Despite the multitude of new cafes to try in the area, I always come back to Sip for their seasonal drinks. Every few months, they manage to come up with creative flavors that you can't find anywhere else. This Fall, they have Slutty Caramel Apple, Miso Maple, and Abuelita's Vietnamese Mocha, just to name a few. The drinks always look super cute and photogenic, but they taste even better than they look. I love that Sip makes their syrups and foams in-house and whisks their matcha to order, because you can really taste the freshness in the drinks. The matcha flavor is present, but not bitter like some of the more popular OC spots. This balance allows you to taste the seasonal flavors along with the matcha. Their espresso drinks are very smooth and do not taste acidic or burnt at all. There is almost always a line out the door when you visit on the weekends, but it moves quite quickly. Inside, Sip's decor is welcoming and unpretentious, with a picnic-style vibe. They always put up themed decorations and display some matcha, coffee beans, and merch for sale along the wall. Seating is limited, but there is usually a spot to sit while you wait for your drinks, either outside or inside. I have seen some people study/work in the seats near the bar, but I would not recommend because of the crowds. Sip is located in a large plaza, so there is plenty of parking. Sip is definitely worth a try (or ten)!

In regards to the matcha, I feel that the matcha depth gets overpowered. But still enjoyable if I'm looking for a fun drink. The design of the store is very nice and LA-like. Drinks come out in a good amount of time, and it's nice to watch the baristas make them.

Worth every penny!…read more I've been here before and always liked this place, but this was our first time coming back with the kids and somehow I think I like it even more now! First off, the food was delicious. I've had A LOT of matcha and matcha fusion drinks, but the coconut matcha here is really unique and sooo good. Everything from the appetizers to the entrees and desserts was great. Some of our favorites were the garlic noodles with spicy sauce, seafood ceviche, squid and mango salad, and crab toast. The desserts were also surprisingly good. The banana bread pudding was amazing, and we really liked the frozen yogurt parfait. It's not your typical frozen yogurt dessert--I think it might be more of a Vietnamese-style yogurt--but whatever it is, it was delicious. What really stood out to me this time though was how kid friendly the place is. We have an infant and a toddler, and there was actually enough room around our seating to keep the stroller with us without feeling like we were completely in the way. I also really appreciated the music level. So many restaurants nowadays blast music to the point where you start wondering if it's too much for babies and toddlers. Here, they hit the sweet spot. Loud enough to create a nice vibe, but not so loud that we were worried about the kids. Service was exceptional too. And trust me, kids can make a mess lol. Our toddler spilled a drink and our waiter was so understanding about it. More importantly, you could tell it was genuine. There was no judgment, no annoyed reaction, nothing that made us feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. When you're dining out with little kids, that kind of attitude from the staff really makes a difference. I already liked this place before having kids, but I honestly didn't expect the experience to be even better coming back as a family. Great food, really good drinks, amazing service, and surprisingly kid friendly. Definitely a place we'll keep coming back to.

This about 3 times a week. Today, I made the usual, same order and the guy says we can't do it. I haven't seen him before, so I mentioned that I've always ordered it that way. He explains why he can't, I give him a ??? look. He proceeds to tell me perhaps he can do xxx. I tell him, I'm not sure how they do it, but it's always been the same. The reason why I'm leaving this review is because he didn't bother to ask the gal next to him (She takes my order all the time). He didn't even try to ponder if this was a possibility. It's weird that he didn't think there was a 1% chance that this curated coffee shop would ever make any adjustments. Now I'm sitting in my car and my two drinks suck and is way different. I hope he sees me sitting in the car writing this review.

We are always welcomed with a smile and were even told on one visit in particular, "enjoy our time here." Often times, coffee shops make you feel like an uninvited guest. In a world that seems to be rushing around on tight schedules, this coffee shop is a nice and refreshing departure. Bonus stars to Kevin and all the staff who are incredibly hospitable.

I was influenced through social media to try Long Black Coffee…read more Their Einspanner coffee is the most popular. And if you're familiar with einspanner, essentially it's coffee with whipped cream in it. So that's exactly what I went for. The café is clean and trendy. The baristas are very sweet and after a few minutes my drink was ready. I gave it a little mix and took my first sip. I will say the coffee itself is strong. You can definitely taste the coffee, but it's something about the thickness of the whipped cream that didn't quite mix well with the coffee even after a good mix, the coffee is on the thicker side, which I didn't love. I believe I'm more of a cloud top person that's more airy, which is easier to get mixed in than a thicker cream. maybe I'll love it if I get it hot so that way the cream melts into the hot coffee, but having it iced isn't for me. I'll come back when it starts to get cold outside.

I'm not exactly sure what flavors they use in their signature blend, but whatever it is, it works--it was really enjoyable. The 20 oz cup for $6.50 is a great value, especially for the quality and size. I was too full to try anything else today, but their matcha and coconut water drinks both caught my eye, so I'll definitely be back to give those a try. Overall, I'd recommend stopping by if you enjoy a strong Vietnamese-style coffee at a reasonable price.

The business has a few tables outside and a good amount of seating inside as well. I ordered a Ube Cream Coffee - Saigon Style ($5.50). Yummmm!! I love how strong but creamy and delicious this coffee is. I'm hooked! I am Vietnamese and I approve of this cup of coffee. While I was there I saw their glorious casing of pastries and I couldn't resist. I ordered and enjoyed: 2 Garlic Bread ($5.35/each), Chocolate Croissant ($6.60), Almond Croissant ($6.85), Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread ($4.75) and 2 Macarons ($3.20). Their pastries are fantastic. My boyfriend doesn't enjoy sweets as much as I do so that garlic bread was good for it. The croissants were really flakey and flavorful. I enjoyed the bread. For the macarons I was given a third one as a thanks for all the items I orders and I liked all 3. Yum! Wish I could come back to support the business, especially with their incredible coffee, but I was told that they will be closing on 7/31/26. I'm so sad I didn't discover them sooner. I wish them all the best and hope they re-open in the future.

It's located in between Hong Lan Queen Eggrolls and Nam Am Chicken Rice restaurants on Brookhurst St in the Brookhurst Town Center. There is a parking lot that could be difficult to find a spot during lunch or dinner rush hours and weekends. I saw that they had black sesame coffee which made me really want to check it out. Black sesame drinks and food are a guilty pleasure of mine. My boyfriend and I both got their Nostimo Cafe Muoi Me (Black Sesame Coffee) with less ice. I forgot to adjust the sweetness but that wasn't needed at all! When I took the first sip without the straw, I had a lot of black sesame notes as there was actual black sesame topping on the cold foam and the strong bitter coffee taste. Then I mixed it with the straw and omg, it was a really nice balance of strong, delicious coffee and a nuttiness from the black sesame. SO GOOD. We both enjoyed it a lot! Based on our experience from just the black sesame coffee, the boba must also be very good. We will be back to try their other drinks in the future!

Plenty of parking right out front - fortunately when we arrived, but this plaza does get really busy on weekends. Interior is nice, but I didn't like that the sun really got in my eyes at some seats in the restaurant right during sunset. Service was good, note that the souffle pancakes may have a bit of a wait time, which they informed us when we ordered and it was understandable since they're making them fresh and they were so worth it! We ordered a Pistachio Coffee Latte, Ube Coco Souffle & Matcha Souffle Pancakes for the 5 of us to share. It was definitely plenty for all of us. Portion sizing is pretty generous. Quality, taste, flavor, presentation/attention to details - all well worth the price. Would definitely recommend trying the souffle pancakes here! The Matcha one was personally my favorite!
