I haven't been to a Mustard Cafe since the one in Irvine closed. I was in the area so I decided to stop by this one...and glad that I did. I don't remember Mustard Cafe having such a nice variety of food on their menu. I had their breakfast burrito and it was very good and filling... reminds me like the ones at Sessions. I will definitely be returning here to try their sandwiches. I also love the vibe of the area, very relaxing. read more

Mustard Cafe - Bacon bfast burrito - Delis Near Me - Newport Coast, California

Stopped for a quick bite in Newport Coast & decided to try this place. Nice cafe with so many sandwich & wrap options, pizza, fresh salads, & all day breakfast. Small indoor dining area but they do have some outdoor seating as well. Chicken pesto panini & the truffle blanco pizza totally hit the spot. Their ceasar salad was delish. Food came in a timely manner. Great customer service. Love that Kobe Bryant frame on their wall. Lol. read more

Food: tastes great. Service: today we met a new employee, Blake, what a positive addition. For the first time, he came over to our table replenished our free water, without our request. Then came in to check-in on us again and made sure we were doing well. Ambiance: quiet, and comfortable! read more

My friends & I wondered why we haven't been here before for our brunch meet-ups... There's a great selection of breakfast & lunch options. They even feature options for special dietary needs like gluten-free and keto. I chose the spinach omelet with breakfast potatoes and English muffin. It came out quickly & was exactly what I needed. My friends strawberry salad looked amazing (sorry - no photo). Everyone was friendly & helpful. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We're coming back again. read more

Mustard Cafe - Spinach &cheese omelet with potatoes & English muffin - Delis Near Me - Newport Coast, California

Ordered food to go, place was definitely packed. We got an omelet and sandwich and they even had a dog menu! Food was very good absolutely delicious. They only had two people working so it took awhile just to place an order. Overall very good and will definitely go back! read more

Family agreed the best feature of this establishment is their easy to crunch ice. Downhill from there. Place is cramped and overfurnished, difficult to maneuver around other patrons to get to fountain drink machine, utensils and condiments. Service on the slow side, usually few employees visible. Menu is concerningly broad: toast, eggs and pancakes; paninis, hot and cold sandwiches, pizzas, various salads. On our most recent visit (have been in here a few times in past 10 years) tried a panini, apple pecan salad, and Beyond burger. Takes a while to get food, and if a hot day some of the outside tables will be searingly hot because umbrellas can't completely protect from the midday sun. No one seems to sit inside--see above comment about cramped space. Also hot in there. Food itself was mediocre to bad. Panini was best of the items we tried, burger, fries and salad were super dry and unseasoned. Salad actually seemed custom designed to extract all moisture from your mouth. Chicken tasted like cardboard, Parmesan dry, tart apples chalky, dressing light and sour. We all thought overpriced too. Paid ~$60 for the 3 lunch items. Missing the neighboring Sharkey's that recently closed. read more

Mustard Cafe - Avocado omelette with home made potatoes. - Delis Near Me - Newport Coast, California

I was looking for eggs Benedict this morning and decided to try Mustard Cafe. I was not disappointed. The eggs were prefect and the hash browns crunchy, just the way I like them. I did not take a picture. They also made a delicious BLT for my daughter. The service was excellent. The young lady that assisted me was very accommodating and friendly. The cafe is clean and quaint. The is not a cafe where the come and take your order. They have a very good order board. There is also outdoor seating. I do recommend this cafe and will happily eat here again read more

We saw quite a few diners there around 11;45 am and decided to give it a try. We just split a patty melt and ordered 2 lattes. The ambience is what one would expect in a coffee shop. The service was good although it took a little longer for the food to arrive considering that the place was not too busy then and we were just getting a sandwich. At a first glance, the sandwich looked good and fresh. But there was no ' love on first bite' since it was totally lacking any taste. Even the omnipresent Ketchup couldn't rescue it. The fries were crispy but lacking texture. We might have ordered the wrong food since the place got quite busy shortly after noon. read more

