    I used to go to their location at the Spectrum, but's it's been a while since I've been down there. Surprised to find one so close to UCI. Staff is very friendly and efficient. The place is a good sized with some seating inside. The plaza also has plenty of outdoor seating. It's in a pretty big plaza with plenty of food/drink options. It can get pretty busy, but I've never had an issue trying to find parking. So I only get three things from them and it really depends on what I'm craving that day, Iced VTM, Iced VTMatcha, or Iced Uji Matcha Latte. They have plenty of customization options if that's your thing. All have excellent flavor and really depends on your preference. They VTM is very strong can can be pretty sweet, but that's really what you should be expecting. For the other two matcha options, I tend to do less sweet and less ice. Love the matcha flavor without too much sweetness and less ice so you take your time enjoying it without it getting diluted down. Nice location for some really good drinks. Prices are completely fair for what you are getting.

    Ugh I used to stop at blk dot every time I come up to OC but this is the last straw. Out of sheer principle I can't support a business that charges like $8 for an iced coffee but leaves this much of their cup empty. So bad I had to take a picture. Come on blk dot, you can do so much better than this. Your customers deserve better!

    The breakfast sausage bowl was very good and refreshing. Great quick bite to study with. Blk Dot has lots of seating indoor and outdoor.

    Breakfast Sausage Bowl

    Stopped Blk dot coffee and what a treat! We tried the VTM coffee, Jasmine tea macchiato, and breakfast sausage bowl. The VTM was very smooth, strong and flavorful. If you want a lighter drink, but not coffee, the Jasmine macchiato hits the spot. It's flavors very light with just the right amount of sweetness. Now I didn't expect much of breakfast food from coffee spots, but the Breakfast sausage bowl is very flavorful and filling! The house made sausage was so good!! The bowl is filled with potatoes, egg frittata, pico de gallo, and chipotle drizzle. This was a winner! The cafe is pretty spacious with plenty of seating inside and outside. The cafe is kept clean and has merch and coffee for sale. Staff and service were great! Grab a breakfast bowl, drink, and enjoy! Happy Nom Nom!

    Ultimate Brekkie Bowl

    the brekkie bowl is DELICIOUS!!! Got it with corn and the potatoes are crunchy. Matcha's a little watery but still pretty good and topped with cocoa powder

    Uji Matcha Einspänner 8.18/10- made with uji culinary grade matcha latte, cane syrup, sweet foam top, cocoa powder. I always get the Vietnamese iced chai latte with espresso at Blkdot but decided to switch it up and try their matcha. This was pretty good! The matcha had this interesting balance of sweet and bitter - I personally prefer sweet matcha given my sweet tooth. It also had a slightly grainy texture which I'm not the biggest fan of when it comes to matcha, but I still really enjoyed the drink overall. My favorite part was definitely the sweet foam top with cocoa powder. I think Blkdot has the BEST foam toppings ever - they really know what they're doing. The sweet foam with cocoa powder honestly gave the drink this amazing tiramisu-like flavor which actually complemented the subtle hint of bitterness from the matcha perfectly. It also made the drink creamier which I really liked. I honestly think the drink started tasting better after the first few sips as the sweet foam top kind of mixed into the matcha. I normally don't mix my drinks but in this case, it was great! I would get this again but I'll probably stick with my usual Vietnamese iced chai latte with espresso next time (it's too good of an order imo) but this was a nice change of pace and definitely worth trying. Also the service here is incredible! My order always comes out really fast and I like getting work done here as there's a good amount of seating and they're open till later. Instagram: @hungrytamale

    Yuzu Mango Matcha Latte
    Veda B.

    I really like the yuzu mango matcha latte from here, it's the only thing I order but it's just that good!!! There's little yuzu piece at the bottom and the mango flavor pairs perfectly with the matcha! Only reason it gets 4 stars is bc they add a nondairy creamer to the mango portion of the latte and they remake their matcha in a squeeze bottle. But hey at long as it doesn't affect the taste, that's all that matters!

    Finally tried this place! The Spanish latte was good but nothing special. The breakfast food was great! Tried a jalapeño bagel with cream cheese and avocado. Very good! The bagels are very fresh! The hot honey avocado toast with bacon was also very good. I highly recommend the food!

    I already had a coffee earlier on in the day so I opted to try the Thai tea. It wasn't too bad but it was just okay, nothing too memorable. I did get a sip of my husband's Vietnamese coffee & while it did taste strong, he said it was just okay. The store itself is pretty spacious and nicely decorated though & the guy that helped us was nice

    Avocado Toast
    Malisa R.

