    Garlic knot five dollars
    Tina L.

    Drinks aren't the cheapest but not as pricey as LA. The seasonal drinks are priced around 7 dollars. I tried the banana oat Matcha latte less sweet and really enjoyed the strong earthy taste of the Matcha. The banana flavor, though was more subtle, but I liked how it wasn't overly sweet. They do have quite a variety of pastries and even bagels with cream cheese. They had run out of the spinach, mushroom danish when I had gotten there, but I did try the garlic knot, which was five dollars and very crispy when warmed up enjoyed it with my Matcha. They have plenty of chairs and seating even a couple of tables outside I liked the availability of outlets against the wall. This is a very decent place to work or study from although I wouldn't say it's the quietest place to take a meeting if you're working from home it is even a great place to catch up with friends.

    Super cute coffee shop! This is a great spot to meet with friends or hunker down for a study/work session. There is plenty of parking and seating with some plugs available. Their coffee and match never disappoints, and the baristas are super welcoming. I'll definitely be back!

    Matcha, Black Sesame latte, Cinnamon morning bun

    Great cafe in the Irvine area! It's located in a small business-center location. Super easy parking, spacious inside with plenty of outlets, and there is a good amount of seating inside (outside has only a few tables). I love the Black Sesame latte - have tried many before and the quality of the black sesame paste is the best I've had. Great quality espresso too but not the best I've had. Also tried the cinnamon morning bun pastry - was really good. They have a small but well rounded selection of both sweet and savory pastries/breads from their business partner Goodtown Doughnuts (great business move). Service is really good. They have long lines but move fast without sacrificing quality. I love how they have a clean area to put your dishes when you're done - it's clearly labeled next to the trash and recycling. I'll be back in the future! They seem to have other great coffee/matcha flavors so I'm excited to try more of them.

    Best coffee ever--seriously, get the sesame latte! It's unique and so good, definitely the highlight. I will say, don't expect the friendliest service. It's more of a grab-your-coffee-and-go or sit-and-study type of place rather than a super welcoming vibe. That said, it's a great spot if you're looking to buy quality coffee beans or just need a chill place to study. I rated it 3/5 due to terrible customer service. An Asian girl helped us with colored hair and she gave us attitude when ordering and didn't greet us. I really wanted to give 5 star due to the coffee but service is poor.

    Delicious black sesame latte! I recommend no alterations, though Oatmilk is a must! Servers explain what decreasing sweetness is just less of the umami black sesame. Great suggestion! I'll listen next time :) great place to work, meet and greet, or have a quick coffee with friends. The movie this week was fantasia!

    Geisha pour over
    Katie O.

    Hidden back in the office buildings is a gem! Don't go by too fast, you might miss it! There is ample parking and simple signage. I love the vibe & the laid back atmosphere. The barista's are SO friendly and have great recommendations. The Geisha pour over was recommended and it did not disappoint. Perfect temperature and you can taste the time that goes into this art! Smooth flavor, no burnt taste, and no need for any condiments! My friend got the almond croissant...I politely declined to try it as it looked so good that I would've wolfed it down. Already making excuses to go back!

    Iced latte (oatmilk) with black sesame cream top.

    My favorite thing about Roosevelt Coffee is their seating options. Inside the shop, expect a very spacious and welcoming environment that is perfect for studying. Their coffee and hojicha lattes with their various cream tops are very good. The pastries are delicious, I love the tomato bacon croissant and the turkey and cheese croissant. The staff is very friendly. If you want a perfect spot to get work done or study, I suggest you go to Roosevelt Coffee!

    I'm loving the vibe of this place. Totally reminds me of Bay Area and The Lab Anti/Mall Vibes. The decor is modern, smart, elegant, and sophisticated. A lot of college students seem to flock to this place. Their drinks are unique, high quality, interesting, and sophisticated as well. Cookiewise, it's more on the soft and chewy side. Personally, I like crisper cookie. The only down side is it's so popular that it may be hard to find yourself a seat.

    Banana oat matcha and latte
    Karen L.

    I got the Banana Oat Matcha and my friend got the Latte. Tried to be adventurous since I usually get the Honey Jasmine Matcha Latte. I usually never get the banana matcha latte but this one was pretty good! Overall really like the vibe of this place, it feels super cozy. There is definitely a lot of seating in this area for catching up or studying. However, there was also a lot of people and can possibly get crowded.

    There must be something in the coffee... Inside a business complex is a coffee shop with a sleek, modern feel inside. The line was going out the door on a Saturday Morning, and the inside was bustling. I believe this is one of the few new roasters in the area, so the traffic was expected. The Black Sesame latte was delicious. At first there wasn't much flavor, but duh, you gotta mix it up a bit...and after that the flavor came through in spades. Real roasted black sesame flooded my taste buds. Service is great, fast, and efficient. No complaints here!

