    Delicious black sesame latte! I recommend no alterations, though Oatmilk is a must! Servers explain what decreasing sweetness is just less of the umami black sesame. Great suggestion! I'll listen next time :) great place to work, meet and greet, or have a quick coffee with friends. The movie this week was fantasia!

    Geisha pour over

    Hidden back in the office buildings is a gem! Don't go by too fast, you might miss it! There is ample parking and simple signage. I love the vibe & the laid back atmosphere. The barista's are SO friendly and have great recommendations. The Geisha pour over was recommended and it did not disappoint. Perfect temperature and you can taste the time that goes into this art! Smooth flavor, no burnt taste, and no need for any condiments! My friend got the almond croissant...I politely declined to try it as it looked so good that I would've wolfed it down. Already making excuses to go back!

    Best coffee ever--seriously, get the sesame latte! It's unique and so good, definitely the highlight. I will say, don't expect the friendliest service. It's more of a grab-your-coffee-and-go or sit-and-study type of place rather than a super welcoming vibe. That said, it's a great spot if you're looking to buy quality coffee beans or just need a chill place to study. I rated it 3/5 due to terrible customer service. An Asian girl helped us with colored hair and she gave us attitude when ordering and didn't greet us. I really wanted to give 5 star due to the coffee but service is poor.

    I'm loving the vibe of this place. Totally reminds me of Bay Area and The Lab Anti/Mall Vibes. The decor is modern, smart, elegant, and sophisticated. A lot of college students seem to flock to this place. Their drinks are unique, high quality, interesting, and sophisticated as well. Cookiewise, it's more on the soft and chewy side. Personally, I like crisper cookie. The only down side is it's so popular that it may be hard to find yourself a seat.

    Banana oat matcha and latte
    Karen L.

    I got the Banana Oat Matcha and my friend got the Latte. Tried to be adventurous since I usually get the Honey Jasmine Matcha Latte. I usually never get the banana matcha latte but this one was pretty good! Overall really like the vibe of this place, it feels super cozy. There is definitely a lot of seating in this area for catching up or studying. However, there was also a lot of people and can possibly get crowded.

    There must be something in the coffee... Inside a business complex is a coffee shop with a sleek, modern feel inside. The line was going out the door on a Saturday Morning, and the inside was bustling. I believe this is one of the few new roasters in the area, so the traffic was expected. The Black Sesame latte was delicious. At first there wasn't much flavor, but duh, you gotta mix it up a bit...and after that the flavor came through in spades. Real roasted black sesame flooded my taste buds. Service is great, fast, and efficient. No complaints here!

    This time my coworker and I ventured over to Roosevelt! Irvine is a weird place with its coffee shops sometime tucked into business parks, so if you feel like your in the wrong parking lot, your probably in the right one, just gotta let the gps do its thing or maybe drive around for a minute lol. Walking in Roosevelt is pretty chill inside, plenty of tables and seating great for studying or getting light quiet work done, as it seemed that's what most people there were up to. Be careful of the back booths! You must have your full party of 2 or more in store within 10 minutes of seating... or else! (Jk to the or else ofc) The staff were friendly and the drinks came out quick so that's always a good time! This time out tried the black sesame iced latte. I love it when a latte comes out and visually peaks my interest and this one did with the streaks of sesame (it looked cooler when first served as opposed to as pictured, trust me). The sesame flavor was subtle but yummy, the coffee was good, and the sweet and coffee balance was nice. 5/5 black sesames, would come again! Thanks!

    Banana Oat lattes
    Alexis K.

    This is simply an all-around amazing coffee shop. Beautiful look, free parking, ample seating to work/study, and finally a great drink variety. The Banana Oat Matcha Latte I got wasn't just a matcha with banana syrup. It was a true-matcha flavor paired with the comforting aroma of a spiced banana muffin.

    This place is super cozy and nestled in an area that doesnt have another sit down coffee shop. The inside has a mix of booth seating and comfy sofas, which makes it a nice place to actually study or hangout. They also have some board games available too! There's no outdoor seating, so it's not really pet-friendly if you're hoping to bring your dog along. But if you live in the apartments or houses nearby, it's a really quick walk over I tried the black sesame latte (iced). I would recommend it! It wasnt too sweet and had black sesame chunks at the bottom for a sweet crunch

    This is a very nice coffee shop with a friendly staff and some very good espresso drinks made with Sightglass beans. This was a pleasant surprise because Sightglass is one of my favorite roasters :) I had a nice Cortado, rich flavor with a creamy texture, and my Son had their Iced Banana Oat Latte which he said was very flavorful. Both drinks were excellent! The shop is neat and clean featuring an open design with plenty of seating and lots of windows. Its especially nice if you like natural light :) It was fairly crowded considering it was the only open business. The crowd was an equal mix of students studying and people visiting with friends. Roosevelt is located in a office park so there was plenty of clean free parking at least on the weekend LOL

    So cool!!! A great spot for an afternoon coffee-with-your-gal-pal or just to get some solo studying in. They have cool drink offerings, including banana oat matcha (pictured) and guava kombucha on tap! The service is wonderful, the staff are all so kind. The bathrooms are clean and the parking is easy breezy! Looking forward to coming back!

