    Churro latte  Chocolate chip cookie
    Vanessa T.

    The coffee was super good and the cookie was to die for. The interior was very clean and it looked like a nice place to do work or study! The outside was very nice as well outside and indoor seating. The service was good and fast. The only thing that was kind of a hassle was the fact that you have to get a ticket to validate after but other than that was super good!

    Focaccia
    Yurie H.

    Have come here a couple of times but the food is solid and not horribly expensive. Ellie table is located in a business structure, parking is validated with purchase of food. Today I got the focaccia turkey sandwich and my husband got the salad. Focaccia was toasted and warm, like how they stuffed it with plenty of turkey, salad was fresh and light. I've gotten the burrito and omelette here before and both are delicious. Would love to try coming here for lunch next time!

    Breakfast burrito heaven!
    Michael S.

    It's located in a trendy I was blown away by my breakfast burrito!!! The tortilla was grilled/pressed which was a great surprise. The little sausage cubes were spicy and the creamy sauce inside was great. The photos don't do it justice-- this thing is hefty! I'm a very big eater and I was stuffed afterwards. The only downside was my coffee. I ordered nitro but was served a cold brew. Regardless, the coffee was mediocre -- too watered down and flavorless. My wife's latte was really good, if that's your vibe. I'm hoping for a better caffeine fix on my next visit. The location is random and inaccessible, unless you live in the immediate area. We parked in the "20 minute parking" spots but I'm not sure what it would have cost to park in the proper lot. There is plenty of outdoor seating scattered on the campus with nice landscaping and unique architecture. People watching was really fun, with young business types in snazzy clothes pacing around making work calls. Otherwise, you can eat inside of Ellie's. If you want to have a leisurely breakfast in a pretty setting, I highly recommend it! If you're looking for an ultra quick something on the way to work, I'd pass on it.

    Tarragon Palm Sandwich x 2
    RACHEL G.

    The Tarragon Palm Sandwich is SO good ! The cheese roll is SO fresh & soft, and impaired with a nice hearty portion of the chicken salad makes for a great little snack or you can get two of them to make a nice little lunch ! I also ordered the pasta salad which has a bit of sweetness. Pricing was very reasonable for the quality/taste !

    Chimichurri Tri Tip Sandwich
    Denise V.

    Stopped by Ellie's Table because we wanted food after picking up coffee nearby. I feel like there's been an uptick in to-go breakfast/lunch spots in Irvine that close at 3 PM and are open for limited days. Ellie's Table is located to the left when you exit the parking structure, tucked into an apartment complex lobby, with validated parking available. The menu is huge, offering a mix of made-to-order breakfast and lunch items like burgers and burritos, as well as a selection of premade sandwiches, wraps, quiches, and pastries. There are also plenty of vegetarian options. The pastry case had unique items like honey whiskey pecan sticky buns, fruit danishes, berry crostatas, thick lemon poppyseed and carrot cake slices for only $5 (a crazy steal!!), and a variety of quiches, wraps, and salads. Prices across the board were surprisingly reasonable, especially considering today's economy. Almost all made-to-order dishes were under $16, which is a rare and welcome find. We ended up ordering and trying the following: *Elote Wrap: Refreshing and flavorful, with sweet corn, avocado, and pico. Not dry at all. *Bacon, Egg, Scallion & Pepper Jack Cheese Burrito ($8.50): great deal and came with tasty salsa verde! *Chimichurri Tri-Tip Sandwich ($15.50): had 4 thick slices of perfectly cooked tri-tip. Flavorful, juicy, and generous. *Ham and Swiss Cheese Croissant ($8) - Flaky, huge (hence the pricetag), and satisfying. *Kouign Amann ($5.50): Easily the best purchase. An absolute standout. Freshly torched sugar on top made it feel like a crème brûlée hybrid. Loaded with custard, silky, and not overly sweet. Would come back again just for this. The outdoor seating area is beautiful and serene, with the low-hanging olive trees and boardwalk with plenty of tables. Service was friendly and helpful, with staff giving us time to explore the menu and offering great recommendations. Everything was great and there are so many more things I want to try here. I'll definitely be back!!

    Came here in the afternoon to grab items off their holiday menu. They have a parking structure and they validate for 2 hours, so parking was not an issue. They also have a few tables here as well for seating; there were plenty of tables when I visited (and even more seating outside!) I ordered a peppermint mocha that was on their seasonal menu which was made in a timely manner. It wasn't on the sweet side which was perfect but I really enjoyed the bits of candy cane they threw on there. I also got their peppermint macaron that had even bigger chunks in less square area - I actually loved the minty flavor of this the most. It's a nice laid back area here - I kinda like the plaza that Ellie's Table is at!

    Nitro cold brew with sugar-free vanilla syrup
    Ashley R.

