Having a Coffee Bean at the airport is nice since it's almost always Starbucks and I actually prefer Coffee Bean. Only thing is the app doesn't work here. You can't even earn points which I really don't understand. The line was long but it seemed to move since it was early in the am. I got my usual white chocolate latte with 1/4 of the powder. It tasted like the usual so no complaints. It's more expensive but it's at the airport. SYOY! read more

Got a quick Turkey sausage egg sandwich here before my flight. They warmed it up and I like how the glass case is clear on how grams of protein these items are along with pricing. Makes it easier to narrow down my choices. Napkins are to the side. read more

My first time trying CBTF. I really enjoyed the dark chocolate ice blended coffee. When The drink was served, I notice that it didn't come w a whipped cream top which was what I wanted and they had no problem offering me one. This one is near gate 16. It was steady when I got there before my flight. The only thing I can complain about is that the drink is almost $8 which is a lot against the Canadian dollar. read more

Stopped by right before my flight for a must have coffee. The location is perfect, next to Gates 1-4. The line was long but the baristas kept it moving extremely fast which isn't always common for airport coffee. Amazing taste in menu items because hazelnut is my absolute favorite and it was the promoted item. I waited maybe 2 minutes before my drink was done. The wait for your drink area is kinda small and awkwardly placed but I didn't wait long to really feel it. On a much busier day it may be hard to be there. Updating because i went back for a burrito and i was highly disappointed. It's 60% tortilla. The filling is very minimal so you're paying almost 8 dollars for some egg with your tortilla read more

If you are a fan of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, then rejoice as there is one located in Terminal C. I'm personally not a huge fan of this chain, and wish there was a local coffee chain or even a Starbucks. Though I don't prefer their product, the service has always been quick and cordial. As for ambiance or atmosphere, there is a nice aroma of coffee/tea from the stand even though it's a small airport kiosk. read more

Disappointed with my coffee because the sizing is off compared to actual coffee bean places. So I payed more for a typical small I asked for a regular. I'm glad they had a coffee bean shop though. They also didn't have whip cream and didn't understand what thick meant. Which means not as blended. It did taste good though but won't ever come again for that place I'll go somewhere else. read more

Best value in the airport for breakfast!! Ordered the breakfast burrito which has eggs, chorizo, tater tots and cheese and they put it in the oven to crisp up before serving. Cost me all of $7 and hit the spot perfectly! The line was a fraction of that at Starbucks. Find them in terminal 1. Would have given five stars if they had listed the ingredients and price on the posted menu. Had to ask but the gentleman was very polite and knowledgeable with my question. After hunting through the airport and bemoaning the alternatives of $13 takeaway sandwiches or even more to sit down at Ruby's or CPK I was very happy to have persevered and discovered exactly what I wanted without breaking the bank! read more

I normally like CBTL, but this location inside John Wayne airport is terrible. The pricing is way higher than your standard locations, which is to be expected... but on the flip side, the coffee also tastes almost unrecognizable and is majorly watered down! I noticed they use pre-made coffee, which I've never seen at any of their standalone locations before. I understand they probably do this so they can get out orders more quickly, but the quality and taste still matters too! Also, their toaster oven is currently broken, so they microwaved both my sandwich and croissant, so they were super wet, soggy and overall yucky. I couldn't even finish my drink and food, eek! read more

The service was friendly, though understandably a bit slow because of the constant crowd. The line may look intimidating at first, but it's mostly because orders take a while to prepare rather than an overwhelming number of customers. If you visit, make sure you have plenty of time and don't mind being in a crowded space. The drinks were good overall, but definitely on the sweeter side for my taste. I'd recommend asking for less sugar or using an unsweetened oat milk option if available, since even the milk seemed to add quite a bit of sweetness. One thing that was concerning was the seating. One of the chairs at our table was already damaged, and a member of our group unexpectedly fell backward when it gave out. Thankfully no one was seriously hurt, but it was a scary experience. We showed the staff that the chair had already been broken. The chairs are quite small and delicate, so I'd suggest checking your seat before sitting down and being a little cautious. Overall, it's a nice spot if you're looking for a cute café and don't mind waiting, but I'd recommend visiting during a less busy time and customizing your drink if you prefer it less sweet.

Parking is plentiful, however, the plaza can get busy during working/business hours due to the surrounding corporations..so heads up! The staff is super welcoming & friendly. They are efficient & the lines move quickly. The decor is uber modern and ambience is nice & chill. They are known for their quality baked goods. I especially love their cookies & Portuguese egg tarts. The creamy custard center and crispy flakey pastry & carmelized top is absolutely PERFECTION! My fav/go-to cookie is the chocolate walnut. RxFoodie tip! Ask for it warmed up ~ it's yummy, crispy on the outside & perfectly gooey inside. It's baked w/ imported Belgian chocolate, which makes it so decadent and paired perfectly w/ the pecans & walnut bits. It's heavenly. I haven't tried their drinks or other specialty desserts yet, but it's tempting..maybe next time. A solid bakery to try & high recommend!!!

Ensaymada (with Aged White Cheddar). Soft brioche bread rolled like a cinnamon roll with butter, sugar, and aged white cheddar on top.

I will have to say that their menu looked so appetizing but fell short. Their KRISP burrito was basically a super hard tortilla - not crisp, HARD and stiff - with very oily contents. Obviously, a breakfast burrito is going to have oil, but it was a bit much considering it was dripping out the whole time. I couldn't finish eating it. The matcha was pretty good but I think their food was such letdown so I wouldn't make the 30-40 min commute through traffic.

