    Matcha Two!
    Truc T.

    Super TLDR: -Loved the Matcha Two, will try Mango Matcha next. -Matcha was creamy, smooth, & perfectly sweet. -It was awesome to see the employees whisk each individual portion in their matcha bowls in the kitchen. -Most drinks use Oat Milk by default, can adjust sugar to less sweet. -About $6-$8 per drink. -Parking lot is semi-crowded, and wait time is about 20 minutes, as there's always a line. -Orders come out pretty timely & definitely coming back again!

    To begin with, the parking is terrible, there's usually a long line, and there's no seating. I used to come here regularly, but between the declining service and inconsistent drink quality, it's just not worth it anymore. I'd recommend going to Airoma instead. When you order a drink with light ice, they leave about an inch of room at the top and won't fill it with additional liquid. I spoke with one of the owners before, and they used to accommodate this, so it was disappointing to see the change. Paying nearly $8 for essentially one cup of liquid and then waiting 30 minutes isn't a great value, especially with so many other options in Orange County. To make matters worse, the drink I received was so clumpy that I had to have it remade.

    Went on a Friday afternoon and there was a line so hesitated on waiting, but the line moved rather quickly so don't let it detour you! From waiting to getting my drink, it took 15 minutes. I got the matcha two and the hojicha latte and they were both really good. There's not many coffee shops where I actually enjoy their matcha but this place actually has good smooth matcha with the perfect blend of sweetness and matcha flavor. That goes the same with the hojicha, many places have it too milky or watered down that you can't taste the tea, but they did their hojicha well too. Will definitely come back and try their other more unique combinations and standard coffee too! Plenty of parking as it's in a plaza but only downside is there's no seating for you to hang out while having your drink.

    Drinks here are sooo good. Hojicha is good, with a proper tea flavor and not watered down at all. The banana hojicha is super good. Definitely can see why the other reviews rave about it. The black sesame coffee latte didn't have much of a black sesame flavor, even with the black sesame cream mixed in. But the coffee flavor was good. Employees are friendly and prepare the drinks with a sense of urgency. Even with a long line, it wasn't a long wait.

    I always come at 8am when they open to TRY and beat the long lines. So at 8am, i'm standing in line to receiving my order, took 25 minutes. Imagine any other time during the day! But it's worth it. Anything here is absolutely perfect and delicious from their iced coffees to their iced Matcha seriously order anything and you'll love it!

    My banana latte it was so good.

    Finally! I got to try this coffee place! I have tried at least 5 times and all the times the line is at the end of the shopping center where it's located. I took my chances today being a Friday at 10 am to see if I got lucky. I saw a line but it was only like 10 people deep. So I stayed. This place is basically you order your drink and stand outside and wait for it. It doesn't have seating tables . That's probably why the line moves kind of fast. The ladies at the counter and at the register are very friendly and keep the line going pretty good. I ordered the banana coffee with cream tools and it was delicious. I wish they had a bigger size of it. They only have one size. The drink was the perfect consistency of coffee and sweetness. It was so tasty. Definitely coming back but during the week.

    Soo popular even during a weekday theres a line. I think the wait took around 30 minutes and voicing others the drink does come out fast. Its a grab and go place, but theres just one little plaza parking which can be hard to have available spots sometimes. They handwhisk the matcha. The matcha is okay, Its not astrigent and bitter, but not high quality enough to drink plain with water and definitely suits more sweet drinks, has that milky texture with some savoury notes (matcha part just soso) The guava milk part of the drink was soo delicious and creamy, not sure how to put it but it was definitely my first time having like a guava custard flavored drink. So I'd recommend their mixed flavor drinks.

    Blueberry latte & banana matcha
    Calli Y.

    The first time I tried to come here, there was a line out the door. I thought there was a promotion or something but it was just their line. Apparently it's small inside so they only allow 1 group in at a time. So this 2nd time, I decided to stay and wait out the line. I did time it and it took 15 from the time we waited in line to order to getting our drinks. So not bad. I got the blueberry latte less sweet-I enjoyed my drink, first time having blueberry. There was a good amount of blueberry syrup and I'm glad I got it less sweet. My friend go the banana matcha and she liked it. The toasted crunch added was a nice touch. Definitely a treat. SYOY!

    Matcha 3 and Coconut Pandan
    Kevin T.

    Their matcha is high quality and delicious! The matcha 3 has basically 3 servings of matcha! It has a bitterness. The coconut pandan smoothie was ok. It sounds really good on the menu, especially reading the ingredients. But would not get it again. The service is efficient. There was a line and we waited about 25 minutes. And the drinks came out within 10 minutes. Ambiance is a small shop and they sell their own matcha powder and hojicha.

    Banana Matcha
    Ariana L.

    Ok so I've heard a lot of good things about this place so I was really excited to try it! It was such a tough decision choosing which matcha to order since they have so many different flavors, including guava and black sesame which both sound incredible! First off, I want to say that the service was great! 10/10! The people taking my order were so nice and they even brought my drink outside for me. I opted for the banana matcha because I love banana matcha and I've seen people post about it online. To be completely honest I thought it was just okay. I mean the matcha was good, but I actually didn't really like the banana foam by itself. For example, I love Taty's banana cream and could eat that stuff by the spoonful. However, when I mixed it in the matcha it tasted much better for some reason. The toffee bits also add a nice crunch. Overall I'd give it a 6.5/10. I'd definitely be willing to give Ayer another try before forming a conclusive opinion on their matcha. Their matcha quality is good, so I think I just need to try a different drink.

    This place is definitely worth the hype! I ordered the Strawberry Matcha with Sea Salt Cream Foam and the Matcha Latte, and both were delicious. They were sweet, creamy, and had a rich matcha flavor without being overpowering. My favorite was the Strawberry Matcha--the flavors were incredibly well balanced. The fresh strawberry purée added a refreshing, natural sweetness that paired perfectly with the matcha and cream foam. I visited on a Sunday around 11 AM, and the line took about 30 minutes, but it was well worth the wait. The staff were super friendly, and once I ordered, the drinks came out quickly. I'll definitely be back!

    Coconut Pandan Green Rice Drink
    Lisa Y.

    If you see a line out the door, you're in the right place! Ayer can get pretty crowded on weekends, and the parking lot fills up fast. But the line moves pretty steadily! They only allow one party in the shop at a time. You order with one person, and then they send you to the cashier to pay. Once you place your order, the drinks come out pretty quickly. I love a good Blueberry Matcha, so I knew I had to try one. The matcha latte has oat milk and their house blueberry puree. I really enjoyed it! They also have their Matcha Lattes "One," "Two," and "Three." We opted for the Matcha Three which includes salted matcha vanilla ice cream and matcha sorbet, oat milk, and house vanilla syrup. It was pretty good! Lastly, we got the Coconut Pandan Green Rice drink which sounded unique! It's ice blended with coconut cream, pandan coconut rice, and condensed milk. It's a thicker drink with more texture from the rice. I'll be back!

    Blueberry matcha. That is it. Long line!!! but it goes by surprisingly fast. One thing I love is that they make sure that only one group is inside ordering at a time. Once indoors, you can see how they prepare their matcha in a big batch. Love that!! Hence why the line goes by so quickly. I also appreciate the Dairy warning sign on their menu. The person checking me out was such a sweetie. They asked about my weekend plans and sounded genuinely interested, Glad to see they keep a good attitude despite being so busy. Plenty of parking shared with surrounding shops. Would make the long drive to Irvine for this drink!!!!

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.

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.

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.
