    The front
    Kate L.

    Tru Bru Coffee in Laguna Niguel is one of those hidden gems you would definitely miss if you're not specifically looking for it. Tucked in the back corner of a quiet, mostly empty plaza, I honestly thought I was going the wrong way--but I'm so glad I kept going. The shop itself is small and charming, with a few bar-style seats and a clean, simple setup. The menu isn't huge, but it's focused and high quality. I came specifically to try the chai tea latte after hearing great things and ended up getting a dirty chai--it was phenomenal. Easily one of the best I've had. Smooth, the right amount of sweet, and perfectly spiced. I also asked for a recommendation and was told they make their vanilla in-house, so I ordered an iced vanilla latte. It was delicious--super balanced and not overly sweet. The flavor of the coffee itself really came through and made it enjoyable. While the Laguna Niguel location is smaller and more grab-and-go, parking is easy and it's a great stop if you're in the area and want a quality caffeine fix. I've heard the Irvine location has a bigger menu and more seating, so I'm definitely planning to check that one out too. If you're a chai fan or just appreciate well-crafted drinks, Tru Bru is absolutely worth a stop.

    The sweetest and most down to earth staff, with the best recommendations for the ultimate coffee drink! I got the chai dirty vanilla latte with a banana foam top! It is out of this world amazing!

    Hidden in a little business complex, you can also order online for pick up to save time. Small coffee spot, not meant for studying or sitting with a group of friends. Menu is simplistic with drip, espresso, lattes, cappuccino, cold brew, etc. I went with a matcha latte and a chai latte. Milk substitutions available and sweeteners as well. I thought they matcha was decent, it comes unflavored so added vanilla flavor, the matcha flavor wasn't as strong as I liked. The chai was pretty flavorful and would recommend this one! Overall pretty good smooth coffee, great for a morning pick me up!

    This coffee place would never be found unless you learned about it on Yelp or social media. It is in an industrial section on the border of Lake Forest/Laguna Hills, in the rear of a business complex. Even if you were in the area (for which there is virtually no reason you'd normally be) you'd never find it as it isn't visible from the street. I drove past the driveway to the business complex a couple times before I figured it out. The interior is tiny; just a few stools at a counter along the front window. It's more of a grab-n-go place. My guess is that this is where they roast their coffee and figured 'what the heck, let's let people buy coffee drinks here too if they are able to find us.' The two women working here were cordial and efficient. I got a hot mocha and a chocolate chip cookie from their small selection of pastries. I enjoyed both in my car. The mocha was served at perfect drinking temperature. It was good as was the cookie. Neither was exceptional or wooed me to return. But if I worked in the area it would be a nice place to grab some coffee now and then. If you don't work in the area it's sort of a fun treasure hunt.

    Banana Bread

    ORGANIC COFFEE ROASTERS !!!! WOW! I stopped in here on the way back from my morning errands commute. So I decided to try their seasonal gingerbread iced latte. I also grabbed one of their banana bread treats which is also organic, gluten-free and has chocolate chips. The latte was very delicious has a good gingerbread spice flavor and comes with a small gingerbread cookie 5/5. The banana bread was a perfect treat to go with the coffee, the taste was on point to what I've been looking for 5/5 for flavor and size. The barista was very nice and gave suggestions and I opted to try the seasonal drink! It has a small seating area inside and a window inside of the roastery, everything looks nice and new! It was a little hard to find because it's in a industrial park. But the majority of maps will get you to the right building. Make it easier on yourself by driving straight after pulling in the driveway then look left and it will be on the furthest corner space. I turned the wrong way and drove around the building until I found it, was worth it!

    Chai latte and banana walnut bread
    Vivian P.

    Very cute spot conveniently located and with ample parking. I tried the passion fruit tea, strawberry scone, and banana walnut bread. The tea was sweet but not overly so and the pastries were soft, warm, and delicious. The service was also quick and friendly. This is a new location, so they didn't have hot food yet, but they said they will be serving food in a few days. Very excited to come back and get some good eats

    Been looking for high quality matcha in my area for quite some time & I found it! Got the iced matcha latte with honey (it doesn't come sweetened) and the walnut banana bread was divine! Will def be coming back. It is also located in a business complex so a bit hidden but they were actually busy when I came by.

    One of the best dirty chai's I've ever had
    Katie L.

    Super delicious iced dirty chai latte!! Highly recommend this little gem of a shop tucked away in a business center.

    Melissa P.

    I had a delicious hot mocha with an extra shot. If you like a good quality coffee/espresso Tru Bru has you covered. I also had a very tasty banana muffin and blueberry muffin, both were good! It's in a unique area but you will find it! Customer service was great, two young women helped assisted me, refreshing to see smiling face with happy to help you attitudes - great welcome!

    Tru Bru is located in the back of a business complex area. There is a lot of available parking. Once you go inside, it's bright, clean, nice decor and full of good vibes. It is a small coffee shop but they do have a little seating and they roast the coffee inside. You can see it through the glass window. They have coffee, matcha and homemade snacks. The employees are super nice and happy. I will be back. I ordered the matcha and banana bread. Banana bread is amazing, matcha is ok. What would make the matcha better is house made almond milk or Good Mylk. The non clean organic milks just taste awful. Please get house made milk asap! It will change the flavors in a positive way! It's perfect for a mid day grab and go drink and treat. I love this business and what they stand for. I will be back. I hope they get some clean almond milk soon.

    Title: "Organic Latte Paradise!" Review: Hands down the best organic latte in town! Glad they opened a branch in Laguna. We have been frequent sippers at their Orange location. Must try their banana bread soo good and very moist. They have the best freshly roasted coffee in Orange County- this place is a haven for coffee and pastry lovers. Can't get enough of the goodness they serve! Thank you

Next time for sure because it looks delicious. I had ordered the #1 on the menu choice of meat with eggs (any style). I ordered my plate with bacon, eggs over medium, with hash browns styled "Those Hash-browns" which has onions and bell peppers. (Not to be confused with house potatoes fyi). I also had it with a side of toasted sourdough. It had hit the spot for a breakfast plate and the price was very reasonable compared to other breakfast spots. The portions I feel were perfect. I took leftovers home (hash browns wise). I can't wait to come back with more family and friends and be able to just indulge in the yummy items of their menu. 11/10 for me. More than 5 stars to be honest. I'm glad we decided to stop here.

The front desk staff made multiple suggestions about things to do/see, places to eat and the like and each one led us to something very good. The room was nice - not large and fancy but entirely comfortable with a king size bed. The air conditioning is powerful and kept the room cool even during a series of very hot days. The hot water comes out promptly in the tub/shower and sink. Onsite parking is convenient and easy, and because it is enclosed the car doesn't heat up when left there during the day. It is an easy walk to many local attractions: Downtown shops, beaches and multiple good restaurants (Urth Cafe, a block and a half away, is particularly good for breakfast). The Laguna Arts Festival/Pageant of the Masters, is a bit under a mile away but, again, a relatively easy walk and worth it given the difficulty of finding parking in town. This will be our go-to hotel when we go back to Laguna Beach.
