After a few hours of shopping this was our last stop before our drive home. I got a hot peppermint mocha and my husband ordered an americano. He liked his coffee saying it tastes good. No bad aftertaste like many places. My mocha was a bit disappointing. It was lukewarm and that kind of spoiled the mood. I was craving a hot Christmasy drink with peppermint. It was a cold evening and the atmosphere was very Christmasy. They have cute merchandise and lots of drink options. Customer service needs improvement. Overall a nice place to get your coffee from. Just make sure to taste it before you leave. Cause paying almost $7 for a mocha would be a waste. read more

I come here regularly to get a coffee for my wife and I to share. We always have a good time but I recently I have had particularly good experiences. There are a few baristas at this location that take the customer service to the next level. They have patiently answered my questions about nearly every coffee on the menu. There were a few times recently when I wanted to better understand their original Vietnamese blend and compare it to other options on their menu. Of my most recent memory, it was Renee, Talia and her twin sister (so sorry I forgot your name!). These three are really special. They are that ideal blend of product knowledge, barista skill, and customer service warmth. I attend tons of coffee shops and because I am in merchant services, we serve as the payment processor for many coffee shops in the area. I can tell you from professional experience that there are plenty of places with good coffee but they don't leave you with a great experience. Thanks to Renee, Talia and her twin sister, I always have a solid experience at Blk Dot! Thanks again! read more

Good luck waiting 28 min. For hot chai latte. Later you find out its tea. Ridiculous whiting time read more

This place is a scam. They did not fill my drink to the top. I've never been to a coffee/boba shop that's like this in OC. Will not come back anymore. I hope another coffee shop replace this pace read more

This is the first time I have ordered from this location as I live closer to the Laguna Beach store (Laguna was out of an item I wanted). The Laguna Beach store is always wonderful & efficient so I had high hopes for this store. I ordered a Fiesta bowl & a spanish latte. On doordash, this store does not allow special requests which is fairly common so I called the store to make my adjustments. The phone rang for 2 minutes and I decided to wait a few minutes to call back in case they were busy. Again, nothing. I called a third time and finally someone picked up and when I asked her for no sour cream/no spicy mayo, I was met with "well there's special request options in the app". I explained to her that I had already tried and didn't think it would be a big deal since I was just removing stuff, not adding. She was more friendly, I guess, after explaining my situation and we hung up the phone. The doordash time on this location was 30-40 minutes which is completely understandable since I live a bit further. I waited 1Hr 15Mins- I was assigned 2+ doordashers. So I guess that's a DoorDash problem, but there was no communication between the store, my dasher, and myself. Finally!! I have a doordasher. Yay!! My order gets delivered and it is 2 coffees...I ordered a bowl and a coffee. I call the store to see if I can just come pickup my bowl and again I am met with 3 minutes of ringing so I give up and just take care of it through Doordash. At least they're helpful. Check your orders. Pick up your phones. read more

Located in the Spectrum shopping center, Blk Dot Coffee really impressed me with their VT Matcha (Vietnamese Matcha) coffee. I'm usually hesitant to order complex drinks afraid that one flavor would over power the other, but the Matcha tea was evident with the 1st sip. As you stir the 2 components together you taste the Vietnamese coffee, so if you want to savor the Matcha tea, I would recommend that you don't stir. A good quality cup of coffee I wouldn't hesitate to order again. read more

Great place for an instant caffeine buzz, the Vietnamese coffee is very strong, the matcha is also good. The food is a bit expensive and can be skipped though. read more

We order two drinks at 5:25pm on a Tuesday using the kiosk. We made it clear that we order at the kiosk to see the lines of drinks. No line. There are three people working the shift, just gossiping not looking if they had orders. Please tell me why this took HALF AN HOUR IN A SLOW DAY. At first we thought " oh maybe one of their machines weren't working or idk maybe they don't know how to make the matcha" okay whatever but at least make yourselves look busy. Now it is 5:50pm please tell me again why three people who made online orders have their drinks already made while we wait now reaching half an hour, on a slow day, while they are gossiping/chatting without keeping an eye on the orders or be courteous enough to let us know that it's going to take some time. Now we are annoyed. My fiance went to ask around the 30 min mark for our drinks. One of the guys mentioned to him there was no kiosk order. He didn't bother to check the system while the most distracted out of the three check the system and did confirm that we did made an order???? I'm baffled, why gaslight my fiance saying that "there was no kiosk order" without even CHECKING. Uhm okay? So you're telling we where waiting for half an hour and they didn't even bother to check their kiosk orders?? I guess their gossip was THAT JUICY. It took them, I kid you not, LESS than a minute to make the drink. No apologies at all. I feel bad that my fiance tip for this disservice. I used to work on the food industry (prep, bus, expo, dog, boh) even in slow days, when I know my job consist of service/tip I check up on my customers to see if I missed anything. Do better. read more

Very good, tasty smooth, flavorful coffee, and a quick service too in the morning. Next time I'll try their breakfast bowls.

