I can't think of a coffee shop that feels more Irvine-coded…read more Pulling up in the private lot, I found plenty of parking behind every other white Tesla Y. In fact, it probably made finding my car it a bit easier because of it. Once entering the main shop on the right (see picture) the demographic leans more toward UCI students with laptop plugs galore, Korean mom's meeting up with pre-school children coloring in the corner, and your coaches for the local HS sports teams taking a quick break to refill their 2nd or 3rd cup of coffee. In terms of coffee, I tend to lean on the traditionalist side and like my drinks more coffee forward. This time I ordered a cortado that was just the perfect amount of espresso forward accompanied by milk that did not taste overly warmed/steamed. It may be a simple drink, but Roosevelt did it well. For those who aren't as pompous as me about my orders, I was still very impressed by the Asian and Asian-American takes on traditional drinks and pastries. Count me in as a fan. Outside the coffee, one of the tell-tale signs of a good shop is the baristas. Every time I come in I feel like the shop is run by not just some of the friendliest staff, but just the friendliest people I have encountered in the county in general. Overall, between the quality of the food, the prices, the staff, and the general warm environment it would be hard not to add Roosevelt Coffee to my coffeeshop rotation.

I would call Roosevelt Coffee a hidden gem since it's so tucked away, but it seems like everyone…read moreknows about it. Roosevelt Coffee is in a commercial area that doesn't get much foot traffic unless you're intentionally coming here. There is plenty of parking in the plaza. When I entered there was a large seating area with thoughtful outlets all around. Wifi available. Staff is friendly and quick. I ordered their Orange Creamsicle Latte ($7.75) and a prepackaged toffee Mulas Munchies Cookie ($6). Omgosh what an expensive cookie. Had I known I wouldn't have gotten it. The Orange Creamsicle Latte was good but the balance is a little off. I would like it more creamy it's called an orange creamsicle. I was able to get a seat, but it was a chair without a surface. I still overall really like the ambiance here. It has a nice busy get work done energy while still being fairly quiet.

The baristas are top of the line and are very consistent. They have a variety of fun drinks as well but their coffee is so good. You definitely don't need any sugar or syrup added. I love to get a cappuccino with their turbo shot or an iced latte with their blend. If you're feeling something fun try The Vici, which has a delicious cold foam on top and is not too sweet. They are located inside of Vici Salon, have their own space with Wi-Fi and tables with comfortable chairs where you can do work or hang out. They're baked goods are delicious and have a Swedish influence. Love their banana bread with sugar crusted crunch. They also sell lots of locally crafted goods and nice leather goods Parking is easy in the parking lot out front or in the back and the store has two entrances one directly to the coffee shop and one where you walk through the Salon.

It's in a weird location, with the front door opening to a gas station. But once you get past that, it's definitely not filling-station fare! We each loved our drinks, which were a bit different than found elsewhere. I got the banana coco and a chocolate croissant. The other half got a lavender latte and almond croissant. All was delicious and we were fighting each other for flavors. The interior is clean and there is ample seating. The staff was super friendly and thoughtful, not rushing us through our order. I have added this to my list of favorite places!

Found myself at a small table for six, with 2 other people and an outlet on the wall behind me. I decided to stay much longer than anticipated, because the vibe was good, and orderd a croissant and another drink. Patty gave me great service and recommendations. She also remembered my name, so that is always a plus. Its the kind of place where you can spend a couple hours. They have a little library with a couple games too. I ended up here 5 days in a row!

This place is pretty good. I got their Dulce VTM latte which was Vietnamese coffee infused with milk, caramel drizzle, and cinnamon. Quite a nice combo. I also got their iced spiced honey oat latte which was infused with a blend of honey, chili-infused honey, and cinnamon. Their cinnamon is light in flavor so it wasn't too overpowering to me. There's also an option to add jelly or chia seeds but for an additional cost. I do add the double sea salt foam for that extra kick so that I can enjoy this with friends while walking around the Market Place. Overall good visit. Took awhile to get my drink and one of the order was incorrect so the staff remade my drink. Overall good place to get Vietnamese coffee.

I loved the large painting on the wall depicting the rugged old west with a cow boy having a cup of coffee by the fire in the mountains. They have Different types of seating arrangements. The interior is modern with a comfortable lighting scene and wrap around floor to ceiling windows. They also have a large patio with more seating. I also noticed a fire place and a Television outside. Aside from their great coffee and Tea menu, they offer daily pastries, refreshments, small bites and coffee bean bags to go. I had the Horchata Latté with oat milk (available hot or cold). It was really good. It is made with 2 shots of their signature espresso with a house-made horchata syrup or base, steamed or iced milk, and a dusting of cinnamon. You could taste the quality of the coffee. It was really good. The coffee was a little strong. The service was great and prices are average. I really enjoyed hanging out in their shop with friends. They have several locations. I highly recommend Moon Goat Coffee Roasters.

A very cute coffee shop located in a big building in Irvine! I was here for a conference, and found…read morethis coffee shop within walking distance from the Hyatt in Irvine. Upon walking up to the doors of the building, there is a kind man opening the door for us. His job is to open the doors and ensure the right patrons go in and out of the building. After walking towards the opposite end will be the entrance of the coffee shop. The cashier is immediately on the left and there are large amounts of sofas to sit on or you can walk towards the back to sit outside in the patio. The coffee shop is facing a large street with a tree and large area of grass. It's very nice and pleasant to sit and people watch. I had ordered a breakfast burrito with their bacon and their signature latte with almond milk. Their burrito was very fresh and hot! There are tater tots inside with delicious cheese. I wasn't a fan of their bacon because it was sweet maple bacon; it clashed with the savory taste of the burrito. Their latte was great! Not super sweet and definitely kept me caffeinated. Super nice coffee shop and I highly recommend it if you are within the area!

Friendly staff who are attentive to all customers and make drinks with care. They are always so happy and you can tell they love what they do. Shoutout to the manager Bella who does an amazing job running the shop and cultivating such a positive work culture! The drinks are tasty and consistent, from black coffee to matcha lattes. Though I'm not a sweet coffee person, their popular drinks like the banana bread latte and vanilla honey brown sugar are delicious and I like how I can customize the sugar level. Overall I love the cozy yet ambitious vibe of this coffee shop and look forward to coming back soon!

I've been here a couple of times for their regular iced matcha latte, and the matcha flavor is good albeit it was half milk and half matcha. They also have cute patio seating and "indoor" open-air spots. Because the coffee shop is on the campus of Mariners Church, there is ample seating even if you're not able to grab a seat right at the coffee shop itself. It's also cute that they have a dedicated wall for folks to post a prayer on a sticky note!

It had such a great balance with the added espresso salt. I appreciate how their syrups are homemade. The staff was quick, accomodating and friendly. Their shop also showcases locally owned businesses in the area, which really shows how they support the community.

They also explained the different pastries they had, as well as their different seasonal drinks. Ambience - 10/10 There was a lot of seating including an outdoor section. I could see this being a great place to work from. There was also Jenga and Ping Pong which was really fun! Coffee/Matcha - 8/10 I got the strawberry matcha. I found that the matcha flavor was very faint and the color itself was too light. Overall the taste was good especially since I had reduced the sugar but I think the overall matcha flavor could've been stronger. My bf got the Maza Latte which was pretty yummy albeit small in size. All in all a cute space to work at. Would come again for the vibes, but the matcha latte needs more matcha!
