Commons Cafe
17941 Sky Park Cir # D, Irvine, CA
Crema's Take
“Commons Cafe is serving some of Orange County's cleanest, most technically precise espresso drinks—reviewers are genuinely raving about their Americanos and espresso tonics with the kind of enthusiasm usually reserved for destination roasteries. The space strikes that perfect balance between serious about coffee and actually welcoming: skilled baristas who know their craft, pastries from Kuum bakery that live up to the hype, and a vibe that works equally well for solo focus sessions or lingering with friends. If you've been frustrated by the syrup-heavy mediocrity that dominates OC coffee, this is the place that finally delivers.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Love the space, friendly service, and drinks were good
One of OC’s newest coffee shops that I find myself consistently going back to. I’m a big fan of their pour overs, cold brews, and espresso tonics. I didn’t know coffee could taste this good. Check out the Ethiopia Yirgacheffe if you get a chance! Lots of seating & everyone is…
Excellent coffee.
