    cinnamon pastry
    Timmy S.

    I've had this place bookmarked for a long time. While recently running errands, I stopped in on a weekday late morning and was supremely disappointed. This place is located in a large business plaza with tons of parking. The interior has a lot of seating but when I arrived around 10:30am every single seat was taken (around 40 people were laptopping away); it was packed! This thwarted my plans to relax and enjoy coffee and pastry before driving home. I hesitantly decided to order to take home: a hot vanilla latte plus two items from their pastry case - a blueberry muffin and an almond croissant. The latte was blistering hot and needed the 20 minute drive home to cool down enough to drink. It lacked vanilla taste and just tasted burnt; thanks but I can get that at Starbucks. The cost of this child-sized cup was as much as most places charge for a large. When I opened the bag for my pastries, I was surprised to see instead of a blueberry muffin I was given a cinnamon roll with no icing - just sprinkled with lots and lots of cinnamon sugar. How can you mistake this for a blueberry muffin? She even repeated my order and I even directly pointed to it. The roll was fresh but with each bite, cinnamon sugar sprayed all over. After two bites and showering the table with tiny bits of sugary cinnamon, it got tossed. The almond croissant was the absolute worst pastry I've ever had. It was an embarrassment. The texture and flavor was like eating sand - unbelievably dry, crumbly, and flavorless. One expects an almond croissant to have frangipane or almond paste inside. This croissant was cut lengthwise in half and had a minuscule amount of some sort of tasteless cream spread between the halves; I couldn't even see it but knew from the moistness that something was there. I can't convey how truly awful this pastry was. The only good thing I can say was that the two women working here were nice even though they made a terrible latte and don't know what a blueberry muffin is.

    Love that they have kombucha on the tap from fermentation farm. Very busy place. Lots of people sit here for hours to do work and study. Ambiance is open and clean. Music is not too loud so you can focus. The service is nice. Only took off star because all flavored drinks are using syrup not puree. Otherwise, it would be 5 star

    Black sesame matcha with oat milk
    Sydney H.

    This place is so good, but wow can it be pricey! First off, love the vibe of the space - lots of seating inside with some additional tables out front, and a nice selection of board games to play with as well. Per the barista's recommendation I tried the black sesame matcha - with oat milk, this drink costs $9.75. Pretty expensive for a matcha if you ask me, but wow was it good lol. The black sesame had a delicious nutty flavor with a great sweetness level overall! Would love to come back here as a once in a while treat.

    Macha and coffee

    Really enjoyed this place! I had the iced matcha, and my friend got the iced latte--both were fresh, smooth, and delicious. The café has a cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and quick service. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to!

    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.

    Matcha, Black Sesame latte, Cinnamon morning bun
    Leah Y.

    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.

    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!

    Giovanna M.

    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!

    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!

    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.

The only reason why I am knocking down a star and leaving this review is because my celiac partner went and got a burrito and was told the spinach wrap was gluten-free and safe. We even asked the girl taking our order to check with the chef and she went back and said the chef said it was gluten free. The next day my partner had celiac symptoms and was sick. We went back to get breakfast another day and he was told the spinach was not gluten-free by the manager. So just leaving this here to let everyone know the spinach wrap is not celiac safe/gluten free.

It's just because I don't know what it means to practice financial discernment when it comes to fresh bread. And welllllll, look at who's back at Brio Brio Bakery & Cafe again...... I used to come here way more often back when I had recurring appointments in the area, but these days I rarely ever find myself in South OC. Tonight, however, I had a last minute opportunity fall into my lap when I was invited off the wait list to attend a Yelp Elite event at Onyx Golf. Naturally, I had to make an "unnecessary" bakery detour before moseying my way over to the actual main event. Listen -- you have your priorities and I have mine. We listen and we don't (critically) judge! Upon arriving to my old stomping grounds, I immediately went for my usual: the hojicha Basque cheesecake. Some things don't need to be reinvented. It's still rich and creamy as ever, and it's basically the reason I still come back to this place. Since I don't get down here as often anymore, I figured I'd live life a little more frivolously and grab some items I haven't tried before, such as their prime beef curry, kurobuta miso sausage, honey toast, and a GF brownie. My plan for a sweet treat quickly evolved into a larger commitment of carbohydrates, but honestly, I'd like to think of these items as a gift from past me to future me. Brio Brio is also running a promo right now where you get a free cookie with purchase during certain hours. I just want to be fully transparent that I don't remember what those hours are or how long the promo is running, just that it's a weekday ordeal. I know, incredibly insufferable Yelp Elite reporting on my part. You'll simply just have to go in and ask them about it or look for the signage near the register, and then purchase that item you need to qualify for the deal to begin with. Consider my review a very detailed advertisement about a potentially complimentary cookie that idk how to explain the sourcing means for. Lmao, my bad, y'all. Either way, it was refreshing to visit again after all these years. If you're stopping by Brio Brio, you really need to get the hojicha Basque cheesecake. That's singlehandedly the menu item I'll keep coming back for, even when it means I'll be suffering in rush hour traffic on the drive back home.

