It is located right next to the spaghetteria and grabbed a small cup of pistachio gelato. The pistachio was really good. Smooth, creamy, and had a natural nutty flavor that didn't taste artificial or overly sweet. Simple, but done really well. The cafe itself has a clean, modern feel and is a nice little extension of the restaurant. Easy spot to grab something sweet after a meal. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Perfect way to end it. Definitely would grab this again. read more

Use to absolutely love this family owned buisness however it seems to have gone hill tremendously since they expanded with a second location in Orange. It seems the family who owns and manages it is too stretched and have allowed really odd non-sensical policies and bad training to now be in place. 1. No more free refills on drinks included iced teas when dining in for dinner or lunch. 2. Most the new staff dont know the food menu in the Cafe register area. I have had to spell out and point on the menu multiple times to what I want as they are not familiar with their own menu. 3. We typically order to go at the café and eat in the Cafe at the Cafe tables. They told use recent thats no longer allowed which makes zero sense. 4. They forget to call names for take out orders on 2 occasions which had made our food cold multiple times. 5. They do zero changes or alterations to any food. Ever. Unfortunately a once awesome staple in the community has becomes mis-managed and gone down hill. read more

Storico Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Tustin, California

Cute place for breakfast/dinner located in old town. During the day, the cafe is open for things like coffee, pastries, and a small breakfast menu. You walk in and order at the counter, then they'll bring out your order. It looks like dinner is full service, and inside there is a bar with seating as well. Inside and patio are cute and cozy. I only tried the cafe today, since it was about 10 am. I ordered avocado toast with an over-medium egg. It was good, not the best, but good. It was on ciabatta, so maybe that was why. I prefer sourdough but they don't substitute. I also tried the Rosa Italian soda which was ok. Service was friendly at the counter. I think I'd come back here for dinner at some point. read more

The panini were already known to be the best around for the Italian style, but today, I got to try their avocado toast and Italian waffle, and both actually blew me away!! The bread that the avocado toast comes on is super duper soft yet nice and thick for a super satisfying way to eat some avocado, which also has some nice seasoning which includes salt, something lemony, and a few other spices on top. The Italian waffle is essentially a super soft yet extremely tasty Liege waffle that is better than any other Liege waffle I've ever eaten. The staff are friendly and probably are doing their best. It's still a bit crowded in the cafe area due to the geometries of the layout, but there's a really comfortingly Italian vibe nonetheless. read more

For breakfast I ordered a breakfast burrito with crumbled bacon, a banana matcha from the Summer menu, and a Cinnamon Matcha from the secret menu. You could never go wrong with a breakfast burrito, but this one is one of my favorites! I like how there's a hint of crunch from the hash brown inside of the burrito and everything melts so well altogether. The cinnamon matcha is definitely up in my top 10! It's sweet, smooth, and a cozy drink. I would make sure to stir the drink so the kick of the cinnamon spice won't hit the back of your throat too hard. The banana matcha wasn't too strong on the banana flavor and did a great job balancing with the matcha. It's a great addition to the summer menu! read more

This is such a quaint cafe! It is small and cozy but they have a good amount of seating. The staff is really nice. We ordered a gelato flight with strawberry, salted caramel, pistachio, and chocolate. The presentation was really cute! Strawberry- Light and refreshing. You can really taste the strawberry flavor and get plenty of fruit pieces. Salted Caramel- This has a deep caramel flavor with a hint of sea salt at the end. Rich and satisfying! Pistachio- This was delightfully creamy with a good pistachio flavor. I appreciate that it wasn't overly sweet. Chocolate- If you're looking for chocolatey goodness, this is it. It had a mild sweetness and a deep cocoa flavor. Great experience overall! read more

A hidden gem! It's a restaurant and coffee shop as well with its own parking lot out in front. I came here on a Friday morning for a quick catch up with a friend and the 'restaurant' dining area is open for seating (lots of tables!) since the restaurant doesn't open until lunch time. The menu is what you would expect and they also have some seasonal offerings. They have both food and drink -- Food was great and affordable! Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a place to meet up with friends. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available - more indoor seating though. The outdoor seating is a bit cramped outside. read more

Very nice place, cute ambiance, nice and fast service, but what it really impressed us was the carbonara pasta! Wow, very delicious and unique. Our server was very nice, he help is in all and was able to rich all our needs. The place is always full so waiting time can be more than 10 minutes but once you are inside they are very fast. Good staff storico read more

Food is so good! I love how the pasta is made there & the sauces. It's nice to eat from a place where everything is hand made. Love the drinks too! Best aperol spritz I've had in a long time!! The service is quick, and it looks like everyone enjoys working there. I love the feel of the inside of the restaurant. It's very Europe lol read more

