    The café au lait was a perfect cup. Mameya is an experience from the moment you walk in, from the aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans to the unique layout of the shop. There's a lot of care put into the experience, and the service is excellent. Once you've been, it's hard not to find yourself making your way back again.

    It's a rare thing, finding a place you know you're becoming a new regular at and this is one has entered that arena. I visited Japan late last year and it was the best travel experience of my life, so to have a little slice of it here in my little town of Laguna Niguel is so special. And it's open early enough for the Finance Girls! The word that comes to mind is authentic. The barrels of beans waiting to be roasted in the front, the minimal menu, the pour-over style coffee for every cup, the chic industrious decor, super friendly service from every barista. It's hard for me to want to make coffee at home when I can have this! Worth every penny. Can't wait to gift my loved ones with bags of their freshly roasted beans. Do not sleep on Maméya!

    I live in the San Diego area and have gone down to Laguna Nigel area specifically to get a bag of beans from Mameya! Their coffee beans are roasted to order, and there are so many options to choose from. I like to get the Espresso Blend, full city roast for my at home espresso machine. Waiting is key! If you can, I would wait 7 days before opening and using so the beans can properly de-gas and taste their best. Their hot and iced coffee selection is also amazing, always strong and balanced. If you're a true coffee lover, this place is for you!

    Mameya in Japanese means beans shop, derived from mame that means beans/peas and ya that means store.. I read that this is owned by a Japanese couple who has extensive knowledge and love for coffee. Tucked in a corner within a small shopping plaza by a Japanese bakery, Mameya is a micro roaster that offering coffee enthusiasts and connoisseurs an opportunity to select over a dozen raw single origin and blend beans. Excellence in every Roast. at Mameya, there is precisely. And passion to every bean. Service is great. The employees are very knowledgeable and friendly if you have any questions or inexperienced. The ambiance is intimate and rather small. There isn't a lot of space where you can sit or stand. Pros: I ordered their pour over common blend and it was solid. I also grabbed a 12oz bag of their Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Natural. It took about 20 minutes for them to complete the roasting process. After 4 days, I grinned the beans for a pour over and could tell this was already going to be a decent cup of joe. I did not see any significant bloom but the draw time was great based on my grind size. Cons: This shop is too far and too small so if there is a line and you don't have time, you might have to skip the experience. While I don't anticipate Mameya expanding, I would come back in a while.

    Little area to sit and chill while you drink your coffee

    I really think this place is so cute clean and I liked the raw vegan treat they had available. The only thing I was bummed about is they didn't have dark roast in organic. The service was great though.

    Fresh ground to order coffee at this hidden spot in So Cal. Not much space indoors to sit and work but very good service with kind people. Highly recommend!

    I've started dabbling in the art of coffee making with my own espresso machine. One of the most important 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!

    Friendly service and super knowledgeable staff who offered great recommendations on both of my visits. I am by no means a coffee connoisseur, but I really enjoyed the coffee. It was smooth and delicate, and clearly made with care. The café itself felt like a mini coffee museum and very educational, which made the experience even more unique. There is some seating available inside if you want to sit and enjoy your coffee.

    Very nice staff and the concept is very unique. They can roast your beans to whatever wide degree they have available and it takes only a few minutes . My very picky brother considers their freshly roasted beans excellent and he's hard to please in the espresso game. There's some indoor and outdoor seating and it's very cozy and smells amazing. Definitely recommend for any coffee lovers.

    Mameya Coffee Roasters Mameya Coffee Roasters completely exceeded my expectations. I ordered a light roast pour over and it was honestly amazing. I usually do not drink coffee without cream and sugar, but this one did not need anything added. The flavor was clean, bright, and incredibly smooth, and you could really taste the quality of the beans. What stood out the most was the attention to detail and the dedication to quality from the staff. You can tell they truly care about their craft, from the precision in the pour over process to the way they talk about the coffee. It made the whole experience feel intentional and elevated. On top of that, it is a great place to study. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming, making it easy to focus while enjoying an excellent cup of coffee. I am definitely coming back to try more of their offerings.

    Swung by for a simple cup of coffee. Didn't realize I stumbled upon care in its purest form. Palm trees, open air, and plenty of courtyard seating, tucked into a calm neighborhood center. Quiet concentration behind the counter, steady hands, and no wasted movement. A solid lineup of roasted beans ready to take home. This is my kind of place. The pour over I had was smooth with a light, even sheen and no oil slick. A deep brown color that points to good extraction and fresh beans. Exactly how it should be. Precision, start to finish. I will be back for some of those beans.

    Iced cafe au lait with 2% milk. Gentle and delicious

    Menu: Limited specialty drinks, but lots of coffee options Drink adjustability: Offer alternative milks/sweeteners Seating: Limited indoors (bar seats/4 comfy chairs), 5-6 outdoor tables Crowd: Not terribly crowded, drinks made quickly Parking: Shopping center Features: 2 family restrooms Came to Mameya on a Sunday late morning. The weather was beautiful, so we sat at the tables outside, but be aware that there's not a lot of indoor seating/outlets so it's not ideal for studying. Baristas were very kind and happy to answer questions, and the drink came out in less than 5min. It's right next to Okayama Kobo too so you can always pair to two together for a lovely snack/drink. I tried the iced cafe au lait with 2% milk and sugar free vanilla syrup. The drink was gentle, not too sweet, and the coffee itself was incredibly quality. Robust, low acidity, no sour aftertaste. I didn't catch the specific bean they used, sadly. You can also buy coffee beans here if you're an afficionado!

    ove this cute little coffee shop next to Okayama Kubo Bakery! Last Sunday, a few friends and I came here to catch up and work on some things together. The shop is small but super aesthetic and cozy. What really caught our attention was their wide selection of coffee beans -- so many varieties to choose from! This time, we decided to skip buying beans and just enjoy the drinks instead. We ordered café au lait with whole milk and another with almond milk -- both were absolutely delicious. One of our friends was hoping for an espresso, but unfortunately, they don't serve it here. Still, it wasn't a dealbreaker -- we had a great time sipping our coffee and chatting the morning away. There's plenty of outdoor seating, though indoor space is limited. The parking lot was pretty full on Sunday morning, probably because of the gym in the same plaza. Overall, I had such a fun time and wouldn't mind driving from Irvine again to try more of their drinks -- and maybe grab some beans for my own machine next time!

