    exterior, business front
    Van D.

    I would call Roosevelt Coffee a hidden gem since it's so tucked away, but it seems like everyone knows 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.

    cinnamon pastry
    Timmy S.

    I've had this place bookmarked for a long time. While recently running errands, I stopped in on a weekday late morning and was supremely disappointed. This place is located in a large business plaza with tons of parking. The interior has a lot of seating but when I arrived around 10:30am every single seat was taken (around 40 people were laptopping away); it was packed! This thwarted my plans to relax and enjoy coffee and pastry before driving home. I hesitantly decided to order to take home: a hot vanilla latte plus two items from their pastry case - a blueberry muffin and an almond croissant. The latte was blistering hot and needed the 20 minute drive home to cool down enough to drink. It lacked vanilla taste and just tasted burnt; thanks but I can get that at Starbucks. The cost of this child-sized cup was as much as most places charge for a large. When I opened the bag for my pastries, I was surprised to see instead of a blueberry muffin I was given a cinnamon roll with no icing - just sprinkled with lots and lots of cinnamon sugar. How can you mistake this for a blueberry muffin? She even repeated my order and I even directly pointed to it. The roll was fresh but with each bite, cinnamon sugar sprayed all over. After two bites and showering the table with tiny bits of sugary cinnamon, it got tossed. The almond croissant was the absolute worst pastry I've ever had. It was an embarrassment. The texture and flavor was like eating sand - unbelievably dry, crumbly, and flavorless. One expects an almond croissant to have frangipane or almond paste inside. This croissant was cut lengthwise in half and had a minuscule amount of some sort of tasteless cream spread between the halves; I couldn't even see it but knew from the moistness that something was there. I can't convey how truly awful this pastry was. The only good thing I can say was that the two women working here were nice even though they made a terrible latte and don't know what a blueberry muffin is.

    I was SUPER excited to try this place, but I'm unsure if I would go back. The place is really nice, lots of seating and tables. The workers are also very friendly and attentive. I resisted the temptation of their exotic flavored drinks like orange creamsicle and key lime, and instead got an iced vanilla latte. It was just okay, the beans tasted a bit burnt and overall not the best. The drinks are on the pricey side as well, but not crazy expensive. Overall, nice place, I just may not go again.

    Black sesame matcha with oat milk
    Sydney H.

    This place is so good, but wow can it be pricey! First off, love the vibe of the space - lots of seating inside with some additional tables out front, and a nice selection of board games to play with as well. Per the barista's recommendation I tried the black sesame matcha - with oat milk, this drink costs $9.75. Pretty expensive for a matcha if you ask me, but wow was it good lol. The black sesame had a delicious nutty flavor with a great sweetness level overall! Would love to come back here as a once in a while treat.

    Love that they have kombucha on the tap from fermentation farm. Very busy place. Lots of people sit here for hours to do work and study. Ambiance is open and clean. Music is not too loud so you can focus. The service is nice. Only took off star because all flavored drinks are using syrup not puree. Otherwise, it would be 5 star

    The one on the right is the main shop, despite both having the name
    Chhai M.

    I can't think of a coffee shop that feels more Irvine-coded. 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.

    Garlic knot five dollars
    Tina L.

    Drinks aren't the cheapest but not as pricey as LA. The seasonal drinks are priced around 7 dollars. I tried the banana oat Matcha latte less sweet and really enjoyed the strong earthy taste of the Matcha. The banana flavor, though was more subtle, but I liked how it wasn't overly sweet. They do have quite a variety of pastries and even bagels with cream cheese. They had run out of the spinach, mushroom danish when I had gotten there, but I did try the garlic knot, which was five dollars and very crispy when warmed up enjoyed it with my Matcha. They have plenty of chairs and seating even a couple of tables outside I liked the availability of outlets against the wall. This is a very decent place to work or study from although I wouldn't say it's the quietest place to take a meeting if you're working from home it is even a great place to catch up with friends.

    Macha and coffee
    Louna H.

    Really enjoyed this place! I had the iced matcha, and my friend got the iced latte--both were fresh, smooth, and delicious. The café has a cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and quick service. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to!

    Matcha, Black Sesame latte, Cinnamon morning bun
    Leah Y.

    Great cafe in the Irvine area! It's located in a small business-center location. Super easy parking, spacious inside with plenty of outlets, and there is a good amount of seating inside (outside has only a few tables). I love the Black Sesame latte - have tried many before and the quality of the black sesame paste is the best I've had. Great quality espresso too but not the best I've had. Also tried the cinnamon morning bun pastry - was really good. They have a small but well rounded selection of both sweet and savory pastries/breads from their business partner Goodtown Doughnuts (great business move). Service is really good. They have long lines but move fast without sacrificing quality. I love how they have a clean area to put your dishes when you're done - it's clearly labeled next to the trash and recycling. I'll be back in the future! They seem to have other great coffee/matcha flavors so I'm excited to try more of them.

    Lorena G.

    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.

    Giovanna M.

    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
    Katie O.

    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!

    Krystal R M.

    Super cute coffee shop! This is a great spot to meet with friends or hunker down for a study/work session. There is plenty of parking and seating with some plugs available. Their coffee and match never disappoints, and the baristas are super welcoming. I'll definitely be back!

We have been on a hunt to find the best matcha in Orange County and this was officially stop 26 for us, so we take this pretty seriously at this point. My wife ordered the matcha latte with light ice and lavender syrup, and I went with the ube matcha latte as recommended by the barista. Overall the place itself was a very cool spot, honestly the kind of place you would want to post up at and get some work done. The decor and artwork were really different and cool to see, definitely gave the place its own personality. The staff were extremely sweet and welcoming too, made the whole visit that much better. As for the matcha themselves, they were actually pretty good. The matcha latte was nice and smooth with a very balanced taste, slightly bitter even with the added lavender but still easy to enjoy overall. Next time we are probably going to ask for light ice and maybe an extra pump of lavender or vanilla just to cut back on that bitterness a bit. As for the ube matcha, that one was very good too, though mine had way too much ice and was gone in like three sips unfortunately. The flavor of the ube came through nicely and was pretty balanced, though I would have liked a little more matcha flavor since the ube can easily take over. Overall, not bad matchas at all, though not the best we have had on this journey, but still worth a stop if you need something quick and good.

The foam was like a salted caramel, which clashed with the lavender's liquid portion of the drink. There were a lot of lavender petals on top, which looked nice, but were bitter to taste. The latte portion actually tasted ok after I grabbed a straw so that I could drink it without the foam, but the foam and toppings just really threw the drink off. For $7, I expect harmonious flavors as well as an aesthetic look. I'd definitely bring my kid back for another Tots event, but I'd not get the lavender latte again.
