47 Best Coffee Shops in Santa Ana

“Literally just popped in a few minutes ago, Sara made the best Findi Signature w/ light ice I've ever had 🥹😭🙏🏽
Had a rough day so I really needed this, deadass making this spot a priority from now on 🔥💯✨️“

“Mervat helped me make a choice on what to get, by sharing a few simple details of what I like. She was so kind, helpful, and sweet! I am usually overwhelmed by having to pick something at a new coffee spot. This is a true gem of a place and the coffee was DELICIOUS! I'm not even an ice coffee drinker, but based on Mervat's recommendation, I didn't even second-guess it and trusted her immediately. I am so glad I did! It is such a calm, cozy, and spacious place. I'll be coming back again soon. My new favorite coffee place!
I had to come back and add to my review - I got a gluten-free chocolate muffin and it is AMAZING. It is so yummy and soft and I appreciate that they use clean ingredients and have gluten free options!“

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

“I don’t normally review places because I like to see and experience things for myself instead of read reviews that tend to be biased but I had to take a moment to sit down and let everyone know my thoughts on this coffee shop.

I came in this Wednesday morning.

First of all, as soon as I walked in, I was greeted by everyone on staff and I noticed that I wasn’t the only one being greeted that way. Each time someone walked in… they were greeted and welcomed in. Even while they had a line and were busy. That is not the norm nowadays and they deserve a shout out for that.

to add to the first point, this didn’t feel like just a transaction, the person on register (bangs & glasses, I didn’t get her name) asked about my day and was curious to know what I did for work. This is how you build a relationship with your customers and keep them coming back (a lesson to be taught to surrounding shops in the area)

While I was waiting for my drink I noticed that they host monthly markets and had a community wall, that’s always a plus to see. I definitely see myself attending one of their markets or workshops.

Although they had a lot of drinks to choose from, I got a simple iced oat milk latte that was incredible, there’s always room to mess up a simple drink like that and I appreciate the level of detail that comes with perfecting a drink as simple as that.

Thank you Cafe Cito for the great experience & for giving me a solid start to my day. You’ll be seeing me again!“

“The only reason the atmosphere got 4/5, was bc it is not big enough, lol. I wish there was more room, I would have invited my entire cohort of colleagues from work. 1.) Cold brew - super yummy, not bitter at all, which is a plus. 2.) Watermelon donut w/ sprinkles - I got this for my kiddo, and she is quite picky at times, but she adored this.“

“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!

“My husband and I went this morning. So good! Service was fantastic and the food was just as good. My husband got the bubbies chicken breakfast and loved it. Good coffee too! I did just bacon and eggs and they were the best scrambled eggs ever. Go try it!!“

“Favorite spot on the West Coast!“

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

“I was in Anaheim on vacation and ended up spending a majority of my vacation money here. Lol most days I woke up early just to go here and fill a box full of pastries for me and my family to share, it was that good!! Can not wait to go back! Maybe ill just plan a trip back just to go here 🤔“

“Quite a nice and great place but at an odd location (wouldn’t think it would be here at all). Drove by and saw this quite stuck in street traffic. Decided to go in and get some stro by slap in the face caffeinated, VNese style. Been to their other couple location throughout CA and really enjoyed their decoration and the layout. Clean, spacious and clean cut space with both indoor and outside seating. Staff is nice and friendly. They do have big selections so I have to read abit before I picked. Quick turnaround (since not much folk here). Drink is great, strong and deep, just how I like it…..I went for pandan espresso so it is very strong for sure. Really enjoyed it overall.“

“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“

“Such an adorable spot! Great vibes, food/drinks and music. The horchata cold brew is delicious, not too sweet, just perfect. Great coffee. And the place has a large and beautiful community garden on the premises too. Really cute! Great hang spot.“

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

“Most amazing breakfast anywhere and prices are great. Its our new go to breakfast place. The food is fresh and coffee made to order. We have been going there for years now. Love it!“

“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.“

“Coffees are great and very tasty.“

“Food great but no restroom in a sit down restaurant not good“

“Nice coffee shop and place to relax and have breakfast and lunch. friendly and helpful staff. Besides delicious bakery items they also have gf bakery options. Love the coffee too“

“very sweet owners who remember you by name and ask about your day. Their croissant sandwiches are amazing, always fresh and tasty. Great option for breakfast & lunch. Fast service always. The #25 is my favorite, can’t go wrong“

“Came here while running errands. Haven't been to this area in a little while, so I was pleasantly surprised to see a coffee shop. Space is a little empty, but considering the place is pretty new I don't blame them.

We got the cherry mocha and the cookie butter latte. The cookie butter latte was the favorite. It was very rich and sweety, but not overly so. The cherry mocha was also pretty good, it had a stronger cherry taste towards the end.

