    Super good Starbucks location that is large, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The entire interior is neat, organized, and modern with a huge coffee belt map on the wall. The food and drinks are prepared well, and the staff are very friendly.

    Never had an issue getting my customized drink at any other locations but these one. I order Starbucks on a regular basis at least 5x per week, like I mentioned Never had an issue till the past 3-4 times I had ordered at the Irvine spectrum location. I have to ho back to had them make it right, I tried giving them a few chances but after today I won't be spending my money here anymore even tho I work next door. I asked the barista to fill a little more of the cup since I'm used to getting it to the top, she replied with "you only paid for 3 shots of expreso" I showed her my past drinks which clearly are full. No wonder the have really bad reviews and bad ratings. Please stay away from this location. I got more foam than anything else. Hardly any caramel which I also asked for. I attached a Picture of my regular drink looks like at other locations.

    They have seating available outside & inside. I always do mobile order & they have it ready quickly! Took 1 star off bc parking in this lot can be a nightmare, depending on what time you come... I have questions for the designer of this parking lot. Anyway, either have a friend drive you & drop you off so you can run in, or just park far away & walk over :\

    I'm hooked into the Blonde Cortado which just perk me up with just the right amount of caffeine for me. Cortado tastes like a latte but not part of the latte family :) I like the ambiance here especially when it's raining looking out from the big windows is so calming.

    Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, with Chai Cold Foam!

    I really want to start doing this for Irvine spectrum stores to vouch for workers because as a food service employee myself, there are so many guests that forget they are being served by human-beings and many employees forgetting they are serving human-beings as well! That is why I would like to vouch for Sam for excellent customer service who made my morning by suggesting I add chai cold foam (I think?) to my iced horchata oat milk shaken espresso and it was delicious. She was super nice and thoughtful during my experience and hope to see her again the next morning I visit!

    Great Starbucks in Irvine. Access was easy. Parking was good. Next to Whole Foods Market, Marufuku Ramun and many eateries. Staff was all pleasant and helpful.

    Audry, unprofessional, lazy and very rude.

    I came in to get some work done, I ordered in house. The girl Adry who took my order was very disrespectful and lazy, refusing to make my order as asked. Which was a brewed coffee with steamed oat milk over ice. Claiming she couldn't put it in a glass cup with steamed oat milk?! She finally took my order, then delivering iced coffee in a glass no oat milk and said I could use the oat milk at the station! Following I asked for a wet napkin as using agave packets is messy. The barista whispered something and proceeded to get a cup of water directing me to get my own napkin. When calmly sharing I will be discussing this with a manager Adry burst out, What do you want me to do? I shared how simple it is to make a coffee with steamed oat milk and pour it over ice. Her response was the same, she can not put steamed "milk" in a glass claiming it will burst! Yet she put hot coffee in the glass? Again my request was incredibly simple and made to be a problem that didn't exist! Make the drink and pour it over ICE! The glass is not going to BURST! How absolutely ridiculous. As I continued my work I observed the manager on duty being fed food by Adry in front of customers which was BEYOND unprofessional and demonstrated the true lack of professional manners being operated at this location by this particular staff. Traveling all over southern Ca I have never had someone be so rude, disrespectful, lazy, ignorant, and unprofessional for such a simple request! I wouldn't recommend this location if Audry is working just expect unprofessional attitude! After coming the day before and having such a divine experience I was expecting to have the same today! Unfortunately that was not the case, although the only reason for giving any stars.

    I always try to stop by this Starbucks to grab my coffee and croissant. Everything is delicious. Staff is great, price is affordable. Highly recommend

    As usual, it's one of the best parts of my day. Everything was nice, organized, and the coffee was perfection!

    Iced Lavender Soymilk Latte, Lavender Creme Frappuccino

    I tried the new lavender drinks so you don't have to! Or do? I'm not a huge fan of lavender, but I like to try new things so take this review with a grain of salt. I wanted to try the iced lavender cold cream foam matcha, but I think they misheard me and gave me the lavender latte instead. It was pretty loud around the time I came by, so I don't blame them at all, I'll just have to try it another day. They had run out of oat milk today so I had it substituted with soy milk. ICED LAVENDER SOYMILK LATTE: The blonde espresso flavor kind of overpowers the lavender, so it's a bit muted but you do get an aftertaste of the lavender flavor. Not sure how I feel about this one, I think if you like their blonde espresso lattes and want a different twist then this might be a nice change. All I can taste though is burnt beans with an aftertaste of lavender. LAVENDER CREME FRAPPUCCINO: If you have a sweet tooth, this is kinda nice! It's reminiscent of fruity pebbles and the lavender flavor is much more prominent. Mine was a bit too icy, and was hard to sip because the ice chunks were too thick to go through the straw until it melted a bit more. I will definitely order this again but will ask for an extra scoop of lavender powder and double-blended. :)

I would…read morealways go in here to grab a sweet treat so I can sneak it in my bag and enjoy during the movies. Staff is usually nice for the most part and drinks come out quickly. My go-to is always the #1 which is the brown sugar crème brûlée deeorica milk drink. It's sweet, creamy, and filling. If you're not a fan of sweet drinks, this isn't for you. Occasionally I will crave something fruity and will get the snow strawberry smoothie. Those are the only 2 drinks I alternate between in all the years I've been coming here. I noticed on my recent visit they have a mochi series drink and sagoo series drink. It looks interesting but I haven't gotten a chance to try yet. Mayne next time.

I was fooled by that as well as the pictures (of non fruity drinks) and reviews... Actually the second worst teas I've ever had in my 15+ years of drinking boba. The quality of the tea is terrible and the fruit used doesn't taste or look fresh at all. I tried the strawberry green tea and the lychee green teas. The lychee tea I threw away after one sip, the strawberry tea I struggled with and couldn't finish either. !!!! Take a look at pictures people post of the strawberry green - it looks brown with a few chunks of soggy fruit. Let me tell you it tastes the way it looks. Anywhere else the same drink is naturally red with fresh fruit. I've also tried other fruit teas multiple times across several years since they opened in case I came on bad days. It was just as bad a week ago as it was when they first opened...Never spending a single penny more here. Perhaps the milk teas are decent, but I honestly don't know how they could be when the fruit teas are such a miss...

Every time we come here, we always get slices of their delicious honey cake which has the perfect level of subtle sweetness that I prefer. I'm not big on sweet stuff. I've also tried their Eggs Benedict which tastes better when you have it for dine-in. I wouldn't recommend ordering any of their breakfast items for take-out. Wait time is reasonable for made-to-order food items. Customer service is always outstanding. Every staff member I've encountered was super sweet, friendly, and patient. The shop is small but there are plenty of tables and chairs to sit at inside. Pricey but it's always a nice treat to come here when we're in the area.

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.
