Edit in response to the owner: I tried the Wadi Jannat and Karogoto. My friend really enjoyed the Wadi Jannat last time, but was confused why it tasted so different this time. I would love to learn more about the specs and how and why you do pourovers a certain way.
This is a cute place to have a quick coffee break or sit and work, with lots of seats and plenty of lights. I tried a few pourovers witha few friends and the presentation of the drinks were on point.
It might be because I came in with really high expectations or the barista was having an off day, but the pourovers were not great. The tasted watered down because it was under extracted, and i could not get most of the tasting notes for them. The barista said they were poured that way (super fast) for a reason but my friend said that it was more full bodied in taste the last time she came.

This is a REALLY COOL coffee shop. Even though it’s massive, it’s not loud, the staff was super friendly, and the coffee was great!

If you want to enjoy a little bit of OC history with great coffee this is the place for you. Located inside the historic bank building in the circle this stop boast high ceilings and beautiful windows. Everything on the menu is made well and offers some of the best coffee flavors in the world.

Very mid-
The location is cool and very hipster as it feels like a pop-up in old bank. We ordered three drinks and once the baristas made our drinks they were too busy chatting with their friends to call out our name for the drink order causing our drinks to sit for far too long and start cooling.
The coffee is the same basic under roasted taste that every hipster joint has. The cappuccino lacked depth and while not bad in anyway, it was also deeply unremarkable.

Great vanilla latte! Staff was really nice and the building it’s in is super cool.

Had the shaken maple latte and it was really good! Had to wait a little for a seat to be available (you seat yourself), but there are a good amount of chairs! There’s Wi-Fi available with the password posted on a placard on the wall. The café was really unique as it was located in what was previously a bank. Will definitely revisit next time I’m in town.

Adorable coffee spot thats a must see. Very unique enviroment that i havent seen in another coffee place.
Staff are incredibly friendly and the drinks are memorable.
Great spot to burn some time, go on a cute date, or get some work done. Solid amount of seating but is much less cramped then other spots nearby

I had an amazing experience here. The coffee selection is insanely high quality. They had a Sous-Vide processed (hadn't even heard of that before) Panama Gesha on drip, if that tells you anything. The staff are all-stars. The owner is crazy knowledgeable, incredibly kind and a disciplined hard worker. If I lived near Orange, I'd be here everyday.
disappointing customer service. 25% tip I gave was a waste.

Been going here for years, first as a Chapman student and then a resident. Great drinks, service, and the vibes are great for studying. I always end up getting a lot done here! Be sure get a good spot early in the day if you plan to stay a while as it's popular.

Easily the best coffee shop in the circle. Baked goods are impeccable, coffee is perfect, vibe is right. Top marks.

Stellar coffee - ordered two different items from their pour over menu. Plus they have actual relationships with roasters around the world that showcase (both on PO and retail) quality light roasts and highlight producers. And shoutout to Leon for the hospitality! Helped me track down the coffee on retail that was calling my name.
