Hopper & Burr

Delicious brunch with a nice transition from coffee to happy hour

I always love the coffee here. H & B has a few tasty food options too, but not a "go-to" place for a meal. Atmosphere is weirdly white and clean -- antiseptic. Still, it is a good place to empty your email backlog or get some work done. Appears too be always uncrowded. Parking: Parking in the closest garage is free for an hour or two. The price after free parking is inexpensive. Wheelchair accessibility: Level with the sidewalk, through the double doors, with no steps.

First time here and I had the unfortunate experience of trying a seasonal drink called the Smokehouse Capp - a cappuccino with some flavored syrup and a way generous amount of salt sprinkled on top. First of all, I am highly sensitive to salt (and hate salt in any desserts like not even cookies - I can immediately taste it) so totally my fault for getting convinced into drinking this by a patron sitting right by the coffee machine saying it was hugely popular (how?!). The barista let me replace my drink with a regular cappuccino after I tried the smokehouse but the damage had already been done after three sips. The salt burnt my taste buds and I could taste it as I licked my lips of the milk foam (with salt) and ultimately - an hour later I still could taste the remnants of salt in my mouth so much I had to vomit it out. I can still feel my stomach churning from the insanely salty experience and may need to go try to get more of the salt out of my body before I metabolize it and my body dehydrates. Street parking here isn’t bad and conveniently located next to a public parking lot. There are a lot of Asian patrons to this establishment and the coffee shop seems trendy. The other drinks might be more normal, and can’t speak for the quality of any other drink as my experience was probably out of the norm. The salt drink with almond milk was > $8, for a small cappuccino. Not worth it in my opinion even if it had not gotten me sick.

If you are a coffee aficionado, Hopper and Burr has THE most delicious espresso drinks, made with raw, grass fed whole milk or homemade almond milk. The cappuccino I ordered was perfectly balanced. Best in OC!

As soon as I walked in there was no greeting staff they’re not attentive to customers whatsoever.I had to speak up louder than usual to make sure he heard my order. The coffee is way overpriced and it had a horrible taste. They really gentrified 4 st. Even the “non locals” make you feel like you’re the outsider. I would only recommend if you like horrible coffee and you like feeling like an outsider in your OWN town.I personally think Starbucks is way better then this.I would recommend Kaffa off of Main st right across from the Choc hospital their coffee is immaculate and reasonably priced. I also recommend Laguna Coffee Company but that’s down the Pacific Coast Highway in Laguna Beach.

A pleasant surprise driving by, glad I decided to check the place out. Great coffee, amazing ricotta+jam toast, beautiful setting. What a wonderful way to start the morning. Thank you for the experience a true gem

espresso tonic : new experience -> surprised how well they get along Avocado toast : thumbs up. I might have been too sensitive, but the food was kinda hard to cut(burnt a little). I asked if the food is like that or maybe it is overcooked. They kindly remade one for me and it tasted good. If they didn’t remade it for me I would give 4stars but now I wanna add one more star on top of 5

I used to like this place but service is now always slow and confused. There’s a reason why it’s never very crowded here.

They have the best espresso-seltzer in town I think. Been here a couple of times. Clean spot, amazing coffee coffee
