The guys who were here are so sweet! I didnt mind paying almost $7 for a drink (which was really good but still pretty steep for the tiramisu latte) because my experience with them was so pleasant. They close late and have a good amount of outlets here too so its great to work at for a while. Parking was easy too because theres a parking lot in the plaza the cafe is in. Ill definitely be back!

This is the 3rd The Lost Bean store Ive visited. Located inside the Woodbridge village center with plenty of sittings available and free wifi. In addition to the usual breakfast sandwich and flat white which I normally order from the other Lost Bean store, this time also tried their chia pudding as well. Everything is good and consistent. Likely to come back again and recommend others as well.

I was very impressed with this coffee shop. They have the best coffees that really satisfy and fit your taste. Everything they served was delicious. The crews were happy and nice to serve me as their avid customer. The place was perfect for dates and study outs. I’ll always appreciate their kindness and authenticity. Thank you so much!

The coffee was delicious. Tried the iced Lapaz and a hot latte with almond milk. Lapaz has caramelized sugar so it on the sweeter side. The latte had a nice roast to it. The vegan trail mix bar was tasty with a good texture to it and the date gives a soft sweetness to it.

Was waiting for a ride home, decided to grab some coffee. Sorta crowded but I mean, its a nice coffee shop ☺, of course therell be people with their laptops . Variety of drinks!! I went with a basic ice vanilla latte. Had it done in a minute or two. I also got a pastry. Its my first time here, so I couldnt really decide what I wanted. I finally chose the Oat Bar and it was DELICIOUS! Went well with my drink. I was in a rush so I didnt have time to admire the atmosphere of the coffee shop. But will be back again !!

Fantastic shop for coffee! My husband and I have had the opportunity to explore what we need for our future. This coffee shop atmosphere has been a tremendous help. They were impressive with their quiet and green decor. It makes us feel that they werent in town, somewhere refreshing in the garden. Thank you so much for the friendly workers that welcomed us. Nice way! Good way!

Love the vibe! Location is fantastic - grab your cup of preferred coffee/tea/green drink (green goddess is my fav!) And enjoy the surroundings of the Woodbridge Village Center and view of the North lake. Very relaxing. The food is also delicious - we tend to stay light - the avocado toast (sharable) or the veggie wrap are our go-tos. Either way, great service, place and location! Tip: If you are in a hurry - order on line and pick up.

Delicious coffee and yummy healthful food options as well as treats! I watched the batista prepare my drink and she was very mindful in her preparation and it showed in the end product! Friendly service and a lovely patio for sitting and eating with friends and dogs!!

If you are looking for a coffee shop and a delicious cake, this is the place to be! It offers free wifi and also has a smoking facility inside the venue. The staff/waiters are always very accommodating and bubbly. The coffee was on point, and the food was excellent. It is well priced and a nice ambiance. I highly recommend this place!

I get Green Goddess juice with lemon and ginger. Donna always makes for me a perfect blend with lots of love.My mom likes to get a coffee here, and my friend said their Chai Latte was divine. Come check it out. 👌

Great food & beverage BUT they gotta figure a way to keep young people from hogging all the tables nursing one drink -- maybe! -- while they work on their laptops. I and many others just walk out when we survey this scene.

Needed some coffee this afternoon so searched for an organic coffee place and found this little spot. It seems like the place to be if you want to use your laptop computer as almost every single table was taken by people computing. I tried their latte and the coffee was really really good! This also seems like a good spot to go if you have kids as it is right next the the kids playground. I would come back for more coffee here and would recommend their coffee. I also like that the coffee is organic!

Coffee is exceptional, they use their own roast, service is friendly, place is cozy, but they need to provide better barista training, coffee will arrive beautiful more often :). They are getting better every time I am coming :))) which is every day as I drop my child at camp and go to have some coffee and some work done

It was my first time here ever. Good coffee and decent food. Its a cute coffee place that I thought was tucked away in a relatively busy place. It was busy when I came in but I was still able to find a place to sit. Atmosphere seems good and all the workers were nice. I would come here again if Im in the area.

