I remember trying to go here a while back ago when it blew up on TikTok but ended up not sticking around 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! read more

The Lost Bean Roastery - Pistachio cream cold brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Orange, California

Oh, The Lost Bean... I'm at a loss for words. I really wanted to love this location. I've been a customer at the Tustin location for years, so I walked in excited. Unfortunately, this visit was one disappointment after another. We arrived at 8:30 a.m. hoping for a peaceful coffee-and-breakfast morning. Instead, we accidentally wandered into what felt like a Janis Joplin tribute concert. The music was blasting at nightclub volume--not exactly the relaxing start to the day we had in mind. But surprisingly... that wasn't even the worst part. The food was incredibly disappointing. I ordered the breakfast burrito, and the potatoes were still raw--hard enough to remind me they were once part of the ground.. My husband ordered the French toast, which looked suspiciously like it took a quick detour from Trader Joe's frozen aisle before landing on our table. There's nothing wrong with frozen French toast... unless you're charging $14 and calling it brunch. Another friend ordered the granola with berries. After a few bites, he gave it a skeptical look, pushed the bowl away, and decided breakfast simply wasn't worth the gamble. The coffee was decent , but honestly wasn't worth fighting the neighbors for a parking spot! read more

Food/Drinks: matcha latte - 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! read more

Parking is terrible. The coffee is the worst, and the entrance smells like sewage. The café au lait was watered down. When I requested a remake, the barista didn't even apologize. Instead, we were met with an unacceptable attitude. I do not recommend this place. There are so many better coffee shops out there. I don't know what should happen first: replacing the barista who worked on July 8th or improving the coffee. read more

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! read more

The Lost Bean gives one of the best coffee date experiences my wife and I have had in ages. The venue is huge, plenty of areas to sit and relax. The staff is friendly and professional. The coffee and food choices are varied and interesting. And most importantly, the coffee tastes great! They have private meeting rooms that are free for paying customers on a first come basis. Perfect for team meetings, etc. We love The Lost Bean and will definitely be back. read more

Better Than Bulletproof: 10/10 (apparently their keto drink) Greek veggie + cheese panini : 8/10 (overpriced but pretty good).

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

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. read more

A solid, roomy, minimalistic productivity spot with free working wifi. We visited the location on Monday at 4 PM and there was plenty of seating left. The cafe has two spacious floors with tables spread out. There are bathrooms located upstairs and downstairs. They have 3 study rooms available on a first come, first serve basis. There are charging ports available. We ordered the seasonal pumpkin chai latte ($6). It was alright but could've used more flavor to stand out. For food, we had the classic burrito ($13) and bacon burrito ($14). Both were decent, but a bit pricey for what you get. Parking is mostly street parking. We parked at a garage for free, a 10 minute walk away from the cafe. read more

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. read more

First off, the shop is nice. Lots of tables and outlets and coffee is good. Not much parking, so be prepared. However they need to work on their service and menu confusion. I ordered the bfast sandwich, which is $13.50 and includes turkey sausage on the menu. I ended up getting charged $18 because I "added" turkey sausage to it. I get my sandwich only to find out they gave me bacon. I call the barista over and she just says she wasn't the one who made it. Then she asks if I can eat bacon, because they don't have sausage... Unfortunately just received a sad sorry and some staring before I decided it wasn't worth the effort. I'm not the type to ask for refunds or anything but it's the principle :| read more

Food is always good. Breakfast and lunch items are great. Usually pretty quick with food and drinks but if there's a bit of a rush you may need to wait a little bit.

First time here. First impression, very spacious and lots of tables and chairs. Ordered an eye opener. Lame that sugar packets are behind the counter and I had to ask for some. Also, where is the water station? They be stingy and cheap here. Go to Play Coffee instead. Coffee has depth. Not coming back here again. I don't recommend this place. read more

Great place to get some work done with plenty of tables downstairs/upstairs and even a few study rooms for a bit more privacy. I understand the frustration others are having with the parking situation, but i was able to find plenty of spots down the street and a street over, no more than a 5 minute walk which is actually pretty pleasant through the Orange neighborhoods. The breakfast burrito was a bit overpriced in my opinion, it was alright but not something I would go out of my way to order again. I got one of the seasonal coffees and it was delicious. Will definitely be back soon to get some more studying done! read more

Stopped by here the other day since I was going into work late. I have passed it numerous times and knew I had to stop. The coffee shop is new to the neighborhood so it doesn't get too busy. There is a 30 minute parking area in front for those quick pit stops for some joe and a delicious hot pastry or breakfast item. As soon as I walked in, I was mesmerized on how big it was. There is so much room with plenty of seating. For those who telecommute, they have private meeting rooms to reserve for some alone/quiet time. You can talk to the cashier to book but I heard it is first come first serve. I ended up speaking with the cashier and barista since it was my first time visiting. They recommended a hot La Paz with oat milk. OMG it was delicious. The latte has brown sugar so I was a bit hesitant but it was surprisingly not too sweet. I also ended up buying a heart shaped rice Krispie treat which was also yummy and not to sweet. Overall, greta coffee shop and close to work. Looks like I will be making more stops here before I go into work. read more

Parking is a little tricky but all of orange circle is like that. I was able to snag a parking in front which was great! Lots of seating and food options.

