"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."

Jamila Juice

"My view is based on the outstanding service I received, Jessica and Anas provided over the top customer service, they were very friendly, they treated me like family, made me feel very welcome and I will definitely be came. I experienced other juice places, but none was like this juice place, they will see me everyday.... This message is from Boyd to you Jessica and Anas."

Fruitthies

★★★★★ 4.6 (249) • $$

"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."

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"

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."

602 Coffee House

★★★★★ 4.5 (138) • $

"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!"

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."

Earthbar

★★★★★ 4.6 (103) • $$

"Flax machine is a not-very-sweet but delicious smoothie. A little pricey at $13 so it's a rare treat. Hubby didn't like it very much though, said it taste too protein powdery. The service was wonderful though. Nice, young lady who made it a point to spell my name correctly even though I usually don't bother. Also gave us the extra smoothie in a separate small cup, which was a perfect healthy snack for my little toddler (I wasn't going to share mine :P). Definitely will come back when in the area."

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."

Açai Republic

★★★★☆ 4.4 (81)

"Can we all agree that açaí bowls = life? Açaí Republic serves up easy, reliable, no fuss bowls. The Tahiti is a popular option with an açaí blend, strawberries, blueberries, bananas, and granola.And for bonus points, they also serve savory Brazilian pastry treats, if you need a little savory to balance your sweet. Happy to have an Açaí Republic closer to me now!"

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!"

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!"

Thrive Juice Lab

★★★★★ 5 (13)

"Tuesday morning around 10am. Super clean. Very chic little juice bar. They have a great selection of fresh juice and smoothies. The girl that helped me explained my millions of questions. Ordered: blue Laguna - If you don't like ginger. Don't get it. But if you do and need something after a hard leg day!! Apparently this is the it drink! I thought it tasted delicious and didn't have a nasty protein after taste. Which most places have. Definitely will go back for a juice. Also like they have special drinks for kids my toddler would love. MOM APPROVED"

Bondi Bowls

★★★★☆ 4.2 (14)

"Where do I even begin with Bondi Bowls? You're an absolute lifesaver! After being turned away from countless other restaurants in the area, Bondi welcomed us with open arms--and introduced us to the delightful and somewhat healthy delicacy known as açaí!We opted for a small custom bowl with the basics: strawberries, granola, and nuts. At around $12, it's a bit on the pricier side, but the granola base was incredibly flavorful and well-balanced. The portion size was generous enough to share between two people, and the fresh banana and strawberry toppings paired beautifully with the crunchy nuts and granola.And let's not forget the ambiance! The cute pink interior created a welcoming vibe, and the sparkling-clean restrooms deserve special recognition--something I've rarely encountered at a restaurant. Truly impressive!From the excellent customer service to the delicious food, Bondi Bowls has it all. If you're looking for a go-to açaí spot, this is the one you'll want to keep coming back to. What's not to love?"

Grace Bowls

★★★★☆ 3.7 (11)

"Decided to try this place out since it's relatively new to Flight. I got the Power Bowl with chicken, quinoa, and kale and it is soo good!! Also such a healthy and light option! Although portion size is large, I felt good after I ate most of it! :)"

Milk & Honey

★★★★☆ 3.9 • $$

"That oat milk lavender tea is the goat!!!!Gosh the Lavender Oatmilk tea is so refreshing! It is way better than it has any right to be! Like how is this drink so good?!?! It's delicious. 10/10I have ordered two different smoothies from Milk & Honey now. The smoothies are really good. The mango was probably my favorite! I ordered the Wild Berry the other day and that was good too. I did not like the raspberry seeds in the drink though. That is my only complaint about that smoothie. Otherwise very tasty and healthy."