Inside is a café inspired by natural accents with an industrial flair giving a rustic character with modern style. The vibe inside is chill with plenty of seating for groups or singles. They also have an outdoor area with covered seating surrounded by plants. The menu delivers just as much appeal as the setting. They have an expansive list of coffee, tea, and lattes with several modifiers to choose from. To accompany your drink the menu provides options of sandwiches, bagels, and a variety of pastries. I had the smoked salmon bagel, featuring delicate slices of salmon layered over cream cheese spread, topped with capers and fresh chives. This is my go to for coffee houses that offer it. The bagel exceeded my expectations and I believe the chive's subtle flavor complemented the smoked salmon really well. For drinks we tried the chai and hot chocolate. The iced chai latte was smooth and not too sweet with a dusting of cinnamon on top, but I would rate it average in taste. The hot chocolate was deliciously velvety and detailed beautifully. I would rate it a five out of five! The difference at this coffee shop is that you can choose from a range of seating arrangements and have an opportunity to support the business by picking up clothing, a bag of coffee or other merchandise. The con for this coffee shop is that the beverages are somewhat undersized relative to the price point. In addition, the customer service experience fell short. We were greeted upon entering, but it was unclear where customers should retrieve their order or whether orders numbers were called out. With that said, those looking for a quiet morning coffee or a cozy place to catch up with friends, this spot can accommodate.

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.

    Thanks Kit! Had him make me a drink that I saw on yelp from 5 years ago called the "Honey Vanilla…read moreOat Latte" and he made it for me. Tastes exactly how the name describes it but that other yelper definitely had different preferences than me. Not a fan of the drink itself, but the vanilla latte that I had here was good. Their beans are pretty strong too, but I can't put a finger on what the flavor profile is. Didn't get a chance to try their food. There is plenty of seating as well as power outlets along with WiFi. Stop by when you're here in Santa Ana, it's part of an apartment complex.

    I still like coming to Huskins Coffee from time to time. However, I've definitely visited less as…read moreprices keep increasing. $7 for a hot Hometown latte and it really doesn't taste like anything special. I'm not sure if they still use the same maple syrup to flavor the latte, but it doesn't seem to taste as unique or as good as I remembered. Also, the beans they use for their lattes don't offer any notes that I can pick up. So, for a fairly average latte, it's expensive. The place used to feel more spruced up, and while the decor is mostly the same, it now seems a bit dilapidated. The restrooms aren't very clean, and there's a whole area toward the back that just looks sad. I can't really fault them for that part, because it might be due to renting or zoning issues as it seems like an unused shared space that just looks unkempt. Every time I've been here (on weekend mornings), there's usually only one person working, and sometimes it takes quite a while to get my drink if there's anyone ahead of me.

    I get the hype! Airoma Cafe constantly ranks high on the list of best matcha spots in Southern…read moreCalifornia. The cafe is cute with a small number of interior tables. They are located in the same plaza as Brodard, Vox Kitchen, Rol Handbar, etc. in Fountain Valley. This location is open later than the other Airoma. They use ceremonial matcha which makes a huge difference. I ordered the strawberry matcha latte (74% sweet) after trying one previously in LA. I paid and waited for my order to be ready. After a few minutes, I received my order. I shook it up and tried it. Delicious! Even better than I remembered. My husband who doesn't usually enjoy matcha, tried it and liked it. He does not dig the earthy taste, but this drink changed his perspective. Airoma made my husband a believer in matcha. We do not usually go out too often for matcha, but when I'm in the mood next, this place will be a must visit. I'll have to try their egg coffee in the future too.

    For a small shop, this cafe is busy with a line outside the door. There is limited seating indoors…read moreand the line can look intimating but it moves quick. They offer both coffee and matcha. We tried their OG egg vietnamese coffee and pandan matcha (no changes) to see how sweet they are. Their vietnamese coffee was strong and good but did not notice anything unique about it. The pandan matcha had a lovely note of vanilla from the pandan. It was a little too sweet for me, would recommend 75% or 50%. The nice thing is you can request a shot of coffee for free. No milk subs but oat milk is used for the matcha drinks.
