    Strong Vietnamese coffee. Good flavors and choices. Just getting into the coffee scene but no complaints here!

    This time I got a large Americano with "a bit of cream and sugar". I tasted it and then asked for one extra packet of sugar. Perfect! Although next time I might also get an extra shot added. This is the approach to take so that you have more control over your beverage, because their regular coffee is already heavily sugared and creamed out. I also tried the chocolate chip cookie and it was decent.

    Tasty coffee! I got an idea Vietnamese coffee sweet. Service was friendly and fast and prices were fair. Atmosphere is cute.

    Definitely was tricky trying to find where the shop was, but I ultimately parked at the google parking garage then walked over! It's across from the Equinox and we get parking validation! I got the Iced VTM Latte Einspanner and my boyfriend got the VTM Coffee. Definitely changed my perspective on Einspanners and now I love it even more! The price is hefty here but the drink was deliciously made T-T I also got the Ultimate Sausage Bagel and WOW was it worth it. The portion for the price was a lot, but it did fill me up. Service was amazing. The lovely girl took her time while I was stumpped with the options they had. With multiple locations, it's worth trying!

    This blk dot coffee shop is located in the middle of Google center. You have to park in the parking structure but they give you validation! Service/Ambiance: It's a cute, clean coffee shop. There's a few small tables but not really ideal for studying. The girl who helped me out was very friendly, and accommodated me when I wanted more sweetness in my matcha einspanner. Drink/Food Consensus: We ordered the VTM einspanner and the uji matcha einspanner. Both drinks were great. The matcha could have been stronger and it needed sugar. I got some vanilla syrup in it and it was good. My boyfriend really loved the vietnamese coffee einspanner. We both really loved the ultimate brekkie bowl. It was very refreshing and the seasoning on the potatoes and tomatoes was perfect. All the elements of the bowl worked well together. It was definitely overpriced at $14 but honestly in Irvine, I'm not that surprised. I would get it again. Overall, we would come back!

    Vietnamese ice coffee was good. Would suggest ordering ahead of time if visiting on the weekend. They were very busy on Saturday

    Iced Peppermint VTM

    I can't really overstate how bummed I was when the Blk Dot on Von Karman closed -it was so much closer and easier to get to from my house!! I really wish they would reopen that location. But luckily, I'm still able to order my VTM from this location. I branched out and tried their Peppermint VTM this time. Chefs kiss. Truly, so delicious and such a fun, seasonal twist on a classic favorite. I haven't visited this location in person but my coffee arrived cold and my BEC was delicious (jalapeño cheese bagel was sooo good).

    A chain coffee shop located downstairs from Google's office, the store is quite small and closes at 3:00 PM. It's a suitable spot for friends working nearby to take a break, enjoy a cup of coffee, and chat. The taste of the coffee is average, not much different from other brands, and the price is similar to Starbucks. However, the ambiance and decor are significantly less impressive, making the overall value for money just average. 翻译成英文:位于谷歌公司楼下的一家连锁咖啡厅,店面很小,下午15:00就关门了,很适合附近工作的朋友小憩时喝杯咖啡聊聊天,咖啡味道一般,和其它品牌没有什么区别,价格喝星巴克也差不多,但氛围和装修却差了一大截,性价比一般

    I came to this location on Saturday noon and was it was quiet. The coffee shop was hidddn but next to Hilton hotel where I was attending a conference. The coffee shop was super clean and super cute. I love the outside area. I tried uji matcha and it wasn't bad. I like my matcha little bit more thicker and more matcha powder. Service was good and just enjoy the vibe of the area. Perfect place to relax with delicious drink or catch up with friend

    Iced VTM Coffee
    Aaron M.

    The BEST Vietnamese ice coffee. Hands down. I literally crave this! This is my second time here and totally worth it! (I mean it's only $6-$7) The shop is clean and reminds of an upscale boba place. Not like a real sit down cafe. But they do have toasts and other coffees on the menu. Definitely worth checking out especially if you like Vietnamese coffee! This location is pretty much in an outdoor mall so there's plenty of things to do while enjoying your drink!

    Spanish latte 10/10 I love it !! Really great. Nice employees. Service takes a bit longer if you order food I would say the menu and food items need to be improved I mainly go for coffee but would like to sometimes get a bit I just don't think the price matches the food quality.

    Regular size hot LVTM ($5.45). My favorite drink from here! 6/13/2023

    This is such a nice hidden gem! It's tucked away next to the Google building, so you can't see it from the main street. You have to park in the Google parking structure and get validated at BLK Dot. They give you an hour for free, but there was a really nice worker here who gave me an additional hour of validation because I stayed past the one hour. I always get a regular size hot LVTM ($5.45), and it is good here. I initially didn't want to come because I feared the whole parking situation, but it's really not bad, and they do give one or more hours of validation! :)

    Ultimate Brekkie Bowl
    Binh L.

    This location is super close to my workplace so I find myself stopping by pretty frequently in the mornings. I always ordered either the iced or hot thai tea latte depending on what I'm feeling. I usually like the drink, but there have been times where it tasted really watered down. I also like to order the ultimate breakfast bowl. The potatoes in it are stale sometimes, but I still like it overall! Definitely pricier in regards to the portion sizes--i was surprised when I saw their large-sized cup, it's a lot smaller than what I'm used to and the breakfast bowl is almost $14. Inside is kind of small with limited seating. On the other hand, service is tends to be pretty quick and friendly.

For our drinks, we got two signature drinks: *lucky matcha* and *cookie butter latte* They're both on the sweeter side but still good. They live up to the name and description.

My favorite part was the pickled onions. I'd definitely get it again. And the *breakfast burrito* is okay. Nothing outstanding - they did tell us they get them made a day before and they warm up upon order.

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!
