I rarely eat at brunch spots or cafes, especially in Orange County. But this one in Tustin was definitely a surprise hit for me. First off, I loved the cozy, charming European vibe of this place, with the indoor and outdoor dining. They got so many things on the menu that I feel it's perfect for eating meals or just getting some light drinks and desserts. I got the vegetarian omelet, apparently one of their best sellers, and I was amazed by the taste of it. The eggs themselves plus the side veggies, fruits, and butter made for a tasty and visually appealing meal. The Utopia Latte is the way to go, both for taste and presentation. I even tried the fruit tart and the chocolate baklava (yep, pretty unique). I feel I wanted to try everything on the menu. It's one of the restaurants that's worth a second visit. I think it's even cool how it's in a mall complex so you can shop or walk around afterwards, perhaps even go to Planet Fitness right around the corner. I would highly recommend Utopia if you want delicious food and a unique European vibe! read more

Cute and casual ambiance, we got chicken Alfredo which was really good ~ tasted more rich than other chicken Alfredo we have had before. The house made manti was okay. I read it could take longer but I honestly think they forgot about my order. I was here with two other people and their food arrived first and I encouraged them to start eating without me. We had to go in and ask about it and they said they would check on it halfway through their meal. They finished their entire bowls food and we still had to wait before the food came out. In hindsight, we would've rather just canceled the order and received a refund the moment everyone else had finished eating and I was still waiting. Wish they were more apologetic or communicative about it. read more

Took my family to Utopia Caffe for brunch and we had a great experience! The service was friendly and attentive, and there's plenty of free parking, which is always a huge plus. The atmosphere is beautiful, cozy, and relaxing, making it a perfect place to hang out with family or friends. We enjoyed the Utopia Latte, Matcha Latte, Pistachio Cake, Florentine Omelette, Salmon with Mushrooms Pasta, Parisian Platter Breakfast, Strawberry Avocado Salad, and Fraise Mango Yogurt. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. Whether you're looking for a delicious brunch, a quality latte, or a sweet dessert, Utopia Caffe is a great spot to visit. The outdoor seating area is lovely, and the overall vibe makes you want to stay a little longer and enjoy the moment. Definitely a place we'll be coming back to. Highly recommend! read more

The food is always delicious, which is why we continue to visit regularly. The Fettuccine Alfredo is a must-try and one of our favorite dishes on the menu. The staff is consistently friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is welcoming, clean, and comfortable. This has become one of our favorite places to dine, and we highly recommend it. read more

Utopia European Caffe - Utopia BLT Tray (med) Lentil Soup - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tustin, California

This is a chic, european themed cafe. The staff is nice and they have a bakery section as well as options for hot dishes. We started with a strawberry avocado salad, and got a cacio e pepe for our main. Got walnut baklava for dessert. Cacio e Pepe- This was an interesting twist on cacio e pepe. It has mushrooms, a cheese base, finished with a crispy cheese lace and served with a slice of garlic bread. The flavor was decent but the pasta was on the dry side. Strawberry Avocado Salad- The salad was served fresh with a generous amount of greens and sliced strawberries. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. Walnut Baklava- I was not a fan of this one sadly. The pastry was soggy but it was a sweet treat at the end of the meal. Some improvements could be made on food items but the experience was good overall. read more

POV: you went to Utopia European Caffe for "just coffee" and somehow left with a full brunch, dessert, and 200 photos for Instagram. This Tustin café is seriously so cute -- cozy European vibes, pretty drinks, and food that makes you want to order "one of everything." The chicken fettuccine Alfredo is rich and flavorful, the bolognese is dangerous in the best way, and the Utopia Latte with rose petals and pistachios? Basically the main character of the table. Honestly, this is the type of place where you say "let's keep it simple" and end up staying for two hours gossiping over Turkish coffee. 10/10 brunch behavior. read more

Place is on District St which is conveniently very close to the parking lot, and ease of access. Place is big with 10+ tables on the covered patio and few tables inside. Tables inside for two is a bit small but that is the European way. Service was decent, but weird they bring out the meals separately for your table. Also weird but this one I like, is you can order pasta at 9:30am!! Iced Matcha Latte (sweet) was really good, and not bitter tasting. 5/5 French breakfast platter was good. The croissant a bit dry but not made in house, definitely store bought. French fries had great seasoning. Brussels were a bit uncooked for me, but the spread of food and sauces/dips were a great touch. 4/5 read more

