"I'd tell you a joke about macadamias, but you'll think I'm nuts.Nice clean spot with plenty of parking. Staff is helpful and patient. White macadamia oat was very good and not too sweet. I think it's better than the ones in Hawaii because you can actually taste the macadamia! Will return to try their Matcha Series."

Aloha Stacks

★★★★☆ 4.2 (846) • $$

"I came here a few days ago with some friends. They opted to try this place as they don't have this where they're from. We went around 10, and there was no line. I've been here on the weekends and it's pretty packed. There was a line out the door. We ordered pretty fast. And the food came out about 15 minutes later. I got the eggs Benedict which was pretty good. My friend's got the breakfast tots which were crunchy and delicious. My other friend got the spicy chicken waffles. The chicken wasn't that spicy. All in all it was very delicious!"

Kitchen in the Canyon

★★★★★ 4.5 (572) • $$

"Came here with a few friends after a hike at Alisio Viejo and man did it hit the spot! From the crispy outside and soft center of their sweet potato waffle fries, and their variety of drink options, it is nothing short of amazing. This place is tucked away in the valley, and has a small hometown feel! The service was superb, our meals came out in a timely manner and the cashier was helpful in helping us decide what to get. I will absolutely be returning once I'm in the area again!"

Newport Coffee

★★★★☆ 4.3 (572) • $$

"The best Sundays include a combination of the Newport Beach Farmers Market and Newport Coffee.This local farmers market has easily become a weekly tradition. It sits pier side every Sunday in Newport from 9am-2pm. I love to start the morning with a drink from Newport Coffee, browse local produce, and a beach walk. My most recent drink order was a hazelnut latte with oat milk. Their coffee is served strong and not over powered by milk and flavoring. The inside has a few seats available, but this cafe is really meant for to-go orders. They also have a wide assortment of beautiful baked goods. Sadly I haven't tried any yet, but the orange cranberry muffin has been calling my name.There's a large paid parking lot nearby, making it really easy to snag a spot."

Esther's Place

★★★★★ 4.7 (465) • $

"I work at a school in Westminster, and I am always looking for different local businesses to try. When lunchtime approaches, my coworker and I are often stumped when deciding what to try. She mentioned Esther's Place as she had eaten there a few times with another colleague. I am always up for a good sandwich, so we agreed on this restaurant for lunch.My coworker picked up the food and brought it back. She mentioned to the owner that I had not yet eaten at this place. The owner was so sweet and gave a complimentary cup of soup since I was a brand new customer. Gotta love small businesses who show appreciation for new patrons!I had the chicken salad on wheat bread, and a vegetable soup which was perfectly hot on this cool, crispy day. The vegetable soup was flavorful and I did not feel like I was missing a protein. It had potatoes, celery, and carrots, perfectly cooked. Broth was tasty, would definitely purchase this in the future. The chicken salad was fresh and light, not lost in mayonnaise. The bread was fresh as well, and the vegetables offered a nice crunch to the sandwich.Esther's Place uses quality ingredients to deliver a quality dining experience. Will definitely be adding this spot to our lunchtime rotation. Thank you!"

Van Dyke Coffee Roasters

★★★★☆ 4.3 (527) • $$

"The location of this place is just across the Fullerton Municipal Airport. I walked in to a very casual atmosphere and a friendly greeting. It looks like a good place to sit and watch the plane land and take off. Unfortunately, there was absolutely no activity during my visit. I found the place on Yelp and wanted to try the blueberry scone, but it looks like I arrived too late. They said they're already out for the day. I opted for the corn cheese scone since it's not a common item. I bit into it and it crumbled very softly and started to melt in my mouth. They did a great job. The year of the corn is there for sure and I taste it. However, it was difficult to taste the cheese even though I see the melted cheese. I think I would have loved having small bacon bits in this thing.I visited the roastery on the side. They were actually roasting on site. Best way to get the freshest coffee in town.I will definitely come back when I'm in the area."

