Blue Bowl in Irvine continues to be my go-to spot whenever my lunch crew comes to UTC…read more My usual is the blue coconut base layered with extra chia pudding and granola. For toppings, the fresh bananas, blueberries, and strawberries pair well with almond butter, crushed almonds, and a light dusting of cinnamon on top. It by far remains my favorite bowl place for quality ingredients and consistently friendly service. Although sugary, I still feel relatively healthy eating here. Pro Tip: Order ahead online to bypass the line and grab your bowl quickly (the line can get long).

Everything there looks beautiful and I want to come back to try their next seasonal summer smoothies.

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.

I thought to myself that it's fine, I'll opt for the plant-based protein smoothie options, so I asked for the açaí smoothie. However, I'm aware that plant-based protein supplements have lesser grams of protein per scoop than conventional whey supplements, so I asked how many grams of protein come per scoop. I was told that each scoop contains 0.5g of protein. I was like, maybe they don't understand my question, so I asked once again how many grams of protein does the "protein smoothie" come with and they continue with 0.5 grams. I'm confused because that wouldn't make it a PROTEIN smoothie. How can 1 scoop contain just half a gram of protein!? I kindly thanked them and walked out. I had to go to another smoothie place.

I've heard great things about their chicken Caesar wrap which I was hesitant to try because I thought it would be all healthy, no taste. I was wrong!!! This place has me tied with Nudae's chicken Caesar wrap. It was so flavorful and filling. It took less than a minute for my order to be ready which was great since I parked in 30 minute parking in the front. I can't wait to go back and to add Jan's into my rotation.

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!

It was very fast to pick it up and leave, only requiring me to dictate the name on the order. Finding somewhere to sit in the Spectrum was inconvenient in the area next to the Ferris wheel, so I just ate in an out of the way location. It was pretty easy to devour. Utensils were provided so I didn't have to sneak into another food joint to grab more or buy them from Target.

This was my first time browsing through the shopping center, and thankfully this place was open early. One worker came out and told me that it was a self serve platform with the do it yourself ordering kiosk and after browsing the menu I came across what I ultimately came for which was an açaí smoothie. The inside of the store was spotless very clean well maintained, and I forgot to mention this in the beginning, but there is plenty of free parking after a few minutes. My smoothie was ready and it was absolutely amazing refreshing and full of all the good stuff to keep me, satisfied and motivated to complete my workday. I guess it's normal now for smoothies to cost anywhere between $10-$15. I remember growing up smoothies were half that price but hey, it is what it is.
