I had a great experience at Mameya Coffee Roasters thanks to the owner, Dice…read more I originally placed the wrong order, but instead of just fixing it, Dice personally took the time to replace it tailored to my preferences--no extra charge. That kind of customer service is rare today. What stood out even more was the conversation about coffee roasting, acidity levels, and how different roasts can affect digestion. I've had issues in the past where coffee bothered my stomach, so I stop drinking it altogether, but Dice actually helped me understand the differences and guided me toward personalized better choices. Overall, it was not just a coffee purchase, but an educational and genuinely thoughtful experience. Highly recommend this place if you care about quality coffee and people who actually know their craft. Thank you Mr Dice!

I've started dabbling in the art of coffee making with my own espresso machine. One of the most…read moreimportant things I've learned is that procuring the best beans is more than half the battle. While researching roasters in the south OC area, I found Mameya in Laguna Niguel. I instantly feel in love with their concept of "blending Japanese tradition and innovation to create a coffee experience that transcends the ordinary." They specialize in offering beans from all over the world and roast them to your personal preference. Being able to pick your beans and roast level is simply amazing. This allows the fresh taste and small batches for experimenting. The quality is so remarkable and their online ordering system is great for timing each new batch for ease of pickup. If you are looking for a new coffee experience that specializes in quality coffee for rememberable consumption, Mameya has you covered!

I found Milk & Honey Café on Yelp and it looked cute, so we decided to check it out. It's tucked into a shopping plaza but has such a charming little café vibe when you walk in. The service was quick and super friendly, which is always appreciated when you're fresh off a hike and just want caffeine ASAP. We both ordered iced Americanos and they were honestly perfectly smooth, strong, and exactly what we needed. While we were there it started getting pretty busy with people coming in for coffee and grabbing food, which is always a good sign. We overheard a few people talking about how good the food is, so now I'm definitely curious and will have to come back to try something off the menu. Overall it was a great little post-hike stop. Good coffee, great energy, and a cute spot to hang for a bit. We'll definitely be back.

The atmosphere…read morewas great--calm, cozy, and filled with students studying, which made it a nice spot to unwind. Service was friendly, especially considering there was only one person working. They were doing their best, but because of that, our food took quite a while to come out. My husband ordered the ube boba, but unfortunately it wasn't drinkable--the boba was very mushy. We didn't send it back, but it was disappointing. On the bright side, I did enjoy my parfait--it was fresh and really good. Overall, I'd consider coming back, but probably earlier in the day. Solid spot with a great vibe, just needs a little consistency.

I'm used to the French versions so I have to say, do not expect the same. The dough is the same for everything here, it's a light slightly sweet sponge cake. Not chewy not dry. The custard was warm and I was not expecting that, I was expecting chilled. Not rich and not pudding but a different type of custard. The cinnamon roll same dough they just added the cinnamon and wound ot up instead of filled with custard. Topped with a little bit of icing, not frosting and not drizzle but icing. The service are just young kids and typical mumbles who don't look at you and since this was my first time here it was very difficult to get them to explain the items they just wanted your order and process the payment!!! All in all, not what I expected at all, but it's a Japanese bakery so was open to try. It's clean and cute and pretty tasty not too sweet! I would like to try the strawberry delights next!

We ordered the Kobo Kuma (of course), the Bacon, Japanini, and the Cheesy Jalapeño Panini. All the breads were delicious and so soft ! My only complaint would be having to wait when they're out of certain items but would love to come back and try their other breads !

They offer a decent selection of coffee, tea and matcha drinks, and also have a small selection of pastries and bagels. Service was great, as the cashiers were friendly and welcoming. My drink was made to order, and was ready in about five minutes. There are a decent number of tables and outlets downstairs and there are also a decent number of tables on the second story. They have top notch, high speed wifi and is a relatively quiet space in the afternoon (be advised morning may be louder due to the various ongoing church activities offered). Overall, nice and clean coffee shop in AV.

There is a vast amount of seating if you decide to sit and relax in the quiet atmosphere there. The list of offerings is short and simple. I asked for a vanilla latte but the kind barista sheepishly informed me they were out of vanilla so I opted for a honey latte. I just had lunch so, although the few pastries in the pastry case looked tempting, I passed this time. The honey latte was excellent, slightly sweet and served at a temperature that was immediately drinkable. I took it on the road this time but, as mentioned, the abundance of tables and the serene ambiance make this a great place to sit for a while and read, return emails, get some work done, contemplate the universe, or converse with a friend. I'm not often in this area but would not hesitate to stop here in the future to enjoy a coffee.

I ended up ordering the matcha with a cream top and my boyfriend got the mango smoothie. Here is our review of both: Mango Smoothie: this was just the typical tasting smoothie. Nothing too special or fresh tasting about it. It is just the normal juice/syrup based smoothie. Matcha: the sugar was sitting at the bottom of the cup and the matcha tasted bland overall. It was more milky than anything. I could not really taste the cream top, as it was so thin that it kind of mixed throughout my drink before I could try it. Overall, we came here to try the poki but just wanted to get drinks from here to try as well. I would not recommend coming to this place, as there are other options nearby that have better matcha.
