    Banana hojicha
    Jessica D.

    The line is always long but it's sooo worth it! Their banana hojicha is so good and I love the toffee bits. Their matcha is really good too.

    Pumpkin pie matcha and salted Saigon
    Maynard O.

    Came here on a Friday afternoon and the line was pretty healthy. Finding a parking spot wasn't bad and we waited about 30 mins. Not much of an ambience since you just order and wait for your drinks. My wife and I ordered the pumpkin pie matcha and salted Saigon. The drinks came out super quick! BELIEVE THE HYPE. Both of these drinks were AMAZING. The pumpkin puree was real and tasted like actual pumpkin, unlike the other coffee spots that sell fake pumpkin sauce. The salted saigon is probably the best Vietnamese coffee I've ever had. No exaggeration.

    Matcha 2
    Bubu N.

    I wanted to hate this place because how long the wait was but when we finally got to the front we got a matcha 2, and a Saigon drip. I'm so upset the matcha here was so fire cause now I have to wait in the stupid long line again. Coffee was good too very nutty but the matcha was the star so def recommend getting one. Service was also very nice, she brought our drinks out to us.

    Banana matcha
    Yerim S.

    I was impressed by the variety of coffee and matcha drinks that are here! You could have a range of fruity and tropical drinks to more rich, spice forward drinks. Because it was Summer, I opted for the guava Matcha because it sounded very refreshing. I was surprised with how not too sweet and light it was, but it was still packed with wonderful guava flavor. I was more impressed that they hand whisk every Matcha drink in a bowl, but still, they deliver with speed, efficiency, and quality. My sister got the Matcha with banana and that one was very good. You can tell they use real banana. My only thing is I believe the bananas weren't ripe enough, but I know that it is hard to always have the perfect ripeness for bananas because of demand. This is definitely a grab and go establishment. There is no inside seating or bathrooms. I do advise you to use the bathroom before because all the restaurants nearby will not allow you to use the restroom unless you make a purchase. I definitely want to try the coffee drinks next time because their name has coffee in the title so I should try what they are known for by name!

    OVERALL : This was my second time at Ayer. The first time I tried their classic matcha latte w/ matcha foam, mango matcha, and strawberry matcha. The drinks were perfectly creamy esp w/ oat milk, and matcha was strong enough to hold up against all the different flavors. There's always a line out the door on a weekend afternoon, but we only waited about 20 mins and the drinks were well worth the wait. Service was super friendly and helpful w/ reccs. Note that this is more of a take-and-go spot, not for sitting inside. PARKING : There is a parking lot but it is small; might need to make some rounds before you can find a spot. The plaza gets pretty crowded during peak hours! FOOD/DRINKS : Guava Matcha Latte - sweet and refreshing, the guava doesn't overpower the matcha taste and it's a good summer drink! strawberry is prob still my go to though when I want a fruity matcha Pumpkin Matcha Latte - their fall seasonal drink! so surprisingly good - this reminded me of a pumpkin pie esp with the prominent pumpkin taste + the warm fall spices! Would def get again.

    Got the Matcha Two and would say that it's just alright. The lines outside are long but moves quickly. I do appreciate how efficient the workers are in taking orders and making the drinks.

    Matcha Two
    Jasmine T.

    We'd driven past countless times and there was always a line, so we finally stopped in. The wait is real, and it comes from two things. The ordering setup is inefficient -- you give your order to one employee who writes it on the cup, then repeat the whole thing to a second employee to pay. That part could easily be streamlined. But the other reason is that they hand-whisk the matcha fresh to order, and I'll give them full credit for that. Most places don't bother. You can tell they care about the process. Which makes it harder to say this: the matcha itself just wasn't good. It came out grainy with an artificial taste. I ordered the salted vanilla matcha cream top, and the vanilla and milk powder flavor overpowered whatever matcha was underneath. Three stars because the effort and intention are clearly there -- it's the execution on the matcha that missed for me. They're a roaster, so the coffee is probably the stronger order, and I'd try that next time.

    coconut coffee
    Claudia H.

    coconut iced coffee - should've asked for much less sweet, it's super sweet but I like the coconutiness I also tried a bit of the mango matcha (less less sweet) and it was better than I expected actually there was quite a bit of a line but it went by pretty fast staff is very friendly

    Mango Matcha
    Jacob ..

    Got the Mango Matcha and it was amazing! This place always has a line but I would say it is completely worth it. The service is always fast and super friendly. It is a small little shop and parking can be better but overall a must try in Tustin!

    Blueberry Matcha and Banana Coffee
    Megan C.

    As someone who just flew down from the Bay Area, my goal is to try out different drink stops every time I visit. I was hesitant at first because of how long the line looked, but after some easy self-convincing I ended up joining that line, and I do not regret it all. I visited on a Wednesday early afternoon, and the line was already long. Usually not surprised it has a lime because of the fact that they close early. I waited 30 mins total to order and get my drink, which wasn't terrible. You order with 1 worker, she writes it down on the cup, and then you go and pay right after, and then someone brings the drink out to you, which was very nice! Since I was alone, and I'm not local, I decided to treat myself and get 2 drinks, the blueberry matcha and their banana coffee. And it was amazing!! Couldn't stop chugging both of them. Loved loved each of their flavors. So very highly recommended if you are into sweeter drinks or flavored drinks!

