    Hojicha - Blueberry Hojicha 蓝莓焙茶 and pod
    Sherrie W.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    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

    service at this place has improved since ive last been! really happy bc this is my favorite matcha spot in OC :) its so strong and very consistent with the flavor ive been here multiple times since and i usually just order and pick up my drinks to enjoy at home or on the road. its fairly small inside so i try not to stay too long.

    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!

    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 (:

    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.

    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!

    Taro Matcha
    Jonathan B.

    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!

    MORIS @ IRVINE The crème brûlée swirl was AMAZING. My friends also enjoyed their more traditional matchas, noting that it wasn't super bitter. The drinks came out with really fast after ordering; however, not that much space if you come with a group.

The restaurant was already quite busy, with the indoor dining area nearly full and only a few outdoor tables still available. There were three parties ahead of us in line to order, but fortunately the line moved quickly. By the time we finished ordering, we were lucky enough to find a comfortable indoor booth. BlueBerry Social has a modern café atmosphere with a clean, bright, and welcoming interior. Since this was intended to be a lighter brunch, we wanted to avoid ordering anything too heavy. One thing that immediately caught our attention was their unique take on omelets. Instead of serving a traditional folded omelet, they present it almost like a sunny-side-up egg with all of the cooked ingredients beautifully arranged at Center of Omelette. It gives the dish a much fresher and more elegant presentation while allowing every ingredient to stand out like a flying saucer. For our brunch, we ordered the following: Jill's Combo - (Excellent) This combination was the perfect balance of both sweet and savory. The blueberry ricotta pancake was light, fluffy, and full of fresh blueberry flavor without being overly sweet. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and the accompanying breakfast sides rounded out a satisfying but not overly heavy brunch. If you're visiting for the first time, this is an excellent introduction to what BlueBerry Social has to offer. Hash brown tote was delicious and crunchy. Farm Fresh Veggie Omelette Scramble - (Excellent) This was probably the most visually appealing dish on the table. Unlike a traditional folded omelet, the eggs were presented with beautifully cooked vegetables surrounding the rich. The avocado, zucchini, mushrooms, onions, peppers, tomatoes, spinach, and sweet corn all tasted incredibly fresh, making every bite colorful, flavorful, and surprisingly light. It was a healthy dish that never sacrificed flavor. It too has that delicious crunchy hash brown. Brisket Hash + Omelette - (Excellent) Easily one of our favorite dishes of the morning. The slow-braised brisket was tender, juicy, and full of flavor, pairing perfectly with the crispy potatoes and vegetables. together with the brisket to create a rich, comforting bite every time. It too has that crispy hash brown. Iced Latte - (Great) Smooth, balanced, and refreshing without being overly bitter. It was exactly what you would expect from a quality café latte. Blueberry Crumble Latte - (Excellent) This turned out to be the surprise favorite among our drinks. The blueberry flavor was subtle and natural without tasting artificial, while the crumble notes added just enough sweetness to make it unique. It was both creative and delicious. Matcha Latte - (Great) Rich matcha flavor with a smooth, creamy finish. It wasn't overly sweet, allowing the natural earthiness of the matcha to come through nicely. Overall, BlueBerry Social exceeded our expectations and provided one of the best brunch experiences we've had in quite some time. The restaurant offers a refreshing twist on traditional breakfast favorites, with beautiful presentation, fresh ingredients, and excellent execution throughout the menu. Every dish looked as good as it tasted, and the specialty coffee drinks were equally impressive. Our favorites were the Brisket Hash + Omelette, Farm Fresh Veggie Omelette Scramble, and the Blueberry Crumble Latte. Combined with the bright atmosphere and friendly service, it made for the perfect light brunch before our birthday dinner. BlueBerry Social easily earns a well-deserved 5-star rating from us.

The problem with this sandwich chain is one and only: They have a huge issue with quality consistency. Ask their managers and they will tell you that the portions and sandwiche ingredients are strictly measured, but as a customer you know that's not the case. You go to some places and get these tiny sandwiches with two slices of bread and barely any ingredients in between. The Tustin location, located in Whole Foods has been the worst offender at this by far. Now this Campus Drive location has been creating the best, most generous, consistent sandwiches. Unfortunately, it doesn't happen every time still. It all depends on who you get as you cook on that day, crafting your sandwich. Some day sandwiches that get to the table are juicy and enjoyable, and sometimes, they come out to be disappointedly small, with minimum amount of ingredients. I had to complain to the manager a couple of times, but it doesn't help. Every time I come here, I pray to get the right chef who will make my sandwich well. Absolutely hate being at their mercy.
