A very cute coffee shop located in a big building in Irvine! I was here for a conference, and found…read morethis coffee shop within walking distance from the Hyatt in Irvine. Upon walking up to the doors of the building, there is a kind man opening the door for us. His job is to open the doors and ensure the right patrons go in and out of the building. After walking towards the opposite end will be the entrance of the coffee shop. The cashier is immediately on the left and there are large amounts of sofas to sit on or you can walk towards the back to sit outside in the patio. The coffee shop is facing a large street with a tree and large area of grass. It's very nice and pleasant to sit and people watch. I had ordered a breakfast burrito with their bacon and their signature latte with almond milk. Their burrito was very fresh and hot! There are tater tots inside with delicious cheese. I wasn't a fan of their bacon because it was sweet maple bacon; it clashed with the savory taste of the burrito. Their latte was great! Not super sweet and definitely kept me caffeinated. Super nice coffee shop and I highly recommend it if you are within the area!

Saw this place on Yelp as we were looking for a nearby coffee spot to get some work done. Upon…read morearriving, we had noticed that this place felt familiar, but unsure how. When we walked in, we realized that we had come here a while ago for an OC Restaurant Week lunch but it was called something else before. Here is what we ordered: Banana Pie Latte: This drink was okay. A lot of other banana coffees we have tried have been dressed up with toffee crumbs or banana chips, etc. This one did not have anything on top. It was just banana syrup is what it tasted like and not much else. Honey Bee Matcha Latte: This drink was decent as well. The foam was nothing special and it was just a sweet matcha. I opted for oat milk which was free to switch out of whole milk. I can appreciate spots that do this since I always go for oat milk with my matcha! Cream top just felt like heavy cream was poured on top, did not feel like an actual thick whipped cream top. Overall, I would say there are a few highlights about this place including the open tables and some charging ports available throughout the cafe. There was a ton of space and they do have wifi as well as validate your parking for the entire day, so you don't feel rushed to get your drink or work. Other than that, the service is what really brought down the experience for me. The barista that took our order was not happy to answer any questions. She was very short and had an attitude. It was our first time trying out this place, so I wanted to know which drinks were the most popular or the sweetest and she just wasn't having it. I also asked if they validated parking and she just said yup and asked for our ticket. I had to follow up with the question of how long they validate for, and again was giving attitude. When they called for me when the drinks were ready, I noticed that both my drinks were green. I read of the label that both drinks were matcha, even though we never asked for the banana one to be matcha. This would have been avoided if we just had our order read back to us. When I let her know, she did not apologize or anything. Just took back the drink and started making it the coffee version. I realized that I paid $8.75 for this drink, since they charge extra to make it matcha. I never got a refund or even offered anything. I honestly didn't even want to deal with it at that point. I most likely won't be coming back due to the service. Wifi is also kinda slow, despite the amount of people sitting in there. Tables were also dirty. We had to wipe crumbs off our table before sitting as no one was walking around cleaning. Honestly, you are better off going to another local coffee spot in the area.

My wife and I shared the breakfast burrito and pistachio French toast. You could tell from the first bite that these dishes were made with care. I can't stress enough how perfectly the eggs were cooked in the burrito and how tasty the homemade vinaigrette in the provided side salad was. My wife's Spanish latte was also flavorful and well spiced (slightly on the sweeter side as coffees go). We had such a welcoming and wonderful experience, and we can't wait to come back and try their fresh made pastries and other fare from the Mediterranean region made by Chef Amal.

I ordered the romeo and juliette crepe, crepe jambon fromage, and nutella beignet. Romeo and Juliette Crepe- This has rich nutella that is brightened up with bananas and strawberries. The galette is chewy. Crepe Jambon Fromage- This is a savory crepe with ham, mild gruyere, and cornichons that give it a hit of tartness. Finished with creamy bechamel. Nutella Beignet- Beignet is soft and fluffy with a generous amount of nutella filling. Finished with a dusting of powdered sugar. Quite rich! Great experience overall!

Absolutely terrible experience. From the moment you walk in, the customer service is practically…read morenonexistent. No greeting, no acknowledgment, nothing. The baristas seemed completely oblivious to the customers around them. What made it even more uncomfortable was that the owner was there and kept staring at me for some reason without ever saying a word. It created a really strange and unwelcoming atmosphere. On top of that, they take forever to prepare even the simplest order--even when the shop is practically empty. You would expect the food or drinks to at least make up for the poor service, but unfortunately, they don't. The food was mediocre at best. Overall, this place seems to have absolutely no concept of hospitality or customer service. Slow service, uncomfortable atmosphere, mediocre food, and staff who act like customers are an inconvenience. There are way too many good coffee shops out there to waste your time or money here. I highly recommend going somewhere else.

They give you a number when you order and they bring the food to the table. You have to go up to the window to pick up the drinks though.

It seems the family who owns and manages it is too stretched and have allowed really odd non-sensical policies and bad training to now be in place. 1. No more free refills on drinks included iced teas when dining in for dinner or lunch. 2. Most the new staff dont know the food menu in the Cafe register area. I have had to spell out and point on the menu multiple times to what I want as they are not familiar with their own menu. 3. We typically order to go at the café and eat in the Cafe at the Cafe tables. They told use recent thats no longer allowed which makes zero sense. 4. They forget to call names for take out orders on 2 occasions which had made our food cold multiple times. 5. They do zero changes or alterations to any food. Ever. Unfortunately a once awesome staple in the community has becomes mis-managed and gone down hill.

Perfect way to end it. Definitely would grab this again.

You'll need to go through a parking gate and get your ticket validated. Quite the walk from the visitor parking area. Also, there's a ton of construction in front of it as of Aug 2026, which further complicates things. Indoor and outdoor seating opportunities. Order at the register and they give you a buzzer. Casual atmosphere, even though most customers are dressed nicely since they're coming from white collar work during their breaks. Friendly staff. I got the breakfast burrito bowl, which was delicious and super filling. Note they serve breakfast all day, but also close early - midday I think - so no dinner hours. It was $15 before tax and tip when I went.

I admit I was a little skeptical about the pickled zucchini at first, but damn... it all works together perfectly. Kudos to whoever came up with this combination! If you're in the area, definitely stop by and grab one.