Service was great but they need to offer more vegan food that is NOT fried! The salads we ok - a little bland I may go back one more time to try to loco moco but I'll need to find out what the ingredients are in that vegan burger patty is first . If it's like the Impossible burger ,full of inflammatory oils and crap I won't go back -I wish we had a vegan place that did not use inflammatory oils and did not use nonorganic breads and tortillas that are full of glyphosates and other chemicals and or oils - read more

Food was raw- hamburger was under cooked. For $14.00 it was a slider at best! No flavor no good! French fries were not much better. I hear they are packing their bags anyway! Good bye! Maybe the idiots at the Irvine Company can put together a game plan for fun place for families to eat that is reasonable in cost but offers good food. Irvine company has done a horrible job putting a good restaurant in NPC Center. Much of it has to do with restaurants not wanting to deal with the Irvine hardcore business tactics and cost. Talk about Newport Beach Monopoly...while we go hungry for a simple plate of good food! read more

Like the tomato sauce, went well with the pesto. Cooked well but chicken needs to be less overwhelming. I am drafting Porzingis. read more

Fresh sandwichesc Boarshead quality meats, breakfast, fresh coffee, this place really does a lot, for people who complain they really don't understand this bistro is a combination pancake house, sandwich shop, coffee and pastry shop on all one. If you want perfection in one of these 3 areas without all the variety they offer, welp go to a place that only does that type of meal. As for me, I like the variety of this place. read more

The sandwiches are nothing impressive and the additional avocado was really mushy and overpriced! Would not return.

I came with a group after our hike. You know how you wish you had ordered something else after seeing what everyone else got? That was me but I didn't want to go back in and order something else. I got the English Muffin Breakfast sandwich. Not much to it; kind of small. I probably should have just ordered lunch instead or a bigger breakfast dish. I had an iced coffee and one of their large chocolate chip cookie. The cookie is yummy and soft. I noticed that the service was super slow. It took a long time for the food to come. For some in my group, their food took longer than some of ours. I deleted my pics before I could post my review. read more

I came for the Eggs Benedict. I'm always looking for Eggs Benedict made the correct way. And here, it's 75% correct, the only thing missing was that lemon zest. It actually had no lemon at all. The Canadian bacon was good, the poached egg was on point, the English muffin was flat( like a thin version). I'll keep looking. And they don't put mustard in the hollandaise sauce which 50% of restaurants do- that's a big no no.. The pancakes were thick, but you could taste the unmixed batter, and were dry, Dennis makes a better pancake. Had a Blueberry Scone too- big mistake. I was terrible, dry and no flavor at all. Pros Kobe was a regular here Eggs Benedict was pretty good Outside dining Pet friendly- pet menu California weather Mocha was tasty 100 variety coke machine Mexican Coke Cons No lemon in the hollandaise sauce Dry pancake and scone Apple Pay wasn't working read more

i order from this restaurant to-go at least 1x a week due to proximity to work & convenience. i say at least once a month i get a hair in my food and am forced to toss it out. long dark curly hairs. it is repulsive. the one i got in my food today was the last straw. it almost seems like someone working there does it on purpose. the convenience no longer outweighs being worried if im going to get someone's hair in my food. read more

Highly dissapointed!! The side of pasta salad (if you can call it that) was more like a sample, in a sauce cup. The bread was hard and stale, and the sandwich had about 1 quarter of a share of meat and cheese. Pretty pathetic, and I would never recommend this to anyone. Not even my enemies. They deserve to eat better than this. Cant believe I spent 70 bucks on 3 of these sad little half sandwiches. read more

Good service and great food. The BBQ chicken pizza was amazing. Would definitely recommend!

