I can't think of a coffee shop that feels more Irvine-coded…read more Pulling up in the private lot, I found plenty of parking behind every other white Tesla Y. In fact, it probably made finding my car it a bit easier because of it. Once entering the main shop on the right (see picture) the demographic leans more toward UCI students with laptop plugs galore, Korean mom's meeting up with pre-school children coloring in the corner, and your coaches for the local HS sports teams taking a quick break to refill their 2nd or 3rd cup of coffee. In terms of coffee, I tend to lean on the traditionalist side and like my drinks more coffee forward. This time I ordered a cortado that was just the perfect amount of espresso forward accompanied by milk that did not taste overly warmed/steamed. It may be a simple drink, but Roosevelt did it well. For those who aren't as pompous as me about my orders, I was still very impressed by the Asian and Asian-American takes on traditional drinks and pastries. Count me in as a fan. Outside the coffee, one of the tell-tale signs of a good shop is the baristas. Every time I come in I feel like the shop is run by not just some of the friendliest staff, but just the friendliest people I have encountered in the county in general. Overall, between the quality of the food, the prices, the staff, and the general warm environment it would be hard not to add Roosevelt Coffee to my coffeeshop rotation.

I first went to their sibling location CUP years ago and loved it! Came to a closer location from…read moreUCI before work. We have returned twice! Drinks: Hear me out, stick to their signature curated house lattes which is where they uniquely shine - Blue Hummingbird latte and Spanish Dark latte. The iced Hummingbird latte had blue spirulina and a mellow pandan flavor (kinda marshmallow taste). That's my repeated order until last time I tried the Spanish Dark latte with an added espresso shot. That Spanish latte took the crown, which carried me through whole day plus the cinnamon / vanilla duo was the correct touch of sweetness. I always get almond milk as alternative. These lattes are distinct from other locations focus on their espresso drinks. Food: I order their breakfast burritos which they give you an option of sunny side or scramble eggs. I prefer the classic breakfast burrito (no pork). It can compete with Coffee Dose and Herb & Ranch. Also, I gave soyrizo breakfast burrito a chance but a little too spicy in the morning for my tummy. Classic breakfast burrito to go with a Spanish Dark latte is my new favorite match. Service: I wanted to test the service for my own assessment after reading reviews. Honestly everyone was easygoing and about their work. Drinks and food came out fast which employees even gave utensils with greetings. Also they validated our parking no problem too. Ambiance: It reminds me of a hotel dinner lobby which tracks since it's a corporate Irvine building. I would ideally come here to write for change of location with their abundance seating. Small aside but their glass mason jar for water is cute

Upon walking up to the doors of the building, there is a kind man opening the door for us. His job is to open the doors and ensure the right patrons go in and out of the building. After walking towards the opposite end will be the entrance of the coffee shop. The cashier is immediately on the left and there are large amounts of sofas to sit on or you can walk towards the back to sit outside in the patio. The coffee shop is facing a large street with a tree and large area of grass. It's very nice and pleasant to sit and people watch. I had ordered a breakfast burrito with their bacon and their signature latte with almond milk. Their burrito was very fresh and hot! There are tater tots inside with delicious cheese. I wasn't a fan of their bacon because it was sweet maple bacon; it clashed with the savory taste of the burrito. Their latte was great! Not super sweet and definitely kept me caffeinated. Super nice coffee shop and I highly recommend it if you are within the area!

I've heard mixed reviews about their drinks, so I didn't have high expectations to begin with. But at least I can say I got to check them out!

I can't review all of the coffee because I only ever order the Sea Salt Cold Brew. I usually get cold brews black from other places, but this drink from BLK Dot has me in a chokehold.

That said, it has never actually taken 20 minutes to get my drink. I just think the digital system just automatically assigns +20 from time of order...which is why they get 5 stars!

BUT: Their blended drinks are spot-on. They serve the best blended mocha in the whole town, and I am a mocha enthusiast, so I've tried a variety.

It's the PERFECT balance between coffee and chocolate, which is important to me because I definitely don't drink mochas for the coffee part . I am loyal to this coffee cart and will always recommend this as the best. As a side note, they serve relatively cheap tea for the nights when I don't want to get a brain freeze :)

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!

It has more of a rustic cafe aesthetic and it's got a cozy and warm feel to it. We took a bit of time deciding on the menu since there were a couple of seasonal drinks like their Banana Matcha Latte, Banana Bread Latte and Honey Drizzle Latte. They also have a new menu of food items. I ordered the Chai Tea Latte with the Chicken Pot Pie (new) and my friend ordered the LaPaz with the Chicken Caesar Wrap. The drinks were super good. I really liked that they offer iced versions of both since it was a pretty hot day. The LaPaz is the Lost Bean's signature coffee blend. The Chicken Pot Pie was a bit on the soup-y side than a thicker broth, but the flavor was good. I haven't had a chicken pot pie in awhile. The wrap is a classic item on the menu. It got a bit busier after we ordered. It's definitely a good spot to go to if you're looking to catch up with a friend or if you are looking for a place to work. It is also attached to the Lost Vine, which is a good spot for alcoholic beverages.
