Every trip at the Irvine Spectrum is also a treat at Blk Dot Coffee. I love getting the LVTM (Light Vietnamese Coffee) and Iced Chai. Staff are always friendly & even if this place can get really busy, they are pretty quick in making your drinks. read more

First time here and can't wait to come back to try more! Ordered the viet coffee matcha and it was so refreshing. Ive had both before as separate drinks but never combined, so worth it. The staff was friendly and efficient despite the line. Located conveniently in the spectrum so it's a nice pitstop in the middle of a shopping day. read more

Love this spot for a coffee and hearty breakfast bowl. The light Vietnamese coffee iced is by far my favorite as the normal is a bit too sweet for me. The breakfast bowl has so much flavor and large portions. Great way to start the day around Irvine. read more

Blk Dot Coffee *March 15th, 2026 *1:30pm- Sunday *5 Stars Environment: *Large Parking Lot *Indoor and Outdoor Seating *Quick Service Food/Drink: *Uji Matcha Latte (Almond Milk) Came here after not being satisfied with a matcha latte from another location earlier, and this spot definitely redeemed it. I ordered the Uji matcha latte with almond milk and was honestly so impressed with the strong matcha flavor that I was hoping for. Service was super quick, which made the experience even better. I've had their coffee plenty of times before and always enjoyed it, so I was excited to finally try their matcha. Definitely a go-to if you're craving a solid, flavorful matcha latte! read more

One of the few places open late for a coffee out in OC. They took orders down to the last minute of closing. Black dot has a nice "work pitstop & quick pick-me-up" vibe. I got matcha & I've had the einspanner's theyre a MUST for a late night or hustling day. Loved it! read more

I had heard great things about the Yuzu Mango Matcha Latte and wanted to try it for myself. I was pleasantly surprised by the matcha flavor. While it is culinary grade rather than ceremonial, it still had a bright green color, and the taste came through nicely, with just a slight astringency. I appreciated that the matcha itself wasn't sweetened, allowing the yuzu mango to provide the sweetness. The addition of yuzu bits was a nice touch, and the bright, citrusy flavor made the latte feel refreshing and surprisingly well-paired with the matcha. I ordered online and the service was accurate to the time. read more

Don't get Blk'd out! Nice little grab-and-go coffee spot by Target/85 Degrees. They offer various coffees, lattes, teas and pastries. You can order online to avoid the long wait, especially during lunch hours. They also offer decaf. There is no indoor seating, only outdoor. read more

Today was my first time trying Blk Dot and we ended up parking at the Target in Irvine Spectrum and walked over. I haven't been to this side of Irvine Spectrum before but parking was surprisingly easy. This coffee shop was SO busy at 3pm on New Year's Day. The line moved quickly and service was friendly. Drinks came out very shortly after we ordered. I had the Vanilla Maplenut Latte; this drink is really subtle and didn't have a strong flavor at all. I was expecting it to be a little sweeter but I don't think it's something I'd order again. The VTMatcha is a matcha with vietnamese coffee on the bottom. This drink is very unique and has a bold flavor that surprisingly works well together. My boyfriend chose this drink based on how pretty it looked but ended up really enjoying it. There is some outdoor seating available to hang out and enjoy your coffee, but it is not necessarily a location I'd recommend staying at for extended periods of time, simply because of how long the line gets and how crowded it can be. read more

I had a pretty frustrating experience here. They start closing the patio area at 9pm even though the store closes at 10pm, which feels way too early and unnecessary--especially when there were still three employees working. What really bothered me was being interrupted mid-order at the self-service kiosk so they could block it off with chairs. I was literally in the middle of placing my order and had to stop and move because they decided to shut things down early. If your posted hours say you're open until 10, customers should be able to use the space and order without being rushed or pushed out early. This just felt inconvenient and poorly handled. read more

- BLK Dot - One of my favorite spots in OC for a strong drink. This particular location is at the Irvine Spectrum, near the Apple Store & Target. I've tried so many variations of their drinks & have never been disappointed! Love their matcha for an afternoon pick me up & the VTM is my morning go to. They also offer breakfast/pastries. Their prices are fair & customer service and quality of beverages 10/10! read more

