I came in yesterday (on a busy Friday) and the barista was still super friendly and helpful in giving me recommendations. She recommended the brown rice drink and the pumpkin toffee latte, and I went with the pumpkin. It was sooo yum thank you to the barista (I think she said her name is Azeylia). read more

A hidden gem in Irvine! Great breakfast/coffee spot. Have been here a few times and each time has been a great experience. Food and coffee is consistently good. The ambiance is perfect for hanging out or getting work done. Coffee wise, have tried the Nutella Madeleine and their seasonal Pumpkin Latte. You can completely customize each drink when ordering which is so nice. Both drinks were fantastic, with the Nutella one being my fave. Food wise, the Bacon Egg and Cheese sandwich was delicious. Perfect size for breakfast. Great vibe here. Staff was very friendly. The whole place is super clean and welcoming. Will definitely be back when in the area! read more

Update** Krisp is trying to solve the problem for me. Although it might be Toast issue, customers are encouraged to check credit card transaction when encounter problems. --------------------------------------------- I got 2 cups of coffee and was charged 3 times! I asked for void receipts and the manager said the charge will cancel overnight but my credit card was charged! Their system is not reliable, please check carefully. read more

I've only tried the strawberry matcha and the freshly brewed black tea with fruit infusion. The prices are reasonable compared to other tea shops, but personally, I found the flavors to be just average. Nothing particularly stood out to me. The ambience of the shop is nice and welcoming . Service is good, easy to communicate and making adjustments to the drinks. Nice outdoor area with shade. There is also an open cafeteria a min walk in side the food court. Parking is limited to 90min. read more

The coconut matcha was so good!! I really like their matcha foam, there were sea salt flakes on it that made it very yummy. I like that they use harmless harvest coconut water so it's definitely better than other coconut matchas I've tried around OC. read more

Honestly disappointing, especially what appears to be good reviews of this place. The only positive factor I can remember is how much seating there is inside (lots of people just meeting up, working, etc). - You order on two available consoles, which you think would help with efficiency and workflow (it was pretty busy when I got there). However, it took my drink a while to come out. There was a sign above the consoles that indicate ETA of the drink. Based on the color I thought it would be a quick wait but it ended up taking 15 minutes. It seems like the coffee station, manned by one person it seems, was cranking out multiple drinks whereas the drink I got (matcha) took a long time - this is despite me being one of few matcha drinks ordered when I was waiting... - I noticed that as the barista was whisking my drink, she took the whisk out, took a look at the whisk then with her bare hands touched the tip of the whisk and reinserted it into the cup.. all without washing her hands or using gloves... I honestly wanted to say something but I was already in a rush and didn't want to make a scene at an already busy hour and the barista looked kind of frazzled already... - If you are hoping for a strong matcha, this isn't the place to go to. I got the blueberry matcha, which was a pale green in a color and it tasted like a premade mix of blueberry matcha.. although calling it matcha may be a bit generous as the drink just tasted like blueberry milk...Not sure if I'll be coming back.. not for matcha any way read more

Not sure if it was just the drink I ordered or more of a personal preference, but I didn't really love it. It tasted a little too milky and sweet for me, and I could barely taste the matcha. I think I would've enjoyed it a lot more if the matcha flavor came through stronger! read more

Update: I wanted to come back and update my review because the business reached out to me personally after seeing my experience. They offered me a refund and took the time to look into what happened, which I really appreciated. While I was disappointed with my visit, I'm glad they took the time to follow up and make things right. It sounds like this was likely a one-off situation and I'm sure they're still a great spot for matcha. What stood out to me most was how much they genuinely care about their customers and their experience. That kind of customer service really means a lot and I'm excited to stop by again the next time I'm in the area and give them another try! read more

very solid match spot! came here on a Sunday morning, like was short, self service kiosk to order, waited about 5-10 minutes, lots of searing inside, and minimal outside seating: strawberry matcha: perfect portions! not too sweet, not too earthy. got me energized and ready for the day! I will definitely be coming back. read more

