Olive Seed

Favorite Brunch Spot in town, hands down! Half service (which I love) keeps the service speedy in my opinion (you order at the register and they bring your food and drinks to your table) The ambiance is nice. LOVE their Benedicts, the hollandaise taste and amount they put on is the best I've ever had. Also loved their tots and french toast. Prices are not cheap like a diner but you defenitely get what you pay for. I can't wait to try everything else on the menu.

I got a breakfast burrito and it was delicious. Bacon was a little under cooked for my liking but overall it was tasty and a good portion size.

Stopped in for the very first time on Sunday February 23, 2025 and we're pleasantly surprised. Great family owned and operated business. The food was amazing!! Wonderful flavor and presentation!! Outstanding value!! Worthy of being added to any family MUST visit list or even for date nights. Thank you Olive Seed for a wonderful meal and pleasant environment. We'll be back!!!

Always good food and great service. Their breakfast burrito is my favorite and my kids love their croissant waffle.

Brioche French toast is good as always: very sweet if you don't opt out of something, but they give you the option to opt out of syrup, powdered sugar, mango puree or condensed milk. I highly recommend their mango puree and condensed milk, so the sugar and syrup were my "optionals." Their brunch items are better than lunch entree in general. We also tried their spaghetti today, and it's just soso. The marinara sauce is okay, but the prawns are not degutted, and mussels/clams are overcooked. My favorites are still their fruits, salad and French toast!

My wife and I love Olive seed for their consistent great service and flavorful dishes. A must in Yorba Linda !

Can’t believe this place just opened! It’s poppin and the food is so good! So healthy and fresh 🥗

The kimchi carbonara was so good—I couldn’t stop eating! That’s why the photo’s a little messy… I only remembered to take it halfway through 😅 Honestly, it’s the best pasta I’ve had in the U.S.! It’s summer, but I sat outside with my baby and it wasn’t hot at all. Loved the food and the vibe. I’ll definitely be back!

Great food, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared, and the service was quick and kind. You can really tell they care about their customers. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends!

Baristas Kitchen has so many choices on their menu from sweet croissant waffles to brioche French toast to savory breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos and salads. Love their fusion dishes like the bulgogi burrito and pasta dishes — so flavorful, hearty and quality ingredients. You can taste and see the quality and presentation in each dish. There is also an extensive drink menu from lattes to matcha to non caffeine options. The house made mascarpone cold foam is so delicious in lattes! And the Coco Lychee Matcha is so delicious — highly recommend for all lychee lovers! There is a kiosk to left of the entrance for quick ordering. Indoor and outdoor seating and is dog friendly! They also have complimentary doggie treats and cups for water for your doggies! There is a side section and front section for outdoor dining. Beautiful ambiance for brunch and to enjoy nice weather. Plenty of parking in the plaza. Staff is super nice and welcoming, friendly and service is attentive. Definitely will be back — there are so many options on the menu and EVERYTHING looks delicious!

We’ve been to Olive Seed a few times now and it has consistently impressed us. I’m not someone who’s easily blown away by food, but the Bulgogi Burrito was genuinely amazing, easily my new favorite. One of the employees, Min, was incredibly friendly and accommodating. She let me try a mix of their strawberry and mango lemonades (they typically offer one or the other), and she was also the one who recommended the Bulgogi Burrito. It was a great call! My husband ordered the Original Breakfast and really enjoyed it as well. We’ll definitely keep coming back to Olive Seed every time we’re in town. Highly recommend!

Went to Barista Kitchen for a rare date with my wife—friend recommended it and it was a solid call. We got the croissant waffle and the fried portobella mushrooms. The waffle texture was legit (crispy outside, soft inside), and the portobella mushrooms were my first time trying them fried… honestly way better than I expected. Really good brunch, chill vibe, and just a nice time overall. If you’re looking for a spot to eat well and enjoy the moment, I’d recommend it.

