Nikki's Kitchen — Restaurant in Yorba Linda

My mom and I came here last week with my daughter for the first time. We loved it! My mom and I both got the the chicken salad croissant, it was delicious and piled high with salad. It made us think of a chicken salad we used to get when we would visit my grandparents in Arizona years ago. This Tuesday, we decided to go back. We ordered 3 chicken salad croissant sandwiches to go (for my mom, my husband, and myself) and a turkey and cheese for my little one. We were so disappointed to see that there was hardly any chicken salad in the sandwiches. I wish I had taken a picture, it looked like someone scooped a small spoonful on the bread and called it done. We put this order in around 12pm. If the restaurant didn’t have enough chicken salad to make 3 decent sandwiches, the servers could have said something and we would have ordered something else. My mom tried to call to speak to a manager, she called Tuesday and Wednesday and was unsuccessful both times and never received a call back. I tried to reach out through Facebook and reached no one. I’m really disappointed, I wanted to like this place because it’s adorable and has a great atmosphere but this really put me me off and I don’t believe I’ll...

This was my first time here and it could’ve been a five star rating. I went with a friend and neither of us had been there. Parking was easy, the outside had a nice curb appeal. We opened the door and it was busy. We waited a short time by what looked like a hostess stand. No signs or directions to sit ourselves, but we eventually did. We sat for about 10 minutes and nobody came even though we saw many servers going around the restaurant. We were meeting a friend there, so didn’t mind waiting. When our friend got there he told us we have to go to the counter to order- I wish there had been some notification regarding how they operated here! All that said, it was a nice experience. The food came out fairly quickly, the portions were large and very reasonably priced. Fresh avocado on the breakfast bowl and a generous portion of bacon made up for the rough start. The food was delicious!The service changed a lot after we had our food with people coming by to check on us and offer to bring more tea or coffee. It is a comfortable casual setting. I would definitely recommend this place just be aware of how to order your food. Plus we didn’t even try any of the baked goods which...

2nd visit, lunch w a mama friend 3.24.23

Came during noon and it was a packed house.

You go order at the register and pay ahead of time. Than go find a table sitting. There’s a courtyard outside. Can take the food out for outdoor dining.

The Spring/Easter decoration is fully decorated around the restaurant. Loving the vibe along w the farmhouse decor. It’s a really cute chic restaurant. Highly recommended. Makes you feel really welcoming.

They offer a lunch menu. Where you’re able to enjoy half a sandwich & soup or half a salad & sandwich. Love that they offer this.

What we ordered:

~ Turkey Bacon Club sandwich. Highly recommended. It’s a good simple sandwich. Love the bacon & avocado. Along w the bread it’s served in. Really good. ~ Chicken Tortilla Soup is good. Lots varieties of different beans and tortilla strips topped.

They offer pastries, muffins, croissants, cookies, desserts parties like lemon bars for example.

Service is great and we received the food in a timely manner.

They close at 2 pm and...
