Portola is OC's third wave coffee pioneer. What's not to love about hand crafted espresso made with the upmost perfection. I absolutely love the baristas, atmosphere and of course the quality coffee !
I love dark, black coffee that gives you instant energy when you need a good kicking. I prefer v60 because I feel the time goes into the coffee equates to how awesome it'll taste. FYI, cookie = Big-O.
The coffee here is unmatched. I have yet to find a spot that brews better coffee . If I had to recommend one drink, get the Kyoto Iced Coffee—it's ... so good.
Hands down the best coffee you will find anywhere in SoCal. Specialty pastries are good and the food menu is simple and healthy. Try a V60 pour over or house made chai
Good coffee and atmosphere. Great place to get work done or study, although wifi can be pretty inconsistent. The mocha is incredible!
Really impressive iced coffee with the kyoto, and the flat brown is an interesting take on one of my favorites, the flat white .
Amazing drinks. We had wonderful lemonade with a wonderful twist of spice. Show is cod on toast with crispy pork belly . All the food rocks!
Don Pachi Geisha - Available in 3 different sizes for your home brewing pleasure. You can also enjoy Don Pachi at our main bar , brewed to order v60 style, $12 a cup, until we run out!
THEOREM - Now open to the public daily from 11am-9pm, with a new speciality drink menu monthly. April's drinks are: coffee old fashioned - vanilla scented con panna - latte macchiato - campfire capp
Great coffee !! All of the pastries I have tried are good as well . My favorite is the cafe latte and a maple pecan scone ... Perfect continental breakfast .
The finest coffee within 200 miles. Get a gaspar , perfect balance and delicious espresso flavour accented by super high quality Strauss cream steamed to perfection.
Nothing I love more than an ice cold Kyoto!! And for the most comforting drink, have a mocha (hot or cold)! Of course, we can't forget the breakfast burritos, right? I love Portola!
New Chefs Special Salad : Bacon and date salad with coffee balsamic. The perfect lunch !
an interactive Coffee R+D lab where you can actually learn about the subtle nuances of perfecting a cup of joe. Currently sipping my Kyoto Iced Coffee , heaven in a cup.
A-Mazing coffee here! They have dark roasted espresso & a lighter roast, which is awesome for those of us who like our espresso rich & dark!

This spot has some of the best coffee you'll have in orange county . And on top of the great drinks the staff there is always nice and willing to help.
The coffee and pastries are really good. Pretty amazing like everyone says. However, maybe the baristas drink too much of this stuff because they need to relax...big time.

Knowledgeable staff , hipster cool & relaxing ambience , lovely garden patio , & free wifi makes this place my new favorite cafe in OC.
Probably one of the trendiest coffee shops you're gonna find. Great stuff. If you're a coffee fanatic this is the place to see
Try the flat brown if you like your coffee with a touch of chocolate ????????
Great care taken here to specialty coffee . On the roast as well as prep side. Such a treat for great coffee appreciators.
Excellent coffee with exceptional brewing choices. One drawback is this is not a very comfortable venue as it lacks warm ambiance and adequate and comfortable seating .
Great coffee and food! Here's a tip and some constructive criticism. Don't serve 'For Here' coffee in a 'To Go' cup and have teaspoons available or packets of sugar so you can measure your amount.
Excellent coffee and service. Enjoy your coffee while watching The roaster do his work.
My favorite coffee joint in OC other than Kean. The Kyoto Iced Coffee won't disappoint, provided they haven't run out of it that day...
Hidden caffeine Speakeasy , just past the Traditional Portola long line . A true gem. amazing!
Great lattes and vibes 8/10.
Great coffee in Orange County .
They don't only serve the set list if espresso drinks on the menu. I (surprisingly but not so surprisingly) was able to order a Flat White and a Gaspar . Ask and you shall receive
I'm a tea and boba person, so the Kyoto iced coffee was too much for me. Should've gotten a latte . Relaxing place to hang out though!
Get a single shot espresso - it comes with a little glass of seltzer water to cleanse your palette between each sip
The BLT and burger are pricey but worth every penny. They're massive.
Beautiful and unusual setting. The barristas are super friendly and accommodating!????
Great coffee , I especially love the flat white , but prepare for a very long wait .
Probably the best Mocha west of Mississippi ;)
Great coffee .
Cool geeky science approach to coffee - love it! And I'm English and usually drink gallons of tea
Theorem is way better than the main bar . Nick is such a nice guy and he really knows his brew.
I found out that the booth next door is all things tea & they have 5 aptly named teas on tap. A must try!
Best latte in orange county . Spirit machine!
as generic as it may sound, mocha at portola is made with ganache chocolate and is perfect hot or iced :)
I got an iced rose and cardamom latte that was incredibly delicious!! ????
Wifi : portola-guest/tryitblack
Flat white , mocha , pastries

The lattes are a classic choice! ????
Great churro croissant and flat white !!

Some of the best boba I’ve had! You really can’t go wrong here. Their brown sugar boba is so good! - Michael Morgan
Amazing baristas...always friendly, attentive, and service with a smile. - Muizz Kheraj
