This is an excellent coffee shop in one of the office parks in Irvine near spectrum. There is a lot…read moreof great indoor and outdoor seating, although it does tend to get busy. On this visit, I had the caramel banana latte, which had a very nice flavor and was not too sweet. The only complaint (and I'm not docking points here), is that the bathroom is not within the cafe, and you have to get a key card from the staff in order to use the restroom (can be difficult if there is a long line to order).

There is lots of seating inside and out with spaces for working/studying more inside and relaxing outside. Its also a great place if you want to take some nice IG photos. The staff is friendly and make drinks quickly. But the coffee drinks themselves are just ok. We both had Cortados this time and they were a little tasteless and too hot. Drinkable but not worth coming back for. Last time I came in alone and had a Flat White that was terrible and I dumped it out. I did not have time to ask for another but I'm sure they would have remade it. Wall Writers is located in an office complex but in a good way. There is plenty of free parking and in the afternoon and on Saturdays you can park right at the entrance. The restroom is located in a separate building across the courtyard and watching people search for it can be mildly entertaining LOL It is a nice place to work with plenty of natural light and a wonderful patio for enjoying nice weather. I just wish the drinks were a little better. But because of the convenient location I will probably try it again. Maybe Ill try something iced?

No monthly fees. No minimum balance. A decent savings rate. Sounds perfect, right?…read more Well... not quite. I recently came in to make a deposit, and the whole experience was just frustrating. I was stuck behind someone at the ATM who was taking forever, only to realize the machine wasn't working and wouldn't accept his deposit. Thankfully there was a Loomis employee working on the ATM next to it, so I asked if she could help. At first she said no, but then mentioned she could try resetting it. Luckily that seemed to fix the issue, and we were finally able to move forward. The bigger problem is just how painfully slow these machines are. Every single step takes forever. For a bank this size, you'd think they would invest in faster, more reliable ATMs. The screen proudly says you can deposit up to 200 bills at once, which sounds impressive... except I only inserted around 20 bills and it still rejected a few of them. The bills weren't old, wrinkled, or damaged either, they were perfectly fine. I ended up having to feed the remaining bills in individually, and with how slow the machine processes everything, the deposit took way longer than it should have. Another disappointing change: the restroom that used to be available for customers is now marked "employees only." Small thing maybe, but it definitely doesn't make the branch feel very customer-friendly. The banking perks are great on paper, but the in-person experience is a whole different story.

Lots of seating inside and outside, feels like it is always pretty packed.

What a beautiful cafe located in a park! You can eat outside with a stunning view!…read more We were greetly immediately when we walked in. The cashier explained the menu items and suggested a few of her favorites. We ordered the pesto chicken flatbread. It came out toasted, topped with a mountain of arugula, and drizzled with balsamic vinegar. It was soo good! I love arugula! We also ordered the avocado toast topped with an egg and more arugula!!! Yesss! We wanted to try one of their coffees as well so we got a mocha latte. Very yummy!! And for something sweet, we got the belgium special crepe! OMG it was so pretty i didnt want to eat it! The chocolate was very rich and paired really well with the strawberries and bananas. We had a very nice brunch sitting outside looking at the park and views. I can't wait to go back and try the other menu items. 10/10

The barbecue flatbread pizza was amazing too super flavorful and soft! & our strawberry lemonade was super good. honestly, I feel like this would be such a cute DATE SPOT or just to getting some food here.

RAF coffee was definitely a treat, super smooth and creamy, and I can see why it's popular. I think the banana mocha is a great drink for folks who aren't huge coffee drinkers. Bumble coffee was a bit too acidic for me with the OJ. Prices are reasonable and their seasonal drinks are novel enough that I plan to return on a semi-regular basis.

Lavender latte was just at the right sweetness and the proportion of espresso and milk was just perfect to me. Yum! Easily accessible with a stroller + there's a secluded wide seat in their indoor seating area. I was the only customer at the time of my visit but there are really plenty of cozy spots. The drink was made quickly. Although I like lattes from the nearby place KRISP, they are ALWAYS slow to make one, there is always a line and the seating area is tiny. Pollen and Pour is a gem, please keep it up! I wish the hours would be longer though

Perfect for a quick bite or drink! We got the egg, potato and cheese burrito. It hit the spot! It was crispy and had perfect portions. I'm glad they didn't have meat in it too. I also got a matcha with oat milk and some protein. I can tell they don't add sugar to their matcha which I appreciate. We'll be coming back here for breakfast. Since we were at a workshop, we didn't have much time in between sessions but they were quick with our order. The decor in the shop is festive with fall which adds such a nice touch.

It's a small boba tea shop with a simple, clean interior (which I actually love--it's not overly decorated or cluttered). It's a great little place to meet up with friends and just hang out. Service is quick and easy. You can order online for pickup or use their kiosk in-store. The staff is friendly and always greets you when you walk in, which makes the experience even better. Now the drinks... SO good. I got the passion fruit peach green tea, and my husband got the pineapple green tea. Both were super light, refreshing, and not overly sweet at all--which we really appreciated. Honestly, we finished them wishing we had ordered more. Safe to say I'll definitely be a regular here. Highly recommend giving this place a try--it's 100% worth it!!

This yummy tea spot is definitely worth a try for people who appreciate tea quality and care more…read moreabout it than toppings. Highly recommended over The Alley at Spectrum. Really appreciate their fruit tea selection since that's my go-to drink. They even put the quantity of fruit they use in each drink (e.g., 1 peach, 40 blackberries) Passion Peach tea is so good! It's excellent quality and made with real fruit. I recommend starting at 50% sugar if you like drinks to be less sweet, then work your way down from there. Blackberry Rock is also delicious and would be a hit for oolong lovers. Keep in mind they put around 40 blackberries inside so you'll be crunching lots of seeds (I wish they would remove about half the seeds). 50% is a little bitter to start with, so I recommend starting a step above. Also hope they'll use bigger ice cubes - the small aerated cubes melt too fast. Was really disappointed by their topping selection, It's really bold to only have 4 options, but as I mentioned, for those who don't care for toppings or get the classic boba each time you're fine. Service is fine. They're quick and focus more on making drinks than taking orders (plenty of iPads to order on, can flag them down if you need help/have questions and they're nice about it) and there's a fair amount of seating inside. Maybe not the best for studying due to lack of space, but okay for short and small social gatherings. Lack of topping options would be the reason HN Tea won't make it into my OC favorites, but I will return when I'm around Spectrum and craving tea without toppings.

The outside seating area is spacious and a share amongst other restaurants in that strip mall. We decided to sit outside so they brought the food to us, which is a nice add. We tried their breakfast burrito, their avocado, toast, and their chicken club sandwich. I have to say, the potatoes were amazing! They use sourdough bread, which is my absolute favorite and you can tell that it is fresh. The avocado was delicious on the toast as well. The burrito is very good and also a huge portion just as the rest of the food. All in all, if we ever go back to Irvine, we know where to go for breakfast and brunch !

After I finished my lunch, I didn't feel super stuffed at all. Seeing they have breakfast options, a few days later I brought my daughter over for early breakfast. We ordered the French Toast Forever and Espresso Mascarpone Waffle. They were delicious and beautifully presented. My daughter and I came around 7:30 am on a Sunday morning.
