    Cortados
    Tony B.

    This is an ok coffee shop... 5-Stars for atmosphere & 3-Stars for drinks. That gives it 4-Stars over all. There is lots of seating inside and out with spaces for working/studying more inside and relaxing outside. Its also a great place if you want to take some nice IG photos. The staff is friendly and make drinks quickly. But the coffee drinks themselves are just ok. We both had Cortados this time and they were a little tasteless and too hot. Drinkable but not worth coming back for. Last time I came in alone and had a Flat White that was terrible and I dumped it out. I did not have time to ask for another but I'm sure they would have remade it. Wall Writers is located in an office complex but in a good way. There is plenty of free parking and in the afternoon and on Saturdays you can park right at the entrance. The restroom is located in a separate building across the courtyard and watching people search for it can be mildly entertaining LOL It is a nice place to work with plenty of natural light and a wonderful patio for enjoying nice weather. I just wish the drinks were a little better. But because of the convenient location I will probably try it again. Maybe Ill try something iced?

    finally tried wall writers! loved their seating options! they had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating so perf spot to study or get some work done. Very relaxing vibe. i got their ube latte and it was decent, pretty balanced flavor and not too strong. reasonable price as well, it was $6.5 Curious about how their matcha tastes!

    Beautiful outdoor coutyard with tons of birds chirping and many seating options. Had their flat white. Tasty but pricey. Comes in a tiny little cup (smaller than a sbux tall). Chocolate almond croissant warmed up was flaky and delish.

    Caramel banana latte

    This is an excellent coffee shop in one of the office parks in Irvine near spectrum. There is a lot of great indoor and outdoor seating, although it does tend to get busy. On this visit, I had the caramel banana latte, which had a very nice flavor and was not too sweet. The only complaint (and I'm not docking points here), is that the bathroom is not within the cafe, and you have to get a key card from the staff in order to use the restroom (can be difficult if there is a long line to order).

    Iced Pandan latte and Salted Caramel latte.

    A beautiful coffee shop that's located outside the One Digital Corporate Building in Irvine. At first it was a little tricky finding where this is, but as long as you see the building you park in the visitor parking and head towards the building. You will see the shop that has a beautiful outside seating area with tables and full body swings. The inside is very nice and artsy as well. They have a few seasonal drinks and a good amount of drinks listed and I had tried the iced Pandan Latte and the Salted Caramel Latte for a hot summer day in the OC. While I felt like the drinks were both just ok and maybe a little on the watery side, they might not have used cold espresso so the drink tasted very watered down. Even thought that may be the case, still worth visiting and checking out this beautiful cafe whether to rest and enjoy a break or to get some work or study done.

    pretty spacious place to study/hang out at (especially outside) but it was a bit loud inside. i asked for recommendations and ended up choosing the ube matcha. i got it less sweet since they said it was really sweet and that was a good call. i didn't really taste the matcha though. it mainly tasted like ube milk to me but it was still good since i like ube! i'd try their coffee next time if i go back

    "Ube" latte
    Nar D.

    Overall, the vibe of this place is cool. It's very trendy, modern and visually appealing with art on the walls and shelves. Lots of nice places to sit and work out of. The staff was nice- I toggled between choosing between two drinks and was advised to go with my first choice- an Ube Latte. Sad to say, I was disappointed in my drink. Not a hint of Ube flavor in it at all. I even asked for the drink to have "light ice" and it tasted very watered down. As a Filipina, I have to admit, it annoys me when coffee shops advertise drinks that are "Ube" but don't truly capture the essence of the ingredient... it's more than just a purple colored flavoring... I also have to admit that I didn't even taste the espresso either. Felt like a watered down Ube colored milk. Oh well rated a 3 because of the vibes of the shop but 1 for my drink.

    Ube matcha

    A friend recommended this coffee shop, so I knew I had to stop by when I was in the area. The store itself is located in a large business center, so it's hard to stumble across it unless you work in the area or if someone tells you about it. Because it was in the business center, I didn't have high expectations for the ambiance but it's actually really nice. The store is bright and modern with big windows. There's plentiful indoor and outdoor seating options and the seats are COMFY!! They offer a variety of different lattes that all sounded delicious. I'm a huge ube fan, so I got the ube matcha. Flavor wise, it was really good, however, I've had better ube lattes elsewhere. My husband got a drip coffee and was very impressed though. I took a sip of his coffee and you were really able to taste all the different notes of the coffee--it was definitely one of the more flavorful black coffees I've tried. Overall, this is a great coffee shop that I'd recommend!

    Matcha latte
    Amy B.

    The matcha latte varieties here all involve syrups except for the standard matcha latte, rather than using fruit purées as a substitute, which already makes me lose interest in most of their offerings as I'm highly health-conscious and unnecessary syrups aren't part of my diet. The standard matcha latte that I got didn't taste good at all, as in, the matcha didn't taste good, so I ended up simply enjoying the bottled water I got along with the matcha latte. The staff is pretty friendly but nothing super memorable. The vibe is weird because there's lots of big tables and not much of an area to wait for the order to be ready. I didn't enjoy being at Wall Writers Coffee and won't be back in the foreseeable future.

    Wall Writer's Coffee has been on my personal spot to try as a work study store. I finally went here at around 12:00 pm on a Saturday and it was definitely busy. The order line went out the door so we needed to wait a bit before we could order. For seating, all of the spots inside were already taken at that time. Outside seating had a lot of options in the courtyard. The courtyard had a good vibe but it might be hit or miss with seatings with shade. At the time I went, I was able to grab one of the last remaining spots with shade. While there is WiFi, if you sit further out in the courtyard, the signal might be weaker. For parking, there were a lot of spots in a plaza. As for the order, I personally got the iced Carl's Blend from the pour over menu. It stood out because that was the only dark roast. The pour over was pretty good. My girlfriend got the Pandan matcha latte with oat milk. Unfortunately, that wasn't so good and only tasted like oat milk. Stick to the coffee and you should be fine. American Express is accepted here.

    * my go-to spot whenever I have a full day of studying ahead and want an early start (open 7am-3:30pm everyday) * bright space from all the natural lighting * can easily move between indoor and outdoor seating to change up the scenery (but outlets are limited) * their seasonal menus (with plenty of milk substitutions) make every visit exciting! * serves food/pastries as well 9/10

    Pandan Matcha

    Love their coffees and matchas. I wish they didn't close soo early! It does get packed, but there are tables and seats if you want to study/get work done!

    A chic cafe with artistic modern themed interior design that has upbeat music playing in the background moderately loud and ample seating both inside and outside for those wanting to stay and enjoy their coffee. The staff is nice and fast with their service. I ordered the hot Ube latte, which was not too sweet, hint of ube, and creamy.

    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!

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!