This was my second time visiting this new brunch spot, and it didn't disappoint. The food is delicious, especially the Stegg Salad and Huevos Rancheros. The meat was high quality, very tender, and not chewy at all. The owner is also incredibly friendly, which makes the whole experience even better. My favorite drink is Matcha Tiramisu. I’ll definitely be coming back again!

We decided to support a new business today and it was a great choice. This place is located where Olive Seed used to be. My wife got the California Omelet, I got the brioche French Toast. Normally a California omelet is just an Omelet, not in this case. I had a few bites and immediately I can taste the difference. I don't know if its a sauce or a seasoning but it had a different taste that was delicious. The bacon was chopped up in small bits and I really liked that the peppers were chopped up really small, it made the bite better, hard to explain you just need to try it. The French Toast was good, I didnt even need the syrup but I ended up using it after a few bites. My wife approved the coffee and we're picky with our coffee. There were alot of items that I wanted to try, I'm excited to go back. Definitely go check it out.

Just came in and got the fried chicken sandwich - Seoul Bird Sando. It comes with a red sauce and coleslaw that has horseradish in it which gives it the perfect kick. The chicken was amazing! Crispy and juicy. Their coffee was great as well. I had the Spanish latte iced, it was very refreshing. You've gotta try this place out. Service was great,staff was friendly, and the food and coffee are so good!!

Olive Seed is a fantastic find in Yorba Linda! 🌟 This Korean-Western brunch spot offers incredible value and flavor. The Rib-Eye Kimchi Fried Rice is a must-try 🍳, and the seafood pasta is loaded with shrimp, mussels, and clams 🍤. For $4 coffee ☕ and $13 avocado toast 🥑, it's a steal compared to other brunch spots. The semi-outdoor seating is so pleasant. 🌿 Plus, you get a free special drink for leaving a Google review! 🎉 A perfect, affordable spot for a delicious and relaxing meal. Highly recommended! 👍

Excellent stop on way to Nixon Library. Kimchi fried rice super with egg on top, veg omlett also very good. Coffee, yes please 🙏 recommended. Note name change to Olive Seed.

The Bulgogi Burrito tastes amazing and comes in a generous portion. The Kimchi Carbonara Spaghetti is truly special — rich, creamy, and slightly spicy, making it both delicious and refreshing. We had a very satisfying lunch and will definitely come back again!

Barista's Kitchen is such a great find!!!! Located in the same beautiful shopping complex as Bristol Farms, you'll find this perfect brunch spot for everyone. The menu has all the classic breakfast needs with the comfort of korean flavors too! They have a kids menu too! Staff is kind and courteous and service always with a smile!! Christina and Justin are the best! Christina gave our son a Strawberry lemonade and loved it! The space is clean and fresh and there's plenty of tables both inside and in their outdoor patio with umbrellas! Come for the food, their variety of coffee and teas, stay for the ambiance and invite everyone! Our family LOVES this place and it's only our first time! Going to be a regular for sure.

It's been 5 years since I came to the US, and this is the best brunch cafe I've been to. I've been to a lot of brunch places in Orange County, but most of them are too sweet and sugary, but Olive Seed feels like it has both flavor and health. Today was a happy day because I had delicious food for the first time in a long time.

This is our favorite brunch place. My favorite menu items are the fried chicken wings, kimchi carbonara, fruit croiffle. Their iced Matcha latte and einspanner drinks are so good! The owner Kevin is extremely friendly. We come here at least once a week!

First visit, but definitely not my last. Food, coffee, and service were all amazing. Do yourself a favor and order the Tiramisu Latte—you won’t regret it! ☕️✨

New management is awesome😍 Every food is so fresh and tasty 💕

I ordered the special coffee drink today it’s delicious. All the plates we order have been great and freshly made. The wings are amazing!

I had a weekday brunch with another mom at this restaurant and had a very pleasant experience with every meal that was ordered. The chicken wings were my favorite, but the kimchi fried rice and the rice cake soup was as awesome as the wings!! The owners were super friendly and kind, and we both ended up ordering more wings togo for dinner. Highly recommend this place!!!