Aesthetically pleasing restaurant and food presentation! They offer both inside and outside seating. We chose outside on this beautiful day, and they have a massive patio roof to cover guests from the weather. The food was so delicious! I got a light nutella french toast, and it was super generous with the nutella spread, and the berries were fresh and crunchy. We also got their brussel sprouts and I loved it! Perfectly flavored and paired well with the tzatziki sauce. The waiters were nice and was consistent in prebussing our table and checking to see if we were okay. read more

Cute little European cafe located in The District in Tustin. They have both indoor seating and an outdoor covered patio area. This spot has great brunch vibes, but you can also go for dinner as well. You can also order their breakfast items all day! Order at the register, and they'll give you a number to put on your table. Someone will bring out your food to you when it's ready. I like that they have Turkish speciality dishes like the Classic Menemen and Housemade Manti. These were my favorite! The Classic Menemen has eggs, butter, garlic, herbs, bell pepper, and tomato, served with baguette slices. I don't see Manti Turkish Dumplings at restaurants too often, so when I saw this on the menu, I had to try it. It did not disappoint! These dumplings are stuffed with minced beef in a tomato sauce with yogurt. So yummy! I also like that they have a variety of breakfast platters, including a French, Mediterranean, English, and American-style platter. I got the French Breakfast Platter that includes eggs, home-fried potatoes, soujouk sausage, croissant, sauteed Brussels sprouts, and brie. On the side, you get fresh fruit, jam, and butter. Very filling! The Baby Arugula Salad was colorful and refreshing! It has feta cheese, walnuts, cherry tomato, and sun dried tomato with a lemon vinaigrette and black pepper garnish. If you're looking for something lighter but filling, would definitely recommend this salad! For a side, the Fried Cauliflower is a great option. It's served with a tzatziki sauce on the side. If you like Turkish coffee, they have it here! It's even served with a piece of Turkish Delight. read more

Got the American breakfast and a latte, both were tasty. The little bit of powder sugar on the pancakes was a nice treat, I loved that they had turkey bacon, and coffee was a great balance of coffee and milk, it tasted more like coffee than milk. Seating was a little awkward indoors and it was too cold to sit outside, but at least we had options. Staff were nice and the restaurant was clean. read more

Had a great experience here. Almost everything we ordered was delicious and thoughtfully put together. I had the Bolognese. The spaghetti was cooked perfectly with the rich, savory meat sauce. BF had the Breakfast Sandwich - grilled salami paired with the melted five-cheese blend, scrambled eggs, and their utopia sauce, inside a ciabatta. He wasn't a fan; said it was kinda greasy. I did really like the potato wedges that came with it. Super crispy and perfectly seasoned. For drinks, the Utopian Latte was yummy. The combination of espresso, white chocolate, and rosewater was unique but really well balanced - not too sweet, with a subtle floral note. The whipped cream, rose petals, and pistachio on top made it feel extra special. And the Pistachio Éclair was the perfect way to end the meal - light, airy pastry filled with a creamy pistachio filling, with just the right amount of sweetness and a nice nutty finish. Overall, everything felt elevated but still comforting. I'd definitely come back. read more

This little cafe is quaint and open early on the weekends. All other food places don't open until later so they have my money. There is the option to order at the counter for take out and to be seated and get served. The staff this morning were friendly. The place was about half full when I arrived a little after 9:00 am and people were still coming in. We love their Pomegranate Blossom Refresher drink. Not too tart and not too sweet. It's perfect! We have yet to try their Pome-Nade (aka pomegranate lemonade). The chocolate croissant I ordered was like their take on a Dubai chocolate croissant. It was heated up and drizzled with chocolate and crushed pistachios. The female employee mentioned she would be putting chocolate in the croissant after it gets heated but there was none, just chocolate on the top. I want to come back and try more of their food. They have items like breakfast plates, omelettes, gelato, pasta, and salads, in addition to pastries and desserts. They also have one retail wall with a lot of tea sets, coffee, tea, and candies. read more

