    Caramel banana latte
    Jacob S.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    "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.

    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.

    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!

    * 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

    Matcha latte w almond milk
    Candyce P.

    Super cute little cafe to do work or study at (they close early tho)! Cashiers are all super nice as well. I'm not a huge coffee person, but the matcha here was just okay. It's a bit on the milky side and there isn't really a strong matcha flavor. Would not be a go to place for matcha but I heard their coffee is good!

    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.

    We stumbled across this cafe which is the perfect spot to work, study, or hang out. There's plenty of parking and indoor/outdoor seating. The only downside is that the indoor seating area doesn't have a lot of plugs. I ordered an iced strawberry matcha latte and a quiche. Both came out so fast and were yummy.

    Iced ube latte. Magical colors and it tastes fantastic.
    Craig W.

    This coffee shop is extremely well-hidden but it is hardly a secret. There were at least 30 or 40 people there during my visit. The interior is big and the patio is even bigger. Both the interior and exterior are very attractive. Three words: iced ube latte. It is drop dead gorgeous and absolutely delicious. And it is served with small ice pellets? Are you kidding me? This is a fantastic drink and I will crawl over crappy regular ice cubes for it all day long. Free parking. You have no excuse for not trying this lovely place out.

    Menu as of Feb 2025
    Tina L.

    Great place to study and do work with plenty of tables and chairs inside and outside. Restroom situation is located in another building across though as this is essentially a corporate building area. Ube latte was smooth but pricier than expected.

There has been maybe twice where the vanilla oat latte was a bit lacking on the vanilla flavor but besides that they're generally consistent and good.

Staff is friendly & greets upon entry. Ordering is done through one large tablet, and drinks came out surprisingly fast. Minor observation - there's so much glare on the screen during the day being directly across the windows, but not a dealbreaker. The menu mentions that hot teas make the wait time a bit longer cause they heat it'll up. Topping options are somewhat limited, but that's perfectly fine for me since I always choose aloe vera. They also offer soy and oat milk alternatives, though the menu notes that dairy provides the creamiest texture for their milk teas and encourages you to stick with dairy if you can have it. Mountain Rock Oolong Tea Latte is a solid option. The HNT Trinity Latte is an interesting option if you're indecisive. It combines three different teas into one drink, and I could definitely pick up both jasmine and oolong notes. Overall, a clean and efficient tea shop with friendly service and quality tea - will stop by again when I'm in the area!

    5 stars for the goma matcha latte and milk bread with crunchy pearls!…read more The goma matcha latte 5/5 had a black sesame paste that was like the black sesame version of smooth peanut butter! One could probably eat it by the spoonful! Such a complex flavor complement to the matcha latte. The matcha latte (4/5) felt fairly strong (I estimate 4g at least), and the mango puree tasted real/ fresh but was nothing special. However, I did like that it was not too sweet. Caveat: I am partial to mango/coconut milk or mango sticky rice matcha lattes. The goma matcha was worth the $8 pricetag. Tip: Matcha Mondays=10% off matcha drinks! The mango one maybe was worth it due to the amount of matcha, but I do feel like I could make it at home. The milk bread ($5.50) was soft, with a delightful bursting sweet cream filling topped with those shite pearly crunchies-- unique and delicious. I also loved the kinako an pan (sweet bread with red bean filling, $5.50) because of the nostalgic flavors, but also because the azuki bean had a nice crunchy sugar quality.

The matcha was good with a very strong matcha flavor and the original had a slight lemon flavor. I enjoyed all the food and sweets here, but a bit disappointed with their drink portion.