Stopped in to grab a mocha to go before the improv show down the street (per a recommendation) and am so glad I did. Quite the quaint little Java bistro with a great menu. Also very excited to go back to try the gelato which I was so excited to see they had. This lil cafe was also attached to an Italian restaurant whose aromas of garlic and fresh tomato's brought me back to authentic Sunday pasta dinners at my grandma's house. And to think I was just "going to grab a cup of joe" somewhere and wound up being teleported to a little village in Sicily. Will definitely go back for a longer experience and dinner next time. read more

Usually love this place- The food and drinks are great but the service lately in the morning is lacking. Lots of missed items, forgotten drinks/food items, not listening for here/to-go orders. Would love if there was a baby changing table in the bathroom as well! read more

Charming cafe with cozy vibes. Staff were nice and attentive. I had the matcha latte with a hint of pistachio. Frittata was fluffy on the inside but needed some salt and good with their salsa. Sourdough bread was great, i asked for some butter. Always nice to have some greens with my meals, in this case the arugula which i prefer with a drizzle of olive oil. Hubbs got the small burrito and ice coffee. Standard for him. Very impressed with how our food stayed hot the whole time we ate. read more

Awesome service as you walk in. It wasn't as busy as it usually looks, maybe because it was a Tuesday evening. We were seated right away, we chose to sit in the café. We ordered the caccio e pepe with a side of grilled chicken. The pasta is all made in house. You can definitely tell, just by the bite of the pasta. The the sauce was not overly salty like some caccio e pepe can be; a good balance with the pepper. The chicken was well seasoned too. We ended up ordering the cinnamilk latte as well. Simple but delicious. Definitely look forward to coming back soon read more

Family owned business and quality food. I bring my family in regularly and the food is always on point.

Not only do I enjoy coming here for an authentic Italian dinner but breakfast is great too! Splurged and enjoyed the sugary lattes this morning- s'mores and peach but ultimately prefer a simple espresso drink on most days. The bakery items came out fresh from the oven so my Nutella cornetto was warm, flakey and delicious. The patio and inside space are perfect spots to hang out for coffee with friends. And thank you to the cashier for the recommendations! read more

This cafe, connected to the Storico Spaghetteria is a cute little family owned cafe that does excellent coffee and breakfast burritos, as well as other breakfast pastries I love that they offer a bigger or smaller sizes on the burritos - usually doesn't come with meat but you can add on. Their burritos are excellent and light. As for coffee, my go-to order is the pistachio latte - it's great that they have it year-round and not just a seasonal drink! read more

We sat in here one afternoon while waiting for the full restaurant to open. Had coffee, a pastry, a salad, and even a bottle of wine we bought there. Everything was excellent. Oh, I almost forgot, we enjoyed all that while playing Uno with cards that were just sitting there. They thought of everything. Even if not there for the best pasta of your life next door, I highly recommend the Cafe. Everything we had was reasonably priced and the casual vibe of the table and chairs, the couch, and the patio seats is worth coming back for again and again. read more

It' s connected to the restaurant portion and it's a smart idea. All desserts, coffees, other beverages come from this side and if you can't decide then and there to get something while you're seated, you can just walk over to get dessert afterwards and ponder some more! There's indoor seating here and outdoor heated seating as well. During breakfast/brunch time they have their own meal/dish menu items here for that as well. You can also sample their creamy smooth gelato too. We went here towards the end of the night so the salted caramel was already sold out, but all of tried their pistachio gelato which was probably some of the best pistachio gelato that we've had? Consistent flavor, not too sweet, real bits of pistachio spread throughout. What's not to love about it? If there was an option to purchase by the pint, my friend would have in a heartbeat. Don't mind swinging by again after the next Sugoi Sunday! read more

I came across this great local café scrolling through yelp. It is a restaurant/Cafe and can be a bit confusing where the Cafe is since there's two different entrance (right side will be the Cafe). They have varieties of wonderful lattes and teas as well as regular brews. Cafe is a bit small so some have to wait outside the door, in line, to place their orders. I decided to try their Latte Noci Doci with 25% sweetness. It is hazelnut and almond flavor latte. It was actually very good but wish I adjusted the sweetness down to 15%. I like my Java strong. My girlfriends ordered Match Latte and London Fog Latte which were all good as well. I will definitely come back to try the restaurant. read more

Came to this place on a first date (that was postponed 3x) after seeing Storico being recommended on TikTok. I initially meant to come to the cafe but up coming to the spaghetteria instead. Pasta dishes were okay. Not entirely mind blowing and I've had better for the price. Service was quite prompt. Don't think I'd be back though. read more

