Hidden gem- I'm sure all the locals close by in all the apartment complexes and businesses near by, know about this place. Pro tip: call in or order online, so you're not waiting for your food and drinks. Everything's so good- I love that they put sprouts in their salads and their balsamic is delicious. The Chuy sandwich is my favorite (GOAT CHEESE!) There is underground parking and a few spots in front. It's small and busy inside, but there's tables outside to wait and eat! read more

Came here for lunch as I was craving for a salad. Ordered the tuna avocado salad. Tasty tuna with lots of fresh ingredients (tomato chunks, carrot slices, mushrooms, etc). Plenty of seating spaces inside and out. Friendly service. Be aware of limited parking spaces, and most of the spaces are for 30min-only parking. read more

Cute little cafe serving breakfast and lunch bites. Also with selection of smoothies, coffee, and teas. Tucked away in a residential area which must be so convenient for residents to simply walk out in their nighties to grab a little something for the morning. The tower 9 sandwich was monster and also quite delicious with the alfalfa sprouts adding such a fresh, herbal, and healthy touch to a sandwich. Loved this sandwich and quite filling so packed the other half and had it later on for snack. Highly recommend. Also tried the Avo Classic salad. Also had alfalfa sprouts, carrots, mushrooms, half an avocado (of course), mozzarella cheese, and tuna for protein. Came with you choice of dressing and they also gave me a house dressing on side to try. Was a generously large salad and good but didn't feel it was much different from others I've tried. Overall nice place to stop by if you're looking for something low key and healthy. read more

Stopped by for a quick sandwich break and had this bookmarked for awhile! It's a small cafe shop, something that gets the job done. The indoor seating isn't really that cozy, but there are a few tables around that's just a place to sit. They have cute ambiance music though! There's more outdoor seating that feels a bit nicer haha. It was about 1pm and I wanted to try the Salmon Toast (since the menu said they only served it until 11am). Luckily the cashier said I was still able to order it! I heard that was a must get from here, so we got that, and my bf ordered a Rodeo. It didn't take too long to for our sandwiches, so service was great! The sandwiches were a bit on the smaller side, so for the price, it didn't really feel that much of a value? But all their ingredients do seem fresh. Taking in the first few bites, one thing I would say is that the salmon is very overpowering. It tasted fishier than it should be, which it made it taste a bit more unpleasant? I do like how they were generous with the pesto. However, I felt like the pesto didn't really complement it that much. The bread itself was pretty alright. I liked how my plate came with two slices of watermelon, which I oddly enjoyed that better than the sandwich lol. As for my bf's Rodeo sandwich, I actually liked his a lot more lol. That one seemed like it went well altogether. However, I was a bit more disappointed with the salmon toast. It was really the salmon fishy smell that threw me off. Maybe because it was like a smoked salmon? But it tasted like just separate ingredients were just put together to make something... meaning it didn't shine as a whole haha. Overall, I feel like that it is a bit overpriced for what it is. Even despite how fresh the ingredients may be, I feel like the size is not as worth it. read more

Our company recently held our annual pickleball event and requested Avocado Cafe to cater our lunch. This was also because of wellness week so we wanted a healthy lunch selection for our employees. The catering service was excellent! They were on time, all the sandwiches were boxed up nicely, and the food was fresh & delicious. We'll definitely consider them for future catered events. read more

Came here for breakfast with the family while out in Irvine at my cousin's place. I opted for the loaded grill cheese toast without bacon. It was very very good and tasty. I love that they were willing to accommodate my request for a vegetarian version of the toast and also added spinach and tomatoes to make it quite filling. The avocado was super fresh and the watermelon slices were a nice touch. I washed all of this out with an iced coffee which was the perfect mix. Enjoy this with a little dab of hot sauce and you cannot ask for more. read more

I'm updating my review and dropping it to 1 star because I witnessed workers making food in the back with their bare hands. They would put together the sandwich and handle all the ingredients with their bare hands, scoop out chips from a costco sized bag with their bare hands, AND THEN go up to the register and handle money all without washing their hands at all. I feel so sick knowing I used to eat at this place. Unclean. Not worth it. read more

I've been coming to the Avocado Cafe Irvine on a couple occasions now and really like this little hidden gem quite a lot. Came across the Avocado Cafe while taking a friend to JWA with time to kill for breakfast being so close to the airport. They probably have one of the best breakfast burritos and I wish they were a little bit closer to my place but definitely worth going out of your way! The Avocado Cafe serves fresh and healthy food including sandwiches, salads, smoothies, juices, and drinks and not to mention a variety of coffees! FYI, their Tuna sandwich (formerly known as the Avocado tuna sandwich) was even voted one of the 9 best avocado dishes in Orange County by OC Weekly. The cafe offers a fast casual dining experience with a cozy ambiance inside and out and I definitely prefer the outside patio seating! 5 stars for reasonably priced and tasty food plus friendly service! I'II be back! Enjoy and Bon Appétit! read more

Food here is amazing! Freshly made and filling and healthy! Another one of a kind places that I will definitely come to and recommend....

