Turkish tastes
Frances C.

Great favorable strong Turkish coffee that shakes you up. It's good to have a jolt when we stumbled into it early in the morning. Coffee lovers come and go for their morning refresher to last a day or few hours. Interest aroma and strong coffee wakes up my senses and palates. Pastry is good as well.

turkish latte
Sofia A.

Kean coffee is so cute!!!! Met here with some cohort mates to get work done, and everyone was so incredibly friendly. I'm really impressed with the staff. The Turkish latte was also really good! One con: I didn't see any outlets, but I also didn't check the whole store.

Affogatos
Isabelle C.

We stopped by Kean Coffee in Tustin and had a great experience--the staff was friendly and service was quick, and the affogato was excellent with smooth, rich espresso over creamy ice cream that wasn't too sweet; simple, high-quality, and I'll definitely be back.

White chocolate mocha and white chocolate mocha with raspberry infusion
Angeli P.

Amazing as always! White chocolate mocha with oat milk and a white chocolate mocha with raspberry infused- tastes like a delicious warm treat! Service was quick, helpful and ambiance as quiet and calm. I never regret a stop for coffee here.

Almond Croissant
Kwan K.

Saturday Morning, the place was packed and most tables were filled. It gave me Starbucks vibes from about 15-20 years ago. Ordered the almond croissant and grasshopper. Grass hopper was a mint and vanilla combo. This ended up being an odd combination where the mint and vanilla were slight but muted. Overall it was interesting, but it wasn't something I would ordered again. The almond croissant was a run of the mill almond croissant, for 5 bucks you can probably find other options. Overall vibe, possibly visit again when I'm in the area for a regular cup of coffee.

If you are in the mood for a strong coffee, this shop is wonderful. I come here when I really need a caffeine boost.

I tried to buy this coffee there, they do not sell it to the public and did not know what beans were used.

Good coffee roaster and coffee shop. Knowledgeable person ti talk to me about their coffees. The one big problem is that I came in there trying to find a KEAN COFFEE that is served by BAGELS & BREW in Lake Forest (21771 Lake Forest Dr, Ste 100, Lake Forest, CA 92630), but there were these issues: 1. KEAN COFFEE roasts this WHOLESALE ONLY for Bagels & Brew. It is not available for sale to the public. Flavored coffees are not sold to the public at the location. 2. The knowledgeable person did not even know what beans were used in the wholesale coffee. It was not even possible to identify what beans or ground to buy, even if the flavored version was not available. 3. I like SMOOTH and MELLOW light roasted coffees. They are hard to find in the STARBUCKS type era of Burned-to-a-crisp, dark, French Roasts (which I hate). Had to just simply try buying light roast coffees, but I still have not found this yet. Gave up and started buying COFFEE BEAN & TEA LEAF - L.A. Brew LOS FELIZ. It was closer than the Columbia Gesha I bought at Kean. Not a lot of light roasts available for purchase, and they are still very pricey at over $20/pound. None are really smooth and mellow.

The coffee was flavorful and you get what you are expecting. Some coffee places describe a coffee and you don't taste their flavors which is disappointing. Mocha was undoubtedly mocha! My friend ordered a breakfast treat that said was delicious. It was a bit crowded even for a weekday but it's close to downtown so wasn't surprised. Service was quick.

Delicious options of sweet and savory.
Sue B.

This is one of our favorite coffee stops in Tustin and Irvine area. A convenient parking lot, clean restrooms, and plenty of seating are available at this location. The staff is very nice. They have a large drink menu and a great variety of baked goods. We ordered a drip coffee and a mocha on this visit. Sometimes the drips are better than others. Today's drip was my not our favorite, but it wasn't bad. The mocha was delicious.

Desiree P.

Can we just stop and appreciate when you are at a loss of what to order and the staff can make a quality suggestion. I couldn't just order a latte or coffee, that's too basic for here. But I also couldn't decide and the barista after asking a few questions suggested their Turkish Latte with cardamom. First time for everything. It was DEVINE! The flavor of the coffee, oatmilk, and cardamom was earthy and the perfect temp. I was sad I had gone with a small.

Binita R.

The food and coffee were really good, and the chocolate mousse cake was delicious. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming. The only thing I didn't love was the interior--it feels quite old-fashioned, with furniture that looks 30 years old. I understand it's part of their theme, but as an interior designer, it didn't really work for me and made the seating feel a bit uncomfortable. If they refreshed the interior while keeping the same theme, it could make a big difference. Overall, great coffee and desserts--definitely worth a visit if you're a coffee lover.