Love this place - 2 minutes away from my work. Was craving a juice for lunch so I got the. RAW Juicery "Red Cure" which consisted of: cucumber, apple, extra ginger, lemon & cilantro. They also have other juices, but this is what I wanted. They also have coffees, teas, hot foods, etc. Service was friendly, quick and they also have kiosks which I used. Clean cafe with lots of natural light and pet friendly patio! read more

KRISP was highly recommended to me by a coworker - especially their matcha. The place itself is very busy and the vibe feels like it's very college student friendly. I will have to say that their menu looked so appetizing but fell short. Their KRISP burrito was basically a super hard tortilla - not crisp, HARD and stiff - with very oily contents. Obviously, a breakfast burrito is going to have oil, but it was a bit much considering it was dripping out the whole time. I couldn't finish eating it. The matcha was pretty good but I think their food was such letdown so I wouldn't make the 30-40 min commute through traffic. read more

KRISP Fresh Living - Strawberry Matcha and KRISP Morning Burrito - Acai Bowls Near Me - Irvine, California

Stopped by for a quick bite and some matcha after seeing so many reviews, but sadly don't plan to return. KRISP is an interesting place in that it was very busy, but I didn't see a single person content with their order, and multiple people coming to the counter to address issues they had with their order (myself included). The staff are nice, but they definitely seemed overwhelmed and on their back foot trying to keep up with everyone. They use a digital kiosk for ordering which can be convenient, but is frustrating to use when you find out that the things you ordered are out of stock after you've paid and waited for the items (which happened to me). The shop itself has indoor and outdoor seating, but the layout makes the entrance get congested because you're picking up your order where people are entering which isn't ideal. On the food and beverage front, we tried a bunch of stuff: Blueberry Matcha and Strawberry Matcha: The blueberry matcha is extremely sweet (they said it's their sweetest matcha), and the strawberry matcha isn't far behind that. My biggest issue is their matches are all pre-sweetened, so you can't even adjust the sweetness because it's in their matcha already. The term "organic ceremonial grade Uji matcha" should have never been used for pre-sweetened matcha like this, because it was a disgrace to the term. KRISP Breakfast Burrito: These burritos are pre-made and delivered by a third party and then nuked in a microwave before serving. It's the same thing you'd get at most other coffee shops (ie Alfred). The red salsa it comes with is great though, but the burrito is just fine considering what it is. Almond Croissant: oh man I really wanted to like this, especially since I saw how much almond filling they used. Unfortunately the filling was completely bland, so there wasn't much almond going on with this. Ham & Cheese Croissant: This was also bland, and looked like someone had stepped on it. Just a real sad state of affairs. Berry Orchard Açaí Bowl: Probably the best thing we got, but I hate how they serve it in one of those parfait cups because all the contents keeps spilling out as you eat it. I wish it was in an actual bowl so you can eat it without losing half the toppings to the ground. Overall, I don't see a reason to come back here, and really don't think it's worth the cost given the quality of everything. As others have said, there's a lot of solid options in the area that deserve your patronage over this place. read more

There's plenty of room inside to study and sit all day. There's also minimal seating outside if you prefer fresh air. They have a sign to tell you how long your order will take, and it's pretty accurate. The staff are friendly and willing to help you if you have questions, otherwise you order at the two kiosks. I think their "wait here" signs on the ground can be a little misleading but otherwise there's no issues. The drinks taste good and are high quality. We ordered the Pandan Matcha Latte and the Blueberry Lemon Matcha Latte. I think the Blueberry Lemon (seasonal) was AMAZING. It tastes just like a pie, and it isn't too sweet. I think the Pandan matcha could've been stronger. It is very subtle when drinking, but still tastes good and has a good matcha to milk ratio. read more