Keep it up! read more

I have found an outstanding bagel spot that truly excels in its offerings. The food is excellent. Every Sunday, I would eagerly go with my husband to indulge in their delightful poached eggs with cream cheese bagel. The cream cheese is rich in flavor. Additionally, I appreciate the side serving of fruit, which pairs perfectly with their carrot juice or iced coffee. read more

Very expensive for what you end up getting. It looks kind of cute from the outside but there is absolutely no one eating inside so I guess it's more of a to-go kind of place. I got pesto salmon toast which was kind of good but it just looked like they piled a ton of spinach on top and the egg was so messy. Every bite I took had everything falling off the toast. I also got iced vanilla coffee and it was so bland. The people seemed nice but there was a ton of junk by the bathroom so overall I wouldn't come back here. read more

Best breakfast burrito I've ever had. The eggs are super fresh, bacon and cheese are perfect, and the whole wheat wrap is grilled to perfection. AND comes with avocado which is amazing. My brother got the breakfast sandwich (not pictured) which he said was a "10/10". Service was super kind and very fast. The watermelon on the side was an unexpected treat, really appreciated. Outdoor seating outside is cute and welcoming. read more

Service here was top notch!! Came in with a large order and they were able to have it all done SO fast. I was very impressed! The food itself was delicious. I had the Chuy sandwich. It was the perfect size to fill me up and not lead to the overwhelming need for a nap after. It was a cute little brunch/lunch spot with great vibes and friendly staff!! I will be back again soon. read more

The place is located next to the high rises apartment. Their squaw bread and the cab bread is good. I got the spicy chicken sandwich and it wasn't spicy. The avocado was only hit on one side and not both side.. and also.. no prices .. 15$ for a sandwich.. gotta say it was big. The staff and owner has a smile and good customer service. The big menu with the chalk writing needs some numbers! read more

Their toasts are really good and very filling. I like that they use fresh ingredients and food is flavorful. It's healthy-ish and having it for lunch leaves you feeling light and not too full. I have only had their toasts as delivery but it's still packaged very well. My favorite is the toast with chicken, poached egg, avocado, cheese, And arugula. The cheese is a big too heavy for me so I take some off and it could use more arugula but love that they include fresh watermelon slices with your toast. The egg was poached perfectly. Next time I will try their sandwiches! Would recommend for a light, healthy-ish meal. read more

Bad vibes~ just had Deja vu walking in and remembered that 3 years ago I met my mom here and she told me my parents were splitting up. Sandwich was mediocre too. Not worth $14 for 2 slices of turkey 1 piece of bacon and 1/4 of a small avocado. The bread also cut my mouth. Safe to say I will not be returning on account of the vibes and amateur sandwich standards. read more

I ordered the Southwest sandwich and it was pretty disgusting. It was 1/2 slide of sourdough bread, guacamole spread (very thin), turkey, scrambled eggs and velvety cheese on top. I was hoping for a yummy breakfast & it wasn't good at all. The only reason why I ate it was because it was $18. Then I asked for a coffee and they offered Creammate full of seed oils and natural flavors. All in all, I paid $24 for this "breakfast". Save yourself and go somewhere else. read more

This place was so good. I have decided to come back today for a second time the thing I remembered most was their juice!

