Excellent Vietnamese coffee. Lots of locations. I wish they had more in Los Angeles county. Quick service and nice coffee shop feel.

Great spot if you're into matcha and need a place to get things done or meet up with someone. I ordered a matcha and it definitely hit -- smooth, flavorful, and well made. There's plenty of seating, which I really liked. It's a solid place for working, taking meetings, or just hanging out. Parking was easy, which is always a big plus in this area. The staff was friendly and welcoming too. Another thing I appreciated was the location -- surrounded by tons of eateries, so you've got options if you want to grab food before or after. The outdoor seating was especially nice since it was a beautiful day. Also, free WiFi worked well, which made it even better for getting work done. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the music was a bit too loud for me. It made it tough to focus and hear clearly during phone calls. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would come back again. read more

Finally, a decent coffee shop in Irvine! BLK Dot Coffee has delicious matcha and quality coffee. I highly recommend grabbing some of their beans. My husband made some coffee with their beans and even after a month, it's still tastes amazing. The staff are friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit even better. Definitely one of my go-to spots for a good cup of coffee in Irvine! read more

Liked the VTM Coffee Einspanner. The classic VTM was very good too, though quite strong and nutty. My daughter reported she could feel the coffee in her nose! read more

Stopped by for an afternoon coffee on a weekday. My wife just got a hot oatmilk latte. She really enjoyed it. Service was quick and the their coffee is pretty good. Definitely better than other options at the spectrum like Starbucks. read more

Stop - don't waste your money! This place charges you full price for a cold brew that they 2would not fill up to the top. When asked why they told me they can only pour to the line. I watched her pour to the half way line that is marked on the coffee cup. None and I mean none of the other coffee shops in town do this. I only drink black cold brew and I love trying new places but this one will be on my constant - DO NOT GO!!! They are ripping you off!! read more

I've been to a few Blk Dot Coffees before, and decided to try this spot when catching up with a friend. The store was clean, and has a modern design, very similar to its sister locations. I got the Vietnamese coffee, and y'all it was strong, but in a good way! I think halfway through the drink, I was starting to get really jittery. The Viet coffee was pretty strong, but doesn't have as milky of a texture as a regular Viet coffee would. This location has limited seating, but I do love that they have outlets and wifi so you could study or get some work done. It's located in the newly renovated Tustin/Irvine Marketplace area, with lots of parking spaces, and outdoor seating. There's a shared green turf space in front of the business, so it's a great place to grab a coffee and hangout. read more

Blk Dot Coffee, Irvine - Solid spot for good coffee with quick service. The ambiance is cool and relaxed, with plenty of chairs to sit back and unwind. Free parking is a big plus. There's also an outdoor space where kids can play, which makes it family-friendly. Bonus points for the location: Handel's Ice Cream is right next door, and Regal Cinemas too. Mendinco farms is right beside as well.Great place to grab a coffee and hang out for a bit. read more

Coffee lovers, here's your update: Blk Dot Coffee is officially re-open at the Tustin Marketplace--right across from the movie theatre. If you need a serious caffeine boost, try the VTM--Blk Dot's take on traditional Vietnamese coffee. It's slowly dripped, highly caffeinated, and bold enough to power your day. Prefer something seasonal? The pumpkin lattes are here. And don't skip the food--avocado toast and the fiesta bowl are perfect if you're hungry. Whether it's your morning ritual or a pre-movie pick-me-up, consider this your go-to spot in Tustin. read more

I've been to a lot of coffee shops, and BLK Dot is easily my current favorite. Their Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso is the best I've had, and I love that they also offer breakfast options. The service is always friendly, and it's become one of my go-to spots. read more

Really high quality drinks, fast service, comfortable sitting space and good vibe in a great location.

Huge bummer. I paid an extra $1 for the large iced coffee. The coffee was good but after 5 sips all the coffee was gone. Looks like I paid $7 total for a cup of ice. Probably won't be coming back again. read more

Blk Dot Coffee - Ridiculous amount of ice in coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

Nop nop nop. Coffee does not have to taste burnt to be delicious. It's not stronger, it's just burnt. Please if you want your shop to thrive look into using counter culture coffee or similar. You'll never look back. The beans you're using are over roasted, dare I say charred. Also, I ordered a flat white and there was no microfoam, it was a overheated cappuccino :/ read more

I love this place. It's a must go if you are at spectrum. The service is great and fast considering they are always super busy. Their Vietnamese coffee is super tasty. Keep in mind that Vietnamese coffee is Very strong. read more

Outside of Garden Grove I think they have the best iced Vietnamese coffee you could ask for. Strong, bitter, and just sweet enough.

Asked for light ice and watched her fill up more than half the cup then watched them laugh about it.

