I wish I lived closer! Second trip, and now this is one of my fav OC coffee/tea spots…read more Brought my friend for her B-day on a Sat mid-morning in Sept. The line goes to the door much of the time, but they keep it moving, keep it kind, and the one barista keeps the drinks coming out so quickly that you barely have time to find a seat! It was pretty full again with half studier/workers and half friend pairs/ groups. We happened to come on the day they had a collab for jeans recycling with Madewell: donate a pair of jeans and get a free 12-oz drink from the "taplist" (regular menu list) plus a coupon for 15% off a pair of jeans! What a great and generous promo for a cause. Inside vinyl shops look fun. I am sad that the stationery shop is gone, but still looking forward to bringing my fam to check our the vinyl and fun drinks. The drinks: We came here just for the Fall Banoffee Latte because we crave/miss this British flavor. It was pretty good and a good sweetness, but I think toffee topping or a little more toffee flavor would've elevated it. I actually liked the free pour of Strawberry Swing even better! Green tea with strawberry flavor and a floral touch without bitterness. Had a taste of my friend's Princess Daisy green tea with mango/passion fruit, and it had a bit of bitter/tea flavor, but it grew on my friend's palate with every sip. The food: Only tried the cinamon sugar donut, which was tasty, solid regualr yeast donut topped with ?buttercream frosting and 8 or so cinnamon toast crunch pieces. The add-it-yourself maple drizzle dropper was a fun touch, though might've liked it a tad more viscous if possible (turned out looking like it rained maple syrup on the donut, heh). Plenty of parking on Orange St public parking lot or along that street. Now they charge at the lot, about $1.45 per hour (oh well, better than LA parking). Looking forward to returning! Maybe for the bananas foster matcha (heard good things from friend of a foodie friend :)).

I saw their IG post about their new fall drinks and I really wanted to try their matchas fosters so that's what I went for. I was so excited to try it but man, the flavor was just not there. First the syrup at the bottom (I'm assuming is banana) tasted so artificial. Then the matcha itself didn't taste like anything, tasted like water so the whole drink barely had any taste except the artificial tasting syrup. Even looking at the picture they posted on IG, that picture had three layers and my drink didn't look like that. It was almost $9! The flavor was lacking big time. I also got their banana bread and it was okay, I've had better. I'm so sad because I wanted to come back and do work here cause I loved the vibe. But the bad taste of the drink put a damper and not sure if I'll be back.

The coffee was so good it made me question every gas station coffee I've ever defended. One sip in and I suddenly felt qualified to give TED Talks, start three businesses, and reorganize my entire life before noon. The staff was friendly, the drinks came out quickly, and everything tasted like it was actually made by someone who cared instead of someone just trying to survive the morning rush. If caffeine had a luxury version, this would be it. I walked in half asleep and walked out acting like I had my life completely together. Five stars. I'll definitely be back the next time I need a cup of coffee that makes me believe I can answer emails I've been ignoring for two weeks.

I am writing this review because a few of my friends and I have frequented this coffee shop for a few years now, but we wont be back for a while. Months ago, one of my friends had made a visit and overheard an elderly woman making a negative comment about a Pride flag displayed by the register. Obviously other customers comments cant be or shouldn't be controlled by the company, but we were extremely disappointed to find out that since that comment was made, the Pride flag has been taken down. I had ran in to grab a drip before work one morning and noticed that some of the baristas also no longer had their Pride flag pins on. This clearly has details I am unaware of but it seems obvious that corporate had those images removed. This makes me and my friends feel very uncomfortable with how this situation was treated. I wouldn't recommend any of my friends to support this kind of activity. One very simple solution for you: Bring back the flag and you'll bring back our buisness! If you're worried about more complaints from individuals like the elderly woman, maybe fly an American flag as well I simply want people to feel safe and accepted.

We ordered the breakfast burrito and smoked salmon toast. The smoked salmon toast was really good, but the bread was a bit hard; it wasn't the soft bread.

It's not often today for the owner of a business to reach out directly to a customer - she did and it was a very positive engagement. There are time that even the best business has a hiccup and something goes wrong. What makes a huge difference is how the business responds, and therefore, Rekindle gets five stars. I'm certain my next visit will be fantastic - I'll be posting an update in the near future. Wow - So Disappointed! Rekindle was at the Taste of Orange this year and I enjoyed one of the Italian sandwich samples they were handing out. It was fantastic! We met the owner - she was very charismatic and charming. Today we stopped by to grab an Italian sandwich, and I just cannot believe they served me bread that was so old and dry - it would have been perfect for croutons, but definitely nothing like what we had at the Taste of Orange. The bread was so dry I had to dress it up with some olive relish to eat it - I don't expect when I pay $31 for a sandwich and chai iced tea latte to get home and have to start working on my sandwich. I accept some responsibility for this, because honestly, who goes to a coffee shop for a sandwich.

The menu however, is minimal, and while they have some specialty drinks, be prepared to order something a little more standard such as a Matcha or coffee based drink like a latte. They have a small selection of baked goods, including ham and cheese, croissants, and I believe a cardamom bun, which makes me wonder if there's a slight Scandinavian influence since I only see cardamom buns at Nordic adjacent places. There's a decent amount of seating and plenty of parking in the back.

I used to love this place because of its great atmosphere and friendly staff, but my experience…read moreyesterday with other staff was very disappointing. I ordered a Match Strawberry with no ice, but received a plain green drink with no strawberry flavor at all. When I asked about it, the staff gave me conflicting excuses, When I asked about it, the first staff member claimed the strawberry paste was already mixed in. When I brought it up again, the second staff member blamed the green color on my "no ice" request, even though other customers had drinks with clear pink strawberry layers. Ordering with no ice shouldn't make the strawberry ingredient completely disappear. And both of them looked pretty unfriendly too. Also that matcha drink was too sweet and ended up throwing it away. Given that this cafe charges premium prices compared to others, I expect much better and more honest customer service.

Oh, The Lost Bean... I'm at a loss for words…read more I really wanted to love this location. I've been a customer at the Tustin location for years, so I walked in excited. Unfortunately, this visit was one disappointment after another. We arrived at 8:30 a.m. hoping for a peaceful coffee-and-breakfast morning. Instead, we accidentally wandered into what felt like a Janis Joplin tribute concert. The music was blasting at nightclub volume--not exactly the relaxing start to the day we had in mind. But surprisingly... that wasn't even the worst part. The food was incredibly disappointing. I ordered the breakfast burrito, and the potatoes were still raw--hard enough to remind me they were once part of the ground.. My husband ordered the French toast, which looked suspiciously like it took a quick detour from Trader Joe's frozen aisle before landing on our table. There's nothing wrong with frozen French toast... unless you're charging $14 and calling it brunch. Another friend ordered the granola with berries. After a few bites, he gave it a skeptical look, pushed the bowl away, and decided breakfast simply wasn't worth the gamble. The coffee was decent , but honestly wasn't worth fighting the neighbors for a parking spot!
