    Blue Hummingbird Roastery is off the beaten path. I don't think this is somewhere I would stumble upon if I wasn't intentionally driving to it. It seems like the share a parking lot with an office complex. There is some seatings inside their quaint coffee shop, and a few more in the patio area. Service was quick and friendly. I ordered the BHB Einspanner ($7.50) and I really enjoyed my drink. It was perfectly balanced between the coffee and the cream layer on top. As someone who opted to stay and enjoy my coffee in the shop I find the space really tight. A little mixed feelings because I like the coffee enough to come back for a take out situation, but they're so out of the way they would never be on my way anywhere. Mixed feelings. I am definitely rounding up this review because I really admire the owner's passion during my time there. He was experimenting on flavors with staff and passionate to perfect the ratio. They were taste testing and I can tell he puts pride into his product. I know he's limited with the space, and I really wish them all the best with the locals in this area.

    I've been wanting to try Blue Hummingbird Roastery for a while, and it did not disappoint! Their signature blue latte is definitely worth ordering--rich, smooth, and not overly sweet. The shop is tucked away in a quiet location, making it a great spot to relax on a Sunday after a hike or bike ride with friends. The atmosphere is peaceful, and the service was warm and friendly. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of their coffee creations!

    Good coffee shop with plenty of outdoor seating. The place is spacious and clean, and the staff were helpful. We ordered an Americano and a matcha. The Americano was good, but the matcha was just okay. Nice spot to sit and relax for a while. Overall, a good experience.

    The Blue Hummingbird latte iced was savory, refreshing and delicious. The blue spirulina perfectly complemented the coffee and is not too sweet. The staff were friendly and attentive as always. The ambiance is casual and airy with both indoor and outdoor seatings.

    Such a cute store! Ordered the Blue Hummingbird latte. It wasn't bad, but I was hoping for more pandan flavor. I didn't taste it at all. The owner and all the employees were really nice and they had some pretty mugs and other things on sale. There is also plenty of seating outside.

    Adorable coffee shop small but mighty! We loved enjoying the outdoor seating, and the Spanish Dark Café Latte was absolutely delicious, especially with the added cold foam. Be sure to download their rewards app for a free latte with no purchase necessary, which was such a fun bonus. Plenty of easy parking, friendly staff, and such a welcoming atmosphere. An absolute must-stop if you're in the area!

    Blue Hummingbird Coffee *November 28, 2025 *1pm- Friday *3 Stars Environment: *Large Parking Lot *In-door and Out-door Seating *Quick Service Food/Drink: *Iced Matcha Latte with Almond Milk (no sweetener) *Iced Cold Brew I stopped by Blue Hummingbird Coffee while passing through the area, and the café itself is tucked away in a business/industrial area, which actually makes it feel calm and spacious. They have plenty of seating both inside and outside, and the service was quick. I ordered an iced matcha latte, and the matcha was hand-whisked, which I appreciated. However, the flavor leaned more milky than matcha-forward, so it wasn't my favorite. The cold brew, on the other hand was pretty strong. One thing to note is that both drinks came cold but without any ice. While I liked that the cups weren't filled with ice, which usually means less drink, however, it would've been nice to have at least a little ice to keep them cold, especially since we had a 30-minute drive to our next stop. Overall, it was an okay experience. The space is nice, the parking is easy, and the drinks were decent, but I'd probably wouldn't come back again.

