“My fiance and I were in the area for my nephew's wedding. On Sunday morning, we looked for a breakfast location. We prefer the small local restaurants as opposed to the chains. Up popped this Laguna Cafe, close by where we were staying. From the time we entered the door, it was obvious we picked the right spot! it was cozy, homey, friendly and downright delicious. The clientele were all laughing, enjoying the morning and the atmosphere. We got served by Monja, the proprietor, who wore a shirt with our favorite scripture, John 3:16. As we bowed our heads to pray, she gently joined us in prayer. What a blessing. Needless to say, we will go back when in the area. Highly recommend the food too! And say Hi to Monja from Mark and Dianne from Arizona!”

“​If you appreciate a beautifully structured cup of coffee, True Love is a must-visit. They take their craft seriously and it shows in their deliciously executed and ever-changing pour-overs. If you have an adventurous palate, you have to try their co-ferment. I gravitate toward complex, layered flavors that lean into that crisp, side-of-the-tongue depth, and it hits the mark perfectly! Iced Co-ferment on a warm summer day is magic.”

“Nothing is better than fresh croissant! Great family owned place. Very friendly prices. Signature Butter Croissants baked daily. The taste is balances, very mild sweet as I like, texture is between the super fluffy croissant and the bun, I really liked it. The chocolate croissant was a totally different story, check the picture. The taste was like it was baked sometime this week :) and the texture was like it is a bun with chocolate. So do not expect the same excitement from their chocolate croissant as from their signature plain croissants, which are super awesome and could be used for French toast and sandwiches as well and any filling. Next time I will take fresh plain croissant and fill it with chocolates home :) Next time we will try their breakfast / lunch menu. It looks awesome and the customers I met were happy. Update: amazing place with unique home character, loving breakfast here”

26 NEP Cafe - Irvine

4.4 Superb 446 Reviews

14346 Culver Drive, Irvine · 7.56 miles

• Delivery

“Nep Cafe has some of the best food in all of Orange County. The food is modern Vietnamese with some really unique options. I order the Vietnamese salad every time I eat here. It's a mix of shrimp, shredded cabbage, mango slices, red bell peppers, chilis, crispy onion, mint, cilantro and a homemade mango dressing with coconut milk blended in. The seafood ceviche, calamari and the wings also incredible. I find it hard not to take a ribeye fried rice to go every time I eat here. The bar also has a fantastic rotating drink menu with some extraordinary cocktails. I've never ordered a drink at Nep that I didn't love. Service is always really good. It can be hard to get a seat if you walk in because it's always busy, but they do take reservations online. If I had to complain about anything, I would say that the chairs are uncomfortable. The booths are better. And it can get quite noisy.”

“Apparently my skincare routine comes on toast now. 😂 This is Toastique in Ladera Ranch, and this place basically looks like a wellness mood board you can eat. First, the Avocado Smash Toast. Avocado, watermelon radish, marinated tomatoes and chili — almost too pretty to eat. Almost. Then the Mango Tango Smoothie Bowl with mango, pineapple, lime and coconut water. This one just tastes like summer. For something refreshing, I tried the Radiance Over Ice — grapefruit, orange, blood orange, pineapple and basil. And of course, a Matcha Latte because apparently I’m in my wellness era now. 😂 Coffee, fresh juices, smoothie bowls, and these ridiculously Instagrammable toasts.”
