Wilson Coffee is located behind Eller Bakery with marked parking stalls. It's cozy spot that has your essential coffee and espresso drinks and coffee beans! The beans and roaster are stored behind the counter. I told the barista my preferred notes and how I brew my coffee. I trusted his recommendation and purchased the beans from Guatemala. I believe it was $21 for one pound. Other places sell 10/12oz beans for the same price! After brewing the beans a couple times with my aeropress, I definitely enjoy the balanced notes. I will definitely come back to try more beans!

Cozy coffee roaster behind Ellers Bakery. They sell beans or drinks. The drinks are good. The vanilla maple ice latte was very balanced and refreshing. The hot latte was nice a strong. Parking was available when we visited in the small private lot. Please come and create your own adventure.

Timor beans... Recommended if you love darker brews!

Take it from a self-professed coffee snob...Wilson Coffee Roasting is the BEST! I love dark, flavorful coffees and I dislike the lighter, fruitier blends I find far too frequently. Tried Wilson's Timor Coffee and was blown away. I thought that I had found my forever brew in Joshua Tree Roasters' "The First Roast" beans... ...then that was supplanted by Twiga Coffee's Guatemala beans... ...now my beloved Twiga has been supplanted by Wilson's Timor beans! Wilson, long live your reign!

What an unexpected treasure. Great service. Wonderful coffee and lots of yummy treats and breads. Sitting outside is very peaceful

Vanilla Maple Latte

Great little spot! I had heard wonderful things about this place and their large selection of quality beans so I had to check it out! Hidden in the parking lot behind Eller Bakery, this place is such a find. I wanted to try their coffee before committing to purchasing beans, but I got the vanilla maple latte and it was DELICIOUS! Many people don't understand, but the way coffee is crafted is an art and can make or break your drink entirely. This place was spot on and they know exactly what they're doing. On top of that, you can literally taste the quality in your drink. I can't wait to come back!

Quaint little coffee company that's been around for 21 years! I don't know how we never stumbled upon this place. Owner is easy going and served us up some lattes. Nothing frilly but just good ol' lattes. Yum! Coffee is roasted in house and you can expect that it tastes as good as it smells. Definitely check out this local spot! *It's a hidden gem located in the plaza behind Eller bakery.

cold brew

the owner was rude to me and my friend when we asked questions on the menu. i asked if there was sugar free syrups. he condescending says there are no syrups at all. my friend then asked how he got the vanilla flavor in her latte, he responded that he used maple syrup and vanilla extract. upon tasting her drink my friend said the espresso tasted burnt. she said she didn't taste vanilla but did taste maple. my cold brew did not have a pleasant flavor. it was one of the worst ones i've had. I carry flavor drops with me for instances like this where the coffee is almost unredeemable. this was one of those times. i actually felt the flavor drops helped. the interior was small. not a good place to stay and sit or get work done. there were minimal decorations but they all were coffee related. i only saw men in there. i think the owner may have been the only one working. overall i didn't have a very good experience. i do appreciate how many distinct blends of coffee they offer. I would love to try more if I was to be invited back.

A super neat find I don't want anyone to know about-- even though I wasn't the one who found it. I don't want to share. Great freshly roasted coffee beans for all those who're caffeine-with-taste addicts. This workshop is so fun and rustic while also completely functional by all accounts-- I want to setup a work area here and slowly take over at least half the shop. Whoever it is that works there are always super nice and Knowledgeable with what we all crave. Taste and jitters.

Whoever is leaving a 1 start review is either never happy with anything or thoroughly finding…read moresomething negative to say in whatever they experience (at least on Yelp). Hands down some of the best coffee in OC. If you don't like sweet, don't get a drink with flavoring. Or ask them to adjust. Simple! If you want something yummy and different, try their seasonal menu. I have never once felt like staff was rude. Every interaction has been authentic and genuine. The best. Lastly, long lines happen because this place has grown A TON post-COVID. They're also in the same building as a church, so get there early on the weekend or sit in line and enjoy the atmosphere. There's a friendly crowd there. Thank you Lion & Lamb for being a consistent go-to since Covid. You guys rock.

For our drinks, we got two signature drinks: *lucky matcha* and *cookie butter latte* They're both on the sweeter side but still good. They live up to the name and description. You're able to taste the marshmallow in the matcha and the biscoff and cinnamon on the latte. For food, we got *avocado toast* The bread was very fresh, thick and moist. My favorite part was the pickled onions. I'd definitely get it again. And the *breakfast burrito* is okay. Nothing outstanding - they did tell us they get them made a day before and they warm up upon order.

The space itself is gorgeous; very industrial, modern, and effortlessly cool, but still warm and inviting. From the moment we arrived until we left, the cafe stayed packed, which honestly says everything. We decided to sit outside in their back garden area and it was such a cute, quaint little escape. Perfect atmosphere for a slow breakfast date. The food was incredible. Eller is clearly serious about sourdough and they absolutely nail the execution. We shared the sourdough cinnamon roll and it was easily one of the best pastries we've had in a long time. I ordered the bacon quiche with a side salad, and my husband had the breakfast sandwich with chicken sausage, both were outstanding and felt thoughtfully made with really high-quality ingredients. For drinks, he had the hot Americano and I went with the cold protein latte. Both were solid choices and paired perfectly with breakfast. Between the amazing food, beautiful aesthetic, and cozy outdoor space, Eller completely delivered. Already looking forward to going back.

