When you are looking for a café in Irvine, it is easier to start with what you want to drink or buy today than with a shop name. Crumbside’s Irvine listing has 32 cafés and bakeries. This guide picks ten whose menus and branches we could check against official sources and groups them four ways.

The ten places at a glance

Coffee from brands that roast their own

Blue Hummingbird Coffee Roastery is on Alton Parkway. According to the brand’s story, its co-founders started it because they found specialty coffee missing in Irvine. Its flagship coffee comes from the Perez family’s farm, managed by co-founder Christian’s cousin, and the story also describes the natural processing method the farm has been experimenting with. The online shop sorts beans into light, medium and dark roasts. Brand story

Besides the roastery, Irvine has Coffee & Kitchen (1 Park Plaza), Cup (385 Novel) and Spaces (530 Technology). The official location page lists order-ahead links and coffee bean pickup for each, so check the branch name when you order. Official locations
