This was my favorite find in Irvine this week! I was staying at the Hilton and everyone suggested this place for "real coffee" and that's the case- I returned a few times (it's a very short walk from the Hilton) and tried a few of their specialty and seasonal drinks- everything was great They also have very friendly and efficient service and [[HIGHLIGHT]]IG-worthy seating outside[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] - Cannot remember the woman's name that was so awesome but she's a Snoopy fangirl like me so thanks, chica! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a charming place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I went there on a Saturday morning and there was plenty of paid parking, which they validate for two hours. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I liked their French-style interior and additional seats outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the strawberry crepes and the mocha with oat milk. The food was ok, but the mocha wad too watered down. I can only assume they didn't shake the oat milk carton first, as that can result in a very watery drink.

This café has such a cozy European vibe and feels like the perfect place to relax, catch up with friends, or get some work done. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was warm, clean, and super inviting with beautiful indoor and outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We tried both the sweet and savory crepes, and they were SO delicious! The crepes were soft, fresh, and full of flavor. Perfect balance between sweet treats and savory brunch vibes. We also ordered the matcha latte and lavender latte, and both drinks were amazing. The matcha latte was smooth and creamy, while the lavender latte had such a light floral flavor that felt super relaxing and unique. The staff were very friendly and welcoming throughout our visit, and one thing I really appreciated was the FREE 2-hour parking, which made everything so much easier and stress-free. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outdoor seating area was peaceful and aesthetic, making it such a cute place for coffee dates, brunch, or even getting work done on your laptop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely a hidden gem in OC! Can't wait to come back again and try more drinks and pastries! read more

There's so many options.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Wi-Fi works excellently. They have a ton of sandwich and crêpe options. The coffee is great! No complaints. The staff was nice and really helpful when it came to finalizing my order.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, lovely decoration.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They serve delicious drinks, the s'mores biscoff one is decadent without being overly sweet since the drink itself is more dark chocolately.

Press & Moka - Outdoor side of building - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

2/27/26 Overrated. But, is it worth it? It took them quite a bit of time to acknowledge me with a very uncomfortable silence. I took off a star just for that. There was just that one customer ahead of me who happened to ask questions that took the staff 's attention for a while. There was nobody else in line besides myself. The barista just stared at me until he realized "oh yes, let me say Hi" I'm big on service it wasn't boding well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The aesthetics was impressive though, I will give them that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is small indoors, a good ) sets of tables/chairs to accommodate about a dozen patrons.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The pastry shelf boasted a few enticing morsels, limited but interesting selection. When the staff finally was freed from the customer who asked some long questions, she was attentive. I ordered what looked enticing, the S'mores Biscoff. In hindsight, I should've gone with my usual to compare to other coffee shops (hot oat milk latte). [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm thoroughly enamor with the spacious accommodations of their outdoor area. It was a very hot day in February but it was cool outside. There was plenty of tables & chairs, natural greenery & even a waterfall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One could really spend a good afternoon savoring a good cup here. The beverage was so tiny (see photos). For over $9, it sure was stunning (for its stature & content). It was more of dessert than a drink but it was delicious, if you prefer your beverage on the sweeter side. It is lovely though. Would I order it again? Perhaps not I will stick to my oat milk latte. The view: 5/5, drink: 3/5, service: 3.5/5 Will I return to give em a fair shake? Why the heck not? The view is worth it if in the area lol read more

