I genuinely think Ayer Coffee has the best matcha in all of OC. Ever since they opened, I've been…read morethere 4-5 times a week and somehow still haven't gotten tired of it. The quality and consistency are honestly unmatched. I've tried pretty much every drink on the menu at this point, and every single visit tastes just as good as the last, which is rare these days. Yes, the line can get long sometimes, but the staff does such a great job moving things quickly while still being friendly and attentive. You never feel rushed, and they're always happy to answer questions or make recommendations. Their new guava matcha is AMAZING! Super unique and refreshing without being overly sweet. I've already convinced a bunch of my friends and family to try Ayer and now they're hooked too. Even my dad, who visits Vietnam often and is very picky about coffee, said he liked the coffee at Ayer even more. I've also purchased their Saigon blend to make Vietnamese coffee at home, and the staff were incredibly helpful in guiding me on how to brew it properly. You can tell they genuinely care about both the quality of their drinks and the customer experience. Ayer deserves all the hype. Easily one of my favorite coffee spots ever.

I haven't been back to White Sparrow in a while so I decided to stop by during a morning ride…read more Although I prefer a lighter roast for lattes, they still make it pretty well. If they roasted their own beans, I think it would elevate the experience much more. They get a lot of foot traffic given that it is located in the old town Tustin area. This means that they are often busy, especially during peak times. Overall, a nice coffee shop to stop by once in a while for me.

When it came to my order, no one mentioned that I could modify it so it was full sweet..too sweet. The drinks come with freeze dried fruit on top which brings some texture but the matcha does not taste ceremonial and slightly bitter. The ambiance is swanky and a spot for people to be on their laptops to do homework or work. They offer pastries and free wifi. I would recommend sticking to the coffee and will try again next time in the area.

Incredible! The moment I stepped into this place, my breath was taken away.

The drinks are Marvelous! The staff are on top of keeping things stocked and cleaned - that makes a huge difference and contributes significantly to the crisp, lovely aesthetic of it all. I initially came here to study and I found the boutique to be such a good de-stressor. God bless you all!

This review is for their event/buyout experience only…read more Overall it was a positive, delightful experience. It was easy to plan and the event coordinator was professional and responsive to their guidelines (2 business days). There were some things that could be improved. Planning - Two tables were missing two seats so a total of 4 seats weren't there as they were in the info packet diagram. It required some improvisation and worked out ultimately because some of our guests no-showed and the other table had children who sat in their parents lap. - Having done (and loved) their previous afternoon tea service before, I assumed guests would have their choice of tea. In actuality, you choose 6 teas for the whole event. There's no mention of it in the packet and we didn't find out until we arrived. You only get so much time to set up so it would have been better to be able to choose the teas ahead of time to think about everyone's preferences. - a few times I'd send over a numbered list of questions, and they would respond in paragraphs, which generally answered my questions but did not always answer all of them, which meant I had to re-ask or just assume we could figure it out later. Day of Service - Many guests didn't know how much they could eat per the tiered platters. It would have been nice if the waitstaff informed the guests what the items on the platter was and how many items each guest was entitled to. It seemed like most of the time our items were silently delivered and there wasn't a lot of checking in. - They didn't come by to refill the water for our 6 teapots often enough, so we often had empty pots for long stretches of time. Overall a good experience with some tweaks would be really great.

I got a chance to pet the cats and the employee gave me some rules. We also have to sign a waiver. The cats varied by breed.

Hygiene is heavily prioritized here and I like that!

There is no one in line and no one else waiting for an order, but there are these 2 girls just chit chatting in the back, which delayed my order. I don't think I'll be returning back.

During my recent trip here, I got cream Puffs (my favorite) and the strawberry croissant. There was a short line but it moved quickly. Customer service was average, and they keep the line moving. I would've ordered more, but was flying back to sac in a few hours so had to limit what I ordered to bring back. This location is the original and it is crowded inside since they sell goods also. I believe they have a few tables for dining in outside, bit I've never dined in so cannot speak to that. I'll continue to go here, or one of their other locations when I'm in So-Cal.
