35 Best Coffee Shops in Santa Ana

“What an absolute hidden gem. This family owned Mediterranean coffee shop is truly one you need to visit!

From the moment you walk in, you feel like you’re being welcomed into someone’s home. The owner is beyond kind and genuinely passionate about what they do, and that warmth translates into the detail of the experience.

Their coffee is Italian (the best) and it shows. Rich, smooth, and perfectly crafted. The pastries we ordered were made from scratch and are hands down some of the best! The Mediterranean recipes are also homemade and bursting with authentic flavor. You can taste the care and tradition.

Everything we ordered was incredible, but what really sets this place apart is the service. It’s rare to find somewhere that makes you feel this comfortable, this appreciated, and this happy to be there.

I was only visiting the area, but I already wish I lived closer just so I could come back regularly. 10 out of 10!!“

“Fantastic service, lovely place to do work or hangout. I love that they have a baristas choice of the day, it’s a great way for me to try new drinks :] also their support for local groups and movements is really important ans appreciated!“

“This is one the best spots in Santa Ana to grab specialty coffee. Great staff, great coffee, and great ambiance!“

“Had the No.2, knowing I wasn't going to like butter in my coffee and DAMN, this one was delicious.

Service was weird. I sat down and was greeted. The guy went over to the register to help two groups of ppl that arrived after me. I asked if I needed to walk to the register and the guy said no and helped a new person with a wine selection. A girl from around the corner came to help a few moments later.“

“We were in the area, and I was craving for coffee. I found this place with all the great reviews, so I decided to come by. It is located inside a plaza with lots of parking spaces. Parking was easy. They have both outdoor and in door seatings. Menu seems smaller, but still has enough options. I ordered matcha lavender latter and New Orleans cold brew. Both of our drinks were amazing! The cold brew is my favorite cold brew I have ever tried. I am unsure if it has oak milk in it, but it has a slight sweetness in it, which made it good! The matcha was strong, but not bitter, and it has a strong lavender scent, which I love. The only complaint I have is the size of the drinks were too small, and I was unable to enjoy it more. Too bad I left, or else I might go back and get another one. Cashier was friendly, patient, and kind that he explained different drinks to us. Very modern minimalist decorations, and they have magazine available to read in the store. I will come by again if I am in the area.“

“Best Avocado toast I’ve ever had and the Lavender latte was very unique and delicious! Must try the blueberry cookie.“

“1. The latte was well-crafted and delicious!
2. The spot has fun casual vibes! The interior is open!
3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! It was ready in less than 10 mins!
Note. There is a single restroom available for customers!

“The vietnamese coffee was so delicious, perfect ratio of sweetness to espresso. I can't wait to go back and try another drink, although I might just get it again because it was so good“

“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.“

“Excellent Vietnamese coconut coffee, pleasant atmosphere, 3 tables inside to work from, nice bench and multiple shorter tables to hang out around. Moderate, nice music volume. The coconut coffee is one of the best Vietnamese coffee drinks I've ever had. Not too sweet, well balanced, excellent cream foam, top notch!“

“Food portion and quality was good. New cashier didn't explain that there was an upcharge for choosing panini bread for my sandwich. Posted menu price didn't match what they charged me, there was a 35 cent difference. Service was fast and friendly. Manager apologized for poorly trained cashier and pricing issue. I will come back again.“

“The bread here is to die for, especially the sourdough. It’s soft and fresh, with the write amount of brunch. The focaccia is also very good. The chai latte is also very good—whatever blend of spices that they use is very good quality.

