Honestly, I've given this place multiple chances because it's on my way to work and I really wanted to support a women-owned business, but I leave disappointed every time. The drinks are extremely inconsistent. The lattes are either overly bitter and mostly milk, or they have a strong artificial syrup taste that's hard to enjoy. The pastries are hit or miss, the cookies are grainy and lack flavor, though I will say the croissants are good and generously sized. The online ordering system is also frustrating. Every time I place an order ahead, I still end up waiting 15+ minutes when I arrive, which defeats the purpose. On one visit, I was charged for a cookie that was out of stock, and the employee told me she couldn't issue a refund because she didn't know how. That shouldn't fall on the customer. I really wanted to like this place, but overall the quality and service just haven't been there. wanted to say I paid $14 for a cookie and latte to not drink my latte AT ALL and throw 3/4's of the cookie away. That is not ok. read more

I would say this place is just okay. It's a cute bakery and coffee shop right next to my house with a few parking spots right in the front. There are a couple spots to sit and study but I don't know if I would still be there personally because the seats are right on the parking lot area. The reason for three stars is because it's very overpriced for what you get. I got the Luck of the Irish matcha and it was very underwhelming. Almost $10 including a tip of a dollar and some change. I saw them make it, they filled it with ice, milk and syrup and left one inch to pour the matcha mixture in. You're basically paying just for milk and syrup. No cold foam, no extra special anything. Due to the price, I will not be returning to try other drinks to see if those drinks are better. Coffee or matcha shouldn't cost more than $6. They also trick you because there's no prices listed anywhere. I noticed that many coffee shops these days are not displaying the price which is definitely scammy behavior. Sure I could have asked but one doesn't assume that coffee is going to be almost $10 because that's a complete rip off. read more

This is my favorite coffee find of 2025. I love it that they go all out and decorate for all the holidays and I had to visit to see their Christmas decorations. They did not disappoint. In addition, the last week of the year, they bring back all the favorite drinks and pastries for one week only. How fun is that year in rewind! I also tried the ham and cheese croissant and it is massive. Definitely enough for two meals. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

If you're a lover of holiday themed treats, it's a must to come here during Halloween time. It's a small unassuming coffee shop with a few bar seats inside. For spooky season they fill the space with decorations and delicious themed treats. Their display of cookies is impressive and they make them big. We had to grab a Double Chocolate Oreo ($4.95) and a Spider Cookie ($4.99). The double chocolate oreo is exactly what you would expect and perfect for an Oreo lover. The spider cookie is a peanut butter cookie with a Reese's spider on top and it was a good also. I had to get a Pumpkin Delight ($4.99) pastry and it was not only cute but tasted good. It has a pumpkin cream cheese filling and I think I also tasted apple pieces. The pastry shell itself was buttery and flaky. I would get this again. It was hard to choose which seasonal drink to try but I went with the Frankenmatcha ($7/16oz.). It's a toffee and vanilla flavored matcha with ube cold foam. The drink is cute and the server was nice enough to replace the eyes in it when they sank. Unfortunately the matcha flavor was lost in all the sweetness. Everything is freshly made here and whether you want pastries or sandwiches, you're bound to find something you like. Make sure to give this spot a try especially during Halloween. read more

I think the only thing that I don't like about Rekindle is that it isn't closer to my work. But it's my go-to when I have a little extra time in the mornings. There are a few parking spots right in front of Rekindle and a few more spots in the back of those are full. As I walked up this morning, there was a lady out front in a Zoom meeting and another group of ladies gathering for coffee and company. I absolutely love both of those. So there is outdoor seating as well as a few seats inside. Rekindle is NEVER lacking in the pastry, goodie, and cookie department. They offer a wide assortment of bagels. I've had the cheese, cheese and bacon, churro, and bruschetta...all toasted with cream cheese and cut in half because they are the perfect sharing size...or enough for the next day. And I can't seem to escape there without a GIANT cookie in hand. My go-to is the PB cup cookie but today I was feeling more festive and opted for the caramel pecan. I was not disappointed at all. I also saw one with Craisins so I may have to take a trip back for tasting purposes of course. Their holiday menu is out and I'm not gonna lie, I wanted to try everything on the menu. However I opted to mash a few together and ordered a iced gingerbread latte with oat milk and toasted marshmallow cold foam. The perfect seasonal drink that wasn't overly sweet but full of flavor. read more

This is my first visit here as it was highly recommended by a friend of mine. This place seems poppin! There's a very long line for the coffee and pastry lovers. I heard that they make and bake their own scones. I ordered: 1) Macadamia Nut Latte with 1/2 syrup - a bit too sweet for me even if its 50% sweetness 2) Lavender Latte with 1/2 syrup 3) Ham and Cheese Croissant sandwich -i like it. The croissant is soft, flaky, and sweet. 4) Avocado Toast with spinach read more

