This place is super cute and boy was it popping when we swung by on a Friday morning! A ton of really good looking pastries- I opted for the carrot cake muffin which tasted healthier than cake but still flavorful and delicious along with an iced latte. read more

Here's an update with the interior. Went back here again, bc why not! Food service is great, had to wait in line a little bit bc they ran out of a specific bean, so order took longer than normal, but it was worth the wait. Anyway, here's a picture of the interior which gives such cozy vibes. Instagram: YelpFam read more

Tuna melt is great! Reasonable size. Comes with a side salad or chips. It's not too fishy, nor too chunky, nor too runny, and isn't overwhelmingly cheesy. Always toasted just right. I'll take a pic before I finish it. It's usually a bit of a wait to find a table there, so if I have time, I take my food to go and eat at Irvine park just up the street at the end of Jamboree read more

I ordered the chai tea latte. It's flavor reminded me of sweet warmed milk. I didn't taste much tea in it at all. The latte art was cute though. The avocado toast had cream cheese in it and a lot of lemon pepper seasoning with lemon juice on it. The bread itself had a nice texture to it. One piece of it was $7, which I suppose is standard for avotoast these days. The burrito was falling apart! We couldn't pick it up without its ingredients falling out of place. Vanilla latte was so bitter! I forgot to ask if they made their syrups in house, but these drink was just not good at all. Simply, I don't understand why everyone raves about this spot. I can only assume it's because it's the only hipster coffee shop nearby. Disappointed because I drove out 1 hour to try this place out. Customer service is okay, nothing out of the ordinary. Parking is difficult since it's always crowded. The seating is limited and the seats themselves are not comfortable, seating is also limited to 90 minutes per person. read more

I loveeeee tru bru. The chai and vanilla latte are my favorite. I haven't tried the food yet but the drinks are always so yummy. It's such a cute cozy cafe that is alwayssss busy which makes me so happy for them! Very clean and such good music plays. However I don't recommend studying their for those who want to focus, they get really busy so it tends to be loud majority of the time. Other than that I love it! read more

I got a flat white here with a banana oat muffin. Most of the pastries, if not all, are organic. The size of the flat white was a little small but that's on me. Very moist muffin! Enjoyed it quite a bit. Paid with Apple Pay. Plenty of parking out front. They also have breakfast and lunch options but I haven't tried those yet. In addition, they sell lots of Christian paraphernalia like earrings, greeting cards, and stickers. If that's what you're into. read more

Neighborhood cafe with lots of seating, wifi, and wide selection of drinks. I ordered the holiday pumpkin spice latte. Bit of a wait on a Sunday morning, but that's expected as everyone was getting their coffee fix. Also ordered one of their scones which were pretty tasty too, they offer to heat them up for you. read more

Four stars is mainly for its offering of organic beans. After reading about all the chemicals that go into regular coffee beans, I started seeking out organic options. This and Lost Bean appear to be the only ones with that option. I got a bag of Bali single origin beans, which is a dark roast. I was actually looking for medium roast, but it only had light or dark roast beans at the time of my visit. For dark roast, it tasted really good without being too bitter when I made myself a pour over with it at home. My wife also loved the taste. Not quite sure on flavor notes, and there isn't a description on the bag, but it definitely has more of a nutty flavor than fruity. In terms of actual drinks, I thought they were just ok. I got a cappuccino to get a sense of its espresso based drinks. The latte art was weak (even for a very basic design), and so was the flavor. It was weak in espresso and too milky. It tasted more like a latte than a cappuccino. Also tried its cold brew, which was ok, but nothing out of the ordinary. Food was average too. Grass-Fed Burger tasted clean, but overall flavor combination was pretty average. Chicken & Artichoke Salad had good dressing, but the chicken was very dry. I would definitely come back to buy its organic beans, but most likely won't get anything else. Drink menu is very basic for coffee, but it does offer wine and beer. read more

Been coming here since it first opened but I had never had their food. So glad I did this time! Yummiest pancakes that were a total surprise to me. I had no idea their food was so good. My friend got a breakfast sandwich and she loved it too. It was a full house so the food took a bit long but it was worth it. And of course, always tasty coffee too! Clean and so much natural light. Love the location read more

