Hello Cafe has been all over my social media so I decided to finally check it out on a Friday morning. I arrived and got in line at about 10am and left at 10:30 which I felt wasn't bad given there was a line but it moved quickly and they are fairly quick too. I got the cookie butter cinnamon roll and cookie butter latte, both amazing! The latte - I was worried it would be too sweet but it actually was perfect! I loved the flavor and how I asked for light ice and they delivered and filled it up to the top! I would try again, but I do want to come back for their matcha! I was also worried that the cinnamon roll would be too heavy and sweet but no, it was perfect. So pillowy soft and overall amazing flavor! Check out Hello Cafe if you're nearby - I definitely will be back! read more

Arrived 5 minutes before opening and already such a long line but I think it's worth the wait! I didn't realize until I got to the front of the line but they provided umbrellas to provide shade from the sun. Wasn't planning on ordering their signature drink (cookie butter latte) but so glad I did. When I took the first sip, I was immediately amazed by how delicious the drink was. I am normally not a coffee person, but will definitely come back and drag my friends here for it. Cinnamon rolls were sooo yummy too. Loved how soft and gooey the rolls were even after 4 hours of purchase. Frosting wasn't too thick or sweet, which is what I prefer. My friend and I ordered: 1) Fruity Pebble 2) Classic/Original 3) Banana Pudding 4) Cookie Butter Fruity Pebble: wanted to try because seemed like a customer favorite but it did not amaze us. Seemed like it was lacking an ingredient to merge both the cinnamon and fruity pebble flavors together. Would not purchase again. Classic/Original: Can't beat a basic cinnamon roll. Classic, yummy, would order if I wasn't craving other flavors. Cookie Butter: yummier than I expected. Ingredients worked well together. When I took the first bite, similar to the drink, I was amazed. Not sure if I can finish a whole cinnamon roll of this flavor in one day, but still would reorder. Bananan Pudding: Hands down my favorite roll out of the ones tried so far. The banana didn't overpower the cinnamon too much and there were actual banana chunks inside the roll. Highly recommend trying this one! read more

Terrible line, arrived just as the cart opened at 9 and it was around 85 degrees with a severe heat advisory. It took an hour to get an order in. Got an original cinnamon roll, banana pudding and a Ferrero cookie. The cookie was alright, not my favorite texture. A bit crumbly, didn't really give me a hazelnut vibe nor the texture I expect of Ferrero, but it's not too sweet. Update: texture actually improved after being chilled. Cinnamon roll was solid. Fresh but a bit sweet, I can't eat more than 2 bites. Banana pudding cinnamon roll has good texture but the pudding portion has a heavy artificial flavoring banana aftertaste. Also quite sweet. I had a bite after putting it in the fridge and the taste of the pudding actually wasn't as overwhelmingly artificial. So it was easier to eat cold. For the overall experience, I decided against getting a drink due to the lack of efficiency. I respect the dedication of the cafe to use a traditional matcha preparation method. However, I ended up comparing this experience to LJ's cafe, which coincidentally after dropping me off, my husband was able to retrieve 2 lattes and 2 burritos less than 10 minutes away. He made it back to me in 45 minutes with a drive and still managed to sweat with me in line. The drink would have added another 15-20 minutes wait at least. Hype wise, it's a decent roll. Certainly up there for the Orange area, but the lack of efficiency with getting just food heavily impacts the overall experience. Would I come back? Maybe if the delivery of services was more efficient. Perhaps, it's by design that the cashier is also a part time barista due to space constraints. But for people that only want food, taking 1 hour to wait to order after opening makes it hard for me to consider returning. read more

I came across Hello Cafe on TikTok like all the new, trendy spots. I was well aware that this was going to be a long wait. As a foodie, I don't care waiting a while to try something new. We showed up at 8:30 am on Saturday and they typically open at 9:00 am. There were about 30 people in line, and I appreciate the staff leaving umbrellas and water out for us because it was a hot day and there is no shade in the parking lot. I ordered a regular cinnamon roll and the Oreo flavored cookie to share with my husband. I also ordered an iced brown sugar latte. I really wanted to like the cinnamon roll, but I found the bread to be incredibly dry. The icing is obviously not gooey because they make them off-site and serve from the mobile shop. We saved half of it to warm it up at home to see if there was a difference, but it didn't save it unfortunately. The cookie had a good, soft texture but I didn't like the flavor of the filling. I think it was cream cheese, which I normally like but not sure why I didn't like this combo. The iced coffee was also not good. The espresso was bitter, leaving an odd aftertaste. I sadly don't think this spot is worth the wait. read more