I am so grateful to this place for existing. BEST soy latte, and guys, their bathrooms are open. This is a big freaking deal in COVID times. Not many cafes have plenty of outdoor seating with good WiFi AND an open bathroom. AND great coffee and pastries. This is my go-to destination when I need a place to get some work done with a great latte.

I’m giving 3 stars because it’s a nice coffee place and at a nice location but I got disappointed with their chai tea the three times I tried it.

We had the La Paz and the Caramel Macchiato. I know so many flavors would overshadow the coffee but honestly the coffee was just meh. More like starbucks.

Great little coffee shop. I originally visited the location in Tustin and Im happy to see that theyve expanded.I usually get regular coffee or the Monkey mocha, but this time around I tried the better than bulletproof and it was quite interesting. I didnt know what it was at all so I cant blame them, but it isnt a drink for everybody.It felt like a meal, I think it had butter. At the end of the day, it was a good drink, just a bit pricey for what it is and a little bit of a shock if youre not expecting it.The only other thing is that the staff seems to get a little bit overwhelmed when theres a long line. I think they can relax a little and just work through the line without stressing out. Were good, were not at Starbucks. Take your time and delight us with great drinks.

Easily one of my favorite spots to get work done. If you order a tea, they prepare it with loose leaf tea, and provide a free additional steep if youd like. Not a bad spot to hang out, but most of the people here seem to be getting work done. Dimly lit so if youre not next to a lamp, I could see it being difficult to read if youre bringing a book here in the evening.Employees are friendly as well.

Needed a spot for work and great coffee while on vacation, and I love it. Been located in a great neighborhood and you can walk by the lake before or after the awesome coffee. Inside is large enough for hang out, work, or just sit and read/think. The staff is very welcoming and nice. Latte and blueberry scone were perfect.

BULLETPROOF IS AMAZING HERE. I always call for pick up. And I love that its just $5 and not $4.65 or $5.65 or something like that. Makes it easier to pay/get change if Im using cash.I will say it is always crowded here. And the bathroom key situation is sometimes confusing... but other than that. Awesome atmosphere.

Food is limited and I believe is more or less a cafe boulange (sp?) but the wine, beer and live music is excellent. Also great to sit outside on a nice day.

I am new to the Irvine area and I was very concerned I would not find a coffee shop that opens earlier than 7am ... Well, I yelped this place and voila just down the street from where I live and they open up at 6am . Oh yes !Donna and her team serve their coffee with love which makes it all the best . I order my usual lavendar latte with oatmilk. Yummy !

Review №47

Good coffee, but the service is awful. I saw the kitchen put what I figured was my order on the back counter and a girl looked at it multiple times but did nothing. After a few minutes with nothing happening I asked if it was mine - sure enough it was mine, but the guy working said “oh he called you already...” even though I was standing next to the barista holding my number the whole time. The correct answer is “I’m sorry, here you go”Get it together, and remember that the customer is always right, Lost Bean. Business 101

It was my first visit and it was like Ive served by a new trainee so may have to update sometime later. It was like quality bean served by untrained barista. I ordered a cortado but is was more than a cappuccino. Bean was freshly roasted and had its flavor. Location is great and has enough seat and table. Atmosphere is cozy and the neighborhood is great.Bean 4Roast 4Barista 2.5Service 4Location 4Taste Consistency N/AAtmosphere 4.5Seats Availability 4

I am a big fan of the original location in Tustin! This one has the same quality of drinks, which is wonderful. At the same time, they have tastefully changed from the laid back, rustic ambience of Tustin to the hip joint, more in line with the Woodbridge, Irvine vibe. Overall, I am so glad they are expanding :)

To compare to Starbucks, Starbucks is like Sizzler Steakhouse and The Lost Bean is like Mortons or Houstons Steakhouse.. and is less expensive