Came by on a Sunday afternoon for some light breakfast. Parking is thru the structure so remember to get your ticket validated! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The cafe is tucked in a quiet office building space with lots of outside seating making a really nice peaceful breakfast.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was super nice and sweet and helpful. I loved the French themed menu, it takes me back to walking into a little cafe in Paris. They have breakfast items like croque monsieur, croissant sandwiches, and a wide variety of crepes. You could also turn any crepe into an omelette! My bf ordered the smores biscoff drink and we got a jambon fromage crepe, croque madame, and a Romeo Juliet crepe which is like strawberries bananas and Nutella. I loved each breakfast item, the crepes were made to perfection and my bf loved the coffee! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely coming back because we loved the vibe of this little spot so much.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Parking does not seem to be free since there's a security arm that's present once you get a ticket at the entrance of the parking lot. I stopped by this cafe after dropping my rental car off at green motion thats 10-15 min walk away from this location. I got a matcha latte, nonfat milk, and added lavender syrup to it. Service was quick and there's plenty of food and drink options available. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of indoor and outdoor seating at the cafe. In addition to that, there's more seating nearby outside the cafe as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bathroom is across the cafe inside the building.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would definitely love to visit again if I'm ever in the area because I enjoy the environment. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]i was really excited to try this cafe, it looked like a super cute and chill place to relax and enjoy the surroundings.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] To start, the parking is by garage only. They do validate but its already a hassle to find parking and walk over to the cafe. I ordered a smores latte, which was not good. The coffee tasted stale and the syrups tasted too artificial. The baristas and cashier were also not friendly. I wouldnt go back which is a shame because it looks like such a nice calming area to rest and relax. read more

Stopped by Press and Moka recently and was honestly so impressed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space feels warm and inviting without being overly trendy. It is comfortable and calm which makes it perfect if you want to relax or get some work done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The coffee was smooth and flavorful without being too sweet. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. Everything came out beautifully presented and tasted just as good as it looked. Service was friendly and welcoming which made the whole experience even better. If you are in Orange County and looking for a solid coffee spot with great vibes, this is definitely worth checking out. I will be back. read more

Press & Moka - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

I've been here a couple times before today. We decided to come today for Newport restaurant week menu. It's a pretty good deal for a drink, sandwich from their list, and two beignets. They do validate parking when you park in their garage for two hours. They have a wide variety of seating outside, only when the weather is nice. Otherwise, there's only a few tables on the inside. I enjoyed that they have several housemaid syrups. You can have your pic of coffee. So I really do enjoy their drinks. As for the sandwich, I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich on ricotta bread. It was actually more bread than fillings. The chicken I thought was lacking. But it did have good flavors. My friend's avocado toast looked good, but very small for the price. The beignets were basically two donut holes, so I wouldn't get that again. Overall, I would come back for their coffee drinks. SYOY! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This was a cute hidden gem coffee spot tucked in a corporate plaza near John Wayne Airport.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was already in the area for a medical appointment, and I was craving somewhere I could have lunch, matcha, and work on my laptop. Press & Moka was perfect for all 3. Parking was plentiful inside a structure, and validation was available for 2 hours. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place has a beautiful outdoor area with seating and string lights that I imagine look super pretty at night![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The coffee shop itself is small and cute, and at the time I went it was decorated for Valentine's Day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the nova lox on an everything bagel and a matcha latte. The lox bagel was delicious and came with a yummy dill cream cheese. The matcha latte was a great afternoon pick-me-up. Service was quick and easy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm always looking for dog friendly spots around OC, and next time I'm in the area with my dog I will definitely think of this place's big outdoor area![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

What a cute little coffee shop and more! Nestled in a little area along Von Karman, it's quite a delight! I was needing an afternoon snack so I walked over from my office just minutes away. The manager was so nice and helped my manager and I! We ordered a salad, a pumpkin loaf with chocolate chips and a mini muffin for my colleague! They also have other items on the menu, including Panini's and more. Service was fast. Staff was very friendly, the insight is very clean, and the vibe was just great! There was space inside for indoor seating. There's an outdoor seating area with cornhole, a water fountain, and I think there was a putting green too! Stop by here and support if you're in the area! read more

Ordered an iced matcha with vanilla syrup and it was perfectly sweetened while tasting authentic. Great indoor and outdoor patio.

