    Croissant Waffle with Nutella ($11). Crispy and light. 7/7/2025
    Sandra L.

    I met up with a friend at Olive Seed during a weekday lunch and was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the ambiance. There's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, but I can imagine that on a busy weekend brunch, there might be a bit of a wait. The decor is charming with lots of plants and a wood-themed aesthetic that gives the space a cozy, modern vibe. The menu items are definitely on the pricier side in my opinion. My friend ordered the Breakfast Burrito ($15), which was packed with eggs, cheese, tomatoes, and bacon. It was tasty, very filling, and came with a side of crispy potatoes. I went for the Nutella Croffle ($10), and it didn't disappoint, it was perfectly crispy and delicious. Overall, the food here is solid, and I'd recommend Olive Seed if you're looking for a cute spot for brunch. I was tempted to try the Kimchi Carbonara, but at $18, I decided to pass this time. Parking is easy and convenient since it's in the same lot as Bristol Farms, with an additional parking structure behind the building.

    Olive Seed, olive seed, where are thou olives? This is one of those times where I should've done my homework rather than just letting ratings do the judging. What's famous here are their bulgogi burritos and all things K-pop, don't get me wrong, I love me some bibimbap, just different expectations. Which comes the next point of a cafe/restaurant, standing at the counter smiling like an idiot isn't going to get you attention, get with the times and use those self service kiosks these restaurant owners invested so much for. Ordered a breakfast burrito without bacon, option available for omitting any ingredients but nothing about replacing or adding. The side avocado came on a plate on a thin cut bed of lettuce before my first AND second burrito came out. Sitting there.. just sad, oxidizing as my stomach drools. The first burrito came out with tons of 'bacon' to which my friend Tim tried some before the lady saw me picking them out and realized a mistake had been made and a new burrito was being made. Tim said the bacon were bland and amazingly saltless, cut thick like how I grew up knowing them to be. Not thin, wavy and crispy like Americano-burgeriano like. Second burrito was good, piping hot and filled with eggs. Burrito blanket was the large 12-14" kind but it's filled without further grilling. Side potatoes were fine. Drip coffee was also fine. The lingering throat punch is subtle. If I was younger and works a trendy job I would totally come here with all my good friends.

    This Korean brunch spot was so yummy and delicious! Staff was very attentive whenever we needed stuff like extra sauces, trash, utensils. The croissant chicken waffles were really good and the breakfast burritos was amazing! This is a fun go to brunch spot that is low key with good vibes with friends and family.

    Croissant Waffle  W/Fruit

    Yummy fusion spot w reasonable pricing. My group went to celebrate a friends birthday, and the food was delicious for the occasion. We ordered the carbonara, kimchi carbonara, fried chicken, brioche french toast, waffle, and salmon benedict. My favorites were the kimchi carbonara and korean fried chicken. I had the salmon benedict when freshly served, and the bagel was soft and soggy (I wish it were more toasted). The regular carbonara felt like it needed more flavor, french toast brioche and waffle taste as expected. At Olive Seed you order at the front and they bring you food. Since my party did family style, they gave us paper plates to split the food. Overall food was pretty delish, staff were friendly (we kept asking for more knives and napkins), not sure if I'd come again because food was not exceptionally good.

    Breakfast Burrito

    I have visited Olive Seed Cafe a handful of times! They have a wide variety within their menu. There's Asian inspired items with some American in-between. This particular day I tried their breakfast burrito that comes with a side of potato's and salsa. I was very pleased. The girl that took my order was extremely sweet and made sure to check on us after the food arrived. I have also tried their strawberry matcha, Bulgolgi Burrito, Bingsu's, and avocado toast. There were all delicious! It's always great supporting a small family owned business in OC.

    A hidden gem in Yorba Linda's Town Center! Olive Seed serves delicious Korean-fusion brunch without the crowds or high prices. The atmosphere is lovely , the Soy Garlic wings are crispy perfection , and the carbonara pasta is richly satisfying . Their souffles and waffles look amazing too. With $4 coffees and hearty mains, it's easy to enjoy a full meal for around $20 per person. Don't forget to check-in for a free matcha latte or Einspänner! A top choice for a quality, affordable, and tasty brunch experience.

    Kimchi carbonara spaghetti
    Joy W.

    Came here for lunch on a Monday. We got the kimchi carbonara and the bulgogi burrito. The kimchi carbonara was a generous serving filled with huge flavors! This creamy saucy pasta was delicious! The bulgogi burrito was nothing special. It tasted like a typical breakfast burrito. All-in-all this place was decent, I'd definitely come back and try something else.

    Strawberry Matcha Latte $ 5.25 & Ice Hazelnut Latte $ 5 2.08.25
    Mimi J.

