    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 took two sips, put it aside while I finished my bagel, then brought it back to request a swap. The two female baristas ignored me as I approached, kept their eyes down, and continued their own conversation. When I finally got their attention, I explained the situation. The blonde with curly hair acknowledged that yes, the drink was very sweet - then told me they would fix it "next time" I came in. I was shocked because I was standing in front of her with a full cup I couldn't drink! The brunette with straight hair said nothing and offered no help throughout the entire exchange. When I made it clear I wanted it done now, not on some future visit, she told me they couldn't swap it because I'd "had it too long." Now I am shocked again! The cup was basically full as I only had the two sips. Only after I stood my ground did she reluctantly offer to ask a manager. The redhead manager was a complete 180. She handled it immediately, made a new matcha drink without sugar (way better but not a good matcha drink in general) and was genuinely pleasant, resolving it without hesitation or attitude. In an era where customer experience is everything, treating a paying customer in such a poor way is fast way to lose business. The staff must be trained better, or put them somewhere they are not customer-facing. I won't be back.

On this visit, I had the caramel banana latte, which had a very nice flavor and was not too sweet.

There is lots of seating inside and out with spaces for working/studying more inside and relaxing outside. Its also a great place if you want to take some nice IG photos. The staff is friendly and make drinks quickly. But the coffee drinks themselves are just ok. We both had Cortados this time and they were a little tasteless and too hot. Drinkable but not worth coming back for. Last time I came in alone and had a Flat White that was terrible and I dumped it out. I did not have time to ask for another but I'm sure they would have remade it. Wall Writers is located in an office complex but in a good way. There is plenty of free parking and in the afternoon and on Saturdays you can park right at the entrance. The restroom is located in a separate building across the courtyard and watching people search for it can be mildly entertaining LOL It is a nice place to work with plenty of natural light and a wonderful patio for enjoying nice weather. I just wish the drinks were a little better. But because of the convenient location I will probably try it again. Maybe Ill try something iced?

I sat at one of the tables, opened the box my cookies were presented in, and found myself in cookie ecstasy. The cookies are fat mountains of deliciousness.

The chocolate chip was crammed full of chips and the walnuts were in tiny bits to keep the cookie's texture soft. The chocolate cookie was also enormous and had an abundance of peanut butter chips.