Since there are quite a few espresso selections sold as beans, I was wondering if you can choose which roast gets used for your drink? Or is there just one that gets used for the drinks, and the rest are sold beans-only?

For our espresso drinks, we exclusively use our Golden Mean Espresso Blend, but for our brewed coffees we rotate among most of the single origin coffees we have currently roasting, as we really specialize in single origins. If you want to choose a… Read more

Are you open for indoor seating?

Not yet. We still offer outdoor seating only.

Do you sell gift cards?

Yes! Both in our coffeehouses and on our website at keancoffee.com :)

Can you add an extra shot of expresso to the grasshopper?

I pretty sure u can because the barista are great at spicing your coffee up!

Are there ample outlets for charging laptops an such?

There is no WiFi service, so there are no extra outlets for laptop users. This coffee shop encourages non electronic communications amongst its patrons.

Are any of the gluten free baked goods also dairy free as well?

Our gluten free Chocolate Banana Bread is also vegan, so no dairy :)

Do they have nitro cold brew?

Yes- on tap :)

Would the caffe mocha or Mayan mocha be vegan if ordered with non dairy milk, or is there something in the mix/syrup that prevents it from being vegan?

Our house made mocha sauce does not contain any dairy, so our Caffe Mocha with non dairy milk would be vegan, yes. The chocolate that we use for our Mayan Mocha may, however, contain dairy, so our Mayan Mocha may not be vegan. We will double check… Read more

Any gluten free pastries?

Yes! While we do not certify our gluten free baked goods due to the fact that we cannot guarantee that none has ever touched a pastry with gluten (so for those with severe gluten allergies, might be good to be aware of that) we do have several… Read more

Do they have baby chairs?

Hi Flora - no we're sorry but we no longer provide baby chairs. It's really better if our guests bring their own, that way they know they have a baby chair that works well for their own child. You are welcome to bring yours in!

Smiling, she said, "Let's celebrate with Spanish tapas." So the beautiful day began with milk tea and chocolate before we headed to the newly opened restaurant Fat of the Land for their Mother's Day brunch, conveniently located on North Main Street in Santa Ana. I later found out it was a special Sunday brunch created just for Mother's Day. Thanks to my daughter's reservation, we were seated right away. The menu selection was smaller than usual, probably because of the special brunch menu, but every tapas dish sounded delicious. We ordered the Castelvetrano olives, Galician smoked paprika octopus, French steak tartare, and Basque cheesecake, paired with a Fiero Spritz and Red Sangria. Both the octopus and steak tartare were outstanding. The Galician smoked paprika octopus was tender, flavorful, and carried just the right hint of spice. The French steak tartare was served on crispy toasted bread with cheese sprinkled on top -- a creative and delicious twist on a classic dish. Fat of the Land truly feels like a hidden gem, and I had such a wonderful time celebrating Mother's Day with my daughter there.

The sangria was super delicious, not overly sweet, which we liked. We ordered the arepo plate which was devoured instantly. - good appetizer to start. Next up was the octopus, pork peppers, shrimp and cheesecake. The shrimp tasted fishy and not my favorite. Octopus was good... decent. Mushrooms were fine. Cheesecake was passable. Over the sangria, arepo plate and pork peppers were the best thing of the night. Staff was very friendly, the setting was intimate. Overall good dinner.

