    The orange and cranberry kale salad was so delicious! There is an option to add more protein to the salad with a small cost and I opted for blackened salmon. While the salmon was flavourful, it was a little too cooked for my liking. It was probably fully cooked because it wasn't sashimi grade, but then again how can I expect it to be sashimi grade when it's so cheap! All in the all, I was quite pleased with the meal and I will definitely be back to try out more dishes!

    Yelpers weren't kidding about this cafe being nestled in a mega-church -- it's in the worship center of a Google campus-esque church. The built environment is beautiful, and the cafe has everything a person could want, whether for meeting up with friends or working for long hours.

They have a restoration fee hidden under their agreement on line 55 that says you have to pay $1,300 for a 200 sq. ft. space after three months to restore the office to the way it was. Even though I didn't put anything on the walls and there was nothing changed in the office, all I had was my desk. I asked them to reduce the fee since it was only there for three months and not a year and they did reduce it but only by 50%. The fact that it exists at all is ridiculous and the fact that it's hidden is even more sketchy. Be aware if you come to this place because there are these hidden fees that they don't present to you up front. They pass them off as an agreement and not a lease so that they can hide their fees. I also tried to extend my lease by a month even though my office I was in was taken. I asked to move to another office but then they said I had to pay the restoration fee for that office as well, which again is completely ridiculous. If you're gonna charge a fee, make sure it's clear and up front. Don't hide it halfway down a huge agreement. I think this is totally against the California Hidden Fees Act too.

    I was staying at a hotel across the street for a few days and went looking for a good coffee shop…read moreon this side of town. I actually tried another nearby place first, only to discover it was closed for renovations--and I am SO glad it was, because otherwise I might never have found Long Black. I ended up coming here three times. No regrets. My first visit, I ordered the Biscoff cookie coffee and a spam, egg & cheese croissant. The coffee was delicious and, surprisingly, not overly sweet at all. You could still really taste the quality of the coffee underneath the flavor. And the spam, egg & cheese croissant? LIFE-CHANGING. Seriously. The next day I came back and tried their popular hazelnut Einspänner. I was not prepared for how thick the cream layer on top would be at first, but I let it sit for a bit while I drove to the office and allowed the cream to melt into the coffee a little. AMAZING. I love hazelnut, and this was so good. Naturally, I had to come back one more time before leaving and tried the banana cloud coffee. Again: fantastic. What impressed me most across all three drinks was the balance. Their flavored coffees aren't "sugar with some coffee." You taste the COFFEE first, then the rich cream and flavor, and then just enough sweetness. That's really hard to do well, and they absolutely nail it. I also tried an almond croissant, which was very good--and I say that as an almond-croissant heat-seeking missile who will find every great almond croissant within striking distance. They told me they bake their pastries in-house that morning, and you can tell. I eventually brought my sister with me, and she loved it too, including her regular croissant. Beyond the food and drinks, I loved watching the staff work. Everyone seemed genuinely dedicated to what they were doing and to the craft of making really good coffee. I came here because another coffee shop was closed. I came back twice because Long Black was THAT good. This will absolutely be my coffee stop anytime I'm on this side of town again.

Long Black has the option of online ordering but I decided to stop in to check out the ambiance. I found the interior much more spacious and welcoming than I'd expected seeing how weird the angle of the door to the cafe. We placed our orders and see several people already enjoying the space. The coffee and matcha are great. I see Long Black also joining the trend of offering season "Orange cream" type of a foam or note.... They took it up a notch by adding the essence of orange cream liqueur. I had to give it a try, and it wasn't bad, but the orange cream flavor didn't hold up the way I wanted. It dissolved pretty quickly, so by the end, it felt more like I was just drinking cold brew with a hint of orange. I should had stuck with my usual and favorite Biscoff Pannna Coffee!!

I had a shot of their milkblend espresso over ice and my friend tried the vanilla latte. We were severely disappointed. The espresso was very sour, acidic, and slightly bitter. The vanilla latte tasted like sweet milk. I do not recommend the drinks at all, unless that is your type of flavor profile. The ambiance is very nice, it cultivates a work study vibe, and it seems it's a stop for morning walkers/friends catching up. You can order at a kiosk at the entrance or with the cashier. It is straightforward service, but it took about 20 minutes for our 2 drinks on a Friday morning. There is plenty of parking as its in a shared plaza.

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. My wife ordered the matcha latte with light ice and lavender syrup, and I went with the ube matcha latte as recommended by the barista. 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.
