There's not a large or defined area for waiting, and that made it confusing for some as they walked in since it was fairly busy during my visit. The staff I interacted with were friendly and the inside of the shop appeared to be very clean and already decorated for the upcoming holiday season. On warmer day it looks like there are tables outside, but there's also plenty of seating inside.

If you're looking for a light lunch or a healthy pick-me-up, Baya Bar is definitely worth checking out!

First time here. We were passing through and were interested in a hot beverage and pastry…read more Food: We ordered a London Fog Tea Latte, a Mocha Latte, and some Coffee Cake. They did a good job with all of them. The London Fog was steeped nicely and had very good flavor. It was a little on the sweet side, so next time I'll ask for less lavender and vanilla flavoring, maybe half as much. It was served at a good temperature, around 150°F. The Mocha Latte was also very good, with a nice chocolate flavor and a decent amount of froth. I thought it was slightly on the cool side, but my wife said it was perfect for her. The Coffee Cake was excellent: moist, buttery, and loaded with cinnamon. It was a generous portion and easily enough for the two of us to share. Couple of small issues. First, they only serve beverages in paper to-go cups, without the option of an actual china mug. I much prefer wrapping my hands around a warm mug while relaxing in a café. The other is that they have a pretty limited bakery/pastry selection. Would definitely appreciate the addition of scones, or croissants. Service: Super nice people working behind the counter. We received a sincere, friendly greeting and helpful guidance with our menu selections. One staff member even came out from behind the counter to help me carry everything to the table. The staff seemed to know many of the regular customers and were able to have friendly conversations with them. You got the sense that there was genuine appreciation and connection between the staff and customers. Atmosphere: It's a large newer space with high ceilings and plenty of windows. There are lots of tables that work well for groups of two to four people. Several other small groups were there during our visit, but the noise level remained comfortable and it was easy to have a quiet conversation. They also sell additional merchandise, including honey and maple syrup. A nice place that I would gladly visit again the next time we are traveling through.

The right atmosphere is here to sit alone to contemplate or read, or to chat with a friend or play a game of chess but ceramic espresso cups and saucers are a basic requirement.

I was so excited to have an açaí shop a bit closer to my parents where I split my time. I find…read moremyself making most of my açaí bowls at home since there were not many options near me. Bliss Bowls is a cute shop with a lot of options for toppings. Their signature bowls are varied and they have blue spirulina as a base swap and various other toppings if plain acai isn't your thing. I ordered the peanut butter bowl and I thought the prices weren't terrible considering it is an açaí shop, but they weren't great either given the amount of açaí in the bowl and the overall flavor profile. They serve it soft serve style which means it comes in the typical soft serve 'cone' shape which leaves a bit of room in the container after accounting for air bubbles and shaking it in place. The presentation of it is cute and super picture worthy. The açaí itself tasted a bit bland and had a little bit of a chalky texture from the ice crystals, which means they probably don't use fillers or added sweeteners, but it also seemed a little bit too diluted in taste. I thought the honey in the peanut butter bowl would've added some natural sweetness but it didn't really do much. I appreciate that they offer natural peanut butter (just unsalted peanuts) as a topping but the peanut butter was a bit dry and hard to mix into the açaí bowl. I ended up eating most of it in a few spoonfuls without even trying to. Overall, I appreciate Bliss Bowls being in OC, but I can't say I will be buying açaí from here very often.