I got the light Vietnamese iced coffee with vanilla cold foam and it was so delicious! The perfect blend of coffee and milk. Not too sweet or milky! read more

This is the location at the Irvine Spectrum Center right next to Target. At BLK Dot they do a good job across all location and this is no different. It's a nice little shop with a good vibe but wish they had some seats inside specially since it's air conditioned well on a hot day. There is outside seating though. The Classic Vietnamese Coffee is my go-to drink but i did try their Yuzu Mango Matcha and it was a great combination of flavor and freshness. Great for a hot day! You can't go wrong with most of the drinks here so it's a great place for your caffeine fix. read more

Yuzu mango matcha so good!!! Also I think this is the only location that sells it? I haven't seen it in their other location... Small place so line looks long, or order online for a fast experience. No seating inside. read more

Very quick service. Conveniently at the Irvine spectrum for those who don't want Starbucks. But the Vietnamese coffee wasn't the best thing, I've had better. I'll have to try other things on the menu next time. read more

This has been my new go-to spot, hooray! I've been searching for a cafe with the perfect lavender latte, and after going to a good number of spots, I've found that this is it!! It's also great that it's in Spectrum, so you can walk 'n shop as you drink! read more

Heard Blk Dot Coffee multiple times from friends but never really had the intention of going in until this morning! I had told my brother that I desperately needed coffee to have energy and he brought me here! I ordered the Iced White Chocolate coffee with soy milk substitution. We got our drinks in less than five minutes! It was very tasty and would go again to try their other flavors :) read more

Had their hot vanilla chai latte with oat milk and a shot of espresso and it did not disappoint! Velvety, rich drink at just the right warm temperature. The chai notes are very subtle and blended seamlessly with the coffee flavor, with a melt in your mouth consistency. read more

we got the dulce vietnamese latte which was a great twist on a vietnamese coffee because they add caramel and cinnamon. the initial taste has a strong kick of the vietnamese coffee that is sweetened up from the caramel drizzle. this will keep you up :) the service is friendly and quick! read more

Blk Dot Coffee - dulce vietnamese - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

It's a popular spot that seems to be loved by many. It was my first time and I didn't like it as much to be honest. Found the espresso to be quite bold and bitter. I asked the barista to dilute the drink with milk further but it was still barely drinkable. The beans were way over-roasted, tasted as if I am drinking burnt sunflower seeds water. Absolutely amazing presentation with everything though. Staff being courteous, nice is very much appreciated and loved what they have done with the interior. It really did feel like a lot of love was put into creating this coffee shop. Sorry guys though, it's just not my thing. read more

The store is so nice, I just wish they had better coffee or just good coffee. Very disappointed.

Had a caramel macchiato and house coffee both great and tasted really good. No sour after taste. The service was good too, we got our drinks pretty fast for such a busy place. read more

Long overdue review for me personally. Been coming to BLK Dot Coffee for years and loved their selection of coffee. I like my coffee strong and therefore always preferred Vietnamese coffee. The way they make it at BLK is top notch and pleasantly surprising. I've always gotten the VTM both iced and hot. Also tried their matcha selection which keeps to seem like expanding. You can immediately taste how strong the coffee is, so I appreciate the fact it's not watered down like some places. Taste is on point and I always feel a jolt of caffeine afterwards! This location within the Spectrum mall is pretty small and not meant for sitting down besides a few outdoor tables. Highly recommend when you're looking for quality coffee and a lot of caffeine! read more

Bomb! Tai tea. Fantastic. Why I haven't tried this place all the years I've been coming to the Spectrum is beyond me. Repeat for sure. Great service. Good value. read more

Their specialty is Vietnamese coffee, so I figure I give it a try. I ordered the VTM Tigers. I like how strong the coffee is, and I can taste the condensed milk, but it is really sweet for me. Maybe because of the brown sugar syrup. Will have to try another drink next time. read more

Their Spanish Latte is THE BEST I've found in Orange County. Other places make it too sweet but at Blk Dot they have managed to find the perfect balance of sweetness and smoothness.

I enjoyed the tiramisu latte as it was not too sweet but just right. But really, the green tea was fantastic! It was smooth and just right. The service was friendly and the environment was laid back and chill. You can sit outside and the location is nice because there is a cool fountain to look at as well as a small play area outside for kids to climb while you enjoy your drink. I would go back here!! read more

Came in and ordered a matcha americano (just matcha and water), ordered it here a few weeks ago before with no issue. Was given a regular matcha latte with espresso. When I mentioned the mistake, I was told that they don't make matcha americanos anymore. That's fine, I get that menus change, but I wish they had let me know before taking my money... No offered refund and while the woman who took my order was polite, the barista who made the drink was noticeably rude and dismissive... read more

The men here took my order plus he took it incorrectly. 20 minutes past and no drink while others where taking their drinks. I asked to to be refunded they took another 10 minutes to find my order the lady here is who helped me I had to show my credit card transaction so they can find it. Poor customer service inadequate hygiene defines poor management. read more

VTM was not too bad Great service. This is your typical coffee shop inside the mall. I'd give them 3 stars, but added an extra star for the quick service and patient baristas were showed zero negative vibes, despite the hectic rush. Kudos to the Blk Dot Coffee Team on NYE :) !! read more

I love how they have boba and coffee options! I got a few drinks with friends and all of them were delicious! The fun thing about this place is that they have lots of cool add ons or customizations for your drink so you can make it exactly to your taste.