Great place for brunch. Perfect mix of sweet and savory, sunshine, and good vibes.

First time at Barista’s Kitchen — yep, we’re coming back weekly 😄 Came to Barista’s Kitchen for the first time today with friends and it was such a good find. The food hit, the drinks were fun, and the whole place just felt easy and comfy. 🍽️ What we ordered: Bulgogi Burrito: Honestly way better than I expected — super flavorful and filling without feeling heavy. Prosciutto Panini: Crispy + melty in the best way. The prosciutto/cheese combo is a win. Croissant Waffle w/ Fruits: Buttery, crispy, and the fruit makes it feel not too guilty 😂 also super cute for pics. ☕️ Drinks: We got the Espresso Tonic and Lavender Matcha. The matcha was good, but the Espresso Tonic was totally my vibe — bright, refreshing, and just the right espresso kick. I’d order that again 100%. 🙌 Service: Everyone was really nice and made us feel welcome right away. They were patient while we took forever deciding (lol), answered questions, and everything came out pretty fast. Just good, friendly energy overall. Great menu, great drinks, great service — we’re definitely making this a weekly hangout spot. 👍

Barista’s Kitchen is a cozy and welcoming spot that makes you want to stay a while. The atmosphere feels relaxed, with friendly staff who greet you kindly and make sure you are taken care of. The drinks are flavorful, especially the espresso tonic which is refreshing. The food is also delicious, with big portions. Everything feels thoughtfully made and comforting. It is a great place to meet friends or enjoy a quiet moment with a good drink. Overall, Barista’s Kitchen is a lovely café that leaves a great impression and makes you want to come back again.

Barista’s Kitchen is a charming and comfortable place that feels friendly from the moment you walk in. The space is clean and inviting, and the staff are polite and helpful. The food tastes very fresh and homemade. The drinks are also very good, especially the coffee and matcha latte. It is a nice spot to relax, enjoy a meal, or spend time with friends and family. Overall, Brisa’s Kitchen is a pleasant place with good food, kind service, and a wonderful atmosphere that makes people want to return.

Loved the food and coffee here. The tiramisu latte was great, and both the pork belly bowl and huevos rancheros were delicious. The staff were friendly, and the cozy, relaxed atmosphere makes it a perfect spot for a morning catch-up. I’d love to try more of their menu next time.

You can’t go wrong with the bulgogi burrito? Croissant waffle and fried chicken or Rib eye kimchi fried rice. Their cup bingsu is so fresh and delicious… the mango and strawberry ones is always PACKED with fruit.

I have came here since it opened and when I tell you this might be the most underrated brunch place ever. The korean/fusion food is amazing and the is always fresh and out quickly. The staff if really nice and efficient as well

Food is good, this is a Korean style brunch place which you might not get from the name. I assumed it would be Mediterranean or Greek but I was pleasantly surprised. I got the Bulgogi burrito and the fried chicken and croissant waffle. The chicken was very good and the waffle was good as well. It's actually a croissant but made in a waffle press. The burrito was just ok but the grilled potatoes that came with it were delicious. Kind of pricey but it's a brunch place so it's to be expected. The staff is excellent and very friendly. Worth a try if you're in the area.

First visit to the Olive Seed. IMO, they have a better rating. We stopped for a quick bite. One orders at the counter. The menu is very impressing. Although against my better judgment, I ordered the braised beef Eggs Benedict. My husband ordered brioche French toast with glazed fruit on top. It was astonishing what was presented. My eggs Bennies ws perfect. It was served with a small amount of salad on top of an ample amount of the roast beef. The hollandaise sauce over it was spot on! I requested the tater tots which were hot and crispy. I also ordered a cappuccino which arrived hot (not luke) and it was delicious. We will certainly return to try other items off the menu. Although my Benedict was a wonderful and unexpected surprise. It will be difficult to order anything else. They are literally right door to Bristol Farms. Near Yorba Linda and Imperial Highway in Old Town Yorba Linda.

