The Lost Bean
4632 Barranca Pkwy Suite 4632, Irvine, CA
Crema's Take
“This cozy corner cafe has earned devoted regulars who rave about their expertly crafted lattes and smooth, balanced espresso—the kind of place where baristas clearly understand their craft. Beyond the excellent coffee, The Lost Bean creates a welcoming community vibe where you'll find people lingering with their dogs and laptops, and they sweeten the deal with perks like free cups when you buy whole beans. It's the type of neighborhood gem that inspires customers to leave their very first Google review just to express their love for it.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Dog friendly.

The Lost Bean has a nice vibe, and the espresso is smooth and rich, just like I like it. The place is cozy, but it can get crowded sometimes, and service can be hit or miss depending on when you go. It’s a solid spot if you’re looking for a good espresso but nothing…
