    Front house

    This coffee shop is very clean and has nice 'waking up' lighting inside. They have a seasonal menu with many options. I love that this is a Jesus loving space. I got the iced vanilla chai. It's a good drink. Reasonable prices: two drinks for $10 & some change. I look forward to trying to Dubai latte next time!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    looking through window at roaster

    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
    Jason Y.

    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.

    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!

    This is kind of funny…read more After work, I was searching for a coffee shop nearby like I usually do, but nothing really caught my attention. So I decided to search outside the area where I live, and that's how I ended up finding this place. The funny part is that I had actually been wanting to visit this coffee shop because I saw their "Fun Flight" menu and thought it looked so interesting. I kept telling myself that I had to come try it someday. But when I searched this time, I was actually looking for a real coffee roaster and ended up here without even realizing it was the same place. Parking was easy and there were plenty of spaces. There are also other shops around, so I don't think parking would be much of an issue. The coffee shop itself was clean, bright, and nice and cool inside. I noticed one of the employees carefully cleaning the glass, and they kept wiping down empty tables and windows throughout the time I was there. Honestly, I've rarely seen someone cleaning so consistently at a coffee shop, and I really appreciated it. It made me feel like they genuinely care about cleanliness. Since it was already afternoon, I wanted something decaf, so I asked if they roast their own decaf coffee. They told me that they roast everything themselves, which immediately gave me more confidence in the coffee. I ordered a flat white and sat down, but then I realized I had completely forgotten to say "iced." Sure enough, I saw the employee making a hot drink. Well... that's totally on me! Soon my coffee came out with a beautiful latte art on top. And then I took my first sip... Oh my goodness. This is GOOD coffee! There was a slight acidity at first, but as I kept drinking, the acidity faded and I was left with a smooth, nutty, creamy latte flavor. I personally prefer medium roasts over dark roasts, and this roast was exactly my kind of coffee. Now I'm suddenly very curious about their matcha, too. I also liked that the overall pricing wasn't too expensive. The Wi-Fi did seem a little slow at times, but it wasn't slow enough to really bother me. And now I'm still sitting here debating whether I should order the matcha latte... The coffee was definitely delicious, and I already know I'll be coming back. Next time, I'm absolutely getting the Fun Flight so I can try several different coffees! Great coffee, clean space, friendly service, and reasonable prices. Definitely worth another visit!

    Came here on a whim yesterday to nest and study and I am so glad that I did! The coffee shop had…read moreplenty of seating and was very clean (I'm a neat freak so was definitely happy about this). They also had several outlets for to charge devices if needed and delicious air conditioning. The baristas were very friendly and kind and the atmosphere felt very comfy and relaxing. I especially liked their very chill music playlist. I ordered: - iced matcha latte w oat milk and vanilla (barista recommended) - banana oatmeal with cinnamon, peanut butter and choco chips - plain bagel w cream cheese I really enjoyed the iced matcha, it is probably one of the better ones I have in OC. The matcha was super smooth and with the addition of the vanilla it created a sweet happy layer to it. I need to come back to try the other drinks! The banana oatmeal, while looking very tasty, didn't pass my satisfaction meter. The oatmeal in the bowl was cold and it was a thin layer of oats that laid on the bottom of the bowl. Presentation great, but for 9$, I would have wanted there to be at least 1-2 more scoops of oats in there to make it worth it. The plain bagel with cream cheese, I really enjoyed. The bagel was huge and it has a good toastiness to it. Additionally, the cream cheese was very light, not too rich and it helped make a delicious carb. Overall, I would definitely come back here to try other drinks and pastries from their menu! I also loved that the parking lot is easy to access and there are ample spots! Definitely try this spot, if you're in the area!

Most seating is indoors with a couple of outdoor tables too. I ordered a hot Spanish latte plus chose a blueberry jam muffin from the pastry case. And a Campfire Cookie as a bonus. The place was fairly full but I found a seat at a counter. The Spanish latte was superb with smooth coffee and cinnamon flavors that blended for a perfectly balanced profile. I appreciated it was at an immediately drinkable temperature. The muffin was really, really good. Really. It was moist, fresh, and full of blueberries and a layer of blueberry jam. The big cookie was quite good, although in all honesty I've had better in this genre. I didn't stay long as there was some annoying guy who'd set up office at a table with his AirPods firmly inserted and loudly giving legal advice in an obnoxious manner that is typical of ambulance-chaser lawyers. Why do coffee shops put up with this?
