    A blended Matcha drink.
    Al C.

    The coffee is locally roasted and prepared. It's some of the best coffee I've ever had! My family and I go to the mall at least once a week to have some coffee or a blended frozen drink.

    Vietnamese Coffee fantastic (4 shots included) Medium sweet
    David E.

    Fantastic Coffee shop surprisingly hidden in plain sight at a Mall of all places. I came here with my wife to take a look at a few things in another store and then we saw a coffee shop and we both wanted some coffee. Spoke with the owner and he knew his stuff with coffee and got me his most known Speciality Drink the Vietnamese Coffee. The Coffee was rich and delicious and the Vietnamese coffee bean he blends is strong and great. Ended up buying one of his bags he sells to make it at home.

    cold brew with sugar free syrup
    Ashley R.

    The cold brew was alright, did not stick out too much in my mind. I am glad they offer sugar free syrups. The menu was filled with lots of interesting flavored lattes and Vietnamese coffees. The mall surrounding the establishment was very loud so it was hard to hear the baristas when ordering. The baristas did not seem very attentive or friendly.

    Vietnamese iced coffee
    Fatima P.

    Clever name for a coffee shop that serves more ice than actual coffee. 2 sips in and I was halfway done with it. 4 sips and it was gone and only the ice remained. I ordered on the kiosk and didn't see an option to select the amount of ice and it probably would have been an extra charge. Regardless, there wasn't an option and LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF ICE!! Absolutely absurd and never coming back. The coffee itself was okay.

    I stopped here for a hot latte on a cold, cloudy day while at the Main Place Mall. It's on the top floor near Macy's. The interior is quite nice, as inviting as a mall coffee cafe can be. I ordered a hazelnut latte; a bit on the pricey side. The fellow working here was very friendly and conversational. I took the latte with me as I walked through the mall, continuing my shopping. It was very, very hot. I couldn't drink it at first. Honestly it took me half an hour before I could sip it. Admittedly I have a temperature sensitive tongue but I'm telling you, this was served scalding hot. The hazelnut flavor was subtle but there, which I enjoyed. The coffee itself tasted burnt which is also my complaint about the world's largest coffee chain. I only drank half. Not my favorite coffee experience but it warmed me up. Other reviews rave about the Vietnamese coffee so I think that's the way to go if you visit here and like strong coffee.

    Caramel latte

    Well. They add their tip automatically on the tap. Be aware when you pay. Other than that coffee is and 7.5

Still, I decided to give this place a second chance (no angry neighbor this time), and I was glad I did! PARKING: There's street parking around the neighborhood - I parked on Almond Ave so I wasn't in front of a house. The spots right outside the shop were 30 minute only. If you can't find parking there's probably tons as you go east if you're willing to walk. WHAT I ORDERED: Pistachio cream cold brew THE DRINK: Amazing. I've had my share of acidic or bitter cold brews, and this was not one of them. The cream was perfectly sweetened and flavored . SERVICE: Exceeded my expectations. The baristas when I came in were very bubbly and answered my questions and gave me suggestions, and were funny too! I wish I got their names, but they were working on Monday early afternoon - I hope they get some recognition. We also got some samples of the food items (which may have swayed me to get the turkey panini next time I come in). Even with the experience I had above a while back ago, I remember going in to let the baristas know and they were very understanding and apologetic, which I really appreciated. VIBES: Probably one of the top coffee shops to get work done in OC. Here's my work-from-coffee-shop checklist: * OUTLETS: So many. Not at the tables downstairs but in the private rooms and at a lot of the seating upstairs. * WIFI/INTERNET: Yes, good speed * BATHROOMS: Yes, clean * WATER: You can ask for free water * VOLUME: Music was a little bit loud but not terrible * SEATING AVAILABILITY: Lotsssss of seats when I came on a Monday late morning-afternoon. Very cool that there were private rooms (which can be reserved two hours in advance if you call them), tables, bar-style seating upstairs, and most importantly, comfy couches!! * LAPTOP FRIENDLINESS: No restrictions BOTTOM LINE: I can't believe I almost missed out on this gem. I'll be back soon!

The space is really bright and calm with a ton of seating, and there were lots of people working on laptops, so it definitely feels like a good place to hang out for a while. What I loved most was the neighborhood vibe. People were greeting the barista by name and saying "see you next time" when they left, which made it feel like one of those local spots everyone secretly wants as their regular coffee shop. The barista was super friendly too and chatted with me while making my drink. I ordered the iced vanilla latte and it was great--smooth and not overly sweet (which is rare because vanilla lattes can easily taste like dessert).

I believe their espresso leans toward a lighter roast, coming through bright and expressive, while the milk drinks are dialed in with that smooth, silky texture that makes you want to savor. That said, the drinks don't always scratch the itch for me in the way I might expect but it might just be that their speciality drinks aren't quite what I typically look for. Nonetheless I do still think they have a strong coffee program and a team that clearly cares about craft.

There were about 3 people ahead of me in line and a few waiting for drinks, but I was able to order and get my drink in around 10 minutes. Staff was very friendly and checked in with us while waiting in line! I ordered the Matcha Two, which comes as a matcha latte topped with salted matcha vanilla cream foam. The foam was velvety and creamy. The matcha had a smooth, earthy flavor with subtle sweetness. Oatmilk was the default choice, and while I usually think oatmilk can overpower matcha, it worked well in this drink. It is a little pricey for 1 drink, but that also seems to be the norm these days for specialty drinks. This is more of a grab-and-go spot than a place to hang out. There's no seating, just a bench inside, and everyone waited outside since the interior is on the smaller side. Parking was easy when I went.

The coffee is delicious when served sweet and creamy and the staff is always nice to adjust your drink if you don't like it.

This drink was also delicious, but a little too sweet for me, and if you don't like cashew milk I would opt for a different beverage. The pastries are on the sweeter side, so keep that in mind if you order the almond croissant or cinnamon roll, but the flavor is there.

Every time I come in, there are 5 to 6 employees behind the counter, but more than half of them are just standing around talking and laughing. It creates a distracting environment for the few people who are actually trying to work, and it shows in how slow and disorganized everything feels. What really pushed me to write this review is how often the app is completely inaccurate. I'll get a notification saying my drink is ready, only to show up and find that it hasn't even been started yet. Meanwhile, the person who is supposed to be making drinks is busy chatting with coworkers instead of focusing on orders. This isn't a one-time thing either. It's become a pattern, and nothing seems to improve. Long waits, lack of urgency, and poor communication make the whole experience frustrating, especially when you're paying premium prices for coffee. I used to enjoy coming here, but the repeated lack of professionalism and attention to customers has really turned me off. Hopefully management steps in and addresses this, because right now it feels like customers are not a priority at all.
