COFFEE ROASTERS: TOP 3
/PORTOLA COFFEE ROASTERS:
Portola Coffee is a coffee company that helped lead the way with the Orange County specialty coffee scene. Starting in 2011, Portola Coffee baristas took things seriously and to show how serious they were, they all wore lab coats as a sign to show that coffee was more than a drink, it was a science. Starting in Costa Mesa, California, Portola Coffee was ambitious and got started with opening many more locations throughout Orange County, coffee shops in Mission Viejo, Tustin, Long Beach, Huntington Beach, Irvine. Since opening, they have closed down a few of their stores, but only to revamp their coffee shop approach, so dont fear as their original location is still active and they have plans to open more in the future. Portola Coffee sources and roasts some of the best coffee around, so its no wonder why we like to use their coffee so often.
LION & LAMB COFFEE ROASTERS:
Lion and Lamb Coffee Roasters is a coffee company in Costa Mesa, Orange County, California. The owner of Lion and Lamb is an ex-Barista from Portola Coffee, so it’s no wonder why they are on our top 3 list and why they roast such great coffee. Lion and Lamb is a coffee shop on the side of Watermark Church and has the most beautiful interior decorations and wall murals. This coffee shop has all the latest and greatest in coffee equipment, from the new Slayer Espresso Machine to the Mahlkonig E-85 grinders to the EK43 coffee grinder. These machines really help the Baristas there to create some of the best coffee drinks that you will try.