    COLD BREW fans wanting a successful home brew experience??? Then look no further than Blue Hummingbird Roastery in Irvine for not only the right supplies you'll need, but the right recipe and tips from the owner, Mo himself. We had a perfect brew from the first attempt and trust me when I say this, we have tried so many times before. Our cupboards were full of various gadgets that promised a consistent cold brew and failed to deliver. But after our first batch, we donated them all! Hear me out, the "Toddy" equipment has no kitchen counter esthetics and the first up front cost seemed high for something with no chrome, metal or electronics at all. At the time I bought my "Toddy", there was a deal off the beans if bought at the same time. What I love about Blue Hummingbird is that everything you need, they sell there. The "Toddy" is the same brewing method they use in the roastery but the home version is on a much smaller scale. The freshly roasted beans on the shelves for sale are clearly marked to let you know if they work well for cold brew. Anyone behind the counter will tell you which blend they use in-house for their cold brew so you can copy it at home. They were so sweet to even write the grind number on the bottom of my bag so I'd remember when I needed more. The cold brew you make is a concentrate and they will give you a recommendation on what ratio of water to add so we had fun finding just the right strength. Best part of the entire experience is now when we travel and visit local coffee roasters, we buy beans with confidence knowing when we get home we will be able to brew a fantastic cold brew and it's all thanks to Blue Hummingbird Roastery in Irvine!

    Cute seasonal decor inside. Small space but bright and cozy
    Laura H.

    Blue Hummingbird Latte: 3/5. I wasn't expecting a desserty drink, but it was still a bit too bland for me. I was really hoping for a stronger pandan flavor, maybe it was meant to be subtle. I had to dump the ice when I got home to avoid diluting the coffee. Dark Chocolate Hazelnut gelato: 5/5. $3.50 for a single scoop, which is decent for a delicious dairy treat compared to overpriced trendy (and stingy) ice cream. This was very decadent, but I easily destroyed it on a hot afternoon after work. Since they roast their own coffee, I had to try a bag. The Laurina beans made some great brewed coffee at home! Not too acidic or bitter, which I appreciated. Interior is small but cute and bright, with part of their roastery visible on one side. Both baristas provided quick service and were knowledgeable about the shop's offerings.

    Cute little place hidden away. Just found it driving by. Coconut coffee is good and strong. Pesto turkey sandwich is really good and toasted perfectly. Will gladly be back when in the area again. Nice employees too.

    Special coffee space vibing with gelato, bright and inviting coffee shop; I found clean bathrooms, plenty of parking, and nice outdoor tables too. The specialty menu called to me. Got myself an orange something latte, glad they took my glass but noticed no personal cup discount. Oh well. Maybe that's only Starbucks out west. I enjoyed a tasty sip all the way to a cold beach for the one week Newport got a lot of rain.

    Matcha latte with vanilla cream

    Been going here for a while now. Coffee is pretty solid, and so is the matcha. Staff are pretty Ok. They also have pretty good pastries and ice cream/gelato. Some good interior and exterior seating good for work.

    I don't know how I had never heard of Blue Hummingbird before, but I am so glad to have been introduced to the roastery. This location has an excellent menu of coffees, matchas, and gelato! I got their namesake latte, which is pandan-based. This is such a unique flavor and is not too sweet. Very refreshing over ice! The space has some seating inside, and plenty of outdoor seating. I went on a Saturday morning and there was a bit of a wait, but the baristas were very friendly.

    This is kind of funny…read more After work, I was searching for a coffee shop nearby like I usually do, but nothing really caught my attention. So I decided to search outside the area where I live, and that's how I ended up finding this place. The funny part is that I had actually been wanting to visit this coffee shop because I saw their "Fun Flight" menu and thought it looked so interesting. I kept telling myself that I had to come try it someday. But when I searched this time, I was actually looking for a real coffee roaster and ended up here without even realizing it was the same place. Parking was easy and there were plenty of spaces. There are also other shops around, so I don't think parking would be much of an issue. The coffee shop itself was clean, bright, and nice and cool inside. I noticed one of the employees carefully cleaning the glass, and they kept wiping down empty tables and windows throughout the time I was there. Honestly, I've rarely seen someone cleaning so consistently at a coffee shop, and I really appreciated it. It made me feel like they genuinely care about cleanliness. Since it was already afternoon, I wanted something decaf, so I asked if they roast their own decaf coffee. They told me that they roast everything themselves, which immediately gave me more confidence in the coffee. I ordered a flat white and sat down, but then I realized I had completely forgotten to say "iced." Sure enough, I saw the employee making a hot drink. Well... that's totally on me! Soon my coffee came out with a beautiful latte art on top. And then I took my first sip... Oh my goodness. This is GOOD coffee! There was a slight acidity at first, but as I kept drinking, the acidity faded and I was left with a smooth, nutty, creamy latte flavor. I personally prefer medium roasts over dark roasts, and this roast was exactly my kind of coffee. Now I'm suddenly very curious about their matcha, too. I also liked that the overall pricing wasn't too expensive. The Wi-Fi did seem a little slow at times, but it wasn't slow enough to really bother me. And now I'm still sitting here debating whether I should order the matcha latte... The coffee was definitely delicious, and I already know I'll be coming back. Next time, I'm absolutely getting the Fun Flight so I can try several different coffees! Great coffee, clean space, friendly service, and reasonable prices. Definitely worth another visit!

