    Hot chocolate to go
    Raven R.

    This is a cozy cafe in Orange. It's clean and well maintained. The staff is very nice and they had my order our quickly. I got a hot chocolate to go. Hot Chocolate- It's light and sweet, served at the perfect temperature. Like a warm hug on a chilly day. To go cup is sturdy and travelled well. Great experience overall!

    Greek Veggie Cheese Panini

    Better Than Bulletproof: 10/10 (apparently their keto drink) Greek veggie + cheese panini : 8/10 (overpriced but pretty good). Customer service : 10/10 Establishment Cleanliness: 10/10 There seems to be no proper parking lot. I can imagine it being difficult to find parking during busy times.

    I had never been to The Lost Bean but it was definitely on my list. Walking in, you do not expect it to be so big and feel so warm. The vibes are immediately lovely and as soon as I started looking at the menu, I was greeted. The gentleman behind the counter realized it was my first time and gave me a sort of tour and explained the lovely study rooms. I let him know I like sweeter drinks and he explained which ones from the menu are sweet. I ended up choosing a hot Zebra Mocha but it was a difficult decision as all the drinks sound great. It was smooth and flavorful. I will definitely be returning. Parking is a bit tricky as it is street parking and can wuickly get full. On a Thursday morning around 11am, I found a spot on the same block. I would highly recommend coming here.

    The Lost Bean in Orange County has such a great vibe. Ambiance is great, the place feels warm, bright, and perfect for getting some work done or catching up with a friend. The coffee is solid and the overall atmosphere and service is great so it makes it a place I'd definitely come back to. Parking is just okay since it's only street parking, and it was pretty full when I went. Also, they charge $1.29 extra for alternative milks, which feels a bit steep. Overall though, it's a really nice spot with great vibe and quality drinks.

    I really wanted to like this place, but it has both pros and cons. Pros: The inside is very open and modern. There are lots of seating, study rooms available for groups, and wifi. The ambiance is warm, welcoming, and bright. The drinks are good - what you would expect from a Lost Bean Coffee shop. Service is nice and quick! Cons: Parking is VERY limited. It's only street parking in a residential neighborhood. On a busy day, parking can be difficult. While there is plenty of seating, if you're looking to study, outlets in the open spaces are limited. There are more outlets on the second floor but are sporadic throughout the coffee shop. Every now and then, the whole ground shakes like something heavy is being dropped on the floor which can be startling/disruptive.

    A hidden wfh cafe in orange! It's easy to overlook from the outside but it's super spacious with 2 floors of seating. They even have rooms you can reserve for meetings or group work. Also good coffee & pricey food but their brekkie sandwich was actually so gas like i would pay for that again! Some of my complaints are that the wifi lags for the first 10 minutes & they get flies in their bathroom?? They have fly tape hanging from the AC vent...a bit of a jumpscare honestly. Parking can be rough since it's only street and in a busy area.

    This is my third time here! Not because it's close to my home, but because it gives so many opportunities for study time and relaxation. You definitely come for the ambiance, but you stay for the customer service. The ambiance is relaxed! I really love how big this space is. It's two stories!!! It's just such a cool looking spot. The downfall will always be that they don't have parking and neighborhood parking can be tough. We do want to make sure to respect the neighbors. As for the food, hear me out, it's hit and miss. I've had good food here, but I've also had mediocre food. I do love how they have 50% off after 3p. And they also, give you a cash pay discount. As for the drinks, well, I'm not a coffee drinker, but friends tell me they are good. The teas are average. The matcha, well, I've only had one, and I was disappointed. I will try again. Because we have to give chances. Overall, I was pleased with this place. I will give it an 8/10. It has definitely become one of my more frequented coffee spots.

    great for studying in small groups or alone. food/drink: I ordered the matcha latte and it was 2.5/5. tasted more like milk than matcha, also got watered down very quick. service: the staff was very very friendly. made me feel welcome as a first time visitor! ambiance: loved the vibes in here. there was good background music. Two floors, lots of seating. I sat the the ledge upstairs and I was seated right next to an outlet. parking: street parking only. I was lucky to have found parking close by but if I didn't then I would've had to park a block or two away.