    Pretty solid coffee and really really good matcha per my wife LOL. I'm not a huge matcha person so I can't really tell the difference, but she told me it's worth the hype! Don't get discouraged when you see the line outside. They only let 1-3 people inside at a time to order so everyone has to wait outside. I was at the end of the 1st/2nd store? and it only took about 10min to order. There was about 10-13 people in front of me. Then it took about another 10min to get my order, so it wasn't a terrible wait. Ordered Banana Coffee - 4/5 - nothing crazy viet coffee with bananas, but one of the better ones Matcha 1 - for pure matcha flavors Matcha 2 - for some light dressing on the matcha salted matcha foam Salted Bread - 3/5 idk just tasted like bread with butter/salt LMAO Personally if I have to wait 30min+ i wouldn't but if you can get there early and it's only around 10min wait I think it's a solid spot.

    Pumpkin Pie Matcha
    Trinity T.

    There is a reason why this place is so popular. Lines are always long, parking is a hit or miss. But the drinks make it soooo worth it. I keep coming back regardless of the line and parking. It's definitely worth the hype. The matcha's I've tried are Blueberry, Banana, Guava, and Pumpkin Pie. My favorite would probably be the Blueberry! I always keep coming back for more. You won't be disappointed!

    Helen D.

    This place is defiantly very very popular at the moment but for good reason. Ive been seeing this place on all the top matcha lists in OC and it has contention for sure. My only critic is that the matcha itself is a little gritty. I got a guava matcha latte and the color is amazing and the taste of the matcha itself has a subtly sweetness that everyone can get behind. The gritty texture may be due to the mass production that they are handling for the growing line. Regardless it was worth the hour wait! My bf loved their banana viet coffee and wishes we got 2 of those to begin with. I believe all the coffees are made with viet coffee bases but i could be wrong.

Your price of admission gets you either a drink or French macaron. I went with my kids and we tried each others and all were delicious. The cat cafe itself is easy to reserve and pay ahead. It is very organized. When you get there the cat cafe is clean and there are many places to sit and the cats are spread out. The only thing I'd improve on is to give some of the cats the special collars (like they have at other cat cafe's) to let us know if the cats aren't friendly. There were 2 cats in particular that were kind of scary trying to pick fights and scratch both other cats and humans. Also my best tip is to wear disposable socks you are cool with throwing away since you have to take off your shoes and your socks get all cat hair and dirty.

It was hands down one of the best lattes I've ever had. I also tried the breakfast croissant and a few other goodies, and everything was delicious.

I'll definitely be back for another honey vanilla latte!

    First, for those newer to OC, a little history lesson about Kean…read more Kean was founded by coffee pioneer Martin Diedrich and his wife Karen. Martin Diedrich is the original founder of Diedrich Coffee, which was sold to Starbucks in 2006, and opening the Tustin location marked a return to the exact site of his very first full-scale Diedrich Coffee coffeehouse. So when you come to Kean, you are coming to a special place that is tied to the history of coffee in The O.C. Needless to say the coffee is roasted in-house and is excellent. I always buy an oatmilk latte here, and the coffee taste is deep and aromatic. Definitely one of the best in Orange County for the pure quality of its coffee. For Orange County, the location has a nice community vibe. Eclectic mix of tables, but there aren't always enough of them, so it always seems packed. Staff are always extremely nice. Appreciating the history, great coffee, and community feel is one thing, but you should know in advance that they do not offer wifi here. That is my only complaint and the only reason this gets a 5 and not a 4 star. I suppose if they want to maintain a certain vibe they don't want people working there, but I would be happy even with a one-hour time limit on wifi usage.

    My family and I have been patrons of Cream Pan in Tustin for nearly two decades now, even before…read morethe TikTok strawberry croissant craze and even before it opened more locations like in Fountain Valley and Lomita. The quality has just been so utterly consistent. These baked goods truly taste rustic and homemade; I believe the freshness is guaranteed and everything is baked daily. I always buy the shuku pan to make sandwiches my daily lunches and the country bread/sourdough for my avocado toast and breakfasts. The sandwiches made in-house are also recommended especially the chicken katsu and the assorted ham/tuna/egg salad. I like the croquette and egg salad in a bun especially. All of these are savory and flavorful yet subtle. I also recommend any of the pastries including curry pan, melon pan, and of course the strawberry croissants but beyond that I also really like the strawberry banana croissant and blueberry croissant. There is also a selection of drinks made in-house café-style as well as bottled Japanese drinks. The staff are friendly and I really like the space even though it's small. You can find seating outside especially if you avoid rush hours. Of all the three locations, this one is my favorite because it's so rustic and historic and really fits in with the overall vibe and aesthetic of Old Town Tustin and the El Camino Real. Please check this bakery out; it's one of the best in all of SoCal in my opinion.

Many of them contain alcohol, which makes it difficult for families with children, as well as guests who don't consume alcohol for personal or religious reasons.

I really hope Cream Pan will consider offering more alcohol-free versions so everyone can enjoy these beautiful desserts. We love coming here and would love to see more options for all guests.
