Excellent drinks here! It was late afternoon and I wanted a low caffeine option. I was thinking of getting the banana hojicha latte but got the plain one instead. It was absolutely delicious. I think I would go down to 25% sweet level next time but this was good! My daughter got the strawberry matcha latte and that was very good as well! Very cute inside with festive and modern decor. Friendly people work there. Will definitely be back! read more

i think mori's just missed the mark for me a bit. it's in a residential strip mall and there's a little garage behind it for free retail parking. you can order at the kiosk or at the register, usually with little to no wait. i got a mango matcha latte with oat milk and it was a little over $8. the mango was good, their standard matcha was balanced, but unfortunately their oat milk ruins the drink entirely. not to mention it's a $1 upcharge! it tastes like califia and has a nasty aftertaste that lingers. if they changed their oat milk it could probably be a 4- but i would still go to ayer/taty's/bag of cakes over this. read more

Found this matcha shop on Yelp because I'm in my matcha era. I've tried matcha at many places including Desouro, Febe, Junbi, Airoma, Ruma Latte, Ayer, etc and I'm convinced Mori's matcha is most memorable. The matcha is well balanced and earthy but not "dirty-". I don't like matcha that tastes like grass. The Shizouka creamy pistachio latte with lactose free (love!!!) whole milk was divine- smooth, subtly sweet, yet has a bold matcha flavor. The double matcha latte was slightly less sweet but has an umami boldness to it. I appreciated the difference between these 2 matcha drinks. There was minimal interaction with staff as you order at the kiosk then pick up your drink at the counter. This place gets crowded but we luckily beat the crowd today! I'd love to come back to try other drinks and their rice bowls. read more

The shop is very small, but they do have some seating available both inside and outside. You can order using a tablet or directly with a staff member. They have quite a few matcha options, so I'd recommend ordering with a person if it's your first time and you have questions about the different options. I got the Uji Matcha Latte and added the Rich option because I wanted a stronger matcha flavor. Unfortunately, it mostly just tasted like milk, and I could barely taste the matcha. For a place with so much hype around its matcha, I was expecting a much more pronounced matcha flavor. Maybe I just ordered the wrong drink, but based on this visit, I wasn't particularly impressed. I wanted to love this place, but it fell a little short of the expectations set by the reviews. read more

Make Mori's your next must-go matcha stop! They're known for their gorgeous matcha lattes. Their matcha menu is pretty extensive with lots of creative foams, purees, and more! I opted for the seasonal Mango Matcha Latte. It tasted like summer in a cup! The matcha was STRONG and was the most beautiful vibrant green. The mango puree was sweet (in a very natural and non-artificial way) and added such refreshing notes. Love! I also grabbed an Egg Salad Sando from their fridge, but wasn't the biggest fan. It was pretty salty....? It tasted like salted egg between bread. Would come again for the drinks, but maybe not the bites. read more

I am so bummed because I thought I would love this place. Unfortunately this was a waste of $30. I want to start off that their order process is simple - at the counter or the kiosk. The staff seem to be more focused on getting out orders so I do recommend ordering at the kiosk otherwise you may be standing a while. Banana cloud matcha: 3.5/5 The banana cloud portion was heavenly. My drink came out quickly. I got it at regular sweetness (50%), however after tasting it, I wish I got it at 75%. Though the matcha was very bright, it lacked flavor and fell flat. Food: here is where things went very wrong. I ordered my bowl after 12, which they note would come warm. It was barely room temp. My chicken also had a piece of eggshell on it (visible through the lid), and a hair... at that point I was thinking "what else am I going to find in here". I picked off the egg shell, no biggie, but finding a hair on the chicken in addition was very off putting. I didn't have time to go back and ask them to remake but it was certainly a waste. I'm fully aware that the staff are college students but they need to wear hair nets and ensure food waste isn't making its way into orders. read more

Interesting matcha drinks. We were in the area to fix up our bike and wanted to check out a matcha place that's unique to Irvine. Mori's was nearby and had great reviews, so we stopped by not realizing there was a 2-year anniversary BOGO event. Parking was easy in the front. Some spots are listed for 10 minutes or 30 minutes parking. There was also a parking garage. For the 2-year anniversary, if we spent over $15, we could spin the wheel. We won a Mori magnet that was heavy duty. Out front, they had a decoration station of your cups. Service was fast considering there was a promotion on their season drinks. Only the pumpkin or mango seasonal drinks were BOGO 50% off. I ordered the Shizouka Matcha Latte with regular sweetness (50%). It wasn't too sweet, so I should have went with extra sweetness. The matcha was chalky with a fruity aftertaste. It kind of tasted like mango before I tried the Mango Coco Pomelo Matcha Latte. I liked the sago in the Mango Coco Pomelo. However, the mango wasn't that strong after I mixed the Mango Coco Pomelo Matcha. Maybe due to the event and flux of customers, the drinks didn't taste as good as I expected due to the reviews. The service was good, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit. read more

