Cafe, Coffee & Crepes near UC Irvine
UC Irvine is a university, and for students, staff and visiting parents Le Cafe Du Parc is about 14 minutes away by car, 6.9 miles, to the east of campus at 12000 Spectrum in Irvine. That is far enough to feel like a break from campus and close enough for a quick trip. Wi-Fi is available, the seating is calm, and we are open from 7 AM until 10 PM Sunday through Thursday and 11 PM on Friday and Saturday, so a study session or a late meetup is possible. Fuel up with an americano, a matcha latte, a chai karak or a Spanish latte. Food that suits a student schedule includes a croissant, Avocado Toast, a flatbread and Buttermilk Pancakes. When exams end, celebrate with a Dubai Pistachio Crepe or a Dubai Waffle. Parents in town can bring the whole group, because kids and groups are welcome. The café is inside The Park at Irvine Spectrum, an apartment community with park-like seating under trees and palms, and dogs are welcome at the outside tables. Parking costs nothing. If you are organizing a club event, a graduation party or a department gathering, ask about catering. Chocolate fountains and crêpe stations are among the options. Bring a study group, a roommate or your parents, and take a table outside while the weather is good.
