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
Ava L.

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!

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

Came with my fiance for the orange county burger week kickoff for ocfoodies at Bru Grill and Market…read morein lake forest. We were all seated on the raised patio. Dinner included appetizers, a choice of burger, dessert bar, and 2 adult beverages. Our server took our drink orders first and later took our main course burger orders. Every couple received a bag containing a vodka water can, bloody Mary mix, pickled jalapeno peppers, mini donuts, bottle opener, and a $25 Bru gift card amongst other things. Food was good and served hot. The burgers were generous half pound patties with delicious toppings. We enjoyed the live music from a cover band sleepy dogs.

We were tired, hungry, and annoyed because of the delay, which was due to them having a huge event at their new patio. I felt they could've warned us when we walked in at 6:30 that there was an hour and a half at least wait and we would've gone somewhere else. Our server was the main saving grace of the evening. She was amazingly responsive, kind, and eventually offered us free drink, and dessert. Luckily, when the hamburgers came, they were "pretty good" is what my family said. I had the shrimp taco, which was not up to the normal standard. I would always recommend Bru for their hamburger, but I would also suggest that you call and make sure that you're not going to have a long wait

Rooms were spacious, clean, looks more newly renovated. I'm not sure if all the rooms do, but ours had a nice little balcony out the back of the bathroom. Nice selection of mini bar, lots of snacks and drinks to choose from, it's Wine o'clock Happy Hour in the lobby (free red or white wine with yummy warm cookies). The hotel lends out umbrellas, beach chairs, and towels if you want to go walk the 10 minutes to the beach. There are loads of restaurants and boutiques within walking distance too. I think it's $50 a night for a car? I'm not quite sure, but it was around there. It's quiet, convenient, clean, and we would probably stay there again.

A special thank you to the manager Cole, who truly went above and beyond. Despite the cancellation policy, they took the time to listen, showed genuine compassion, and helped arrange a full refund. That level of care and humanity is rare, and it did not go unnoticed. While I wasn't able to stay this time, this experience alone has made me a loyal customer. I will absolutely be booking here in the future and recommending this hotel to friends and family. Thank you again for your empathy and outstanding service during a very difficult moment.

What else to say about Chaupain, except it's always exceptional?…read more I'm biased - but their pastries have got to be the best in OC. This is the 3rd Chaupain location I've been to, I happened to be in the area. It's smaller than the one on La Paz in LN to be sure, but ample size enough to provide anyone with full tastes of their amazing goods. I like everything - I've tried nearly all of their pastries and cakes, this time I tried the cinnamon roll- which was insanely good, soft, and tasted of such quality. Actually - never tried their quiche, which is certainly on a bucket list for next time. I highly recommend everything they have - but just to name a new, the guava cream cheese, cinnamon cream cheese, mixed berry bateau, opera cake, vanilla scone, any of their croissants, lemon tiramisu, and the jamon sandwich is incredible - I love that the bread had a chewy texture, which is perfect for this sandwich. Adding any of the American condiments would almost be a sacrilege, but a bit of dijon is good, which they have there in packets- the flavours work so well together. I really struggle to restrain myself when coming here, which necessary for your wallet and your waistline - but whatever you decided it's all good here. The customer service was also stellar - very friendly, helpful, and personable. Thank you !
