Mandro E.

I was in the area and searched for coffee roasters near me and found this place. Glad I found them. They are tucked in a semi-private location off the main streets, but the coffee was amazing and the chocolate banana bread was one of the best I had recently. Service was quick and I loved the interior, simple and clean. Will come back when in the area.

This coffee shop is very clean and has nice 'waking up' lighting inside. They have a seasonal menu with many options. I love that this is a Jesus loving space. I got the iced vanilla chai. It's a good drink. Reasonable prices: two drinks for $10 & some change. I look forward to trying to Dubai latte next time!

Tru Bru Coffee in Laguna Niguel is one of those hidden gems you would definitely miss if you're not specifically looking for it. Tucked in the back corner of a quiet, mostly empty plaza, I honestly thought I was going the wrong way--but I'm so glad I kept going. The shop itself is small and charming, with a few bar-style seats and a clean, simple setup. The menu isn't huge, but it's focused and high quality. I came specifically to try the chai tea latte after hearing great things and ended up getting a dirty chai--it was phenomenal. Easily one of the best I've had. Smooth, the right amount of sweet, and perfectly spiced. I also asked for a recommendation and was told they make their vanilla in-house, so I ordered an iced vanilla latte. It was delicious--super balanced and not overly sweet. The flavor of the coffee itself really came through and made it enjoyable. While the Laguna Niguel location is smaller and more grab-and-go, parking is easy and it's a great stop if you're in the area and want a quality caffeine fix. I've heard the Irvine location has a bigger menu and more seating, so I'm definitely planning to check that one out too. If you're a chai fan or just appreciate well-crafted drinks, Tru Bru is absolutely worth a stop.

Matcha

Hidden in a little business complex, you can also order online for pick up to save time. Small coffee spot, not meant for studying or sitting with a group of friends. Menu is simplistic with drip, espresso, lattes, cappuccino, cold brew, etc. I went with a matcha latte and a chai latte. Milk substitutions available and sweeteners as well. I thought they matcha was decent, it comes unflavored so added vanilla flavor, the matcha flavor wasn't as strong as I liked. The chai was pretty flavorful and would recommend this one! Overall pretty good smooth coffee, great for a morning pick me up!

Chai latte

The sweetest and most down to earth staff, with the best recommendations for the ultimate coffee drink! I got the chai dirty vanilla latte with a banana foam top! It is out of this world amazing!

looking through window at roaster

This coffee place would never be found unless you learned about it on Yelp or social media. It is in an industrial section on the border of Lake Forest/Laguna Hills, in the rear of a business complex. Even if you were in the area (for which there is virtually no reason you'd normally be) you'd never find it as it isn't visible from the street. I drove past the driveway to the business complex a couple times before I figured it out. The interior is tiny; just a few stools at a counter along the front window. It's more of a grab-n-go place. My guess is that this is where they roast their coffee and figured 'what the heck, let's let people buy coffee drinks here too if they are able to find us.' The two women working here were cordial and efficient. I got a hot mocha and a chocolate chip cookie from their small selection of pastries. I enjoyed both in my car. The mocha was served at perfect drinking temperature. It was good as was the cookie. Neither was exceptional or wooed me to return. But if I worked in the area it would be a nice place to grab some coffee now and then. If you don't work in the area it's sort of a fun treasure hunt.

Banana Bread
Jason Y.

ORGANIC COFFEE ROASTERS !!!! WOW! I stopped in here on the way back from my morning errands commute. So I decided to try their seasonal gingerbread iced latte. I also grabbed one of their banana bread treats which is also organic, gluten-free and has chocolate chips. The latte was very delicious has a good gingerbread spice flavor and comes with a small gingerbread cookie 5/5. The banana bread was a perfect treat to go with the coffee, the taste was on point to what I've been looking for 5/5 for flavor and size. The barista was very nice and gave suggestions and I opted to try the seasonal drink! It has a small seating area inside and a window inside of the roastery, everything looks nice and new! It was a little hard to find because it's in a industrial park. But the majority of maps will get you to the right building. Make it easier on yourself by driving straight after pulling in the driveway then look left and it will be on the furthest corner space. I turned the wrong way and drove around the building until I found it, was worth it!

