"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."

Leaf N Cream

★★★★☆ 4.1 (908) • $$

"A very cute and modern boba shop in Tustin with specialty drinks and even acai bowls! They have Wi-Fi and a few tables where you can enjoy your boba or do work. I was stuck picking a drink because everything looked so good, but I got the Rose Vanilla Milk Tea and would 100% get this again. It was the perfect sweetness, and the custard pudding was the icing on the cake, which made the drink amazing. I got the drink with 75% sweetness but would get 50% next time. Parking was easy, and there were plenty of available spots. I would come back and recommend this place to anyone."

Birdie Bowl & Juicery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (554) • $$

"Located within the food/retail hall at SOCO. Order at the register and they call your name when ready. Then you either take it to go or go find some random seating throughout the center. Fast and friendly service.Bowl and smoothie offerings. As of Nov 2023, you can check in on Yelp for 5% off your order. We got a smoothie and they allowed for substitutions, as my wife hates bananas. Very refreshing and good sized smoothies! One size only - 24 ounces. Açaí or pitaya base (pitaya is a bit extra). Cost around $11 with tax and small tip included for the most basic smoothie. The more complex the smoothie and the more add-ons can really jack up the price fast."

602 Coffee House

★★★★★ 4.5 (384) • $

"602 is my FAVORITE coffee spot in Huntington - which says a lot because there a million different options. Not only is the coffee delicious (and nonfat lattes are the BEST ever), but the team that works there is SO nice. I was thrown off a few times being the jaded New Yorker that I am when the person taking my order asked, "So what are you up to today, any fun plans?" At first I didn't say anything, assuming they were talking to a colleague before it hit me that they're just NICE people. The açai bowls are fresh and delicious, I genuinely look forward to them every time I'm in California. They'll put a lid on them too in case you want to take them to go, which we always opt for, then walk to the pier and have coffee and bowls by the pier watching the surfers. The location, the people, the price for value, and the vibe is just amazing - plus, they have outdoor seating with beach views too if you want to just hang instead of walking anywhere! I hadn't been here in about 5 years and it was just as good as I remembered - even better."

Alohana Acai Bowls & Coffee

"I should have ordered a smoothie like the rest of my family, but decided to order a juice so I went with the spinach storm. I immediately regretted my choice as soon as I took a sip. It was the most bitter tasting green juice I've ever had. I've had gnarly tasting green juice before but this was not drinkable at all. I had a couple others in my group taste it to make sure it wasn't just me and they agreed it was beyond bitter. I asked the employee if it was supposed to taste like that and she just said it depends on what they use like the cucumbers. Even though service was decent, I wish they would have offered to adjust or make something else for me. I tried adding orange juice when I got home but it didn't help at all. $8 down the drain."

Nekter Juice Bar

★★★★☆ 3.7 (367) • $$

"Nekter Juice Bar is my go-to spot, and my favorite smoothie is the Strawberry Banana Protein Smoothie with almond butter added in. I opt for the vanilla whey protein, which makes it even more delicious. The strawberry chia jam adds the perfect touch, and with my customizations, it feels like I'm drinking a strawberry almond butter jelly sandwich! The ambiance is great, and I love stopping by after a workout for a healthy sweet treat. The service is usually quick, though it can slow down a bit when they're busy with online orders."

Better Buzz Coffee

★★★★☆ 4 (307)

"Iced Matcha Latte 9.34/10- I've been dying to try this place for so long, especially after hearing such amazing things about their matcha, so I was super excited when they finally opened a location in Orange County! This definitely lived up to all the hype - they nailed the perfect ratio of matcha to almond milk and I loved how sweet it was without being overwhelming (it literally tasted like ice cream to me which was incredible). The matcha powder they used was so high quality that I actually had to ask what brand it was. The service was fantastic too - they had my drink ready within 2 minutes! Finally having a location nearby is honestly dangerous because I know I'll be coming here a lot more. Definitely a bit more on the expensive side though. Instagram: @hungrytamale"

Blue Bowl Superfoods

★★★★★ 4.6 (227) • $$

"I love Blue Bowl!! The small size açaí bowl is more than enough as a lunch meal especially with the unlimited toppings. The blue chia seed pudding is also delicious. You order at the counter and walk across the bar letting the staff know which bases, fruits, and other toppings you want. They'll help with any suggestions or recommendations. There's inside and outside seating."

