worst chewy chicken yesterday and I mentioned it today to the clerk. She was so sweet and apologetic and offered tipsy for my lunch today. I thought it was such a nice gesture. Well because it was not rung through the register my salad was overlooked and not made. I had to ask About it 15 minutes later. Because he was hurried he put the 2 things I specifically asked be omitted- garbanzo beans and green onions... It's tough picking those items out of my lunch. I'm sad, I want to give a good review but in not happy :( I do love their coffee. read more

Their "large" to go containers are now about half the size, so charging over $6 for a pile of lettuce is completely ridiculous. Also the half salads are seriously overpriced. 80 cents off for half (or less) of the food?? And no discount for taking the chicken, cheese and chips off my salad. A discount for the meat, at least, would make sense. The food is generally pretty good, but my order is wrong or something is missing about 70% of the time. read more

Amazing place. The food is always great and the management is extremely kind. I highly recommend!

I love coming here and you can't beat the convenience! Soups, salads and sandwiches (made fresh on the spot) at a reasonable price! You can call ahead or order online and it's ready by the time you arrive. Tomato basil soup is pretty awesome and the staff is friendly! Was recommended to try the Tuscan Chicken Panini and it proved to be good advice! Delicious! read more

This place makes phenomenal breakfast burritos! Carl makes THE BEST coffee around town too. It's always quick so it's convenient if you work in the adjacent business complex. The Field of Dreams salad is, yeah you guessed it, everything you can dream of. Can't beat the price and the quality. read more

I have to say that I had a fantastic Chicken Cesar sandwich an MJ's. The bread was great, lettuce was cold and he checked was amazing and sliced super thin. I live in Los Angeles and would go out of my way to go back to MJ's. read more

I work in the complex across the street, and never knew about this place. Someone mentioned it in my building, I went over and now I eat there like once a week. They have decent online ordering, but you can't modify the order, or give clear directions which stinks but never had an issue so far. Usually packed, not much room to stand and wait but it's great food. read more

MJ's is THE BEST option for breakfast and lunch in the business plaza! The employees (especially Carl) are SO kind, caring, friendly, happy and they work so hard! The food is so delicious, and reasonably priced too! The food always tastes so great. The lunch special is amazing! Their competitor across the way, Specialty's, is garbage. Their food is over priced and over processed. At MJ's you get food that is delicious tasting, simple and great. You can order food a la cart, if you just want a quick snack - Such as just eggs and bacon - Their breakfast croissant sandwich is TO DIEEE FOR...!! SO GOOD!! The coffee is amazing. This place is ALWAYS on point - I never have had a bad experience. I will ALWAYS go to MJ's above any other restaurant in the business plaza. It's so worth it! Thank you MJ's for always making my day! read more

I never really liked MJ's. The food isn't that great. The latte's are just flavored syrup. The chicken for the salad seems boiled. Whenever I came out of there my clothes and hair smelled like a greasy spoon kitchen. I have only gone once (out of desperation) since they remodeled. I never see customers in there now. The prices have gone up considerably. For what they charge now and the quality of the food, you would be better off paying the same (or less) for excellent food at the other food places in the same business park. read more

Being a hungry pregnant woman working, I got my lunch which I ordered one of the best BAGUETTE ham sandwiches ever. They delivered to my office since I couldn't step out, and Carl was very kind, since in the notes it didn't say I ordered a drink, but I did, he rushed over to MJ's and brought me my drink without any hassle. Thank you Carl!!! read more

I come in here everyday and Carl is there every morning with a smile on his face. This place is warm, welcoming and comfortable. The staff is always very friendly and the food is what you would expect from an above average cafe. Most days I get a coffee and breakfast and other days I get lunch. The prices are very reasonable and I am always happy with my selections. Breakfast is always really good and they have really great sandwiches for lunch. read more

MJ's is the go-to! Breakfast and lunch are both awesome - great quality and prices. The staff is amazing and friendly. There's a lot of options around here and this is the only place I go. read more

I go here a couple of times per work week and have always had a good experience. Although, I do not know how kind or unkind their staff members are I am sure they are pretty nice :) I always order online and my food is always ready when I get there. Personally I have never had a bad experience yet! I work in the plaza and don't understand why some people still wait in those long lines haha! read more

