i recommend their strawberry matcha ! I haven't had their food yet but it usually smells very good.

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

Very consistent with their matcha, even though it's already pre made it still taste fresh. I like how you can customize the sweetness level The girl working here recommended their new guava drink and it was so good. Guava was not overpowering, it was a hint of fresh guava and good matcha flavor all well balanced 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

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

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

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

My friend and I stopped by to check out their matcha drinks. I ordered the pistachio matcha latte, which was creamy and lightly sweet, topped with toasted pistachios. Next time, I'd definitely ask for it a bit sweeter. Service was fast and friendly. Seating inside is limited, but there are extra tables available outside. Guest parking is conveniently located in the parking structure behind the building. read more

Friendly service and clean interior. I believe they recently changed their menu board so I wish I took a photo. We got the signature matcha latte and the cloud sesame hojicha. The matcha has a grassier so keep that in mind since it's not everyone's cup of tea. Both lattes were very watered down in my opinion. The hojicha didn't have a strong flavor and didn't feel creamy or rich, even with the cream top. Everything just leaned a bit on the watery side for my taste unfortunately. I know this place is popular so maybe we came on an off day but I still recommend trying it out! read more

An amazing Matcha spot has taken over the location where a prominent kimbap place used to be, and to be honest, I'm really liking it! Situated in Avenue One is Mori's, a place recommended to me by a friend who is a Matcha connoisseur. In fact, when I walked in, I immediately saw the cans of matcha she prepares on the shelf! They definitely know what they are doing. A small place, there isn't much seating except for a raised bar, and a few chairs outside, but you can walk up a few feet and get to a shared patio for all the restaurants. I had the blueberry matcha, and wow. Flavor was on point. I did 100% sweetness just to gauge their levels, even though it was pointed out that 50% is normal... And 100% tastes a bit too sweet for me. I will have to try the 50% or 25% next time. There is food, but we did not order any (this was an after lunch destination!) The person who took our order was extremely sweet, and very helpful with recommendations. We'll be back. You can bet on it! read more

I've had Mori's on my list for a long time A 9:30am stop just never seemed prime So, today I did wait As to have a Mori's matcha fate The girl at the counter recommended the rich uji matcha (half-sweet, almond milk) and so that's what I got In the mood to make decisions, not The parking out front is for 30-minutes, luckily an open space Avoided the parking garage, insert happy face The shop is small in size with a scattering of seating inside and out The drink presentation was good, no doubt A sweetness sign with explanation seen The matcha color was vibrant green I didn't really love it, if we're keeping it real I think the grassy flavor profile just didn't win my palate's appeal I did consume it all and it does grow on you a little with each sip It wasn't overly sweet and still an interesting trip Many many people enjoy it here So, please don't let me deter you, it's still a place to steer Plus, I only tried one menu item, so...

Mori's is the kind of coffee shop you instantly want to come back to. It's super cozy, really clean, and has the nicest staff. I tried their ceremonial matcha and loved that it's customizable. You can pick your milk and sweetness level which is perfect if you like your matcha a certain way. I also got their house coffee and it was smooth and rich with no bitterness. For food, I ordered the egg sandwich and the chicken caesar salad and both were delicious. The egg sandwich was fluffy and flavorful and the salad was super fresh with the perfect amount of dressing. It's such a relaxing spot to study, meet a friend, or just sit with a good drink. Definitely one of my new favorite finds near campus. read more

They were both creamy and I liked that the strawberry flavor wasn't too overpowering. You can adjust sweetness too which is nice. read more

wow lots of new matcha options since the last time i visited! matcha is def smooth and not grainy since a year ago i went lol. i like how their standard sweet is 50%, which is what i got for my strawberry matcha. i could've done less sweet (25%) too but either options are still good. would def come back to try the double matcha. read more

Location: Weird spot! Tucked away on a strip of stores inside of an apartment complex? I don't know how to explain it but had to walk a bit from parking. I believe they have rear parking but we didn't check it out. Food: Got the double matcha and uji matcha latte! They use lactose free milk in their drinks which is mad considerate for the sensitive tummy girlies. However, if you like a creamier matcha, you may not find it here because of that. You can choose richness for the uji matcha, and all matcha drinks lean towards unsweetened. I got 75% sweet and rich but if you like a a sweeter, more robust flavor I'd go more rich and 100%. Very smooth with nary an earthy grass flavor, which was a surprise with how deep the color was. Will be back to try food because it was presented so nice! Service: Standard and quick Ambiance: Quite small! Grab and go. read more

Authentic and strong matcha! They advertise that they use high quality matcha from Japan, and I can tell the difference. I love strong matcha so I tried the uji matcha latte and paid extra for the extra rich version. After adding oat milk, my drink was almost $9, but it definitely was one of the strongest matchas I've had! I would recommend getting 75% sweetness, or 50% if you don't like things too sweet. They also sell food, and I definitely want to try their dishes next time! The location is a little hard to find, as it's located in the middle of an apartment complex, but there is a free parking structure right next to it. There is also outdoor seating around the whole area for a casual hangout. Staff was friendly and our drinks were made quickly! read more

I have been here once before, and it was great. I had no complaints. The drinks were good and the food was decent. But I just came right now, and it was absolutely not only disgusting, but the worker was literally laughing in my face when I was asking her questions and I was so disrespected. She wasn't even able to answer simple question as to what sweetener they use or what options they have she's just saying what percent sweet do you want and she was so rude. When I'm spending $8 on a drink I refuse to have an experience like this. I want my drink to taste good and my experience to be pleasant or just normal! I don't think that's asking for too much... read more

I had heard of this new restaurant serving marukyu koyamaen matcha and as a certified matcha girly I had to visit. It's a small store (more of a grab and go), but they had an extensive drink and food menu. I appreciated all the food options (def expensive but it's Irvine so can't judge ), and I got the soba. The food was fresh (I just poured a little too much of the sauce so the rest of my meal became super tangy but that's on me), and I got the extra rich matcha and it was justttt like I like it! If you do choose do to the extra rich, make sure to have a small amount for sweetness to balance out the bitterness. I think it's a great spot near UCI to grab a drink or bite! read more

Just discovered this incredible matcha spot near UCI and I had to share because WOW! Came in and tried their Uji Rich Matcha Latte, Crème Brûlée Matcha Swirl, and Cloudy Matcha - you can immediately taste that they're using ceremonial grade matcha sourced directly from Uji, Japan. The quality difference is so noticeable compared to other places! But what absolutely blew my mind was their HANDCRAFT TARO situation. They literally steam and crush real taro and ube by hand in-house, then mix it with milk. You can actually taste the tiny taro bites in every single sip! It's completely different from those places that just use artificial taro powder - this is the real deal and you can tell they put so much care into making it fresh. Also got their Honey & Spicy Chicken Thigh which was the perfect savory complement to balance out all that matcha sweetness. Really hit the spot! What I loved most about this place: * Their house-made organic cane sugar syrup isn't overly sweet by default, but you can customize it up to 75% or 100% if you want * Everything is made with lactose-free milk which is amazing * Super convenient location for UCI students and locals * They have these energy grain bowls that look perfect for a working lunch The attention to detail here is incredible. You can tell they really care about quality ingredients and the craft behind each drink. Whether you're a UCI student looking for a study spot or just someone who appreciates really good matcha, this place is definitely worth checking out! Honestly can't wait to come back and try more of their menu!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Instagram: @hungrytamale read more
