Blue Hummingbird Coffee Roastery and Tasting Room

if you're going in for the first time, start with whatever they're roasting in-house that week. that's the point of a roastery and tasting room: you're getting something made on-site, not shipped in from a regional distributor and left to sit. blue hummingbird coffee roastery and tasting room has built a genuine local following out on alton parkway, which isn't the most atmospheric strip in irvine, but the people who know, know. the tasting room format means you can actually engage with the roast profile rather than just guessing at it through a paper cup. it's a real operation in a part of orange county that doesn't always reward this kind of specificity. worth the trip out to suite 135 for a proper roastery pour.