Sejuiced Organic Juice Bar

★★★★★ 4.7 (414) • $$

"Best açaí bowls in OC. And yes there are a lot of options and I have tried probably the majority to say I prefer Sejuiced. Staff here is lovely too."

Kawaii Boba Teahouse

★★★★☆ 4.3 (414) • $$

"This review is long over due because my BF snd I have been frequenting this place for the last 10 months or so and the staff is great and the drinks are super yummy. We like the varieties of tea, milk tea and other dessert like drinks for our kids. Just needed to give a shout out to this awesome place, its always clean, comfy sofa and ample seating makes it a good place to hang out when waiting and they also have board games to play. We usually get the Thai Limeade No Sugar even though my BF has tastebuds of steele (lol) usually 25% sugar is good for this one and the Rose tea, passion fruit, and peach orange teas need NO Sugar so this place makes delicious drinks that are perfect for keeping on track with healthy options even when we want to splurge. Stop in for a yummy tea and see what's new, it usually smells like fresh baked waffles that they sell filled with chocolate or matcha too"

"Nice little shop tucked in a small plaza. The epitome of a "hidden gem". Courteous workers and good food."

Choco Fruit

★★★★☆ 4.3 (388) • $

"This crepe/ dessert spot is located inside the restaurant. Our crepe was made fresh and it was delicious. My only issue is that we did not want ice cream. However u get charged the same place with or without ice cream. We ordered the cookie butter and white/ milk chocolate without ice cream. The ice cream couldn't be substituted. Prices are reasonable. Portion is average."

Station Donuts

★★★★★ 4.5 (352) • $

"For at least four years now, Station Donuts has replaced cake and most other treats at every birthday party and celebration our family puts together. Our guests simply do not want anything but these donuts. Whether I order a couple months or a week in advance, Susan is usually able to and more than happy to accommodate our requests. We love supporting small businesses who give back to the community, are consistently friendly and helpful, and have an amazing product. We have so many friends who order from them now who live 10 or more miles away. They are worth the trip, and every penny."

Mother's Market & Kitchen

"Excellent customer service everyone here is always so friendly and helpful. They took forever to make my green juice and compensated it for me which was nice"

Black Market Meal Prep

★★★★★ 4.7 (314) • $$

"This place is a gold mine ALL ORGANIC produce. My favorite meal prep restaurant. You can order hot or cold meals and it doesn't need to be meal preps. They have burgers, bowls salads you name it! I love how many variations you can make with all of the ingredients they have. Love how vegan friendly they are. Perfect for tracking macros and reaching your body goals. The sauces are delicious. Rewards program is really cool too. It's like a candy shop for people who want to eat a healthy and balanced diet. Only thing I'm sad about is the extensive plastic use/waste. I asked if I can bring my own Tupperware's they said no because of food inspection which I understand. Hey I tried lol. I really don't like using and discarding all this plastic. Not a deal breaker--but something to improve for the environment."

SoCal Wings

★★★★★ 4.5 (273) • $$

"These are seriously the best wings I have ever had in my life! They are big juicy and cooked to perfection! The corn fritters are good just not outstanding. I also got the zucchini which was a generous portion and pretty tasty! The staff are very friendly and helpful, suggesting what they would like and think is best! The restaurant is on the small side but is comfortable and clean, highly recommend this place if you like chicken wings!"

Sunright Tea Studio

★★★★☆ 4.3 (292) • $$

"This is my second time ordering from sunright tea studio. The first time I ordered from this tea studio, I went with the sun right drink. That drink was very fruity and delicious, but this time I was looking for a different flavor.This time I ordered the Thai milk tea with oat milk and black Boba. I normally love Thai tea drinks, so I thought I'd give this one a try. The Thai flavor was really smooth, and it went really well with the oat milk. I enjoyed the black Boba inside the drink. Overall, I enjoyed this drink more than the sun right fruit tea. I would order the Thai milk tea again. 10/10Thai milk tea Oat milkBlack boba"