It's the best pumpkin latte I've ever had... that should be enough to take a visit. We stopped in after seeing a friend post all the Halloween treats. The inside is very small, but absolutely filled with treats, pastries, everything. They have breakfast and lunch items as well. Full coffee and tea menu. My only complaint was that it took 25min from ordering to receive the 4 pastries and two breakfast sandwiches we ordered. read more

Such a cute and cozy coffee shop Rekindle has unique speciality coffees, impressive pastries, and a relaxing atmosphere. Perfect spot to catch up with friends or enjoy a quiet moment at their outdoor seating. Lots of parking in the parking lot. We tried the Happy Camper Latte, French Kiss, and the Happy Camper Matcha and the drinks were on the sweeter side but still delish. The cookies were so BIG! We shared the Oreo and the Red Velvet read more

We came in here on a Saturday morning/early afternoon, right before their rush. We had a meeting here as it was recommended as a good place to talk at. The outside area would have been perfect, however the Santa Ana winds had other plans. We sat at the bar and granted, it was a little tight but it wasn't too much of a bother. We ordered a Bananas for You specialty drink and a Banana Cream Pie blended coffee. As someone who prefers it a little sweeter, the bananas for you was amazing! I have never finished my coffee so fast! My boyfriend, who does not drink coffee at all, loved the blended coffee and enjoy how the taste went well with each other. We are looking forward to coming back because their food items looked huge and delicious read more

I ALWAYS pass by this place driving up the street and I've always wanted to try it, then today my mom said "let's try the coffee place next to our sushi spot!!" We came out and gave it a shot, the store is lovely, clean and the ambience is beautiful. The girl who took her order (I'm sorry I don't catch her name) was super sweet and friendly. We got our drinks and they were super good and we also met Rebecca, who by the way is a very lovely lady. We got to chit chat for a bit and then we were on our way. Definitely coming back! The tiramisu latte was soooo good! read more

Rekindle Coffee - Tiramisu Latte Black drip coffee - Cafes Near Me - Orange, California

First I'd like to say how punctual they are in opening doors right at the time they have their time advertised. I like how this coffee- bakery spot is nearby home and it's open at the time where I can grab something quick. It's so clean inside and outside. You can smell the bread and bagels of the dough coming through when you open he door. It's nostalgic. I also enjoy the variety of drinks and food items they offer. We all love having options. Today I had orders a large Blended Banana Cream Pie. It's really large. I enjoy the flavors as it does come close resembling the taste of banana cream pies topped with these yummy crumbles. Next time I'll remember to order a small. But it's nice that the large you can definitely share with another person, or if you're not that easy, keep the entire thing to yourself. For food items, I had only ordered from their Breakfast menu, although they offer lunch items as well. Not sure if there's an exact time to begin ordering lunch during breakfast hours. The breakfast items I had ordered were an avocado toast and I asked if I can order that without the side salad, and also ordered the Husky Buster on a regular jalapeño bread and with bacon. No egg whites as it's pre-stirred with yoke but that's fine. Just was asking if they offered that option read more

This was my first visit to Rekindle, and I came to buy bagels. Unfortunately, I have to disagree with those who think that rekindle's bagels are the best, they are NOT bagels, they are bagel-shaped rolls. Bagels must be boiled before they are baked in, which gives them that incredible crust, and that delicious chew These have not been boiled. So while they were tasty enough as bread, they didn't satisfy the need for a bagel! (As far as I'm concerned, nothing comes close to East Coast Bagels in Irvine; it's clear that I will have to drive there for all my future bagel runs.) With that said, the gentleman who waited on me was a lovely person to deal with, kind and helpful. The shop is cute, and the pastries look delicious. So if I do come back, it will be for a pastry and not for a bagel. L read more

