Recently, I tried one of their seasonal drinks: the Very Strawberry Cream. There's strawberry foam on top with strawberry jam around the cup. I really loved the combination of all the flavors, but I would ask for less of the jam next time. Parking is super easy to find, there is a bathroom, reliable wifi. I love interacting with the staff. They're all really nice. I saw one of the baristas run out to their car once and then came back to give their pokemon cards to one of the kiddos in the cafe. It was such a sweet interaction to see. The cafe itself is also really cute! A few tables to work or catch up with a friend. Highly recommend!

I've been going here on and off since they opened about 2 years ago. My regular is usually their…read morevanilla oat latte. But I go through phases where I'll get their raff coffee or the bananna cream mocha. I also like their short and salty. I've had the bumble coffee but it wasn't for me. Their in-house syrups are pretty good and coffee/espresso generally taste like a smooth pull. There has been maybe twice where the vanilla oat latte was a bit lacking on the vanilla flavor but besides that they're generally consistent and good. The app is really useful too if you're in a hurry in the mornings! I'd definitely recommend this place.

They offer a decent selection of coffee, tea and matcha drinks, and also have a small selection of pastries and bagels. Service was great, as the cashiers were friendly and welcoming. My drink was made to order, and was ready in about five minutes. There are a decent number of tables and outlets downstairs and there are also a decent number of tables on the second story. They have top notch, high speed wifi and is a relatively quiet space in the afternoon (be advised morning may be louder due to the various ongoing church activities offered). Overall, nice and clean coffee shop in AV.

There is a vast amount of seating if you decide to sit and relax in the quiet atmosphere there. The list of offerings is short and simple. I asked for a vanilla latte but the kind barista sheepishly informed me they were out of vanilla so I opted for a honey latte. I just had lunch so, although the few pastries in the pastry case looked tempting, I passed this time. The honey latte was excellent, slightly sweet and served at a temperature that was immediately drinkable. I took it on the road this time but, as mentioned, the abundance of tables and the serene ambiance make this a great place to sit for a while and read, return emails, get some work done, contemplate the universe, or converse with a friend. I'm not often in this area but would not hesitate to stop here in the future to enjoy a coffee.

This is hands-down, the best cold blended coffee drink I've had anywhere any place. What really makes this drink work is there flavored coffee powders which work and taste so much better than syrups used in other such drinks. That said this particular location is very convenient. You can drive through. Have your drink inside or walk up and go lots of options. The staff are friendly. The drink was made perfectly in record time in a very pleasant senior area.

The workers were nice and friendly and the experience overall was great! Will be coming back when I'm in the area.

We don't have much south of Irvine so we have to settle for Ding Tea / Krak / Presotea / Boba Bee and various others so was excited to try something new and independent, but was the worst place I've had in a while. Both Oolong milk tea and Matcha Hokkaido were way too sweet and creamy despite asking for half sweet where oolong and matcha taste was barely present and overpowered by the other ingredients. The boba was very firm, barely had chew and has been sitting out. It's tough being an only worker running the shop and he was doing his best to not have people wait too long for their drinks and ordering so I'm sure that had an effect. The plus is that they offer milk alternatives for free so giving a star for that!

Of the $100 dollars I spent getting a variety of goodies, here's my breakdown: The ding dong things- way too chocolatey rich with minimal cream filling, never again The Chicago bran muffin delicious, sticky with nuts and raisins I think The cinnamon rolls, meh, never again, dry not expected The buns, made hamburgers at home they were actually better than expected! Soft light The cream puffs they tasted decent but left an afterfilm of the full fat cream in the center so never again The strawberry custard croissants were my favorite, this outshined them all! If am ever in the area I would get those for sure. But for the prices being so much, not sure why people frequent this place.