    Cute coffee shop down the street from the Newport Villas and Pelican Hill. Known for their Vietnamese coffee and Asian inspired drinks. If that's not your jam, you can get a regular latte or staples like Pumpkin Spice or Peppermint Mocha. My mom and I came here a couple of times during our week getaway to Newport. Love the vibe. Great location. It's a chain and can be found throughout SoCal. Over our week trip we tried the vanilla chai latte, VTM coffee, hot chocolate, and the hot honey oat latte. We tried the avocado toast and hot honey avocado toast too. The hot chocolate was great. Not too sweet. The Vietnamese coffee is strong! There is a regular and liter version in case you need to dial back the caffeine. My mom preferred the pumpkin spice latte over the hot honey latte. The avocado toast was fresh. The bread was thick and fluffy. My mom liked the spice with the hot honey avocado toast. Plus the bacon was a bonus. Love the neutral colors and the vibe with the ocean vibes. Can't go wrong!

    Large iced vtm

    Not at bad as yesterday. Could use some work, I get it tho it be hard to pour enough to fill the cup.

    avocado toast was actually pretty fire, had some honey or hot honey... not sure but yumm! coffee was pretty good too. kinda pricy but all coffees are these days. solid option for good iced coffee if ur in the area but nothing special

    One of my new favorite things is to try coffee shops - in fact I have a long list in various cities of shops that I want to try. Thankfully I was in the area and decided to give BLKdot a try because this place has easily become my new favorite go to coffee shop. I'm new to the coffee scene so I get things that are overly sugary to drown out the strong coffee taste as my palette hasn't gotten quite accustomed to it yet. I decided to try the iced pumpkin VTM and oh my gosh, it was single handedly the best coffee drink I ever had. My fiancé who literally detests coffee, tried a sip of it, and then proceeded to drink half of it because he thought it was equally delicious. In fact we enjoyed it so much that we went the next 2 days to get these drinks. We've also tried the Tiramisu one which was good, but nothing can compare to the pumpkin VTM although as I'm writing this, I realized their winter menu dropped and they have a peppermint VTM on the menu that I am beyond excited to try. We've been to various locations and they're always the same, friendly, fast, and delicious!

We came relatively early on a Saturday, totally forgetting it was St. Patrick's Day weekend and this place would be poppin (which it definitely was as the day carried on). We were seated right away for breakfast. On weekends, they don't start serving lunch till 11:45am, but we got to enjoy their breakfast. I didn't even realize they serve food. We were seated in the upstairs area which was pretty awesome because you got more of a view of the ocean! It was awesome. The guy that seated us was one of the brothers that works there and he was so nice! He told us to let him know when we were ready to leave because it gets crazy and people try to steal tables hahah. He even tried to get us to stay later and offered to buy us all a shot if we did, which of course, my family never says no to, so they all got to enjoy that haha. He was fantastic! Our server was also amazing though I didn't get her name. The staff here really is outstanding! To eat, I ordered the chocolate chip pancakes and a side of their fruit bowl. It was all really good. The food came out pretty quick which was great. My family all enjoyed their HUGE beers and mimosas. But really, the drinks look like they could be a bowl of soup haha. We loved it here and I'd definitely come back. Once the afternoon hit, they turned the music up for the St. Patrick's Day crowd. It was definitely a fun atmosphere!

Their food isn't too bad especially if you want to watch sports, enjoy greasy food with a friend, or need a quick bite after a beach day. I think kids are allowed until a certain time (but I'm not sure when) cos once the sun sets, they have a bouncer checking IDs. Lots of seating available. Service is ok. When you get inside, you can pick any table of your choosing and your server will find you. Also, the restrooms are clean! First time I came here, I tried the lemon pepper pterodactyl wings and sweet potato fries. The wings were kinda bland and needed ranch for flavor. The sweet potato fries were pretty greasy but went great with a beer. I've also tried their California Dreamin' burger with garlic fries. This burger was so yummy and filling!! The bun is like a grilled cheese and the toppings go so well together. The garlic fries were meh.

This has nothing to do with the food and the service. Our server was wonderful and accommodating. The food was quite good and we would have visited again. The rudeness of the owner was beyond words. We were seated with 4 kids and 6 adults. My child is 4 and was hitting his utensils on the table to make music. The owner immediately reprimanded him. She suggested giving the kids pencils and papers as an activity. I thought that was a great idea and said, "yes please". My son, like most children, began hitting his utensils again while waiting. When she saw, she said she would not give the kids the activity if they didn't stop. She then proceeded to snatch all utensils from the kids. I should have said something at that point but I didn't want to ruin the mood. We were celebrating my nephews 8th birthday. After that incident, my husband went up and gave her a suggestion about their menu. He was getting something from the car and didn't witness what happened with the utensils. He has a hard time reading and told her. She proceeded to say, "well we have 5 stars. Then added sarcastically, "well Happy Mother's Day to you too." Rude and uncalled for. I am not good with confrontation and we should have left the restaurant. However, I did not want to penalize our waitress and the other staff who have been great. The owner ultimately left the hostess area but I could hear her telling others that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Obviously that was directed at us. I like to give people the benefit of doubt but not from this type of treatment. She might have had a bad day but you can't act on emotions as a business owner. The thought also crossed my mind that she may have been racist. Needless to say, our birthday lunch was ruined and we couldn't help but discuss the treatment. Our waitress apologized on behalf of the owner but that was seriously inexcusable.