Hong Kong Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (282) • $$

"We've been to this Hong Kong cuisine many times and this place has the most authentic Hong Kong food. It's perfect to have my hometown comfort food on a rainy day. My friend and I ordered from the lunch special menu. (Lunch Special only $14.99 and they have 6 choices and it's served with a drink, is from 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m.) I ordered the Hot & Spicy Beef Tripe & Tendon Rice Platter and my friend ordered BBQ Pork Fried Rice. The lunch specials come with a drink and you can choose green tea, black tea, Thai tea, Grass Jelly drink, chrysanthemum tea, lemon tea, milk tea, coffee, or HK-style coffee and milk tea mix. Both of us picked a Grass Jelly drink. The portions of the food were big. The Hot & Spicy beef tripe & tendon rice platter was flavorful but not too spicy. It had a good amount of beef tripe & tendon. The BBQ Pork fried rice was also delicious and flavorful. They now have a "Enjoy a lovely meal" challenge, when you complete one of the tasks (post a photo or write a review on social media) then you can get a free Pineapple Bun Keychain (Valued at $8.99)! The Pineapple Bun Keychain looks very cute but it's only limited to one per table."

Caribbean Juice & Mexican Food

★★★★☆ 3.9 (327) • $

"Consistently solid 5 stars. $13ish Loaded carne asada fries and nachos to split is typically my go to move. My Mom always gets their $11 burritos but for $2 more and the joy of messiness...I'll stick to my lane. They've always offered water cups in the past but this time the woman said only bottled water in the fridges were available. I bought a canned drink and she gave me a styrofoam cup so I could share with my son who has a habit of backwashing and I don't typically share with him. (Sorry my dude for putting you on blast.) $0.99 can of Arnold Palmer is $1.75 here but I've never seen it anywhere and prices are what they are. Sometimes we get the juices too which are delicious but I just had a Bux wellness tea a hour before.All in all great spot. It's typically always busy or a steady flow of picking up / to go. I went at noon on Sunday and it was just 4 patrons in that hour. I hope they thrive in 2025 as I'll definitely be back!"

Boba Flip

★★★★★ 4.8 (208) • $$

"The first time I tried this place was last year when they first opened up and the owner was very welcoming. My second visit was just earlier today and the staff member working the front was super welcoming and provided exceptional service.I've had their Thai Tea Swirl, Hokkaido Milk Tea, and Assam Black Milk Tea. All drinks exceeded expectations and the boba had a great texture; not too soft and not too firm either. It's not your typical boba shop with premium teas and signature drinks but still way better than Ding Tea for example. This mom & pop boba shop was well needed in the Fullerton/Brea area. Come get your drinks here and you won't be disappointed!"

AHI Hawaiian BBQ

Amazonia Bowl

"Today was my first visit to Amazonia Bowl and it did not disappoint. I ordered a custom açaí bowl and there were so many choices. I ended up doing a base of açaí, honey granola, bananas, strawberries, blueberries and sweeter with honey. It was so good. There were lots of toppings and all fresh and delicious.The store is located on Main and has free WiFi.The service was quick and friendly.The store is cozy inside with tables and a cozy couch to enjoy your food.I would definitely recommend this store and can't wait to return."

Chewie & Mellow

★★★★★ 4.6 (206) • $$

"Finally tried the dessert shop that I'd seen ALL over social media!Chewie & Mellow in Irvine is literally decked out to the NINES and their branding is on point. the tofu pudding in the sweet tofu mango drink was so silky & mango-y, and the dark cherry slush that came highly recommended by the staff was OH SO good. And it automatically comes with tea jelly + konjac jelly!I'm a sucker for anything taro, and their sweet purple bliss bowl is a literal bucket of happiness.Thanks for reading! ^-^"

