Things to do in Irvine: Food

  1. 1 4 Star Rating: Recommended Cha For Tea

    Great little boba tea shop! It tends to be a little crowded and loud inside so if you want you can sit at one of the countless tables outside. In my Irvine days I loved their Jade Green Tea! Oh, and they also serve food like fried calamari.

  2. 2 4 Star Rating: Recommended Elephant Bar Restaurant

    There aren't a lot of things to do in Irvine but the Elephant Bar is a good destination for private parties.

    Panera Bread is a good spot for getting together with a study group. There are large, library-like tables, Wifi and yummy food of course!

    My experience at Irvine's Mimi's Cafe might have been especially good since the manager comped it but I have always loved coming to this restaurant. Try their Spinach Dip, Tuscan Chicken and Blueberry Muffins.
