Crema's Take
“Plums Cafe nails the California brunch formula with genuinely generous portions—think giant cinnamon rolls and bacon-loaded BLTs that justify the price for most visitors, though recent diners warn the costs have climbed steeply. The patio seating and family-friendly vibe make it an easy spot to linger with friends, though service can be a bit uneven and the crowd sometimes gets ahead of the kitchen.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

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…