Met up with a couple of friends here and all 3 of us had issues with either our order or the service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The set up of the place is nice but they need to get better workers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This little coffee shop serves up delicious coffee and some yummy crepes. I had the lavender latte, it was delicious. And for my crepe I had the Toscane Veg. It was good. There's plenty of outdoor seating so on the weekends you can enjoy the beautiful weather in OC. It's also a very dog and kid friendly place. They do validate parking so don't let that stop you from trying it out. read more

The matcha latte was super bitter with super cheap matcha powder. I asked the staff lady if I should get iced or hot and she recommended iced, I couldn't help but think this is because iced drinks are filled with ice. The mug design was asinine as was the latte art orientation and they really don't think about helping customers make photographable experiences. The beignet was very unmemorable. The staff lady was pretty darn rude when I ordered just a beignet and matcha latte (she wanted me to order more expensive items) and didn't even acknowledge me when I came to pick up my latte when it was ready nor when I brought it back after taking a sip because it was disgustingly cheap and terrible-tasting. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe was only half decent because of the location in a corporate plaza area with sunshine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Just a super cheap place that skimps on just about everything except trying to hook customers on impressions that can't be substantiated. read more

Wanted to try a new place and was really hoping to love this place but was overall disappointed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only upside is the cute outdoor area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Got an iced vanilla latte with oat milk ($1 extra for oat milk feels criminal). The oat milk was so overpowering I couldn't even taste the espresso - $7.50 for a super lacking drink. I went back to tell them and the girl working said they recently changed their oat milk and agreed that it wasn't very good. I had them make me a different drink and got a hot mocha. It was definitely better but the ink on the cup completely rubbed off onto my hand. This place needs some serious attention to detail. Unfortunately won't be back. read more

Press & Moka is a local coffee shop located in an office complex. They have a coffee menu, pastries, food and crepe menu also. I had the latte, which is on the lighter side. I also had the croissant, which was average. I would come back to try the crepes as the crepe menu is very extensive. I just didn't have the time on this day but will make time in the future as crepes are one of my favorite foods. Casual. Indoor and outdoor seating. Good service. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

I have been here about 10+ times now and finally reviewing. First service at press and moka is amazing because staff is very friendly and helpful. This place is located by a huge office and there can be a ton of people coming in and out, but it's still a great place to work. Now that said, besides service and ambiance, of course most important is the coffee and food. Let's just say press and moka have never disappointed me. I love coming back time and time again for my most famous order, a strawberry matcha and their lox bagel. Lox bagel: I have been to so many places and have ordered a lox bagel, but it's crazy that my favorite is at this small shop. Maybe it's the Persian cucumbers they add or the freshly squeezed lemon, or where they source their salmon, but sometimes when I consider not getting one, I just have tooo. It's a really awesome fast meal that entices me each time. Strawberry matcha: I am a fan of their strawberry matcha and I know they use quality matcha. That said, I am unsure where the strawberry flavor component comes from (syrup, powder). It's good and not overly sweet or concentrated so I am a fan of that, but it's definitely not a strawberry marmalade or natural strawberry. Truthfully that does not detour me, but in case that's something you prioritize the more you know:) Hope you enjoy! read more

Press & Moka Coffee is such a gem. The girls are incredibly sweet and genuinely welcoming. They always remember us, and they even remembered my Frenchie, Toast, after meeting him just once. That kind of care goes a long way. The coffee is always incredible, and their recommendations never miss. Even the ham egg and cheese croissant felt elevated and thoughtfully done, like a simple classic with a high end touch. The ambiance makes it even better. Inside feels like a cozy little Paris cafe with the wall art and charm, while outside there is plenty of seating to enjoy the sun or sit in the shade. There is even a small golf putt putt area that adds to the fun. It is the kind of place you want to linger at. read more

Tucked within a business complex is Press & Moka. This coffee shop is more of a coffee stop, with some limited indoor seating and a menu with a variety of items ranging from drinks, sandwiches, crepes, and more. I found them on Yelp and really liked their outdoor seating space so my colleague and I decided to swing by and cowork here. I really liked that they had seasonal drinks to choose from, in additional to their regular menu. I opted for the Dubai coffee, which had a strong mocha taste and a weak pistachio taste. Overall the coffee was good, but lacking the pistachio to make it more Dubai chocolate-y. There's free wifi and 2 hour parking validation if you choose to park in the structure. With the wifi, you'd have to sit pretty close to the coffee house in order to connect so you're limited on how far you can sit within the outside seating. The workers here are friendly and our drinks came out pretty quick. read more

