    Iced Ava Special

    Stopped in on a Monday morning around 10am. Plenty of parking available. Cutest little coffee shop I've been to. Loved that I saw a dog bowl out front before I even stepped inside. Outdoor and indoor seating available. Lots of coffee options available and a few bagels, muffins, and breakfast sandwiches available. Went with an iced Ava Special and a breakfast sandwich on an English muffin. The coffee was the perfect balance of flavors, sweetness, and coffee. I was able to get both items for under $10 which is amazing!! Cashier was super friendly and helpful. She gave me time to look over the menu and offered assistance if I needed it.

    Finished raisin walnut bar with cream cheese, an iced chai latte and flat white latte in my own cup...

    A nice lil cafe. Customers and their dogs are friendly and sociable and staff are also super sweet and kind. Coffee was perfect. Daughter's iced chai latte Very yummy and we shared a raisin walnut bar only because everything else was pretty empty at the hour that we came in, so that's obviously a good thing LOVE a locally owned cafe (not *bucks) that's been around a few decades

    A nice coffee house and hangout for locals. Great service and good drink variety. Average pastries. Outside and inside seating. Fair pricing.

    Playing Pokémon and enjoying good coffee!

    This is my go to spot! Don't go to Dunkin' next door and sleep on this place. This cafe may be small but it has hands down some of the best coffee drinks. The roasts they use are delicious and I'm an espresso / americano kind of girl. My husband loves their Villa Park cold brew. He compares all other cold brews to it! The service is great, we're always greeted and offered changes to our drinks if we're trying something new. Sometimes we've been able to try samples of the menu if we're unsure (like flavored coffees). There is a little seating inside and then some nice seating outside. It can be busy before 10am but after that is the best time to go, in my opinion.

    I came out here to try this place since it's close to my neighborhood. It was a bit of a struggle to find it because it was right next to the bank and easy to miss. When I came I found a line forming outside, and noticed that's there's very little inside seating. The staff is very friendly and they offer lots of substitutes! I will say that it's not the most quiet coffee shop, since it was hard to hear the other person speak from across the table. Overall my drink was decent, and the staff was friendly.

    Stumbled upon this little local spot and was happy to give it a try. I didn't know what I wanted exactly, but I knew I wanted an iced flavored drink. What do you know, the special was "Ava special"- and iced nutty coffee with caramel, chocolate, and cinnamon sprinkle. Perfect! They were out of regular caramel but subbed sugar-free caramel and that was fine. Minus one star for the lack of masks in that crowded cramped space. But I'd be back and maybe buy some coffee beans too.

    Iced vanilla matcha

    This place is so cute! I've come in twice now and loved my drinks both times. I got the strawberry matcha and vanilla matcha. I like my drinks sweet and they were perfect for me as made. The staff is so nice and friendly! I came in at 6:40am on a week day and there were a handful of people you could tell were regulars. They were all sitting together and chatting. One customer brought in a birthday gift for one of the staff. I loved that! So much better than chain coffee shops.

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.

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!

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.

    Frankly, my experience at play coffee was lackluster…read more Play coffee is a coffee shop with an odd atmosphere. It exists inside an old bank with high rising beams and ornate details on both sides of the walls. In theory, it sounds quite nice until you realize the coffee shop only makes up like 1/3 of the space and looks more like a makeshift pop-up rather than working into the infrastructure. The coffee was okay. My boyfriend got a maple latte that came with a lemon squeeze inside of it (not a good mix). The service was my least favorite part of the experience. I walked in and I myself greeted a barista with glasses. After a moment, he looked up from his whisk and said "hey guys I'll be with you in a moment". Several minutes pass by when another employee comes around from behind us, finishes her task, greets us, and helps us with our order instead. She was actually very nice and personable. I had brought in a to-go sandwich from the deli across the street due to the fact that my boyfriend wanted coffee and wanted to make a pit stop before we head home. While I waited, I took a couple bites at a table as they prepared our drinks. My boyfriend went to pick up our drinks. When he came back, he informed me that the same male barista with glasses said that I couldn't eat in here due to the smell of the food: a comment which caught me off guard. The smell of my deli sandwich would stink up this large coliseum-like building? What a weird thing to say. If he would have said something more direct like "no outside food or drink in here please" I would've respected that. But to comment on the smell of the food? Unnecessary. Especially given his customer interaction with us was already not personable. I don't plan on returning to play coffee unless something changes.