    Ask the Community - Maméya Coffee Roasters

    Can green beans be purchased for roasting at home?

    Yes, that’s possible. However, since we don’t set our own prices for green coffee beans, we ask that you purchase them at the listed price.… 

    Is this business related to Koffee Mameya in Tokyo?

    No… We related Mameya Coffee in Kobe and Yokohama.

    Do they have coffee in Kurid coffee cartridges?

    I don't think so as they roast beans to order. You could use a reusable K-Cup coffee filter, but if you go to that much trouble, it may be a better idea to go with a Hario V60 and do pour over. It will taste much better.

    Does anyone know what's the website or number to the lady that sells the candles inside the shop?

    It's sunseacandles.com. Her Instagram handle is @sunsea_candles. https://www.instagram.com/p/DT5ldQLgGJV/?igsi=MTJ6Z2ExbHhrOTZ4Ng==

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.

I was running errands and felt the need for a bit o' espresso. The small parking lot was full but I found a spot on the street. I followed the signs from the parking lot to the inside of CrossFit. Immediately to the left when I entered stood a coffee stand where I was greeted by a charming young woman who took my order - a Madagascar (basically a vanilla bean latte).

You can sit at one of a couple tables inside and enjoy your brew while gawking at hardbodies working out or sit outside in a small area designated for customers.

    This is kind of funny…read more After work, I was searching for a coffee shop nearby like I usually do, but nothing really caught my attention. So I decided to search outside the area where I live, and that's how I ended up finding this place. The funny part is that I had actually been wanting to visit this coffee shop because I saw their "Fun Flight" menu and thought it looked so interesting. I kept telling myself that I had to come try it someday. But when I searched this time, I was actually looking for a real coffee roaster and ended up here without even realizing it was the same place. Parking was easy and there were plenty of spaces. There are also other shops around, so I don't think parking would be much of an issue. The coffee shop itself was clean, bright, and nice and cool inside. I noticed one of the employees carefully cleaning the glass, and they kept wiping down empty tables and windows throughout the time I was there. Honestly, I've rarely seen someone cleaning so consistently at a coffee shop, and I really appreciated it. It made me feel like they genuinely care about cleanliness. Since it was already afternoon, I wanted something decaf, so I asked if they roast their own decaf coffee. They told me that they roast everything themselves, which immediately gave me more confidence in the coffee. I ordered a flat white and sat down, but then I realized I had completely forgotten to say "iced." Sure enough, I saw the employee making a hot drink. Well... that's totally on me! Soon my coffee came out with a beautiful latte art on top. And then I took my first sip... Oh my goodness. This is GOOD coffee! There was a slight acidity at first, but as I kept drinking, the acidity faded and I was left with a smooth, nutty, creamy latte flavor. I personally prefer medium roasts over dark roasts, and this roast was exactly my kind of coffee. Now I'm suddenly very curious about their matcha, too. I also liked that the overall pricing wasn't too expensive. The Wi-Fi did seem a little slow at times, but it wasn't slow enough to really bother me. And now I'm still sitting here debating whether I should order the matcha latte... The coffee was definitely delicious, and I already know I'll be coming back. Next time, I'm absolutely getting the Fun Flight so I can try several different coffees! Great coffee, clean space, friendly service, and reasonable prices. Definitely worth another visit!

    Came here on a whim yesterday to nest and study and I am so glad that I did! The coffee shop had…read moreplenty of seating and was very clean (I'm a neat freak so was definitely happy about this). They also had several outlets for to charge devices if needed and delicious air conditioning. The baristas were very friendly and kind and the atmosphere felt very comfy and relaxing. I especially liked their very chill music playlist. I ordered: - iced matcha latte w oat milk and vanilla (barista recommended) - banana oatmeal with cinnamon, peanut butter and choco chips - plain bagel w cream cheese I really enjoyed the iced matcha, it is probably one of the better ones I have in OC. The matcha was super smooth and with the addition of the vanilla it created a sweet happy layer to it. I need to come back to try the other drinks! The banana oatmeal, while looking very tasty, didn't pass my satisfaction meter. The oatmeal in the bowl was cold and it was a thin layer of oats that laid on the bottom of the bowl. Presentation great, but for 9$, I would have wanted there to be at least 1-2 more scoops of oats in there to make it worth it. The plain bagel with cream cheese, I really enjoyed. The bagel was huge and it has a good toastiness to it. Additionally, the cream cheese was very light, not too rich and it helped make a delicious carb. Overall, I would definitely come back here to try other drinks and pastries from their menu! I also loved that the parking lot is easy to access and there are ample spots! Definitely try this spot, if you're in the area!

A little more than that I think actually. I get it - it's a pricey area, they're a block from oven views, it's Laguna, I'm too broke to live and exist there but good Lord. All of that aside, it is a very cute shop, very cute merch, and very good vibes with lots of sitting areas. They even had a cute little corner with toys for kids to play with, which I love!
