    Great, bright and remodeled Starbucks that is close to the hospital complex (CHOC, St. Joe's) just steps away... This is usually my go-to spot if I have a early morning. Despite how busy their morning rush is, the team is prompt and efficient in greeting customers as you walk into the store, taking and fulfilling orders. I imagine mobile orders are one of their biggest streams of customers - since they have a dedicated counter and digital board - that updates you in real-time where your order is. I can literally place my order via the Starbucks app once I park my car - and my order is waiting for me within minutes after I walk in. Coffee and food choices is consistent - food is warm and fresh - no complaints there. Parking can be a bit messy in the morning - I just drive and park near the Subway, since despite being open 24 hours - I've never seen that side of the plaza busy early in the morning. Crew is friendly and efficient. Restroom requires a code. I've never tested the wifi here since I've always stopped by just to grab breakfast before heading into work. They do have seating throughout the spacious lobby. Great stop!

    Super friendly staff and tasty dragon fruit lemonade and brown sugar shaken espresso!

    Really good! I love the service. And the ambiance is sooo chic. Love it! Friendly staff!

    This review is for Jerry. Truly the greatest barista of all time. I hear he is leaving. A loss, but his spirit will live on through his comrades. No one does it for me like he does, but it's still a great location to visit. 10/10 highly recommend.

    This is my neighborhood Starbucks that I go to about once or twice a week before heading off to work. I've never had a bad experience. Workers are relatively quick with orders even if you don't mobile order. I appreciate the friendly service every time I come in, it makes for a good start to my day.

    I have been going to this Starbucks lately it's a great location the employees are nice my drink is made correctly and taste good I don't have to wait long to get my drink the inside was remodeled last year it has a good amount of seating it's very clean I'm glad I found a good Starbucks that I can go to .

    Had to get a quick pastry !

    Awesome Starbucks location that doesn't have a drive thru but offers mobile orders and equally awesome cafe experience to catch up on some emails or comfortably drink my favorite cup of coffee with a pastry. The cafe is spacious with plenty of tables and volume...though no comfy chairs. The baristas when I visited around lunch time were friendly and got my order out to me super quick. Will comeback here for sure !

    Not true! This is the friendliest and nicest Starbucks I have come to! They are constantly cleaning. Shout out to all the workers here today, 11/12 at 12pm!

    Maria the barista was purple hair lacks human decency and was incredibly rude to me when I asked to use the restroom after I already bought a string cheese. I can't believe Starbucks allows this kind of behavior. I'm so upset and angry with how I was treated even other people said to leave a review.

    Not bad, but not good. My usual drink tasted nice which I really appreciate because there's nothing worse than when the barista makes your drink wrong. It also looked really pretty. The service was lacking, however, because it took a while to order as well as wait for my drink. I think it's because they prioritize mobile orders rather than orders that are made in-person. The shop has a lot of tables and chairs for doing work, but it was a bit messy. There were chairs askew and tables haven't been wiped down. Overall, not the worst location that I've been to but definitely not the best.

    The place wasn't clean. I was here long time ago and now looks different. It was dusty, where the napkins are with the sun you can see the dust. Also 3 people working apparently not enough to give a good service. When they gave us the drinks, the name was wrong which is not a surprise Lol. But we asked for bagels they didn't provide a knife to spread the cream cheese. For the drinks they didn't gave us straws. I had to request those utensils from them. The place wasn't crowded but the tables were unclean. There's a lot to improve in a customer service area.

    If I could give this place ZERO stars, I would. I bought something 30 minutes prior and simply needed to wash my hands, but Jacob refused to give me the restroom code, saying I had to make another purchase, absolutely ridiculous. To make matters worse, they also refused to give me a water cup unless I bought something! Since when does Starbucks deny basic human needs like restroom access and water? If this location is going to enforce made-up policies, they should PRINT THEM OUT so customers know what nonsense to expect. This place is a joke, rude employees, terrible service, and policies that make no sense. Never coming back! If the Manager is reading this, please reach out to me and refund me for my purchases

    Dropped off my partner at UC Irvine early this morning, so early that we didn't have time to make…read morecoffee at home, so I ventured in unknown territory to try some local brews. A mere 1.3 miles away, I find this eight year old coffee shop that has its name origins from the German word for bread. Evidently, they have a plethora of baked foods mainly consisting of flour, water and often yeast displayed in full display next to the counter. I asked one of the staff if the shop makes their own bread and she said a local artisan bakery supplies them. They look amazing and they even have gluten-free options! This is a family-owned business that provides a more than suitable area for working on your laptop with WiFi access, or simply enjoying your favorite hot or cold caffeinated beverage, oh, and I must mention that they have premium blends as well for the coffee aficionado! Spacious indoor area that doesn't feel cramped and the exposed ceiling vents, the jazzy beats that is playing at a perfect volume and plenty of potted plants give it a balanced chill industrial vibe. There are tables outside too that's perfect for early morning or late afternoon when it's not too hot. I ordered the Vanilla Latte hot and asked that they fill up my insulated mug instead of the cardboard cup. Even with the steady stream of patrons, I received my expertly prepared brew by their hirsute barista, who gave me "beard envy" (I can only sport a goatee) :D The crew are friendly, conversing with the regulars. I can tell they enjoy working here! I don't come to Orange very often but would definitely grab coffee here again if I'm in the area and would highly recommend this place. This place is doing something right and by mere observation, I can tell they will continue to do so for years to come! Kudos!

During my visit, there were quite a few people working on their laptops, so it seems to be a popular place to settle in for a while. As for the service, it wasn't particularly warm or welcoming. One of the baristas accidentally dropped something, creating a loud noise, and she was visibly frustrated and seemed like she didn't wanna be there which affected the overall atmosphere.

Street parking and the nearby used to fill up quickly, but now that the area charges for parking, it's even more of a commitment when I'm already picking up a $6.50 coffee. I honestly wish they had a 10 minute pickup spot in front of the shop to make things a little easier. The shop is bright, cute, and very aesthetic, with a great collection of records lining the back. Finding a table can be tricky, especially when Chapman is in session since the seating fills up quickly. I also like that they have their coffee ready on tap and add specific customizations depending on what you order. I always get the Lovebirds, which only comes in large. It's a coffee oolong milk tea, which is a pretty unique combination. I like how it's strong, more coffee-forward, and less sweet than what you'd typically get at a boba shop. I do like coming here, but I have to have a good reason to spend time in the Circle when I know I'll be paying for parking. Otherwise, it can be a little hard to justify for just a coffee run.

I don't expect over-the-top enthusiasm, but a little warmth and hospitality can go a long way in making customers feel welcome.

I ordered the breakfast burrito, and the potatoes were still raw--hard enough to remind me they were once part of the ground..
