50 Best Coffee Shops in Irvine

“My new favorite cafe!! The sitting and ambiance is absolutely stunning, relaxing, and chill. Lots of natural light and open seating with really comfy couches and benches. The coffee is BOMB. Super delicious- I reccomend the Spanish Latte, its my favorite. The baristas and staff are super polite and patient, and are very kind as well. I loveeee Cassel Earth❤️❤️“

“excellent boston crème and hojicha donut. best in OC and maybe in all of California. Every time I stop by this plaza I will make sure to stop by and support this locally owned business. The cashier was a sweet lady who needs our support!!!“

“ordered the corn matcha latte, earl grey matcha latte, and double matcha lattes. the matcha flavor was good! nothing revolutionary, though. I do wish that we had gotten each with less sweetener instead of regular, because all were on the pretty sweet side. the corn matcha lacked strength on the corn, as it was just the corn foam. the corn flavor and scent were a bit weak and it ended up tasting more like a regular matcha latte.“

“Had a quick pho at Saiga during lunch and ended up sharing a table with a stranger, definitely a rushed experience as I had to move quickly for the next person’s turn. Personally, I don’t think I’ll be back, as the pho didn’t quite justify the price for me. That said, their business model is nice and efficient, catering well to the busy lunch crowd. A cool concept, but not my go-to for pho in OC.“

“This coffee is amazing. I live in Kentucky and the coffee i received was well packaged and very very fresh and packaged air tight. way better than the big store chain. I was on a search to find a very low caffeine coffee that tastes o.k. and I found it! It tastes wonderful.“

“Kit Coffee in Irvine is a great spot with a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are cool, friendly, and make the experience even more enjoyable.

The coffee tastes great, and the overall vibe makes it a perfect place to relax, catch up with friends, or just enjoy a good cup of coffee.

Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in the Irvine area!“

“the coffee is a good price“

“Very Good Donuts!! Fresh Made“

“This place was such a vibe! I really love coffee, and you can tell they genuinely love coffee here too. They had a variety of beans to choose from and even let me pick which one I wanted for my drink. The cashier was super nice and recommended her favorite drink, so I went with it and it was extraordinary. The cafe was packed with probably 40+ people, but I still got my coffee within minutes. I’m only visiting, but if I lived here, I could easily see myself coming several times a week. Great coffee, great atmosphere, and an awesome experience!“

“Yummy ! Every time we’ve been there it’s been really great. Good sandwiches and yummy. Coffee drinks“

“Good coffee and a cozy spot to relax or get some work done. The atmosphere was welcoming, and my drink was made well. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the service could have been a little quicker. Overall, a solid coffee shop and I’d be happy to come back.“

“Great drinks , friendly staff, wonderful vibe and super cute layout.“

“Just wanted to show my appreciation to the staff at CUP! I frequent here pretty often when I have time in between my classes and they’re always so sweet. Plus they make the best drinks! Special shoutout to Marionette and Tiffany for handling a difficult customer as well. These ladies showed kindness and rationality when someone is being aggressive, and that is a great strength. I will always come back here!“

“Junior offered great customer service and he made sure we were satisfied with our drinks since he mentioned the seasonal drinks were popular. He also suggested to try the sliced cakes and I said I’d definitely be back to try his other suggestions. I will definitely return with some friends.“

“Omomo Matcha Taste so good“

“Thet so yummy boba and chesse foam“

“the coffee is a good price“

“Nice coffee shop and place to relax and have breakfast and lunch. friendly and helpful staff. Besides delicious bakery items they also have gf bakery options. Love the coffee too“

“Omg! Their breakfast burrito is amazing. Came to kaiser for a doc app and was looking for donuts. Well, I now found my new breakfast burrito place. First bite melted in my mouth. The eggs are fluffy and have a great flavor. The tortilla is soft. Im not one for cheese on my food. But the cheese they use is also soft and melts right into the burrito. The salsa is a must to add onto before a bit. My new spot when I’m in the area 😍“

“Pretty cool place but it’s pretty noisy .. the offices are great but walls are made from tissue paper .. common area is spot on but you need to be early for a good spot .. ample free parking spaces .. bikes for short commutes to your favorite restaurants .. great place for studying or intensive reading with your headphones of course“

