“My folks and I visited this morning 11/22 in between the hours of 10am to 11:45ish. We went for my birthday drink. Many of the staff acknowledge my birthday when I asked to use my birthday reward. That was awesome. My extra hot Peppermint Mocha with a extra shot was fantastic. My dads extra hot latte Was excellent and my moms ice tea was wonderful. I chatted with a few of the gals towards the end. Very sweet. Wish i had gotten names of the staff! We talked about Thanksgiving and how some of that crew was going to be working. If I lived in the area, ( from Fresno) I would totally bring the staff food or something. I hope Starbucks does something for the crew on Thanksgiving. hint hint . Anyways, thanks again for making my birthday morning a pleasant one. We will be back for sure when we visit again in a few months.“
“I walked in and there was a small line. I ordered the Sugar Cookie Venti Latte. I was surprised at how good it taste. I got my order within 5-6 minutes. The inside is nice but very small. The parking can be a nightmare but overall be okay. I was thankful to be in and out in a few minutes. The staff were pleasant and made sure to offer napkins on my way out.“
“The owners at Van Dyke are so friendly. I visited at the recommendation of a friend. It's located in a business complex, and parking is paid, but they validate. Some of the drinks are named after their regulars, which is what we ordered. I love strawberry-chocolate anything, so Spencer's was right up my alley. Inki's was really good too. There's so much room for seating, and I love the ambiance--it's so open. It was great to stay and study. We also were given a cookie on the house, which was enormous and took me days to eat (but it stayed perfectly good). We will be back!!“
“The best coffee roaster I’ve ever been to in the states. When you buy their coffee beans, they are roasted fresh (only takes about 15mins!!) and the aroma in the cafe is just phenomenal. We stumbled upon this place today and will definitely be coming back. Their iced cafe au lait was delicious! 見つけて本当によかったです！☺️“
“love love their tea lattes! i ha e tried phoenix oolong, rose guanyin, and ceremonial grade matcha latte and they were all great!i would recommendphoenix oolong for anyone who likes classic oolongrose guanyin for anyone who likes sweet floral flavor. it kinda taste like lycheematcha latte for anyone who likes matcha ?♀️ the matcha is more on the sweet side and the flavor of matcha isn’t strong nor bitterthey also use real whole milk and oat milk and not the powder kind“
“My husband got the iced salted cream cold brew and I go the iced Lavendar vanilla latte. Both were so delicious! My husband got the Eggs Heidelberg and wouldn't get it again. The flavors didn't work for him. I got the Almond French Toast and I was in heaven!!! It was absolutely amazing and I would go there every morning for breakfast to eat that if I could!! 10/10 recommend. It's a self-service place, but the cashier/barista who took our order was nice. We sat in the far corner to have an ocean view and we loved it.“
“Excellent breakfast option in the Irvine and Tustin area. French style cafe with a wide variety of foods, coffees and desserts. I recommend arriving early, the approximate wait in the mornings is 30 minutes to 1 hour. The service is very different from what they provide in the USA, if they clean your table between meals and offer you additional items. Highly recommended“
“Amazing service - baristas always offer great recommendations. They often have seasonal drinks on rotation so I typically get a different iced latte every time I'm here. Plenty of tables to sit down and work or read. Drinks never disappoint!“
“My son was craving some acai bowl after his soccer game. I decided to let him get a little treat after his hard fought victory over the flying floppers. We were greeted by a young gentleman in the name of Justin Lensky. When he heard my son won his game, he gave him a free empenada! His face brightened brighter than the sun. Justin was really sweet to my little guy and hope nothing but the best for him!“
“Kéan Coffee Artisan Roasters serves the best coffee I've ever had, and their bakery items are top-notch too. Haven't tried every coffee yet, but I'm getting closer with each visit. Highly recommend to any coffee lover who appreciates exquisite brews and delicious pastries. Cheers!“
“The donuts here are truly delightful--fresh and delicious. Specifically, the huckleberry donut is exceptional--perfectly fresh and bursting with flavor. Additionally, the basil eggs Benedict is simply outstanding. Both are highlights of the menu here.“
