I genuinely think Ayer Coffee has the best matcha in all of OC. Ever since they opened, I've been…read morethere 4-5 times a week and somehow still haven't gotten tired of it. The quality and consistency are honestly unmatched. I've tried pretty much every drink on the menu at this point, and every single visit tastes just as good as the last, which is rare these days. Yes, the line can get long sometimes, but the staff does such a great job moving things quickly while still being friendly and attentive. You never feel rushed, and they're always happy to answer questions or make recommendations. Their new guava matcha is AMAZING! Super unique and refreshing without being overly sweet. I've already convinced a bunch of my friends and family to try Ayer and now they're hooked too. Even my dad, who visits Vietnam often and is very picky about coffee, said he liked the coffee at Ayer even more. I've also purchased their Saigon blend to make Vietnamese coffee at home, and the staff were incredibly helpful in guiding me on how to brew it properly. You can tell they genuinely care about both the quality of their drinks and the customer experience. Ayer deserves all the hype. Easily one of my favorite coffee spots ever.

Cute shop, but the line on the weekends can be pretty long…read more I love the cups and the little sparrow is super cute. The signature drinks are good, but the seasonal ones can be questionable. Avoid the s'mores latte it's basically gram cracker juice. I've been going to white sparrow for a couple years now, and it's great if you're taking the coffee to go. But the shop it's pretty small so don't take the coffee to stay. Only reason that this review is not 5 stars is because I got a minty matcha here once (by the way best winter drink everyone should try it) and the girl who made my drink but WAY too much water in my matcha. She then proceeded to ask her coworker what to do and he said "just give it to her she won't notice". I noticed, and I heard. But overall pretty good coffee and the best place in old town tustin.

raised by lions has to be one of my favorite coffee shops in the area. i love that there are so…read moremany different flavors and options, so it never feels boring no matter how many times you go. i also think it's super sweet that they have drinks named after some of their regulars and staff. it gives the whole place a really personal, community feel. the shop itself is always such a vibe too. it's cozy but still lively, and it feels like the kind of place you can either sit and catch up with someone or just hang out by yourself for a bit. the staff have always been friendly and helpful, even when it gets busy. i've tried a number of items from their food and drink menus, and nothing has been a disappointment thus far. it's the perfect morning or weekend stop to spend some time and hang around with a nicely crafted drink.

Came here to meet up a friend and ended up trying their matcha. We got the strawberry and banana…read morematcha. My friend got the strawberry with 1/4 sweetness and it was lacking. 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.

Love this place! Super cute and the Lavender Matcha and Watermelon cooler drinks I got during…read moreK-Beauty week was super delicious! They have a photo booth (there's a fee) and a cute retail store where they sell clothing and other items in the left side of the cafe. Theme is pastel colors with lavender and flowers. Perfect vibe for tea, food or high tea. They have a patio area too, perfect for when the weather is nice. Wish they had one closer to me, Tustin is a bit of a drive, but if you're in the area, definitely worth checking out. Parking looks limited though.

Quality of service: low quality service here and definitely not enough proper management in the…read moreboutique shop they have within this "cafe". this place is SMALL and yet not enough monitoring from staff and also overpriced items. wtf? Fell pretty hard on my bottom while changing out of their slippery darn purple "flower" dress which likely had weirdly SMALL bust cups that didn't fit me when THIS DRESS was MY SIZE. It was also not suitable with the floor type they had. Some white american kids laughed outside for probably 10 minutes straight and kept mocking me and asking "is she okay???????" and laughing while also repeatedly knocking on my fitting room door and pretending to be staff, "is everything okay??" in high pitched voices. Note that this happened for awhile after I fell hard to the floor. This is a VERY SMALL boutique with like 4 fitting rooms and i was the ONLY one using a room. Anyways staffing did not do anything. I came out after awhile and returned to counter immediately. Service lost. Never coming back for overpriced items, poor service, staff just standing at the counter NEXT to fitting room doing NOTHING. Anyways. NEXT. Expenses/impression: cute to go once but the 2nd time, i'm like wait - low quality dresses! they prob got from shein/some place but price them so high. also labubu stickers priced at $2/piece when i have this entire collection for like $1-2 spent total?????!? recognized them immediately.

I got a chance to pet the cats and the employee gave me some rules. We also have to sign a waiver. The cats varied by breed. There's free WiFi and the cats here are mostly calm but one is mean and doesn't like to get pet. If you want to know the cat's name, there's a tv in the petting room that has all their names. Hygiene is heavily prioritized here and I like that!

Nice place to stop and get coffee. They roast beans in house and sell beans as well. Pastries are…read morealso enjoyable. I ordered a honey vanilla latte and guava cheese pastry, both good. 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.

She is always there; every time I come to this place and I see her, I automatically know that my drink will taste watery which makes me visit here less frequently. My most recent visit, I waited around 25 mins for my drinks. There is no one in line and no one else waiting for an order, but there are these 2 girls just chit chatting in the back, which delayed my order. I don't think I'll be returning back.

During my recent trip here, I got cream Puffs (my favorite) and the strawberry croissant. There was a short line but it moved quickly. Customer service was average, and they keep the line moving. I would've ordered more, but was flying back to sac in a few hours so had to limit what I ordered to bring back. This location is the original and it is crowded inside since they sell goods also. I believe they have a few tables for dining in outside, bit I've never dined in so cannot speak to that. I'll continue to go here, or one of their other locations when I'm in So-Cal.

Hey Beautiful People!…read more So you know how no 2 shops are alike, even if they are owned by the same person? Well, I learned my lesson! This Cream Pan is nothing like their FV location, which is sad because Tustin is actually the original. Inside is dingy and messy, which should have been a sign for me to walk out, but I really wanted a strawberry croissant. Big mistake! It was soggy--as if it was made yesterday. The strawberry was already going bad. Will never set foot in this location ever again and learned my lesson to stick to the Fountain Valley one. Thanks for reading!
