A hidden gem in Irvine!…read more Great breakfast/coffee spot. Have been here a few times and each time has been a great experience. Food and coffee is consistently good. The ambiance is perfect for hanging out or getting work done. Coffee wise, have tried the Nutella Madeleine and their seasonal Pumpkin Latte. You can completely customize each drink when ordering which is so nice. Both drinks were fantastic, with the Nutella one being my fave. Food wise, the Bacon Egg and Cheese sandwich was delicious. Perfect size for breakfast. Great vibe here. Staff was very friendly. The whole place is super clean and welcoming. Will definitely be back when in the area!

Honestly disappointing, especially what appears to be good reviews of this place…read more The only positive factor I can remember is how much seating there is inside (lots of people just meeting up, working, etc). - You order on two available consoles, which you think would help with efficiency and workflow (it was pretty busy when I got there). However, it took my drink a while to come out. There was a sign above the consoles that indicate ETA of the drink. Based on the color I thought it would be a quick wait but it ended up taking 15 minutes. It seems like the coffee station, manned by one person it seems, was cranking out multiple drinks whereas the drink I got (matcha) took a long time - this is despite me being one of few matcha drinks ordered when I was waiting... - I noticed that as the barista was whisking my drink, she took the whisk out, took a look at the whisk then with her bare hands touched the tip of the whisk and reinserted it into the cup.. all without washing her hands or using gloves... I honestly wanted to say something but I was already in a rush and didn't want to make a scene at an already busy hour and the barista looked kind of frazzled already... - If you are hoping for a strong matcha, this isn't the place to go to. I got the blueberry matcha, which was a pale green in a color and it tasted like a premade mix of blueberry matcha.. although calling it matcha may be a bit generous as the drink just tasted like blueberry milk...Not sure if I'll be coming back.. not for matcha any way

On such a hot day. I was craving something fresh and nutritious after church…read more My Yelp friends led me here, and when I first walked in, there was a little bit of a line which I usually interpret as a good sign. I spent about $14 for an açai bowl their tropical mango bowl I believe. I had some modifications since I didn't like the raw coconut offering or the banana so I opted for sliced almonds and extra mango with almond butter on top. After waiting a few minutes, looking at the bowl, it didn't look like much and sadly it didn't taste like much either. The almond butter was globed on top and made it really difficult to eat. After bypassing the almond butter I was able to get into the açai which was way too sweet. I'm not sure what type of açai they use, but it did not taste like a freshly prepared açai it tasted more artificial and overly sweet. It may have also been sweet because of the honey I believe they put on top of it. The combination of the açai with the honey and then almond butter was way too sweet. The mango was OK not as firm as I would want it to be and the granola was at the bottom at the bowl and also sprinkled on top, but unfortunately it was the worst acai bowl I've ever had. Parking is free and they do offer a few seats inside. The staff was also really nice but unfortunately, if I do decide to come back maybe I'll try a smoothie instead.

Aw man. Tastea I remember was a spot that was pretty cool since they offered stevia as sweetener…read more But I have not tried it in quite a while. I decided to come back to try for their 2001 price deal, where they offer select drinks for around $2.45. ITEMS I TRIED: - STRAWBERRY ECSTEASY: unfortunately just a very artificial taste. I initially tried it with the stevia but it was too sweet, because it's already sweet from the strawberry. I asked for an adjustment, this time they did not sweeten at all, but it was still very artificial tasting and too sweet for my liking. PARKING: Good amount of parking in the plaza. SERVICE: super fast - I think the drink was pre-made to be honest. PRICE: decently priced these days but especially good during this promo. Overall, I'm sad to say that I won't be coming back. Even with a price this good, I'd rather pay a bit more for the many boba spots in Irvine.

Feel-good smoothies that are perfect for a post-workout pick-me-up!…read more I'd heard great things about Jan's and tried the Strawberry Delight. I liked that the portion was generous, though I expected it to be creamier from the coconut cream. Instead, it was more tart, and there were some unblended pieces of dates at the bottom. It wasn't too sweet which was good. The interior is spacious with plenty of seating, and the service was quick and attentive. I'd definitely come back to try another smoothie and some of their food!

I could seriously drink this all the time! I reallllly wish they would open one closer to me, like in Cerritos, Los Angeles, or even Westminster. It's a little bit of a drive all the way to Irvine, but honestly, it's worth it because this is probably my favorite mango dessert spot! The place itself is small and cute, with only a few seats inside, but they also have outdoor seating. Service is great. You're in and out. They don't take long preparing your order. Every time I go there, my order is on point and everything always comes out delicious. Parking is plentiful, which is always a plus. Definitely a must-try if you love mango desserts! ever since I discovered this place, I've been going at least twice a month. It's a 35-40 minute drive but it's so worth it.

