    Iced Ava Special
    Bethany M.

    Stopped in on a Monday morning around 10am. Plenty of parking available. Cutest little coffee shop I've been to. Loved that I saw a dog bowl out front before I even stepped inside. Outdoor and indoor seating available. Lots of coffee options available and a few bagels, muffins, and breakfast sandwiches available. Went with an iced Ava Special and a breakfast sandwich on an English muffin. The coffee was the perfect balance of flavors, sweetness, and coffee. I was able to get both items for under $10 which is amazing!! Cashier was super friendly and helpful. She gave me time to look over the menu and offered assistance if I needed it.

    Finished raisin walnut bar with cream cheese, an iced chai latte and flat white latte in my own cup...

    A nice lil cafe. Customers and their dogs are friendly and sociable and staff are also super sweet and kind. Coffee was perfect. Daughter's iced chai latte Very yummy and we shared a raisin walnut bar only because everything else was pretty empty at the hour that we came in, so that's obviously a good thing LOVE a locally owned cafe (not *bucks) that's been around a few decades

    A nice coffee house and hangout for locals. Great service and good drink variety. Average pastries. Outside and inside seating. Fair pricing.

    Playing Pokémon and enjoying good coffee!

    This is my go to spot! Don't go to Dunkin' next door and sleep on this place. This cafe may be small but it has hands down some of the best coffee drinks. The roasts they use are delicious and I'm an espresso / americano kind of girl. My husband loves their Villa Park cold brew. He compares all other cold brews to it! The service is great, we're always greeted and offered changes to our drinks if we're trying something new. Sometimes we've been able to try samples of the menu if we're unsure (like flavored coffees). There is a little seating inside and then some nice seating outside. It can be busy before 10am but after that is the best time to go, in my opinion.

    I came out here to try this place since it's close to my neighborhood. It was a bit of a struggle to find it because it was right next to the bank and easy to miss. When I came I found a line forming outside, and noticed that's there's very little inside seating. The staff is very friendly and they offer lots of substitutes! I will say that it's not the most quiet coffee shop, since it was hard to hear the other person speak from across the table. Overall my drink was decent, and the staff was friendly.

    Stumbled upon this little local spot and was happy to give it a try. I didn't know what I wanted exactly, but I knew I wanted an iced flavored drink. What do you know, the special was "Ava special"- and iced nutty coffee with caramel, chocolate, and cinnamon sprinkle. Perfect! They were out of regular caramel but subbed sugar-free caramel and that was fine. Minus one star for the lack of masks in that crowded cramped space. But I'd be back and maybe buy some coffee beans too.

    Iced vanilla matcha

    This place is so cute! I've come in twice now and loved my drinks both times. I got the strawberry matcha and vanilla matcha. I like my drinks sweet and they were perfect for me as made. The staff is so nice and friendly! I came in at 6:40am on a week day and there were a handful of people you could tell were regulars. They were all sitting together and chatting. One customer brought in a birthday gift for one of the staff. I loved that! So much better than chain coffee shops.

    Some of the worst coffee I have ever had, while being simultaneously the most expensive I have ever had.

    First time in Orange County Downtown. Pretty cool place. We…read moreactually stumbled with this place walking and thought it was super original a Coffee Bar inside an old bank building. Lots of space to sit, love the ambiance feel like you were in an old train station. Service was great, I had questions about some of the coffees and they took their time explaining it to me. For food they only had pastries but for coffee and matcha lots of interesting options. They have beans from various parts of the World, but mainly Norway!!! We got really excited about this. We ordered a Volcano Latte and a regular latte. The Volcano latte had an explosion of flavors topped with a smoked salted foam out of this world. My new favorite. I will keep on coming to try more things while in town.

One thing to keep in mind is that parking isn't free, and depending on the time of day, it can be a little challenging to find parking if you're just stopping by for coffee. I tried two different lattes and unfortunately wasn't a fan of either. Yuli, the barista, truly did her best to make it right and was so sweet, which I wholeheartedly appreciated. Her service alone made me want to give this spot a higher rating. That said, the lattes were a 2/5 for me. They tasted too milky, and the coffee had an aftertaste I personally wasn't fond of.

    I remember trying to go here a while back ago when it blew up on TikTok but ended up not sticking…read morearound because it was so crowded (and also because I got harassed by a neighbor outside who, in his own words, was trying to make people feel not welcome here because he was angry about people coming in and parking in the neighborhood... weird). Still, I decided to give this place a second chance (no angry neighbor this time), and I was glad I did! PARKING: There's street parking around the neighborhood - I parked on Almond Ave so I wasn't in front of a house. The spots right outside the shop were 30 minute only. If you can't find parking there's probably tons as you go east if you're willing to walk. WHAT I ORDERED: Pistachio cream cold brew THE DRINK: Amazing. I've had my share of acidic or bitter cold brews, and this was not one of them. The cream was perfectly sweetened and flavored . SERVICE: Exceeded my expectations. The baristas when I came in were very bubbly and answered my questions and gave me suggestions, and were funny too! I wish I got their names, but they were working on Monday early afternoon - I hope they get some recognition. We also got some samples of the food items (which may have swayed me to get the turkey panini next time I come in). Even with the experience I had above a while back ago, I remember going in to let the baristas know and they were very understanding and apologetic, which I really appreciated. VIBES: Probably one of the top coffee shops to get work done in OC. Here's my work-from-coffee-shop checklist: * OUTLETS: So many. Not at the tables downstairs but in the private rooms and at a lot of the seating upstairs. * WIFI/INTERNET: Yes, good speed * BATHROOMS: Yes, clean * WATER: You can ask for free water * VOLUME: Music was a little bit loud but not terrible * SEATING AVAILABILITY: Lotsssss of seats when I came on a Monday late morning-afternoon. Very cool that there were private rooms (which can be reserved two hours in advance if you call them), tables, bar-style seating upstairs, and most importantly, comfy couches!! * LAPTOP FRIENDLINESS: No restrictions BOTTOM LINE: I can't believe I almost missed out on this gem. I'll be back soon!

    Food/Drinks: matcha…read morelatte - not the richest matcha taste or quality and when i got it with oat milk, the oat milk flavor ended up overpowering the matcha a bit. although, it wasn't bad it was still decent to sip on while working! iced caramel macchiato - on the sweeter end of drinks and if you get oat milk it will overpower the taste a bit but still a decent drink banana cream matcha latte - has the creamy texture from the banana cream and surprisingly the banana didn't have a strong artificial banana taste. to me, that's a little rare and in a good way. the matcha isn't a strong matcha taste but still present avocado toast with egg - it was plated and presented nicely which i was kinda surprised about. it tasted decent. the bread is on the softer/soggier end rather than the crispy and toasted end. the sauce and radish overpowers the taste. i got a runny sunny side egg and it was a nice addition for me. service: this spot has one of the nicest helpful service. i was here for a few hours working and despite shift changes, each new staff who was working were so nice and helpful! ambiance: it's such a bright and spacious spot with a few study rooms and many seating. it's bright and has a cozy wooden feel. i love that there are many outlets and it's not overcrowded or too loud. it was the perfect spot to work at!