Once again the customer service at this place will be their downfall. The only thing that sucks is how rude they are. The food and the coffee is great but the way the speak to customers is really rude. I placed a mobile order for a smoothie the app told me it would be ready at 10:55 I got their at 10:50 so I was 5 minutes EARLY according to the app. When I got the smoothie it looked like juice it was completely melted when I brought it up to someone they told me to just "stir it" I asked if they could remake it to which she said um let me ask my manager, her manager came back and told me "well redo it this time but next time make sure u order it at the right time" like what?? AGAIN instead of trying to take the time to LISTEN and see that I was actually early to pick up my food he automatically assumed I was late and was rude about it. So annoying read more

Been coming here for years, And today some girl reminded me why I keep coming back here, I Love the energy here! Today a girl I've never seen before was absolutely amazing. I asked for an extra hot latte and upon receiving it she asked if it was hot enough, I said yes it's totally fine. She found my table and gave me a free latte on the house because she felt it wasn't up to her standards I thought that was so kind I appreciated very much. Thank you Elena for your kindness. The food here is 10/10 better than most breakfast restaurants and very cost effective which I appreciate, most importantly the coffee is amazing. I'll be coming back on my regular schedule! Cheers, read more

The Tru Bru in the Irvine Towers location has the BEST Pesto Chicken Pasta! I think it's a seasonal item, but I hope they make it a year-round item! It's filling, fresh, and cozy, highly recommend. read more

This coffee spot had a variety of food and drinks to choose from. The environment was cozy, however if you're looking for a quieter coffee shop to study, this might not be recommended. Definitely not a place to study if you don't take headphones. The coffee was good, there's enough comfortable seating and parking. Customer service was good. Wifi is provided. read more

Great service. Food was delicious. Their seasonal fall drinks are amazing! Good place to work as well!

Love this place. Cute and cozy when it's not crammed with people. I'm finding it frustrating to visit if it's a weekend. Not in love with the high prices and crowds. Food and drinks are excellent. Service is good but the parking and long lines can be a little much when you come hungry. The kitchen does a great job considering how many to go orders they get with the addition to those that walk-in, order, and stay. read more

Great quality food but the last few times I've been there, it's extremely warm inside and dishes are always piling up in the bins. Tons of kids in kitchen area but none clearing dishes or even the number sign off of tables when they serve you food. If I was the owner of this place, I would hire a responsible manager over the age of 22 to oversee. read more

Great coffee and food! It's a decent sized space but it gets really crowded. It seems to have overgrown itself a bit. Nonetheless, once you get a table it's a nice atmosphere. Definitely easier to get coffee to go than it is to sit down and eat, so I end up doing that more. They also have great prices for their coffee! read more

This is our favorite coffee shop for breakfast, lunch or brunch. They offer a variety of fresh brewed coffees, teas & delicious shakes; wonderful breakfast & lunch sandwiches & salad selections as well as "Happy Hour"! The staff is very friendly & helpful... you never feel rushed... we love sitting in front of the cozy fireplace My friends & I meet there every Thursday & today (Sunday) we went for coffee & a sandwich after Church. There is plenty of regular as well as handicap parking as it's located in a neighborhood shopping center at Horizon Ridge/7 Hills. Lots of patrons bring their laptops & work while enjoying their coffee. It's a great place for friends and business associates to meet. Prices are reasonable & the sandwiches are mostly organic & GLUTEN FREE selections are also available. It's a very comfortable, cozy & FRIENDLY coffee shop! Try it & you will love it too! read more

Their scones are the best. The service is always friendly. The coffee is ok. The wait can be quite long when busy.

my favorite coffee shop in orange! my go to bev is their iced chai--it literally tastes like cinnamon toast crunch in a cup. their food and pastries are also all super yum and fresh tasting because they make everything in house! it's also such a great place to get some work done or get a nice brunch with friends read more

Good coffee and breakfast. Had a regular drip coffee and French toast. Coffee was fresh and good flavor not over roasted. French toast came with fresh fruit and syrup on the side. Order T the counter and they deliver to your table, vibe is like a neighborhood hangout spot. read more

We love ordering coffee here when in the area! They roast the beans on sight, have delicious pastries and kind employees. There is lots of parking in the center. Sometimes there is a line and can take a few minutes once ordered, be patient, it is worth the wait! read more

Very bad customer service. Specially the blonde guy with long hair and a mustache. Very rude.