Such a hidden gem! Ranked #2 on Yelp but in our book should be #1. This was the coffee shop closest to our hotel. Validated parking for 2 hours is a deal maker. Hidden in a corporate space, surrounded by buildings they offer two parking structure options. The vibe is so calming with all the plants, palm trees and fountain. Mikaela, our baritista, was super sweet. She made our order to perfection. Her attention to detail was appreciated. A large drip coffee with heavy cream and a dash of cinnamon and a hot latte, our drink orders are nothing fancy. We went back for refills they were so darn delicious. Until next time... read more

I was excited to see they are now open on Sundays, and there was also a good crowd enjoying breakfast this morning. I tried a seasonal drink, Pumpkin cold foam chai latte. It was super good and the perfect amount of sweetness. For food I had the Espanol crepe which had avocado and jalapeños. The avocado was really fresh but the jalapeños not so much, they looked and tasted like they came from a jar and was a bit bland. Overall, cute local spot to sit and enjoy a coffee on the outdoor patio. read more

Hidden little gem tucked inside a business center! Press & Moka is a small, modern coffee spot with a cute vibe, definitely feels like a spot you'd stumble upon during your lunch break or while working in this establishment. Heads up: parking is in a structure, but they do validate inside the shop, so don't forget to get your ticket reimbursed! We tried: Iced Tiramisu Coffee - bold & coffee-forward with just a hint of sweetness. If you like your drinks on the less sweet, more bitter side (in a good way), you'll probably this. Creamychino - this one's definitely for the chocolate lovers. Mocha-based, sweeter, & super creamy. Kind of like a dessert in a cup! It had cookie crumbles on top along with the cream. Overall, a cool spot with unique drinks. Not the biggest space to hang out for hours, but perfect for a quick pick-me-up or catch-up. read more

I got a cold brew with sugar-free vanilla syrup. I thought the cold brew itself had a funky flavor that I couldn't quite identify. I didn't really taste the vanilla so I asked the barista for more and she asked me if I wanted a half ounce or an ounce - I always appreciate when shops measure rather than just doing standard pumps. even after she added more I still didn't really taste it. It was a hot day and my ice melted very quickly. I asked what beans they used for the cold brew, and she said that it was a light medium roast from the Italian brand café Vergnano. my friend got a dirty chai latte with almond milk. She enjoyed it. it was on the pricier side. They offered two sizes. They accepted contactless payment. The up charge for syrup was a dollar. the barista was very friendly and helpful. She told us that there was an art gallery right across and that we should check it out and me and my friend did we made various small talk as well. the service was relatively quick. i noticed that the menu had a lot of very creative drinks, me and my friend had a laugh because we've never heard of a flat brown! there was minimal seating inside and it was a very small interior, but there were some nice outdoor areas to sit. I saw some flyers that they have live music events hosted outside. there were some small and simple decorations but nothing major. There was no restroom in the building, but there was one around the corner. They validate parking overall I was disappointed in the flavor of my coffee, but I had a good experience with the service and my friend enjoyed her . I would love to come back and review more items if they invited me back. read more

Disappointed :( Located nestled amongst corporate buildings, it was very easy to access Press & Moka on a Saturday morning. Guests parking in the structure, and parking is validated + free. The area is pretty, with plenty of outdoor seating and even some inside. The pricing isn't too bad. Service was fast. However... the coffee was just plain bad. It was very diluted and acidic. All three drinks my group ordered tasted barely of coffee. read more

Their baristas are always so nice! I got lucky to spot this place. When I stopped for a latte I tried their Coconilla which was to die for. I had to stop a few more times after that for the drink.

Wanted something different than Starbucks, and boy was I not disappointed. Coffee had a great flavor and the pastry's were amazing.

I was excited to try Press & Moka as it had been on my list for awhile but I was underwhelmed and disappointed unfortunately. I got the banana cream latte which I was excited about cause I love banana! When I first took the sip, it had a good flavor but after mixing it the banana flavor went away and it tasted watered down :( I ended up not drinking it. I did get their beignets, the Nutella and powdered sugar which was my favorite. Overall the coffee shop is cute and would come back to do work but the coffee wasn't good. read more