“They have the best boba drinks! If you're hungry, they have chicken, twisted potatoes, and churros too.“

“Beautiful cafe to work at:)“

“Regardless of how many new boba places will open up, TP Tea will always have a soft spot in my heart. My first TP Tea experience happened at their Cupertino storefront and I remember how crazy and wild the line was for that grand opening. It’s crazy to think there’s over 5 locations for the Bay Area now. Woohoo!! Now, onto the drinks! I am a HUUUUGE fan of their wintermelon Tieguanyin tea. I know, it’s a simple drink that’s really hard to mess up, but for some reason, the way it’s brewed at TP Tea reigns supreme in my eyes. I also like the touch of Tieguanyin tea. Fun fact: I never knew or heard of Tieguanyin until coming across TP Tea! If you like a blend of aromatic tea notes with a hint of sweetness from wintermelon, I cannot recommend this drink enough. However, if you’re in the mood for a milk tea, I highly recommend the strawberry milk tea! It has a nice blend of milk and fragrant tea, with the acidity and sweetness of REAL strawberries. And if you really wanted to make any drink a winner, you’re going to want to add QQ noodles in your drink! I don’t know what makes it so good, but it’s definitely chewy and fun to have in your drink. I also find it a unique boba topping compared to the other boba shops in town. Got myself a wintermelon Tieguanyin tea and Sunshine ice tea for my BOGO drink! #TPTeaBayArea #TPTEA“

“Amazing experience with KRISP Fresh Living! Everything was fresh, high-quality, and beautifully presented. Great service and attention to detail. Highly recommend!
I looooove banana latte😍😍😍I wish you have also hot version of banana latte too!“

“Janice, the owner, is AMAZING!!!!!! Drinks, bowls, and grab and go options are DELICIOUS. 5 stars, all the way 👍🏻🥰🫶🏻💖💖💖💖💖☕️🫖🍵“

“It’s really relaxing 😌 and enjoy my coffee ☕️ that Starbucks and also very good service 🙏🙏❤️“

“We had a darling ice cream and it was nice. My kid really wanted strawberry ice cream. I didn’t notice that they had a strawberry flavor until after I received our order. One of the staff members noticed that my son was hoping for strawberry(even though we didn’t talked in English!!) and kindly offered to add strawberry sauce on top.

My son was so happy and satisfied! I really appreciate how kind and thoughtful the staff were. There were two staff members working, and both of them were incredibly nice and helpful.“

“Delicious 😋 Matcha latte Boba! Everything is made fresh and they even have appetizers.“

“best maple bars anywhere! try the one with bacon😋“

“🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“Party of 2 went for lunch on a Monday in November. The cafe is spacious and has free WiFi, so quite a few people were working on their laptops from this place. You order at the counter and pay first, then they bring the food to you. They also have outdoor seating which was pretty pleasant. There's a pool table and some large screens with sports running on them. I had the kale caesar wrap with grilled chicken. The sandwiches come with a complimentary side for which I picked the side salad. The food was delicious and good quantity too. The restroom is clean, but a bit tucked into the building, so you have to ask the staff for directions. Total including tips and taxes came to just under 20 bucks.“

“Wow incredibly delicious, the only specialty Tea shoppe around! Matcha, Boba, tea, coffee, slushies! Its incredibly delicious with such interesting & unique flavors! I was blown away. I got the buckwheat milk tea & guava slushy! Both in their own respects were so delicious!! Love love love! My new favorite in Irvine. 😋😍 The owner was so sweet btw, so say hello and enjoy his cafe! A lovely place to hang and enjoy. ❤✨ 🍵“

“Great group of barristas. Take excellent care of their customers.“

“Milk varieties and pricing !😋😋😋“

“Perfect spot to grab a drink and read a book or get some work done! We got an iced matcha with almond milk, with super high quality matcha and good flavor, and a hot chocolate with whipped cream, and both were absolutely delicious ✨️ Thank you to the baristas that made our drinks!!“

“The iced chai, churro latte (hot or cold) and their bagels are to die for. I live out of state but cannot wait to go back when I’m in So Cal! Employees are so nice too - seems as though they are very happy working there:)“

“I love this place. There's truely not another store like it. The place is incredibly clean and staff is the friendliest in the mall. Ill make sure I stop by more often and encourage others to do the same 😊

Most important. The food is great“

“Whenever I visit Orange County, I stop by at Annies Table to pickup Korean food back to Arizona. Wonderful Korean Food. I wish I have a place like this back home in Arizona. I have tried a handful dishes recommended by the owner chef, Annie, and they were all really good!!!

