    Iced Vanilla Chai Lattevanilla
    Sylvie C.

    I really should have read the other reviews before ordering from Blk Dot Coffee. I like my drink with light ice / easy ice because I have sensitive teeth. I had no idea that ordering with less ice entails at least an inch worth of drink subtracted along with it. The parking at this location can be a bit confusing if you are there the first time. I just parked in the 15 minute parking space as I was just swinging by to pick up my online order. Now the drink itself tasted extremely sweet. I was surprised given the shop being an Asian drink place. It also tasted like the canned powdered chai I had in the past from Trader Joe's of all places. Perhaps I will attempt getting other coffee drinks with regular amounts of ice or something. I am unsure if I just got the wrong drink or what but......not sure if I will return or not again even though their marketing presentation looks beautiful on their website.

    Uji Matcha Latte Einspnner

    The cafe can be a little tricky to find, but it's located in the center near the fountain. Plenty of outdoor seating around the office buildings. I got the Uji Matcha Einspanner. The matcha was pretty good quality. Parking is not intuitive at all, so I hope this review will help others. You can park inside the structure which will give you a ticket. Blk Dot will give you another ticket for validation. When you exit the parking structure, you need to insert the first ticket and then the validated ticket. If you insert only the validated ticket, you will receive an error.

    Your usual and every day BLK Dot. It's located at the Canvas in Costa Mesa. It can be tricky knowing where to park here but you can simple park in the building for canvas and get your ticket validated. I believe the validation is for an hour but not sure if it's more than that. I usually always get their Original Vietnamese Coffee which is delicious and bold just the way it should be. Along with that they have other refreshing drinks as well like the Strawberry Lychee. The shop is small but there's a little seating or waiting area along with a nice outdoor seating around the fountain which adds a great ambiance. It's a great place to relax with a nice drink on a warm day.

    Spanish latte with caramel and cinnamon
    Hannah K.

    I usually come to Black Dot Coffee when I'm around my friend's place, and I really enjoy their Spanish Latte with caramel and cinnamon--so good! This time I decided to try the avocado toast. It was a little on the bland side, but not bad overall. I might get it again, maybe with an extra topping to give it a little more flavor . Customer service was great--super friendly and helpful in recommending the toast . I also noticed their baked goods looked really fresh and tempting, so I'll probably try those next time. Overall, I'd give this visit a 7/10. Pretty good experience and worth checking out if you're in the area

    I stopped by BLK Dot Coffee while staying at a nearby hotel, and I'm so glad I did. It's located inside the Canvas building, and there's a garage parking available. They also offer one hour of free Wi-Fi. I ordered the yuzu mango matcha (even though I didn't see it on the menu). It was refreshing, not too sweet and still taste the matcha flavor. The person who took my order and made the drink was really friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. They have so many coffee options on the menu, and the prices are very reasonable. There's plenty of outdoor seating too, so it's a great spot to chill or get some work done. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in Irvine.

    Iced Iced Uji Matcha Latte, Iced Sea Salt Cold Brew, Iced Caramel Macchiato

    Nice cute quiet cafe. It was pretty empty on a Sunday morning and our drinks came out super fast. My Carmel macchiato with oat milk and breakfast sausage bowl were amazing!

    About to go in the trash :(

    I really want to love this place and would come more often... I come here as a special treat on my days off because it's expensive but usually feels indulgent and fun. I always order the LVTM with less ice and pay for an extra pour. This time was a big disappointment. My drink had at least three finger widths of empty space at the top even though I paid for an extra 2 oz. I know there's also a 4 oz option, which I often choose, but no matter what, there always seems to be room left. If you're charging extra per ounce, the pours and ice should be consistent, otherwise it feels arbitrary and overpriced. When I asked if it could be filled properly, (and said I really don't mind paying for the difference I just want a full drink) the barista topped it off with plain whole milk, which completely diluted the drink and made it taste gross. When I asked "oh is that how it's done?" I was told "yeah, it's company policy, you have to pay for 4oz." At that point there was nothing to be done, and after a few sips, I'll be throwing the drink away. I don't mind paying premium prices, but I do mind paying over $9 for an inconsistently made drink that isn't corrected properly. If this is truly company policy, it should be explained more clearly upfront.

