I had a great experience at Mameya Coffee Roasters thanks to the owner, Dice…read more I originally placed the wrong order, but instead of just fixing it, Dice personally took the time to replace it tailored to my preferences--no extra charge. That kind of customer service is rare today. What stood out even more was the conversation about coffee roasting, acidity levels, and how different roasts can affect digestion. I've had issues in the past where coffee bothered my stomach, so I stop drinking it altogether, but Dice actually helped me understand the differences and guided me toward personalized better choices. Overall, it was not just a coffee purchase, but an educational and genuinely thoughtful experience. Highly recommend this place if you care about quality coffee and people who actually know their craft. Thank you Mr Dice!

I've started dabbling in the art of coffee making with my own espresso machine. One of the most…read moreimportant things I've learned is that procuring the best beans is more than half the battle. While researching roasters in the south OC area, I found Mameya in Laguna Niguel. I instantly feel in love with their concept of "blending Japanese tradition and innovation to create a coffee experience that transcends the ordinary." They specialize in offering beans from all over the world and roast them to your personal preference. Being able to pick your beans and roast level is simply amazing. This allows the fresh taste and small batches for experimenting. The quality is so remarkable and their online ordering system is great for timing each new batch for ease of pickup. If you are looking for a new coffee experience that specializes in quality coffee for rememberable consumption, Mameya has you covered!

My sister and I really enjoyed the coffee during our last visit, so we were hoping the matcha would live up to the same standard. I ordered the Double Matcha Latte with oat milk and 50% sweetness, and it had a really nice strong matcha flavor. My sister got the Raspberry Matcha Latte, since raspberry is usually her go-to flavor pairing, and she liked it overall but realized raspberry may not be her favorite fruit to combine with matcha. The server also mentioned that the drinks are sweetened with agave, which was nice to know. I also appreciated that they don't charge extra for milk alternatives, especially as someone who is lactose intolerant. Even at 50% sweetness, I probably could have gone a little less sweet, but overall it was still a great experience. Definitely a place I'd come back to again.

That kind of genuine hospitality really stands out. If you're in the area, you absolutely have to stop by.

The croissant looked alright on the outside but this is were my positive appreciation stops. A croissant should be both crisp and flaky and this one failed miserably.

They offer a decent selection of coffee, tea and matcha drinks, and also have a small selection of pastries and bagels. Service was great, as the cashiers were friendly and welcoming.

They have top notch, high speed wifi and is a relatively quiet space in the afternoon (be advised morning may be louder due to the various ongoing church activities offered). Overall, nice and clean coffee shop in AV.

There is a vast amount of seating if you decide to sit and relax in the quiet atmosphere there. The list of offerings is short and simple. I asked for a vanilla latte but the kind barista sheepishly informed me they were out of vanilla so I opted for a honey latte. I just had lunch so, although the few pastries in the pastry case looked tempting, I passed this time. The honey latte was excellent, slightly sweet and served at a temperature that was immediately drinkable. I took it on the road this time but, as mentioned, the abundance of tables and the serene ambiance make this a great place to sit for a while and read, return emails, get some work done, contemplate the universe, or converse with a friend. I'm not often in this area but would not hesitate to stop here in the future to enjoy a coffee.

Very long wait but it's worth it for a special treat…read more The pastries all look incredible but we had to get the limited edition Cinnamoroll blueberry bread. It was so light, fluffy and like a cloud! The turkey croissant reminded me of croissants in Europe - it was crispy, flaky perfection. We got matcha sea salt cold brew drinks and they were phenomenal. Some of the best cold brew I've ever had (mine was the black cold brew, my friend got the caramel cold brew with milk). The cream top is so unique and flavorful and you can tell everything is made fresh with intention. Once you order, everything comes out very fast too. No seating inside but there's plenty of outdoor seating which is perfect for enjoying these treats.

You could tell it's because of the whole team of people who made this happen so God bless you all. You get a free box if you order 6 pastries, and considering our family we grabbed exactly 6 pastries. They go out quickly and are restocked quickly. We were told that the cheese jalepeno is very good, and it was Stellar. It's my favorite out of the rest. I think there's a noticeable difference in not just the design but also the "cleanness" of the flavors especially for savory pastries. The milk roll bun melted in our mouths. I ordered a rose matcha latte and it was noticeably of higher quality too. This is a place to treat loved ones. I hope there would be more indoor seating in the future because I would otherwise come here frequently to work and study! God bless you all+