Rekindle Coffee - Sesame, everything, onion - Cafes Near Me - Orange, California

Bottom Line Up Front: I like this place and definitely plan to return. Now that I have that out of the way, I'm gonna discuss why it's not a perfect place -- it'll seem like I dislike Rekindle Coffee. Just remember, I'm a repeat customer and plan to keep it that way. The Setting: It's not a particularly large shop, with a narrow interior and limited outdoor seating. Inside, there's a long counter with stools, maybe 8 total, with a small counter around the corner (room for maybe 2 more people). Outside there's about 3 to 4 tables. This is not the place for large groups. That's balanced by the whimsical decor and solid music. When I came on a recent Saturday morning, they were playing Depeche Mode (Gen Xers will appreciate it!). The Parking: There's a limited parking in front but it shares a larger lot with the nearby strip mall. The Drinks: For a place with "coffee" in the name, I'm actually disappointed at the java. I got the cookie butter cold foam cold brew and found the coffee itself to be too sour and acidic. After stirring the cold foam thoroughly, it made the drink more palatable (though that isn't the point of cold foam). My wife got the snickers latte and we both agreed it was way too sweet and didn't taste like a Snickers at all. In fact, it wasn't worth the empty calories so we asked if we could "trade it in" for a different drink. Fortunately, the staff there was so kind and let us have a tropical tea as a replacement; and the new drink was delicious! The Entrees: This is where it's at! I ordered the bacon avocado croissant and it was yummy! Sure, it was a little overpriced at about $15, but it was quite satisfying and came with a bag of chips. My wife ordered the keto wrap (essentially a lettuce-wrapped sandwich) that she was able to customize with her choice of protein and veggies. Not only was it tasty but it was also huge -- think Chipotle-sized burrito, but keto friendly. It also came with a bag of chips. The Dessert: I ordered the blueberry cream cheese twist, which was $5 but a decent size. It was a little too soft for my liking, but certainly satisfied my taste buds. In fact, my only regret was not having more room -- Rekindle offers a huge variety of sweets, from muffins and scones to brownies and monster-sizes cookies. The Customer Service: The staff here sealed the deal. I was ready to write them off because the coffee has never been up to par, but the folks here were so kind, understanding, and knowledgeable. They really made me feel welcomed, and that makes all the difference sometimes. The Conclusion: It's rather ironic that I don't like the coffee at this coffee shop but love the food. If you enjoy sugary drinks (think Dutch Bros or boba), you'll enjoy their coffee. But if prefer strong coffee with traditional tastes (think Vietnamese or Italian), try the tea instead and stay for the food. My true rating is 3.5 out of 5, but I'm happily rounding up because of the awesome customer service and delicious sweet and savory food. read more

Rekindle did not rekindle my love for coffee. Service was probably the best part of this experience. The coffee drinks were not. I ordered the blended snickers drink and it did not taste good. It tasted very chemically. It could be the syrups that they used. However, once we complained, they asked what drink I wanted to replace it with. I asked for the unsweetened tropical fruit tea and that was better. So that, makes me want to come back. We ordered the keto wrap. I had it with turkey, bacon, cheddar, with chipotle sauce and all the veggies except for pickles and avocado. It was absolutely worth the $15! It was big and delicious! So refreshing. Loved loved loved it. It came with chips and it's your choice. The space was small but there's outdoor seating so it was nice to know we can bring our pups here when we come back. read more

Much more than coffee! Their breakfast/brunch/lunch menu is impressive. I tried the croissant with egg and cheese and it was huge! Coffee was good. Pastries and cakes in display case looked great.

Rekindle Coffee is such a cute little spot -- especially if you love Halloween vibes! The bagel sandwiches are so good and totally customizable. I loved that they have dry-erase boards and paper so you can easily write down your order and hand it to the cashier -- super convenient. The sandwiches are definitely a 5/5 for me. The coffee, however, can be a bit hit or miss. They tend to have a heavy hand with the creamer and not enough ice, so the drinks end up pretty warm after a few minutes. If you're into sweet coffee, you'll probably love it here. But if you prefer your coffee on the stronger side, I recommend asking for the milk on the side so you can adjust it yourself. Overall, great food, cute theme, and friendly vibes -- just be specific about your coffee order! read more

Rekindle Coffee - Graveyard Smash - Cafes Near Me - Orange, California

Can I just give 10 stars for the decor!!! Omg so cute and spooky in here and all the food and drinks are in Halloween theme!! Ahhh it warmed my spooky lil soul, the medium size drink was huge 24 ounce I believe and it had multiple flavors and cold foam added. It was a bit on the sweeter side, but not overwhelming. I tried the raspberry bar, but I wish I would've seen the other side of the pastry shelves because there was so many spooky cookies. I wish I would've tried but not to worry I will definitely be back a really cute and charming place and I can tell whoever owns it put so much effort and it's honestly beautiful to see. read more

This coffee spot slaps so hard my Mom called me to ask if I was okay after she heard I went here. I walked up to Rekindle a shade after the business closed. However, the staff here is so motivated they "re-opened" for 15 minutes merely to prepare an iced mocha and a s'more iced coffee for me and my Angel GF. The coffees came out on time, and they really slaked my thirst for deep dark caffeine fiend beans. Everyone on staff conducted themselves with utmost professionalism, and a manager explained that they make most all of the scones, coffee cakes, crumbles, and pies on site. The staff member at the cash register near the baked goods gifted my GF a free blueberry crumble to try. My GF is a study in gorgeous Latin looks & charms, so this happens a lot. Sometimes I have to ask people who want to donate luxury items or high end cuisine to her cause to form a line when we go out in public. The blueberry crumble was a study on sugar frosted flake fruity goodness. 5 stars for bending space time for the sake of me and the bonfire GF getting a cup of Joe. read more