I had been wanting to try out this place for some time, and I didn't know it was a little cart instead of an actual cafe. I really loved the drinks here! The first time I went, there was a long line. I think it was earlier in the morning around 10, so I didn't order anything because of the line and the heat. The second time, I went right before they closed on a Saturday around 1:40 p.m. There was only one person in line so that was much better. I ordered the iced Spanish latte with vanilla cold foam and the iced mocha puff. I liked that I was able to order both of my drinks with oatmilk. The drinks were a 10/10 imo. Super good! Not overly sweet, delicious coffee flavor and I loved the cold foam and cocoa puffs on top. Besides that, I like that they thought about the heat and customers having to wait in line. They have a tent, umbrellas, and water available for people waiting. They were efficient and had my order pretty fast. The prices are a little on the higher end, but I don't mind paying that every so often for coffee this good! I'll definitely be coming back to try other drinks like their cookie butter and banana latte. read more

After my first visit, I was pretty disappointed because my cinnamon roll was undercooked. To their credit, the team reached out and invited me back to give them another try. This time, I came right when they opened to avoid the long lines and ordered the Cookie Butter Cinnamon Roll, Banana Pudding Cinnamon Roll, a Banana Matcha, and a Tiramisu Latte. Since it was early, there was virtually no wait for the drinks, and they were absolutely worth it. I finally understand what all the hype is about! The Cookie Butter Cinnamon Roll was hands down one of the best cinnamon rolls I've had. It was baked perfectly, soft and fluffy with an amazing cookie butter flavor that wasn't overly sweet. The Banana Pudding Cinnamon Roll was just as delicious and packed with flavor. The Banana Matcha was smooth, creamy, and balanced, while the Tiramisu Latte was rich without being too heavy. Both paired perfectly with the cinnamon rolls. I'm really glad I gave Hello Cafe a second chance because this visit completely changed my opinion. Great cinnamon roll and cookies, excellent drinks, and a much better overall experience. I already can't wait for my next cheat day so I can come back for another cinny!! read more

If you haven't been to Hello Cafe yet, you are seriously missing out. Their cinnamon rolls and coffee are absolutely delicious and worth every single penny.If you're trying to decide what to order, I highly recommend the banana latte--it is the perfect balance of flavors. For the rolls, you absolutely cannot go wrong with the pumpkin spice cinnamon roll or the banana pudding cinnamon roll. Both are incredible!The line does tend to get long because this place is so popular, but the line goes by fast. Just be patient because their delicious food is totally worth the wait. You won't be disappointed! read more

Wow--your coffee and pastries have genuinely changed my life! I've officially become a banana latte connoisseur, and I can confidently say Hello Cafe has the best one I've ever had. The coffee is bold and flavorful, while the banana flavor is perfectly balanced--not too sweet or artificial. The creamy foam on top takes it to another level. And the pastries... wow. Their cinnamon roll is probably the best I've ever eaten. They usually sell out, but I was lucky enough to try the Nutella one, and it was incredible. My husband isn't even a Nutella fan, and his first reaction was, "Wow." We also tried the fun s'mores cookie, and it was just as impressive--soft, perfectly moist, and packed with flavor. Everything we tried was exceptional and the staff very friendly. If you're anywhere nearby, Hello Cafe is absolutely worth the visit. I already can't wait to come back to this cool concept. Can't believe this little trailer puts out these amazing goods. read more

I've been following this cinnamon roll trailer on IG for a while, so I was excited to finally make a pit stop on my way to OC. We got there around 12 p.m. on a Saturday, and the line wasn't too bad--about a 20-minute wait. The cinnamon rolls are huge and incredibly fresh, soft, and fluffy. At around $8 each, I do wish they felt a little more special or unique. We ordered the Classic Roll and the Banana Pudding Roll, along with a Mocha Puff Latte and a Banana Latte. Between the two rolls, I actually preferred the Classic. As much as I love banana pudding, the banana flavor in the specialty roll tasted a little too artificial--more like banana Laffy Taffy than real banana. I wish they used fresh bananas, especially since the topping is just a dried banana chip. I felt the same way about the Banana Latte. It was good, but it didn't quite hit the mark compared to some other banana lattes I've had. Overall, the rolls are delicious, fresh, and worth trying. Even though the banana items weren't my favorite, I'd definitely come back to try some of their other flavors the next time I'm in the area. read more

Arrived to this little truck at about 8:50am and they promptly opened at 9am. There was about 20 people in line already and we waited about an hour to order and receive our cinammon rolls and coffee. We tried the classic cinammon roll which is definitely big enough to share. It was soft and fluffy with cream cheese icing. The banana matcha was just okay even though its one of their popular items. It seems like they get a line daily and sell out before 1pm. read more

