Always good to visit. Usually, ordering works great. But on this visit, my daughter received the manti dumplings after I ate my French breakfast platter. The staff explained that manti dumplings take about fifteen minutes longer than other dishes. It would help to put that info on the menu, to let customers know before ordering. We like everything we have tried, but the soujouk sausage served with the breakfast platters is a bit too fatty and salty for us. read more

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

This is our second time here. We found it on our way home from Disneyland, hungry and needing a bathroom. It is 10 minutes "down the road" (highway 261) from the Anaheim Convention Center. This sweet café is set in The District Shopping Center and seems to be quite a popular spot. Grab a menu and a table, then head to the counter to order. As you wait, enjoy the European café vibe. Small, beautiful, and lovely pastry display. Don't be surprised if you make a second, "to go" order before you head out. From the pastries to the drinks and snacks to gifts, this little gem of a café is full of fun treats! The service is wonderfully warm & inviting! The plating is a combination of simple elegance and fun. The drink tray is beautiful! I like to know how things work and to learn about different cultures, so I have ALL the questions! I did hold back a little bit but asked quite a few questions. Not once, did I feel like a bother. Macho was our server today and the couple of times my questions stumped him, Ellie, the General Manager, swooped in with the answers. Ellie took the time to explain what we needed for a Turkish coffee set up. She didn't pose it as a sales pitch and try to push us into something we didn't need. Even on her break, she made the time to give us a quick lesson on the cultural traditions with Turkish coffee and even shared a personal story about how her family enjoys the coffee. Though she suggested a small pot, I wanted a double and cute cup set, much to my wife's chagrin. LOL To the drinks... Turkish Coffee, espresso drinks, teas, FRESHLY SQUEEZED lemonade & OJ, etc. We also grabbed a Ginger Beer to go, from the refrigerated section of bottled drinks. The Pomegranate drink (powder) can be used hot or cold, with tea or lemonade, and is a lovely balance to just about everything they serve. Take a peek at the loose leaf teas they offer. Next time, I'll try the lemon ginger tea to go (I prefer coffee with my food). Alright Y'all! About the food... let's start with the hummus. The roasted garlic hummus, served with pita, is my wife's "favorite hummus EVER! The hummus was fresh, creamy and topped with a nice balance of freshly roasted garlic & olive oil. The pita is good, too, it isn't flimsy like some ot overly heavy. Note: it is also offered plain or with roasted red pepper." She also chose the fried brussels. "Perfectly cooked, not mushy or over-fried. Lighly tossed in olive oil and parmesean cheese, it was perfectly balanced. Served with a lemon wedge and tzatziki sauce." Today, I had the Mediterranean Breakfast Platter. Served with 2 eggs, 3 cheeses, beautiful rustic-y bread, sausage, salad, grilled olives, honey, and jam. Y'ALL! OK, they GRILLED 2 olives!!! The presentation was as lovely as the taste! The eggs were cooked as ordered and a necessary addition (for me) to the plate. I love my eggs. I enjoyed trying them with the various cheeses and dipping my bread in the yolk. YUM! The cheeses, kashar, feta, and brie, were yummy with everything on the plate! I saved the salad dressing, a grilled green olive, and small chunk of feta for my last bite. SO GOOD!!! The soujouk sausage, reminded me of a tasty gyro. I forgot to ask my questions about this, so more on that next time. Just know, it was quite flavorful. I still can't get over that they made time to grill olives for a beautiful presentation! Real or perceived, it seemed to give it a different flavor. I'm going to see about finding the world's tiniest panini maker and start grilling my own. The (Mediterranean) "medi salad" was almost what you'd expect, yet with a deliciously light twist. There were sliced cucumbers, cherry heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, and a light sunshine-y vinaigrette that had a light lemon-y taste. The honey & jam were yummy with the cheeses and bread. Everything on the platter felt intentional and healthy without feeling like "diet" or "healthy" food. Our first trip, I had a mango yogurt (that's not what it is actually called). Oh my goodness, Y'all! As with everything else served here, it was beautifully balanced with the perfect amounts of yogurt, mango, dried figs, jam & sunflower seeds. I had it without walnuts, due to allergies. We also got some pastries to go on our first trip. The poacha, borak, and something else yummy, were SOOOO GOOOOD!!!! Another thing I absolutely LOVE about this place, is that they support/partner with a local artist/florist, Livintins Succulents. Her incredible artwork is unique, eclectic, fun, and classy. I truly enjoy the use of frames, birdcages, quirky pottery, succulents, plants, and dried flowers. She hosts classes on site, as well. The entire vibe of this café and willingness to host the artist & classes, is homey and a care for the community. 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

