Let’s face it… at this point the entire United States economy basically runs on coffee. What once was the go-to drink of cowboys and construction workers has seen a renaissance over the last few decades, and coffee is now easier than ever to find, and to tailor to your taste. Irvine has a serious coffee culture, and finding a life changing cup of joe is within reach. Here are a few of our favorite coffee stops in Irvine.
Coffee Tomo is all about hand drip coffee. You’re won’t find an urn of drip coffee from 4 hours ago sitting here. Each cup is handmade to perfection. They start with whole fresh beans, grind them before your eyes, and make your coffee your way while you watch! This technique has long been popular in Asian countries like Korea, China, and Japan, but is relatively new to America. In fact, Tomo is a Japanese word meaning friend. So grab a friend and head to Coffee Tomo for a designer cup of tasty java!
If you are in need of a serious jolt, Blk Dot Coffee is the place to be. The very first thing you see on their website is the slogan “Sleep is overrated.” Their specialty is a drink they call VTM coffee, which is guaranteed to give you a solid boost! BLK Dot is on their way up. They recently expanded from the first location in Irvine to four locations in Laguna Beach and Irvine. You can find them in the Google Center, The Marketplace, or the Irvine Spectrum in Irvine, on North Coast Highway in Laguna Beach. In addition to excellent coffee, they feature tasty food like banh mi and other amazing sandwiches!
The newly remodeled Sootha Coffee is the perfect place to sit back and relax with a latte and do some reading. Or work. Or studying. Or whatever, really. Enjoy a cup of coffee made from 100% organic beans and nosh on a toasty panini or crispy fresh salad. They also offer occasional Home Barista classes so you can learn to make a mean cup of java right in your own kitchen!