Definitely a place worth visiting and I am interested in seeing how well they do in this area!“

“This is a smaller location with only a few seats indoors. I liked the asthetic, which was bright, airy, and modern with large windows. I orderd the Rice and Beans and it was prepared perfectly. The employees were kind and welcoming, the store was clean, and I would gladly return.“

“Stopped at this donut shop for a cup of Joe and no not the guy named Joe, anyways got a ham and cheese croissant with jalapeños of course and my coffee for $8.00 best price in town for coffee and croissant if your in Santa Ana must stop and try it is delicious, service wonderful always greeted with a Good Morning and how are you...“

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

“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“

“Discovered this new gem after taking my pup to the groomer and coffees are good. Their caramel machiatto and matcha are better than Starbucks. I like they also have Vietnamese coffee for extra jolt of caffeine. They sell conchas so its a one stop shop.“

“Santa Ana has some great coffee places and this is one of them. They appear to be working on a brick and mortar shop but working out of a truck currently--still producing a great drink. I tried the Churro Latte and it was awesome! The price tag is a bit higher than other shops so may not be back too frequently but I will be back!“

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

“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.“

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

“the coffee is a good price“

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

“This is hands down the best coffee spot in OC! ☕️✨ The customer service here is truly outstanding — every time I walk in, I’m greeted with warm smiles and such a welcoming vibe. The staff always make you feel appreciated, which honestly makes a huge difference in starting the day right 😊

A special shoutout to Kai, who is consistently kind, friendly, and attentive. Kai always goes the extra mile to make my visits extra enjoyable and smooth 🙌 It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality these days, and it never goes unnoticed.

Thank you for always making me feel welcome and for creating such a positive experience every time I stop by 🙏🏽💛“

“Fresh churros cooked to perfection!!! super delicious“

“Oh man, this donut shop is an absolute gem! Stopped by this morning and was blown away by the fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth donuts--every bite was pure bliss. I've had every donut and let me tell you, nostalgic and brings you back to childhood memory lane that just hit all the right spots. The staff was super friendly, hooked me up with a fresh batch, and the vibe in there is so cozy and welcoming. The smoothies are on point too! Honestly, I'm already craving my next visit. Five stars, hands down!
Easy to find easy to order and always done to the customers request. One of the best hole in the wall donut shops that's still around

You gotta check it out! You won't be disappointed“

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

“Best boba in Southern California. I got their Ube speciality drink half sweet last night and it was so good. My kiddo got a crème brûlée brown sugar matcha and they did brûlée the top with a torch. It’s such a great place. Worth the tricky parking for sure.“

“This review is specifically for Starbucks located inside Target on 17th and Grand. I wanted to express my gratitude towards Luz, her welcoming and customer service was overwhelmingly pleasant. Even tho she was the only one attending at the time her customer service was always on point. Thank you for making our visit enjoyable.“

“This is actually the first ghost kitchen I've ever been to! The storefront is cute, but it's located right behind what seems like a warehouse/trucking base so it's a bit difficult to find and has a slight asphalt smell outside the store.

The drinks took a while, but we also placed a relatively big order. The interior of the store was pretty cute and had ac!

We got their matcha einspanners for their BOGO promo ending tomorrow, and they were pretty good! I think they use oat milk instead of whole milk since it had a thicker consistency and a slight nutty aftertaste.

Overall a super fun experience, and I can see this being a fun place to take someone who's never been to a ghost kitchen or doesn't like ordering with people 😝“

“I love Rev Cafe! Great selection of food, drinks, and snacks. It really compliments the dealership experience to have a cafe in house like this. They just added a cheeseburger to their menu too. Come try it for yourself. Really fast service and friendly staff as well.“

“Best nutrition smoothie shop ! Lovely service 10/10. Super tasty keeps me full all day ! Perfect to keep me satisfied . The atmosphere is a vibe . Smells clean and good . I preorder before getting there . Service is quick and easy . My favorite hot tea with an add on of fiber . My shake is usually fresas con crema super yummy taste . Highly recommended !“

“These are our favorite donuts! They make them right on the spot for you. It’s so cool watching them get fried and then dipped, glazed, and sprinkled right in front of you. Flavors are always light and delicious. They were very helpful in guiding us what to get.

We got a free scoop of decadently rich chocolate ice cream. They have some really cute rubber duckies as well and some Duck Donut’s gear.“

“the staff is always friendly the donuts is always fresh the coffee always fresh ly made I would highly recommend to any one go there and get the best donuts they are extremely good every body treat you so nice they give you 100& satisfaction it very nice place to eat“