    Review 15/365 Challenge Came here on a Saturday for brunch around 11:30 a.m. Ordered something light since I was headed to a birthday party at 2 p.m. What we ordered ~ CroffLe. Highly recommended, so yum. It's a combination of a waffle & croissant combined. Not even sweet and deliciously made. More on the sweeter brunch dessert side of the menu. ~ Strawberry Matcha Latte $ 5.75 isn't sweet along with I didn't get much of the strawberry flavoring. If you see the photo of the drink. A bit disappointed there. Looks like they've expanded their menu quite a lot by adding bingsoo (Korean shaved ice) & a few other items since the last time I visited here. Along w they reduced pricing on their menu items too beginning of the year. It was pretty busy with constant foot traffic, dining indoor and outdoor on patio along w right outside of the restaurant near front entrance where they have tables along w chairs/umbrellas and patio seatings w cushions.

    Loved the Olive Seed flavor at Yobar Linda! It's creamy, refreshing, and has a unique nutty taste that's not too sweet. The texture is super smooth, and you can tell they use quality ingredients. Definitely one of the best flavors I've tried here -- highly recommend giving it a try!

    Carbonara Pasta
    Aurora W.

    Updated my review- the whole place got a makeover and so did it's menu. Some of my favorites like the carbonara or some other Korean items I wanted to try (eg ramen) are no longer on the menu. The classic breakfast also used to come with an option of a crossaint waffle and now they no longer have that - so its either a pancake or sourdough bread. So that's a bummer considering we love the waffles there but not enough to order a whole separate plate of it. The menu is also confusing to look at because the descriptions don't even match the dish names. There are options to order at the counter or the kiosk. After that, you're handed a number to find seating. We found seating at the table in the corner near the bathroom (there were no other tables available) and it smelled really bad so we had to switch tables. Although that was not so great-When the food arrived, it was good and I will say that my tiramisu latte was enjoyable and I really liked it!! I think they have a few kinks they need to work out (like their menu) and speeding up their service, but I'll give them some time to do that before I return again!

    The Tteokbokki
    Eun S.

    The Tteokbokki was amazing. It had a rich broth, perfect seasoning, not too spicy. It's yum! Next time I'd love to add noodles. The Panini was just perfect and the einspanner wasn't too sweet, which actually paired surprisingly well with the Tteokbokki. Both Bingsu desserts were refreshing, not too sweet, and packed with fresh fruit--such a perfect way to end the meal. On top of the delicious food, the warm and friendly service made us want to come back. Can't wait to return and try more dishes next time!

    Brioche French Toast
    Steve Y.

    Food was amazing. Service was fast. Lots of seating both inside and outside. Ordered the brioche french toast and bulgogi burrito. French toast was thick and light and the burrito had tons of flavor. Brunch only. Would def be coming back

    The place is inside a plaza, next to Bristol Farms and downtown Main Street. It's a cute little shop that requires you to order, whether it's on the kiosk or with a cashier, in front with self-seating. We decided to bring our number placard to an outside table to enjoy some sun. The food was decent and very flavorful but not spectacular. The Frutti di mare spaghetti had a great amount of garlic, but very tomato focused. It's something that reminded me of store-bought Ragu or Prego sauce, without any added spices. The ribeye kimchi fried rice was filled with savory kimchi juice or gochujang sauce, I brought it back home to add a bit of white rice to dilute the sogginess of the rice and flavor. The croissant waffle with Nutella was surprisingly brought out first as a dessert, but it was delicious fresh and fluffy. Best dish of the meal. I also ordered the mint mojito latte which was very good. I would say it has a better mint flavor than Phil's coffee! There's a lot of food options to choose here, from breakfast to Asian fusion Korean dishes, to dessert. I'm sure everything is pretty good, especially if you're not familiar with Asian flavors.

    Ask the Community - Olive Seed Cafe

    What oil(s) are used with the food items here?

    Hi Annie, We use vegetable oil in our normal food. We use Extra Virgin Olive oil for salad dressing. Thank you for asking.

    Does this establishment have bottomless mimosas? If so, what's the price?

    No, they do not.

    Does the place have beer and wine or any sparkling wine?

    I don't think they have a liquor license there...I was just there last week, and I didn't see any of that on the menu.

    Do they offer gluten free items?

    In reviewing the menu from this link there is no indication of any item on the menu being gluten free. That would be most helpful.

    Is there out door seating/ is it dog friendly?

    Yes. The common area of the town center out front has tables and patio furniture. There is also a back patio with several tables.

The atmosphere and service have been pleasant, but the matcha quality has not met expectations, especially considering the price point. I hope they revisit their matcha preparation process, as I'd love to see improvements and be able to support a local business. Unfortunately, based on my experiences so far, I can't recommend their matcha drinks.

It was bland and wasn't sweet enough. Also, the consistency was grainy and kinda chunky? Since this was our first time here, we thought that this was just how they made it so although it was weird, we didn't wanna waste an expensive drink, almost costing $10 (since I also added boba).

If you like this place, I guess just avoid the almond milk, at the very least.