Krisp Fresh Living is easily one of my favorite places to grab a drink whenever i'm in Irvine. I always get the blueberry matcha ($7.50) and it never disappoints. It's usually pretty busy, but they move fast and the service is always quick and efficient. I've tried most of their signature drinks and they're always delicious! Definitely a staple for me. read more

NGL - drinks are legit thus they're not getting 1 star but.... Seriously what has society come to? When your console is out of order, and you are unable to process requests through it, why are you unable to accept my order verbally you know like a conversation like humans have? I was told to go to the website instead, and place my order since the console was broken, and just locating your website and getting to menu is a challenge. How about a I'm sorry about the inconvenience and here's a free drink on us next time or a little discount for wasting eight minutes of your day today. Disappointed... Didn't order anything and left - not a flying F was given for the troubles, found a nearby competitor that I didn't know existed. New spot... read more

After looking for some options for places to study I ended up choosing this place. It was pretty crowded on a Friday afternoon but I was able to snag a seat near window. There were a good amount of plugs so that I can charge my devices. The place was cute and the music wasn't too loud. Parking can get a bit hard since there's so many stores and not much parking. I got the blueberry matcha and I would say it was not bad, although not my favorite. The matcha was on the grassy side but the notes of blueberry were definitely there. I would be down to try their other drinks next time if I ever wanted to come back and study! read more

Really enjoyed my visit to this coffee shop! Ordering was super easy thanks to the screens, which show clear pictures and descriptions of each coffee -- a nice touch, especially if you like to know exactly what you're getting. Even though it was the weekend, service was fast and efficient. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and ready to help if you had any questions. I ordered a regular iced vanilla latte with oat milk and it was so good I drank it before I even left the parking lot. My friend got the black sesame latte, and that was also delicious -- definitely worth trying. We'll for sure be back! read more

I've made it my goal to try the strawberry matcha at every new coffee spot I visit. Krisp, you nailed it. I loved the strawberry puree bottom, not too sweet and blended so well with the matcha. There's a kiosk at the front where you can order for yourself and a gal was there ready to help with any questions etc when it came to ordering. Service was quick, mind you it was still early enough that we weren't hit with so many people. There's plenty of seating, lighting is great, parking in this area can get crazy as there are many popular retails/restaurants, so I'd say come early! Looking forward to trying more of their other drinks, as they all look pretty enticing. read more

KRISP Fresh Living - 1.4.26- Strawberry Matcha - Acai Bowls Near Me - Irvine, California

If you're looking for incredible açaí bowls and top-tier matcha in Irvine, Krisp is the spot! I love that they let me customize my drinks, I'm sensitive to caffeine, and they easily modified the amount of matcha powder for me. Their açaí bowls are absolutely loaded with fresh fruit, too. It's always bustling here, but it's totally worth it. The blueberry matcha is a must-try, and they just launched a new strawberry coconut matcha drink that is delicious. Pro-tip: It gets pretty busy and loud inside, so definitely bring your headphones if you plan to hang out! read more

Placed an order for pick up at 7:50AM, and placed it ahead of time the night before to make sure it would be ready on time. Order was not ready until 20 minutes past pick up time, making me late for work. I ordered 2 matchas, and 2 acai bowls. I tried to give the benefit of the doubt, but one of the workers took forever on the last acai bowl because he was trying to make multiple at once. Meanwhile, 3 of my items were ready for 10 minutes just sitting there while the worker took his time making the last one. Also, I was watching them make drinks as I was waiting for my order, and saw that they use very low quality milk, whether plant-based or whole, they use brands with bad ingredients in them. The matcha I got did not taste good, and one of the acai bowls were already melted and watery by the time I received it. After this awful experience, I will not be returning. read more