    This place is super cozy and nestled in an area that doesnt have another sit down coffee shop. The inside has a mix of booth seating and comfy sofas, which makes it a nice place to actually study or hangout. They also have some board games available too! There's no outdoor seating, so it's not really pet-friendly if you're hoping to bring your dog along. But if you live in the apartments or houses nearby, it's a really quick walk over I tried the black sesame latte (iced). I would recommend it! It wasnt too sweet and had black sesame chunks at the bottom for a sweet crunch

    This time my coworker and I ventured over to Roosevelt! Irvine is a weird place with its coffee shops sometime tucked into business parks, so if you feel like your in the wrong parking lot, your probably in the right one, just gotta let the gps do its thing or maybe drive around for a minute lol. Walking in Roosevelt is pretty chill inside, plenty of tables and seating great for studying or getting light quiet work done, as it seemed that's what most people there were up to. Be careful of the back booths! You must have your full party of 2 or more in store within 10 minutes of seating... or else! (Jk to the or else ofc) The staff were friendly and the drinks came out quick so that's always a good time! This time out tried the black sesame iced latte. I love it when a latte comes out and visually peaks my interest and this one did with the streaks of sesame (it looked cooler when first served as opposed to as pictured, trust me). The sesame flavor was subtle but yummy, the coffee was good, and the sweet and coffee balance was nice. 5/5 black sesames, would come again! Thanks!

    This is a very nice coffee shop with a friendly staff and some very good espresso drinks made with Sightglass beans. This was a pleasant surprise because Sightglass is one of my favorite roasters :) I had a nice Cortado, rich flavor with a creamy texture, and my Son had their Iced Banana Oat Latte which he said was very flavorful. Both drinks were excellent! The shop is neat and clean featuring an open design with plenty of seating and lots of windows. Its especially nice if you like natural light :) It was fairly crowded considering it was the only open business. The crowd was an equal mix of students studying and people visiting with friends. Roosevelt is located in a office park so there was plenty of clean free parking at least on the weekend LOL

    Does espresso come in the black sesame latte?

    Yes our black sesame latte is made with our standard double shot of Crown Point espresso, house made black sesame and steamed milk. You can add one of our cream tops for a velvety treat. We also offer black sesame matcha latte if you prefer matcha… Read more

    Which Sightglass beans are used for the latte here?

    We use Crown Pointe blend for all of our espresso based drinks.

    Do you have sugar-free syrup?

    We do not have sugar-free syrups. We do have self-serve agave syrup, simple syrup and stevia packets.

    Are they really closed on Sundays?

    Just got an email that says they're now open on Sunday 8-3 starting April 6

    Is your coffee organic and do you have Good Mylk or similar?

    Hi Ashley, some of our blends like Crown Point Espresso and Blueboon Cold Brew are organic. We offer oat milk from Ghost Town Oats as a milk alternative.

    For the scone, does it served with cream and jam?

    No it does not, I got mine with just the scone

    5 stars for the goma matcha latte and milk bread with crunchy pearls!…read more The goma matcha latte 5/5 had a black sesame paste that was like the black sesame version of smooth peanut butter! One could probably eat it by the spoonful! Such a complex flavor complement to the matcha latte. The matcha latte (4/5) felt fairly strong (I estimate 4g at least), and the mango puree tasted real/ fresh but was nothing special. However, I did like that it was not too sweet. Caveat: I am partial to mango/coconut milk or mango sticky rice matcha lattes. The goma matcha was worth the $8 pricetag. Tip: Matcha Mondays=10% off matcha drinks! The mango one maybe was worth it due to the amount of matcha, but I do feel like I could make it at home. The milk bread ($5.50) was soft, with a delightful bursting sweet cream filling topped with those shite pearly crunchies-- unique and delicious. I also loved the kinako an pan (sweet bread with red bean filling, $5.50) because of the nostalgic flavors, but also because the azuki bean had a nice crunchy sugar quality. It was on the drier side the day after purchase, but I enjoyed it. Service was cheerful and speedy. The space is pretty large with probably as much outdoor seating as indoor, and there were a few open spots at 1:30 on a Monday. Parking was plentiful in the shared plaza lot with some shady spots.

The mango cream bread had a good amount of cream and the filling was delicious. The chocolate cookie was good but so hefty. I ordered the matcha cheesecake and original cheesecake thinking it was the soft and fluffy texture but it had a thick consistency. The matcha was good with a very strong matcha flavor and the original had a slight lemon flavor. I enjoyed all the food and sweets here, but a bit disappointed with their drink portion.

There are 3 indoor tables, 3 outdoor tables, and a long counter where customers can stand. I ordered one of their special signature drinks, an iced mint cold brew. A look into their pastry case led me to also request a raspberry danish. The single person behind the counter who was taking orders and working as barista was not exactly charming but it was understandable as she was slammed with multiple customers right when I arrived. My order was presented within a couple minutes (she was great at multitasking!) and I sat out on the patio. The iced mint cold brew was refreshing and was like drinking a box of Campfire Girl mints, both chocolatey and minty (sidebar: I am so sad that, as of last year, those mints are no longer made). It essentially was a mocha made with coconut milk and mint syrup; I really liked it. The pastry was rather dry but the raspberry filling was vibrant in flavor and not overly sweet. The vibe is more of a place for hotel guests to have a business meeting or to grab something prior to dashing off to a corporate event rather than just a place to hang out. But it's also a great option if you are near the Irvine Spectrum and just want to stop to quickly get a coffee drink and sit for a short break.
