This was an amazing coffee shop and wished it was closer because I would actually go every week! Just the baked good section alone was just amazing and they had these huge cookies on display. It was honestly hard to find something I wanted because I wanted half of what they had. The drinks too were very good, I finished my drink and it was a large and usually a large is way too much for me and usually takes me the whole day to finish it. I got the coconut cream and you can adjust it to your liking. I can't tolerate coffee that's strong so I had one less espresso shot and it was so yummy. I got the CCO artisan sandwich and it comes with a bag of chips. Even their selection of chips was so good. This was the best sandwich I've ever had and the other ones looked yummy too. I was able to take my dog with me because there's a few outdoor seating up in front. This was such a cute shop and I can't wait to go back when I'm in the area.
Been coming to Rekindle for years— love this place. Great for studying or for breakfast. Came in today for lunch— something was wrong with my bagel sandwich and without any questions, they made me a new one and gave me a free pastry for the trouble. The girls that work there are always super nice!!
This place is amazing their cookies are fresh and sandwiches and everything else order the banana creme pie blended. The boyfriend got his latte we ordered their avocado toast with egg and gluten free snicker doodle cookie is so good and so yummy it breaks so evenly and smoothly. So much goodness in every bite then the red velvet cookie is so good as well. Ugh need to warm it up so you can enjoy it more. The staff is very friendly welcoming the girls that assisted us today are always a pleasure. Their really dedicated and super welcoming. If you are ever in the area go check them out I personally think that this place is better the Starbucks the freshest place to eat.
Love stopping at Rekindle whenever I am in the area. They always have a great (and rotating) selection of bakery items and specialty drinks. I've only tried a few of the baked goods (I'm mostly there for the coffee), but what I have had were delicious. There is a lot of care that goes into the food and coffee.
Parking is a bit tough in front, but there is a decent sized lot behind that is shared with other businesses.
A cozy little coffee shop with some killer desserts.
Rekindle is connected to a small strip mall that had a decent amount of parking when I arrived on a Sunday afternoon.
Coming into the shop, there were some limited bar style counter seats on the inside and some tables outside. It was a bit busy when I got there as something else to be mindful of on the weekend.
After looking over the menu for a bit, I ended up get a DIY sandwich, a wild cucumber tea, and a pumpkin scone.
One thing I learned at the cafe was that the desserts are made in-house and think they shine as one of my favorite parts. There's a lot to choose from including cookies, pastries, and cakes. I ended up eyeing the pumpkin scone and was so glad I did. It had great flavor; not overly sweet; and was nice and crunchy on the outside/soft on the inside. Absolutely loved it.
The drinks are also pretty numerous with special seasonal drinks like a witch's brew to iced teas which is what I ended up getting with less sweetener. The wild cucumber had some notes of blueberry and cucumber mixed into a black tea. It was super refreshing!
Finally, the DIY sandwich had a ton of options. I mixed in turkey with chipotle sauce, pepperoncinis, and a host of veggies. Took a little long to make but was super delicious and filling when it came out. It also came with a side of chips you can choose.
A fun stop - hope to come by again soon!
My wife and I live close to this cafe and we have always wanted to try it so we made it a point to do so this week, and boy are we glad! Wow! We’ve been to Urth, Portola, and many other places in the area and this is by far the best we’ve had. We got this crazy layered grilled cheese and the cookies are amazing. All of them. There are so many delicious things to try it’s going to take all year before we through it all. Anyways, if you’re in Orange, you need to do so. Delicious and you won’t be disappointed.
Great atmosphere with great coffee highly recommend.

Rekindle really cares about their customers. After a minor mishap last week, the owner, Rebecca, called me personally to apologize. She brought me into the store, along with the manager, Peyton sat down and talked with me. She along with the employees were very apologetic with a complimentary drink, pastries, and a giftcard. It was a sweet reminder as to why I absolutely love this shop. I will continue to tell everyone about it. It'll quickly become your favorite, too!
I’ve never had complaints about this place till today, I always order an iced matcha fog, and was told by the brunette cashier with the no rim glasses that it would be too long to make and was given attitude when I still asked for it. When I paid she turned to the blonde hair blue eyed barista and they both laughed at the fact that that’s what I asked for.
My friends absolutely loved all the delicious pastries for National Pumpkin Day 🎃🧡☮️🎉
Happened to chance upon this cafe on our way to Starbucks. Hands down the best coffee, pastries and environment. The two ladies up front made the whole experience wonderful. Very chill vibe and definitely fresh stuff. If you’re looking for coffee and a nice place to just chill on your own or with family, ditch Starbucks and come here!
Best pastries ever! They have bars and brownies, french macarons and coconut macaroons, croissants, Danish, cookies, cakes, bagels, sandwiches, salads, and ever ham and Cheese croissants. All very delicious along with great coffee and drinks. Must go! Service is exceptional. Great atmosphere! Love Rekindle!!!!
Coffee, pastries, food, all incredible. They have interesting latte options (loved both the "romantic rose" and "thin mint"), the pastries are flavorful and flaky, and on the breakfast sandwiches they do NOT skimp on the bacon! Nice thick layer of juicy bacon bits. Yum!
ALL of the breads and pastries are made on-site! Brownies, cookies, muffins, croissants... all good, all fresh!
Very accommodating for putting together party trays on short notice.
Family-owned small business that really tries their best to make you happy!
Picture is of about 18 assorted brownie bars, fruit bars, and smores bars(!) cut into thirds for an office gift. Toothpicks inserted for ease of selection by office staff.
Caramel latte is delicious... My friends got the hot chocolate and she loved it. Cute place to go and they make most of their pastries/Food in house! Definitely coming here again
Enjoyed my oatmeal, coffee beverage was ok. Service was fine and relatively quick. For the price, not worth it.
A phenomenally exuberant place to indulge in the freshest pastries in town. Rekindle your passion for the richest latte drinks and tea in Orange, CA. I absolutely love this place!! I love every corner of it and how cozy it feels to sit and work or enjoy a chit chat with friends. It is a solid 5-star coffee place and you will love it.