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

What a fantastic place. You feel transported when you're here. Service was friendly, food was delicious. I very much enjoyed my French platter. Lots of food and it was fun having so much to pick at. My husband enjoyed their Santa Ana omelette. I was impressed they gave a half avocado on there! Most places skimp. Latte was also great. Thank you. read more

Hey everyone, I just had the most amazing experience at Utopian European Café over in The District! Seriously, if you're in the Bay Area , you've got to check this place out. I tried their Breakfast Platters specifically the French one with a croissant, and it was absolutely delicious. To top it off, their Utopian Cafe Latte was sumptuous. Big shoutout to Nacho our waiter, who was incredibly professional and worked so hard to make our visit great. I'm definitely going back, and I think you all should too! Ambience is great. read more

Delicious food and very well made cafe drinks! This place definitely gave off a true European vibe. I loved how they brought out my matcha matte on a beautiful display tier stand and brought out my plate on a wooden board with all the accoutrements. The portion sizes are well worth the price. The service was outstanding as well. Alcin (I hope I spelled it properly) and Nacho were amazing! From the very beginning Alcin was welcoming and went above and beyond, you can find him running around all over the restaurant, bussing, bringing orders, etc. Then finding out he's the manager was wonderful. Leading by example, you can see why all the waiters and bussers work ethic was amazing. Definitely will be returning! read more

We love Utopia Caffe! It's a cute cafe restaurant that has a variety of brunch or lunch options. We also love that they are dog friendly. They have a Mediterranean flair to their dishes. When you order a sandwich, for example, it comes with ciabatta bread, or when you order an omelette with sausage, it is a Turkish type of sausage. Their portions are very generous and when the husband and I are in the mood for an omelette, we order one omelette and share... which is plenty for the both of us. Their drinks are the best. I LOVE their Utopia Latte. Wow. I usually don't like sweet drinks (I drink my coffee black) nor do I like consuming flower petals, but this drink is on another level. It is smooth, well balanced, not overly sweet, and the dried flower petals are a beautiful touch that give an interesting textual element without a floral aftertaste. I tried their Mezze Platter today and it was fresh and very good. The hummus was very smooth and the pita bread came out piping hot. Husband had their breakfast sandwich which came in a ciabatta bread which he thoroughly enjoyed. Utopia Caffe is located at The District. It's a cute caffe with a casual vibe where you wait to get seated, go inside to the counter to order and they bring your food and drinks out to your table. Highly recommend. read more

Adorable cafe in The District! Husband and I stopped in for a quick lunch and we were impressed. The seating set up was nice where they would tell you the number of your table and go get it set up while you went inside to the cashiers to order and pay for food. Then walked out to your table where place set ups were waiting for you. We ordered the homemade manti which were perfect little pocket dumplings. For me personally it was a lot of yogurt but the yogurt does cut the acidity of the tomato sauce. The cheesy bread was absolutely our favorite. My husband ordered the Soujouk Kashar Panini which was the favorite of the two dishes. The panini was hot, cheesy, and balanced well. His only wish was there were more potatoes for the side haha! Highly recommend this spot for a light meal before shopping, a movie or night at the bowling alley. read more

I just stopped by here and only sampled a few of the items so this is not a complete review. It seems like it would be a much better spot to try for brunch and have some of the delicious looking breakfast items. The ambiance is very lovely and the service is fast. The pastries I tried were a little disappointing and on the milder side flavor wise. I wish I had tried the carrot cake instead! I'll have to come back here and do a proper review for brunch sometime. read more

Shoutout to my co-worker Diana for suggesting we come to try out Utopia Caffe! :) We all work in Tustin and come to The District to eat at other surrounding locations but we have never been here so we wanted to try this place out for lunch on a Friday during our lunch break. The interior was very cute and on theme with feeling very European! I loved the plant decor and the floral wallpaper with complimenting light fixtures! We arrived at 11:50 a.m. and it was already filled with people. There was plenty of outside seating so we chose to sit outside, despite the chill in the air. The ordering process went by very quickly and the cashier was very friendly. I am NOT exaggerating when I say that we sat down and our food arrived HOT and FRESH within 15 minutes or less; all 4 of our orders! I got the Chipotle Chicken Wrap with potatoes and the portions are also HUGE. I ate half and ate the other half the next day for lunch! We also shared the fried brussels that had some tzatziki adjacent dipping sauce and lemon which was delicious. I wish the brussels were more fried/charred, but not a single brussel sprout was left! The hot chai was perfectly filled to the brim with such precision and talent. The warming spices in the chai and the hot oat milk made for a delicious hot drink to warm me up! My co-worker got the pomegranate rosewater lemonade and it was beautiful color and so pretty! I personally am not a fan of rose of floral flavored things, so it was not my favorite, but if you do, I recommend ordering! We will be coming back here again soon! :) read more

