Finally today we got an opportunity to go with family who were visiting. Turned out to be a great place to hang out with friends and family. Indians love their tea and there is this entire spectrum of Chai shops in India from street vendors to little shops to cafes. Served with little cookies for dunking, savory snacks and little sweet pastries or cakes. I loved how they incorporated the essence of that culture and then gave it their own twist. Everything we had was ace. They have not cut corners with flavors and ingredients. Everything on their menu is worth experiencing. From the bun maska to the rose pistachio loaf to the samosas the flavors were awesome. Paired with ginger kissed masala tea or coffee made it a match made in heaven. We will now be visiting often to get our fix of chai. An experience that should not be missed. Highly recommend.

We were here a couple of weeks ago, and overall, I really loved the ambience of the place…read more We ordered 3 burritos total--2 butter chicken and 1 spicy--along with aloo paratha, gobi paratha (which was a bit salty), and samosas, which were decent. We also got 4 drinks. The iced drinks were very bland, so I would suggest getting the hot drinks instead. The desserts, however, were amazing! We loved the tres leches and the pistachio cheesecake. Honestly, I would come back mainly for the desserts. The one disappointing experience was the service. We drove all the way from LA specifically to try this place. We placed our order, left the suggested tip, and were then told by one of the staff members (she was the barista) to put our dishes away when we were done eating. I mean... really? What is the point of leaving a tip if customers are expected to clear and put away their own dishes, like at a fast-food restaurant? And just to be clear, we had actually already stacked our dishes, wiped down our table before she even mentioned it because we're not the type of customers who feel entitled to leave a mess behind. But being specifically told to put our dishes away (she showed the bucket tray where she placed at the middle of the shop) after leaving a suggested tip was disappointing. Overall, I really liked the ambience, and especially the desserts. I just wish the service experience matched the rest of the place.

Whenever we get the chance to eat out for breakfast this spot is our go to. Our favorites are the…read morebacon and egg breakfast sandwich on ciabatta with potatoes and the French toast. Pretty good size portions but can weirdly be inconsistent since the remodel. Coffee is nothing special, no to the matchas or the chai. Order at the counter, seat yourself, and they bring it to you. It's a hit or miss on the service sometimes not the friendliest girls at the front and sometimes takes a long time to get your food. They've been changing up the decor and style it's interesting.

L'orange café is this really great place to go in and have everything from a simple latte to a very…read morenice meal. Plus, they also have tons of treats. So, if you want to get a tasty bakery item or a gelato, they have it. This is a really unassuming restaurant. They have a big sign that says gelato out front, so many people walking by may think that is all they offer. This is not the case, however. They offer so much more. Don't be fooled by the sign! Once inside, you find a very well organized and very well developed café. They have really nice two people booths along one wall. Plus, they have tables for larger groups sprinkled throughout the restaurant. It's really a great place to sit back and enjoy a drink, a meal, and a conversation with anybody you go in there with. In terms of food, they have a wide spanning menu. They have very good breakfast items from all of the expected things you would expect: quiches, eggs, and all of that kind of stuff. Plus, they have a really nice menu of salads, as well. They also have a number of other things thrown in there, a lot of paninis, a bunch of sandwiches, and a little bit of everything else. It's really hard not to find something that you'll really enjoy at this café. The staff here is all super nice. And, they're happy to help you out with anything that you may need The way this café works is that you walk inside, go up to the front counter, place your order, and you're set to go. You can do this a couple of ways: you can grab one of their physical menus and choose what you want or you can also scan the QR code at each table and then you can look at their menu via your phone. One way or the other, you could find something you like and order. Overall, this is a really great place to enjoy a drink or a meal in Orange. Not only is the food and the drink all really good, it's a very good atmosphere.

Thank you rekindled for providing such great food!

UPDATE! I'm thrilled to share that after my post, the owner…read moreof Rekindle, Rebecca, reached out to me and has been absolutely wonderful. It's not often today for the owner of a business to reach out directly to a customer - she did and it was a very positive engagement. There are time that even the best business has a hiccup and something goes wrong. What makes a huge difference is how the business responds, and therefore, Rekindle gets five stars. I'm certain my next visit will be fantastic - I'll be posting an update in the near future. Wow - So Disappointed! Rekindle was at the Taste of Orange this year and I enjoyed one of the Italian sandwich samples they were handing out. It was fantastic! We met the owner - she was very charismatic and charming. Today we stopped by to grab an Italian sandwich, and I just cannot believe they served me bread that was so old and dry - it would have been perfect for croutons, but definitely nothing like what we had at the Taste of Orange. The bread was so dry I had to dress it up with some olive relish to eat it - I don't expect when I pay $31 for a sandwich and chai iced tea latte to get home and have to start working on my sandwich. I accept some responsibility for this, because honestly, who goes to a coffee shop for a sandwich.

I cannot recommend this place enough! I recently hosted my daughter's birthday party here, and the…read moreentire experience was phenomenal. What stood out the most was the exceptional customer service from the owners, Mike and Mercedes. Their origin story really resonated with me--Mike started this business out of a true passion for art and community, and that dedication completely shines through in how they treat their guests. From the moment we first reached out to inquire all the way through the planning process, Mike was incredibly accommodating and responsive. The venue itself is awesome. It's a really cool, beautifully decorated space that instantly makes you feel creative. They offer a wide selection of projects to choose from, and the team gives you fantastic attention and guidance throughout the entire event. We had a wonderful experience and I am already planning to come back to host future events here. If you are looking for a great venue and unique experience with amazing owners, this is it!

