Tru Bru Coffee

Super cute place, both people that helped me were super nice and I love coming here for coffee and a pastry, the coffee cake and the pumpkin spice latte are both really good!! 10/10! :)

Absolutely loved our stop at Tru Bru Organic Coffee in Orange! I ordered a flat white and my daughter got the kids’ hot chocolate—and both were spot on. My flat white had a smooth, rich espresso flavor with perfectly textured milk (none of that overly foamy stuff you get at chain spots). Huge shoutout to Courtney for the beautiful latte art and for adding a swirl of delicious whipped cream to my daughter’s drink—she made it feel extra special. The kids’ hot chocolate came in the cutest cup, just the right temperature, and not overly sweet. My daughter said it was her “fanciest hot chocolate ever.” The vibe here is warm and inviting—earthy, minimalist, and full of regulars who clearly love the place. There’s a calm, intentional feel to it, with plenty of seating and an organic, wellness-conscious menu that goes beyond just coffee. Definitely a place I’d return to, whether for a solo work session or a chill weekend outing with the fam.

I have been here with my little family 6 times. The food is so amazing and freshly prepared. The lattes and strawberry matcha are excellent and so well balanced even with the addition of extra shots. The interior design is so comforting and eclectic. We typically walk here on Saturday or Sunday. We have also been for fries and wine and beer in happy hour. We love their fries.

I have recently found this place! One of the few places here in OC with good cappuccino! Their burger is delicious and their bakery goods are yummy! Highly recommended. The only issue is that their outside tables are not usable because birds there are trained to attack for food.

I was in the area and looked for a coffee shop nearby and found this little hidden treasure. I ordered the hot organic latte, which was pretty good. The place is great, plenty of seating area, so that you can either enjoy your cup of coffee, have a bite to eat, or even study/work. The interior design has a farm style house vibe, which I like and fits this place well. This is a busy establishment, but the baristas get the orders (online and in person) ready, real fast. The staff are friendly with warm greetings and efficient. Come by if you’re ever in the area.

Tru Bru Coffee is a fantastic find in Orange! I was initially drawn in after visiting their sister establishment Humbowl next door (same amazing owners!), and I'm so glad I did. Their homemade iced teas are absolutely outstanding - perfectly brewed, refreshing, and available in several creative flavors that change seasonally. They strike that perfect balance of being flavorful without being overly sweet. I often find myself stopping by just for a tea when I'm in the area! But the real star of the show for me is their tuna melt. It's honestly one of the best I've had in Orange County - made with premium tuna, perfectly melted cheese, and served on bread that's toasted to golden perfection. The tuna salad has just the right amount of creaminess with a hint of crunch from finely diced vegetables. It's comfort food elevated to an art form and comes with your choice of chips or salad. The atmosphere matches the quality of their offerings - warm, inviting, and clearly cared for. The staff treats you like family, remembering regulars' orders and always greeting you with a smile. Whether you're looking for your morning coffee fix, a refreshing homemade iced tea, or that incredible tuna melt, Tru Bru Coffee delivers excellence across the board. It's clear why the owners have succeeded with both Humbowl and Tru Bru - they understand quality and customer experience like no other!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I fear I am so picky about my lattes but Tru Bru always delivers! Their iced oat milk latte is never bitter, always smooth, and they even use those crushed ice cubes I love. This location specifically has my favorite cozy environment and the service mirrors that warmth as well. Also, the pastries — I tried the dairy-free banana walnut muffin — were warm and delicious. Will be back for sure!
