“The owners at Van Dyke are so friendly. I visited at the recommendation of a friend. It's located in a business complex, and parking is paid, but they validate. Some of the drinks are named after their regulars, which is what we ordered. I love strawberry-chocolate anything, so Spencer's was right up my alley. Inki's was really good too. There's so much room for seating, and I love the ambiance--it's so open. It was great to stay and study. We also were given a cookie on the house, which was enormous and took me days to eat (but it stayed perfectly good). We will be back!!“

“Went here to tried out the Bingsoo dessert and was not disappointed. So many versions offered. We ordered the berries Bingsoo to try. The bowl was huge. Can feed at least 3 people. Finely snowflakes typed shaved ice served with all the different berries and drizzled with condensed milk! Not overly sweet. Easy to order, scan the QR code or there is a menu at the register to pick from. Need to go back to try the pasty portion of the desserts. Indoor and outdoor tables available! Staff was very friendly!Parking: Parking is hard to find in this area since the entire squares mile is filled with various restaurants.“

Smoked Salmon Sandwich

“I am addicted to this cafe/deli since it is next to my work and so ready+accessible. the staff is so friendly and welcoming that sometimes I just want to go to talk and say hi!! the vibe is adorably small, quaint, it's sometimes packed sometimes empty but the staff are always working hard on orders. Another huge attribution to my addiction is their matcha caramel coldbrew, I had to refrain myself from posting the entirety of my vast collection of photos of coffee orders on this review. I'm a SUCKERR for sweet coffee drinks. I've never ordered a new drink here and gotten disappointed! It tastes the same every single time too. the food here is easy to pick up, for lunch i'd usually go for a sausage dog or a bento box the french toast is also an item that can be rare, but when it's available it's a MUST for a sweet treat!“

“Probably the best Chai Yep Coffe I've had in a long time! namo the owner takes his time with asking if you care to add lil or more ice. it's this will extra questions that makes the experience of ordering better. He asked me do I like extra Spice in my Chai,I said YES! Wow, delicious! Aside from the great dir is, they have food for breakfast and lunch. Such a kind man, he made me a breakfast ham burrito and Added the mild salsa as he knows I don't do spicy foods well. We laugh as I place my phone order literally within minutes of arriving. I say, a most try.Plenty of parking and definitely very affordable. The cute little tables allows you to eat outside and watch the airplanes take off. Pictures for your review“

“Don't let the address of the cafe fool you, while it says Spectrum and you may think it is a cafe in the Spectrum mall, it's just across in the nearby Parks apartment community. It is a really cute cafe with a European feel to it. I'm sure children will love it, as well as adults who crave Nutella anything. Their menu offers everything from coffee, hot chocolate, waffles, crepes, chocolate covered fruits and savory items like flat breads and a beef burger. Ordering was easy via a large iPad. The people working there were great too and were quick to give us recommendations and also tips on where to park the next time. Parking is available around the cafe and if that is full, you can park in the visitor spots inside the community's parking garage. On to the food, what can I say, how can anyone complain about Nutella? To mix things up, I ordered their crepe with half Nutella, half Biscoff and with strawberries. A very good decision, I must say. The Biscoff was definitely a good surprise. As if I didn't have enough Nutella, I went ahead and ordered the Nutella hot chocolate. It was interesting in a good way. I fully expected a hot chocolate with a hazelnut flavor, but there's actual Nutella in it. My husband ordered the chicken flatbread and liked it but he was swiping at my sweet treats more often than I liked. Overall, a good experience and I would definitely come back again when I am craving crepes.“

I just don't appreciate the older Asian women that start speaking in their language, look me up and down. Start talking and laugh. You don't have to know a language, to know that something is being said about.“

“Love this place! Food is always great. Made fresh. Staff are always nice and give great service. My favorite thing to get here is the TUNA MELT! I am not a fan of tuna at all until I had theirs. There are times where they will run out because they make a certain amount of tuna salad for the day. Not complaining about that, I just know that it was made fresh that day, so I definitely love it! So order ahead by calling in. If you're not a fan of it at all, give any of their sandwiches a try and ask them to add that chipotle sauce, changes everything, you will thank you me later. If you are in the Irvine area, give them a try!Kid-friendliness: They have baby seat chairs for dine-in and kid friendly items as well.Parking: Since this is a small cafe surrounded by business establishments it will be difficult to park but it is fortunate that you do not have to pay for any parking. Usually people come to just pick up and go so parking isn't usually a problem.“

Ahi Poke Bowl

“I had just flew into SNA and needed to find a local coffee shop to work before I hit the road again. There were plenty of fine establishments to choose from, but Olive Grove Cafe stood out for me because of its open air industrial look. I got to the cafe around 8:45am on a Tuesday morning. It was cool how this cafe was connected to a marketplace and a cafeteria. I could see it being the one-stop-shop for employees in the surrounding businesses. There was plenty of seating, so I snagged a table with a outlet. The place was busy but quiet since most customers were there working. Also appreciated that there wasn't any ambient music blasting. I could work here all day if I had the time. The place offered free, fast wi-fi, which was a huge plus. I took my remote calls without lag or downtime. Customer service was excellent. There was one barista holding down the fort. She was very friendly and made a solid latte for me.“