Utopia European Caffe - Chocolate croissant and Pomegranate Blossom Refresher (med) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tustin, California

Went here for brunch after costco run. The food is a typical brunch but had a good different options order the French which comes with a croissant, potatoes, eggs, fruits, Brussels sprouts and sausage. Food was delicious and good flavoring but the only thing that kinda didnt sit well was the sausage and the fruits were very bland. The matcha latte tasted really nice it kinda had a hint of starbucks matcha. The bussers/servers were very nice and had a positive attitude and very attentive with any needs. I really like how they have a patio area that you can eat in and bring your dog as well! read more

Utopia Caffe is famous for their absolutely stunning outdoor patio that looks straight out of a European storybook. They're usually super packed for brunch and lunch. Their French breakfast platter is the most perfect breakfast platter ever--comes with a croissant, eggs your way, Turkish sausage, home-fried potatoes, and a side of brie cheese, jam, and fresh fruit. They're also known for their menemen dish which is similar to shakshouka. Tomatoes, bell peppers, and runny egg...all that deliciousness you can smear on the bread. But the star of the show had to be the Utopia latte. Ugh, this was like heaven and roses in a cup. Thanks for reading! ^-^ read more

Wow! I'm truly impressed! What did we order? Rose Lemonade, Pomegranate ? (Not the refresher), Utopia Latte, Utopia Yogurt, Kibbeh, side of potato wedges, omelet without cheese or sauce. Also took home 3 boxes of Turkish delight and one can of pomegranate powder. Everything was delicious and well thought out. I almost had a complaint about the Utopia Yogurt, but I had to change my mind about this in the end. The parfait came topped with apricots, fresh strawberries, nuts, and granola, maybe more. I didn't think it was sweet enough to cover the tartness of the homemade yogurt. Silly me, there was a fine later of sweet preserves right at the bottom. Wow! Incredible once I found it. It was completely my fault. I normally don't mix all my ingredients together. It seemed to be freshly made from fresh fruit and sweetener and not a dollop of store bought jelly. It was perfect with the Utopia Latte. That delight was sweetened with rose syrup and topped with finely chopped pistachios. The whipped cream was yummy too. My husband raved about the omelet and I took a bite to report that it was well seasoned and fluffy. It had sausage and grilled veggies inside. I thought the combination sounded like too much, but no, I was upset that I had so much food already because I wanted an omelet after that bite. My husband had a rose water lemonade which was prepackaged and he also had the pomegranate refresher. After taking a sip of the pomegranate drink, I went back to the counter and purchased a can of the powder that they sell. I don't like in California, I was passing through. I will confess that they gave me a bag for my purchases that advertised their sister restaurant Doner. I ordered from there with Uber Eats for dinner because my breakfast was so good. You'll have to wait for my review on that one. read more

Grabbed brunch here for the first time. Pretty busy but was seated fairly quick. Tried their chicken pesto sandwich which comes with a side of potato wedge OR salad. Was around 15-17 dollars. Big portion size. Crispy and well seasoned potato, which was a plus in my book. read more

We went here for a quick rainy day weekend brunch! The place is packed!! Make sure you go with time on hand! They don't have table service you have to order first and grab a seat and the servers then will bring you food out. Water is not served you need to take it on your own from water station. Coffee was on mark! And food was huge portion. Ambience is very Middle East feels. Love the atmosphere read more

This is a great spot whether you're looking for just a coffee or full lunch. I came here for a coffee and pastry with a friend and had a great experience. The staff is always friendly and helpful. This time I got a hot latte and a potato and cheese pastry. The pastry was bit bland so I probably wouldn't get this again but I would recommend a croissant instead. There is some seating inside but a lot more on their outdoor patio. read more

If you're going here, it's only because it's in a convenient location and it looks clean. Don't get me wrong, the food is decent, but it's not worthy of being a sole destination. You're only eating here if you're spending a bunch of time around the mall and you happen to be hungry. The food is nourishing, and that's where it stops. I've made sandwiches and chicken alfredo that's tasted the exact same at home. The chicken in the alfredo comes in small chunks that are hard to eat with the long noodles and it would've been much better in strips. read more

