    Always clean and ready to go!
    Nicole D.

    This place is sort of a hidden gem in my opinion. It's tucked away in the far corner of the second story of the plaza along Jamboree and Alton. A lot of the crowds there are for the tons of restaurants in the center. But once you battle parking lot fiasco for a parking spot (seriously if you can walk to this place - absolutely do it) and make your way upstairs to the gaming center it's awesome. You're greeted by the friendliest staff. They get you checked in and assign you to a PC. You can buy a package for a specific amount of game time and some packages come with a drink that has free refills. I usually get my kids 2 hrs of game time each and what you don't use, stays in your account and you use it up during your next visit. The equipment is always clean and everything seems up to date and modern. There are tables and chairs for those not gaming or just there to watch their kids. They sell snacks and drinks as well. Their bathrooms are kept clean and stocked up. They also have a couple of private rooms for parties. Check the calendar bc they host a ton of tournaments.

    Great Internet cafe with nice quality peripherals. Service was great, all workers were happy, friendly, and eager to help if you ran into any issues. A little pricy compared to non-Irvine Internet cafes but pretty expected for OC.

    This is the pc setup everything lights up!!!!

    Found this place when i was looking for a cyber cafe since all the ones by my house are gone and even though this is a bit farther from home its still closer than others. The staff was awsome they answered all my questions, helped me setup and explained all the bells and whistles it was really nice and i will come back here again

    Cooper's Esports is a great place to play games with your friends. If you don't have a reliable PC set up or internet at home, you can come here and have a gaming session free from technical difficulties. And if something does happen, staff are available for assistance. The staff are nice, helpful, and understanding. My game froze during a Valorant match and a staff member helped me reboot my computer. They even gave me extra time to compensate for my troubles. The space itself is clean. I appreciate the well-kept bathrooms. Snacks and drinks are also available for purchase.

    Have your birthday party here! Just finished up my son's 9th birthday and it was so easy and the kids had the most fun! The check in was seamless, every kid had a PC and the workers were extremely helpful. They made sure each kid was set up, stayed and passed out pizza, and answered any questions the kids had throughout the party. The party packages included pizza and drinks and the kids each got a goodie bag on their way out. We had 12 kids and the parents were able to drop off their kid and spend 3 hours doing whatever they wanted! The kids were completely occupied for the entire 3 hours (could have gone another 3 hours). Can't wait to go back! Thank you Cooper's esports for making my son's birthday the talk of the town.

    This Place is absolutely Awesome! First off let me say the Staff is so nice and genuine . They went above and beyond for me and my fiancé. They check up on you if u need help or assistance and very clean and organized! They explain everything is you need help in accessibility for gaming. They even were so generous to grab a character for me Kaneki in dbd just because i have was having trouble logging into my account and helped me through to play one of my favorites. I was having a not so great day and they changed that around to put a smile on my face a special thank you to Sid & Ruben for taken care of me I will definitely be coming back so far I have checkin back to back 2 days straight. We appreciate you so much Shout out to Coopers 5star Customer Service!!!

    A hidden gem in Irvine!…read more Great breakfast/coffee spot. Have been here a few times and each time has been a great experience. Food and coffee is consistently good. The ambiance is perfect for hanging out or getting work done. Coffee wise, have tried the Nutella Madeleine and their seasonal Pumpkin Latte. You can completely customize each drink when ordering which is so nice. Both drinks were fantastic, with the Nutella one being my fave. Food wise, the Bacon Egg and Cheese sandwich was delicious. Perfect size for breakfast. Great vibe here. Staff was very friendly. The whole place is super clean and welcoming. Will definitely be back when in the area!

    Honestly disappointing, especially what appears to be good reviews of this place…read more The only positive factor I can remember is how much seating there is inside (lots of people just meeting up, working, etc). - You order on two available consoles, which you think would help with efficiency and workflow (it was pretty busy when I got there). However, it took my drink a while to come out. There was a sign above the consoles that indicate ETA of the drink. Based on the color I thought it would be a quick wait but it ended up taking 15 minutes. It seems like the coffee station, manned by one person it seems, was cranking out multiple drinks whereas the drink I got (matcha) took a long time - this is despite me being one of few matcha drinks ordered when I was waiting... - I noticed that as the barista was whisking my drink, she took the whisk out, took a look at the whisk then with her bare hands touched the tip of the whisk and reinserted it into the cup.. all without washing her hands or using gloves... I honestly wanted to say something but I was already in a rush and didn't want to make a scene at an already busy hour and the barista looked kind of frazzled already... - If you are hoping for a strong matcha, this isn't the place to go to. I got the blueberry matcha, which was a pale green in a color and it tasted like a premade mix of blueberry matcha.. although calling it matcha may be a bit generous as the drink just tasted like blueberry milk...Not sure if I'll be coming back.. not for matcha any way