“This is my favorite Japanese bakery in Fountain Valley! The lines are pretty long on the weekends but totally worth the wait. Their avocado turkey sando, katsu sando and niku pan are really good options for a quick lunch. They also have very scrumptious cakes by the slice here. Their cream puffs sell out easily on Saturday and Sunday mornings. This location is newer than the Tustin one, good lighting and clean tables. Staff here is very friendly.“
“I stumbled upon this modern looking coffee spot hidden away in a plaza, and it was an awesome find! The pastries immediately caught my eye, each one looking extremely vibrant and rich. I got an iced chai, which was rich with a complex blend of spices. I feel like chais at other coffee shops are pretty plain when it comes to the blend of spices, but that is definitely not the case with this place. One thing that really stood out is how each drink was carefully handcrafted with attention to detail. Angel who was working at that time looked like a true artisan with how meticulous he was with every detail. The only slight letdown was the honey used as the sweetener. It wasn't quite to my taste, but that's more about personal preference than it is quality. I'll be back to try their golden ratio which is a turmeric latte and some of those irresistible looking pastries.“
“The good: I came and got one of their two seasonal drink options. I'm a sucker for all things seasonal. I got the ginger molasses latte and loved how it wasn't overly sweet. It was subtle in flavor and was deliciously pleasant on yesterday's brisk afternoon. It was a great pick-me-up and the cafe's walking distance to the beach! Workers were friendly. There's indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor space has upholstered bench-style seats that were comfy. The interior has a hipster vibe with a colorful wall mural. The prices were fair. The flavor wasn't overly roasted. They sold fun looking pastries too. The latte art was perfect. The temperature of the drink was comfortable. The stamped logo on the cup was aesthetically pleasing. The menu was straight forward. Succulent Coffee Roasters doesn't succ. The bad: I think there's only metered parking. The indoor space small. The interesting: They sell merch like T-shirts, hats, and tote bags.“
“I found Moonwood Coffee in the same shopping center of a coin shop that is awesome to visit. I ended up wanting a treat and some coffee, so I walked over. The storefront has a bit of an awkward entrance away from the other business doors...but keep walking to find it because this spot is totally amazing! I ordered a cedar cinnamon iced latte and the espresso was absolutely perfectly paired with the cinnamon and brown sugar flavors. They enhanced each other perfectly and my husband who doesn't even like coffee or espresso very much was also addicted. We tried a cinnamon roll, which had this flaky dough and well balanced frosting that was not overly sweet. I was in love with that. We also tried an almond bear claw, which I thought was just ok but my husband loved it even more than the cinnamon roll. There were tons of other treats here as this is also a bakery and they do catering! I would highly recommended checking it out. The decor was also really cute and service was perfect. Just be aware the shop is small and there is minimal spots to sit and enjoy inside or on the patio, so plan on taking the treats to go ideally!“
“I absolutely love going to Paris Baguette. Food, coffee, and the service. Especially service by Anneka. She is very friendly. I think she makes the best latte in Irvine. Makes me wanna go back every time. Paris Baguette did a great job hiring this individual. Thank you Anneka!!!“
“Came here on a weekend and the line was a bit long, about 45 minutes but based on all the reviews, I needed to see the hype. I ended up ordering a Ceylon tea with Tiramisu milk foam. Definitely different than any other boba I’ve tasted, I enjoyed it but not enough to go back again. Maybe I’ll go on a week day another time.“
“Luv Nutrition is one of my favorite places. So much so, I come almost once a week! Their shakes, teas, and donuts all taste amazing and exactly as described on their menu. And the best part is they don't have that powdery texture to them. The owners are wonderful people. They're so personable and treat everyone that comes in like family. If you're looking for a place for protein shakes, look no further. Luv is the easily the best in OC. Both in food and service. Go support this locally owned business!“
“The coffee show is very cosy and quaint. The spot is pretty popular and there are people sitting at almost every table. They have a decent menu, and the drinks we tried were very good. The preparation times are significant though, so the personnel is not rushing with making the drinks. It was a good experience overall.“