For $8/croissant, I had much higher expectations and would have AT LEAST thought the croissants were going to be fresh since it was 7am. This was really disappointing and not worth the price. The staff were friendly and had a pleasant atmosphere but I won't be coming back here. Everything is so expensive nowadays, so this was supposed to be a nice treat but ended up being a huge disappointment.

The location has plenty of parking and plenty of seating. There is an outdoor patio, and inside there is a first floor seating area, and a second floor seating area. The interior had high ceilings and modern practical decor. Staff will take your order at the cashier, but they also have a kiosk if you want to avoid human interaction. I was here for a few hours, so I started off with a hot beverage since I saw that they have mug service. I had the hot Churro Latte ($8.15/large) and I was warned it's a bit sweet so staff suggested that I get it less sweet. I appreciated the gesture but maybe that's why I didn't taste too much of the churro flavor. It tasted like a good regular latte but maybe they held back on the caramel and cinnamon to the point I couldn't detect it. Seating is first come first serve. It was actually really busy and difficult to find an ideal spot. Since I was alone I sat at a high top ledge, strategically near an outlet. From what I saw, they had a really good amount of outlets in the indoor seating area. Later on I went back and ordered an iced Blueberry Lavender Matcha with Cold Foam ($9.25/large) and a Deluxe Avocado Toast ($15) which comes with egg, bacon, and herb oil. I like that this location serves the avocado toast with a knife and fork cause it was much needed. It was a bit on the wet side. Maybe I should ask for light herb oil next time. For how much this avocado toast cost, I would have liked more avocado. The avocado was more of a spread, not whole slices of avocado. Still good, just an observation. The blueberry lavender matcha was okay. I could taste the lavender but it was overpowering the matcha and the blueberry was hard to detect at all. Honestly the location and plentiful seatings is what stood out most from this experience. I would consider coming back since I know their products are good from trying their other locations but I wouldn't get the drinks I ordered this time. For how expensive coming here was, I wish I was a little more satisfied.

I remember trying to go here a while back ago when it blew up on TikTok but ended up not sticking…read morearound because it was so crowded (and also because I got harassed by a neighbor outside who, in his own words, was trying to make people feel not welcome here because he was angry about people coming in and parking in the neighborhood... weird). Still, I decided to give this place a second chance (no angry neighbor this time), and I was glad I did! PARKING: There's street parking around the neighborhood - I parked on Almond Ave so I wasn't in front of a house. The spots right outside the shop were 30 minute only. If you can't find parking there's probably tons as you go east if you're willing to walk. WHAT I ORDERED: Pistachio cream cold brew THE DRINK: Amazing. I've had my share of acidic or bitter cold brews, and this was not one of them. The cream was perfectly sweetened and flavored . SERVICE: Exceeded my expectations. The baristas when I came in were very bubbly and answered my questions and gave me suggestions, and were funny too! I wish I got their names, but they were working on Monday early afternoon - I hope they get some recognition. We also got some samples of the food items (which may have swayed me to get the turkey panini next time I come in). Even with the experience I had above a while back ago, I remember going in to let the baristas know and they were very understanding and apologetic, which I really appreciated. VIBES: Probably one of the top coffee shops to get work done in OC. Here's my work-from-coffee-shop checklist: * OUTLETS: So many. Not at the tables downstairs but in the private rooms and at a lot of the seating upstairs. * WIFI/INTERNET: Yes, good speed * BATHROOMS: Yes, clean * WATER: You can ask for free water * VOLUME: Music was a little bit loud but not terrible * SEATING AVAILABILITY: Lotsssss of seats when I came on a Monday late morning-afternoon. Very cool that there were private rooms (which can be reserved two hours in advance if you call them), tables, bar-style seating upstairs, and most importantly, comfy couches!! * LAPTOP FRIENDLINESS: No restrictions BOTTOM LINE: I can't believe I almost missed out on this gem. I'll be back soon!

Food/Drinks: matcha…read morelatte - not the richest matcha taste or quality and when i got it with oat milk, the oat milk flavor ended up overpowering the matcha a bit. although, it wasn't bad it was still decent to sip on while working! iced caramel macchiato - on the sweeter end of drinks and if you get oat milk it will overpower the taste a bit but still a decent drink banana cream matcha latte - has the creamy texture from the banana cream and surprisingly the banana didn't have a strong artificial banana taste. to me, that's a little rare and in a good way. the matcha isn't a strong matcha taste but still present avocado toast with egg - it was plated and presented nicely which i was kinda surprised about. it tasted decent. the bread is on the softer/soggier end rather than the crispy and toasted end. the sauce and radish overpowers the taste. i got a runny sunny side egg and it was a nice addition for me. service: this spot has one of the nicest helpful service. i was here for a few hours working and despite shift changes, each new staff who was working were so nice and helpful! ambiance: it's such a bright and spacious spot with a few study rooms and many seating. it's bright and has a cozy wooden feel. i love that there are many outlets and it's not overcrowded or too loud. it was the perfect spot to work at!