Hui Lau Shan -- Mangoes, Brain Freeze & One Bee Awaiting the Hereafter…read more 9/7/26 -- Irvine, CA -- 5/5 After Korean BBQ, we arrived at Hui Lau Shan -- pronounced roughly hoy lo sahn in Cantonese -- already stuffed to the structural limits of the human abdomen. Naturally, this seemed like an appropriate time for dessert. Hui Lau Shan is a Hong Kong-based dessert chain heavily devoted to mango, which is immediately apparent from the display case filled with glossy dessert mannequins identified by little tags like "J3 Pomelo & Mango with Sago." The place knows its constituency. If mango is your religion, this is at minimum a chapel. The Irvine location itself is remarkably unpretentious: cracked, slightly sticky-looking concrete floors, deafening music that sounded approximately 15 years past its cultural sell-by date, and a youthful crowd containing several people whose legs appeared skinnier than my fingers. I felt less like a customer and more like an archaeological specimen temporarily admitted for observation. Being the radical nonconformist that I am, I came to a mango dessert shop and ordered the watermelon with coconut jelly. On a hot Irvine day, it was excellent -- cold, clean, refreshing and just sweet enough. 5/5. The little yellow Hui Lau Shan spoon, complete with cheerful fruit-headed mascot, provided an additional level of emotional support I did not know dessert utensils were capable of. We also had the J3 Pomelo & Mango with Sago, which arrived as mango, pomelo, sago and a scoop of mango ice cream lounging together in a bowl like wealthy relatives at a resort. Also 5/5. Cold enough to initiate a brain freeze, but on this particular evening brain activity had already been reduced considerably by KBBQ, so little was lost. The ordering system is straightforward: your receipt gives you an order number and server name, and the display samples make choosing fairly idiot-resistant. Ours even identified the J3 and the watermelon dessert clearly enough that no graduate degree in tropical fruit studies was required. There was, however, one melancholy resident inside the display case: a small bee apparently trapped behind the plastic among the immaculate fake desserts. Outside, Irvine remained warm and prosperous. Inside, mangoes glistened. The young remained young. The bee contemplated mortality. Los Angeles throws pollution into the atmosphere at rush hour; Hui Lau Shan throws mango into essentially everything else. A very good dessert stop after an irresponsibly large meal. Especially if you love mango, shaved ice, fruit desserts and the mild humiliation of realizing everyone around you appears young enough to be your intern. 5/5. If you are a mango lover, you will probably leave happy. If you are a dying bee trapped behind the dessert display, your evening is developing somewhat differently. 当然。下面是一个更简短、正式、没有幽默成分的中文版本： 许留山 Hui Lau Shan -- Irvine, CA 评分：5/5 在韩国烧烤之后，我们来到许留山吃甜品。这家店以芒果类甜品为主，店内展示了多种甜品模型，点餐方式简单直观。 我们点了西柚芒果西米和西瓜椰果甜品。西柚芒果西米包含芒果、西柚、西米和芒果冰淇淋，口感清爽，甜度适中，芒果味很突出。西瓜椰果也非常适合炎热天气，冰凉爽口，不会过甜。 店内环境现代、休闲，顾客以年轻人为主。服务和出餐流程都很直接，整体体验轻松方便。 如果喜欢芒果、西米、椰果和港式水果甜品，许留山是一个很不错的选择。 5/5，值得再来。

**Disappointing Customer Service Experience -- August 24, 2026, Around 6:00 PM**…read more I've been coming to this store almost twice a week, so I'm very familiar with what my usual smoothie should look like. Unfortunately, my experience today, **August 24th around 6:00 PM**, was extremely disappointing. I ordered the **Berry Banana Burst** with an added spinach. While watching my smoothie being prepared, I noticed the employee added what appeared to be an entire bag of spinach. I immediately knew it was significantly more than what I normally receive. I politely asked if it could be remade because the amount was excessive and completely different from the usual amount I receive. The employee went to the back and brought **Cassandra S.** out. Cassandra told me they could not remake the smoothie simply because the spinach had already been added. I was honestly shocked. I explained that this was clearly not the normal amount, but she still refused. I then asked for the other employee's name so I could provide accurate feedback, and she refused to give me her name, which I found very odd and unprofessional. Ultimately, I asked for a refund, which they provided. While I appreciate getting my money back, it raises a bigger concern: if a customer receives a drink that is incorrectly made, is the response really to refuse to fix it and simply refund the customer? That doesn't seem like good customer service or a good business practice. I actually work in the ingredient industry and sell ingredients to **Nekter**, so I have a particular understanding of how important consistency, preparation, and customer experience are. I would strongly recommend additional training for the staff at this location, particularly around customer service, product consistency, and having a customer-first mindset. I've been a loyal customer and would have much rather had my smoothie remade correctly than receive a refund. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I'll be visiting another location going forward. I hope management reviews what happened during the **August 24th, approximately 6:00 PM shift**, because this was a very disappointing experience for a regular customer.