Employees need more training. Overprice and took so long to get the drink and food. Would not come back read more

What an awesome experience. The staff was polite and helpful in choosing my drink. Have to say that whoever made my drink it was the best iced Oat Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso I've had. Better than Starbucks. My wife had the Matcha Mango and she said it was delicious. The atmosphere was relaxing and quaint. read more

Vietnamese Coffee is so good. This is the spot to quench your thirst for super strong coffee. We are talking black as oil coffee with condensed milk. I picked the strongest level and I had to wait over a few hours to finish drinking it. There are places to sit down and do work. I noticed they have a few items on the menu. Next time I will check those out. read more

This place is delicious! Not only are the drinks good, but the food and service are great as well. They have a location in Tustin Market and also the spectrum. The thai tea is very sweet, but delicious. There are no customizations to sweetness or milk for this drink, but it is made great! Their grilled cheese has tons of flavors and multiple cheeses in it and is not you average grilled cheese! Highly recommend. read more

Would not make a drink (hot americano) to put in a personal cup (stainless steel). Not sure why, the nice, young lady at the counter asked and just said they "couldn't do it." Got it. read more

Coffee is good. But bagel with cream cheese was highly overpriced. My goodness I could have bought 1/2 dozen and a full can of cream cheese for the price of one. read more

Good coffee, but I really need them to improve the online pickup process. I totally get the busy morning rush, however, once an online order is actually made they set it to the side. Today I waited by the bar, gave the barista my name, and she looked around briefly saying it was still being worked on. The issue is that once everyone waiting on orders clears out, i'm waiting another 7 minutes on my one drink while they're making 15+ drinks with no one waiting in person. I don't want to bother since I already checked in, but I finally reminded the same girl of my name and she pulled it from on top of the counter where it had been sitting. For the guest, this is uncomfortable because we wait patiently but the name is never called out for a chance to pick up the finished drink, before you eventually have to physically wave down someone to check again. This is my experience every time and given the high volume, baristas could simply announce the name once a drink is finished, or check in with the guests waiting when there's no in house orders. read more

Good freaking stuff here. i like the matcha i like the tea i like the tablets. vtm coffee is also good so im a big fan.

If I made this review when I first visited Irvine's Blk Dot Coffee some months back, it would have been an easy 5 star review. In fact, it was one of spots I was excited to return to when I came back to visit a second time. I came to Blk Dot and ordered a Sea Salt Latte, not just once but two different time, and unfortunately each time left me with such stomach cramps that I had not felt before at this location. I'm not sure what happened or if the recipe changed but it certainly did not agree with me anymore. Which is a shame because it's such a cute little shop. I was just wondering if there might have been a change in recipe the past two or so months that could explain the way I was feeling? read more

Ordered a Lychee Peach tea w/ chia seeds & lychee jelly (half sweet) and it was better than I expected! I think it's quite a simple drink compared to what you can get customized at a boba shop, but for the price, I'm content. It's not overly sweet w/ the sweetness customization and was a quick fix. Location is at Tustin Marketplace, very accessible and convenient. Quick service as well as having a few tables to work/study at. I would say that the music is a bit on the louder side, so keep that in mind if you're trying to study. read more

Stopped in to get my coffee fix this morning. We had the uji matcha eispanner and the Vietnamese coffee. I definitely enjoyed the Vietnamese coffee and the matcha was good. We also had the sausage bagel which was a bit on the greasy side but overall all was tasty. It definitely is in a nice area of the marketplace with lots of seating outside. Service was good as well and they were very helpful. read more

The cafe itself is really cute, and I especially loved the sleeves! My friend and I tried the regular Vietnamese and the light Vietnamese coffee, and they were really strong with a slight sour taste. I'd definitely recommend drinking after or while eating food to avoid an upset stomach! read more

Came here 3 times now, first time was magical great drinks & great staff - the last two times it has been horrid. Coffee should be strong not burnt was burnt both times and was not heard apparently after saying I have a dairy allergy. Had a drink remade they gave me something totally different and was nothing like what I ordered the first time disappointed i. The lack of consistency & quality. Wish every time was like the first. Won't be returning. read more

Been many times. Awesome selection. Vietnamese coffee is worth a try! Bagels are better than some bagel shops I've been to. Check them out.

I spotted a line from a distance and knew that must be the coffee shop lol. VTM Tiger ($7) - regular size, Vietnamese coffee with brown sugar syrup and brown sugar jelly. The coffee was strong and although there was brown sugar syrup it wasn't too sweet. The jelly was a nice chew and reminded me of the Japanese style coffee jelly drink. My only comment is the order line and main waiting section was in the same area so it was a bit of a maneuver to exit after ordering. read more

Personally, I love Vietnamese coffee so when I stumbled upon Blk Dot Coffee that specializes in it, I had to try it! I ordered the matcha VTmatcha and it was great! I still got the hint of Vietnamese coffee but the drink has strong matcha flavor as well! Inside the coffee shop was busy with people chatting or going in and out with their drink orders! There were quite a few people working so they were pushing out drinks pretty quickly which I appreciated! The coffee shop is clean and bright and a nice place to chill but a bit crowded for me as a study spot but I saw a good amount of people on their laptops! read more

Came shopping at the Spectrum and stopped by Blk Dot to try. It was a little packed in there and the store wasn't too big. The line went by quick. I ordered the Iced Spanish Latte and it was on the stronger side but the flavor was excellent. read more

Third café of the day! The Vietnamese iced coffee was super good (again, a little sweet but I'm not the biggest sweet tooth!) and the flavor of the coffee really came through. The music is funky and indie, and the baristas are super fast and nice (again, a trend across OC I've noticed!). A little overpriced in my opinion (5.75 for a small) but I definitely got my money's worth in terms of ambiance and service. There's a really pretty view of the fountain in the plaza from inside. The seating is really comfortable-- I personally really liked the big leather bench. It has three tables in front of it and so you can really sprawl out without bothering anyone else. Tons of outlets and fast WiFi. Parking is no-hassle. Even though it's within a shopping district, it feels like an easy little oasis. I could easily stay here all day and get my work done. The lighting is also super nice as someone who is migraine prone. A real nice golden tone but not so dark that you get sleepy: just enough to feel luxurious and relaxing. Yet another great café to add to the list! read more