Came there for their Frankenstein Matcha because my friend Caitlin recommended it, but ended up getting the Candy Corn Chai and it was pretty good-- not too bitter or sweet. My friends ended up getting the other (Halloween) seasonal drinks though and these are their reviews: Ysa - Graveyard Digger: "I'd rate it a 6/10. The flavor of the chai was really good, but it was too sweet." Mia - Witches Brew: "Too sweet, too much syrup-- but not that bad." Julia - Franken-Matcha: "I think it has potential, but was too chocolatey for me. I would have liked a lot more matcha flavor. 5/10." Caitlin - Franken-Matcha: "One sip and im transported to Halloween town. Eggcellent drink even more eggcellent vibes. 6/6." read more

Honestly food is good and the coffee is good the only thing about this place is that the will constantly get your orders wrong. The wait time for your food takes really long even with a short line. They charge you extra to spread cream cheese on your bagels. What is this a grocery store if I wanted to make a bagel I would have gone to the store. The staff argued with me about my order afterwards they argued with another customer about their order. This place is good but the price doesn't reflect the customer service that should come with it. read more

Super delicious love the coffee home made cheese cake omg so and everything is homemade yummy

4.5 star! Great location for this coffee shop with an expansive regular beverage list plus rotational seasonal options. Many meal options and tons of pastries on display as soon as you walk in. Easy parking right on front. I absolutely love they decorate for the holidays (currently Halloween) which adds a nice element to the small store. There is limited seating available. I wish Yelp had 1/2 star options cuz this place is truly grate overall. 2 for 2 on drinks, with pumpkin latte being my favorite. The food items on the board are all the same price. For a bagel sandwich or anything sizable and takes some preparation, prices are fair. My 1/2 star deduction is for the oatmeal. It is a decent size portion with minimal toppings. I ordered to go and requested toppings packed separately (see pic). At $12.95...so not worth it!! It was also a thicker, stickier variety. I prefer it a little more moist and fluffy. All in all, great spot! read more

If I could give .5 star I would. This place sucks. Every time I have been here they have consistently sucked. I live down the street so it's convenient and I wish it was better. Service is slow every time. I only order a regular drip with cream. Nothing fancy. They started charging you for half n half (?) okay, no big fine. I got two coffees today, just regular drip with cream. Coffee was filled to the brim with just a little bit of cream. My mom burned her hand because the lid was leaking due to not being on properly (which is a common occurrence) & we had to pour coffee out. The coffee isn't even decent. I never write reviews I get it no place is perfect. But, every experience with this place is awful. Do what you will with that info. read more

NO BATHROOM!! Have to lead with that. Cute coffee shop with a lots of different pastry and coffee options. Servers were nice. We ordered two black coffees and a bagel egg and bacon sandwich and it was about $25. The bagel was tasty, the egg was ok, nice to have cheddar, bacon bits were messy. It was real bacon but slices would have made it so much easier to eat. Needed a salsa or sauce because it tasted dry with all the bacon crumbles. Coffee was not very hot which was surprising. No music or ambience and NO BATHROOM!! read more

This place is a cute local shop that bakes their own pastries. They have fun specials and the espresso quality is pretty good.

We were really excited to try Rekindle Coffee, but unfortunately the experience fell short. We ordered 8 items total, and 3 of them were incorrect when they came out. On top of that, we waited about 40 minutes for sandwiches, which felt excessive for a coffee shop setting. The long wait combined with multiple order mistakes made the experience pretty disappointing, especially since this wasn't a small or complicated order. Hopefully this was just an off day, because the concept is great -- but accuracy and timing really matter. read more

I'm not sure if it's because they were laboring on Labor Day, but the girl at the counter did not smile once during our party of 4's ordering. Breakfast was $60 and all we had were bagels and toppings, plus lattes. They write the latte in the middle of the cup which is covered by the sleeve. I innocently ask which of the lattes was the chai and she was irritated when she showed me after pulling down the sleeve. Umm ok, didn't think to do that. Usually you would write it close to the top? Fine, we are all about supporting small businesses, but there were some pretty glaring things that stood out. Tiny cups for water, so we literally had to get up 3x to have them refilled by the only worker behind the counter. I started sipping mine like a cocktail to try and avoid a 4th refill. Never get the vegan bagel. My friend could barely bite unto it and tearing it with her fingers got avocado schmear all over her. She gave up halfway; what a waste. My egg, bacon and cheese on sourdough was pretty tasty, with not a green in sight. My other two tablenates ordered traditional bagels and cream cheese, with the everything bagel with sausage and cheese being a 7 out of 10. She dissected it and left half the bagel behind. The parking is fine and it's close to major crosstreets. It's just not a coffee shop that I will choose due to the lack of friendly workers, not easily accessible basics like water (in almost Dixie like cups), and average breakfast for not a great value. read more
