    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.

    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

    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 coffee

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

    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
    Brittany T.

    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).

    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!

    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! :)

    Uni Uji Matcha Latte Einspanner
    Cony L.

    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

    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.

    Maylene D.

    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.

    Ask the Community - Blk Dot Coffee

    Can anyone tell me what's in their house creamer? Is it the non-dairy one with all the chemicals?

    Based on your reviews, you sound like a USC student.

    Do they have decafs coffee and decaf tea options?

    Yes they have decaf and a few tea options.

    Do they have outlets and wifi?

    Yes

    Anyone know if they are open today (Black Friday)?

    I don't see why they wouldn't be.

    Do they have gluten free baked goods?

    Yes

    Where else can I park if the parking structure is completely full?

    There is no street parking and no proper alternative parking nearby other than the structure.

    How long would they validate parking for?

    The validation they give is for an hour!

    Why is everyone posting a picture of their coffee drink as if some brown liquid in a plastic cup can sell this place?

    It's so much more than just their amazing drinks, their service is great and they also have really good iced drinks that might not be posted as much but are so good and refreshing. Their coffees have better concentrate than starbucks or coffee bean,…

    Poached Kitchen is a place we go 3-5 times per week. The…read moreservice is always excellent with lots of employees who really care about the guests and the quality of their food and satisfaction. The ambiance - at times it is very busy like for breakfast on the weekends but they have their process well-organized and it goes very quickly even when crowded. We recently started coming for lunch - they have a lunch menu and are open until 2pm. I am known on YELP for providing critical but hopefully helpful comments. Here are mine for this week. CHICKEN SANDWICH - made just the way a real chicken sandwich should be made with fried chicken and cole slaw. The chicken is too thick and makes the sandwich very hard to eat. I know that the size of the chicken reflects the generosity of Poached Kitchen but in this case the ease of eating the sandwich needs to take precedent. and the cole slaw should be a vinegar-based slaw not a mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is too creamy and thick. The slaw needs to be less gooey and sticky to compliment the chicken. Good place to go where they're mastered this is R+D Kitchen in Newport Fashion Island....you can also get this same item prepared exactly the same way at Banderas in Corona del Mar - same master chef. And the fries need to be cooked in Tallow. Tru Foods does this and they set the standard for healthy food. SOURCING - you need to tell people where your eggs come from - in some places I've seen Vital Farms which is good Pasture Raised Eggs but that is not confirmed on your menu. Also for sourcing you mention Brant Farms on your menu for beef (it's spelled Brandt) but Brandt does not advertise grass-fed and finished beef and your menu is silent on this subject. Again you need to be specific about your sourcing. You can say "grass-fed and finished beef when available" to cover sourcing problems but you need to start sourcing from a pasture-raised beef supplier not a ranch that uses lots of mealy-mouthed words in their description of what they do. There are plenty of local California sources for grass-fed and finished beef including Diamond Ranch who operates BuyRanchDirect so you could take delivery in southern California. Hope the comments are helpful.

The waiters that served us at our actual table were not very friendly. I got the breakfast burrito with avocado instead of meat. Fortunately, this didn't add an extra charge (around $18 total). It was a good burrito but nothing really stood out. The tortilla was fresh and a good mix of firm but not too crispy and still chewy. The eggs were cooked enough with nothing too soft or runny, which is just how I like them. There was plenty of potato (maybe a little too much at points?) and they were fair with the avocado. The salsas added some kick but weren't too flavorful. I had heard a lot of good things about this place but wouldn't necessarily recommend it or be back, unfortunately

The brunch menu was limiting, with only a few egg dishes, sandwiches, and breads. The French toast and waffle were nearly $20 each despite the small portions and standard toppings. *French Toast: the worst item of the meal. The bread had no flavor or egginess and left a strange sandy mouthfeel. The interior was so dry that it soaked up all the moisture in my mouth. A poor showing for a classic French toast. *Waffle: the batter was slightly sweetened but felt too dense. The fruit was fresh, although nothing about the toppings or overall quality stood out. *Steak Frites: hanger steak topped with chimichurri and fries. It was supposed to come with bernaise sauce, but I did not receive any. The steak leaned closer to rare rather than the medium rare I asked for. However, it was still tender, and the chimichurri was vibrant and herbaceous. I wished more sauce had been applied, as the dish was a bit dry. The fries were decent, though I would have preferred more crunch. Given the long wait, I expected much more from the dishes in terms of flavor and execution. I was disappointed by how flavorless and dry everything was.

We got a smattering of food - there were a bunch of delicious options, which makes it difficult when you're indecisive like me. Breakfast burger - this was amazing.

Nice cuts of pork belly with a sesame sauce, delicious stewed kimchi, and Japanese style potato salad. Better than your typical bowls that just slap a bunch of things on top of rice. There's nice thought going into this dish and the stewed kimchi really packs that extra punch. Apple burrata salad - nice and light. With everything else we ordered being hearty, the salad offered a nice way to cut through the richness. Creamy burrata on apple slices with tomatoes.