Nekter Juice Bar

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (462) • $$

"I ordered the Toxin Flush and Pink Flamingo last night since I had a BOGO free coupon. I was very happy with both drinks and I would order them again! My review is 4 stars because the employees never announced my order was ready, so I was sitting in the shop for almost 20 minutes wondering where my drinks were."

Amazonia Bowl

★★★★★ 4.9 (187) • $$

"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."

Cyrano's Caffe

★★★★☆ 4 (256) • $$

"Excellent little spot here an Chapman Ave, OC. Seating inside is very limited, but there is also outside seating available with umbrellas for shade.Good customer service, all the ladys serving and taking our orders were very kind and friendly. Once you go in, you go the cashier and order, then you find a seat and they'll bring the food to you.The food was really good. I had the California Omelette, and it tasted fresh and it was full of flavor. They have a good variety on drinks and on food choices. Ambiance inside the restaurant was nice, not too quite, not too noisy. It was a good experience here. We were a party of 3, we could talk without having to yell. Parking can be a bit hectic. Small parking and there are other shops around. We parked by the main shopping area and walked to the restaurant, 2 minute walk."

Pressed Juicery

★★★★☆ 3.9 (216) • $$

"Years later, I find myself still coming here to enjoy the freeze. Still just as great as years ago, and a yummy guilt-free dessert/treat. The chocolate freeze is the best flavor wise. They have a bunch of other things as well, juices, smoothies, acai bowls and even salads. The large size of the freeze is perfect to share, and it is $8.50. I love it with gummy bears, almond slices and berries! 3 toppings are included."

"This is literally my favorite coffee spot right now and I have been here multiple times. I always order 2 drinks so it can last me a few days. I love the coconut caramel latte and the caramel macchiato. I always thought Starbucks had the best caramel macch but this place tops it and is actually better!!! These 2 drink are my favorite and I am obsessed with this place. I am so happy it is close to work and I didn't know they give discounts if you work in the medical field!!!! I am so happy they do that and I can't wait to go back!"

Pressed Juicery

★★★★☆ 3.6 (200) • $

"Bless the staff here who often seem to be working shifts by themselves when there's a line out the door. Pressed will always be one of my go tos when I want a little sweet treat without completely splurging. The freezes are all so tasty. The vanilla one is my favorite as I'm a huge fan of the way they sweeten it with dates. But recently I tried this peppermint freeze I saw on TikTok and it was so yummy! Highly recommend before it's out of season."

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."

Nekter Juice Bar

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (184) • $$

"Needed a refreshing drink and this was one of the nearest juice bars. I'm a smoothie king type of girl but this was an excellent substitute! I ordered for pick up online via their website which was cheaper than DoorDash.I'm a very specific person so the make your own smoothie option was great. I did a fruit smoothie of pineapples, mango, strawberries and blueberries with apple juice and an immune booster shot. It was delicious. I wasn't sure how the apple juice would taste but it worked well. When I arrived there wasn't anywhere in the store. The person came from the back promptly and gave me my smoothie."

Freddy’s Deli

★★★★★ 5 (68) • $$

"Freddy's Delis is certainly a 5+ Star establishment. The "plus" is a nod to Freddy being friendly and appears to remember the names of his returning clients. It kind of gives off a Cheers vibe, where everyone knows your name. Freddy's Deli is a small kiosk embedded inside a business building and most of his customer inside this office is enough to keep him busy. The sandwich is set up like a bar - see the stools you can eat at the counter or four small tables along the wall. Unless you know this café, it's hidden from street and certainly not widely advertise. Once you walk in, you're see small tables and turn the corner to see the counter. The menu is small with weekly specials. I stopped by for late lunch and wanted something light, Freddy was working alongside his cooks. He's made me a grilled cheese and gave me a free coup on the side. If you're looking for a place with not just great sandwiches, but even greater people - cooks are very interactive, look no further than Freddy's Deli! Freddy himself makes sure to greet you with a smile and a personal touch that makes you feel like you're a regular, even if it's your first visit, like me. It's rare to find a place where the customer service is so warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly--everyone here goes above and beyond to make you feel like a friend, not just a customer. Unless I caught them on a really good day, and only two other customers, this place sure makes you feel value. Whether you're grabbing something to go or sitting down during your lunch break, this is the place to be and to support a small business owner. I try to stop by month but after the lunch peak hours."

