5 stars for the fact that they have walnut milk!!!!! jk but definitely helped get 5 stars. i make my own latttes at home with walnut milk but was in the area craving coffee. so glad i came to blk dot! the guy that took my order was really nice, i told him it was my first time there and he gave me tons of good recommendations. i went with a spanish latte with walnut milk and it was delicious! wish there were locations closer to my house.
Got to try the Iced Thai Pumpkin Spice Latte. Its good not great. Plenty sweet which I like but it was very thick like I was drinking egg nogg. Bit pricy that only came in a regular size. The drink needs to be more balanced and lighter. Service friendly.
Great Blk Dot located nestled in between Mendocino Farms and Handel's ice cream at the Tustin Marketplace. The open seating and space in front of the store makes an ideal kid friendly meet-up spot. Came on a Wednesday at 10:30am and it was quit busy with all indoor seating taken. Got the Brekkie Bowl with sausage and Peach Lychee Black Tea, pretty tasty and refreshing.
My first time trying Vietnamese coffee and I loved it. It was rich in flavor and loaded with caffeine... So yes, a good choice if you want to wake up or keep awake for a while. Modern and Cute interior with neutral tones. Bright room with a few seats inside but lots of nice outdoor places to sit right next to the store. The wait was a bit long - definitely longer than the wait time in most major coffee chains ; maybe it's due to their process? I saw a good number of staff working and they all seemed busy so not sure why. But the nice coffee was worth the wait; however, you might need to take that into consideration if you are in a rush.
Dulce LVTM Latte! Sweet with a light kick of Vietnamese coffee, and wonderful hospitality by Sarahi and the team. Airy and chill atmosphere in the store to get some reading in. Thank you!!!
I'm a fan of strong Vietnamese coffee and I wanted to like this place. However, the VTM coffee I got was too sweet even after letting the ice melt and dilute it a bit.
Mendocino next door spoiled me with top notch customer service. As for Blk Dot- I only got "pick up"? Then staff handed me my drinks and that's it. No hello no bye! I wanted to try Mint Chocolate VTM but it was not as great. I suggest sticking to original VTM coffee. Mint Chocolate was smooth tasting but has too many flavors. I'm glad to see their condense milk does not contain seed oil. I'm impressed with their clean restroom and store was organized. Staff was happily chit chatting among each other on an early Sunday morning but no greetings whatsoever to customer walking in or picking up orders. There are seatings outside but this place gets packed with parking and seating during weekend-Always busy especially around lunch time and big events.
After Costco, I was craving an iced coffee, so we went to Blk Dot Coffee. I was so happy we did because our drinks were so good. My husband got the Iced Vanilla Maplenut Latte and I got the Oat Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso. The service was great and the young lady who took my order was helpful and friendly. The inside was lively. I wanted to try their Tiramisu Einspanner. Next time.
I stopped by BLK Dot Coffee in Irvine and overall had a pretty good experience. BLK Dot Coffee serves Vietnamese iced coffee which I found out here --rich, bold, coffee , though it might be a bit sweet if you're not used to it but you can change the sweetness level!! The menu has some other non coffee options, which is nice if you want to try something beyond a basic latte. The shop itself has a clean, modern vibe, but seating is somewhat limited and it gets busy fast, especially during peak hours. Service was efficient, though not particularly warm--it felt more like a grab-and-go kind of place. We got our drinks, headed outside and sat on the lawn. :)) The merchandise's are cute -- check it out.
We were out shopping for our little one and decided to stop by for some matcha and coffee. They had a self-order kiosk, but it was down at the time, so we ended up ordering at the counter instead. I got the Uji Matcha Einspänner, which I'd rate about a 6/10. The matcha flavor was definitely there, and I liked that it wasn't overly sweet, but it didn't really wow me. I was hoping for a creamier texture, and while the cream foam was okay, it didn't elevate the drink much. My boyfriend ordered the VTM Einspänner and really enjoyed it. He said it tasted great, though definitely on the sweeter side. We both swapped our milk for oat, and he added cold foam on top, which they initially forgot--but they fixed it once we let them know. We also tried the guava cream cheese danish, but it wasn't our favorite. The filling didn't really hit for me, and the pastry itself wasn't anything special either. Overall, it was an okay stop--some good, some just average.
Stopped by while at Irvine Spectrum and tried their Mango Matcha. You order at a kiosk which can be more efficient but even when I chose easy ice my drink was 3/4 full of ice. So perhaps it would have been best to speak to a person or maybe the staff do not care what modifications are placed and are just grinding out drinks to keep with the pace. Doesn't feel like a coffee shop where you can grab a nice cup of joe and be greeted but more like an order-to-go coffee shop. The matcha had a good flavor despite the mountain of ice that made it difficult for me to mix the mango on the bottom.
Came to this place twice. Got Iced LVTM both times. First time very good taste, good balance of the flavor. Second time extremely sweet to the point feels a little disgusting to drink. Ended up throwing the whole cup away after couple sips.
I love their iced Spanish latte, very cinnamon. The coffee tastes great, and that's what matters, so thanks for that. Bagel is OK. Ambience is like louder coffee shop with music and people talking catching up vibes. Nice seating to enjoy the weather outside. Located in The Marketplace so there's a lot of parking due to that, Customer service is whatever, at least they work hard; I know what it's like.

