“Joy & Q are two of the nicest folks you'll ever meet! They take time to chat you up about your day and if you're a frequent flyer of Cassel Earth, like I am, they'll always remember your go to order and name!!

Their oatmilk lattes are by far my favorite thing to get there. They use quality syrups, espresso beans, and oatmilk! It tastes the same EVERY time which is amazing to me and so very appreciated!

Also, the location is absolutely perfect. It's clean, tidy, and overall such a fun vibe. You can tell Joy and Q love what they do and it is apparent in how the run their shop.“

“A true hidden gem here in Laguna Niguel. Wide selection of beans and roast levels to choose from. Beans are roasted onsite. Staff is top notch and are happy to explain all the choices available. I always come here for the whole beans but they do have a small selection of coffee available to enjoy there or to go. Outdoor seating is available. A+ customer service! For all the espresso aficionados out there, don’t miss this place!“

“I have been here to visit Shark Bay for many years.The service is always fast, this is my favorite Acai berry shop.“

“We discovered this place when visiting Laguna in February…. So glad we did! Love the owners and what they represent. Loved so much we purchased a monthly subscription so we can enjoy their amazing coffee all the way in Alabama!“

“Great coffee and chai! My husband and I stopped in while visiting our kids in the area. Adorable place and some of the coffee we have had. He had the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and I had an iced dirty chai. We loved them both. We will be back any time we are in town!“

“A community gem filled with joy and energy, bringing together a multitude of happy people to share weekly anecdotes and laughter.Along the way, you'll feel the rich warmth and aroma of coffee and warm greetings from our expertly skilled staff.Order a cup of Neapolitan coffee and make new friends, even if it's just for casual conversation.That's the beauty of small-town American communities.“

“Love this coffee shop! Friendly staff and amazing baked goods. They have an excellent coffee menu too.“

“Had a craving for coffee after walking by the beach so I googled spots nearby. With so many options (never Starbucks) I saw this one had a pretty fair amount of good reviews. It’s pretty small, not a lot of seating, but you’re by the beach so not really a priority.
I took a look at the specialty menu and I have to say, nothing too crazy. I settled in the cherries and cream latte. I didn’t really taste anything special. The coffee itself wasn’t bad, just didn’t stand out“

“my sister forgot about me so I waited here. It's by her work. Really good spot to wait around for your sister who forgot about you. Here's a pic of me waiting for her in their outdoor seating. Coffee and food very good. Would come back even if I weren't waiting for my sister.“

“Delicious coconut oatmeal iced coffee the barista made me!“

“Matcha so good and the foam is so creamy to the point I’m getting my own frother at home. I ordered Sakura matcha. It’s the perfect amount of sweetness and with a floral hint. Matcha is definitely ceremonial grade it’s a dark green shade, smooth, and not bitter. Personally I do like a stronger matcha flavor, so to me this is light to medium level of intensity. There is a parking lot but the lots are small and it is pretty packed so FYI.“

“Can’t wait for you guys to open!!!“

“nice stout coffee. they have other drinks as well. highly recommend ground beans and great flavor.“

“Humanity Coffee is hands down my favorite coffee spot in Newport! Isabella always has the best recommendations. Today she suggested the Cookie Butter Matcha and WOW, it did not disappoint! The drinks are amazing, the vibe is great, and it’s the perfect place to grab a coffee and take a walk by the beach. Highly recommend“

“Don't listen to the lonely negative review! I get my bowl made to my preference every time (unlike Craig Peters' post below). The staff ALWAYS respects my request to substitute blueberries for strawberries due to allergic reactions. Delicious and healthy, and never a hassle.“

“Good coffee/latte people are nice location is convenient“

“Such a gem of a coffee spot! This cute little neighborhood café has quickly become one of my go-tos. They have a lot of different flavors so you can customize your cold foam. Everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully made. Their cold brew is bold but super smooth no bitterness at all 👏 and they have tons of great milk options from Straus.
The vibe is welcoming, perfect for grabbing a quick morning coffee or hanging out for a bit. You can tell they care about quality and the small details. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and want something that feels local and special! 🌿☕️✨“

“Every time I come here I get the 2nd best cup of Coffee ever !!!!! To legit to quit, keep up the great work Jason, Kyle, and Tianna!“

“first time. lovely experience. everything was very good, but not extraordinary. the avocado toast was pretty bland, couldn’t taste the avocado or cream cheese. the turkish coffee was a surprise - i don’t usually drink black coffee unless it’s very good coffee, this one i could drink it black. loved the candy that came with the coffee. service was basic, more like neighborhood family restaurant style, and they both were on the quiet side. the decor was nice and chic, not so fancy. the place was clean and quiet. overall, it’s good but on the pricier end.“

“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:)“

“Great new find☕️awesome service and cool vibe ☕️🤠“

“HIDDEN GEM!
Love this place. I walked in for the first time after seeing their name on the marquee of the Rivian. I went in and ordered a Habibi latte. It was delicious way better than I expected. I also ordered the chocolate chip cookie. One of the tastiest cookies I had.

The manager took my order. Christina was very nice and told me about all the events around the area, including that Rivian has a bunch of events for kids and adults.

