Re Ca Phe seemed like a promising coffee shop to get my caffeine fix. Unfortunately, it completely…read moremissed my expectations. It's located in a plaza with other businesses. I went around 12:30 pm and it was a packed lot. The store itself was too busy and felt cramped. The space seems suitable for smaller groups. At the time, there was a line before you could order. It took almost 10 minutes for the order to be ready. American Express is accepted here. Sea Salt Coffee: This was on the signature section so I had big expectations for it. It was a very small drink (9 oz). It was slightly salted, tasted bitter, and wasn't sweet despite having condensed milk as an ingredient. It wasn't good. Canale: Despite having to wait for the drink, I needed to wait longer for this because the staff forgot to put it in the order. I needed to wait for them to prepare it in the back and also go back to the counter to charge for it. All to wait for something that was mushy. Coffee Beans: I saw there were coffee beans from Glitch in Japan. It was a brand that I loved there so I wanted to give it a try. I don't usually like fruity notes but this was really delicious. However, it's extremely pricy for how little beans there is.

I know there are so many matcha spots popping up all over Orange County, but let me tell you--SIP…read moreis genuinely one of the best cafés around. They've been consistently amazing ever since they opened, and somehow they've only gotten better over time. I honestly enjoy just about every drink on their menu, especially their seasonal specials. My all-time favorite has to be their 2026 Spring Earl Grey Matcha. I was getting it almost every week, and I was genuinely sad when they switched over to their summer menu. Thankfully, they kept the Mango Sticky Rice Matcha, because wow... what a flavor explosion. It's easily one of the best matcha drinks I've ever had, and my friend and I keep coming back just for it. I know it sounds a little adventurous, because it did to me, but when I tried it, it genuinely changed my life (kidding). If mango isn't your thing, I highly recommend either the Double Matcha or the Banana Matcha. The Double Matcha is perfect if you love a strong matcha flavor; you can really taste the quality of the matcha they use. As for the Banana Matcha, I normally don't gravitate toward banana drinks, but SIP completely changed my mind. They use what tastes like a banana pudding instead of artificial banana flavoring, and it blends so smoothly with the matcha that every sip feels balanced and indulgent. The café itself is just as charming as the drinks. The wood paneling gives the space a cozy, retro vibe that makes you want to stay a while, and the staff is always incredibly friendly, patient, and welcoming.

I saw the long line for Airoma and came here immediately…read more First of all, there's plenty of parking, which is always a plus! The space is super cute with such a fun, cozy vibe, and the staff was so kind and welcoming. I especially loved the red gingham decor it gives the whole place the cutest little picnic feel There are a few chairs where you can sit, sip, and chat, but no tables, so I wouldn't really consider this a spot to bring your laptop and work. Now the MATCHA I looooved their matcha with the Earl Grey foam top. OMG... it was phenomenal!! The matcha was earthy, umami, and so well balanced, and the hint of Earl Grey in the foam complemented it perfectly without overpowering the matcha. Such a good combination! I will 100% be coming back for this one!

Even though this place is known for brunch, a lot of the dishes do not seem like brunch items, but I I'm not complaining. Mango sticky rice matcha (3/5); wasn't anything too crazy. I thought it was going to taste different than a mango matcha, but it seemed no different for me. I was hoping something earthy from the rice. Crab toast (5/5): Flavorful and plenty of crab. Definitely a fancier and luxurious breakfast. Curry crab omelette (5/5): Wow this was amazing. This was such packed with umami I flavor with the same level of comfort. Seafood Tom Kha Pasta (5/5): This just blew me away. It tasted like authentic Tom Kha with an Italian twist. The tom kha was buttery and packed with seafood. The sauce was just sensational. Really enjoyed my experience and I hope to be back soon z

I went to Nep for their happy hour at 3pm Friday and was seated pretty quickly. It wasn't super…read morepacked at the time but there were definitely a good amount of parties there. I've been here a couple times before and the service has always been really good and fast each time. Fortunately, this time was not any different :) Everything we ordered was plated so beautifully and tasted amazing. Additionally, each dish was only $10-$12 because of happy hour! My personal favorites were the banh mi chao, chicken wings, and seafood ceviche. It's obvious they put a lot of effort in these dishes in terms of presentation and flavor. The restaurant itself is also so beautiful and is a good reflection on the amount of effort they put in creating a good experience for customers. I will go again and order the exact same dishes haha.