Got here mid afternoon on Friday and was hoping to nab a table inside to study at, but it was very busy. Limited indoor seating, but ample tables outside (no outlets outside, and didn't get a good look at whether there were many inside). I wouldn't bank on finding an open table. However, the coffee I ordered was great! I got the iced Spanish Latte with oat milk and really enjoyed the balance of sweet and rich. I'd get coffee here again! read more

We stopped by this place to get a quick drink. My niece needed to do some shopping and we decided to check this spot out. It was fairly busy, quite a few people inside and a couple people in line before us. Ordering was pretty quick. Decor inside was bright and simple. We got 2 drinks: 1. Iced Original Matcha- Culinary grade Uji matcha from Japan with choice of milk. sub half and half instead of milk This drink was pretty good, you definitely could taste the grassiness of the matcha. My niece thought the half and half was too heavy, making it too milky of a drink 3.5/5 2. Iced Yuzu Mango Matcha- Our classic culinary grade mango matcha latte infused with yuzu jam- sub oat milk- We both liked this drink quite a bit more than the ice original Matcha. It had hints of fruitiness with the Yuzu jam. 4.5/5 There were more items on this menu we would have tried. I am curious about their coffee. I can see this place being very popular in the sunny summer days. Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Food: 4/5 read more
I haven't been back to the Blk Dot Coffee in the Tustin Marketplace since they moved to a new space after the plaza's big reconfiguration. The new store feels similar to the old one - high ceilings, an open layout, and a bit more room overall. I usually get their LVTM ($5.95), which is the lighter version of their Vietnamese coffee. It tasted a little too light this time. Maybe it was just a one-off, but if they've changed the recipe, I might need to switch over to the regular VTM for a stronger flavor. I do love how easy it is to order online through their website and parking is pretty easy here. Overall, it's a nice spot to relax and enjoy your coffee. read more
I wanted to explore the newly built area at Marketplace. BLK is known for their Vietnamese coffee, which I like to call "crack coffee". It's strong and creamy and sweet and addictive. I, unfortunately, cannot handle sweet very well so I opted for the hot latte on this beautiful December afternoon just before Xmas. It has a nice and dark profile. Great latte. Lots of lounging area in and outside and plenty of parking everywhere. Please come and create your own adventure. read more
Ordered an iced Vietnamese coffee that was pretty good and strong while sitting at the nearby play area with my kids. Only downfall was that it took a while to get my order. A bit on the pricey side but it is the Irvine spectrum. read more

We tried this place in the Irvine Spectrum Mall. We ordered the iced uji matcha latte and the oat brown sugar shaken espresso. The matcha latte was on the stronger side so it was a little more bitter than other places. I liked the oat brown sugar shaken espresso as it wasn't too sweet but still had strong coffee flavor. Service was friendly and our beverages came quickly. read more

I used to come here before the remodel, and let me just say that it looks much better now and the drinks taste better as well! I got the matcha latte with cold foam, their cold foam takes away from the matcha flavor. I would recommend just getting it without the cold foam if you prefer a stronger taste of matcha like I do read more
My lady friend and I came in before having lunch. She had some sort of coffee that's supposed to be really strong. I'm not a coffee person so I went with the Thai tea latte. I really enjoyed this drink. I would definitely get it again. The lady working was very helpful. They have indoor seating, and lots of shared seating outside. They also have free WI-FI.. read more

My new morning go to spot for a coffee that's going to have me up through work!! Between the Iced VTM & LVTM these two coffees are packed with caffeine that will have your morning productive like no other. Service is fairly fast when popping in person, best option is definitely mobile order just to avoid any coffee rushes for the early morning office folks running late to work This place has a nice modern and fresh vibe which makes it comfy to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee if you have some free time. read more

So excited to have a blk dot next door to my house! All of their coffees and matcha are so tasty. My fav is a classic hot Vanilla latte. My sister is vegan and got a hot cinnamon latte with Oat milk. She said the vegan milk options were nice as it can be hard to find a place with variety. I had a few questions about a few different drinks and they took the time to answer them all. My goto place for coffee! read more

Love Blk Dot! I didn't realize this location had reopened after all of the remodeling in the area, so I'm really excited to see this! Today I had the LVTM at half sweet, which surprisingly was still kind of sweet. I also tried the Avocado Toast for the first time which came on a really fresh, fluffy bread. This location has a grass/courtyard area for kids and dogs to walk around which is nice for families. read more

Have been meaning to try Blk Dot for awhile! Finally stoped in to their new location at the Tustin Market Place. The coffee shop is small, modern, with 4-5 tables inside. You can order at the counter or place your order on one of two tablets near the doors when you walk in. They have a large menu with seasonal coffee drinks and flavors. I tried the Maple Nut Latte, the coffee was bitter for my taste and the flavorings just weren't enough to complement the coffee itself. I know Blk Dot is a popular chain, it just wasn't a hit for me! Stop in and try for yourself! read more
Sunday morning wasn't super busy and there was plenty of outdoor seating. My boyfriend got the Iced VTM and I got a Mango Delight Green Tea. Both drinks were good. The BEC could have had a little more bacon but I found it really tasty. Overall everything was good and the outdoor seating made this a perfect Sunday morning spot. read more

Ask the Community - Blk Dot Coffee
Do they allow in door seating?
No indoor seating, but there's outdoor seating at that location.
Does anybody know the caffeine content in their decaf iced coffee? I loved it and it tasted pretty strong so it kind of got me thinking lol?
The strength of the flavor of coffee does not indicate caffeine content. Though I'm not sure the exact amount of caffeine left in their decaf, it is very little by the standard used to determine decaf drinks.
Does this place allow dogs on the inside, outside, or both? How clean are floors inside & outside? Thank ;)
The place is very clean but like any place that serves food, you cannot have your dog inside; it's the law. There's plenty of outside seating where dogs are allowed that's shared with the other eateries though.
