I had a great experience at Mameya Coffee Roasters thanks to the owner, Dice…read more I originally placed the wrong order, but instead of just fixing it, Dice personally took the time to replace it tailored to my preferences--no extra charge. That kind of customer service is rare today. What stood out even more was the conversation about coffee roasting, acidity levels, and how different roasts can affect digestion. I've had issues in the past where coffee bothered my stomach, so I stop drinking it altogether, but Dice actually helped me understand the differences and guided me toward personalized better choices. Overall, it was not just a coffee purchase, but an educational and genuinely thoughtful experience. Highly recommend this place if you care about quality coffee and people who actually know their craft. Thank you Mr Dice!

I've started dabbling in the art of coffee making with my own espresso machine. One of the most…read moreimportant things I've learned is that procuring the best beans is more than half the battle. While researching roasters in the south OC area, I found Mameya in Laguna Niguel. I instantly feel in love with their concept of "blending Japanese tradition and innovation to create a coffee experience that transcends the ordinary." They specialize in offering beans from all over the world and roast them to your personal preference. Being able to pick your beans and roast level is simply amazing. This allows the fresh taste and small batches for experimenting. The quality is so remarkable and their online ordering system is great for timing each new batch for ease of pickup. If you are looking for a new coffee experience that specializes in quality coffee for rememberable consumption, Mameya has you covered!

Concrete Coffee *May 23rd, 2026…read more*9am- Saturday *4 Stars Environment: *Large Parking Structure *Upper Floor of Mall Area *Small Indoor Seating Food/Drink: *Double Matcha Latte (Oat Milk and 50% Sweetness) *Raspberry Matcha Latte (Oat Milk and 50% Sweetness) Came back while I was in the area because I wanted to finally try the matcha drinks. My sister and I really enjoyed the coffee during our last visit, so we were hoping the matcha would live up to the same standard. I ordered the Double Matcha Latte with oat milk and 50% sweetness, and it had a really nice strong matcha flavor. My sister got the Raspberry Matcha Latte, since raspberry is usually her go-to flavor pairing, and she liked it overall but realized raspberry may not be her favorite fruit to combine with matcha. The server also mentioned that the drinks are sweetened with agave, which was nice to know. I also appreciated that they don't charge extra for milk alternatives, especially as someone who is lactose intolerant. Even at 50% sweetness, I probably could have gone a little less sweet, but overall it was still a great experience. Definitely a place I'd come back to again.

I found Milk & Honey Café on Yelp and it looked cute, so we decided to check it out. It's tucked into a shopping plaza but has such a charming little café vibe when you walk in. The service was quick and super friendly, which is always appreciated when you're fresh off a hike and just want caffeine ASAP. We both ordered iced Americanos and they were honestly perfectly smooth, strong, and exactly what we needed. While we were there it started getting pretty busy with people coming in for coffee and grabbing food, which is always a good sign. We overheard a few people talking about how good the food is, so now I'm definitely curious and will have to come back to try something off the menu. Overall it was a great little post-hike stop. Good coffee, great energy, and a cute spot to hang for a bit. We'll definitely be back.

We didn't send it back, but it was disappointing. On the bright side, I did enjoy my parfait--it was fresh and really good. Overall, I'd consider coming back, but probably earlier in the day. Solid spot with a great vibe, just needs a little consistency.