I hope more people come to this coffee shop. It was really good and the coffee was excellent. 10/10“

“The atmosphere is inviting and cozy, making it a nice spot to unwind after a morning workout. Their coffee is expertly brewed, with rich flavors that stand out. Very limited food menu, but delicious pastries. Overall, a solid place for coffee lovers!“

“Great view, amazing employees, and awesome vanilla latte. I highly recommend. Great vibe!“

“Best oat milk chagachuga - thank you“

“Impressive array of barista skills, matcha, espresso, classy layers and latte art! It's all rolled into a rather dull and pale inside unable to match atmosphere to coffee craft. Us two went for a banana latte, fancy green tea, and a breakfast bagel. The colors! No wonder Yelp puts this tops for the area. If only I could order from Indiana.“

“Went early in the morning for grand opening. Awesome staff and good vibes. Coffee was great too!!“

“it was my first time, I enjoyed my French toast“

“This is one of my favorite coffee shops in Irvine. It's has a cozy, low-key feeling to the inside and the coffee and matcha are great. My go to is the egg coffee, which is sweet and very creamy. We also got a mango match which was refreshing and a raspberry pistachio croissant which was very good.

Love this place, definitely a staple in my coffee shop rotation.“

“Wall Writers is a hidden gem in Irvine with a modern, cozy vibe and plenty of seating. The menu goes beyond the basics with unique drinks like ube lattes, pandan matcha, and pistachio lattes. Definitely worth trying. Prices are a bit higher, but the quality and creativity make up for it. It can get busy, but overall it’s a great spot to study, hang out, or grab something different from your usual coffee run“

“Relaxing environment right off of PCH“

“New Fav coffee house! Awesome selection of fresh made grub, classic coffees, vibe and hospitality on point, nice change from 🌟bucks - give these guys a try!“

“This place has THE perfect coffee! We have been to seattle and portland and we're quite disappointed with the coffee in US so far, but this one just hit the bullseye, similar to some of the best speciality coffee shops in Europe! And the beautiful seating area outside is an added bonus. We will definitely be back“

“A cute little hole in the wall shop with great matcha!! I went around the time they opened and waited to order in between the influx of people. There are lines. But move fairly quickly! Staff were friendly and nice. Especially for being so early in the morning lol. So glad it’s near work!“

“Very good coffee above corporate level, coffee institutions.“

“Excellent high quality coffee, one of a kind flavor, plus very speedy delivery.“

“Love Vegan and Gluten Free Options. So happy here !“

“One of my favorite coffee shops of the OC area

As soon as I stepped into the cafe, I was met with a high ceiling that was a refreshing break from more of the low ceiling office spaces that I had been studying in. The layout and decor is well put together with the napkins, coffee cup sleeves, and utensils being easily accessible and out of the way from any lines that may form. I’ve also delighted in the presence of board games and enough seating to host these board games! The space is fitting for any who seeks to study with enough accessible outlets within reach wherever you sit. There’s also a maker space area right next door, and in a sense because there is no closed doors between the cafe seating area and the maker space market - it just makes the space feel even more spacious!

I ordered an iced chai latte spiced with nonfat milk. It came out to be $6 for a large cup size. I took one sip and all my worries for the day seemed to have melted away! Praise God! It was incredibly thoughtful to have stickers placed on the drink so that you would know who made your drink. The staff are all kind and hard working - God bless you all.

I want to be back to try the other drinks because it seems like there’s a new seasonal drink incorporating mushrooms, which I have not heard before.

The time here was wonderful.
Thank you all for this space and the sustenance you provide for potentially weary souls.
I truly have no complaints for this place.“

“I really like the salted caramel matcha latte that I got. I got it with regular milk and it was so creamy and flavorful. The matcha did not taste bitter at all and I feel like the salted caramel complimented it well. There were people on laptops doing work inside so it seemed like a nice study spot. I appreciated that they had a limited food menu as well if you were in the mood for something factory. All-in-all, I'd come back again!“

“This place is a hidden gem. I stop by every time I'm at the grocery store. They get my drink perfect every time. The vibe is so cool and inclusive. The staff are friendly, helpful, and truly seem to get along. Please, if you're in the area, give them a try, you won't be disappointed“

“One of the better ones out there..“

“Basic quick service (Halal!) noodle house with a variety of hand pulled noodles and appetizers and more. The noodles are good but lack the bouncy and texture of great hand pulled noodles. The beef noodle soup was solid but I definitely recommend adding vinegar as well as their great salt/pepper combo in the shaker. Appetizers: black fungus salad, cucumber salad and Chinese pickles cabbage w're all good. Service was attentive and friendly. If you want a quick noodle dish, this is fine but better options are out there.“

“The staff were so friendly. As a student group from the University of Northern Colorado. We appreciated their kindness and great drinks.“

“One of the better coffee places in all of Southern California. Vietnamese code is their specialty and it’s a fantastic bean origin for delicious coffee drinks of all types. I normally get the hot Spanish Latte or an iced Americano, both of which I would highly recommend to anyone.“

“So this doughnut shop is inside the grocery / general store in the plaza. They offer so many unique doughnuts like various candy bar and cereal flavors, as well as some more traditional flavors. The doughnuts were delicious and a great find. It's definitely worth a trip to try some unique and tasty doughnuts.“
