    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.

    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!

    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!

    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

    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!

    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

    Banana Oat lattes

    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 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!

    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.

    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.

    Does espresso come in the black sesame latte?

    Yes our black sesame latte is made with our standard double shot of Crown Point espresso, house made black sesame and steamed milk. You can add one of our cream tops for a velvety treat. We also offer black sesame matcha latte if you prefer matcha… Read more

    Which Sightglass beans are used for the latte here?

    We use Crown Pointe blend for all of our espresso based drinks.

    Do you have sugar-free syrup?

    Are they really closed on Sundays?

    Just got an email that says they're now open on Sunday 8-3 starting April 6

    Is your coffee organic and do you have Good Mylk or similar?

    Hi Ashley, some of our blends like Crown Point Espresso and Blueboon Cold Brew are organic. We offer oat milk from Ghost Town Oats as a milk alternative.

    For the scone, does it served with cream and jam?

    No it does not, I got mine with just the scone

(Does anyone work anymore!? ) The longest I waited was an hour but that was 3 weeks after opening. And I can tell you, as long as you have the time it will be worth it. The overall aesthetic is coastal cowboy meets rustic modern. There is a ton of seating with a great outdoor patio. Parking in the back is pretty slim, so your best bet is street parking. You can either get lucky or park around the block, depending on the day / time. My absolute favorite coffee is the Hawaiian Cowboy. It flavor profile is a nutty tasting honey that's refreshing yet not overly sweet. You can actually taste the espresso without it being too powerful. This coffee is worth the wait. Their other drinks are also good, but this one takes the cake. They have a pretty expansive food menu as well, so it's much more than "just a coffee shop". And you can't forget about their baked goods. O M G. It's from a local bakery (sift bakery) who makes the best non basic treats around. Salty horse found its place at the top of my list in a very saturated coffee market.