The whole menu is halal too which makes it even better! read more

Utopia European Caffe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tustin, California

Utopia has been added to our weekend family ritual. We like to go as a family to hang out & eat or even read with desserts & coffee together. I would recommend the outdoor seating as the indoor seating is near where you line up to order. I started coming here for meetings with people so we could work on things over coffee. But the food is good too. My husband likes the breakfast options and my kids really liked the pasta dishes they offer. I like the coffee & desserts, even like their plain, black coffee - which says a lot about the quality of coffee. The desserts are not too sweet & sugary. I would recommend the baklava! I have to get a decoy baklava so I can enjoy my own:) Service...it gets the job done. We have been many times. Most of the time it is ok, they take the order & bring the food to your table. There has been one time where it was exceptional and the guys bringing food and servicing the outdoor area were so friendly & attentive. read more

I love the ambiance and decor of this place! Warm, chic with just a dash of bougieness to make you feel special. The platters are hearty, tasty and best bang for your buck. I loved the variety of cheese slices that came with the Mediterranean platter. The pancake in the American platter was fluffy and flavorful on its own - one of the better pancakes I've had! The tres leches was a little too wet for my liking - it was soaked in watery syrup. While the Dubai chocolate cake was delicious, I can only eat so much because it was very rich and sweet. Great service too! Everyone was friendly and our food got served pretty quickly. Definitely coming back to try the Turkish coffee (it wasn't available during our visit) and some of the other cakes read more

Food was good , service too, and ambience was nice , But two things didn't seem interesting. The first was the loud music that filled the space and the second was that the lady taking the order looked sullen and angry. Of course, maybe that's not always the case, and we were unlucky that day. I recommend this place to those who like to have a good time with their friends and enjoy hot food and drinks. read more

I loved my dish but I definitely want to try other items on the menu next time. 4 stars though cause my friend ordered one of the desserts and got food poisoning after. read more

As long as service was good, I don't give under a three, and everyone was kind and service was really quick. Pretty nice spot aesthetically, but the food itself was not my cup of tea. water was BOOTY Fries- not bad wish there was a slightly better outer crunch, I like the soft inside BLT- my favorite one so far. Nice buttery bread, decent ratio of ingredients, taste everything. Well put together but at the end of the day it's a BLT. Well made for what it is Pastrami - liked the freshness of tomatoes with the saltiness of the pastrami. Okay ratio a little bread heavy but ingredients are solid once again Chicken Pesto - bad ratio, mostly bread, chicken is dry, good ingredients but again the ratio were off. Emphasis on too much bread read more

Came here for breakfast with my family and we were able to sit outside with my dog. You place your order in the cafe, then find a seat. The service here was great, they bring the food to the table for you. I ordered their utopian latte, which is espresso with white chocolate, and rose water. It also comes out very pretty and didn't taste too sweet. I also ordered the French platter which came with a wide array of food. I also ordered a cheese borek, which is a flaky pastry that comes with warm cheese. Overall, I enjoyed everything I had here and would definitely come back here. read more

Utopia Caffe was one of those restaurants that I kept saying "I'll try this one day" and that lasted for a few years lol but one day my girlfriend and I figured hey let's give it a shot! It wasn't what we expected and at the same time what we expected which are good things! The "wasn't expected" was that we we're going to order our own food and find our own table (which I had no problem with, just not what I was expecting since it seemed like a fancy brunch spot with a podium at the front that gave me the impression of someone will seat us) and the "expected" was food looked good and tasted delicious (more on that) atmosphere was decent, but felt it was more of an outdoor seating restaurant which I get since it's suppose to mimic the European eatery culture (at least that's what I imagine lol) but onto the food! FOOD Madridian Omelette This seemed like a crowd-favorite so I had to give it a try and I have to say it was quite delicious! Doesn't seem like a lot but it's rather filling while having a delectable flavor in every bite! I can safely say this will be my go-to entrée! Pasta Primavera I only had a bite as this was my girlfriend's dish and I have to say, full of flavor but bowtie past isn't really my thing. On the other hand if you enjoy that style of paste, I'd highly recommend it! Plus it seemed my girlfriend really enjoyed it! Turkish Coffee I learned a new style of coffee and I can't wait to try the real thing when we plan a venture off into Turkey! Rather strong but refreshing! It's a whole process when consuming Turkish coffee that blends sweet and bold taste! Plus the way it's served is pretty neat! OVERALL We'll definitely visit again when we're in the area as they do provide a variation of meals and drinks. Upon the time trying this place, we visited in the month of April which was starting to heat up but the outdoor seating with the shade is actually quite nice. Great place for dates, catching up with friends, Mother's day and everything in between! Thanks again Utopia Caffe for the delicious meal, we'll be visiting again soon! read more

