Headed over to Cafe Lucca in Old Town Orange with a former work colleague for our usual monthly meet up this afternoon. There are so many amazing restaurants in the area that we usually rotate, but lately we’ve been dropping in to Cafe Lucca. They make great cafe lattes and iced coffee, plus the food [...]