Everything was very flavorful and DELISH!! Huevos rancheros were smaller portion than expected but still tasty….The beef was medium rare (so inform them if you want it more cooked). The brioche French Toast was GIGANTIC!! The mango purée and berries made it even more delish!! No need for syrup. The kimchi rice were AMAZING!! The hot matcha latte was quite small. Was expecting a larger glass. They have indoor and outdoor seating! Will go back again.

Overall medium-good food but the service was iffy and we were served on paper plates… for around $15/$20 per person? Seems odd but if you’re just looking for a decent breakfast spot, this might be what you’re looking for.

Hi, we live in the area and I bring my two daughters all the time. They love it and my oldest daughter loves the Matcha cloud.

This place is legit!! Owned by Koreans but love the ambiance and the vibes. Feels Newport Beach status. They have a little fusion of everything. Italian, Korean, American with delicious drinks and even bing so! We got the carbonara, bulgogi burrito, and the waffle. Waffle and the matcha drink were good but the pasta was a little bland. The bingso was ok. The burrito was good but not amazing. Overall good place to try

I am changing my review as I had a bad experience with the restaurant. Chicken in the middle of Panini was cold. They ended up re-heating the sandwich and apologized, but it still left a bad taste in my mouth.

I will say the food is decent, when they actually get your order right, definitely don't get it to go. The first experience I ordered over the phone to-go they completely forgot one of my meals. Still, I gave it a second try, I went in physically and ordered to-go, checked to make sure everything was there before leaving, all looked fine until I got home, I ordered the braised beef Benedict and they forgot to add the egg! I ended up just making my own egg and adding it to the meal. Not sure I'll be back but if I do I'll be eating there.

I've always wanted to come to this place since I moved to this area. I love how the menu provides classic American brunch options as well as Korean fusion options. Came in on a Sunday morning and it wasn't busy when I arrived. Ordered from the kiosk by ourselves and included a good amount of tip in the payment. We sat outdoors at the patio. Food came pretty fast and everything tasted nice. We ordered a traditional American brunch with croissant waffle, a bulgogi burrito, a side fruit cup, two drinks. Everything seems nice but we didn't receive any kind of service. When a staff came and brought food to another table in the patio, we kindly stopped her and asked for more napkins. She gave us a cold and upset stare and told us napkins were at the front of the store indoors. We were so confused by her attitude and honestly to one point I almost wanted to call the manager and get my tips back. That said, I'm not sure what made the staff so upset that morning. However, this kind of service attitude is unacceptable, unless the store actually told us everything is self serve style except that they'll make the food and bring it to the table for us. I still want to go back to this place to try other things on the menu. But I don't think I'll want to add tips in my payment next time.

I really love the food here and have been multiple times but most recently ordered through Postmates and was so disappointed. Paid nearly 20$ for a simple pesto chicken sandwich and get enough chicken for a 2 year old on a diet. Also ordered a $7 side of potatoes that came so soggy it was almost like eating mashed potatoes. Would have been great to have some better packaging for fries, potatoes, etc. Hope quality and quantity can be re-emphasized!

This has always been my wife’s favorite brunch spot, and we usually love the food here. However, something seemed a bit off today — the fried rice, which is usually my favorite, was much saltier than normal. Our server was very kind and replaced it right away, but the second one was still quite salty, so I think the issue might have come from the kitchen. I hope the kitchen manager can take a look and adjust the seasoning, because the food here is usually excellent. I’ll definitely come back again, but I hope the next visit will be back to the delicious quality we’re used to.

I have been to many different kerean restaurant. This is the only one make my stomach hurt. The only thing taste good is the shin noodle. The salad is not fresh. The spaghetti is tasteless and soggy. The omelette was terrible, very unprofessional. The food taste like made by some house wife who is not good at cooking.
