Oliver Cafe is good supplement to the surrounding offices, It is a good place to meet friends or to have a team meeting. There is not many choices in the cafe, and the cafe only opens in Saturday from 8:30 to 11:30 am

I went hoping for a nice lunch while I work. My friend and I spent nearly $50 on mediocre food and coffee. The food is filled with cheap “fillers” like tomato to keep the portions of the better ingredients smaller. What they’re calling a “caesar salad” has no resemblance to a caesar except maybe… romaine? None of the other ingredients have anything to do with a caesar salad. The entree portions are small for the price, but they give you a large side (that I would rather not have) to keep the price point up. My latte was bland. There’s no air conditioning, so it’s rather warm. The thing that took my experience from 2-3 stars down to 1 was the behavior or other customers. Because this building is basically a huge garage, sound carries. There was a couple “studying” next to me, and apparently they knew someone seated at another table so they were basically shouting talking to each other, and then the couple spent the rest of the time I was there loudly on face time with another one of their friends. The person on my other side basically had his bag in my seat (the booth stretches across the room) and wouldn’t move it, along with taking up a table for 4 alone when there was clearly a group of girls nearly who were trying to squeeze at a table for 2. The service is also not very good. The lady at the counter acted like it was the biggest inconvenience that I wanted to see the coffee menu since it’s not on display where you order your food. You also have to bus your own plates, which alone isn’t a big deal, but along with everything else, it’s just a negative experience all around.

I love this great cafe and hang out spot. I came for breakfast and worked for a while using the free wifi. The coffee was great (horchata latte was amazing). The breakfast burrito was big sized. I probably could have split it with my girlfriend and been satisfied. The service was superb. The barista immediately helped me reprint my receipt, even remembering my order by memory. The gentleman changed my cash with his own money so that I could tip (he didn't know why). The vibes here are really chill with a great outdoor space also.

Food is great! Try the avocado toast! Plus you get to play pool!
This looks like a branch of Moongoat. Coffee was good but my latte was way too hot. The spot is cool. Big open space and they have couches and more lounge seating with big TVs playing news and sports. Cool spot if you want to work from a cafe. It’s in the middle of a business park which is cool if you work in the complex. I have come here multiple times. The churro latte is nice if you want a sweet treat
This is really a hidden gem.
Great place but…it’s chilly inside. Pls close the garage doors and install a ventilation system!
Very good food. Cool and breezy atmosphere.. outdoors.

Great for work/study. Wifi & power outlets available. Coffee decently priced, food was okay. Service was excellent, very friendly & helpful staff. Lots of free parking. Bathrooms easily accessible down the hall
Temp employee here. I was working here for a few days via a job agency and this job has made me the happiest and most motivated in a long time that I’ve been working at the hospitality industry
Their food is amazing the atmosphere can cure my depression I am extremely jealous of Sega of America and Twitch Irvine, who gets to eat here often I will literally plan to come here on an off day just to chill there I haven’t felt this relaxed and happy at a cafe in a long time brings Starbucks to shame for coffee place standards
They don’t have information about time for placing an order for breakfast. Was waiting for 5 mins, at 10.30 they don’t serve breakfast anymore. At next time you can order food is 11. Am.
The other week we waited for 45 minutes for our order!!! I asked to speak to the chef and they refused, Alex came out, apologized and issued a refund, she even offered a complimentary drink from the coffee bar which was very yummy, I got the churro latte. The baristas were very sweet and accommodating and even gave us a pastry on top of that, for the inconvenience. We tried giving them another shot on Monday, the specials weren’t even available and waited 35 minutes just for a salad. I’ve had the same problem with waiting on an online order. That wait times are just ridiculous. I come here on my work lunch and have to return to work hungry. I’ve given this place many tries, but I’m choosing to no longer return.

Hello ,
I just wanted to leave a review saying that Arianna was super wonderful, very kind, attentive, and thoughtful when ordering and helping me when I made a mistake. I wasn't sure how I wanted my cold brew, so she took the time to give me suggestions about what was popular, what she liked, and offered to let me try a few combinations until I got it right. If I messed it up, she mentioned she would be willing to give me a different drink. It is service like that that encourages me to come back to enjoy a coffee shop.