Was good in the moment, so bad after First of all, the ambiance is nice. The guy, who brought the food to the table, was extremely attentive and fast. Food? I got their pasta with fettuccine and mushrooms - it tasted well, but was suuuuper greasy, so I didn't finish it. I felt so heavy after - the pasta ended up in the toilet. That was my experience- wasn't worth it. Haven't tried their pastries, maybe they're good. Be careful if you're not used to the fatty stuff. read more

Utopia European Caffe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tustin, California

We've come here a handful of times. Firstly the decor is top notch, modern, picturesque. They have indoor sitting but most people prefer the little outdoor patio as the inside can get a bit loud. Loud because the kitchen is right there and visible so you hear all the clacking and what not as they cook. You order at the register, get a little number to place at the table you choose and the food will come rather fast. I got their Utopia Latte, pretty good. My daughter and I both got the French Breakfast Platter. The food was delicious to say the least! They have pretty delicious desserts including baklava! Parking was super easy as this restaurant sits at an outdoor mall area with a ton of parking available. One strange thing that happened during this visit, but I guess it made it more European is that we were talked to in Spanish haha so I got to practice my vocabulary haha it was rather weird but at least we got to order in English. read more

Came here for brunch before watching a movie and had a lovely meal here! No fuss and no frills, just yummy food We arrived around 10am and we were seated right away. They give you a number for your table and then you go up to the register and order yourself. Service was great! The hostess and the worker that took our order were great. We also noticed how quickly they cleaned up tables and got new parties sat. My husband and I split the following: the French Breakfast Platter, Fraise Mango Yogurt, and a Sea Salt Cream Cold Brew. The food came out so fast! Everything tasted great! It didn't blow us away or anything, but it was yummy. I really enjoyed all the different options on the breakfast platter. There were so many things to eat: the croissant with jam, the croissant with brie, the potatoes with the delicious sauce they gave us, brussells sprouts also dipped in that sauce ... so many different bites of food on one plate! The yogurt was also fresh and not too sweet. It was nice to start the day with something that wasn't too heavy. I would definitely come back! I want to try their pastries and desserts :) read more

This place is unique to me and my tastes. Let's look at the positives: the menu offers some interesting items with a European flare and style. The food came out quickly and was hot and tasty. Things on the surface are wonderful and charming. Here are some items that made my visit less than five stars: No one greets you when you arrive? They place a stack of menus on a host stand for you to grab one when you arrive. You seat yourself. You then get up and go to the front and order? They give you tip options of 18, 20, and 22 percents when you pay. I asked what am I paying for as far as service? She said they bring the food to you. You can select other and offer no tip. The tables around us were full of dishes and flies were buzzing around. Flies were inside the pastries and worse of all, the bathrooms were dirty. The main reason I give this place two stars in that it is not clean. Dirty bathrooms are a huge red flag for other issues of care and cleanliness. This is a dirty restaurant. The food is decent, but the main issue with me, is the cleanliness and lack of service and warmth from the staff. read more

I've been here twice so far and have really enjoyed their breakfast. I've gotten their French breakfast plate which has been delicious! I love that it has a little of everything. It can be a bit confusing when you first come in. The menu is displayed on top but with no real description of the meal itself. But they have paper menus around that will describe each item in good detail. If it's your first time here it's best to grab a paper menu and step to the side to go through it all since the line moves fairly fast. I would def recommend this place! I love that breakfast is served all day. Sometimes I still want breakfast later in the day so it's a win for me! read more