Kalefornia Love LA

★★★★★ 4.7 (189) • $$

"Located on Whittier Boulevard, in what's becoming a health trifecta of sorts (The Bee Hive, Crossfit training and Kalefornia Love are all situated within minutes of each other) this establishment brings together community, food, wellness and convenience in a nice package, with several anecdotal references to Los Angeles urban culture strewn about. It's like as if a juicer and Born X Raised brand, had a baby.I often visit after a workout and I'm thrilled to consume a healthy and fulfilling meal as to not derail what I just put into at the gym.The salads are fresh and served with ample dressing, and the juices are robust with flavor. Service is super friendly and accommodating.I usually call in my order and the food is ready within a reasonable time - not as quick as fast food, but not as long as a sit down restaurant. A comfortable in between, so call ahead if in a rush.The staff, maybe owner, appears invested in healthy eating which elevates my trust in the ingredients of the menu offerings. They also appear to have prepackaged meals and keto-friendly desserts available for carry out.Hope to see them again tomorrow!"

"This delicious drink makes my taste buds have a mouthwatering explosion hahaha sorry if it's too graphic.. it is honestly such a yummy drink the whole combination is delicious.

BagelNow!

★★★★★ 4.5 (166) • $

"Delicious! Cute little bagel shop. They have little seating inside and two tables outside. I ordered the BagelNow Signature on an everything bagel and it was so good. They are generous with the fillings! Bagel had a nice crust and good texture inside. They are so affordable too. I have never seen a lox bagel sandwich anywhere for less than $15.. def trying that next time I come. Workers were nice and very efficient I didn't have to wait long even though the shop was busy.Edit: I got to try the Lox City bagel and their fresh squeezed orange juice and they're both so good! The bagel was super filling even tho at first glance I thought it could use more lox, I was wrong lol the amount of toppings was perfect. And orange juice was fresh and delicious."

"I stumbled upon this place and glad I found it. I ordered the Italian and mushroom soup. I loved the Italian--bread was nicely toasted and fillings were generous. Mushroom soup was yummy although I was disappointed that there weren't big mushroom pieces. Overall I rate this place high. The store is tiny with no inside seating. I enjoyed my dinner in my car in the parking lot. It was my first time there and the staff there was welcoming and helpful with my ordering. I would definitely visiting again to try other items on the menu."

The lady making the sandwiches was also very friendly and polite."

Ma Juicy

★★★★☆ 4.3 (143) • $$

"I love Ma Juicy! I have been coming here since November 2024 when their Brookhurst/ Garden Grove Blvd location closed due to fire damage. This place is very unique and carries a modernized version of a drink I grew up with: pennywort or rau má in Vietnamese. The drinks are delicious and refreshing, and you can customize the ice and sugar level to your liking. Pennywort is a great medicinal herb which helps detoxify the liver, brighten your skin, help you sleep, and reduce stress. I come here almost weekly, and I feel refreshed every time!My favorite drink is the #12- pennywort juice/ube combination with coconut milk, pandan jelly, and chia seed jelly. I also like the #6- pennywort juice/mung bean with coconut milk, pandan jelly, and chia seed jelly. I have also had the P2- large 24 oz pennywort juice. They also sell wintermelon tea with chia seed jelly which is delicious as well. I would like to try their soursop and chrysanthemum tea in the future. They also have a sugar cane and fruit juice mix available. There is seating inside and it is a good place to study or catch up with friends. Stay thirsty!"

Thrive Juice Lab

★★★★★ 4.5 (119) • $$

"Thank you Thrive for your products. July 24-28th I went to comic con with my sister and came back not feeling the best. The very next day I knew I needed this. Which it HELPED immediately. The ginger is magic. With feeling so well, I knew I needed this as a pick me up in my upcoming triathlon. Well I did the thing yesterday with this on hand from my swim to bike transition. I felt good through my entire 10 miles and I didn't need water! The week prior I did a mock of the event and used my water pack during the 10. It was only okay--its where I knew during that piece of training this would fit perfectly in place in my plan. Well it did. I felt great when I hit the run and finished this after I was all done. It helped in the replenish. Leading into the weekend, I also got orange glow and radiant roots which also lead me to feeling great for race day."