Ambience 5/5 Located in the same plaza as sprouts, there is plenty of parking in the parking lot, when you walk in there are a mixture of tables and bar seating/booths along the wall. Grateful for groups of 4 to 5, we're coming here solo or for a coffee date. There are outlets along the front wall, our seating, and the booths on the side to get work done (great plus!). They do play music so noise level is average with the typical coffee shop. Sounds as well. What I really loved was the multitude of sitting areas around the whole coffee shop and also a little play area for toddlers. (Kitchen play) next to the door -- so adorable! Drink 5/5 I got a small lavender latte, it tastes super flavorful, strong lavender flavor, and I asked for a little bit light sweetness (less honey). Sometimes when I get lavender lattes, they have a little bit of bitter aftertaste, but this wasn't the case at all. They also have awesome looking seasonal flavors that I'll have to come back to try sometime. Service 5/5 I know others have had something to say, but everyone was super friendly and you could tell that coworkers got along -- seems like a really good work culture where people become friends :) Overall, I love to this coffee shop. If I lived near the area, I would definitely be a regular, but will certainly keep this as a place to stop by when I'm passing through the area!

Very long wait but it's worth it for a special treat…read more The pastries all look incredible but we had to get the limited edition Cinnamoroll blueberry bread. It was so light, fluffy and like a cloud! The turkey croissant reminded me of croissants in Europe - it was crispy, flaky perfection. We got matcha sea salt cold brew drinks and they were phenomenal. Some of the best cold brew I've ever had (mine was the black cold brew, my friend got the caramel cold brew with milk). The cream top is so unique and flavorful and you can tell everything is made fresh with intention. Once you order, everything comes out very fast too. No seating inside but there's plenty of outdoor seating which is perfect for enjoying these treats.

You could tell it's because of the whole team of people who made this happen so God bless you all. You get a free box if you order 6 pastries, and considering our family we grabbed exactly 6 pastries. They go out quickly and are restocked quickly. We were told that the cheese jalepeno is very good, and it was Stellar. It's my favorite out of the rest. I think there's a noticeable difference in not just the design but also the "cleanness" of the flavors especially for savory pastries. The milk roll bun melted in our mouths. I ordered a rose matcha latte and it was noticeably of higher quality too. This is a place to treat loved ones. I hope there would be more indoor seating in the future because I would otherwise come here frequently to work and study! God bless you all+

They offer a decent selection of coffee, tea and matcha drinks, and also have a small selection of pastries and bagels. Service was great, as the cashiers were friendly and welcoming.

They have top notch, high speed wifi and is a relatively quiet space in the afternoon (be advised morning may be louder due to the various ongoing church activities offered). Overall, nice and clean coffee shop in AV.

There is a vast amount of seating if you decide to sit and relax in the quiet atmosphere there. The list of offerings is short and simple. I asked for a vanilla latte but the kind barista sheepishly informed me they were out of vanilla so I opted for a honey latte. I just had lunch so, although the few pastries in the pastry case looked tempting, I passed this time. The honey latte was excellent, slightly sweet and served at a temperature that was immediately drinkable. I took it on the road this time but, as mentioned, the abundance of tables and the serene ambiance make this a great place to sit for a while and read, return emails, get some work done, contemplate the universe, or converse with a friend. I'm not often in this area but would not hesitate to stop here in the future to enjoy a coffee.

I ended up ordering the matcha with a cream top and my boyfriend got the mango smoothie. Here is our review of both: Mango Smoothie: this was just the typical tasting smoothie. Nothing too special or fresh tasting about it. It is just the normal juice/syrup based smoothie. Matcha: the sugar was sitting at the bottom of the cup and the matcha tasted bland overall. It was more milky than anything. I could not really taste the cream top, as it was so thin that it kind of mixed throughout my drink before I could try it. Overall, we came here to try the poki but just wanted to get drinks from here to try as well. I would not recommend coming to this place, as there are other options nearby that have better matcha.

They also didn't offer much explanation about their drinks, so if you're not sure what you want, it can feel a little rushed. Inside seating is very limited, which makes sense for the size. The highlights for us Young man offered me a sample of Kombucha: the kombucha was solid, and refreshing. Both the regular latte and the black latte were okay. The blackberry latte was better. One nice bonus is there's a great park just around the corner down the hill with beautiful views. You can grab your drink and drive over to sit and enjoy it there, which is a nice touch. But honestly, it's probably not worth making a special drive for.
