Orange County closed out 2017 with yet another round of closures impacting older brands such as Pick Up Stix and Mimi’s Cafe.

Here’s the rundown:

Pick Up Stix

Laguna Hills-based Pick Up Stix, one of the first fast-casual Asian concepts in Southern California, continues to downsize.

The company has closed at least four locations, according to its website. Locations in Irvine, Mission Viejo, Carlsbad (La Costa) and Temecula are listed as permanently closed. Attempts to reach the company this week have been unsuccessful.

Pick Up Stix, founded in 1989 in Rancho Santa Margarita, has about 65 locations stretching from Ventura to San Diego. In 2006, Pick Up Stix operated 124 locations.

Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

One coffee shop replaces another at The Market Place. Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf recently closed on the Irvine side of the shopping center. The Irvine Co. is replacing the national chain with a local brand: BLKdot Coffee.

The cafe, which first opened at the Google Center in Irvine in 2015, sells niche products including VTM coffee (a slow drip Vietnamese-style coffee), sea salt coffee and Thai tea latte.

The cafes also serve food including a chicken banh mi sandwiches, croissants, bagels, muffins and scones. The cafe is expected to open in spring 2018. BLK is in expansion mode, opening a location in November in Laguna Beach.

Another BLK is slated to open late 2018 at the Irvine Spectrum Center.

Mighty Kitchen

After operating for more than a year, Mighty Kitchen has closed in Los Alamitos.

The new concept, which featured a menu of mini sandwiches and hot dogs, replaced the former SPIN Pizza in summer 2016. Both concepts were run by Hofman Hospitality Group, a Signal Hill restaurant company which also owns Hof’s Hut and Lucille’s Smokehouse BBQ.

The company announced the Dec. 23 closure on its Facebook page.

“This restaurant was inspired by the desire to serve tasty comfort food to a community we have known for decades,” Brad Hofman, president of Hofman Hospitality Group, said in a statement. “​We appreciate the guests who visited us and it has been our pleasure to serve them.”

In other Hofman group news, the company said it is relocating its Hof’s Hut in Los Alamitos to a closed Marie Calendar’s space at the Shops at Rossmoor, about two miles south of the current location. The move will not happen until 2019.

Mimi’s Cafe

Mimi’s Cafe closed Dec. 26 in Laguna Niguel.

Crab Cooker, a Newport Beach institution, must be torn down after construction damage from luxury development “We routinely evaluate our restaurants and occasionally have to make the difficult decision to close a location for the health of the brand overall,” the company told the Register in a statement. “We hope our loyal guests will visit us at any of our 85+ locations, including at the nearby Lake Forest location.”

The French-themed chain was founded in Orange County in 1978. It is now owned Dallas-based LeDuff America.

When LeDuff America bought Mimi’s Cafe from Bob Evans Farms nearly five years ago, Mimi’s Cafe operated 145 restaurants. LeDuff also closed a Mimi’s Cafe in Little Rock, Arkansas in the fourth quarter. Mimi’s Cafe has gone through multiple menu revamps under its last two owners. The most recent change was the addition of all-day breakfast.