I recommend this place for a quick bite or togo for any Korean or fusion Korean food in your mind.“

“Love Peets much more than Starbucks“

“The cookies are so fabulous! Everyone that works there remembers me and they always greet me with a smile and a warm hello.“

“Oh my God, the Matcha berry cookies are the most delicious cookies I’ve ever had in my life unfortunately they’re only available this August. I really hope that they keep it all year around because it is genuinely the best cookie I’ve ever had in my life. The cookie is perfectly moist on the inside while having like a nice crust on the outside. It has a perfect level of a Matcha flavor and the tart freeze dried berries inside complement the sweetness of the cookies and the gooey chocolate chips that they have in there are so good like the flavors are absolutely perfect and it just melts in your mouth. You don’t even need to warm up the cookie for it to be so delicious like it’s so moist and so genuinely good. I’ve been here before and I love their banana pudding. I’ve also tried their chocolate cookies and also so good but I just prefer the Matcha and the berry because it aligns with my pallet more. I definitely think that they should do more fruity or citrus flavors for example like a just a normal cookie base with white chocolate and berries like a strawberry shortcake flavor cookie I feel like would be so good. Also, every time that I’ve come into this place, that service has always been so good. The receptionist are so friendly and warm. They provide complementary water at the store and the decorations of the store is so inviting and so nice! Love this place!!“

“I always grab a cup of coffee here when waiting for my events to start. The events I go to usually at Irvine Marriott next door or Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse in the same Center Irvine Tower. It is super convenient do have the Starbucks in the center and I love it!“

“Awesome service! Great desserts. Shout out to the guy taking orders. Very patient and kind. Gave my son milk to wash down his desserts. Yum yum“

“Food is great! Every time I come I get offered a free serving of smoothie!

Abe and his wife have a great thing going on. Always a joy to visit ☺️

I get the chipotle chicken ranch sandwich and it lasts me two days. Flavor is great!“

“I love this place and their coffee. The pastries are always freshly baked and yummy! Please open one in Chicago“

“The regular 85 C was as good as always for our orders but the espresso with separate cup of ice was messed up The line was long for people to buy bakery so 3 orders of coffee took too long and when they had to fix our messed up order there was another wait We wouldn’t come back tomorrow since other coffee places nearby offered better and faster service with nicer environment and Wednesday discount on drinks“

“This is a really solid spot if you just want to slow down for a bit and enjoy a simple coffee break ☕🙂. Nothing overcomplicated here — clean space, calm atmosphere, and people just doing their own thing, whether it’s working, studying, or taking a short pause from the day.
The service is quick and consistent, and the drinks come out exactly how you expect them, which is always a good sign 👍. You don’t have to think too much — just walk in, order, and relax.
It’s the kind of place where you can sit quietly, reset your mind, or grab your drink and keep moving 🚶‍♂️🚗. Reliable, comfortable, and easy — exactly what a Starbucks should feel like.
☕🙂👍🚶‍♂️🚗✨🌿📍💭“

“Hello Starbucks team how are you doing hope good. I would like to say that I’m A regular I walk everyday. And I come to this location I sit have my coffee until yesterday someone from your team that works there said something to me. She came at me in a rude way. I’m Sorry if she doesn’t like the way I act move my face or my moves. Well I’m dealing with health issues. I don’t know what her problems is. I’m An autism man I can’t control what I do. That’s 1. 2. She lied to Starbucks telling them that I go out and I follow her. I don’t follow nobody. I’m sorry if she doesn’t like how I move fast to go out. I’m Not going out for her. I go out for my buisness because I’m Working I look at everybody working and I stretch my neck because it hurts. I watch your team working as I work.“

“Craving for some good coffee? And, fresh? Your barista will brew the kind of coffee you like if they don’t have it ready. Irresistible smell of artfully roasted coffee at Peet’s always attracts me from a mile away. Definitely visit your Peet’s store here.“