Golden Spoon

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (154) • $

"Really liking the updated options for fro yo in the neighborhood. I am especially happy that they added a non dairy option, I only wish it would switch flavors more. To be fair I have only been in there over the past two months and its been pink lemonade the whole time. Its overly sweet but non dairy beggars cant be choosers so I will still get it. Hoping to find a new option in the future. The place looks clean and organized and the people working there do a good job. Tip: be sure to tell them in advance if you are taking it to go to get the lid on properly."

Vita Juice

Sunbliss Cafe

★★★★★ 4.8 (60) • $$

"Sunbliss hits it out of the park for me. I've been to their original location in Anaheim, and was super excited to hear they opened this location in Newport/CDM. They ranked #23 on Yelp's Top 100 in 2025 so of course I knew I had to swing by. This trip, I picked up their toffee latte and their togarashi avocado toast and, wow!! The toffee latte was on the sweeter side and I couldn't taste much of the spirulina, but overall as a drink it was good! The toast though was SO tasty! The avocados were fresh and creamy, the sauce that came with it complimented the flavors, and overall it was satisfying. The workers there are super friendly and drinks come out fairly quick. It is a smaller shop, so there's not a ton of seating indoor and outdoors. This definitely is more of a grab and go spot. Parking is tricky here because most of it is street parking. There's two spots behind their business that are dedicated parking spots for them. Definitely get why their business made it on Yelp's Top 100 list."

Acai Republic - Costa Mesa

★★★★★ 4.6 (62) • $

"This place is fantastic. Every time I am craving something fresh, light, and healthy--açaí bowls are my fave and this one is super yummy. This location is a bit smaller and it faces Newport Ave (you will have to park on the side or behind and walk to the front), but inside was very clean and enjoyable to enjoy our food. The service here was vey very good--the workers informed us of the app special--which saved us 50% of our total order--which was super nice of them to let us know before we ordered. The first time I tried some of their pastries. We tried the ham & cheese empanada and the cheese balls. These were both good, but a little stale--I would imagine since it was later in the night, they weren't as fresh, but still pretty good. The bowls were outstanding. The frozen base is so good along with the fresh fruit on top is just great. You can tell their produce is very ripe and fresh! I recommend the medium as it's pretty filling. Overall, the great service and bowls would have me coming back here!"

Earth Bowl Superfoods

★★★★★ 4.5 (64)

"Discovered this açaí bowl spot during my lunch break at Irvine Spectrum Mall. It's located right by Wahoos. Liked the variety of bases to choose from. What was different here vs other places, was the base had a froze consistency. You can sample them before deciding to choose, and can also mix and match. I really liked the match and blue majic base. As for toppings, they had 2 different chia puddings, different flavored oats, granolas, nuts and much more.If you're not into bowls, there were a couple of smoothie toppings to choose from. The staff was super nice and friendly. The facility was pretty clean and I was happy to see staff being put fresh toppings around lunch time."

Alohana Acai Bowls & Coffee

★★★★☆ 4.4 (61)

"Alohana Acai is tasty, and the service is good too! I was worried because other reviews said their food took awhile to come out, but I may have gone at a good time because it was very quick. The smoothie with mangos in it is really good (it's like the second down on the menu), I'd probably come back just for that alone. I also ordered the bowl with coconut, blueberries, strawberries, granola, banana, and acai. It was really tasty, and the grom size was a good portion. Next time I will probably size up though because it was $10.50 for the small size and I think only about $1 more for the larger size."

KRISP Fresh Living

★★★★★ 4.6 (46)

"I went to this place on a Monday around 11:30am and was the only person there. I got:- iced sea salt jasmine - good, very strong floral tea- hot blueberry matcha, less sweet - loved! Flavoring was like the milk after a fruity cereal lol- breakfast burrito - not bad. It had bacon, tots, eggs, cheese. The eggs are cooked flat and rolled in, but they were overcooked and made the burrito a bit tough. I'd have preferred scrambled eggsThe seating is a bit sparse and quite intimate bc the shop is small, so I probably wouldn't recommend this place for studying/working. Service was friendly and they were quick, so I'd come back for the drinks though!"
