Amazing service - baristas always offer great recommendations. They often have seasonal drinks on rotation so I typically get a different iced latte every time I'm here. Plenty of tables to sit down and work or read. Drinks never disappoint!

The food is really great and the coffee always hits the spot. The service is really good where everyone is friendly and avocado toast is superb. I would come again for the lively ambiance and sweet community.

One of my go-to cafes for all the right reasons ~ I've been going here for years & they never disappoint. The staff are always friendly & welcoming. The interior and vibes are immaculate. Parking has never been an issue (more parking in the back). So much indoor seating - I've never struggled with getting a seat or table (but I also haven't come by on a weekend). I especially love how they change out their menus every season and add new drinks to try. I've tried most of their stuff and you can't really go wrong with anything. My all time favorites are the London Fog, Orange Dreamsicle, & Peaches n' Cream. As for food, I like their croissants and breakfast burrito. I recently tried their Strawberry Fields Matcha from their spring menu & I LOVEEEE! You can taste the strawberry, rose, and matcha all at the same time! I also love a good cream top hehe. I typically don't like floral drinks but the rose had a nice taste to it & was not overpowering/strong. It was mixed very well with the other flavors :-) Their Peacha is also pretty good and reminds me of the London Fog. I didn't take great photos this day but I promise it's worth a try & you'll definitely end up coming back. Most of all, drinks are so reasonably priced ~ only $5-6 for a regular size compared to many other cafes.

Ordered the hot toffee nut latte, did not taste different from a regular latte. Was disappointed and wouldn’t recommend that drink personally

Solid menu & space with wifi - everything you'd need for a few hours of work. I was initially looking for a breakfast burrito while staying at a hotel down the street. Coffee + wifi would have just been a bonus! Completely missed the fact that it's connected to a church but the shop's entrance is separate. There's a connecting room with more tables that leads to (what I'm assuming are) staff offices. The burrito was solid! Two sauces came with it - pass on the salsa but the green sauce was delicious. Standard latte. There's a solid stream of people in the morning with both to-go orders and others staying around. The music is a little loud but overall, would come back for the burrito.

Lion & Lamb is by far the best coffee shop in Orange County!! The establishment is connected to a church, hence the name, Lion & Lamb! I love it. Workers are all young and energetic. Their Matcha and Chai are always super high quality and made by the order. This is a great spot to study or just get coffee with friends. There's lots of indoor seating, connected to the church's children's center, and wifi is also available for customers to use. If you're looking for the best coffee or matcha in OC, Lion and Lamb is where to go!!

Coffee and snacks very delicious. Parking is not so great, but worth driving around a few times.

I am now a regular here. It’s my favorite coffee shop. Excellent quality coffee and yummy specialty drinks. Salted toffee latte is delicious but it’s fun trying their seasonal drinks too. They have great pastries, burritos, quiche, and avocado toast. Tons of seating yet still a cozy ambiance. Best to park along the street usually and then walk over!
GET THE BREAKFAST BURRITO! My boyfriend and I stopped by here early in the morning before our snowboarding trip to Big Bear, and the cookie butter latte and the breakfast burrito were AMAZING. Im not usually a breakfast burrito kinda person but since we needed some food in us, we decided to try the breakfast burritos since they looked so good in the pictures. Let me tell you that the burrito tastes even better than it looks. The inside is really cute with a plant shop and there's some seating in a big open space. The cashier was also very nice. Definitely stop by if you're in the area and you're in the mood for coffee and breakfast!

Delicious coffee and friendly staff! Love all the seasonal drink specials too! I especially love that the proceeds of their sales go to important causes like clean water and more meals to those in need.
One of the best iced lattes I've had in Orange County! Super friendly service and such a great atmosphere as well, with students and people working and hanging out. Highly recommend!

Lion and Lamb is tucked away in a scattering of office complexes, so it's definitely not a place you can just stumble upon. However, the building it's situated in has plenty of seating and surrounding parking. The cafe connects to a big open space that's connected to a church. I had no trouble finding seating for 2 at 2:30pm on Tuesday, but I couldn't really find that many available outlets. There's also free wifi. Onto the drinks. The spring menu looks really promising! However, I got the peaches n cream upon the cashier's recommendation ($7 for large), and was surprised by how sweet it was. Not sure if you can adjust the sweetness (I should've asked), but unfortunately I was done after a few sips. I was expecting a more tea-y flavor, but the peach flavoring tasted super artificial. I didn't want to give up yet so I tried other drinks before I left. I ordered the thai tea which was good, but the salted toffee latte redeemed my visit! I didn't need to adjust anything at all, and the salted flavor was a perfect balance against my coffee. Maybe I should've asked the cashiers what they're known for, but I probably will focus more on trying their coffee drinks instead of their teas. 3.5 stars

Lion and lamb is a hidden coffee shop right off the freeway. I have been here several times and the service has been solid. My favorite is the chocolate strawberry latte, toffee latte and cookie butter latte. If you are coming here for matcha, I kindly reconsider. The matcha was a little too milky for my liking, maybe it was made on a bad day. Overall, coffee and service is great. There are lots of seating available inside and it is pretty spacious.

Lion & Lamb is an awesome community-based coffee shop connected to a local church. There is a parking lot that is for the church and the coffee shop. Once you walk in, you'll see the interesting layout they have here. It's very industrial and modern with a good amount of seating options. As for their drinks, they have a good selection of coffees and lattes. I got the white chocolate matcha drink since I was feeling some matcha. The staff here are very friendly and welcoming. Overall, this is a nice spot to get some work done, grab a drink and go, or meet up with friends. I enjoy the ambiance they have and appreciate their connection to the local community.

I like this place a lot! The staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful. The overall atmosphere is nice and they have WiFi that works most of the time. I tried their gluten free banana bread and it was DELICIOUS! They have a variety of swag you can buy as well as bottled drinks on top of the freshly made coffee.
