The cashier was super patient while I looked through the menu, but there also wasn't a line that early yet. I got the banana matcha, which isn't something I usually get, but I liked it a lot! The banana cream taste definitely stood out. I would definitely come back again, but I would want to make sure my devices were charged first.

Stopped by on a weekday morning around 10:30 am and the experience was smoother than expected for a…read morepopular spot. There were about 3 people ahead of me in line and a few waiting for drinks, but I was able to order and get my drink in around 10 minutes. Staff was very friendly and checked in with us while waiting in line! I ordered the Matcha Two, which comes as a matcha latte topped with salted matcha vanilla cream foam. The foam was velvety and creamy. The matcha had a smooth, earthy flavor with subtle sweetness. Oatmilk was the default choice, and while I usually think oatmilk can overpower matcha, it worked well in this drink. It is a little pricey for 1 drink, but that also seems to be the norm these days for specialty drinks. This is more of a grab-and-go spot than a place to hang out. There's no seating, just a bench inside, and everyone waited outside since the interior is on the smaller side. Parking was easy when I went. Overall, a pleasant experience for a yummy matcha drink, and I'd definitely come back to try more of their matcha menu!

Ayer Coffee is a popular matcha and Vietnamese coffee specialty shop in Orange County and there was…read morealready a waiting line when our party arrived at 8 AM opening time on Saturday. [Parking]: Easy and free strip mall parking. [Atmosphere]: This is a grab-and-go-only shop with no indoor tables. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are Mango Matcha, Salted Saigon, and Matcha Latte. They also sell Korean salt bread in limited quantity, so come early before it sells out. *** Signature Korean Salt Bread (Limited Daily - $4.50): A bit cold but tasted good. Mango Matcha (Made with oat milk & mango purée - $7.50): I see the appeal - the drink was quite good. The matcha did not taste overly diluted and the sweetness level was solid. *** Overall this is a 5-star-worthy matcha shop in Orange County.

When it came to my order, no one mentioned that I could modify it so it was full sweet..too sweet. The drinks come with freeze dried fruit on top which brings some texture but the matcha does not taste ceremonial and slightly bitter. The ambiance is swanky and a spot for people to be on their laptops to do homework or work. They offer pastries and free wifi. I would recommend sticking to the coffee and will try again next time in the area.

Morning Lavender Cafe is a spot that offers Afternoon Tea, drinks, and food at the back of the…read moreMorning Lavender boutique. It's a cute space with lots of pink, purple, and florals. Came here with some friends for Afternoon Tea on a Saturday. We made a reservation for 12:30pm. Check-in was easy and quick. Since it was raining, we were seated indoors. Our server came to explain the menu and tea choices. Unfortunately, they were out of some teas, but they have a seasonal tea menu to make up for it. There were four of us and we all got the Afternoon Tea set. The teas we chose were the Coconut Milk Green Tea, Blueberry Pie Green Tea, Earl Grey Lavender, and Cherry Rose Rooibos. The teas came out first followed by the food items. We were told to let the teas steep for 4 minutes before pouring them. They were all great, but the favorite for us was the Coconut Milk Green Tea. It was creamy, smooth, and milky with a nice coconut flavor. The Blueberry Pie Green Tea tasted like a blueberry pie. We did not feel that the blueberry flavor was artificial. The Earl Grey Lavender was more Earl Grey than lavender. There might have been a subtle lavender flavor. The Cherry Rose Rooibos was surprisingly flavorful. We were able to taste both the cherry and rose. The food items were all solid. Our favorite sandwiches are the Chicken Salad and Cucumber ones. The breads for all the sandwiches were soft and fluffy, but they held up well. The scones were crunchy but not dry, and the jam was delicious. The fruit tart was mediocre. The pastry was soggy, affecting the texture of the tart. The macaron was not as chewy as others I have had in thr past, but was not too sweet. I did not try the donut so cannot comment on it. Overall, giving Morning Lavender Cafe a 4.5/5. Service is great and staff are quick and attentive. The teas were all good and most of the food is solid with exception of a couple of bites. It is a cute spot for hanging out or having an event such as a bridal shower or birthday. Would recommend to others and would return for Afternoon Tea or other items.

Service was average. Expect to wait about 10 minutes with average customer volume as they spend more time of curating each drink. 4/5 largely based on coffee as I feel the customer experience can be improved. One piece of feedback is that the menu should be reorganized. There are espresso drinks on several of the menu panels but then one space specifically that is titled espresso drinks which would imply the others don't have espresso. For example, the house specialties are listed on a completely separate panel as the espresso drinks, would've like to order one of those had I known they were offered. Essentially you have to read the whole menu with the way it's currently organized you can't just search for tea or coffee sections or you'll likely miss something Importantly you can't study or work here. They intentionally don't have wifi or outlets available to foster a different customer experience. Many of the clientele were reading or knitting which was pleasant. While I support this, it's not made know to customers by signs or anything - you would have to look on Yelp beforehand to know. In addition, I've been to other Kean branches that offered wifi so unless this is a new policy or the branches are owned independently it's important to make customers aware they can't expect the internet at this location in particular. I was caught off guard and had to leave immediately as I needed wifi at the time which was unfortunate. Seats about 25 inside, patio also available. Bathroom under lock and key. Parking is in l shopping center, no issues.

We came on a Sunday afternoon and I was immediately drawn to their case of yummy and aesthetically pleasing looking donuts. I ended up going with the "Bumbleberry Glazed" ($5.50) which is a combination of blueberry, blackberry and raspberry glaze atop of their 40 hour fermented sourdough yeast donut. Their donuts are fried to order so mine arrived perfectly warm and is definitely one of the best yeast donuts I've ever had. Service is friendly, and the shop is clean with ample amount of indoor and some outdoor seating so you can enjoy your donut right then and there. I can't wait to come back to try more of their other flavors!

The inside feels so cozy and honestly, it's really pretty. We were lucky enough to grab the last chicken pot pie pastry and jalapeño and cheese pastry. They were really good and perfectly warmed up. Our drinks were the pretty in pink, a strawberry cold foam topped latte and the petal to the metal, a cold brew topped with floral cold foam. The cold foams are great and almost the star of the drinks, but the coffee is good. Like good good. We waited all but 5 min for our drinks to be made, considering just one girl was behind the counter and she was kicking butt. Glad to add yet another great coffee stop to the list.

Total was $22.93, and this time the splurge was definitely not worth it. Despite being not very busy, the wait for my order was long. When I got home I realized that my La Paz was basically just a plain latte. The barista had forgotten to add the caramelized sugar. Kind of hard to fathom since that's the entire basis of the La Paz. Then I bit into the burrito. What a disappointment! It was the blandest thing I've ever tasted. Not a single bit of flavor. I don't even think there was salt or pepper in there. The roasted red potatoes that made Lost Bean burritos stand out had been replaced with soggy, flavorless shredded potatoes. I can't even call them hash browns because there was no crispy brown to be found, just squishy white shreds. Pretty sure I won't be craving the breakfast burrito or La Paz again. :(
