Bad coffee was our favorite local coffee shop. All the drinks and ingredients were high quality and staff was always friendly. We will be SO SAD to see them go.

Fast freindly no frills coffee shop. Minimal choices when you order your beverage. Keeping it simple is the way it rolls here.

Was pleasantly surprised with this place! We LOVED our coffees (the butterscotch latte is insanely good), and we are usually pretty picky after trying out so many of the new cafes around OC.Still need to try their pastries which honestly wasn't much to choose from at all. However, this is also one of the only cafes that offers you tonic water with your espresso I've noticed! Super cute inside and cute merch as well! Will def be back! The staff is also super sweet :)

I found this spot on Yelp and decided to give it a shot. The place is super cute and the staff is very friendly. I ordered a regular oat milk latte extra hot and the banana bread warmed up. The latte wasn't bad, it was just lukewarm which I just don't like. And the banana bread was okay, but even after being warmed up it was cold in parts. Like the warmth wasn't evenly distributed. Idk if it's a problem with their oven or if they just didn't leave it long enough.

- Lavender LatteDrink: 4/5 -- lavender flavor is a bit too strong. Espresso is great and latte art is perfect. Ambiance: 5/5 -- friendly and welcomingCustomer Service: 5/5 - guy cashier recommended good choice of coffee and made the perfect cup of latte art. Friendly and welcoming vibe. Multiple people come here to study on Sunday AM.

This place is one of my fave cafes! Friendly staff, good coffee and enough space if you like to sit and work. The pastry selection could be a bit better.

BAD COFFEE serves AMAZING COFFEE.Their CORTADO is strong and creamy, has a great caffeine kick, but not a burnt aftertaste.Their CHAI WITH OAT MILK was also very good.The ICED LATTE is appropriately strong.They use BAD WOLF coffee beans and I'm getting Doctor Who vibes.They are located in a shopping center with their own free parking lot.The shop is cute, clean and has enough indoor and outdoor seating spaces.The workers are friendly and the vibe is relaxing.

They say they are open until 7pm and they were closed at 3pm. They should change online because people coming and it's closed

Don't let the name of this place fool you. Coffee is delicious here. Most times when I have a need for coffee or feeling lazy to make a glass myself at home and want to treat myself, this is the place I'm willing to drive to. Customer service is great here, and it's a good place to study as well. There was one time we arrived at 6:54 PM and the Cafe was closing at 7 PM and three other guests also came in and there was only one staff member working the coffee machine. He did not kick anyone out and stayed a few minutes after 7 to serve all the customers that came in. I can't rave anymore about this place. They also have crazy straws as well which is pretty interesting for a coffee place. Definitely try their coffee.

Bad Coffee is great. Every time I come in I am kindly greeted and my coffee is made correctly and in a timely manner. Everyone who works here is very professional and friendly. This shop cares about dialing in their coffee. It is always clean and the music is tasteful. Never too loud. Excellence is a habit, not an act. Hats off!