LB by far has done it better than everyone else. it's seasonal though, so try it before it's gone! the staff deserves more stars than offered in this review. they even greet me by name but even when there's tons of people & chaos inside, they're always calm, collected, patient & kind. i'd like to think i've tried most if not all coffee shops locally, and you're truly not going to find better than LBC!

I went at around 11 AM and it was busy. There was a wait for ordering and many seating was already taken. For future reference, there is an option to order online for pickup. American Express is accepted here. I wasn't sure what to order at the time. With a recommendation, the staff said biscoff cookie butter latte was good option for those with a sugar craving. Looking at the menu again, I saw they had a pistachio cream latte. Absolutely loved the drink; cream top wasn't too sweet and paired well with the espresso. Despite being busy, it only took a few minutes for them to make the drink. They also sold coffee beans, which I grabbed as well. Appreciated that they have different pricing for later roasted dates. I was able to grab a spot as someone was leaving. It's a decent spot to sit and get some work done. However, it could be a bit nosy. If not a working spot, definitely for picking up quality coffee drinks! Looking forward to trying out other items in the next visit.

I've tried several…read moredifferent lattes and matchas here but I have to say that my favorite drink is the classic einspanner. Apart from the delectable drinks, the customer service is top tier. We are always welcomed with a smile and were even told on one visit in particular, "enjoy our time here." Often times, coffee shops make you feel like an uninvited guest. In a world that seems to be rushing around on tight schedules, this coffee shop is a nice and refreshing departure. Bonus stars to Kevin and all the staff who are incredibly hospitable.

Pear Matcha Einspanner? Say less…read more I don't think I've ever seen pear anything on a menu at any coffee/ matcha places. I was very intrigued by it and knew I had to try it! Service was great. Parking was easy to find. It's a shared parking lot with other businesses. Dex Coffee was easy to find and lots of parking available. The Pear Matcha Einspanner was good, but I prefer Coconut Matcha.

The business has a few tables outside and a good amount of seating inside as well. I ordered a Ube Cream Coffee - Saigon Style ($5.50). Yummmm!! I love how strong but creamy and delicious this coffee is. I'm hooked! I am Vietnamese and I approve of this cup of coffee. While I was there I saw their glorious casing of pastries and I couldn't resist. I ordered and enjoyed: 2 Garlic Bread ($5.35/each), Chocolate Croissant ($6.60), Almond Croissant ($6.85), Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread ($4.75) and 2 Macarons ($3.20). Their pastries are fantastic. My boyfriend doesn't enjoy sweets as much as I do so that garlic bread was good for it. The croissants were really flakey and flavorful. I enjoyed the bread. For the macarons I was given a third one as a thanks for all the items I orders and I liked all 3. Yum! Wish I could come back to support the business, especially with their incredible coffee, but I was told that they will be closing on 7/31/26. I'm so sad I didn't discover them sooner. I wish them all the best and hope they re-open in the future.

The AC is okay, but I've noticed it can get pretty warm around the corners and edges of the cafe. There's a parking lot and bathrooms which is always a plus! They also have a kiosk to order or you can order regularly at the counter. The workers have always been really nice too!

​Food & Selection ​The Good: The food and desserts…read morethemselves taste great, and the overall ambience of the restaurant is pleasant. ​The Issue: The bakery case is rarely stocked properly. Even right at the 7:00 a.m. opening, the selection is only about 25% full, and they consistently run out of the best items by noon. ​Management & Service Decline ​There has been a noticeable shift in management over the last 6 to 9 months. It feels like leadership is focused entirely on "running lean" rather than prioritizing customer service, variety, and satisfaction. Consequently, the restaurant is rarely as full as it used to be, and overall business has visibly dropped off. Additionally, the dining area could use better attention, as the tables are not always clean. ​Drive-Thru & Morning Operations ​Attempting to visit during the morning commute has become consistently frustrating due to a rotating list of operational issues: ​Glitchy and problematic performance with the new app. ​Cones blocking the drive-thru lanes without clear reason. ​Doors failing to open on time, remaining locked past opening time of 7:00 a.m. ​Recommendation: To better serve commuting customers, management should consider moving the opening time to 6:30 a.m.--and crucially, ensure that operations actually begin on time. ​Summary Verdict ​This location used to offer great service and fully stocked cases. It has immense potential to be busy all the time, but management needs to shift its focus away from extreme cost-cutting and back toward building the business and taking care of its customers. I've spoken to several of the employees over the last few weeks and I'm hearing that they keep hearing this from their customer base. Hopefully someone in management will see this and bump things up a notch.
