I have finally found a place in Orange County that does latte art ( I’m sure there’s more waiting to be discovered)! But I heard about this place and found out it was from those wonderful people that brought up Diedrich Coffee I had to visit. They also recently opened a new location in Tustin. … Continue reading
Caffe Zingaro
On my last day in Seattle, the capital city of coffee….there was no way I was getting on a plane without trying a local café. (I am ashamed that I only had time to visit ONE café… *hangs head*) In the quaint little Queen Anne neighborhood, a few blocks away from the Space Needle, is … Continue reading
I Sit at Cafes- RELAUNCH
whoa! So I finally finished transferring my old reviews to Blogspot. Now hopefully I’ll keep this going with some awesome cafes waiting to be discovered in Orange County. If anyone has some good hidden gem suggestions I’m always looking for some good coffee.
Cafe Bonjour
One of my favorite cafes while I studied at HKU, probably because it was conveniently across the street. Bonjour is a cute little café that tries to live up to its name, though most people just walk by and grab something to go, most people do not even know there are plenty of places to … Continue reading
The Garden Cafe
For such a little café, it is definitely popular. Located on a semi-busy street along with a bunch of other little stores, even way after the lunch hour it was packed. The bay window seating, the few tables in the middle of Garden, and even the bar counter facing the wall was packed with people. … Continue reading
Il Bel Paese
Newly relocated just down the block on Caine Road, Il Bel Paese is part-restaurant, part-deli, and part-mini supermarket of Italian goodies. Enter and find the deli where you can order pre-made or custom order sandwiches of all kinds, grab a cappuccino, Italian sodas or buy some special cheeses that might be hard to find anywhere … Continue reading
Cafe Eos
On the busy street of Hennessy Rd, walk into Eos and be in a different world, at least a different country. The little café has a cozy European feel of the French country side, with its chandelier, hanging plants outside, flowery seat cushions, and wrought iron garden tables. The windows made you feel like you … Continue reading
Kafa Cafe
Kafa Coffee specializes in its Ethiopian blends, which I have to admit was really interesting and different; definitely something I’d love to have again. At first I was kinda skeptical when my cup came with a coffeemate creamer. This place has a big menu of pastas, sandwiches, coffee drinks, teas, and cakes, even gelato! But … Continue reading
TuFei Pain Pain
This quiet little restaurant/ bakery is the place for a romantic casual dinner. I was the only customer eating in; most of the customers walk by and buy the artisan breads and baked goods that sit up in the display counter. The menu had a mouth-water range of sandwiches and pastas. I got the special … Continue reading
MIX Cafe – Cascade location
Come in at the lunch hour if you want to rub elbows with the local yuppies and business peeps. One of the rare places in HK to get real smoothies with free boosts, juices, wheatgrass shots, healthy food alternatives like wraps salads and sandwiches. Reminds me of a cross between Jamba Juice and a bar … Continue reading
Cups of Happiness