So glad I found this place by happenstance - EXCELLENT food and service. GLUTEN FREE & KETO options too. I got the "bagel and lox" minus the bagel add GF bread - de-lish! The manager is an amazing guy and he was visible & cooking. Came out and talked with the customers (me included). I love their coffee. I'm a little bit of a coffee snob and I thought the coffee was exceptional. My daughter got a bloody Mary which I was surprised was on the menu it was very good as well. Mustard has GF options as well including COOKIES. Not dry cracker cookies, good moist cookies. I saw a salad come out that looked super yummy. I will be back for lunch. read more

First visit here and grabbed some food to-go. We grabbed two sandwiches. The cranturberry is a thanksgiving style sandwich, turkey with cranberry, greens and mayo. (It also has red onions but I held those off). It was good but maybe needed something else for flavor, maybe a more smoky turkey would help. The side I tried was potato salad if you like onion (which I don't) you will find this flavorful and good. My husband loved the Bella Brie. The crunchy toasted ciabatta paired perfectly with the roast beef and the mild Brie worked with the spicy horseradish, a very flavorful sandwich. The side of coleslaw was also tasty. They have a huge menu and so it does take some time to select an option. They also have a specials board. I would love to try breakfast here it sounds really good. They have gluten free bread too. This is in a busy shopping plaza and you can sit outside which is nice. The man working the register is friendly and upbeat. This restaurant was booming on a Saturday afternoon so plan on a little wait for your food. read more

The food, the vibe and the customer service was great! We were visiting the area for a family event and found ourselves hungry for breakfast while staying at a hotel. I drove by the shopping the center, made a u-turn and took a chance that there might be a breakfast place there. I'm so glad I came inside. With a name like Mustard Cafe I thought it was a burger or sandwich shop but when i looked on Yelp it said they serve breakfast all day. The food was good, served fast and was a reasonable price. I would definitely come back. I wish we had a cafe like this in my hometown. read more

Such a great find for breakfast on our way home from a family vacation. Everyone loved their food and when I sat down with my family I hadn't ordered anything since I'm gluten intolerant and had gf oatmeal in the car. The owner heard I had z celiac disease and brought me over a gluten free cookie to try on the house and told me he had great gf bread if we return. We'll be back anytime we're in the area! Such great family friendly service and good food all around! Eggs Benedict were perfectly cooked and French toast had perfect amount of cinnamon. My son's bagel sandwich was perfectly layered and my husband's chorizo scramble hit the spot. read more

I'm giving 3 stars mainly for the service. The people that work here are really friendly and nice. I've stopped in here a few times for the gluten free chocolate chip cookie, and I just wish they would make it a gluten free sugar cookie. That is literally what it is. It's a sugar cookie they place chocolate chips on top of. Tbh I'm always disappointed and I always think it should really just be a sugar cookie. But I still get it since I'm gluten free and have minimal options. I've also had a couple salads that were good. Nothing fantastic. It's just a convenient quick eat spot. read more

Fresh delicious food for breakfast & lunch! This is a cute neighborhood place where they take pride in the food they make. We wanted to eat here every day on vacation!!!! read more

Zero stars - RIP OFF! ordered 2 bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches on gluten free bread and one coffee. Charge was $40! I asked the man at the counter if that was correct since the sign says $11.50 +gluten free bread extra $1.95 per sandwich. He said the bacon is $7 extra per sandwich. I explained I did not want a side of bacon just bacon on the sandwiches which ended up being approximately one piece per sandwich. He would not admit the mistake or change the total charge. Too bad because we live close by. read more

Went in this morning and my friend ordered a breakfast sandwich which came out to be $2.00 more than what was listed on the menu. When my friend questioned them and asked for a discount to match the advertised price a manager was called over and gave no explanation and didn't seem to care at all. Needless to say we walked out. Terrible service, rude manager and incorrect pricing. Go to Rose Cafe instead, Mustard is a joke! read more

Haven't even gotten food yet but the vibe is great but what made this a 5 starts for me are the 2 Kobe memorial posters and other cool artworks hopefully the food is good I will give an update Update for food- had the French toast it was amazing 10/10 would recommend read more

Really good food here. Order at the counter and take a seat. I tried this cafe for the first time and will go back if I am in the area again. Indoor and outdoor seating available. The efficient staff bring your food to your table when it is ready. There is a steady stream of customers, so I am pretty sure it is a local favorite. We tried the club pastrami sandwiches with slaw and pasta salad sides. All were delicious. read more

The price for what I ordered was listed at $7.00. When I went to pay, I was told that the menu hadn't been updated and the price was actually $10.00. There is absolutely nothing on the menu to indicate that it was an accurate. Make sure you ask before you order. Pretty sleazy practice! read more