If you want to pay for a bunch of Ice and a little bit of coffee definitely the place you want to go. I've asked for a little bit of ice and I get a full cup of ice, I've asked for no ice and I was told "they can't do that." So they are very aware they are ripping you off and forcing you to pay for frozen water and not the actual product. Hell, even Starbucks gives light ice. read more

Since Marketplace is closed, I visit here when I'm in the area, only if you are going to the Spectrum. Otherwise you have to fight for parking. I'm a fan of the seasonal peppermint lite vtm or mint Serrano. This time my sister told me I had to try the yuzu mango matcha even though I'm not a matcha fan. The cashier even let me have a little sample first which was very nice. I decided to get it on the trip and I have to say I'm a fan. But it could be more about the mango syrup :p. Overall a cute little coffee shop. Waiting for the one closer to me to open up. read more

Nice clean location and the staff was able to answer our questions regarding their menu in a pleasant manner. I ordered the macha mango drink which was great. There are small chunks of mango at the bottom which were not easy to sip through a straw. The price was reasonable given it is inside a premium shopping center. read more

Great coffee! We came here three times during our vacation. Service is as expected. Not much of a social hangout coffee shop, better for take out. My only notes would be that there is a lot of ice in the iced coffees, more than you typically get other places, and it makes the amount of coffee you get feel kind of like a rip off. Also, the amount of coffee you get isn't consistent. Some times it is pretty full, and other times the cup is not full. For example, we got large coffees on our third visit since the amount of ice in the regulars made it feel like we were barely getting any coffee, but the cups weren't full. As if they had accidentally made regulars and then dumped it into a large cup and just added more ice. Overall, the coffee is so good that we will return, but either ask for light ice or get a bigger size to avoid disappointment. read more

I don't drink Vietnamese coffee so I can't talk for that, but I ordered a cappuccino and I was not a big fan...

Solid coffee spot so long as you don't get the decaf option. The coffee beans are great and the lattes, cappuccinos, and flat whites I've ordered have been enjoyable as long as I don't get decaf or half decaf. For some reason, the decaf tastes significantly different (and not in a good way). Cons to this spot are the long wait (it tends to get quite busy) and lack of seating. There are a couple of tables outside but overall, this location seems to be more of a grab and go spot so don't plan to come here to work or study. Overall, Blk dot is a good spot to grab coffee and walk around the Spectrum. read more

This location is a joke. Hate the service here to begin with but it's the nearest place I can go when I do my Target runs. Always disliked this place (not the drink) because of the shit service but this is the damn final straw bitches. Can't even make a large drink-charge me for medium if you want to make me a medium. Service is crap - takes years to pickup a drink you ordered online. I'll fucking take the 10mins walk to sbux just to avoid this place from now on. read more

Blk Dot Coffee - Iced Matcha (did not even drink yet) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

If you want something other than your usual popular coffee chain you have to try this place out! They are busy and I can see why because of the quality of their coffee. We opted for the iced caramel macchiato which was refreshing and creamy. It had just the right amount of sweetness. We also tried the hot mocha, it was just ok. I feel the iced version would had been better. It's not that big inside so you can snag a seat right out front or the benches under the shade by the stores. I wish there was a BLK Dot coffee in the Bay! read more

Yall. You gotta order in advance here. Even if you get here really early before the stores at the Spectrum is even open it is always crowded and line moves slow. Nevertheless, I cannot resist Blk Dot. My sister loves it too every time she's in town she asks me to go get their Brekky Bowl and of course I had to indulge her. On this most recent trip, I tried something new. I was not feeling my usual go to (the LVTM) and wanted something a little lighter so I tried the Sea Salt Foam Jasmine Green tea and it was delightful! I've never had tea with foam before but this was refreshing yet creamy, with just a bit of edge from the salt. I think I've found a new go to when I'm caffeine-d out. read more

Blk Dot Coffee - Sea Salt Jasmine Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