Meh... I LOVE a good cinnamon roll (and cinnamon - see my previous review for Don Churros) I saw several videos popping up on my Instagram feed about this truck, so talked my coworker into going with me to treat the office. Well, we arrived 10 mins before 9am, and there was already a line... good sign? As we were waiting, we excitedly discussed with other patrons in line - had they been here before? Everyone we talked to said it was their first time too. We excitedly waited for the cart to open. Now whoever said the line moved fast - IT DIDNT! We counted 16 people ahead of us when we arrived. It was over an hour, waiting in the hot sun, to finally get to the counter. I paid for my rolls and the "tip" option came up. Although I tipped, I was bitter... what kind of service was I provided? They could have put out some water for us while we waited, I wish they would have had one line for coffee and one for rolls. My coworker then ordered hers - they said they just ran out of the original flavor and it would be 10 more minutes!!! Ugh!!! We waited another 15. When we got back to the office, finally opened the rolls and they were seriously nothing special. I'm very sorry to say. We tried one of each flavor: regular, cookie butter, cookies and cream. In my humble opinion, it was lacking the cinnamon flavor and was a bit dry. My one coworker found egg shell in hers. They are still sitting in the break room, nobody is devouring them. I hear these guys are opening up a brick and mortar store soon... I truly wish them the best but I know I will never be waiting over an hour or driving to Santa Ana for these. read more

Hello Cafe. Cinnamon roll truck. I had to come try. Very unique concept that caught my eye. Also serves coffee and matcha. Housemade syrups also. Another big plus Cookie butter latte. Actually pretty good. Not too sweet as I was expecting. Cinnamon rolls. It was decent. But I was expecting more to be honest. Maybe it was my fault since I had them warm it up. Might have been a few too many seconds in the microwave. Had that soft texture. Wish it was the straight out of the oven texture but I know that ain't possible. Cookie butter roll was better of the two. Original classic roll. Frosting was not only too thick to me but the texture was too dense. A lot more dense that the cookie butter roll. Cool concept. Hard working crew. I just wish I loved the rolls more. But it's definitely a fun spot to try out read more

Today was there one year anniversary! Been a repetitive customer for a long time, to this day I'm still surprised how amazing their cinnamon rolls and customer service are they always rotate flavors so I never get bored of their selection! I would check their ig for updates on their flavors of the week. Yes the line is long but thats how you know their flavors are worth the wait. MUST TRY THE COOKIE AND CREAM ROLL if they have it available it's delicious. People at this place give a friendly hard working vibe. read more

The coffee is delicious and strong. I bought the Cookie Butter latte and is was very tasty. The only thing I would do differently is asked with less ice. I ordered the cookies and cream and banana pudding cinnamon rolls and they were delicious I would definitely go back to try more items. The only Con is that this place is so popular there is always a long line. The ambiance is nice and friendly. I was there during summer and it was so hot standing in line but the offer umbrella's and cold water to help with the heat. read more

We waited in line through 90+ degree weather. They had complimentary umbrellas available, though we'd brought our own. There was also a water jug (no cups in sight, unfortunately) and a shaded tent where you could wait for your drinks. The ordering process was easy and straightforward, nothing extraordinary. We ordered two rolls and two drinks. Their espresso-based drinks were underwhelming; matcha might genuinely be their strength instead. The iced americano tasted watered down, closer to a 1:5 ratio than anything balanced. It could also be a lighter roast or an under-extracted shot. The strawberry latte's flavor combo didn't land for us either, though that might just be personal preference. Once again for a place to be called a "Cafe," their espresso drinks need some work. The rolls, on the other hand, were dry; echoing what other reviewers have said. That said, the centers were packed with flavor. The banana pudding roll in particular was a really nice take on pudding and wafers. One odd thing: the original roll had extra grease or melted butter pooled at the bottom, yet somehow the roll itself was still dry despite that. Solid 3/5 for the flavors. Might just be over-hyped from social media, which is honestly what brought us here in the first place. read more

Quite a unique cafe place with great cinnamon buns. Heard about this place that has great cinnamons so got to try it. Only open in the weekends (Fri-Sun) in the mornings 9am til 2pm. It's a mobile cafe that parking in a shopping plaza parking lot. With minimum but great choices menu for buns, cookies and drinks. They have weekly menu for cinnamon so they do rotate for more different choices which is nice. Nice & friendly services overall. The buns are nice and tasty, less sweet than the US buns...the bun is soft but abit heavy & chewy instead fluffy & light. The size of the buns is huge, it's good for 2 adults or 3-4 kids to share for sure. The cookie is tasty and very yummy. The drink is well make and just great. Would give a 5 if the buns can be more fluffy instead of heavy dough, but that is just my personal preference. read more