This place is honestly a 3.5!! The space is amazing for studying but my friend and I got here about 10 minutes after they opened so the parking wasn't bad and there were still a lot of available tables. They filled up pretty quick though with most tables being full around 10 AM. I got the blueberry matcha and my friend for the white macadamia oat latte. She really liked her drink and rated it highly but my blueberry matcha was a bit disappointing. There was no matcha flavor and it just tasted like a sweet blueberry milk. The drink wasn't bad. If I didn't know it was matcha, I was enjoy it as a sweet blueberry drink. I do want to come back to try their black sesame or honey cinnamon latte though! Maybe they just don't do matcha super well. read more

Krisp has been my go to coffee spot ever since I was a UCI student and it has never failed me in all the years I've been going! Parking can get tricky because the plaza gets busy depending on time of day. The inside is modern with lots of seating indoors and outdoors. There are 2 self order kiosks. Gets pretty busy in the morning and during lunch hour as it's surrounded by businesses. I appreciate that they have a sign that indicates anticipated wait times. Staff are always super friendly. White Macadamia Oat Latte 10/10 - I love this drink. I think the flavor combo goes really well together and theirs has the perfect balance of white chocolate and macadamia nut. Other places lean more towards one of the flavors, but Krisp does it right. It's definitely on the sweeter side which is my preference so keep that in mind if you don't like your drinks as sweet. read more

I was excited to try the morning burrito but honestly I was so disappointed by it :( the burrito itself was toasted so the outside was warmed, but the inside was still so so cold.

I stopped at Krisp Coffee in Irvine with a buddy last minute and this place completely caught me off guard. I was not expecting it to have one of the best strawberry matchas I have had and honestly I think it is better than some of my favorite spots like Caffe in Coffee and Daydream Coffee. The matcha was smooth and not bitter at all and the strawberry syrup was the perfect balance. Not too sweet, not overpowering, and just the right mix of creaminess, strawberry flavor, matcha, and ice. I downed the whole thing in seconds and have been raving about it ever since to my other matcha friends. Everyone who has tried it so far agrees this place makes some bomb matcha. Definitely a new go to spot for me in Irvine. Staff was super sweet as well and the place has a very modern and vibey feel to it! The inside seating is a bit limited but they have quite a few tables outside to work or study! read more

I hate this place with a passion! No matter how many chances I've given them, there is ALWAYS something wrong with my order--it's late, missing items, or simply incorrect. This morning, I placed an online order before even leaving my house. When it was supposed to be ready for pickup, I received a text saying that one or more items had been canceled. The problem? The link didn't tell me which item was canceled. I called the number provided, and of course, no one answered. The greeting simply tells you to email them with questions. Seriously?! How long is that going to take to get a response?! When I finally arrived at the store, I was told they were out of burritos, so I had to get bagels for a meeting instead. Unfortunately, the bagels were stale, hard, and completely inedible. The customer service is consistently terrible, and at this point, I'm done giving them chances. The only thing I actually like is their sea salt jasmine tea--which, unfortunately, isn't enough to make me want to deal with this place again. Truly disappointing. read more

I ordered the matcha and the description said sweetness is set so I gave it a try. I also had an option for an extra scoop of matcha, which I accepted gleefully.

Indoor and outdoor seating. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

KRISP Fresh Living - Signature Matcha with extra scoop - Acai Bowls Near Me - Irvine, California

KRISP fresh living is definitely fresh living with acai bowls, coffee, and smoothies, there's a sense of clean satisfaction in the menu and service. Now that said, I had two drinks, the banana latte and the sweet corn matcha. Banana latte: I have given this place 4 stars because honestly the banana latte, specifically the espresso, was not exactly what I was expecting. It could have been the specific coffee I ordered, but it was medium good. Nothing special and didn't really get that banana flavor I was expecting. That said this place gets a 4 because they introduced me to sweet corn matcha and they do it beautifully! Sweet Corn matcha: This drink tastes like a matcha cornbread and something I would never have expected, but was amazing. I was able to see it being made and a scoop of fresh corn was added to my matcha and I was pleasantly surprised. This drink was a combo I loved and the sweet corn bits really made it. I must come back for another! All that said, I see myself coming back:) give their unique menu a try. read more
