Sweet and delicious! I’m on a quest to find the coziest and most delicious coffee shops in Orange County, and I have so many wonderful things to say about this place. First, the warm almond croissant is a must try! Dip the croissant in your latte and you’ll be in love ❤️. I got a honey cinnamon latte and the level of sweetness was perfect. I don’t like for my coffee to be too sweet, but I don’t like it black either, and this coffee was perfect! I also tried the spinach burrito. I love that they cut the burritos in small pieces. That’s honestly a brilliant idea because then you’re not stuck with a whole burrito! Plus, it gives you room to try a pastry :). The environment is cute and cozy as well. I love the antique art. I will be going back and can’t wait!

Came here on a Sunday for the first time and enjoyed my Breakfast: Service: 9/10 really nice manager- maybe owner walked us through the menu and helped us order the best pastries and coffee beverages. Some guy took one of our coffees so had to wait to get the second. Pastry/Croissant: 10/10 got a doughnut, desert toaster pastry, and an Almond Croissant. All were fantastic and they heated them up first to perfection. Egg/Omelette: 9/10 got a breakfast burrito with egg potato, cheese and spinach. It was on the smaller side but was delicious. Coffee: 9/10 got a Latte and it tasted perfect the only thing I’d change is since I was dining in, would have liked it in a cozy mug Vs a to go cup Location: 9/10 easy to find and park in Mission Viejo. Ambience/View: 8/10 cute inside with some subtle music playing. A couple small tables outside but would be very close to the parking lot and no views outside. Menu: 9/10 great choices for some simple breakfast and pastry items. Customized the coffee with almond or oat milk and plenty of great beverages. Price: 10/10 very reasonable pricing on the lower end and would be a place you could go any morning.

Never been disappointed in the drinks and food, everything is so delicious! The staff is so incredibly friendly as well! Also the ambience is very calming and inspires good study sessions.

Coffee was good, customer service was alright, but there was a huge dog making messes and disturbing customers. I’m pretty sure only service dogs are allowed in service restaurants due to food safety.

Always a favorite place to hang, chat, work. Pleasant staff. Great alternative to national brand coffee shops. Lots of tables inside and out. Cozy couches and big cozy chairs. Beverages are all standard and tasty - feel free to ask for any specifics, more of this, less of that, different milks, etc. Food is simple pastries and sandwiches.

The BEST coffee!! Rich without bitterness, smooth, and full-bodied. Ordered the “eye-opener” made with dark roast and one shot of espresso. PERFECT! Along with that I got the most delicious lemon poppy muffin. Amazing combo. Friendly and knowledgeable staff made my first visit a good one so went back the next day. This is my new fave coffee place!

I walked here at a busy hour since I was working at the farmers market nearby and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The drinks were very well-priced and the atmosphere was relaxing. The drinks took a little long to make but it makes complete sense since I did come here at 9:30 which is busy time. The drinks were pretty good, I got the peppermint mocha and I would get it again.

I come here most mornings to work and study. The chairs are comfortable to sit on for extended periods of sitting. There's adequate spots for a laptop and a notepad in the shared table and on the individual tables. The coffee is reasonably priced and tastes good. The baristas are friendly and accommodating. You even get to dog spot a lot because people walking their dogs come here often to just relax and chat. The music isn't overbearing. Overall, highly recommend getting a coffee in this place.

The Everything bagel breakfast sandwich and honey cinnamon latte were delicious...the bran-carrot muffin slapped my taste buds in an unpleasant and unfriendly way. I wanted to give this place 5 stars, but the muffin had other ideas.
