"Dropped wife off to grab table while I parked, she was being led to 4-top table in the corner by the host, the waiter came over and told the host to put her on the 2-top next to the original table instead stating “that table is only for more than 2”, then immediately they seat 2 girls at our original scoped 4-top table with same waiter and he says nothing. The waiter’s service itself to us personally was great, but that interaction/decision broke the experience from the start."

"This place was our family favorite brunch place prePandemic (before kids got married). After pandemic: price went up ridiculously. For two of us (me and hubby) $100 and we don’t even drink alcohol - just food and tip We would still go there here and there but not like we used to. They won’t miss us cuz it’s always packed. Service: service is good. I prefer servers here than Urth cafe in Laguna. Space is clean for such a busy place. I haven’t yet to use bathroom so —- Only thing is that it’s very very noisy. I guess people are happy there."

"I am extremely disappointed and outraged by this restaurant. It was the only place open on Thanksgiving in the area, and we were actually excited to dine here. But what happened afterward was shocking. They discriminated against Asians. They didn’t give us water or plates—nothing was provided unless we specifically asked for it. We ordered the Dutch Baby with berries, but what they served was completely plain. When we asked the server where the berries were, she brought us an extremely small portion of fruit, and didn’t even give us any syrup. Later she asked if everything was okay—I said of course not—and she said she would “add a little more fruit.” I also ordered orange juice. Every other table received a normal-sized glass, while I was given a tiny one. Only after I asked why it was so small did she bring me a larger glass. When we checked out, they charged me $10 for that one glass of orange juice. You might as well just rob people at that point—should I be grateful you at least gave me a cup of juice? Their attitude was terrible from beginning to end. We hadn’t even finished eating when they came over and started clearing our plates, clearly trying to rush us out. Please, do NOT come to this restaurant. Their behavior is absolutely disgusting. 🤮"

"No exaggeration this is the best breakfast food I have ever had in my life. The first bite for huevos rancheros was a burst of flavors. I did not know what would come next, was how good everything was. The ketchup, bacon, eggs, potato, jam, avocado. Then came the cinnamon and that was some of the best cinnamon of my life. The only bad thing is that I am not from California and will not be able to come back here. 10/10. The servers were also super kind."

"Overall Plums Cafe was good, not great. Some things were solid, some things were mid, and a couple things were straight misses. Not sure if we hit them on a weird day or if it just did not live up to the hype for us, but that latte might be the only thing I go back for. I ended up ordering the Hangover Burger, even though it sounds funny at a brunch spot, but it actually was pretty good. The burger itself was cooked perfectly medium rare, super flavorful, runny egg, bacon, good onions, all that. I paired it with their hash browns and that part was kind of a bummer. Hash browns were soggy, not crispy, which is the whole point of hash browns. I had to throw ketchup on there just to revive it a little. My biggest complaint though is the English muffin they use as the bun. Nah. It got soggy right away, fell apart, especially with the egg. It just does not work as a burger bun. If they switched it to a regular bun, that burger would be way better. I would order it again, but it is not something that would make me say we need to come back here. Now the thing everyone talks about is the Plums Famous Dutch Baby. This thing comes out looking insane. Like five inches tall, huge, full of berries, looks like a masterpiece. Then you take a bite and it is literally just a giant dough ball with no flavor. We literally had to ask the waitress how you are supposed to eat it because we were so confused. She told us to use the berries, squeeze lemon all over it, then sprinkle powdered sugar on top. Once we did that, it was actually good. But by itself? Not it. It tricks you with the looks for sure. My wife’s experience was rough too. They messed up her food three separate times even though we clearly asked for scrambled eggs. Each time it came back wrong. The waitress was super sweet and apologetic, but they never comped anything which was kind of surprising after three mistakes. The one thing that absolutely slapped though was the banana twist latte. Full 10/10. Perfect sweetness, great banana flavor without being fake, still tasted like coffee, plus the little rock candy on top was a fun touch. Overall Plums Cafe was good, not great. Some things were solid, some things were mid, and a couple things were straight misses. Not sure if we hit them on a weird day or if it just did not live up to the hype for us."