    I got a nitro cold brew with sugar-free vanilla syrup. I'm glad that they offer sugar-free syrup. I thought that it had a pleasant flavor, although it was not super stand out. because it was a nitro cold brew it was pretty smooth and not as deep in coffee flavor as some other cold brews. I thought it was interesting that they roast Wilson beans for their cold brew. I've been to Wilson's coffee shop and I'm not super fond of it. I was surprised i enjoyed this coffee as much as i did considering it was wilson's beans. My grandparents both got decaf Americano. my grandmother added Stevia to hers and my grandfather drank it black. They both liked them. I really liked all of the decorations on the wall. It felt upscale yet rustic at the same time. it's located in an upscale business plaza. It feels very corporate, but the establishment itself felt homie. it was on the pricey side. They accepted contactless payment. The staff were all very helpful . they answered my questions and we're friendly and smiley . There's not a restroom in the establishment, but there is one around the corner in the office. It was easy to find parking. Overall, I had a good experience and would love to return it and try more menu items if they invite me back.

    Sundried Tomato Blt
    Aubree K.

    I visited Ellie's table today and enjoyed my experience. However, I will mention that parking and finding the restaurant is not easy. You will need to park in the parking structure and the restaurant is attached to an office building. The food, on the other hand was delicious. I ordered the sundered tomato BLT and enjoyed it. The bread was toasted perfectly in addition to thick slices of bacon. I also ordered a latte (not pictured), the latte was okay, not anything that stood out to me, but an average latte. The service was quick and the overall atmosphere was pleasant.

    Love both their butter and chocolate croissants here, it's fresh and always served hot.

    Breakfast burrito
    Mo L.

    Staff is super nice in the little cafe with cool outside areas to lounge and eat. Food is not exceptional but quick and filling. Mostly grab and go as it is a corporate setting I had a burrito that had a big amount of egg with umderwelming amount of bacon and cheese. Drip coffee fresh but not strong, very mild roast I would recommend just dropping a n getting a drink and on a hot sunny day enjoying the courtyard amount the tall corporate buildings

    Walkway to location
    Shayla W.

    I always love coming here for lunch while I'm at work. Their turkey palm sandwiches are to die for and their kale salad is always amazing. You can't beat the price point here for a quick lunch at about $12 for two turkey palms and a salad! The only downside is parking is a bit weird since it's in a corporate center.

    Kaitlyn A.

    Great spot for a quick bite of caffeine fix in Irvine! Located in a corporate building center with ample outdoor seating and work space. They validate parking for 2hr at the nearby structure or have 20min pickup spots out front. We placed an order pickup which was easy and ready right on time when we arrived. Amongst our group we ordered the churro latte, pumpkin cold brew, lavender matcha latte, honey oat latte, lavender lemonade, and the dragon fruit lemonade. All of the drinks were delicious and they use Kean coffee beans, which are my personal favorite. The pastries here are AMAZING, the biggest croissants I have ever seen. Would love to come back for lunch and try some of their salads and sandwiches!

This location is much closer to home, so I visited one afternoon when craving their cookies. The interior is modern, classy-bougie, with 4 tables and a large cushy chair. I ordered two cookies, the chocolate chip walnut and peanut butter chocolate, along with an iced horchata latte. I sat at one of the tables, opened the box my cookies were presented in, and found myself in cookie ecstasy. The cookies are fat mountains of deliciousness. Slightly crisp outside and soft inside (note: even softer if taken home and warmed up). The chocolate chip was crammed full of chips and the walnuts were in tiny bits to keep the cookie's texture soft. The chocolate cookie was also enormous and had an abundance of peanut butter chips. Both were superb. The horchata latte had just enough ice to keep it cold. It had a bold flavor of cinnamon which I loved. Staff here were friendly, efficient, and speedy. I like the vibe of this place but like their cookies even more.

I only wanted the latte but these cookies were callin me, so of course I had to pick up that phone! First the service. 5* - The one customer in front of me was being indecisive and took way too long, but this is not the faultof the restaurant. What I loved is that the person behind the counter was super genuine and nice. She saw I was waiting patiently for the customer and went above and beyond to help me bypass the wait. I chose to be patient as I wasn't in a rush. Thank you though! The Latte 5* - Sea Salt Caramel Latte. I picked something I've had many times before and mostly just wanted the caffeine. Absolutely wonderful latte. The foam, the caramel, the coffee. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be. The Cookies - Cookies-n-cream 5*. This blew me away. Its their most popular item. There were samples and before I could stop myself, I had 3 samples. Lol so gooood! Warmed my cookie up when I got home and it got even better than 5*. - Pistachio Cookie 5* This was so good. If it had a chocolate shell on the outside it would've been a Dubai Chocolate Cookie and sold for 3x the price. ( Hint hint Paderia! ) I love how both cookies were exactly the same in chewy texture and quality, and so different in flavor and experience. So good I ate both in one day. Keep it up, Madeira! Ill be back!