I have been going to Hello Cafe for a while the owner Brian and his family are great people very kind and hardworking .The cinnamon rolls are the best they bake them fresh daily my favorites are the cookie butter roll and the Nutella roll the coffee is really good my favorite drink is the Spanish Latte with Vanilla foam I have liked every coffee drink I have tried I highly recommend them. read more

I wanna start off by saying that the service that I received from one of the owners really made it that much more special to me. I wish I remembered his name but he's in the video I posted 8/10 Birthday Cake Roll - I was most excited about this, but it was just okay for me. I didn't love it as much as I was hoping to. The spread on top has a cream cheese flavor, which was still good, but overall it just wasn't my favorite flavor option. 9/10 Cookie Butter Roll - One of the owners actually gifted this to my friend and me and I am so happy he did because this one is more up my alley. I like the flavors a lot more. I also like what is in the middle of the roll better. It has a brown sugary taste to it. Shoutout to the owner thank you! Cost - $8.62 read more

I've been here a few times now, and it's definitely worth the hype. Their cinnamon rolls are amazing, and I love that they have rotating flavors, so there's always something new to try. The drinks are amazing also. my favorite is the strawberry matcha, the lemonade refreshers and matcha lemonades, cookie butter latte, tiramisu latte, and the mango matcha is super refreshing. You can tell they use quality ingredients. The line can get long, but it's worth it. They close at 2 PM, and some popular cinnamon roll flavors start selling out around 12:30-1 PM, it's always fresh day of, they making everything in house morning of everyday, so I'd recommend going earlier for the best selection and they always do their best to inform the line and social media when rolls are back in stock and what's sold out! The staff is always friendly, everything is fresh and amazing, and I'll definitely be back to continue trying more of their original and new flavors! read more

4 stars for the cinnamon rolls - would have been 5 but the coffee was very sweet and the coffee/espresso had a burnt/bitter aftertaste. For the cookie butter one it was better just sweet. I went to the store front and was impressed by the operation of pre order and pick up. read more

Ok I went back to try the rolls again, this time I bought the cookie butter roll (classic was sold out). AH MAZ ING ya'll. The cookie butter flavor was not too crazy, and this had the perfect balance of cinnamon to cookie butter with yummy carmelized cookie bits on top. The roll is massive and as big as my 4 month baby's head. If you plan to eat the whole roll in one sitting I would look up a local hospital incase you go into a food coma! Seriously, so good. I recommend heating up the roll or else it might feel dense...the warmer it is, the softer and gooier it will be! Only one person ahead of me in line on a Thursday day at noon! Staff is so warm and friendly. I also snagged the strawberry matcha latte, it was ELITE! read more

The banana matcha was not good today. Usually you can taste a pretty smooth matcha and banana cold foam. We are regular customers that have tried most of the rolls, matchas, cookies, etc. Not sure if it's because it's a different barista.

I am a huge cinnamon roll fan and was so excited to try these Cinnamon Rolls!! I know this cinnamon roll is trending right now and was nervous that it wouldn't meet the hype, but oh my gosh it literally exceeded the hype! The cookie butter cinnamon roll was absolutely amazing. And the dough is so soft and spongy and the icing is just perfect. Honestly, one of the best Cinnamon Rolls! I have ever had. Also, the Matcha's were so delicious, we got a strawberry Matcha and a banana Matcha. Like wow so good. The customer service was also 10 out of 10, they were so prompt and replying and so gracious and kind! Thanks so much for providing Orange County phenomenal cinnamon rolls!

Found this spot through Instagram, and couldn't wait to try them out.

They also had a jug of ice water with strawberries and orange slices for everyone waiting in line! I got 4 cinnamon rolls and 3 coffees to share with my fam, to make sure we tried everything lol. My favorite was a tie between the cookie butter and the cookies and cream. Both rolls weren't overly sweet and were absolutely perfect! The cookie butter latte was also a perfect level of sweetness without being a toothache. Will absolutely be coming back for future flavors! read more

Visited the viral cinnamon roll & coffee trailer at opening on a weekday. Line was already pretty long right at open, I got there early and was the 5th or 6th person in line. While there was a bit of a wait, the selection and quality of everything was excellent. I ordered a banana matcha with alternative milk which was delicious with a fresh banana cold foam. I do wish they offered the matcha in a smaller size so that it was not so diluted with milk, as I couldn't taste very much matcha. The cinnamon rolls were fresh and delicious! I didn't get to try the cookies but hope to next time! read more

The cinnamon rolls are good I liked it the best. Sell out fast. Wished they would announce it or have a bigger board outside saying sold out on stuff. Coffee was okay.

That's my biggest reason for the rating. read more
