Latte
Rick S.

Another wonderful cup of new coffee. The toffee crunch latte was creamy, rich and flavorful. The ham & cheese croissant was served hot and flaky - so yummy! The staff were helpful and welcoming. Ambiance is relaxing and casual.

Pretty good coffee place near the Clava sports center. A 12 oz latte is 5.25. The burritos are heated from frozen. I had one a while back and don't remember how it was. I guess it was neither great nor horrible. Today I got the avocado toast and it was pretty good. They don't skimp on the guacamole, and sprinkle red pepper flakes on top. The place is roomy and the temperature was nice at 7:45 AM.

Good Haymaker breakfast burrito with salsa and that thousand island/mayonnaise type sauce. Also go the latte. Latte was good as well! Service - good service and fairly quick! Ambiance - high ceilings and a good vibe feel. Verdict - yes, good place to chill here at Lake Forest. And free WiFi too!

I am absolutely obsessed with this place! Anytime I am anywhere close, I will make a detour to come here. I always order the avocado toast, which is made on the most deliciously fresh piece of white bread (maybe sourdough). And then my go to is the espresso tonic. They sell their espresso beans by the bag up at the front. Right now they have around 20 different roasted beans to choose from. You can't go wrong coming here!

Have tried this place several times. Love the decor and vibe of the place. Even worked here one time. They have free wifi. Service is good. Have tried their breakfast burrito, avocado toast, seasonal coffee, and iced tea. We've enjoyed their food. Enjoyed the iced tea and recently the banana bread latte. This specifically says "oat milk" on the menu. So didn't specify what milk I wanted as it says oat milk. However, I think they put regular milk. I'm lactose intolerant and had issues after drinking it!

Bodhi Leaf is a super cute and quaint coffee shop that I visited while in area. I knew I wanted something other than your standard Starbucks. And I found this lovely place. When I walked in there were tons of people, all the tables were taken and only bar top seats were available. I ordered a vanilla latte. It was perfect temperature, smooth, the beans were also perfectly roasted. I sat at the bar and enjoyed my latte and people watched. This is definitely a place I would Visit again when visiting the Irvine, Lake Forest area.

Lavender Latte
Vera L.

Plenty of parking and place is large to study or work quietly. The Flavored Latte (Lavender) in Oat Milk was well made. The espresso in the latte was strong, with a good amount of caffeine that kept me awake all day!

Caramel Latte

My experience is always topnotch Girls from here are so sweet , and welcoming I always get iced coffee and its just spot on Love this place , its my go to in my lunch time since i work close by

Iced sugar free vanilla with splash of heavy cream

Great coffee shop with friendly staff! We got two iced coffee and a breakfast burrito. The breakfast burrito was okay-the tortilla it comes with can be better. We did love our iced coffees and the ambiance. We will be back again

I had no idea this coffee shop was located in this shopping center. It is two doors down from…read moreOkoyama Kobo and it can be easy to miss. I wanted to buy coffee beans for my espresso machine. I asked the cashier what he would recommend based on my preferences and he came through with an absolute killer recommendation. If you purchase whole beans, they will roast them for you. The process will take 30 minutes, so keep that in mind. You will also have the rest of the beans for 4 to 7 days before being able to use them. You can purchase the beans in three different size bags. Can't wait to go back! As an extra, the staff is very friendly and the coffee shop is super cute.

I read that this is owned by a Japanese couple who has extensive knowledge and love for coffee. Tucked in a corner within a small shopping plaza by a Japanese bakery, Mameya is a micro roaster that offering coffee enthusiasts and connoisseurs an opportunity to select over a dozen raw single origin and blend beans. Excellence in every Roast. at Mameya, there is precisely. And passion to every bean. Service is great. The employees are very knowledgeable and friendly if you have any questions or inexperienced. The ambiance is intimate and rather small. There isn't a lot of space where you can sit or stand. Pros: I ordered their pour over common blend and it was solid. I also grabbed a 12oz bag of their Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Natural. It took about 20 minutes for them to complete the roasting process. After 4 days, I grinned the beans for a pour over and could tell this was already going to be a decent cup of joe. I did not see any significant bloom but the draw time was great based on my grind size. Cons: This shop is too far and too small so if there is a line and you don't have time, you might have to skip the experience. While I don't anticipate Mameya expanding, I would come back in a while.

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!

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.

The vibe is cozy and welcoming, with a steady buzz of customers that shows just how popular this spot is. My fiancé got the iced sweet cream latte and absolutely loved it! smooth, perfectly balanced sweetness, and the espresso was top-notch. I went with the iced Americano topped with banana cold foam, and wow, it was a game changer! The banana foam was creamy, flavorful, and not overly sweet, pairing beautifully with the bold espresso. Both drinks were prepared and refreshed us instantly. The only minor downside is parking, which can be a bit tricky, but the location is clearly thriving with tons of foot traffic and business out front, so it's totally understandable. Once you're inside, the excellent drinks and friendly service more than make up for it. We'll definitely be back soon highly recommend this place if you're looking for quality coffee and a great local atmosphere! 4.5 stars in my personal opinion

My husband ordered the Brown Sugar Maple Latte and absolutely loved the rich, warm flavors. We also shared the Ham and Cheese Pesto Croissant, and it was delicious--light, buttery, flaky, and filled with great flavor. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared.

I came in today and was served by a blonde cashier who felt cold and unfriendly. She was very bubbly and warm towards the patron (who was also a white woman) before me, who maybe seemed to be a friend or a regular. They were chatting for a bit and when it came to be my turn at the register, her face completely fell and she did not welcome me or say any greeting. Just.....silence........so I awkwardly ordered my drink. Once I said my order, she turned her head to the specials menu, and had a cold, blank expression, which made me think that it was out or that they couldn't do what I asked. I asked her if the drink I ordered was available, and there was a long pause before she dryly laughed it off and said that she didn't register what I was saying. It felt like a lame excuse and it felt so awkward; so I just tried to be as polite as possible and continued with my order. I wanted to just sit down and leave asap. It was so disorienting because she had acted in a completely different way with the girl before me. I just shrugged it off as a bad day, but when I consulted my friend about it, she said that the same girl acted in the same way towards her. And then I came here to write a review and saw that another Asian woman seemed to have a similar experience, so it doesn't just seem like a one-off thing....

I ordered 3 drinks and avocado toast to-go and I waited 45 MINUTES. I was told when I ordered the toast that it would be about a 15 minute wait which I was totally fine with. I got my drinks about 15 minutes after ordering and was standing around waiting for the food for another 30 minutes. I ended up asking an employee if they had an idea when it would be ready and they said it was probably ready and he'd go get it. He continued to make drinks and didn't go check for a while. My coffee was cold by the time I got back to my room. They saw me standing there waiting and didn't think to check why I had been waiting so long? Maybe don't serve food if it is going to take almost an hour to get a to-go item. It was avocado toast - nothing complex. I know they're busy but they have a lot of staff so it was extremely frustrating to wait when I didn't have a lot of time AND they told me it would be about 15 minutes. My sister had surgery and I was trying to get back to her with coffee and breakfast before we had to start our drive home. Very disappointed because this is a cool looking place.

We also liked that there was a restaurant next to Sabr, so we ended up getting a quesadilla that was HUGE and was yummy treat to go with our drinks. For matcha, I got the einspanner and my friend got the Cinnamon Toast Matcha. I really enjoyed the einspanner matcha! It was smooth and definitely hit the spot.