“Parking, lot... that's great If I can park, already higher, I tend to rate Visited today with a friend for a little post birthday fun Sometimes, who your with matters more when all is said and done We both ordered the waffle with mixed berry, whole and half Upon coffee order, they did not have decaf Cappuccino and vanilla latte with ice Strong, but I'm not sure we'd go out of our way to coffee order twice The waffle has a grainy texture with a touch of sweet The presentation was nice; it felt like a breakfast treat I did not try any of the items from the bakery display But, I watched others order them from far away Based on the appearance factor alone I would say the pastry chef is very talented, for I have never made a whole layer cake or macaron on my own For a date or meet-up, it is a cute spot I would recommend giving it at least one shot xoxo - Op“
“Very tea-forward. My favorite of the local shops for tea flavor (good stuff, and strong) and texture (the tea lattes don't taste as watery as many places, both iced and hot were solid), although the concentration can also be a bit of an issue for people like me with low caffeine tolerance. One tieguanyin latte here definitely has several times the caffeine of a normal cup of tea...“
“This is the most reasonably priced coffee cafe in South OC. The seating accommodations are plentiful with the library nook being cozy. I've tried several different flavored lattes and have not been disappointed. The food is unique and tasty.“
“Cute Coffee Shop located in Costa Mesa off of Adams and Harbor Blvd Clean and plenty of room for sitting. I ordered the Honey Lavender iced latte as I had the same drink a few days before at Starbucks which rated like something crated in a lab (not a good thing) so I was still craving a decent lavender drink and saw The Caffeine Club offered it on their menu. The barista was nice and had my drink made in a short time. I was not disappointed as it was delicious and not overly sweet or flavored. It was exactly what I was looking for to satisfy that Lavender craving. Thank you Caffeine Club for a delicious drink.“
“Drove through Newport on the way back home and found this amazing smoothie spot. Everything I look for in a smoothie spot: ton of options, juices, fresh smelling, great ambiance, friendly staff. Had the Earth, Roots & Fire, my gf had the Hawaiian Sunset. Both were amazing. When I got back to San Diego realized had left my phone at the shop! Contacted Allie who was incredible. It was late in the day but Allie was so gracious and accommodating, went next day to the post office and had it shipped. Was already a fan of this place but the effort to go above and beyond sealed it. Great place, couldn't recommend more highly.“

“I came back to Ding Dong for the second time with my boyfriend, the milky flan is now my favorite shave ice. Their ice noodles is very unique and it visually pretty. The inside give out a very cute vibe with tables to sit and sofas as well. The service was good, the staff took our order even though they almost close and gave us a generous amount of everything. He even asked if I can eat peanut and asked for my opinion after I left. Definitely coming back again!“
“Have to say it's the best latte. I've ever had real creamy. We're just so so good if you haven't tried this place. Definitely stopped by, and the prices are better than Starbucks.Any time i've been in the area it's a definite must have“
“Easy 5 star!!! Twas my first time trying açaí bowl here and I’m so glad I did it!!The staffs were friendly and professionally served our delicious bowl sweets!We got açaí blue bowl with chia pudding, chocolate chia, strawberries ? , blueberries , bananas ?, roasted coconut ? flakes, almond crunch, almond butter and pumpkin ? seeds! Twas absolutely delicious and the sweetness was perfect to me! :)Keep up the great work!“
“KIT coffee sits in a very office building-y area of Irvine. It's surrounded by tall buildings and you will have to park in the parking structure behind them (to which everyone knew except my friend and i). It's a very nice area but I parked in the wrong parking structure by accident and had to pay $7 to get out (I was there for an hour). 1. Thank you berry matcha?: the strawberry oat milk in this is so good this is one of my favorite matchas I've ever had. The oat milk was a standout for me2. Horchata matcha: it tasted like matcha but made with Cinnamon Toast Crunch milk. No complaints3. Smoked avocado toast: avocado toast with a thick layer of crushed bacon the crunch on the bacon was good solid avocado toast4. Lox avocado toast: avocado toast with arugula, pickled onion (standout), red pepper flakes, cucumber, lox. This avocado toast was huge ($18...) but it was very good i really enjoyed this and would recommend !!!!“