MJ's a great place to pick a breakfast on the way to the office. I am down there greeting Carl and the gang at least 4 times a week. And besides great food at good prices I get to enjoy great customer service with great people, which is something I feel is lacking in a lot of food establishments recently. So don't be persuaded by negative reviews. I have yet to be disappointed by this little family. read more

I work in the building next door and not only is it convenient the food is the best in the area. the soups are amazing. The cashiers are really nice and the new one with the long blonde hair is HOT! The line gets pretty long at lunch time but dont be intimidated because they are really fast and hey more time to look at the blonde ;) I definitely recommend Mjs for a good fast meal. read more

Good lunch spot, little overpriced since they remodeled but lots of variety and very quick!

Amazing food and staff! Their salads and sandwiches are awesome. If you haven't already, make sure you try the cookies! Absolutely delicious! Love this place. read more

The comfort combo was great- yummy grilled cheese and tomato soup. HOWEVER... I was just in the Irvine location for lunch and could not believe the unprofessionalism of the man who seemed to be the manager. There was a woman working the register who was clearly new and not only be he verbally berate her in front of me, he then started talking negatively about her when she walked outside for a break. Every question she asked seemed to just exhaust him. I couldn't believe how unhelpful he was for a new employee just learning the ropes. After she walked out, he was talking about her loudly in front of me and a few other customers in the cafe. Then he included all of the other employees in his banter. If that woman didn't walk right out the door and quit, which she very well might have, I would be shocked. He completely humiliated her in a room full of people. Today was my first time in MJ's and I cannot get over what a horrible first impression I got. I was so uncomfortable just sitting in the restaurant listening to him, I couldn't get out of there fast enough. If I weren't so uncomfortable I would have said something right then and there to him- I'm pretty ashamed for just standing by and saying nothing. read more

When they first opened up they were AWESOME!! The food was great and the customer service was great as well. But I guess that was just to open. Now they only have a few people working there and they SUCK!! The quality of the food isn't even as good. I just got their chili which used to be EXCELLENT! today it's like soup with barely anything other than broth in it. It's so thin my cheese fell to the bottom of the cup!! They need to bring back the quality and the people that opened the cafe because these new people are going to drag it into the mud. read more

Nasty overpriced food. Definitely paid reviews on here. Came here a few times and all pretty bad. Slow, crap service, way overpriced items. Plus, they don't bother telling you it's more expensive than what it says on their menu. wth. Then impatiently demand money because they're people behind? I never write reviews but this place really pissed me off read more

Love me some MJs! I have been coming to this cafe for years and value their friendly staff and the variety of options on their menu. Being a bit of a health nerd, I tend to go for The Natural sandwich or Bistro Salad. Being a bit more of a COOKIE connoisseur, I'll never leave without one! Great food, friendly faces, sweet treats- MJs always makes my day :) read more

Great service. Sandwiches are yummy. Perfect place for catering a lunch event.

Best food and customer service really good sandwiches and nice people I come here daily

My coworker and I come here every morning for coffee and sometimes breakfast. All of the employees know our order and usually have it ready to go by the time we get up to the counter (or very shortly thereafter). The breakfast food is great! The sunrise express or newport panini are my personal favorites. The coffee is cheaper than at Specialtys and the employees don't constantly try to upsell you. All in all, a great place! read more

Mj's is great and it's my daily breakfast spot. The food is great for the price and the service is great. However I will say this, if your getting a specialty coffee drink there is only one person in there that makes it right! That's Carl! Carl is the absolute best!! If he is not there to make my coffee I will not order it. Every single time someone else makes it the drink turns out horrible. So if you have had a coffee drink there and thought it wasn't so great go back and have Carl make it!! read more

I work in the building and I visit MJs about 2-3 times per week. The staff, particularly Carl and Noe, are always welcoming and helpful. The food is good and the menu provides a nice variety for lunch. The drinks, particularly their blended mocha, are delicious. On the rare occasion that there is a problem, they fix it. You cant go wrong with MJs. read more

Food is clean compared to Palazzo/Boulder Cafe. At least I don't find hair and uncooked meats like Boulder.
