About Us - Nightingale, O.C.

“It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”

It’s always been our dream to create a community, to cultivate an environment that was inviting, comfortable, and with a sense of home - all centered around creative, whimsical, and delicious food.

Second generation from a hard-working immigrant family, a woman-owned business, born at a time when we all needed safety, comfort, friendship, support, and a sense of normalcy.

It was a challenge, but here we are - Nightingale.

That dream is now a reality and we’re overjoyed to be able to invite our local and extended community family to enjoy it with us!

The no-longer-hidden-gem of the OC, Nightingale offers everything from classic breakfast staples to creative reimaginings like our Tres Leches Hot Cakes and Fruity Pebbles French Toast that pair perfectly with a mimosa or the incredible non-alcoholic options including a wide selection of tea, specialty coffee drinks, and boba.

Our aim was to create a place where everyone felt welcomed and had their personal favorites. From the parents to the itty bitties, or the cool brunch enthusiasts, there’s something for everyone!

We also love to partner with the local community and other small businesses for pop-ups, private events, and special occasions. We embarked on this business journey to build a family legacy, but we also believe that you can’t em-pire if you don’t em-power those around you.

So, come for the food, feel taken care of by our friendly service, and stay because…why would you want to go anywhere else?