“Came in on a Monday and tried the Ube Latte, I got mine 25% sweet and I LOVE it! I don't care for my drinks too sweet so I couldn't tell you what it would taste like if I got it the regular way. My daughter got the Ube Matcha Latte and she said it was really good! We also got the fruit skewer and that was good too, we just had to try it. The cafe is really cute and kind of small, only a few places to sit inside but there is outdoor seating too. I would definitely come back here, the people are also very nice and welcoming“
“This place has quickly become my go to spot, thanks to the warm and welcoming baristas who always go the extra mile. Although the shop is a bit small and can feel a bit cramped, I usually opt for takeout. The only lament I have is its unfortunate distance from my workplace; otherwise, I would gladly indulge in their heavenly brews on a daily basis.“
“One of my favorite spots to get an açaí bowl. This location unfortunately felt like it was lacking what the Huntington Beach location has in terms of toppings and fruit. Could be because we came before close. Otherwise always a good move going to Blue Bowl.Proportion on point! Even the small bowl will fill you up after they top it with all the fruit and toppings you ask for. Solid for after class or just a weekend treat.Staff friendliness 10/10Portions 10/10Toppings Options 7/10Parking 8/10 (depending on time)Parking: 1hr free parking“
“This is one of my favorite places for casual coffee or meeting with clients. The drinks and food are great, ambiance is wonderful, and there are plenty of spots inside with chargers if you need to work on your computer. And there is a yoga studio nearby if you want to do your morning workout, then grab some coffee!Parking in front can be tough to find during peak hours but there is a lot next to the bank with plenty of spots.Highly recommend this location.Parking: Parking in front of Kit can be tough to find during peak hours but there is a lot next to the bank with plenty of spots.“
“Very fun coffee shop with unique flavors and a cool atmosphere! Would definitely recommend stopping by and enjoying a drink here. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. The line was long but moved quickly. Its kind of in a hidden spot but its a gem. 5 stars!“
“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Moongoat Coffee, and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience! From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service that truly made me feel welcome.The star of the show, of course, was the coffee. I ordered both the Coffee Latte and the Churro Latte, and they were nothing short of exceptional. The Coffee Latte had a rich and smooth flavor, perfectly balanced with just the right amount of espresso and steamed milk. It was a comforting and invigorating start to my day.Now, let's talk about the Churro Latte. Oh, my taste buds were in heaven! The combination of the aromatic coffee and the delectable hints of cinnamon and caramel made for a truly unique and indulgent experience. It felt like sipping on a churro in liquid form! I couldn't get enough of it.Beyond the incredible beverages, the atmosphere at Moongoat Coffee was cozy and inviting, with comfortable seating arrangements and a pleasant ambiance. It was the perfect spot to relax, catch up with a friend, or simply enjoy some quality "me" time.What truly sets Moongoat Coffee apart, though, is the exceptional service provided by the staff. The baristas were friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about their craft. They took the time to explain the menu, answer all my questions, and even offered recommendations based on my preferences. Their attention to detail and genuine enthusiasm for their work made the entire experience that much more enjoyable.I highly recommend paying a visit to Moongoat Coffee. Whether you're a coffee aficionado or simply looking for a cozy spot to unwind, this place has it all. With their outstanding service, delicious coffee options like the Coffee Latte and Churro Latte, and inviting ambiance, Moongoat Coffee is a hidden gem that deserves all the recognition. I can't wait to return for another exceptional cup of coffee!“