Chai latte and banana walnut bread
Vivian P.

Very cute spot conveniently located and with ample parking. I tried the passion fruit tea, strawberry scone, and banana walnut bread. The tea was sweet but not overly so and the pastries were soft, warm, and delicious. The service was also quick and friendly. This is a new location, so they didn't have hot food yet, but they said they will be serving food in a few days. Very excited to come back and get some good eats

Been looking for high quality matcha in my area for quite some time & I found it! Got the iced matcha latte with honey (it doesn't come sweetened) and the walnut banana bread was divine! Will def be coming back. It is also located in a business complex so a bit hidden but they were actually busy when I came by.

One of the best dirty chai's I've ever had

I highly recommend stopping in and don't forget to take a few knock knocks to go! I only give four stars because they have removed the coconut knock knock and chocolate coconut croissant from their menu. Both items were elite (the coco knock being a staple of the scratch menu) and the sadness that has been caused by the removal of these items is unacceptable. Please deeply consider bringing back one if not both items. The scratch community will thank you!

Jen went with the Southwest Breakfast Sandwich and I opted for the Breakfast Burrito with Chorizo. Jen also had a cappuccino and I had a cafe mocha. Jen liked her sandwich and I tried a small bite. More of a lunch taste for me. My burrito was very upscale. All ingredients finely diced and the red sauce gave it a good kick. Jen liked my choice as well. A lovely woman was dining alone and Jen asked her about her dish. It was the BBLT and she highly recommended it, especially if you love bacon (hence the B.B. - double bacon). With breakfast out of the way, we looked at all their bakery options. Jen selected their Bananas Foster Knock Knock and a Lemon Shortbread Square. I went with an Original Knock Knock and their Chocolate Decadent Cake. Jen liked her Knock Knock. I'm saving mine but sure I'll enjoy. The store is large enough to browse items and not feel like you are in the way of others. As for dining, good amount of seating outside. Noise depends on who's there and how many. This is now in our breakfast/lunch rotation. I look forward to trying their salads, sandwiches or perhaps a burger.

The price for 2 pizzas is less than we would have spent on a night out, so it was so worth it for the quality. I have zero complaints. I just wish I had room for another slice. 10/10 would recommend.

They also didn't offer much explanation about their drinks, so if you're not sure what you want, it can feel a little rushed. Inside seating is very limited, which makes sense for the size. The highlights for us Young man offered me a sample of Kombucha: the kombucha was solid, and refreshing. Both the regular latte and the black latte were okay. The blackberry latte was better. One nice bonus is there's a great park just around the corner down the hill with beautiful views. You can grab your drink and drive over to sit and enjoy it there, which is a nice touch. But honestly, it's probably not worth making a special drive for.

Words cannot begin to describe how IMPECCABLE my experience was here at Milk & Honey™ 26921 Aliso…read moreCreek Rd Aliso Viejo, CA 92656! From the moment I walked in, I knew I was about to witness greatness. The acai bowls and crepes were UNBELIEVABLY delicious... eerily delicious, actually. They tasted suspiciously familiar but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.. No complaints honestly. The pastries were equally incredible and tasted remarkably familiar as well. Almost too remarkably..... Coincidence? I think not. Regardless, 10/10 in my opinion. And I simply cannot forget Aliyah, the greatest employee to ever grace this establishment... Even a lobotomy could not erase this first class level experience I received.. The ground I walked on was worshipped.. My drink (the cookie butter latte) was made with such immense care and attention to detail.. I was blown away to say the least. She was so kind to me and she even complimented my new haircut! (I thought it was botched) I was treated like I was worth something for once! It's been awhile since I've felt like that... (rowley left me 6 months pregnant) but that's besides the point.. Five stars does not do her justice. She deserves at least 67 stars and her own nobel peace prize as well. As for Quandale Dingle the third (me, obviously), I can confidently say my experience was INCREDIBLE to say the least. The two clones of me were unfortunately unavailable to comment at this time (long story). Overall, Milk & Honey™ is not just a restaurant. It is a lifestyle. It is a movement. It is ABSOLUTE CINEMA [insert absolute cinema meme here] 10/10. Would return. Would recommend. Zoo-Wee Mama, Quandale dingle the third