Utopia European Caffe - Sea Salt Cream Cold Brew, Santa Ana Omelette, Utopia Latte, Mediterranean Breakfast Platter - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tustin, California

Our family's favorite breakfast spot! We love the European decor, the outside seating, and of course the playlist is SUPERB! I've asked the staff many times and everyone says it's the owners playlist. So if the owner is reading this... please share it Food - my kids love the breakfast platter, because it has a little bit of everything. We always get the Olympian as well. But what stands out the most is the presentation of the platters. Anybody can make eggs, but when it's presented like a beautiful charcuterie of delishness, it makes it so much more enjoyable. One negative - I am not a fan of the avocado toast lately, as they started to over drench the avocado and don't make the bread toasty enough. Oh, and the Utopia latte is a must! I take a photo every time! read more

Food was okay, but as the reviews said NOT 5 star ! It is expensive here. I came here the first time. Had chicken sandwich. The lettuce inside was brown and not fresh.

Less expensive than putting 1/2 tbsp Turkish coffee in water!! Service was not good. The lady was rude and ignored us . I will not come here again. read more

Walking around before our movie, decided to try this cute looking place. It was busy but the line moved quickly to place your order and our food came out fast. The host, cashier, and server were all friendly. Service was great. I ordered breakfast and it was ok, the croissant was dry and hard outside and inside, it was quite a mess, flakes everywhere at first bite. The sausage was also hard, and extremely salty. The eggs and potatoes were plain. I liked the plating, it was rustic and nicely presented. read more

Been back here a few times. Utopia comes up so often on yelp through any meal search, it's hard to avoid. The eggs are still consistently fluffy and rich, swimming in butter. Who wouldn't love that. My arteries that's who! Love the little Nutella jars they sell here, very reminiscent of Europe, including their little Turkish coffee sand stand. The decor is just adorable and the menu all sound delicious but something about how tired one gets after eating here... I just don't know if it's worth it. If I have to pick a particular bone with the food it'd be the parfait. The combinations sound nice but everything is just tossed together without caring for the texture or taste of nuts. While I appreciate seeing the entire shape of a walnut, a chopped and toasted version would bring out much more fragrance and bite. And if you're feeling adventurous candy those suckers or toast them up with some spices. Service is prompt. read more

Utopia European Café truly lives up to its name. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed into a warm, thoughtfully designed space that blends pan-European charm with a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. The décor alone sets the tone for a memorable experience. The food is exceptional, and the chicken pesto sandwich is nothing short of phenomenal. The chicken is juicy, plentiful, and perfectly cooked, while the pesto sauce is divine and bursting with flavor. Pro tip: order it panini style. The ciabatta is toasted to absolute perfection, adding just the right crunch while staying soft inside. It's clear there's real intention and creativity behind every bite. Do not skip the espresso, and be sure to enjoy it in the restaurant. The service transforms it into a special ritual, complete with a Turkish delight served on a meticulously designed tray that reflects the care and pride the team takes in the full experience. It's these thoughtful touches that elevate Utopia beyond a typical café. Prices are incredibly reasonable, especially considering the generous portions, bold flavors, and overall creativity. The associates genuinely take pride in both the food and the guest experience, and it shows in every interaction. Utopia European Café is a standout gem with soul, flavor, and heart. Highly recommend. read more

Was my first time in The District at Tustin Legacy!! Utopia Caffe was the first thing that caught my eye (the lovelocks on the fences imitating the one in France). We made it right in time for brunch. We ordered a French Nutella Toast (4 pc), Pomegranate Blossom Lemonade, Croissant, and a Cappuccino. The French Nutella Toast was extremely tasty and the portion of the croissant was huge. The pomegranate blossom lemonade (?) was good. However, my mom said the cappuccino was a disappointment. She was upset about the lack of latte art and the taste. She said it tastes like water and it was not hot. read more