IYKYK! This place is located in a cute little shopping center across from Santiago Canyon College and to say this place is the gem of Orange would be an understatement. My go to coffee items here are the Iced Chai Latte or the hot chai latte. Absolute best I have ever had, and this is not an exaggeration! My boyfriend loves their dirty chai so if you need the extra caffeine, can't go wrong with that. As for their food items, their breakfast burrito with bacon is better than those offered at most breakfast restaurants. But if you prefer to have some sweets with your morning/afternoon coffee, you can never go wrong with their scones. These things are by far some of the best top quality pastries! They are consistently perfect and you won't ever regret the calories. All their baked goods are made in house and on the days they offer the cinnamon roll, get it! Ambiance here is just as good as the coffee and food. All the employees are really kind and professional and the location itself is quaint and cozy, feels like you are hanging out at your best friend's house. It does get quite crowded, but I assure you that your patience will be rewarded. Tables do have an hour and half limit to ensure that there are available tables for those looking to enjoy their refreshments and visit with friends or get some focused work done. I love this spot so much that I have had to limit myself to only a set amount of days a week to visit. But I genuinely look forward to my Tru Bru days. Walk in any morning or afternoon where you need a pick me up, this place will not only satisfy your taste buds, it will also give you a much needed chakra alignment. So tip your barista for their effort in making you some coffee art and let the good karma cycle perpetuate when you visit one of the best coffee spots in OC hands down. read more

Food is okay, I feel like you can go somewhere better for the price you pay. The older lady who works there completely ignored me at first while I was trying to get assistance. There was no line when I went up to order but she turned to this girl beside me if anyone has helped her and then she asked this guy who was way behind me, not even in line, if he needed help. Mind you I'm at the counter trying to get her attention. read more

This was my first time and I will be back for the amazing hospitality and ambiance vibes! I walked up to order having no clue what to order. I told the cashier I was a first timer and she was so welcoming and patient. I ended up ordering a caramel latte with pumpkin cold foam with half almond milk and half oat milk. For me I need extra sweet for my coffee but I will be back to try a chai tea. Shout out to the amazing fun barista with an amazing smilie! Thanks TruBru for making my morning! read more

I really love this place. The atmosphere is fun, friendly, social, and pleasant. It has an old 1990s Friend's coffee shop feel where people are welcomed to hang out and socialize. Breakfasts are tasty and the pastries are too delicious my tempted sweet tooth. I especially like the coffee which tastes local roasted style. That's always a bonus. Finally, the service is great with fun smiling staff that welcomes you. If you go enough, they remember you too and might remember you order. Another nice touch. Enjoy and relax. That's what this kind of cafe is all about. read more

Parking: right in front of truBru are 1hr only parking spots. But it's in a plaza. So if you park a bit further down, there's plenty of no time free parking. Service: line moves fast. You order in and either (1) wait for your name to be called (2) sit and they'll bring your food out. From what I know, if you're getting a drink/pastry, you gotta pick it up yourself when they call your name. If you're getting a meal from the food menu, they'll bring it out to you by number. Food: got the breakfast burrito, pancakes and blueberry scone. Breakfast burrito is a solid choice. They do have tapatio near the forks/knives area. Pancakes are definitely not their specialty. Wouldn't get again but it wasn't bad. It's just "boring" and tastes like something I made when I was a kid. But like in a good way. Blueberry scone is a would most likely get again but only wouldn't b/c I wanna try their other pastries now. It was very very good esp with the matcha. Their matcha was unsweetened (on purpose). It had a clean texture and not the velvety texture you get with some matcha places. Prices are slightly steeper than your other places but comparable and wouldn't fuss over the price too much. Would come back when I'm in the area. But wouldn't make my way just to get something here. read more
