Utopia European Caffe - Tustin, California

C’était mignon, mais il y avait un croissant écrasé derrière la fenêtre dans la boulangerie.

I love the vibe of this place. The wait staff is wonderful. It is in a great location with ample parking.

However, I wish that they would put more care into the food. I can see that the cantaloupes they use was cut the night before and left in the fridge and it has a different look when it is freshly cut. And while I have not tried the other pastries, the croissant I had tasted like it was from Costco.

When I go to an European style Café, I expect fantastic pastries with lots of taste of butter and freshness. Croissant has failed this taste. I have tried the Baklava and it is not bad.

The eggs are cooked OK. I hope that they will realize that seed oils are bad and they should advertise that they do not use seed oils in their cooking.

They do not have heavy cream. Which makes me question what ingredients they use in their cooking. Heavy cream is quintessential for European cooking. And the butter they use did not taste like it was of a high quality.

Utopia European Cafe is a charming spot nestled in the District Plaza, boasting beautiful decor that sets a warm and inviting tone. I ordered the Mediterranean Breakfast, Turkish Coffee, and Orange Juice. The meal was delightful, with a delicious and unique selection of cheeses that truly stood out.

However, I wish there had been a bit more sujuk, as the portion felt a little light for the price. Another downside was the extra charge for an additional piece of bread, which seemed unnecessary given the nature of the dish.

Overall, Utopia is a lovely cafe with a distinct European touch, but small tweaks in portion sizes and pricing policies could make the experience even better.

Utopia Cafe has captured my attention for many years. Whenever I visited the district, I was drawn to its beautiful facade, yet somehow, I never ventured inside. Today, we decided to try a new breakfast spot and finally came here. The interior exceeded my expectations, transporting me to a Parisian cafe, only more spacious. Every corner was beautifully designed, with impeccable attention to detail.

We placed our order at the counter, received a number, and chose to sit outside. We ordered both American and French breakfasts, along with cappuccinos. We swapped the pancakes with the toast . Everything was halal, including the Haribo jellies, marshmallows, and delicious Turkish treats displayed at the counter. The kids will undoubtedly have a blast here.

Our breakfast was fantastic, with generous portions and everything on the plate tasting delicious. The cappuccino was excellent as well. The servers were courteous and friendly. I wanted to try the pastries but was too full, so I’ll save them for next time. I will definitely be visiting again.

Very nice indoor outdoor cafe. Long list of breakfast options and all sorts of omelette and egg platters. Same thing with French toast, pancakes, sandwiches and lots of healthy options and salads. Loved the presentation of their utopia latte, i personally ordered cappuccino but no fat free milk available. Fast service. Their plates are very generous with lots of sides, exceptional taste of potato wedges. Nice spice ! This place has a turkish ambience ie serving tasty, flooring, food etc.. menu has arabic food, Mediterranean, english, french, Turkish etc... of you fancy a good breakfast and perfect cup of coffee give this place a try, it is located in an upscale vibrant shopping district with lots of restaurants around and lots of parking spaces as well.

It has a very london vibe that has an indoor and out door seating

Very quick with the service. Variety of breakfast platters. A great place to sit and study, read or just meet with a friend. Perfect for a morning date. They service is attentive and ask if your doing OK or need plates removed.

They have water self-serve inside and outside nice and cold.
Also they have treats that you would find in London that are at the register on display for a great treat

UPD. I came back and tries breakfast there and it was good. So I am adding one star. But I still do not understand the idea - it is written "European" but a lot of Turkish stuff is inside like Turkish sweets and coffee. Some people wrote here in their reviews that this place is "halal" but they serve bacon...
Friendly service but the food is simply not tasty. I took my tuna salad with me but could not finish it at home - too vinegary and no taste balance.So it went to the trash. Pasta was just ok. Idk why they call it European - it's has nothing common with European food.

I have been here so many times, and I pray every single time I come here that it will get better than the last time I came. I ordered the Sajouk Panini and it was absolutely horrendous. It tasted like airplane food that they warmed up in the microwave, the meat tasted stale, the bread was so soggy and tasteless. Having eight at some of Orange County’s best brunch, places and restaurants, I highly suggest and recommend that you don’t come here to waste your money. I also ordered French toast, which was absolutely disgusting, no flavor, no effort put into the food. The presentation was good, the food is horrible. Don’t get me started on the service. The two Mexican ladies in the front at the cash register or extremely disrespectful, I politely asked to change my order because it was not good, and they completely refused to, even though I hadn’t even taken a bite, it just didn’t even look appetizing. They make the food really fast, it takes them less than two minutes to make a sandwich, it is not good. I am usually never this picky or ever leave reviews for places, but this place really set me the wrong way.
