I love the quiet, calming vibe here. I found this place while I was browsing to find a place to study and spend some time doodling. It was great because they have various seating options.Theres seating inside and outside with lots of trees and greenery. Theres also a dog friendly park which is also a plus. Its hidden inside an apartment complex and finding parking close to it is kinda hard. I recommend parking inside the parking structure by the leasing office. Its free and its in a cool, shaded area.This is one of the few cafes that made my iced green tea the way I like it. Not sweet, clean and refreshing taste! So nice.One down side is that they dont have AC but they do have a fan running so thats nice. But if you stay inside and let your body temperature calm down, its actually real nice.I recommend this place if youre trying to find a nice calming location to study, catch up with friends or just chill with your paw buddy.

Truly a hidden gem in Irvine, has good coffee but the desserts are excellent I would recommend pancake burger and the chicken and waffles. The staff went above and beyond when I went there.

Amazing food, excellent service, and a to-die-for cake! I came here with my wife after hearing about it from an instructor at a neighboring off-road driving school. Wed skipped breakfast, so finding this coffee shop was a godsend. I also had the cappuccino and carrot cake, which were both amazing! Well be back!

Cutest cafe with lots of great options! My husband and I run everyday around the Park and have some drinks and breakfast at Le Cafe! A gem!

The crepes and waffles are freshly made and are delicious! Definitely worth the visit, especially if you are at the park. The staff are beyond amazing and are very friendly!I love the option that you can order half a waffle. Definitely satisfied my crave without the guilt that comes with it 😂I recommend the triple chocolate waffle and half lotus/ half Nutella crepe!

Wonderful quiet setting aside a beautiful grassed park surrounded by palms and manicured gardens. Small range of carefully selected menu items delightful breakfast tastes and a variety of artisan sandwiches with complimenting beverages of coffee, teas, sparking waters and hard seltzer’s. Highly recommend this hidden gem.

The location is beautiful thats a plus. The menu is pretty decent for a small location. If you like Latte or Coffee type drink art this is a fun choice. But note parking is awful in case you do not walk here. We ordered a few small sandwiches and smoothies that cost us over $50 for 3. The smoothies were not that great and we had to wait almost 15 min with only 2 customers. Granted there are few choices near these large Apartment complexes to eat within walking distance or even a short drive - so your choice is limited. A piece of banana cake is right around $3+ and it is not even a big piece. Not s place to go have a full meal if you have a family of 4 on somewhat of a budget. Although again the ambiance is great, scenery is pleasant, ok for a quick bite or drink (including alcohol if you want), quiet and not crowded, also clean. Dog park right in the area that is well cleaned and patrolled for the doggie owners.

Wide variety of drinks, pastrys, wines and coffees. A great place to stop by for a quick coffee and take in a really nice experience. There was some soccer games going. I tend to always get the latte, really good!

$5.36 for a medium cup of coffee - tastes burned and like it has been sitting there all day. Prices have sky rocketed in the past month, but quality remains way below average.

We stopped in here for brunch. They were packed, but were well organized so the line moved quickly. They have several cheap breakfast items and sandwiches to pick from. The staff was very attentive. I got a bagel and my husband got a chicken sandwich. They were both great.

New management. They remodeled the whole thing and it looks good now. Added more menu breakfast options like waffles and pancakes and the coffee is expensive. The nutella latte is 7.50 (Wild!). I didnt like the coffee at all. The mocha didnt taste like it had espresso. It tasted like chocolate syrup in black coffee with creamer.

I went today for first time and ordered a double cappuccino and was ok, the sandwich croissant whatever, didn’t like the bread . However all the sandwiches on the show looked terrible.I asked to charge my phone inside while I was outside and one of the girl rudely said they couldn’t charge anything over there. So I had to sit inside yes or yes.Very small coffee shop and costumers were smoking a lot of cigarettes around so you can’t breath fresh air.The chairs and tables from the outside, were all wet after the rain, so I have to clean and dry while the staff were talking on the phone outside or just chillin early in the morning.Very disappointedWas expecting a nice European style coffee shop.

New management has left Le Cafe Du Parc place a shell of what it used to be. What once was a beautiful and affordable place to grab lunch or breakfast, is now an over priced waffle shop with rude and untrained employees.

Foods decent . New menu does not seem scalable. Takes 25+ minutes for service after order. Probably won’t be back while tasty too expensive and too long to wait on the food.kids behind the counter look lost and confused. Lost track of my coffee Order..

1, staff freaked out when I walked inside the store. Theres either not a sign, or nothing large enough, or maybe I just missed it, but they only want one customer in the store at a time. As soon as I opened the door, the lady behind the counter seemed to panic and not in a friendly way told me to wait outside until the customer is done. I get thats what they want, but dont freak out. Me opening the door to walk into your store is not going to raise the risk factor to a panic level.Secondly, its pretty expensive. I bought 4 white claws and it came out to $22.

A lovely little cafe in a more European style than is common in Irvine. Come here for a quick bite and a nice drink in a relaxing atmosphere. They offer excellent pastries and a small selection of sandwiches and pizzas. Good coffees, craft beer, wine, and cocktails are all available.Indoor seating is limited, as is the parking. There is a little more parking at The Village to the east, or on the street near Westview, to the west.

We enjoy going here frequently, we go enough that they know us by name and our order. The variety is good and also serve alcohol if youre in the mood and able. The area outside is wonderful, lots of shade to sit and a really beautiful environment. The only issue I have is with the area around it, a lot of smokers that dont abide by the non smoking areas and it apparently isnt enforced either. This area isnt managed my the cafe but it does play into the experience if youre a non smoker.

I had a chai tea latte that was delicious! A little sweet, but well done with good quality ingredients. Pepperoni pizza and turkey brie sandwich was delicious as well. My only complaint is that it took so long to get our items.

Good fresh made food, decently priced. Decent selection of snacks and drinks. Beer and wine are sold here, not sure about hard drinks or when the bar is open.The cafe is next to a large park, play ground, private pool and a small dog park.

I went in for a cool drink and the girl working recommended the iced green tea with pomegranate. It was excellent and I would definitely order it again. I saw the Illys coffee menu and it looked good. Will have to try something next time. They also have pastries and other things to nosh.

A very chill spot hidden just outside all the boring industrial parks. Limited options on paninis and flatbreads but theyre all pretty good. Happy hour drink pricing.

More about the atmosphere than the food/coffee. Coffee pricier and same quality as Starbucks. Food is ok- I went with an egg and cheese croissant, and another time the turkey sandwich. Good! Not great :-)

Cute little café in my complex. staff is always very friendly. they serve coffee, tea, juice, smoothies, beer, wine, small plates (sandwiches, personal pizzas, flatbreads, pastries, cakes, muffins, bagels, etc.), pre-packaged snacks (chips, trail mixes, nuts, pretzels, etc.) and a large variety of health bars, coconut waters, protein beverages and energy drinks. its dog friendly (literally on top of a dog park) and they even have (free!) little treats for your pup while you guys wait.