I ordered the cereal milk latte and classic breakfast burrito, which filled me up throughout my day. Water pitchers were generously kept cool and filled, and music wasn't too loud so you can do some work. There are outlets underneath the bar table which was super cool. WiFi worked great as well. Definitely coming here again the next time I get to WFH :)

I would like to begin with saying that the baristas here are great, friendly, and knowledgeable and…read morethe coffee has no negative notes home. I am writing this review because a few of my friends and I have frequented this coffee shop for a few years now, but we wont be back for a while. Months ago, one of my friends had made a visit and overheard an elderly woman making a negative comment about a Pride flag displayed by the register. Obviously other customers comments cant be or shouldn't be controlled by the company, but we were extremely disappointed to find out that since that comment was made, the Pride flag has been taken down. I had ran in to grab a drip before work one morning and noticed that some of the baristas also no longer had their Pride flag pins on. This clearly has details I am unaware of but it seems obvious that corporate had those images removed. This makes me and my friends feel very uncomfortable with how this situation was treated. I wouldn't recommend any of my friends to support this kind of activity. One very simple solution for you: Bring back the flag and you'll bring back our buisness! If you're worried about more complaints from individuals like the elderly woman, maybe fly an American flag as well I simply want people to feel safe and accepted.

I wish I lived closer because I would go here daily!…read more Stopped by late one evening on my way home -- the amazing aroma floats through as you walk toward Coffee Heist and I was excited before I even got there based on how yummy it smells walking in to store. I got an iced coffee for the next morning and a jasmine tea for that evening -- both were exquisite. The tea was refreshing and the coffee is so flavorful, strong without being bitter and lots of delicious notes. The guy working behind the counter was so kind too -- appreciate his thoughtfulness once he found out I would drink it next morning, he held on putting ice in so it would stay concentrated til the next day. I need to go back and buy a pound or two of coffee -- or maybe they can open one closer to me in LA too :)

Loved this place! I have always passed by it when I've been walking around Main Place but I finally…read moredecided to try it. It was soo good! I ordered their Vietnamese iced coffee. It was strong but not bitter, creamy, flavorful, and had just the right amount of sweetness. They also have other drink options like matchas and smoothies, which I'll have try next time. Ordering at the kiosk was really easy and you're able to customize your order too. The place is very clean and there are a few tables where you can sit inside. What I noticed right away was how friendly and welcoming their staff is. One of the ladies behind the counter was so sweet and greeted me with a smile. I'm definitely going back next time I'm at Main Place.

I love spending time in Old Towne Orange and visit the area often, so I was excited to finally stop…read moreby Centro & Storico. It did not disappoint. We started with the bruschetta, which was fresh and flavorful, though the garlic was a little strong for my personal taste. The crispy potatoes with rosemary and breadcrumbs were a standout and an absolute must-try. The bucatini carbonara was rich, comforting, and full of flavor. Pro tip: add a little chili flake for an extra layer of flavor and a nice kick. The Neapolitan-style pizza was excellent, with a beautifully charred crust and quality ingredients. We finished with the tiramisu, which was light, creamy, and packed with espresso flavor. My only suggestion would be a few more ladyfinger layers for a bit more texture. I also love that they offer gelato, bakery items, and a coffee bar for those looking to grab something on the go. One of my favorite touches was seeing day-old pastries sold in bundles. As a pastry chef, I always appreciate businesses that make an effort to reduce food waste while still offering great products. Overall, great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and friendly service. I'll definitely be back and am already looking forward to trying the affogato next time. Highly recommend if you're visiting Old Towne Orange.

Went to an event nearby and we were hungry for some brunch. My bf and I found this place on a whim…read moreand were pleasantly surprised with the many selections to choose from the menu. Of course I wanted to try two items and the lovely lady at the front told me about the 1/2 panini 1/2 soup/salad option! I had 1/2 of the Pesto, Egg, & Turkey Panini with 1/2 of serving of the Chinese Chicken Salad. My bf got a full Pesto, egg, turkey panini with a Kuppa Joe coffee. I guess we are simple couple but we swear this was the best panini we've had! The salad was fresh and the serving was more than enough that my bf was very happy to help me finish it up. Definitely worth every penny even if they were very wallet friendly. The ambiance was also lovely. Not to judge the area, but from a strip mall location I didn't expect for this place to utilize their space this well and make it so clean and restaurant-like. Very great experience and definitely coming back next time I'm in the area for breakfast or lunch !

I can't speak about their food because I didn't get any but it looks like they have a good array of options. I got an iced vanilla caffe latte. I will say like it was good but it was a little sweeter than I expected and definitely a strong coffee. Which is not bad, but I think maybe I should have stated my preference! The person who took my order was very friendly and prompt. She made my drink quickly too. The area itself is nice. Really great seating and it feels very open. And I liked the music they were playing. I will say for some reason when I was there like around 3:30 PM they opened the doors of the cafe and started cleaning and such. It almost felt like they were closing but I knew they closed later than that so I wasn't sure. Anyway, I still think this is a nice cafe in Orange right across from CHOC if you're waiting for someone.