    Came here on a whim yesterday to nest and study and I am so glad that I did! The coffee shop had…read moreplenty of seating and was very clean (I'm a neat freak so was definitely happy about this). They also had several outlets for to charge devices if needed and delicious air conditioning. The baristas were very friendly and kind and the atmosphere felt very comfy and relaxing. I especially liked their very chill music playlist. I ordered: - iced matcha latte w oat milk and vanilla (barista recommended) - banana oatmeal with cinnamon, peanut butter and choco chips - plain bagel w cream cheese I really enjoyed the iced matcha, it is probably one of the better ones I have in OC. The matcha was super smooth and with the addition of the vanilla it created a sweet happy layer to it. I need to come back to try the other drinks! The banana oatmeal, while looking very tasty, didn't pass my satisfaction meter. The oatmeal in the bowl was cold and it was a thin layer of oats that laid on the bottom of the bowl. Presentation great, but for 9$, I would have wanted there to be at least 1-2 more scoops of oats in there to make it worth it. The plain bagel with cream cheese, I really enjoyed. The bagel was huge and it has a good toastiness to it. Additionally, the cream cheese was very light, not too rich and it helped make a delicious carb. Overall, I would definitely come back here to try other drinks and pastries from their menu! I also loved that the parking lot is easy to access and there are ample spots! Definitely try this spot, if you're in the area!

Most seating is indoors with a couple of outdoor tables too. I ordered a hot Spanish latte plus chose a blueberry jam muffin from the pastry case. And a Campfire Cookie as a bonus. The place was fairly full but I found a seat at a counter. The Spanish latte was superb with smooth coffee and cinnamon flavors that blended for a perfectly balanced profile. I appreciated it was at an immediately drinkable temperature. The muffin was really, really good. Really. It was moist, fresh, and full of blueberries and a layer of blueberry jam. The big cookie was quite good, although in all honesty I've had better in this genre. I didn't stay long as there was some annoying guy who'd set up office at a table with his AirPods firmly inserted and loudly giving legal advice in an obnoxious manner that is typical of ambulance-chaser lawyers. Why do coffee shops put up with this?

We have been on a hunt to find the best matcha in Orange County and this was officially stop 26 for us, so we take this pretty seriously at this point.

Overall the place itself was a very cool spot, honestly the kind of place you would want to post up at and get some work done. The decor and artwork were really different and cool to see, definitely gave the place its own personality. The staff were extremely sweet and welcoming too, made the whole visit that much better. As for the matcha themselves, they were actually pretty good. The matcha latte was nice and smooth with a very balanced taste, slightly bitter even with the added lavender but still easy to enjoy overall. Next time we are probably going to ask for light ice and maybe an extra pump of lavender or vanilla just to cut back on that bitterness a bit. As for the ube matcha, that one was very good too, though mine had way too much ice and was gone in like three sips unfortunately. The flavor of the ube came through nicely and was pretty balanced, though I would have liked a little more matcha flavor since the ube can easily take over. Overall, not bad matchas at all, though not the best we have had on this journey, but still worth a stop if you need something quick and good.
