    Cacio e Pepe
    Gardenia B.

    I don't mean to sound like a cliché, but this is definitely a hidden gem! Absolutely loved brunch here and can't believe this was barely my first time! everything we ordered was pretty good, but my favorite definitely had to be the crispy feta rolls and the menemen! Of course the cacio e pepe was delicious, but if i had to go for only one thing, it has to be the French breakfast platter. I obviously needed a coffee too, so I got the utopia latte which was topped with rose and pistachios and it was literally a dream. We ended up sitting outside because it was such a beautiful day and the patio is a perfect cozy spot to enjoy the day. Definitely can't wait to go back and bring friends!

    Strawberry pancakes

    This cafe was pleasant for a lunch date. The table space inside is a bit limited but we grabbed a spot on their nice patio. Would've been nicer had it not been so hot outside, but that's not their fault. We enjoyed the food. Wife thought the pancakes were really well done. The bolognese was good but felt lacking something that would give it more flavor. The feta and tzatziki taquitos were an interesting combo and I liked them. Not a bad choice if you're in The District area and looking for a place to sit down.

    Great place for brunch. It's located in The District in Tustin. I love the space, they have indoor and outdoor seating. Their staff is super friendly and the pastries/cakes were amazing.

    Went out to get some brunch and decided to stop by here. The food here looks absolutely beautiful, with amazing service. We got the santa anna omlette, manti pasta, nutella toast, and yogurt. All was delicious, but our fave was the omlette.

    Chicken Fettucine Alfredo
    Alice W.

    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.

    Strawberry avocado salad
    Raven R.

    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.

    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.

    Iced Matcha Latte
    Annie L.

    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

    Matcha latte and avocado toast with home fries.
    Paulie Z.

    I came here on a Saturday for brunch. First time here. The decor is nice and the place looks clean and orderly. I ordered at the counter and then picked a seat. I didn't wait long for my drink and food. I love the matcha latte and loved it even more that they put a heart shape on top. The avocado and toast with a slightly under cooked egg yolk was delicious. I also loved their home fried potatoes. The portion was good for the price. I'm definitely coming back again to try the other items on the menu and get myself another latte! On another minor note, please remember to provide the utensils when serving the food. I had to call the guy back before he left to ask.

    Breakfast !!!

    Great service. Staff is very friendly and food is delicious and fresh. Lots to pick from and if you love European food you will be happy here. I always prefer their vegetarian omelet and Utopia hot and iced coffee is to die from.

    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.

    This is our second time here. Both times were wonderful. It's so cute and clean. The coffee is so smooth and their lemonade is so refreshing. Their iced tea is fresh brewed too. Their portions are huge. We got the American breakfast and a giant pastrami sandwich and their sausage is delicious. Are so fast I didn't have time to take a picture of the f

Our server was very warm and helpful. For two of us we ordered one heavier dish and 3 on the lighter side and I actually left pretty stuffed. The menu is always evolving so I'd love to return, but for this visit we started with the bread and ham butter. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the ham butter imparted so much flavor. My favorite item that we ordered was the Galician Octopus. The thin slices were perfectly executed and the flavors underneath packed a punch. I would pass on the Gambas al Ajillo. While the shrimp were large, I found myself wishing that they had some char. The Summer Squash Salad was a perfect complement to the other dishes. I found the squash ribbons to be unique, the dressing to be light and fresh, and the inclusion of small bits of cheese to impart just the right amount of saltiness to the dish. Because we were celebrating my birthday, they gave us a complimentary slice of the basque cheesecake with a candle in it. Typically I'm not a big fan of this type of cheesecake, but theirs was wonderful and we ate the whole thing. I'm always appreciative when a restaurant does a little something extra for a special occasion. Extra props to our server because she noticed the gift that my friend brought for me and took it upon herself to inquire about the occasion and bring the dessert. It's those little touches that mean a lot.

Their salmon bagel is super good too. I'm not a fan of caper but you can just ask them to not include it or just take them off yourself. If you look at my picture, under the salmon, there is a big slice of tomato that adds on to the flavor. Its so thick that I cant get a mouthful with all the flavors in one bite. After I tried the salmon bagel here, it's really hard for me to be satisfied with a salmon bagel anywhere else. They also have 2 soups of the day that they post on their Instagram. My favorite is their chicken Chipotle soup. Again, I love it so much I tried to make it at home so I can eat it if I'm craving it on a day that its not the soup of the day. You can tell their soups are made fresh because it always varies a little each time. Their cookies and brownies are delicious too. Their brownies are THICK. The only thing I would skip here is their coffee. Their menu sounds interesting and intriguing but they were just okay. For coffee, I would go to other coffee shops down the street. The vibe inside is a cute brunch spot and they have some patio seating as well. The patio seating is nice because the street in front is a one way street and isnt busy. There is limited street parking in front, but there is a parking garage around the corner.

I even drove from Westminster because I was looking forward to enjoying one of their sandwiches that I hadn't had in a long time. I also ordered an oatmeal raisin cookie, which unfortunately tasted unusually salty. I called to share my feedback about the cookie, and the response I received from Frank was dismissive and unhelpful. He stated that he tastes the cookies every morning and insisted there was nothing wrong with them. There was no offer to replace the item or further address my concern, and the conversation ended abruptly with a brief "have a good day." Overall, I was disappointed by the lack of attentiveness and willingness to engage with a customer concern over what was simply one menu item. Unfortunately, this experience has changed my perception of the restaurant and may affect my decision to return in the future and share the experience of horrible customer service!!
