i liked the atmosphere here! the place is really nice in the nice neighbourhood. i got strawberry matcha which was authentic and perfectly made. thank u MOri's!!! read more

Great ambiance and the drinks were great. I would come back. The service was good and quick.

My favorite matcha spot in OC/Irvine!! Mori's matcha is such a gem located in irvine. Ever since I've tried their banana cream matcha, I couldn't stop thinking about it since. The ceremonial matcha is top grade and beautiful fragrance that makes you keep coming back for more. The store is small but the baristas are very friendly, quick and efficient. The wait time is little to none because they're so good at making them so efficiently. The quality is always so consistent. I've tried the banana cream matcha latte, pistachio cream matcha latte, sesame cloud Hojicha, and blueberry Hojicha. They're all so delicious but my favorite is their banana cream matcha, 100/10!! If you're a matcha fan, give them a try!! You will not disappoint. read more

Due to Mori's manager reaching out to me, I decided to try them again. The service was completely different from my first visit--in a good way. It was a pleasant surprise. The garlic chicken was really good. The combination of flavors and textures from the chicken, vegetables, and rice worked well together. I'll be back to try their drinks. Thank you, Jane, for reaching out. read more

I had this place bookmarked for a while so was excited to finally try this spot given its good reviews. Upon entering, you see the place has very limited seating and limited outdoor parking as well. I got the Shizouka matcha latte. The staff asked if I wanted original, rich or extra rich, so I picked extra rich for more matcha flavor. It wasn't until check out did I realize it was an extra $2 charge! The staff didn't inform me of this so I ended up getting the original. This drink was quite disappointing. For a place that specialzies in their matcha, you can't taste much matcha flavor at all. A lot of people seem to be getting their flavored matchas so maybe that's what their better for, but just as an original matcha latte, it's a hard pass. I also tried the Sesame Cloudy hojicha which comes with a biscoff biscuit. This too, didn't have a good blend of flavors. The hojicha was not very strong and the sesame flavor was only in the powder they sprinkle on top, not the actual drink. I also tried their foods, the Unagi grain bowl and Garlic chicken breast bowl. They both came with a decent amount, had some veggies and corn. Flavor itself was good, not too outstanding and the unagi had quite a few tiny bones in there. For a place that had limited seating, if you came at a busy time, you'd really have nowhere to enjoy the food. Although majority of people come just for drinks, they also sat around to drink too. Given the quality of food and drinks, the price was also on the higher side. Overall, would probably pass if you're looking for a good drink spot given other better spots in Irvine. read more

Good quality. Speedy service. There's a kiosk to order at or you can talk to the staff. The matcha is a nice green but I'm not sure if it's better than other places in the area. read more

1. I love the creamy texture of the matcha, and I can definitely taste the pistachio nuts! The sandwich was also well-crafted! 2. The spot has chill casual vibes! The interior is cozy! 3. The staff was friend and timely with my order! It was ready in about 10 mins! 4. There are indoor and outdoor seatings! There are few tables! 5. Garage parking and timed front parking spots are available! Note: I did not easily see a restroom available for customers! Photo: Honey Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Creamy Pistachio Matcha read more

I've been on a blueberry matcha grind, as I still feel a plain simple matcha latte is best made at home. Mori's matcha definitely delivered on the flavor here. I noticed they prescoop their fruit puree/jam(?) in cups to store in their front display fridge. There is a kiosk to order or you can order at the front with a staff member if available. Several signs posted around the store with special flavors & an opportunity for free Assam milk tea with Yelp review. I got the blueberry matcha with 75% sweetness. I tried to sip the matcha first without mixing too much, but with 1 stir I could already taste the blueberry. A few stirs in, I was drinking a perfectly sweetened blueberry matcha, but I was concerned about the rest of the blueberry puree still at the bottom of the cup. Next time, I would further decrease the sweetness since the puree is quite sweet after mixing all the way. I needed to wait for the ice to melt a bit to balance this. Otherwise, the puree itself had bits of blueberry that I could taste, would get again! read more

