    Service is great. Ambience no doubt very nice and clean. I've tried all their drinks and they were all deliciously yummy! Love that there's TVs on all the walls too. Can't forget the $1 coffee special and free iced tea either. Highly recommend!

Ya boy has been around the block for a hot minute so I've been to my fair share of coffee shops. If anyone dares speak any slander on this fine establishment, I am ready to defend its honor. I have legit gone here for the past couple months religiously. I have tried every single drink on the menu that is not matcha. I have never had a drink that I would consider anything below a 9/10. You really can't go wrong with any of the drinks here because they will happily remake your drink if it's not one that's perfect. Second, the service here is second to none. The entire staff is so friendly and professional. Special shoutout to the great sensei Vicky. She always makes sure we feel welcome and taken care of. Not even exaggerating, I usually get two coffees here. I get one, go to Costco, then come back for another. Real talk. No bs. anyways. go getyaself one. I especially like the Peanut Butter Coffee and the Vanilla Cold Brew... and the Dustino... I really like the banana coffee too... they make a mean @ss dirty chai. I swear the list goes on and on. Oh their teas are good too. aight i'm out.

    The best place to get Vietnamese coffee drinks! I've visited multiple times and I keep coming back…read morefor their Coconut Coffee. Their Coconut Coffee is one of their blended creation that uses Phin Smith's signature District 1 Blend which has a dark, bold, and intense coffee flavor with nutty undertones. The drink has a rich coconut crema which makes it silky and smooth flavour. Since it's a blend, the coconut pairs well with the strong bold coffee flavor. It's a bit sweeter which is what I like. It makes for a refreshing drink on those hot summer days. Service moves along well. You order your drink and once you've received your drink, you pay at the cash and then you can head out with beverage. I love how content all the staff are and there's many of them to make sure you get your drink in a timely manner. It's a must visit if you're in garden grove and craving for Vietnamese coffee. I also highly recommend the Phin Freeze and the Javacado!

    I get the hype! Airoma Cafe constantly ranks high on the list of best matcha spots in Southern…read moreCalifornia. The cafe is cute with a small number of interior tables. They are located in the same plaza as Brodard, Vox Kitchen, Rol Handbar, etc. in Fountain Valley. This location is open later than the other Airoma. They use ceremonial matcha which makes a huge difference. I ordered the strawberry matcha latte (74% sweet) after trying one previously in LA. I paid and waited for my order to be ready. After a few minutes, I received my order. I shook it up and tried it. Delicious! Even better than I remembered. My husband who doesn't usually enjoy matcha, tried it and liked it. He does not dig the earthy taste, but this drink changed his perspective. Airoma made my husband a believer in matcha. We do not usually go out too often for matcha, but when I'm in the mood next, this place will be a must visit. I'll have to try their egg coffee in the future too.

    My friend accidentally drove us to this location intending to go to the Garden Grove location, but…read moreit was a pleasant surprise to learn that they opened a second location here. I actually keep hoping that they open another location over near Cerritos/Artesia. There was a line leading outside of the building, but it moved pretty quickly. I ordered a pandan latte and I'd say it was just as good as their original location! Not overly sweet with a really tasty pandan flavor. Lots and lots of parking in the plaza. And service was very quick. There's very minimal seating on the left hand side of where you order. I wouldn't say this is the ideal shop to work in and hang out and chat, but that's fine.

They have the best selection in OC, with so many creative flavors that it's hard to choose just one. The bread is always soft, fluffy, buttery, and perfectly baked. Their matcha is just as impressive--smooth, rich, and earthy without being overly sweet. It pairs perfectly with any of the pastries. The café is bright, clean, and has a modern vibe that's great for relaxing or catching up with friends. Between the incredible salt bread, quality drinks, and welcoming atmosphere, I can definitely see why this spot has become so popular. I'll be coming back often to try the rest of the menu.

There's also quite a bit of seating. My aunt and I ordered the tiramisu einspanner, less sweet, with oat milk. My aunt LOVES it. I think it's pretty good when mixed with the cream. If you drink it without mixing, the coffee is a bit bitter with a sourish(?) taste, but paired with the cream, it balances out! Not bad at all. The cafe also sells pastries, but I have yet to try any. Service was ok- drinks came out a bit slow despite the us being the only ones ordering at the time. There's a lot of parking space. Overall, it was a decent experience. Not my go-to cafe, but since my aunt (and cousin and cousin's bf) love this place, I'll bump it up to a 4 star!

I like this location more than others because of the bigger parking lot, more seating options (including an upstairs area and outdoor seating), and I've also received better service here compared to other locations. The place is simply decorated, and it honestly is a solid spot if you're looking to crank out some work or meet with colleagues/friends. It does get pretty crowded so it's better to get an early head start if you can, especially on the weekends. In terms of their drinks, my favorite is the blueberry lavender matcha latte. It's on the sweeter side and has a floral aftertaste, but the flavors mix really well together. I typically get their matcha drinks or teas because I'm not a fan of coffee, but my friends that are coffee fiends are fans of the various coffee drinks here. Compared to other cafes, I feel like the cost of the drinks is standard, but the prepared food and pastries are on the steeper side. Still a great spot, I enjoy coming for the atmosphere and biscuits!