She was quick and I would love to come Back and try some more! read more

So spacious, clean, and plenty of seating! We had a large group of 8 and we easily found 2 tables on a Saturday evening. It's a great place to study and have a delicious latte or pastry. Our whole group enjoyed their drinks and food! There are also a ton of outlets on the upper level. On the lower level, there are private rooms at a first-come, first-serve basis. It says there is a 2 hour limit but the groups occupying were not pressured to leave, unless I guess you were to inquire about using them. Staff was also very sweet and engaging with all the customers. The only downside is the parking! We had to park across the street, 2 neighborhoods down. For the excellent service, food, and cafe vibes, it's worth a visit! read more

This space is fantastic: many tables, tons of natural light, seating, great WiFi, clean bathrooms, super easy to knockout some work for hours or has private spaces for meetings or study time. Drinks are seriously high quality (grabbed their seasonal purple matcha. Had a funny name but it was wild in the best way like all other drinks. One funny thing: the drink menu has these super creative drink names with zero descriptions, so I had to keep asking the baristas Pretty sure they were low-key annoyed by the end lol. Service is friendly enough, just be prepared to wait a solid while for your drink; everything's made with care, not speed. Also parking is the usual struggle, but once you're in, it's worth it. Already planning my next work session here! read more

I enjoy this cafe as it's not as busy compared to other places. The only downside is the parking situation, but from what I've noticed it doesn't get that busy during the day. Prices are fairly reasonable and competitive with other cafe places, and offer two sizes, 16 and 24 ounces. They offer have private rooms at a first-come first serve basis! They have two 4 person rooms and one 8 person rooms, perfect for a study session! Their matcha not bad, as it's on the bitter side even with a syrup so you can also ask for cold foam or sweetener if you would like. Overall this place is different from other cafes because of their study rooms and limited parking but also fairly competitive pricing compared to other coffee shops! They currently also offer a $1 your total if you bring in your student ID :) read more

This place is great. It seems like they just opened recently. We went on a Saturday morning, and it was surprisingly not too busy. I ordered a breakfast burrito and an iced monkey mocha, which is dark chocolate with banana milk. The burrito was tasty. I wish the chocolate flavor in the mocha was stronger, but that's just my personal preference. My friend got a strawberry matcha and said it was good too. Service was pretty fast, and the staff were friendly. There are plenty of seats and even some study rooms you can reserve. The only downside is parking, since it's street parking only. read more

My boyfriend has been talking about the lost bean for the past few weeks since. We decided to try it today while out running errands. When I walked in, I noticed it was a huge space. I wish they did more with it to make it feel more casual and somewhere to hang out. I walked up to order and the barista was so nice and friendly and had great recommendations. I decided to get an iced caramel latte which was delicious and a slice of banana bread which I thought could have been more moist and maybe add chocolate chips. I ordered my boyfriend the bacon burrito and an iced La Paz. The burrito tasted way better than expected and the coffee was great too. Finally I picked up a bag of beans and got a free pour over with it! I hope they fix up the inside to make it feel more homey because I would definitely bring my friends and have coffee dates. read more

I absolutely love the coffee here! My go to is the honey drizzle iced latte. So yummy! The coffee shop is huge and has private rooms, which is awesome! My one big con is the parking unfortunately. I've gone different days, at different times and I always struggle getting a spot. For such a huge establishment I'm surprised there's no dedicated parking. Perhaps a parking agreement can be made with a local business. That would be a great solution. But again, the coffee is really great! read more

What a lovely interior. It's very spacious, well-lit, clean, and the aroma of coffee is just enticing. Staff were very friendly and nice. I've never been to an organic coffee shop so this is a bit new to me. I normally enjoy drinking plain black coffee but today I feel adventurous and wanted to try Better Than Bulletproof (only because it sounded nice - i know, i know.. ;) ) To my dismay, I didn't like it , in my opinion. It has an after taste and made my mouth taste oily?? (Most likely from the coconut?) Unfortunately, I didn't finish the coffee. I was just not having it. I will most likely come back and try some other drinks. read more
