Creme Brûlée Matcha Swirl 抹茶布蕾雪 Strawberry Matcha 草莓抹茶拿铁
Tho N.

Crème brûlée 4/5 super yummy Taroberry matcha 3.5/5 Matcha flavor is good and smooth. The only downside is the straw!! Makes it hard to mix the drinks! But otherwise the interior is cute and comfortable and service was quick and efficient.

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.

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

Taro Fresh Milk
Alayna B.

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.

I was fairly disappointed. They emphasized on their matcha but it wasn't even ceremonial. When we asked about the grade of their matcha, they didn't seem to know... The dessert was alright. Nothing spectacular. Appeared to be ideal for students to grab food and/drink and study.

hojicha
Hailey S.

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.

The matcha drinks here are really strong so perfect for anyone who appreciates that true matcha flavor. I can't wait to try more of the drink menu besides the matcha double cream top I got. We also tried the spicy honey chicken which tasted light and healthy. I appreciated how many different veggies were in a single bowl. We parked in front in a 30 min spot. Food and drinks came out fast. Very limited but some seating

Shizouka - Banana Cream Matcha 香蕉芝士抹茶  Double Matcha 双倍浓抹
Cristina S.

The Shizuoka banana cream matcha I ordered has a bitter taste on it while the double matcha was pretty good. Both are customized to 50% sweetness. Service is okay. There's some chairs inside and outside if you want to stay for a bit longer.

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!

* drinks are made using marukyu koyamaen matcha, artisan tea, house-roasted coffee, and handcrafted taro and ube paste * most drinks are made using lactose-free milk (free to switch to regular whole milk) * my go-to's are their Taro Matcha Fresh Milk, Assam Black Milk Tea, and Banana Hojicha Oat Latte * menu also has options for oriental herbal desserts, kale green juice, sandwiches, salads, soba noodles, and energy grain bowls * one of my favorite cafes for fresh and healthy grab-and-go meals and dessert! 8.5/10

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!

Ceremonial Uji Matcha Latte
Micaella S.

I've tried 3-4 drinks here and they've been consistently good. Not overtly sweet. My favorite has been the strawberry matcha. I'd love to try their food next time!

Arya R.

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.

I love me a new brunch hot spot! Thus, Blueberry Social was such a good find. It's uber cute and…read moretrendy ~ perfect for catching up w/ friends, having a cute lunch date with the hubs or even a chill weekend family outing. Located in the Hmart plaza in Portola ~ between Culver Dr and Irvine Blvd, Blueberry Social takes up a decent-sized space, right smack in the middle of the plaza. It's one of those places where you walk up to the counter, order your food & go find a seat to have it delivered. Thankfully, there is plenty of indoor & outdoor seating to choose from, but depending on the time that you dine, I can see how it can get quite crowded. Service is quick & efficient and the staff was friendly ~ providing food & drink recs, since everything looked good and it's hard to decide. The menu is American comfort food w/ a modern twist. The vibe is casual and I love the aesthetically pleasing decor (esp. the cute pinkish suede couches/bench tables inside) ~ it's quite contemporary & calming. The food? Super yums! Everything was very fresh and tasty. It actually felt worth the type (which is rare lol). The portions were solid, and the presentation was definitely IG-worthy..go check out my pics & see for yourself. I've personally been here a couple of times ~ either with friends, w/ the hubs, and/or with my fam, but I always gravitate to ordering the same dish..the SoCal loko moko ($19). Everything..from the island style garlic rice, roasted mushroom onion, brown gravy, angus loco beef patty, Kona mac, and sunny side up golden yolk eggs is just perfection. I've honestly never had a loko moko before (even tho I've been to Hawaii many of times), but I'm sooo glad that THIS was my first, cuz now the bar is set and I have high standards to compare to, moving forward. I just love everything about it..so so YUMS! OMG..get it w/ the blueberry crumble latte and you will die with smile. I swear that coffee is sooo addicting. Who knew blueberry crumble would pair well with coffee, but it does and I'm hooked. 10/10 would come back for another brunch + coffee moment. RxFoodie recommend!!!

Stumbled upon BLUEBERRY SOCIAL while looking for restaurants to try in the area. Loved the whole…read morevibe so we came to check it out one Saturday around noon. There was a line out the door, which we expected because of the time of day and from posts we've seen, but the line moves quickly since you order at the counter and then find a table. There are plenty of tables inside and outside, but I'm assuming they're usually all taken inside. Luckily, we were able to grab a table inside. The design and decor is so cute and chic! The booths have pink suede couches and so comfy and roomy! So Cal Loko Moko -- it was just okay for me, I think my tastebuds were expecting an original loco moco flavor, but the garlic fried rice was throwing it off. Still good nonetheless. Hawaiian island pancake -- liked this, sweet enough for me without the syrup. B.B tots -- very crispy which I liked, but other than that, they're just tots. They have a huge breakfast/brunch menu and they have separate lunch/dinner menu as well! They also had a lot of interesting drinks, but we didn't order any this time. It's definitely worth checking out.

THIS REVIEW IS "ONLY" FOR THE "LEMON OLIVE" CUPCAKE…read more.. Today is my birthday and my friend stopped by before work to bring me some goodies for my birthday. She knows I love sweets and do a lot of baking myself, however, I HAVE NEVER TASTED A CUPCAKE THIS DELICIOUS........EVER!! It's truly moist, "flakey" if you could call a cupcake flakey at all, has nooks and crannies as I broke it in half (thinking I'd only eat half and save half for later)... and honestly, lemon is NOT my favorite of anything if I had to pick. So for this baker saying this lemon olive cupcake is the VERY BEST cupcake OF ALL CUPCAKES that I've ever tasted, is saying A LOT. I'm totally a cake person, so the slight glaze on it is more than enough for me! She also bought me a carrot cake cupcake. It's good, but not above and beyond to make a name in this review. There are plenty of carrot cake recipes and this one is a 7 on a scale of 1-10, IMO. ... but the lemon rates 38 on a scale of 1-10. LOL

This place is always packed with a long line for ordering. The food is organic, healthy, and…read moredelicious! I usually get whatever salad I'm in the mood for and then add the protein. Their sides are amazing, especially the vegan Mac and cheese and their quinoa with yogurt. This time I ordered the Brussels and Kale salad with Chicken. I am upset I forgot to ask for extra dressing because I'm a saucy girl. Their little dressing container is not enough for the large Togo bowl. Luckily the grapefruit and grapes added flavor to it.
