The entrance of this café is a bit tricky to find, so I’ve decided to share a photo to help others find it. The food and drinks here are both healthy and delicious, and the owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming. We absolutely love the atmosphere and the lifestyle vibes of this place. Wishing them all the best and continued success!

Cafe Irvine is wonderful and very reliable for last minute pickups! I needed a pastry and fruit tray quickly put together for a meeting and Cafe Irvine came through with excellent customer service and a delicious spread of food. Will definitely be back.

This little cafe is very convenient when you want to grab a quick breakfast burrito or lunch. They have dairy specials for lunch. There's area for indoor or outdoor with plenty of seating. The food is quite good.

Their pesto chicken sandwich is the best I’ve ever had! A must try. I loved their chicken soup too, flavorful with fresh ingredients. Will definitely try again!

The breakfast burrito was out of this world. They went over and above to add and customize my order and then I had a chocolate chip cookie as a secondary thought and it has changed my life. Holy cow!

I had to write a review because Café Irvine absolutely exceeded my expectations. I ordered the breakfast burrito with bacon, and it was huge — packed, flavorful, and they give both green and red salsa, which I appreciate since I always run out elsewhere. The portion was so generous I only ate half and saved the rest.
I also got the iced Spanish latte, and it was perfect: strong coffee flavor, not overly sweet, with a subtle cinnamon finish. Easily one of my new favorite coffee spots in the area.
The café offers healthier options, and the entire deli is kosher and halal, which is impressive for a place this size. The menu rotates every few months, so there’s always something new to try.
Location-wise, it’s inside the 19000 MacArthur “pancake” building with free parking validation, which is a huge perk in this area. UCI students and building employees get 20% off.
What really makes it special is how passionate the owner is — not from the restaurant industry originally, but genuinely invested in serving good, wholesome food. Minority-owned, community-oriented, and it shows.
Whether you’re working nearby, staying in a hotel close by, or just passing through the Irvine/Newport area, this spot is absolutely worth checking out. I’ll definitely be back — and I’ll be using them for catering soon too.

Great little spot! The pesto chicken sandwich is nut free and delicious and the customer service is 10 out of 10. Really appreciated the friendly atmosphere.
Solid place for a good sandwich. A little hard to find but a gem nonetheless

It’s very homey ; the soup was so good. Dubai chocolate was sooo good I’m gonna dream about it all day. The owners are so down to earth and car about the food taste that their customers experience. I will be here often.