    Great place to study and grab coffee. Not only the coffee is creamy, I'd come back for the same or different drink. Parking is limited and on street, I got lucky because it was during slow hours. They have private rooms for study or work, but they have 2 hours limit. They are spacious as well, they have seating area on the 2nd floor as well.

    Had to come back for a second review! Since taro is a common root used in dishes from my native country, I feel qualified to say: the iced taro latte was amazing! It tastes like the real thing -- nutty, sweet, and with subtle hints of coconut that made it feel even more authentic. If you're stopping by, this one is a must-try. I'll definitely be back again.

    Perfect study spot with many high and low tables, an upstairs, and private study rooms with outlets. Street parking wasn't too bad + Ice La Paz ($6; less sweet): could taste the caramelized sugar and coffee strength was good (7.8/10)

    Inside/study rooms

    This place has been on my list for a while and I was so glad to finally be able to check it out! I arrived and was greeted upon entering, the barista was really sweet and gave me recommendations based on my preferences. I ended up choosing the iced La Paz latte. While waiting for my drink I walked around and this place is huge! Has so much seating and study rooms, which is unique for a coffee shop but well fitting! My La Paz latte was delicious, creamy and perfectly balanced between the sweetness and espresso. I can't wait to come back! Pro: great coffee, kind staff, and lots of seating. Con: only street parking, limited spaces.

    I stopped by right before work- my first mistake- and realized too late I should have placed an online order. The service was nice but I waited unnecessarily long to get my food. I was already done with my drinks by the time I got my food. Like almost 30+ minutes. Not to mention the burrito was a bit overpriced for the serving size. The drinks were decent but not worth the wait. Probably wouldn't come back especially when I could keep walking down the street and find a better coffee spot at the Orange Circle with quicker service.

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.

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.

The coffee is delicious when served sweet and creamy and the staff is always nice to adjust your drink if you don't like it. I typically order the Iced Mint Mojito as its fresh, sweet, delicious and comes with fresh mint! This time I opted for the new seasonal Cashew Cocoa. This drink was also delicious, but a little too sweet for me, and if you don't like cashew milk I would opt for a different beverage. The pastries are on the sweeter side, so keep that in mind if you order the almond croissant or cinnamon roll, but the flavor is there. The blueberry muffin was probably my favorite as it was so moist and paired well with my coffee. This Orange establishment is nice and offers games (like most Philz') so you and your friends/family can play, while enjoying a coffee or pastry. The company even offers used coffee ground to take home for your garden - a full recycle moment! The staff is always pleasant and friendly, and each barista usually has a name tag in front of their station. If the place is busy (and it can be busy) you can also order online for a quick grab and go! The coffee, staff, and atmosphere keep me visiting the delicious Philz Coffee. Thank you!

Every time I come in, there are 5 to 6 employees behind the counter, but more than half of them are just standing around talking and laughing. It creates a distracting environment for the few people who are actually trying to work, and it shows in how slow and disorganized everything feels. What really pushed me to write this review is how often the app is completely inaccurate. I'll get a notification saying my drink is ready, only to show up and find that it hasn't even been started yet. Meanwhile, the person who is supposed to be making drinks is busy chatting with coworkers instead of focusing on orders. This isn't a one-time thing either. It's become a pattern, and nothing seems to improve. Long waits, lack of urgency, and poor communication make the whole experience frustrating, especially when you're paying premium prices for coffee. I used to enjoy coming here, but the repeated lack of professionalism and attention to customers has really turned me off. Hopefully management steps in and addresses this, because right now it feels like customers are not a priority at all.

There were about 3 people ahead of me in line and a few waiting for drinks, but I was able to order and get my drink in around 10 minutes. Staff was very friendly and checked in with us while waiting in line! I ordered the Matcha Two, which comes as a matcha latte topped with salted matcha vanilla cream foam. The foam was velvety and creamy. The matcha had a smooth, earthy flavor with subtle sweetness. Oatmilk was the default choice, and while I usually think oatmilk can overpower matcha, it worked well in this drink. It is a little pricey for 1 drink, but that also seems to be the norm these days for specialty drinks. This is more of a grab-and-go spot than a place to hang out.

It's a thicker drink with more texture from the rice. I'll be back!