Recently discovered this great local coffee place, it's a restaurant/cafe so it can be a little confusing to find the cafe side. Let me tell you their lattes are so good, my husband and I are now regulars(mostly weekends) we've tried Dreamers iced mocha: a little sweeter then I'd like but still good, also got an iced vanilla latte can't go wrong with that one, simple but so good, perfect combination of sweet and roastiness, and most recently I tried their Berry pink matcha it was delicious! They also have a selection of baked goods, and a breakfast menu and other goodies. We like the strawberry scones or blueberry. Great service, friendly people. Definitely recommend! P.s All drinks were with oatmilk extra $ for milk sub. :)) read more

I enjoyed a Matcha latte and a apricot croissant both were very tasty!! The Match is sweetened with a pistachio sweetener which was nice but next time i think i will ask for it not to be sweetened. i hope this was helpful and you enjoy your self. read more

I rarely leave reviews, but I felt this experience needed to be shared as I've been a regular customer here for a few years and am so disappointed how my feedback got handled. I recently gave the girl at the counter feedback about how the coffee itself has had a burnt aftertaste (not the service) and was unexpectedly berated for it. I wasn't rude, just offering honest input. The owner when bringing out my order stated how I made (her sister) the girl that took the order very upset and at the end of the day it was just a cup of coffee Unfortunately, the girl at the counter was offended. The way it was handled made me feel unwelcome and uncomfortable, as if my feedback wasn't allowed or appreciated. It's disappointing because I've genuinely enjoyed coming here, but after this experience, I won't be returning. I hope the management takes this as constructive criticism, because no customer should feel dismissed or talked down to for simply sharing their experience. read more

I came here with a friend yesterday and was able to order and find a seat outside right away. Service was excellent, the guy at the register helped me choose the pistachio latte and breakfast burrito. I asked for modifications and the order was correct! Prices are right, serving size was great! The burrito came cut in half and the hashbrowns inside were soooo good! Big parking lot there too (for a downtown area). I just had to take a star off because my stomach hurt pretty badly after, which I've noticed happens with certain oils and the eggs were pretty greasy. I even got no cheese and a dairy free latte so yeah, it was the oil. But I'd probably come back and maybe just order something else! read more

We visited this cozy Italian café, where I came for a cold brew, and my partner--whose relationship with caffeine is in the realms of 'please let me sleep so I can stay alive'--went with pistachio & milk ~Fior di Pistachio~. Yes, pistachio & milk. Because apparently, we're living in a world where nuts are better with milk. I ordered the cold brew because I like my coffee the way I like my Wi-Fi: fast and life-changing. It was smooth, refreshing, and had just the right amount of caffeine to get me buzzing--I felt like I could fight through the Sunday Costco crowds to get to my fresh fruits. It was, dare I say, ~pleasant~ and empowering (?). Then there's my partner. Bless his caffeine-sensitive heart. While I was amid my cold brew-fueled delusions, he decided to keep things light with pistachio & milk. He was blissfully unaware that real coffee drinkers were around him, but I like his confidence and boldness (?) in not ordering coffee or tea at the cafe (yes, love, you fight the overpowered caffeine industry, you got this, I will support your endeavors but I'll still drink coffee). But to be fair, pistachio milk looked oddly sophisticated, like the kind of drink that would fit a Victorian saloon where you discuss classical music while wearing silk gloves, not to leave your fingerprints where you will then commit your crimes... err at classy soriées (it was very good; I had some). But the best part? My partner took a sip and looked at me with a face that said, "It's so pleasant, I want to bathe in it." well, I'm not sure he wanted to bathe in it. He told me, "It's nice." he has such a way with words (:p). Meanwhile, I was over here vibrating, image training, and fully prepared to fight for parking at Costco. This café has something for everyone: caffeinated cold brew for the chaotic and pistachio & milk for those who want to just vibe. read more

This part of Storico is the cafe which is a part of the restaurant. It's hours are a bit different from the pasta restaurant and you'll find that the cafe is open at times that the main restaurant isn't. The cafe has an assortments of treats and gelato by the cone or cup. There are some tables and a tiny lounge area for coziness. They offer sandwiches like paninis and breakfast items like avocado toast and breakfast burrito. The staff are always so friendly and kind offering a pleasant time at this place. read more

This was our first time visiting Storico and we absolutely loved it. My cortado was the best I've had in many years, and my husband and friend loved their lattes.

Finally, the cafe itself is cute and comfy, with ample parking. We will make this a regular haunt. read more