Cute spot, not much seating. Outside seems limited parking (they aren't too strict with the time limit i think), but there is a parking garage behind the cafe (not the ones across in the parking lot road but the opposite road from the street). Kiosk order. Pretty fast but more of a to go spot The matcha was not too sweet, got 50% and it was a bit grassy. They have lactose free whole milk and oat milk. The guava matcha is just guava jam with matcha, but balanced. They also have various rice bowls. The hojicha had a slight roast flavor and wasnt too grainy or strong in either way, the cream top is not super creamy and didnt come with too much. Overall like medium tier quality, decent portion. Come here for a casual local fix thats close by to the university read more

Mori’s - Iced Matcha Tea and Ceremonial Uji Matcha Latte (half sweet) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

Best cream top in OC? I said what I said We got the guava matcha latte and sesame cloudy hojicha. Not to mention how perfectly the cream top complemented the hojicha drink. Their matcha is so good too the bitterness is really there in the best way. Only downside: we got there around 9:30 and they opened at 8:30, but there were only a couple sandwiches left so come early if you want food too! MOri's is so close to UCI in Irvine, so save this for your next cafe run! read more

The matcha was not only strong but also very tasty! I ordered thru DoorDash so I can't really talk about the ambience or the service. I work doubles on The Weekends and need my Caffeine fix so I've tried out various places in the area but I for sure found my to go spot no doubt! I will keep ordering from here Very impressed and satisfied (: read more

Had this place on my "try" list for a while now, and finally came to try it out. It's located in an apartment complex, within their living space, amongst other small businesses. The parking is sparse, and the shop is tiny. More of a to-go spot, however plenty of seating outside. The drinks/food are ordered via kiosk system. You can customize sweetness levels as well as ice levels. We ordered three different drinks, and all were on the higher price points, for a coffee shop. Nothing really stood out to me and the ube matcha was just ube dusted along the cup, and was stuck to the side. Unfortunately I will not be adding this place to my rotation. read more

Mori's has a great selection of drinks, from matcha to guava teas and more. I went with the Banana Cream Matcha, and it came out looking beautiful. Even better, it tasted amazing. You can adjust the sweetness to your liking, but I stuck with the regular sweetness, and it was perfect. It let the matcha really shine while adding a subtle banana cream flavor that complemented it without overpowering it. If you're a matcha lover, I highly recommend checking this place out! read more

Yummy Taro Matcha! Swung by UCI and stopped at this spot on the way back home. Not too sweet which I like, only issue is the taro was stuck to the sides of the cup! I used a spoon to scrape the rest of it once I was done with my drink. Service was friendly and my drink was ready super quick. Outside seating was nice, although in the middle of some apartments or something. Just make sure to park in the structure, there's a lot more parking and it's free! read more

Really good matcha! I got the banana cream matcha and creamy pistachio matcha. Both of them were really good and the quality of matcha is delicious. Their matcha has an earthy taste which I really like. There is a self check out kiosk on the left when you enter, which is easily missed if you don't see their signage. If I'm back in the area, I'd definitely visit Mori's again. read more

The quality of the matcha is really good and creamy. The hojicha was also delicious. The space is pretty small and not located in an easily accessible area so I took off a few points for that. The waitstaff didn't greet when we entered and the self order machine was to the side of the entry so it was a little confusing on how we should order. It was an okay experience. Not bad, but not great either. read more

Mori's is a cute place for small hangouts or just to stop by for a quick drink. I got the banana cream hojicha. I was really excited to try their new series as I saw so many people try out their matcha. I always love a good hojicha latte, I wouldn't say the banana flavoring is too strong compared to other banana drinks I've ordered in the past. I also like it when the hojicha has a stronger roasted flavor, and I didn't feel like I got it as much. However, my drink was still really good, and I'd definitely come back to try their other drinks. Service was limited and got my drink out somewhat quickly as it was busy the night I went. Warning : there's little parking available around the area so I wouldn't try to plan to sit down anywhere or stay for such a long time read more