It was very minimalist in design and didn't seem to comfortable. They specialize in match and espresso drinks. I went with a pistachio latte and my friend went with a cookie butter latte. Pistachio latte ($7.75) - I enjoyed the strong and bold taste of the espresso used, it tasted smooth and was rich and aromatic. The pistachio flavoring was good, I wish there was a bit more as the espresso overpowered it a bit. My friend said his cookie butter latte ($7.50) was perfect, and the cashier had mentioned that those are their 2 most popular drinks. Overall we enjoyed our drinks. The seating area could be improved to be more comfortable and inviting. They didn't really have anything to eat except for some waffles which didn't look fresh in the display case.

Hidden House Coffee

HHC Coffee was a wonderful stop and a great way to start our day! I enjoyed the Strawberry Matcha,…read morewhich was refreshing, smooth, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. My husband ordered the Brown Sugar Maple Latte and absolutely loved the rich, warm flavors. We also shared the Ham and Cheese Pesto Croissant, and it was delicious--light, buttery, flaky, and filled with great flavor. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. One of our favorite parts was the outdoor seating area. We loved dining outside and enjoying the beautiful weather while sipping our drinks and relaxing. It created the perfect atmosphere to slow down and enjoy the experience. The atmosphere was welcoming, the drinks were excellent, and the food was just as impressive. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend stopping by if you're looking for quality coffee, delicious pastries, and a great outdoor dining experience!

It is unfortunate that as I was browsing reviews, another very recent review touched upon the…read moreservice experience here too. I came in today and was served by a blonde cashier who felt cold and unfriendly. She was very bubbly and warm towards the patron (who was also a white woman) before me, who maybe seemed to be a friend or a regular. They were chatting for a bit and when it came to be my turn at the register, her face completely fell and she did not welcome me or say any greeting. Just.....silence........so I awkwardly ordered my drink. Once I said my order, she turned her head to the specials menu, and had a cold, blank expression, which made me think that it was out or that they couldn't do what I asked. I asked her if the drink I ordered was available, and there was a long pause before she dryly laughed it off and said that she didn't register what I was saying. It felt like a lame excuse and it felt so awkward; so I just tried to be as polite as possible and continued with my order. I wanted to just sit down and leave asap. It was so disorienting because she had acted in a completely different way with the girl before me. I just shrugged it off as a bad day, but when I consulted my friend about it, she said that the same girl acted in the same way towards her. And then I came here to write a review and saw that another Asian woman seemed to have a similar experience, so it doesn't just seem like a one-off thing....

Aside from…read morecaffeinated options, they also have some caffeine-free drinks like Wintermelon Tea Latte, Sesame Milk Frappe, and Golden Barley Cassia Tea Latte. Tip: Be careful with the sweetness level here because it runs pretty high. I got 75% sweetness for some drinks, and they were still pretty sweet. At 100%, one of the drinks was way too sweet and I had to dilute it. * Wintermelon Tea Latte 5/5 - This was a very tasty drink with a unique flavor from the wintermelon tea. 75% sweetness was perfect. * Peachy Green Tea 2/5 - 100% sweetness was sickening sweet. It was like drinking sugar, and I could barely taste the tea or peach flavor. Once the drink was diluted, it was better. * Matcha Latte 3/5 (75% sweetness) - The matcha was very grainy. It wasn't bad at first, but the graininess became really distracting as I kept drinking it.

We tried the pork belly and the cubano sandwiches. They were excellent in every way. The cubano was true to spec. Tender ham, mustard pickles on a beautiful roll. Simply delicious. The Pork Belly was spectacular. The pork was tender and flavorful and the cucumbers, cilantro, onions and jalapeños made it a flavor delight. All on a delicious roll. Just writing this makes me want another one! However, there's one thing you do not want to miss. Their newest addition is Salt Bread. These are sold 4 to a package and and are like the yummiest croissant you've ever tasted. I was sitting waiting for my order to be completed when the owner cam out with a bit of one on a fork. I was hooked. They're already baked, but the instructions are to put them in an air fryer (we used a small convection toaster oven) for 2-4 minutes at 350. I also like them split and toasted. They're fantastic! You'll want to put The Sandwich Society on your restaurant list! (And you'll want Salt Bread in your pantry too!).

You can order and pay for your sandwiches on the kiosk. The worker was kind enough to give us a sample of their cheese bread. We ordered the Hot Pastrami Melt and the Bulgogi Cheesesteak sandwiches. The toasted buns on the pastrami melt gave a great texture and helped it from getting soggy. In contrast, the bulgogi sandwich was very wet and the bread felt more like a sponge at the end of my meal. The flavors were great but the sandwich itself was messy to eat. The service is great and they even gave us a cookie for each sandwich for free! It's a great place for a casual lunch. I'd definitely come back to try the other sandwiches.

The space is super clean and spacious, which made it really comfortable to hang out in. They also have a small shop inside, which was a nice touch and fun to browse while waiting for our drinks. The worker was incredibly nice and helpful, answering all our questions and making the experience feel really welcoming. We ordered the Black Sesame Hojicha Latte, Hojicha Einspanner, and Banana Pudding Matcha, and all of them were really good. The cream tops were especially thick and creamy, adding a rich, smooth texture to each drink. The Black Sesame Hojicha Latte had a nice nutty depth that paired really well with the roasted hojicha flavor. The Hojicha Einspanner was smooth and comforting, with that strong roasted tea flavor balanced by the creamy top. The Banana Pudding Matcha really surprised me. I usually don't like banana-flavored things, but as a banana flavor hater, this is honestly one of the best ones I've tried. It was creamy and well balanced, with the banana not being too overpowering and blending nicely with the matcha. Definitely a solid spot with good drinks, a clean and spacious space, and friendly service. Worth stopping by if you're café hopping in the area.
