The quality is on another level and clearly stands out from most places around here. The Mango Matcha (seasonal) was absolutely insane. If you're reading this review you need to try it. The Matcha with Cream Top was also incredible. The first sip was so thick and creamy that I barely got any matcha which is honestly a good sign. They stick to a more traditional approach and don't add sweetener unless you ask for it. Lastly, the pourovers. Some people might question the price, but take a minute to smell the different beans at the counter. You'll quickly realize that not every bean smells like coffee. The tasting notes actually come through and you can tell a lot of care goes into every pour over they make. Most drinks, aside from the pour-overs, are around $4.50 to $7, which is a far greater value for what you're getting in sheer quality. There are way too many cafes these days that focus on aesthetics and end up sacrificing quality. This place feels like it's run by people who genuinely love coffee and it shows in every order. Last note: they have their system down to a tee. The wait in line may be long but once you order it's super quick to receive your order.

Pretty cafe, with solid matcha lattes…read more I like the black and chrome interior with the car inside. I wish they brought the porsche back though. I got a matcha latte with vanilla cream top with vanilla sweetener. Easily $10 matcha but it was worth it. The seats are pretty tiny in the front of the cafe. If you want to lounge there are sofas at the back where the car is. Service is quick, friendly and they said bye when we left :) will be back!

Stumbled upon this adorable spot - I stood at the counter with serious decision paralysis -…read morehonestly wanted one of everything. Watched them make the Old School Crêpe right in front of me - fresh batter, strawberries, bananas, Nutella, and crème brûlée, finished with a blowtorch to create that crispy caramel shell. That first crunch was so satisfying, paired with the soft custard and fruit - pure heaven. Also tried the Yes to All Mango Sticky Rice Crepe - loaded with fresh mango, stuffed with mochi, coconut rice, and mango ice cream. Textures for days. Drinks were just as good - the Sesame Cloud was silky smooth with deep nutty flavor, the Watermelon Coconut tasted like summer in a cup, and the Mango Sticky Rice Smoothiewas packed with toppings. The iced lemon tea was also good. If you have a sweet tooth, this place is a must. Already planning my next order.

Went to Target today and noticed this new boba spot next door with a line out the door, so I…read morefigured I'd give it a try. Got the Watermelon Smoothie and the Black Sesame Smoothie. The watermelon tasted super fresh, and the black sesame had a really rich flavor without being too sweet. Both were really good. The real surprise was the crepe. Seriously so good. I wasn't expecting much, but it ended up being my favorite thing I ordered. Definitely one of the best crepes I've had in Irvine. Glad I decided to stop by. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

BEST BAGELS EVER!! With the awards and accolades to support it!!…read more My family and I tried the following so far: Egg Salad (5 out of 5) Smash Burger (5 out of 5) Lox (5 out of 5) Fruit (10 out of 5) All of the bagels were light, crispy, chewy and delicious. The kimchi bagel and cheddar jalapeño were our favorites. You don't feel heavy/greasy after eating them. Drinks: Yuzu Lemonade (amazing) Ube blueberry latte (delicious) Jasmine lychee? (Awesome) And the chocolate chip mousse cake was to die for. Service was amazing and they had plenty of staffing. Plenty of areas to sit and hang out in the area. Thank you for bringing amazing bagels and flavors into our lives.

We ordered 2 lox bagels on everything, 1 asian chicken salad on everything, 1 pb&j on cinnamon raisin, and 1 pepperoni pizza bagel - Lox: as some reviewers have mentioned, the citrus cure seemed to overpower the lox flavor/left us wanting more prevalent smoked salmon flavor. Capers would've been a great garnish. Tomatoes were fresh and juicy, pickled onions add a punch - Asian Chicken Salad: chicken was cooked great (not over or rubbery at all!), we all shared this one and we all were wanting more allium flavors or maybe even more salt- cilantro, more onions diced in, more green onions diced in, would've REALLY made the flavors pop. 2 friends out us 4 ranked this the least favorite. - PB&J: the surprise winner, it was delicious and really hit the spot! A friend was worried the cinnamon raisin would be way too sweet but nope, she said it was balanced and greatly made - Pepperoni Pizza Bagel: LOVED the crispy pepperoni cups. Ranch dip is a must and the hot honey was a favorite among our friends, I opted to enjoy it with just ranch. It made me want red pepper flakes + parmesan cheese so this was also a great bagel. - Bagels were on the lighter side which I personally like because I can enjoy cream cheese + toppings more. Many bagelries I've been to have thick bagels, which is great, but I get stuffed from all the dough (lol!), so I enjoyed the lighter bagels here, but they did seem a little over toasted, as in crisper/harder. Really wanted to share our honest experience here with the bagel flavors as Rise has gotten so popular. As few have mentioned, for the price, more exceptional flavor was anticipated, so it was a true 3.5/5 experience for me personally. They also do not allow any modifications whatsoever at all. We got there late, they close at 2 pm, but they let us know we can stay to eat, but we didn't want to keep them waiting due to us late stragglers so we went outside to eat and it was beautiful and really nice! Ample seating, beautiful view, just the occasional water sprinkling from the fountain(?) got on us and our bagels lol!