    I would highly recommend the Spanish Latte. I tried it in a hot and the spices were perfect. A very smooth, coffee taste. I look forward to trying more of the options.

    If you want light ice they completely low ball your drink. It's practically a regular size and if you want a splash more of oat milk they'll charge you yet another $1 more. Also very unfriendly and cold service.

    I enjoy blkdot, but the one previously closest to my apartment was always closed on the weekends. Happy to see this is super close to me and open on the weekends! Yay! The only issue is parking is inside of a parking garage, and it's an automatic $3 for 30 minutes. Upon entering the shop, there was no greeting by either one of the baristas. I ordered my drinks and tipped. Upon receiving my drinks I asked if they validated, and they did. However, when trying my ticket it kept saying invalid ticket. I ended up having to pay $4.50 for all of the trouble. Overall, I do enjoy this coffee and atmosphere, and would definitely frequent this shop if the validation works in the future.

At the Costa Mesa location, parking was a little tricky at first, but after circling we got lucky with a corner spot. The location itself is SO cute! It's right next to colorful barrel fountains, and on a sunny day it honestly felt like the perfect coffee outing. The line was pretty long and you are standing in direct sun, so just keep that in mind, but the service was quick and efficient once you order. Inside, it's small but really charming, with Sunny Angels hidden around and a very open, friendly vibe. My sister (who is basically a professional coffee drinker at this point ) got the matcha and said it was her favorite, which says a lot. I got the iced Spanish latte with oat milk, and it was SO good. Spanish lattes are my go-to, and this one had the perfect hint of cinnamon without being overly sweet. Even as the ice melted, it still tasted great, which is rare. The Torrance location was just as good! Parking was easier, the space is bigger, and the service was still super friendly and fast. My husband got the cold brew "Nook way" and finished it in like 10 minutes. He said it tasted like Golden Grahams cereal. Highly recommend both locations and especially the Spanish latte. Definitely worth the visit!

There is a QR code that takes you to a site where you fill out a form to request the space. Now, these requests are handled specifically by the church not the coffee spot. Although it is in the same area. The staff is super friendly. The restrooms are always clean. Handicap friendly. Not necessarily kid friendly because a lot of people come here to study and work, and its also all concrete and hazards for the small ones, but I have seen people do like babies on strollers type of gathering.

Despite being relatively close to two major colleges - OCC and UCI - this place wasn't as crowded as you'd imagine it would be. They serve coffee, matcha, breakfast foods like breakfast burritos, protein bowls, avocado toasts - but I didn't pick anything to eat since I already had lunch. I shared with the barista that it was my first time here, and he asked what type of drink I was looking for. I told him something iced and caffeinated - and he mentioned his favorite was the Honey Cinnamon Latte - which I opted for - iced, with oat milk. Total was $8.50 including tip. My iced Honey Cinnamon Latte was yummy, creamy, and fantastic! With the oat milk substitute, it sorta tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch in liquid coffee form. It wasn't overly sweet, definitely had a nice kick to it - love this recommendation by the barista! I checked out the rest of the space and used their restroom to wash my hands - it's really a neat space here. Lots of seating. Lots of space. There's an adjacent room that's connected to the cafe called "Flow Space" - which is utilized for small popups and arts & crafts. Neat spot for smaller community members to showcase their wares. Some of the other reviews mentioned no a/c - which had me worried considering we were having a bit of a heatwave lately - but to my pleasant surprise, A/C was on and cold! It was a great escape from the heat. Free wifi - fast enough for a zoom call if you need to hop into one - my speedtest reported download speeds of 17.5MB/s Restroom is clean and well maintained. Plenty of parking - of course, I stopped by a little after 2pm, so already avoiding the tail end of the lunch rush. Only downside is they close kinda early - 4pm - but open up at 7am. Great spot! Will probably be my go-to considering there's ample workspace, plenty of parking, less crowded than other coffee spots in the immediate area. I'm curious to try their matcha the next time I'm here, as well as possibly their breakfast burritos, since photos for that looks delicious.
