    I had to write a review because Café Irvine absolutely exceeded my expectations. I ordered the breakfast burrito with bacon, and it was huge -- packed, flavorful, and they give both green and red salsa, which I appreciate since I always run out elsewhere. The portion was so generous I only ate half and saved the rest. I also got the iced Spanish latte, and it was perfect: strong coffee flavor, not overly sweet, with a subtle cinnamon finish. Easily one of my new favorite coffee spots in the area. The café offers healthier options, and the entire deli is kosher and halal, which is impressive for a place this size. The menu rotates every few months, so there's always something new to try. Location-wise, it's inside the 19000 MacArthur "pancake" building with free parking validation, which is a huge perk in this area. UCI students and building employees get 20% off. What really makes it special is how passionate the owner is -- not from the restaurant industry originally, but genuinely invested in serving good, wholesome food. Minority-owned, community-oriented, and it shows. Whether you're working nearby, staying in a hotel close by, or just passing through the Irvine/Newport area, this spot is absolutely worth checking out. I'll definitely be back -- and I'll be using them for catering soon too.

    Nice little hidden gem near the airport. Great food and great service. I work in the building and would much rather get something made from scratch from a local business than go to one of the fast food chains nearby. You have to enter a parking garage to access it, but they validate parking.

    Got a cute yummy sandwich. Like this place! Customer service is. Love the breakfast sandwich too !

    Team is always super friendly and their home made salsa is FIRE. Great place to grab a bite then run back up to the office!

    Their Greek bowl is really good. The chicken is very tasty and the salad is very refreshing. It's a must try!

A solid breakfast burrito and I see why it makes so many Top OC lists. Without a doubt it is a top tier option. Great tasting. I ordered the bacon and left fully satisfied. I laughed reading the comments about the grease. Inside the tortilla are freshly cooked eggs, cheese, tater tots and a protein option what do you expect? If you want to eat clean stick to Avocado toast and fresh fruit. Parking is inside a large garage. The levers were raised this morning but I believe they validate parking. Service was slow because the cashier was inputting a large ordering and I bet they had several online orders as well (its near a plethora of businesses) I will go back to The Trough UNLESS the Cut starts serving their breakfast burritos all days of the week. If they go that route, I will drive the extra 6 minutes off the 405 and go there instead.

    Very friendly staff. Inside was very clean, indoor and outdoor seating…read more Got the latter, orange juice and the breakfast burrito. Latte was good considering it comes from one of those automated machines. Orange juice was fresh and ice cold, perfect. Burrito was big, filled and hot. Perfecto split honestly. Parking is a garage BUT it's free validation they offer so that good. Def will be back to try their sandwiches next.

    I always order the turkey sub from the secret menu. 10/10 best thing on the menu, I would eat one…read moreevery day! I frequent both HB and CM locations pretty often. I've started physically pointing it out to the people ringing it up to make sure I'm not ordering the turkey CLUB from the regular menu. Alas, more than half the time I'm given the wrong sandwich. This happens to me at both the Costa Mesa and Huntington location and it's turning me off from wanting to keep coming here, as I don't want to repeatedly go back and say, "hey, wrong sandwich... again." Again. Again. Aaaaand again. Literally it's happened like 6 or 7 times and I wish I was being dramatic. $11 for a sandwich, and it's wrong more than half the time. Board and Brew- I am exhausted after work, I just want the sandwich I ordered, I do not like bacon, I like pepperoncini, boom bam, I don't know. It's just disappointing and makes me wanna crash out. Anyway, I'd give 5 stars if the one sandwich I ordered was made correctly, but it hardly ever is and now I'm burnt from wanting to eat here. 3 stars for having two sandwiches with too similar of names that almost always gets messed up?