Not to be dramatic but I would absolutely do anything for Avocado Cafe. Such a delicious and filling sandwich with a cute outdoor seating area! Service was quick and the owners were super sweet. Love the decorations and plushies at the cashier. Summer Salmon: 5/5, there was actually a lot of salmon in this wrap and it tasted so refreshing! Would totally order this again. Tower 9: 5/5, loved how filling this sandwich was. The sprouts and mustard carried in terms of flavor and texture. Everything stayed intact! Not a big fan of sandwiches that fall apart so this passes! Nutella Latte: 3.5/5, tasted like a nutella latte, strong, yummy coffee flavor but it was hard to get nutella in every sip, probably wouldn't order again to try something else! read more

The owners were so very nice and accommodating. It's a small to go place in the most modern apartment complex in Irvine. You might close your eyes and think you are in New York. It's a great neighborhood. And you have to love healthy good. Lot's of great choices and places to sit outside. With all these positives, I don't think I will ever return. The sandwich I ate was delicious. The price was reasonable. The server was a kind owner. The location is near my home. Instead of being a regular, I vow to never return to this place. What could possibly keep me away? The restaurant was a complete mess: dirty, food on the floor, broken tables. I had to rearrange a set of chairs and wipe everything down. Whoever manages this restaurant does not like to clean, and I mean ever clean. One of the dirtiest restaurants in Orange County. No thank you. read more

Amazing food. The employees were very nice. Ambiance was great. All around a five star restaurant!

Decided to try this place since I work nearby and had some downtime. This place is tucked away in an apartment complex. Came here around 930 AM and there were people going in and out. I decided to try the 405 burrito, and my order came out pretty quick. The lady at the register was very helpful and was giving me suggestions for breakfast. She said her favorite was the southwest chicken toast, but I went with the burrito since it's more filling. The burrito was a solid 4/5. There's definitely places in OC with better burritos but for a small tucked away cafe, it was a solid burrito. The bacon was perfectly crispy, I wished the potatoes had some crisp to it but overall was a great burrito, can't complain. The 2 watermelon slices it came with were also a nice surprise! However, the salsa did not seem like it was made in house and they definitely bought it from the store, which was a little disappointing. Ample seating both inside and out. I would come back to try the toast she recommended and one of their sandwiches for lunch, they have a large selection and they all look great! read more

Four stars for the food but bumping my review up to five stars because the service was so good! I'm guessing it must have been the owner because he really put in effort to providing excellent service! We came here for an early morning breakfast. The place was pretty quiet at 8am on a Saturday. It's counter service and we placed our order for the salmon toast ($12) and avo toast ($8.75). The salmon toast came on squaw bread and had two poached eggs, cream cheese, spinach and some basil pesto drizzled over it. The avo toast had tomatoes, two poached eggs and sprouts on wheat toast. Both came with slices of juicy sweet watermelon. The food was nothing fancy, but everything was fresh and the eggs were cooked perfectly. Prices are reasonable too! Will try their breakfast burrito next time I'm in the area. Indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

I rarely do this but felt convicted today that I have not! This is not a big successful franchise but it is a stunningly good ma and pa that deserves everyday attention from the community. I personally have settled in on the combo of spicy chicken sandwich with tomato cheese soup. There is none better. I mean it! Give this wonderful HARD working family your business. You will not regret it!!! By the way, I don't even live by this shop. I discovered it. Do the same. Don't miss it. Btw, after reading the sparse lower rated reviews, I am convinced there are those who want our food produced in hermetically sealed environments which of course simply is not human. As my football buddy would say, " don't take the head fake!" read more

i pass by this place all the time when i'm walking my dog and finally stopped to try it today. Went around lunch time and it wasn't too crowded and there was still spots to sit. i ordered the tower 9 chicken salad sandwich and it was SOO GOOD! you have the options of chips or one big pickle, i usually give my pickle up to someone but i was solo today so went with the chips ! the lady who made my sandwich must've made it with love because it tasted perfect. they also have so many fresh smoothie options and you can see everyone doing their thing from chopping up fresh fruit to layering sandwiches perfectly. will definitely be coming back here read more

this place is great! the service is always great and their sandwich's are good quality and refreshing to eat. They are also quite big, typically half a sandwich can fill me up! The fresh chips and pickle are also great. I recently tried their nutella latte which is also pretty good. I've tried The Tuna & the Kissels club sandwich so far and both are very good. they have indoor and outdoor seating. Overall a great place to get a sandwich, it's also very quick. would definitely recommend. overall it's a 4.5/5 read more

Really nice food! This was a great place for us to stop while moving from Portland to San Diego. There are a few designated parking spots that were available when we came. We both LOVED our food and there was nice shaded seating outside. The bathroom was marked as "out of order." We asked where the nearest bathroom would be and were told that it IS working and that the sign is there just to deter grubhub/doordash workers. I thought this was mean. We should be looking out for all the service workers showing up to work right now. Additionally, the bathroom was not clean. Finally, I ordered an oat milk latte and we both think that the one I received is a milk latte (which honestly isn't that big of a deal, it just isn't the type of place I want to get lattes at in the future). read more