-Drinks: I've tried both their banana matcha and pistachio matcha latte. The matcha taste is strong. Both were solid drinks, and the banana cream topping was especially tasty. -Parking: Parking is a little limited, and most spots are only 30-minute parking. That said, it's usually not too hard to find a spot. -Service: Customer service is alright. Most of the times I've been there, the staff didn't seem to be in the best or most energetic mood. -Ambiance: The shop has its own cute vibe, but it's pretty small, so I wouldn't say it's the best spot for studying. They do have a few tables outside. read more

The cutest little matcha shop tucked away in a residential strip mall between apartments and high rise condos. In addition to having great quality matcha, they really craft some amazing flavored drinks that aren't overly sweet or artificial. They also have a food menu, and great grab and go options. They don't have interior seating but, do have a couple of tables outside. The staff is so nice and pleasant, and they really take their time to craft your drinks with attention to detail! If you're a true matcha lover, Mori's is a must visit! read more

So good! Jealous of all the students who get access to great matcha all the time. I loved the Creamy Pistachio Matcha latte! I ordered it less sweet, and it was the perfect level. As someone who hates overly sweetened drinks, I appreciate the ability to customize any drink and how they use a light hand when it comes to sugar levels. Big fan of the cheese foam--it balances the drink nicely. Overall great selection of drinks and the matcha is solid! read more

- plenty of parking out front, it's situated within an apartment complex - it's compact inside and not too study/work friendly, though good for chatting - there was so much variety in the menu! It seems they introduce new flavors and drinks pretty often so that keeps things interesting - staff was super sweet! We went near closing but she was still accommodating and attentive (1) shizouka matcha (rich for +$1) - it was so bright and refreshing! The aftertaste of the matcha was creamy and almost fruity? It was very enjoyable. The 25% sweetness was perfect for me (2) double matcha: - a more indulgent drink with that cheesy matcha foam - it's slightly lighter in matcha flavor compared to the first drink but still tasty! - this matcha flavor profile is more mellow read more

I didn't expect to like this place, but the moment I turned my head and saw displays of Marukyu Koyamaen matcha, as well as seeing it being used in their kitchen, my eyes lit up. I knew that was a sign that their matcha was going to be legit. What I ordered: Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte DRINK: 8/10 I think next time I'm going to order a plain Iced Matcha Latte with no fixings. The Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte was good, but the strawberry tasted a bit too sweet and artificial for my liking (it's actual strawberry puree as the owner mentions below, which is worth mentioning). I could be wrong, but I think without the strawberry, the matcha itself would shine even more. SERVICE: 8/10 You order through the self-kiosks, and my drink came out really quickly. Serving was very straightforward and quick, which makes sense since this is more of an in-and-out kind of spot. AMBIANCE: 7/10 A cozy, tiny spot that's more suitable for grab-and-go. There are a few indoor seats, as well as some outdoor seating, but I'd probably come here more for the drinks to go than to hang out. 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

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 is pretty hidden but super cute and welcoming establishment! I ordered a coconut coffee and it was pretty good, you are able to adjust the sweetness of your drinks which is really convenient. I got 50% sweet and the drink itself was really satisfying as the coconut flavor in the coffee really popped out (I usually find other coffee places to lack a good coconut flavor but this place did amazing). Not to mention, I absolutely adore the workers here, the kindest young ladies ever! They made my day with their compliments and generous customer service! Definitely recommend everyone to give this place a try! read more

Nice little cafe tucked away in a residential area -- I was pleasantly surprised to find this spot! It seems like they're especially known for their **matcha drinks**, so of course I had to give their **Cloudy Matcha** a try. I ordered it at **50% sweetness**, and it was just right for me. It wasn't too sweet, and the matcha flavor wasn't too strong or bitter either. It was smooth, light, and really enjoyable. Overall, it was a very nice drink to have after dinner, and I can see why their matcha seems to be one of the highlights here. read more

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

great coffee and tea spot! i also love that they have food options available here so it's great as a mid day pick me up or for lunch. for four drinks, we got our order within 5-10 minutes so i loved how quick the service is. the location is in the middle of a bunch of apartment complexes so super convenient for people who live nearby all the drinks were delicious. the cold brew was the perfect t taste, not too acidic. the house coffee was perfectly sweet while still being able to taste the coffee. i loved the biscoff cookie on the sesame hojicha since i dipped it in the cheese foam. the cheese foam was delicious and paired perfectly with the sesame hojicha drink. you could really taste every component of the drink. the mango matcha was also delicious with both mango and matcha flavors balancing each other perfectly. would definitely come back if i were in the area. read more

Service was really fast, even for the food. It's a small shop by some apartments/business buildings, good matcha choices. I got the guava matcha and it was very good, heavier on guava flavor but still yummy. I also got one of their cold noodle dishes, the concept was good, lots of veggies in there and the sauce was good, but the noodles themself had a bit of liquid sitting at the bottom which I didn't love. I would try another item next time. read more

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!!

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.

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