KRISP is an interesting place in that it was very busy, but I didn't see a single person content with their order, and multiple people coming to the counter to address issues they had with their order (myself included). The staff are nice, but they definitely seemed overwhelmed and on their back foot trying to keep up with everyone. They use a digital kiosk for ordering which can be convenient, but is frustrating to use when you find out that the things you ordered are out of stock after you've paid and waited for the items (which happened to me). The shop itself has indoor and outdoor seating, but the layout makes the entrance get congested because you're picking up your order where people are entering which isn't ideal. On the food and beverage front, we tried a bunch of stuff: Blueberry Matcha and Strawberry Matcha: The blueberry matcha is extremely sweet (they said it's their sweetest matcha), and the strawberry matcha isn't far behind that. My biggest issue is their matches are all pre-sweetened, so you can't even adjust the sweetness because it's in their matcha already. The term "organic ceremonial grade Uji matcha" should have never been used for pre-sweetened matcha like this, because it was a disgrace to the term. KRISP Breakfast Burrito: These burritos are pre-made and delivered by a third party and then nuked in a microwave before serving. It's the same thing you'd get at most other coffee shops (ie Alfred). The red salsa it comes with is great though, but the burrito is just fine considering what it is. Almond Croissant: oh man I really wanted to like this, especially since I saw how much almond filling they used. Unfortunately the filling was completely bland, so there wasn't much almond going on with this. Ham & Cheese Croissant: This was also bland, and looked like someone had stepped on it. Just a real sad state of affairs. Berry Orchard Açaí Bowl: Probably the best thing we got, but I hate how they serve it in one of those parfait cups because all the contents keeps spilling out as you eat it. I wish it was in an actual bowl so you can eat it without losing half the toppings to the ground. Overall, I don't see a reason to come back here, and really don't think it's worth the cost given the quality of everything. As others have said, there's a lot of solid options in the area that deserve your patronage over this place.

The space itself is absolutely stunning with lots of seating both inside and outside. The store has a lot of floral decor, which gives it a very clean and spring vibe. The standouts for me here was the banana pudding, Matcha and the array of pastries they had available. We purchased two drinks here, one of which was the banana pudding Matcha and the other was a tiramisu cold brew. The banana pudding Matcha is one of the best drinks I've ever had with a rich high-quality Matcha and fresh creamy banana pudding inside. It's basically two desserts in one, and the flavors complement each other so well. Highly highly recommend - it's viral for a reason. The tiramisu cold brew was also good, although next time I would probably opt for a latte on the bottom since the cold brew is pretty strong. The foam on top was sweet and creamy. The pastries here are absolutely stunning, and I wish I could buy the entire display case. We ended up purchasing a Dubai chocolate croissant and a plain salt bread. The Dubai chocolate croissant was very unique - on the drier side but it definitely had that crunch and flake. I wish they had a little bit more chocolate or buttery elements to balance out the dryness of the cocoa powder. The salt bread was absolutely delicious, very well-made with a chewy texture. I will 100% be back to try everything else that Bag of Cakes has to offer. Highly recommend! We visited on a weekday during the afternoon since it was spring break, and there wasn't a line, but I've heard that lines can get long. There is plenty of parking in the plaza that it's located in. Definitely check this place out!!

    When they first opened, the line was out the door, long, and unbearable (I'm not good with lines),…read moreso I left after seeing how crazy slow it was moving. I returned on a different day, same thing, so I left. Fast forward to May of 2026, I happen to be in the shopping center, so I decided to check it out. No line. The pastry cases looked amazing. There were so many choices; it was really hard to decide. There were several workers, but they seemed pretty uninterested in helping. No pep in the step, no energy, no eagerness to start ANY kind of small talk. This is so crazy. If you're walking into a small bakery that needs your business, why wouldn't they make a little more effort in creating a welcoming atmosphere for people who walk in, ready to dish out the pricey price for your pastries?! It makes no sense to me unless they are being paid very little or not being trained on etiquette and customer service. Just go into any Trader Joe's for reference: their cashier service is very welcoming and kind--and they are a huge grocery chain! It's not just this small bakery, I found worse non-service at the Fountain Valley location of Paderia! That review is next. I hate giving a 2-star review. But, the actual pastries I got were stale, dry, at least a day old, not fresh, FULL-priced pastries. I've gotten better tasting day old/end of day pastries from Too Good to Go, but they were severely discounted! I'm not sure how long they will get away with charging full price for stale pastries. Even my kids said the same thing. I was like is it just me? Incredulously thinking, it can't be, and sure enough, I read the reviews, and someone else said the same thing. I get it's a tough business. It's so sad all around. They should be getting a lot more tax breaks than big corporations do (who pay no taxes and pay to rig the rules), but there are several areas of improvement that could be made that is under their control. Maybe make fewer pastries each day, train your workers, etc. The cream and custard fillings are good, but I'm not going back.