I stopped by here to get some hot tea. I was going to get the Thai Tea, but the cashier kindly informed me that the tea order couldn't be unsweetened due to the creamer. Instead, I got the Uji Matcha latte - no additional toppings like the lychee jelly or boba which were an additional $1. The baristas were very friendly, but we did go on a Sunday around 3 PM so it was extremely busy. They have the option of ordering online which would be ready in 15-20 minutes but we decided to just order in line. It was pretty crowded so it's not a sit down type of ambiance. If waiting inside, would recommend some crowd guidance since it was hard to stand and navigate to get to your drink. The Uji Matcha was tasty and the Matcha flavor was strong and creamy. I got my drink unsweetened, but there was still a slight sweetness to it. Parking at Irvine Spectrum is always tough but at least it's free! read more

We tried the one in Orange and that had a seating area but not this one inside the Irvine Spectrum. We just finished dinner at Little Sister (delicious) and wanted coffee to go and found this place. Service - good Drinks - SeaSalt Jasmine tea (recommended by barista) actually good with the sea salt foam on top. I tried the foam before shaking and mixing and actually good Hot Spanish latte - good and did the trick in keeping me awake on my 80 mile drive home They use good beans, I can tell (we roast our own coffee at home) compared to the ubiquitous Sbux so spend a little and try this coffee and enjoy your cup of joe ! read more

Okay I know there's always a line here... don't worry it's completely worth it, some of the best tasting matcha drinks I've ever had in the area!! And of course their other items on the menu are an absolute delight, just about anything that says vtm is amazing, or be bold and get some salted cream foam atop a latte. They've got great service and are always going to give good recommendations based on your needs, there is no inside seating however it's very modern looking and the outdoor seating is very small. Definitely a place to get your drink and food and walk around! read more

I ordered a matcha latte and a matcha einspanner, asking for less ice. The drinks came out visibly not filled to the top, and staff offered no explanation until I proactively asked. They explained that topping the drink off would be extra. Paying 7-8$ for a drink and not having it filled to the top of the plastic cup left a poor taste in my mouth. The attached pictures show the drinks I received, before they were consumed. Highly recommend taking your business elsewhere if you do drink customization, or want a lot of ice in your drink. read more

I got the tiramisu option and it was good, but I feel like the foam on top could have been thicker to better balance out the taste of the coffee, which was strong. The interior is nice, with pop music playing inside and lots of seating options with outlets. They also have outdoor seating as well. The service was good and the staff were friendly. I definitely want to try some of their food items next time! read more

I've heard of Blk Dot several times before and I've been dying to try this place. Luckily when I came there was no line and 0 wait. I asked the cashier what to get and if they recommended their matcha drinks over their iced teas and she highly recommended the matcha and said it was popular so I got their Matcha Einspanner (my usual order if a cafe has it). Unfortunately the drink was disappointing. The matcha taste is lacking and the drink tasted like sweetened milk. I can barely taste the actual matcha which is surprising because based on the color it looked like the matcha taste would be strong enough. I wish there was more matcha in the drink because I think it could've been a great drink. I would rate this drink 3/10. Now I wish I would've gotten a different drink since based on their Yelp page everyone is raving about their coffee and their iced teas. read more

We were there on a weekday around late 7pm and there was no line at all but there were groups of people sitting outside. The service was okay, there were only two people in the front and didn't seem to acknowledge us. Overall, our drinks did come out quickly and they tasted good. read more

Super quick stop for a late breakfast with baby, I ordered their Iced Uji Matcha Latte ($5.95) - Super yummy!! Will order again, Hot Honey Avocado Toast ($13.50) - Such a simple order but man, this made me drive over to the next grocery store to get all the ingredients to try and recreate this every morning at home! Baby chose a croissant, warmed, and was satisfied with his choice! Our first time visiting this spot, the space itselfnis tight, not a lot of room for the stroller and me, and the patio does not offer a lot of seating but luckily the tables and chairs are pletiful outside! We won't hesitate to come back! read more

I thought the coffee was quite incredible I got the Spanish latte with it milk (contains housemade condensed milk) It was smooth not too sweet and the cinnamon added a great warm note The place is crowded though. Went on a Sunday afternoon and there was a line Two people cut in front of us because it wasn't really clear where the line starts or ends. Maybe fix the barriers? Also we weren't given coffee sleeves. Had to grab them ourselves I know they're busy but the extreme crowds inside and outside took away from the experience The cashier was really friendly and kind He took time to explain things on the menu too even though he was busy The service and coffee make up for the long wait, crowds and line cutters though read more