I see this place a lot and my friend and I were enticed by the menu so we came inside to order. It's a small quaint shop with a wide variety of food and drinks. I ordered the taro fresh milk and my friend ordered the house cold brew. I've tried many taro drinks and this was probably the worst one. It just tasted like milk but had the texture of coconut shavings. I attempted to mix everything on my drive, but it was all clumped at the bottom so I couldn't mix it until I got home. Even then it still wasn't good. I'm not sure if that's just how they handcraft their ube/taro but I personally was not a fan. For my friend, she said her house cold brew was alright, not too strong. Now that might have just been our experience so if you want to try for yourself, please do, but I will not be returning here personally. read more

I really enjoyed the banana cream hojicha. The banana flavor was not too overpowering and wasn't artificial tasting at all. My fiance got the guava matcha and he really enjoyed it. Their drinks are not super sweet. There are a bunch of signs about how their sweetener is just naturally less sweet but was kind of confusing to understand. I definitely want to return for the hojicha but also to try some of their food. read more

Funny enough, my partner and I saw a video of their matcha so we drove to try it! Their shop was very cute, tucked away by a few apartment buildings, making it a great place for an afternoon matcha. We saw a few people in there studying and some even relaxing with their pets! Their regular matcha had very good ceremonial matcha and was very high quality. I don't like my matcha too sweet and they made it exactly how I liked it. Their strawberry matcha latte was also very good! The standout for that drink was how delicious the strawberry puree is! read more

This place is more known for its food and now is leaning towards their drink menu. I happened to be in the area and wanted to give the matcha a try. They use Maru Koyamaen which is known for their high-quality matcha & lactose free milk without a charge. Already a plus in my books! The barista asked how strong I wanted my matcha and I chose "Rich" since it was the most popular. My drink had a beautiful rich green color that meets my matcha standards. Will be back to try the highest level of their matcha latte! read more

They have kind staff who are very helpful and detailed in explaining the drinks. One of them (pink hair girl and girl in the green shirt) even offered to remake my drink due to an error. However, the taste of the food and drinks are enough to make me not want to come back. I have ordered the double matcha 3 times now and each time the foam has such a sour smell. The garlic chicken breast bowl is also extremely dry. I do also wish their kiosk allowed customizations on their Guava Latte. I do not like the foam on that drink as it is also sour in a way that the foam tastes as if it's going bad but there is no option to remove the foam on that drink compared to the others. Their granola on the banana cream does create an odd texture on the drink so I would recommend removing it. I would like to update and say I came back in today to order it again and seems like the two same girls (Lili/minh) were working. I had let them know my concerns from last time and they were able to recommend a different drink for me which I did like. They also offered to make it for free which was very generous and I appreciate that a lot. However, the food is still subpar, I would recommend going somewhere else for food. It is quite expensive for the portion and the price you pay. The amount of beef given is so small to cost $20 for the bowl. read more

came here at opening for the hojicha latte. i like that they have lactose free milk options here! i got it extra creamy and at their recommended sweetness. given the color of the hojicha, i was expecting a very strong flavor but it was a little muted. i wish it had a bit more flavor but maybe it's also because i prefer a slightly sweeter hojicha. next time ill have to try it with a bit more sweetness. service was good, the girl was bombarded with a few orders at once but she was quick! inside has a couple of places to stand and wait for your drink but not really sit. read more

pretty unsuspecting cafe, I'd never heard of Mori's until a friend recommended it to me as her favorite matcha spot in Irvine. I ordered the Uji matcha latte, 75% sweet, with richness and oat milk. I was blown away! It was so simple but still hit all the right notes. It was light, mildly sweet (perfect balance where it's not overly sweet but also doesn't have the grassy taste), and yet still creamy. I loved this drink and would totally get it again. read more