    Visited in the early afternoon on Saturday and there were plenty of folks dining in and outside. There was only one person ahead of me in line, and the barista greeted me kindly when it was my turn to order. The espresso is very smooth and paired really well with the black sesame and yuzu. If you're feeling something creamy and nutty, I'd def get the black sesame! But if you want something refreshing, go for the yuzu tonic! It's not overly sweet and the balance of the two flavors work well together.

    Big booths- note the signs, you need parties of 2+ to sit here

    ⁃ Menu: Classic coffee shop with some good flavors ⁃ Drink adjustability: sugar/milk adjustment options ⁃ Seating: lots of small tables, 3 large booths ⁃ Crowd: Never terribly crowded ⁃ Parking: Plenty! (corporate park) ⁃ Features: Water refilling spigot, 2 restrooms, free WiFi Nestled in a quiet corporate park next to a yoga studio, Roosevelt has become my new favorite go-to for a good old work session. There are lots of tables- 1 tall table w/8 seats, 3 big booths (you have to seat a party of 2+ at them, though), and ~8 small tables/4 couches/3 individual booth tables. Good amount of outlets scattered throughout these options. There are huge windows with natural light, gentle music, and wonderful vibes. Only issue, they close in the early afternoon, so come in the morning. I've ordered their banana oat matcha 3x now- phenomenal, natural banana flavor that's strong but not sweet, and I'm able to bump down the sugar by half. It's the best flavored matcha I've had in OC, hands down. Absolutely love this place.

    The place is clean and the staff are friendly. However, it is located inside of commercial town, so it is not easy to find.

There were about 3 people ahead of me in line and a few waiting for drinks, but I was able to order and get my drink in around 10 minutes. Staff was very friendly and checked in with us while waiting in line! I ordered the Matcha Two, which comes as a matcha latte topped with salted matcha vanilla cream foam. The foam was velvety and creamy. The matcha had a smooth, earthy flavor with subtle sweetness. Oatmilk was the default choice, and while I usually think oatmilk can overpower matcha, it worked well in this drink. It is a little pricey for 1 drink, but that also seems to be the norm these days for specialty drinks. This is more of a grab-and-go spot than a place to hang out. There's no seating, just a bench inside, and everyone waited outside since the interior is on the smaller side. Parking was easy when I went. Overall, a pleasant experience for a yummy matcha drink, and I'd definitely come back to try more of their matcha menu!

They also sell Korean salt bread in limited quantity, so come early before it sells out. *** Signature Korean Salt Bread (Limited Daily - $4.50): A bit cold but tasted good.

Came here with some friends for Afternoon Tea on a Saturday. We made a reservation for 12:30pm. Check-in was easy and quick. Since it was raining, we were seated indoors. Our server came to explain the menu and tea choices. Unfortunately, they were out of some teas, but they have a seasonal tea menu to make up for it. There were four of us and we all got the Afternoon Tea set. The teas we chose were the Coconut Milk Green Tea, Blueberry Pie Green Tea, Earl Grey Lavender, and Cherry Rose Rooibos. The teas came out first followed by the food items. We were told to let the teas steep for 4 minutes before pouring them. They were all great, but the favorite for us was the Coconut Milk Green Tea. It was creamy, smooth, and milky with a nice coconut flavor. The Blueberry Pie Green Tea tasted like a blueberry pie. We did not feel that the blueberry flavor was artificial. The Earl Grey Lavender was more Earl Grey than lavender. There might have been a subtle lavender flavor. The Cherry Rose Rooibos was surprisingly flavorful. We were able to taste both the cherry and rose. The food items were all solid. Our favorite sandwiches are the Chicken Salad and Cucumber ones. The breads for all the sandwiches were soft and fluffy, but they held up well. The scones were crunchy but not dry, and the jam was delicious. The fruit tart was mediocre. The pastry was soggy, affecting the texture of the tart. The macaron was not as chewy as others I have had in thr past, but was not too sweet. I did not try the donut so cannot comment on it. Overall, giving Morning Lavender Cafe a 4.5/5. Service is great and staff are quick and attentive. The teas were all good and most of the food is solid with exception of a couple of bites. It is a cute spot for hanging out or having an event such as a bridal shower or birthday. Would recommend to others and would return for Afternoon Tea or other items.
