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 :)).

Dropped off my partner at UC Irvine early this morning, so early that we didn't have time to make…read morecoffee at home, so I ventured in unknown territory to try some local brews. A mere 1.3 miles away, I find this eight year old coffee shop that has its name origins from the German word for bread. Evidently, they have a plethora of baked foods mainly consisting of flour, water and often yeast displayed in full display next to the counter. I asked one of the staff if the shop makes their own bread and she said a local artisan bakery supplies them. They look amazing and they even have gluten-free options! This is a family-owned business that provides a more than suitable area for working on your laptop with WiFi access, or simply enjoying your favorite hot or cold caffeinated beverage, oh, and I must mention that they have premium blends as well for the coffee aficionado! Spacious indoor area that doesn't feel cramped and the exposed ceiling vents, the jazzy beats that is playing at a perfect volume and plenty of potted plants give it a balanced chill industrial vibe. There are tables outside too that's perfect for early morning or late afternoon when it's not too hot. I ordered the Vanilla Latte hot and asked that they fill up my insulated mug instead of the cardboard cup. Even with the steady stream of patrons, I received my expertly prepared brew by their hirsute barista, who gave me "beard envy" (I can only sport a goatee) :D The crew are friendly, conversing with the regulars. I can tell they enjoy working here! I don't come to Orange very often but would definitely grab coffee here again if I'm in the area and would highly recommend this place. This place is doing something right and by mere observation, I can tell they will continue to do so for years to come! Kudos!

Unfortunately, this visit was one disappointment after another. We arrived at 8:30 a.m. hoping for a peaceful coffee-and-breakfast morning. Instead, we accidentally wandered into what felt like a Janis Joplin tribute concert. The music was blasting at nightclub volume--not exactly the relaxing start to the day we had in mind. But surprisingly... that wasn't even the worst part. The food was incredibly disappointing. I ordered the breakfast burrito, and the potatoes were still raw--hard enough to remind me they were once part of the ground.. My husband ordered the French toast, which looked suspiciously like it took a quick detour from Trader Joe's frozen aisle before landing on our table. There's nothing wrong with frozen French toast... unless you're charging $14 and calling it brunch. Another friend ordered the granola with berries. After a few bites, he gave it a skeptical look, pushed the bowl away, and decided breakfast simply wasn't worth the gamble. The coffee was decent , but honestly wasn't worth fighting the neighbors for a parking spot!

The aloo paratha was okay, but the gobhi paratha was poorly prepared--the gobhi filling was falling out of the paratha with every bite, making it very difficult and messy to eat. After our meal, we wanted to wash our hands. Since we had just eaten inside the restaurant, we were surprised when a Male employee at the front desk told us that we had to use the hand-washing facilities outside because the restaurant restroom are closed as there are outdoor restrooms for the international festivals. What made the situation more disappointing was that shortly afterward, a woman customer came in and was allowed to use the restroom inside without being directed outside. Seeing different instructions being given to different customers made us feel that the rules were not being applied consistently. Additionally, my wife ordered a cookie that was extremely dry and tough. Overall, this was not a good first experience. The food was average at best, and the inconsistent treatment at the front desk left a particularly bad impression. I believe every customer should be treated equally and given the same information and access, regardless of who they are.

The place was quite busy but we were able to get a nice table with benches for our party of 4. I grew up drinking authentic indian chai so my expectations were high- I was drawn to try this place for the fun of drinking the chai from the clay cups I'd seen on social media :) That said, I was not disappointed by the chai, the food, or the decor. We ordered the butter chicken wrap, the chili chicken wrap and an aloo parantha. We wanted to try the tandoori chicken wrap, but they were sold out that day. We really enjoyed everything except the chili chicken wrap- we didn't find it very flavorful and wouldn't order it again. The wraps come with a yogurt-based cilantro sauce but I found it to be too liquidy to properly dip the wrap and the plate it comes in makes it very awkward as well. The aloo paratha was really good- not overly seasoned but it had a very authentic flavor and came with traditional indian pickle condiment on the side. The decor is very authentic but not overwhelming and the place had a nice vibe to it. The staff were friendly and helpful when we were deciding what to order. We are looking forward to going back again and trying more of the items!

I am OBSESSED. I was visiting California from New York and my sister and brother-in-law would NOT stop raving about Hood Coffee in Orange... and now I completely understand the obsession. I got the Mazapán coffee and OH. MY. GOD. It was DIVINE. I love when a coffee flavor actually tastes like the thing it's supposed to taste like--and this had the REAL mazapán flavor and those little chunks of goodness that made every sip absolutely perfect. I'm not exaggerating when I say this may have been the best cup of coffee I've ever had in my LIFE. I literally went almost every single day I was visiting California. And because my family knows me too well, my brother-in-law even brought me one on my way to the airport. I sat there and drank the ENTIRE thing before I even walked through TSA. That's when you know it's serious. Hood Coffee, you have officially ruined regular coffee for me. I'm going back to New York now and I'm already mourning the loss. Literally perfection in a cup. If you love mazapán, GO. If you love coffee, GO. If you're breathing... honestly, GO. 10/10. 100/10. Would fly back to California just for this coffee. read more

i loveeee Hood Coffee! I've been coming here for about 6-7 months, since they were in Santa Ana. I don't usually love coffee shops - I never find coffee better than what I can make at home, and they're always too bitter or just not what I'm looking for. However, Hood Coffee has me craving their coffee on a daily basis!! I used to come 3-4 times a week! The horchata viet and cookie butter are to die for. I even got my non-coffee loving boyfriend to love their coffee! Their service and kindness never ever goes unnoticed in my eyes. The owner, Diana, has been so sweet to me and I see how much her work and customers mean to her. I doubt I will ever find a better coffee shop! read more

The Hood Coffee in Orange is a hidden gem, and their Vietnamese coffee is on a whole other level! It's hands down the strongest coffee I've ever had -- it'll keep you buzzing for hours. I wish I could visit daily, but since I can't, I make sure to grab a jar of their Vietnamese coffee to keep me going for a few days. The staff here are friendly and hardworking, and the cashiers are sweet and humble, which just adds to the great experience. If you're a coffee lover, you absolutely have to try it. It's the next closest thing to being struck by lightning, in the best way possible. Highly recommend! read more

A huge thank you to everyone who came by and showed us nothing but love and support! As many of you know, we're fortunate to have a small pop-up space in the bakery. However, we're limited in both space and storage for our supplies. This sometimes means we may run out of certain items, and wait times may be longer due to our small team.

Honestly, I don't really understand the hype around this place. I've given it a few tries, hoping it would get better, but it's just been inconsistent every time The coffee itself is hit or miss, and for a spot that focuses on coffee, that's kind of a big deal. The space also didn't feel very clean on my last visit, which made the experience a bit uncomfortable.
