Definately not as great as it used to be. Less quality Ingredients; stale bread way too much mayonnaise and avocado all mushed up and brown, lettuce brown. Won’t be going back used to be a favorite place

I love trying to find new coffee shops all the time, and a coffee shop will especially get my attention when I see that they own a La Marzocco machine. Unfortunately for this business, I was really disappointed in how my latte came out. I always order a plain latte (just milk and espresso) so I can decipher how the beans taste and how well the barista operates the machine. The shot that was pulled was over-extracted, meaning it had a burnt bitter taste to the beans. Another is that the pull was very watery, so the nice beautiful brown color you normally should get in a latte was not true for this cup. It looked almost like I had ordered an americano with a splash of cream, it wasn't appealing. Lastly, the oatmilk that was used wasn't a great brand either. Normally it is easy to tell the brand of oatmilk that is used based off of the texture and the creaminess of the drink. So this cup had a bit of a grainy texture to it, with some of that grains falling to the bottom of the cup. In all, I wouldn't recommened coming back if you're only coming for a coffee. The staff is super friendly and the environment was very welcoming. So, I give this place 3 stars because I didn't try their food, only their coffee.

Lunch on Monday was a total win! The food was delicious and healthy, and they had a huge selection of smoothies and juices. Even though it was lunchtime, our food came out super fast, and the staff were really friendly and helpful. If you're in the area and looking for a healthy bite, you should definitely stop by—it's worth it!

This spot is a bit of a hidden gem, tucked away in an apartment complex, but it’s definitely worth seeking out. It has a cozy, intimate vibe, almost like a little community restaurant. Despite its smaller size, there’s plenty of seating both inside and outside, making it a great place to grab a quick sandwich, relax, and catch up with friends or just get something to go.
They offer daily specials, with a separate menu for those, which I think is a nice touch. I was impressed by their gluten-free bread option, which held up well and didn’t get dry or fall apart—always a concern with gluten-free options. The bread still had great flavor, and the sandwich was packed with all the right ingredients: plenty of meat, fresh lettuce, tomato, and just the right amount of mayo and mustard, so the bread stayed intact and didn’t get soggy.
The customer service was outstanding as well. I was warmly greeted when I walked in, and the staff gave me great recommendations for what to try. As for gluten-free options, I’m not sure if the facility is entirely Celiac-safe due to potential cross-contamination, but it’s definitely a good choice for those following a gluten-free diet. They also offer some solid vegetarian options, which is a nice bonus.
While the sandwiches are on the pricier side, the portion sizes are generous, and the quality is there. My sandwich was big, and it came with a side of chips. Everything was delicious and flavorful, and I can see myself coming back to try other sandwiches from their menu. The smoothies were also fantastic, adding another reason to return. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d definitely come back to explore more of what they have to offer.

Beautiful and cozy cafe! The service 100% perfect!
It's not great. I was served the granola apple in a recycled plastic tray. The yogurt was served separately in a regular grocery-store cup, which was quite emberassing. The cappuccino was overly dark and acidic.

Worked across the street and frequented this place often, and still make a stop anytime I'm in Irvine. Fresh food, reasonable prices, amazing staff. Highly recommend.
