Crema's Take

Play Coffee pulls off the rare feat of being genuinely serious about specialty coffee while maintaining a genuinely welcoming atmosphere—their rotating single-origin selections work equally well for espresso devotion or casual pour-over sipping. The space itself is a draw, housed in a historic Orange bank building with soaring ceilings and abundant natural light, plus practically every table has an outlet, making it an actual destination rather than a pit stop. If you want the best coffee in Orange County served by baristas who actually know what they're doing, this is worth the trip.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Parking available.

Lovely specialty coffee in Orange, CA. Plenty of indoor seating with outlets almost at every table. They have a serious variety of coffee beans and simple but delicious menu. Highly recommend the espresso tonic for a lovely refreshing drink!

The highest level coffee shop in all of orange county full stop. They have specialty single origin menu choices for both pour-over and espresso. Highly trained baristas that should all be in competitions. Their iced pour-overs are the move btw. Those do cost a bit more than your…
