I found the inside decor a bit unexpected, the green walls, the dark vibe with gold accents. It reminded me of a chic lounge or den. I was happy to see they sold drinks and baked goodies. I wasn't in the mood for coffee or a drink, but decided to check out the sweet treats. I was so excited they had Portuguese egg tarts. I am very familiar with the Asian egg tarts, but I haven't had the Portuguese kind. I was eyeing up the banana pudding, but I decided to not get it. Prices seemed a bit high so we just went for 4 egg tarts. We relaxed a bit while our order was ready. They warmed them up, I decided to try one since I am not from this area. MY, oh MY, oh my!!!!!!!!?!!!!!?!!?!!! They were so good, the outside was super flakey, not greasy. The egg center was warm, not too 'eggy' and the sweetness level was just perfect. They were honestly to die for. I contemplated for a few minutes to BUY MORE even though I had only eaten one. I thought, I'm not from this area, so I might as well get more! I ended up getting 5 more, each tart leans on the expensive side for how small they are, but they are mighty delicious!!! I also decided to try the sea salt chocolate chip cookie: Classic Cookie. Traditional components with a dash of sea salt to accentuate the taste of rich imported Belgian chocolate Egg tarts: 5/5!!!!! Honestly when I put in my 2nd order, I couldn't help myself to tell the people behind me how dang good the egg tarts are... They told me they ended up getting some just because I mentioned it.. The salted chocolate cookie looked different to me, it is shaped like a mound. I thought this was good, full of chocolate and the sea salt was good. Would I order it again? Maybe, maybe not. 3/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Food: 4/5

The service is consistently fast and friendly, which makes it the perfect spot to grab a drink during the workday. My go-to order is the Lavender Fields Matcha or a matcha latte with ube added. The ube adds just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the matcha. I've also tried their smoked avocado toast, and it's just as good as their drinks. If you're in the area and looking for a quality matcha or a quick breakfast, I highly recommend stopping by!

I have…read morebeen to the Newport location many times, so I was excited for a change in scenery and to observe similarities and differences between the two locations. This trip to KIT started a bit chaotically as I did not expect to find this location in the middle of a dense business complex, which made parking a bit difficult (there's a paid parking garage) and added a few minutes to our trip. If you're short on time, plan accordingly. However, once we were in, we were nicely welcomed by 2 employees. This interior is on the smaller end with limited indoor seating, but ample outdoor seating right in front of KIT. An ideal place if you're looking for somewhere to do work outside. We decided to stick to drinks: Iced Triple Double Matcha & (an employee recommended) Salted Caramel Matcha. These drinks came out in a reasonable amount of time and were both very flavorful. It was actually my friend's first time at KIT, and now she's obsessed!

Safe to say that I'm obsessed but I think that's a testament to how good their matcha and pastries are. Their matcha is my new favorite in OC. I get the matcha latte at 75% sweet which is SO SO GOOD! It's a perfect balance of sweet and still being able to taste the flavor and bitterness of the matcha. I'm surprised more people don't talk about their matcha. Don't get me started on their pastries and desserts... ALSO SO GOOD. They have such a huge variety of pastries, both sweet and savory, that it's hard to choose but that also means there's something for everyone. My favorites are their blueberry brioche, matcha cruffin, and egg bacon bread. The egg bacon bread surprised me since it's made of rice flour and has a chewy/mochi like consistency - it's so unique and you just have to try it. When you enter, you wait in line and let the staff know which pastries you want and they'll grab them for you to put in a box. Once you get to the cashier, you can order your drinks there.

I see them make drinks, show demonstrations for their pour overs, as well as sit down with patrons to simply share knowledge about their coffee/teas. i thought that was very personable as it shows how much they care about their craft.

However, since more people in my immediate social/tourist circle know the brand of Meet Fresh better, this place doesn't provide the same bragging rights for them. After we were done and stood up, the next customer sat down immediately in the seats we were not finished vacating. We had 3 purses left over and had not finished picking them up before they just jumped in, so you have to be fast to vacate. This experience just made me prefer takeout more, but I think my tourists wanted air conditioning and there was not enough outdoor seating for our party. Maybe next time I can eat a quantity more befitting of a smaller party.

The cafe is now run by ChocoFruit, and unfortunately, the experience was a significant disappointment. When I walked in on a quiet Thursday morning, I was not greeted at all by the two employees working. It was incredibly awkward because they did not acknowledge me, even when I attempted to say hello. Since I was essentially ignored, I used the kiosk to order. While I found the number of options for pastries and crepes to be overwhelming, I was surprised and disappointed by the lack of variety in their coffee menu. The quality of our orders was unfortunately just as poor as the service. I ordered an iced Spanish latte, and my friend ordered a strawberry matcha and a chocolate pistachio croissant. The drinks were flavorless- my latte tasted entirely like milk with no hint of coffee or cinnamon, and the color was noticeably off. The croissant was even worse, as it appeared to have been microwaved and placed in a plastic container, which made the pastry sweat and turn soggy before we even had a chance to eat it. It looked and tasted like a low-grade, bulk-bought item rather than a freshly made pastry, which was particularly frustrating given the price. The only bright spot during the visit was a young man who entered from the back kitchen as I was leaving. He was the only staff member to offer a warm interaction when I said thank you for my order. Aside from that, the atmosphere remained cold and uncomfortable throughout my time in there. It is truly sad to see an establishment that used to be a great spot go so far downhill. I likely won't be returning, but I wanted to share this feedback in the hopes that management addresses these significant lapses in both service and product quality.

If you're in the area, definitely stop by and grab one.

The salads are always fresh and flavorful- my favorite is the BLAT salad. I also appreciate all of the gluten free options! Definitely must try if you're in the area.

It is located right next to the spaghetteria and grabbed a small cup of pistachio gelato…read more The pistachio was really good. Smooth, creamy, and had a natural nutty flavor that didn't taste artificial or overly sweet. Simple, but done really well. The cafe itself has a clean, modern feel and is a nice little extension of the restaurant. Easy spot to grab something sweet after a meal. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Perfect way to end it. Definitely would grab this again.

Use to absolutely love this family owned buisness however it seems to have gone hill tremendously…read moresince they expanded with a second location in Orange. It seems the family who owns and manages it is too stretched and have allowed really odd non-sensical policies and bad training to now be in place. 1. No more free refills on drinks included iced teas when dining in for dinner or lunch. 2. Most the new staff dont know the food menu in the Cafe register area. I have had to spell out and point on the menu multiple times to what I want as they are not familiar with their own menu. 3. We typically order to go at the café and eat in the Cafe at the Cafe tables. They told use recent thats no longer allowed which makes zero sense. 4. They forget to call names for take out orders on 2 occasions which had made our food cold multiple times. 5. They do zero changes or alterations to any food. Ever. Unfortunately a once awesome staple in the community has becomes mis-managed and gone down hill.