“This review is already posted on Yelp, but I wanted to share it here too:This place offers a solid (hot or cold) vanilla latte. I usually order mine with oat milk. But my absolute favorite drink here is the The Nook Way. It's a cold brew with chicory, hazelnut syrup, and oat milk. I feel it's a nailed perfection of flavors.I did try the iced Spanish latte, but it wasn't for me. The cinnamon was too overpowering in the drink that it eclipsed the other flavors. I do believe there's an option to tell them to leave out the cinnamon though.Service is hit or miss in terms of friendliness. I have encountered welcoming and cheery vibes about 50% of the time. I think the gentleman with the baseball cap is usually friendly, as is the other gentleman with longer, slightly wavy hair. But the shop is always lightening fast at making drinks compared to other coffee shops, so I won't nitpick too much on friendly service.Space: it's small, so don't expect to sit here for conversations with friends, or to study. There are some limited seats inside, but it's more for waiting for your order.I am also sad they disabled the ability to do online orders or to call in to place a phone order. I'm guessing the traffic for the small space of their shop could be why they're no longer doing online orders because the online ordered drinks could just overtake the counter space.Parking here can be a pain in the butt, so I've yet to figure out a secret to getting parking. I solely go for coffee in this plaza and wished there was a spot for 10 minute parking to get in and out.Overall, I appreciate the quality drinks at Nook and find myself coming back several times a week.“

“A nice cafe for brunch, pastries, and coffee! Lots of seating indoors and outdoors but will get busy on the weekend. Lots of parking which is nice.Food wise, I really enjoyed their breakfast burrito. My partner had their eggs benedict which I felt was average. Their pastries were nice! I liked their chocolate croissant and raisin scone. Also enjoyed their latte, you can choose to substitute for oat or almond milk at no additional cost, which I appreciate :)“
“Not your typical donut spot. They're a little fancier but they're really good and for a decent price. Staff was friendly and they off coloring pages for kids that they hang on the wall to decorate which makes it a great family environment“
“Went here to tried out the Bingsoo dessert and was not disappointed. So many versions offered. We ordered the berries Bingsoo to try. The bowl was huge. Can feed at least 3 people. Finely snowflakes typed shaved ice served with all the different berries and drizzled with condensed milk! Not overly sweet. Easy to order, scan the QR code or there is a menu at the register to pick from. Need to go back to try the pasty portion of the desserts. Indoor and outdoor tables available! Staff was very friendly!Parking: Parking is hard to find in this area since the entire squares mile is filled with various restaurants.“
“I would argue that this is one of the best coffee shops in California.I stopped in for a bite to eat and then I left with a loaf of bread. Let me tell you, this place just became my next addiction.The jam and butter biscuit was from heaven itself. They serve OLIPOP which is my FAVORITE drink to find at a coffee shop when I don’t want any more caffeine.I can’t wait to stop in again for more treats!For more reviews follow me here on google or on instagram @audrey.pulliam“
“Delicious cookies! Bordering on undone at times but still delicious! Best warmed up. Comparable to levain bakery cookies but different enough to warrant its own taste test. Got the sea salt caramel, triple chocolate, and strawberries and cream cookies. Also got the banana pudding.“
“I went in with my girlfriend today and I didn’t catch her name but a very nice woman was there and was so patient and explained all the process and THE DONUTS WHERE SO GREAT!! We didn’t even make it to the car from the restaurant with them xD so fresh and good!!!“
“7 Leaves cafe combined with Crema Cafe? Just the killer combo. All of the drinks, varying from the House Coffee to the Herbal Tea from 7 leaves, and combining it with Truffle Mushroom Omelettes all the way through to Beef stew! The food was DELIGHTFUL, and just one bite can make your insides melt. Every bite you take, you know that the chef made it from the heart. The drinks are also AMAZING. The drinks are always refreshing, satisfying your thirst with flavor. With each sip, you can taste the freshness in the drink. The naturalness make the drink pop with flavor.The waiters and cashiers are VERY kind, helping you with almost anything you need!The atmosphere of Artisan is very peaceful and tranquil, with greenery flourishing around the building. The outdoor seating is a bonus! Umbrellas and trees provide shade in the outdoor seating, with speakers playing easy going music while you are enjoying your meal! The moment you step inside the store, an amazing aroma floats around the room, combining many different dishes and drinks! The interior of the store is a easy navigating place. Plenty of room to sit at and is an amazing place to study! The restroom are very clean, with a nice aroma around the restroom. Not a smell you usually expect to see in a restroom!I totally recommend Artisan. If you are looking for somewhere to hang out, study, or just have a good brunch, this is the place to go! It is a hidden gem barely noticeable, but once found, is an amazing treat!“
