    Located on the side of the east library it's a great friendly place. If you're in a rush this isn't a good place. Parking is simple and convenient. Service and food was good, I'll come back.

    Hello everyone I've been DYING to tell everyone about this hidden gem I found! I'm always going to the library when I'm in town for my Orthodontic appointments because I have to pass time due to me always coming down from Lancaster on the train. So I was hungry and wanted to eat before heading in and I noticed they had a cafe and I was skeptical at first but when I walked in I was amazed to see so much stuff available. So many snacks and drinks and other stuff like pens and notebooks you know writing and study materials. There is also a very good variety of a menu for cooked foods and drinks. I was in the mood for a smoothie that day and so I came across the berry one and surprise surprise you can also create your own smoothie which I love that as an option. The lady is very nice and answered my questions about what comes in the smoothies due to me not trying to eat a lot of dairy she had dairy free options for Milk which I appreciated. I definitely will be coming here every chance I get. It's a great study place due to it being so calm and peaceful. There is a fountain in there and for me I definitely love the sound of water while in any calm environment. Til next time Cafe

    For being connected to the library this place was clean Basic little coffee shop with coffee, juice, etc. A few baked goods and a cold case with bottled/canned stuff. Chips and cookies and stuff. I just got a strawberry smoothie and it wasnt terrible. It was light, like its not mixed with ice cream or anything. Nice cute little spot, hope it stays clean and whatnot.

    They have some tasty treats on their menu, from Espressos   pastries,  ice blended drinks   to fruits and vegetables

    The cafe has a very personable and welcoming vibe. Their menu includes a wide variety of pastries, ice coffees, smoothie drinks ( The coffee drinks are high quality, handcrafted and pretty well made.)

    Update: Got the roast beef sandwich and fruit today...both good! And the mayo package in the roast beef sandwich was Kraft brand which is awesome; I have a thing for mayo and I hate when they have off brand mayo in sandwiches Finally a place to get something to eat/drink at the library! Don't have to drive out anymore! Only got coffee but other things look yummy too! They even have Korean cup ramen!! Lol! Def getting one of those next time!

Inside Vivot, it's giving "finals week survival zone" with students glued to laptops, one brave employee running the entire operation, and a self-order kiosk doing its best emotional support role. We kept our Matcha Latte classy, 25% sweetness with oat milk to really interrogate the matcha and honestly it passed the vibe check!! Smooth, solid, and worth the parking gymnastics. Oh and also, they are open late, closes at 11pm week nights and midnight on weekends.

I had ordered a milk tea and their Thai tea and was super disappointed with the flavor it was complete milk unfortunately and no sweeteners despite us having the 100% sweetener option. The drinks came out very far from each other time wise as well which isn't a super big issue but it's noticeable and could be an issue for bigger orders. Super busy somehow so we didn't want to burden the worker while the store had a rush. Other than that the place gave me a very pretentious vibe. I'm all for starting a business you're passionate about but it's hard to see what's different about THIS cafe in a world full of other businesses claiming to be different that's serving the same items (matcha specifically). Not to say that there's not bad matcha or coffee out there, there is. Seems like the type of cafe people go to take a picture of their drinks and pretend like they're connoisseurs and pretend that it's "different" than whatever else is out there and sit and pretend to study on their laptop (even though it's the loudest and crowded place in the world in there). Seeing that the place opened recently, it's very hard to believe this isn't some type of money grab for a younger audience to serve trendy drinks. Or at the very least, a very expensive passion project for the owner. Overall just more focused on aesthetics more than anything.

That said, I've run into the same issue twice now (including today and once about 3 months ago): the bathroom was out of order both times. I'm not sure if I've just had bad luck, but it definitely impacts the experience--especially when you're planning to stay and work for a while and end up having to leave to find a restroom. I still genuinely enjoy this place and will keep coming back for the coffee, but I hope the restroom situation gets addressed because it would make a big difference in the overall experience.

I grabbed the Strawberry Matcha cake slice, and it looked absolutely beautiful. I was on my lunch break, so I didn't get a chance to try more, but everything in the display looked amazing. They had so many cake selections, plus pastries and drinks, which definitely makes me want to come back and actually spend more time there. Even though it was super busy, the service was impressively fast and efficient. One employee helped take my order and package everything up, and the cashier rang me up quickly, so the whole process was seamless and perfect when you're on a lunch break. The atmosphere felt very family-friendly, and despite how busy it was, the experience was still smooth. Parking is free, there's a small lot directly in front, but if that fills up, there's additional parking in the connected plaza, which makes it easy. I didn't get to try the cake but brother-in-law and sister said the cake was delicious. If you're in the Fullerton area and looking for a cute dessert spot with lots of options, this is definitely worth checking out!

Overall, it was a delicious latte, and I finished it a little quickly. It was nice to see all the different kinds of decorations at their patio again. The music playing was a mix of American and Korean pop. Like before, the cashier gives you a pager that prompts you to come back to the counter to pick up your order. I parked by the curb on N. Richman Ave. as there was a lot of space to leave my car.