They're located in a high foot traffic plaza. Parking will be difficult to find. Ambiance/Environment: We visited on a Saturday evening around 19:30, and it was extremely busy. Luckily we were seated within 15 min. I love the vibes here. It's a bit loud, but you can still have a conversation. They have a large indoor area and a nice bar. Everything is kept clean. Service: Thank you Mia for taking care of us! She's very attentive, and throughput was surprisingly quick & efficient despite how busy it was. She also checked on us multiple times and refilled our waters. Food & drinks: We absolutely enjoyed everything! Safe to say the hype is real. 1) Curry Crab Omelette - This is my favorite dish. This was presented on a small skillet with rice in a separate bowl. The omelette was drenched in curry. The curry was seasoned well, semi thick consistency, with a hint of spice. 2) Vietnamese Shaken Beef (one w/ garlic noodles & one w/ rice) - I personally prefer the shaken beef at Vox. For whatever reason, the beef seemed to be overcooked bc it was very chewy. The vegetables tasted as expected, and the red rice was really delicious. The garlic noodles were good. 3) Lemongrass Tofu - The tofu was cooked well and seasoned deliciously. 4) 5-Spice Roasted Chicken - Exactly what the description says. The roasted chicken was huge. We weren't sure exactly what it was seasoned with, but we all devoured it. Yum! 5) Lychee Milk Punch - It's not dinner without alcohol. I thought it was pretty strong with the rum & whiskey. It's more on the sweeter end from the lychee & pineapple. The foam wasn't too thick, and it paired well with the drink. Pricing: These are elevated prices. We'll definitely be back for dinner, and we can't wait to try their brunch. Highly recommend joining the Kei Rewards!

The pictures and reviews of the French omelette with caviar and sourdough pancakes sold us! When we arrived, the parking situation was seamless and easy to find a spot. The place isn't big but the aesthetic is clean and simple. You go up to the register to get seated. There was a wait list since this is a cozy spot but they had chairs available outside of the entrance. The time waiting was little longer than promised but not too bad. Once we were called to our table, we had iced water cups on the table with the menus and table settings. We already knew what we wanted - a horchata iced latte and a steak breakfast burrito for me and a black strap molasses iced latte and crispy chicken sando for my bestie. We also got sourdough pancakes and the cinnamon roll to share. The coffee came first then food was pretty quickly after and presentation was beautiful. The breakfast burrito was so delicious. The scrambled eggs in the burrito were cooked perfectly and they had a perfect amount of steak pieces. They brought a strawberry haberno hot sauce for the table and it made it even tastier. I preferred that sauce over the side of green sauce. I then tried a bite of the chicken sando and wow the flavor you get in the bite was also so, so good. We also enjoyed the sourdough pancakes with the crispy edges and the cinnamon roll had the perfect amount of cinnamon! This cinnamon roll had pistachio pieces on top and it wasn't too overwhelming. As for the iced lattes, I preferred my bestie's latte more than the horchata one. The horchata one had a burnt aftertaste. Other than that, food and service was TOP NOTCH! We were greeted and treated with the best hospitality from Alex. Thank you so much!

Today, we got frisco burger with fries along with horchata and carne asada nacho fries upgrade. Their menu consist of breakfast, burgers, sandwiches, dinner, Mexican, salads, sides, kids, and beverages. Frisco burger has a beef patty with bacon, lettuce, tomato, American cheese, and 1000 Island dressing, served on grilled Parmesan cheese bread. The burger was decent, it didn't quite blow me away. The ingredients were fresh, and the combination was enjoyable, but I felt it was missing a little something to make it truly memorable. If you're looking for a solid burger experience, it's worth a try, but it may not be my first choice for next time. the burger was decent, it didn't quite blow me away. I would rate the Frisco burger a solid 3 out of 5. It was decent, but I expected a bit more to make it truly stand out. My boyfriend would rate it a 4/5 since it was okay for him. French fries were crispy and well-cooked, with a nice golden-brown color. They had a satisfying crunch on the outside, while remaining fluffy on the inside. I would have appreciated some dipping sauces or seasoning options on the side to enhance them a bit more. I would give the French fries a 3/5. They were decent but didn't quite wow me. Horchata was refreshing and creamy, with a lovely balance of sweetness and cinnamon spice. The texture was smooth, providing a comforting drink that complemented my meal well. I would rate the horchata a 4/5 since I have to mix mine to get the horchata flavor. Carne asada nacho fries were crispy and golden, providing the perfect foundation for all the amazing toppings. Generously layered with tender, seasoned carne asada, each bite was a wonderful blend of savory beef and crunchy fries. The melted cheese added a rich creaminess that brought everything together, while the pico de gallo contributed a refreshing burst of flavor. I love the chop chilies personally. The finishing touches of guacamole and sour cream added just the right amount of creaminess and zest. This is absolutely my favorite meal. My boyfriend and I would rate the carne asada nacho fries a perfect 5/5--an outstanding fusion of flavors and textures. The service was fast & employee is very nice and friendly. The store has a great atmosphere, spacious, and clean. There is plenty of parking. I'm only giving it a 4 because of the burger. I would definitely come back here to try their other food alternatives.