“We were heading out of town and wanted a quick breakfast that was not fast food. We shared the Crocker Classic breakfast and there was more than enough for 2 people. Loved the potatoes. The cafe is very cute inside and outside; only 2 tables inside but many more outdoors. Onsite parking is limited but you can park in the neighborhood or just ride your bike/e-bike here. We didn't order anything from the bakery but everything in the case looked delicious and tempting!“
“It's crazy how you can go to a "fine dining" restaurant like Mastros or SET for the white table linen and white glove service but the food could be mediocre at best! This restaurant has the best of both worlds; although we sacrificed white linens and big fancy wine glasses, you get in return some of the best flavored and textured food on the market. The pasta that I serve at the fine dining steakhouse I work at is soooooooooo gross compared to what you can get here for literally half the cost. I think a Mac n cheese or Rigatoni pasta at SET can run you $35, but here you can get an appetizer and entree for that price. Wow the flavors and quality do not disappoint! It was my second sip of wine where the ambiance finally got me; gives me Godfather vibes. There's low ceiling lights that are broken up by the arms of a the rotating fans. It gives such a mysterious and old school vibe. Id rather eat here, get great service and pay half the cost and go home with a fully belly and a huge smile on my face. I literally cannot wait to go back next Sunday for dinner!“
“just a passing visitor, I found this coffee shop within walking distance of where I was staying. based on the menu and pricing looked like a good place to get a cup of coffee for a decent price. I arrived in the atmosphere, was very welcoming, and a perfect spot to work remotely. I ordered a 8 ounce cup of black coffee. Their drip coffee is medium roast but one of the blends is lighter than the other and I enjoyed that. I also ordered a eggs Florentine burrito and switched out the spinach for potatoes. Salsa was excellent with the burrito, they offer free Wi-Fi and have outlets to charge your laptop along the walls if you are able to snag a spot. I worked and stayed at Hola Adios, for about 2 1/2 hours and left before they closed. The staff was very welcoming and nice and even gave me a free refill of my coffee before I left, I think that was because they were closing soon. highly recommend this coffee shop for coffee at a great price or alternatively, a nice spot to work remotely from. They have great music and a great staff. I wish bathroom door wasn’t fog glass, but a very nice aesthetic and atmosphere. highly recommend hole in the wall.“
“really cute shop with a screen where you can order and pay yourself. the owner is super sweet and interactive with customers and checks to make sure that you like your drink. she makes sure to ask if you’ve ever had any of the ingredients before (ex. fresh taro). would definitely recommend coming here. would give 10 stars if i could“
“The lady who runs this place is the sweetest! Service is also very quick and convenient bc of the drive thru. One time I bought a dozen for my students and she included some complementary ones bc she said she thought I deserved some too!! The prices are very affordable and the donuts themselves are honestly the best donuts I've ever tried especially in this area. They're not too cakey, not too sweet, and just the right amount of fluff!“
“A no frills family owned donut shop that always manages to satisfy my cravings. The bear claws they have here are massive and honestly can keep three people happy. I'd suggest you ordering any of their glazed donuts and steer away from the baked/caked donuts jf you're not a fan of denser donuts. Parking can be hassle during peak lunch time because the shop is located in a strip mall where people go in and out to get fast food and for siam station.“
“Small coffee shop within high rise business building. Lots of sitting outside and parking is 2 hour complimentary with validation. Tried instant tiramisu and ice americano. Liked both and instant tiramisu is more lukewarm desert than coffee. Like this “
“Had never had BLK Dot, but have seen it many times before. What a great and unique coffee, unlike anything I have ever had. Service was fantastic! The individual helping me was being trained and he was doing a fantastic job! really friendly staff and amazing location and overall vibe! The coffee itself is great, extremely robust flavor and very strong! I am glad I got it iced because it was frankly too strong when I first tried it. When I let it melt for a few minutes it was perfect! Would highly recommend if you haven't tried it! Vietnamese coffee is great!“
