    Coffee beans
    Erika N.

    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.

    Call in to place your fresh roasted beans order so you don't have to wait when you get here. 1/19/2025

    It's a new year and Mameya still continues to deliver great tasting coffee with excellent service. This place just makes me happy from the moment I walk in. The atmosphere that they've created here is unique and while many coffee shops try to do, they just don't do it as well as Mameya. Coffee, especially black coffee is their thing here. I personally love lattes, but I also have a thing for really good coffee and Mameya delivers every time! We always choose one of their pour over ($6) coffees and it's always a surprise on what the flavor profile will be since it changes frequently.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Coffee beans!

    The aroma, the authentic hospitality, the rich and untamed taste will be very hard to find after you try this place. I have family and friends drive 8 hours for this coffee. The service is amazing, as always. While they are very professional you will also feel like you are the guest they have been waiting to greet. Thank you!

    Professional Coffee Roaster If you would like to explore more single origin coffee beans, pick your own beans, and ask question about the way it roasted here is the right place to go to I have seen multiple original coffee beans sold in the store or so called roasters. However, this is the only roaster roasts your order professionaly and RIGHT in front of you. Not only would they tell you every detail of the beans, they also show you how they handle the beans. In the end, they will provide suggestion of amount and storage. If you breaks down by the weight, I think it is very cost worthy! You drink the most fresh coffee bean!

    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!

    Wonderful craft coffee house in South County. Mameya Coffee Roasters is a Japan based coffee chain that is starting to spread to California. They focus on single origin coffees from all different coffee powerhouse regions. Their preps are simple... Pour Over, Auto Drip, Cafe au Lait. You can get things hot or iced. You can also add a flavored syrup to your drink for an extra $.50, but they do not do any crazy themed flavor drinks. They just let the coffee shine because they carry very good roasts. I tried their Cold Brew and their Iced Cafe au Lait. Both were stellar. On the cold brew the bean profile really comes out. With the Cafe au Lait it's just enough milk while still letting the coffee nuances to poke out. If you order a hot drink you have many more bean choices. They also sell bags of beans that you can take with you. They do not have crazy lines here, but they have a steady flow of customers from the times I've visited. Stop by for some great coffee if you are in the area, there aren't many better coffee houses around the city!

    The concept behind Mameya Coffee Roasters is awesome, and the outstanding quality is made even more compelling with very reasonable pricing on their menu. I'm not much of a caffeine person myself and my favorite among their decaf varieties is the sugarcane process Colombian coffee - it's a better flavor for a coffee for me. They sell Brio Brio's awesome mini brownies here, which are super moist and only $3.50! The people here are the best and they all speak Japanese, which makes me feel like I'm in Japan or at least reconnecting with it, which I'd like to do more often. They are also right next door to Okayama Kobo, which is spectacular. The vibe is orderly yet causal and there's a real air of true dedication and professionalism that makes Mameya a memorable cafe!!

    Medium roast pour over
    Jenny L.

    I'm normally just an espresso girlie but have been wanting to try this place forever. The person who helped me recommended a pour over when I asked for something hot/without milk. Holy cow, I initially planned on just grabbing my coffee to continue driving but after smelling the coffee, I needed to sit down and just enjoy it while it was still piping hot. I got the memeya blend and it was so smooth, so warming. I'm so excited to come back to try other blends.

    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.… Read more

    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.

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.

If you prefer rich and bold flavors, this spot might not hit the mark for you. Hopefully they'll look into using a higher quality matcha in the future because the shop itself has a lot of potential and such a nice vibe.