Keep in mind, the bread will spoil in about 6-7 days (which is a good thing). The customer service is pretty good. It’s a crowded place, so definitely expect a line on Saturdays, and other peak times.“

“One of the best breakfast places I’ve ever eaten at. The Japanese bread is made by their chef. The French toast was insanely good as they caramelized it, French scrambled eggs so light and silky. Pork belly was scrumptious. Coffee iced lattes so good!“

“First visit, glad to have found this delicious, Organic Coffee Company. Also, glad to know they have several other locations as this one is fairly small and closes at 2pm (way too early). They are in an office park so it's not that exciting if an atmosphere.
But the coffee was smooth and delicious and they have Heavy Cream, yay. Plenty of parking. Small outdoors patio and decent size inside seating.
I'm gonna check out some of the other locations. One of the locations is their Roastery.“

“How does this place not have a higher rating? I’ve tried a bunch of coffee places in this area and they have all left me feeling a bit unsatisfied. The coffee here is amazing! You don’t need to add a bunch of sweeteners or syrups. It’s balanced, easy on the stomach, yet packs a solid punch. The coffee is high quality and will be the only place I go to from now on.“

“Freshly brewed teas in a minimalistic setting. Drinks were rich, and not too sweet, which I greatly enjoyed. Great grab & go place!“

“Was in the air I was looking for a donut spot. When I got to this spot in particular, I came in and I saw they were selling burritos. For under $10 you could get the best breakfast burrito you could find. This burrito is so good. The customer service was amazing. The lady and the man in the front were super cool and nice. 10 out of 10 would come back for another breakfast burrito. And if you’re wondering what it was, it was the sausage.“

“Closes at 1:30pm :(
Very clean, not crowded, quiet, convenient to work, has plugs for charging, very nice workers, have some bakery options (4 types of croissant, avocado toast, breakfast sandwich etc) and has coffee (does not have soda options)“

“Came here on a whim. And will always come back when I get the time before work. Variety of coffees (my favorite is the blueberry), doughnuts breakfast sandwiches, bagels, instant ramen amd drinks.

Staff / owner is really friendly and welcoming. Food is great as well. I get the pastrami or breakfast bagels.

Highly recommend this place if you happen upon it.“

“There are limited options here for drinks. I was hoping for slushies but they basically only had coffee and teas. The guy at the register was not very friendly. I got a passion fruit with boba. It was pretty good, tasty, refreshing, a little too sweet. The boba itself wasn’t the best though.“

“Lo único que no me gusta que luego no tiene cambio es único de ahí pero lo demás está bien atendido“

“Decided to try this little coffee shop. Not a big fan of coffee but, I like that this spot has options besides coffee like cold refreshing drinks, teas and espresso's. Got the lavender chai tea cold, best thing I've had all day. Seems like the food is first come first serve, which I'm ok with. Definitely coming back Clean location, spacious, friendly and fast staff, music is loud but enjoyable, restroom is nice and clean.

“Haven't found a spot I like better than this place. The location is not in the most desirable spot, but it's definitely worth a stop.
I cant pick a favorite because every time I try a new one it's just as good as the last. The owner Nadine also makes a Hawaiian hamburger that's just heaven.
Turkey avocado bacon, yum.
Banhmi better than any I have tried in the Vietnamese shops.
The best Ruben I have ever had as well. Yummy potato salad or macaroni salad made there daily and a fresh cookie with each sandwich.“

“Full coffee ☕ full attention“

“Su servicio excelente y la nutrición!!!❤️“

“The staff was friendly. The barista mentioned they were out of the berries that go into my drink and instead suggested adding strawberries! It was great AND she didn't charge me the additional add in fee that is usually associated with adding strawberries!“

“Came in around midnight. Not busy at all and plenty of parking. Had been to another Yum Yum with no French crullers, but they had them at this location! Yum yum makes the absolute best crullers. This location was no exception. So light and fluffy, just delicious. Highly recommended. Will be returningApril 2023“

“Esta super bien tanto como el café y los panes, y más la amabilidad del personal“

“I love this place. VIVA NUESTRA CULTURA MEXICANA🇲🇽“

“Great tasting water! this place has the best water I've tasted in the whole city. The locale is very clean and the owner is Super friendly. Also their prices are the best in town. Definitely a good place to fill my 5 gallon bottles. Even when the locale is closed I can fill up on the self serve station.“

“Randy’s donuts shop has amazing food. Donuts are amazing and the breakfast burritos are delicious. The thing that sets them apart is the friendly service. Everyone in there is nice smiling and very friendly. I would recommend this to anyone.“

“Fantastic freshly made food, coffee and baked goods always, and the most hospitable service and hosts. A definite must“