    **4-Star Yelp Review**…read more **Great Two-Story Barnes & Noble at Irvine Spectrum - With a Couple of Hiccups** I really enjoy this Barnes & Noble location at the Irvine Spectrum Center. It's one of the nicer bookstores in Orange County with a spacious, bright layout spread across **two full floors** and an impressive selection of books. From bestsellers and new releases to sci-fi, cookbooks, kids' sections, and more -- everything is well-organized and a pleasure to browse. Upstairs is still my favorite spot: grab a good coffee and a pastry from the café, then settle in with a book. The relaxed vibe makes it easy to unwind and read for a while. And the location can't be beat -- stepping outside into the lively Irvine Spectrum Center with its fountains, palm trees, shopping, and endless food options turns any visit into a fun outing. That said, during my recent visit the escalator wasn't working, so I had to take the stairs while carrying books and drinks, which was a bit inconvenient on a two-story store. The bathrooms were also out of service, which was disappointing. These maintenance issues knocked it down a notch for me. Overall, it's still a solid bookstore with a great atmosphere and unbeatable surroundings. Clean, well-stocked, and friendly staff make it worth visiting, just hope they get the escalator and restrooms fixed soon! **Visited: May 2026** **Would I return?** Yes, but I'd check the facilities first next time.

However, it was really hard to get any help. Staff are hard to find and clearly disinterested in helping customers for anything. My guy and I ended up getting some games from here cuz we really liked their assortment. But, wow! They were insanely pricey! Prices seem to have skyrocketed for most of the stuff they sell. I couldn't believe the prices for the fandom specific goodies (i.e. $50 for a small cookbook) and I was not inclined, at all, to get anything like that from here. I understand why people look for digital books instead of physical books. Can't beat the wonderful smell of books tho!

    I wish I lived closer! Second trip, and now this is one of my fav OC coffee/tea spots…read more Brought my friend for her B-day on a Sat mid-morning in Sept. The line goes to the door much of the time, but they keep it moving, keep it kind, and the one barista keeps the drinks coming out so quickly that you barely have time to find a seat! It was pretty full again with half studier/workers and half friend pairs/ groups. We happened to come on the day they had a collab for jeans recycling with Madewell: donate a pair of jeans and get a free 12-oz drink from the "taplist" (regular menu list) plus a coupon for 15% off a pair of jeans! What a great and generous promo for a cause. Inside vinyl shops look fun. I am sad that the stationery shop is gone, but still looking forward to bringing my fam to check our the vinyl and fun drinks. The drinks: We came here just for the Fall Banoffee Latte because we crave/miss this British flavor. It was pretty good and a good sweetness, but I think toffee topping or a little more toffee flavor would've elevated it. I actually liked the free pour of Strawberry Swing even better! Green tea with strawberry flavor and a floral touch without bitterness. Had a taste of my friend's Princess Daisy green tea with mango/passion fruit, and it had a bit of bitter/tea flavor, but it grew on my friend's palate with every sip. The food: Only tried the cinamon sugar donut, which was tasty, solid regualr yeast donut topped with ?buttercream frosting and 8 or so cinnamon toast crunch pieces. The add-it-yourself maple drizzle dropper was a fun touch, though might've liked it a tad more viscous if possible (turned out looking like it rained maple syrup on the donut, heh). Plenty of parking on Orange St public parking lot or along that street. Now they charge at the lot, about $1.45 per hour (oh well, better than LA parking). Looking forward to returning! Maybe for the bananas foster matcha (heard good things from friend of a foodie friend :)).

We made appointments online to reserve two spots for tufting. Upon coming in for our appointments we had to wait about 20 minutes for them to set up. Upon setting up, they have to do a little class session to teach you how to use the tufting gun. After that it was smooth sailing. My friend and I choose the mini frame tufting at $75 a piece. We chose our picture and sketched it onto our canvas and was able to start tufting. The staff is there to help answer your questions and to give you tips. After you're done they help glue the backing of your rug but I didn't see them seal the back of it with any product other than a fabric to keep everything together. With that being said, if you're making a big rug idk how safe it'll be if you were to wash/vacuum it. Just putting that out there. Other then that, it was a fun and therapeutic experience. We spent about three hours on our pieces. If you make reservations make sure to plan accordingly as it is a longer activity especially if you like to take your time.