The location has plenty of parking and plenty of seating. There is an outdoor patio, and inside there is a first floor seating area, and a second floor seating area. The interior had high ceilings and modern practical decor. Staff will take your order at the cashier, but they also have a kiosk if you want to avoid human interaction. I was here for a few hours, so I started off with a hot beverage since I saw that they have mug service. I had the hot Churro Latte ($8.15/large) and I was warned it's a bit sweet so staff suggested that I get it less sweet. I appreciated the gesture but maybe that's why I didn't taste too much of the churro flavor. It tasted like a good regular latte but maybe they held back on the caramel and cinnamon to the point I couldn't detect it. Seating is first come first serve. It was actually really busy and difficult to find an ideal spot. Since I was alone I sat at a high top ledge, strategically near an outlet. From what I saw, they had a really good amount of outlets in the indoor seating area. Later on I went back and ordered an iced Blueberry Lavender Matcha with Cold Foam ($9.25/large) and a Deluxe Avocado Toast ($15) which comes with egg, bacon, and herb oil. I like that this location serves the avocado toast with a knife and fork cause it was much needed. It was a bit on the wet side. Maybe I should ask for light herb oil next time. For how much this avocado toast cost, I would have liked more avocado. The avocado was more of a spread, not whole slices of avocado. Still good, just an observation. The blueberry lavender matcha was okay. I could taste the lavender but it was overpowering the matcha and the blueberry was hard to detect at all. Honestly the location and plentiful seatings is what stood out most from this experience. I would consider coming back since I know their products are good from trying their other locations but I wouldn't get the drinks I ordered this time. For how expensive coming here was, I wish I was a little more satisfied.

Located next to AR market, it is a large interior with lots of lighting due to glass walls for half the store. I was a bit weary of da vien considering I couldn't sleep after trying their egg coffee at their bolsa location (I know Vietnamese coffee is famous for their caffeine that sneaks up on you due to the sweetness of their coffee (being Vietnamese myself) but not at this level). However, the manager or owner of the bolsa location did reach out to me to make it right after my critique. Going here is a night and day experience! Let me tell you of the tastiest coffee that rivals Starbucks... and I still got ample sleep! I got their marble drip coffee. I ordered mine with "50% sweetness and less caffeine." The moment it flowed through the straw and hit my tongue, it was the smoothest, creamiest most tasty coffee I ever had. Perfect amount of sweetness and a kick of caffeine, I was so amazed!! Their customer service here is nice and polite at the counter but that's pretty much it. They have a touch screen kiosk to also order on the side. When I came, there were 4 people ahead of me but the wait time wasn't that long thanks to the above things. I would definitely come here again. I would never guess to give a Vietnamese coffee establishment the highest rating on yelp considering my caffeine sensitivity but this is it!

One look at that deep, vibrant green color and I knew it was about to slap!!! Rich, earthy, bold, nutty... this is the kind of authentic ceremonial-grade matcha that makes your wallet feel fancy.

My husband told them TWICE to correct our order that we had PAID for and they still couldn't get it right. Its frustrating as he had to wait in line and waste his time because of their incompetence. We even called the shop but it went straight to voicemail. Anyway, I won't be coming back here again. Don't want to waste my time and money.

I went around 12:30 pm and it was a packed lot. The store itself was too busy and felt cramped. The space seems suitable for smaller groups. At the time, there was a line before you could order. It took almost 10 minutes for the order to be ready. American Express is accepted here. Sea Salt Coffee: This was on the signature section so I had big expectations for it. It was a very small drink (9 oz). It was slightly salted, tasted bitter, and wasn't sweet despite having condensed milk as an ingredient. It wasn't good. Canale: Despite having to wait for the drink, I needed to wait longer for this because the staff forgot to put it in the order. I needed to wait for them to prepare it in the back and also go back to the counter to charge for it. All to wait for something that was mushy. Coffee Beans: I saw there were coffee beans from Glitch in Japan. It was a brand that I loved there so I wanted to give it a try. I don't usually like fruity notes but this was really delicious. However, it's extremely pricy for how little beans there is.

They've been consistently amazing ever since they opened, and somehow they've only gotten better over time. I honestly enjoy just about every drink on their menu, especially their seasonal specials. My all-time favorite has to be their 2026 Spring Earl Grey Matcha. I was getting it almost every week, and I was genuinely sad when they switched over to their summer menu. Thankfully, they kept the Mango Sticky Rice Matcha, because wow... what a flavor explosion. It's easily one of the best matcha drinks I've ever had, and my friend and I keep coming back just for it. I know it sounds a little adventurous, because it did to me, but when I tried it, it genuinely changed my life (kidding). If mango isn't your thing, I highly recommend either the Double Matcha or the Banana Matcha. The Double Matcha is perfect if you love a strong matcha flavor; you can really taste the quality of the matcha they use. As for the Banana Matcha, I normally don't gravitate toward banana drinks, but SIP completely changed my mind. They use what tastes like a banana pudding instead of artificial banana flavoring, and it blends so smoothly with the matcha that every sip feels balanced and indulgent. The café itself is just as charming as the drinks. The wood paneling gives the space a cozy, retro vibe that makes you want to stay a while, and the staff is always incredibly friendly, patient, and welcoming.

Now the MATCHA I looooved their matcha with the Earl Grey foam top. OMG... it was phenomenal!! The matcha was earthy, umami, and so well balanced, and the hint of Earl Grey in the foam complemented it perfectly without overpowering the matcha. Such a good combination! I will 100% be coming back for this one!
