Kei Coffee has the BEST banana matcha latte in OC. The quality of the drink is always consistent,…read morenever watered down or disappoints. I love that their banana matcha is super light, not too heavy, comes with oat milk, and has toffee bits that compliments the drink. I've tried a few other drinks from their menu which were also worth mentioning: double matcha latte and their triple coco thai tea. The double matcha latte was still really sweet without the double shot of matcha being too overpowering or bitter. Their triple coco thai tea was surprisingly really good since I normally don't like coco drinks. It felt more like a dessert since it was a little heavy and came with thai tea soft serve and coconut crisps that compliments the drink! I love that their menu has so many options to choose from: coffee, matcha, teas, food, and bakery items as well. I've heard a lot of good things about their bakery and food options! They also have one self-kiosk and two other cashiers who you can order with, so there's never any long lines or waits when I go. However, the cafe is always packed with people doing laptop work or just hanging out. The cafe is super spacious, has alot of tables and seats. It's super decorative, aesthetic, and clean. Drinks never take that long too since there always seems to be a good amount of baristas working on drinks. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're into matchas, coffees, teas, or want a quick stop for food/ drinks. It never disappoints and it's also a great place to catch up with friends. I love the quality and concepts of their drinks!

I love the matcha and hojicha lattes and all their iterations. The pastries are always changing to new and fresh ideas just like the menu. Today I ordered an iced matcha latte and decided to try it with macnut milk and condensed milk assuming it would make my drink even sweeter than I normally like it. it ended up tasting watered down to me and not sweet at all. When I went back to the counter, Fawstine (I know I spelled that wrong despite asking her to spell it out a few times! Sorry!) assisted me and explained the mac nut milk might be changing the taste. I told her it had no sweetness at all despite adding condensed milk. She offered to give me more condensed milk and told me to let her know. Unfortunately and surprisingly, it didn't sweeten the drink much. And likely my bad that i went with the macnut and deviated from my usual as is order. I told her this and she immediately offered to make me another drink. Within a couple minutes she handed me a new one. I appreciated her willingness to help and customer service forward attitude. In a time where the restaurant and hospitality climate is ever changing, not everyone understands or provides solid customer service. But Fawstine did! Thank you for topping off this visit!

They use ceremonial matcha for their tea and cream tops, and you can taste the nutty roasted notes. I see people comment that their drinks are on the milkier side, but in my opinion there was plenty of matcha flavor. Maybe I went on a good day! Plenty of seating inside, and lots of parking outside. It was busy on a Saturday afternoon but they are fast.

Parking is super accessible. You can order via a screen and customize the drinks. We got all the drinks as they come (ex. no sweetness or milk changes). The portions are also generous. Unfortunately, the 3 stars part comes after drinking the drinks. I got the Pandan Matcha and my sister the Einspanner. We knew these are generally sweetened drinks, but these felt unusually thick and sugary. For a few hours after consuming them, they just sat super heavy and gave us a lot of nausea. I would recommend getting the drinks half sweet.

I get the hype! Airoma Cafe constantly ranks high on the list of best matcha spots in Southern…read moreCalifornia. The cafe is cute with a small number of interior tables. They are located in the same plaza as Brodard, Vox Kitchen, Rol Handbar, etc. in Fountain Valley. This location is open later than the other Airoma. They use ceremonial matcha which makes a huge difference. I ordered the strawberry matcha latte (74% sweet) after trying one previously in LA. I paid and waited for my order to be ready. After a few minutes, I received my order. I shook it up and tried it. Delicious! Even better than I remembered. My husband who doesn't usually enjoy matcha, tried it and liked it. He does not dig the earthy taste, but this drink changed his perspective. Airoma made my husband a believer in matcha. We do not usually go out too often for matcha, but when I'm in the mood next, this place will be a must visit. I'll have to try their egg coffee in the future too.

My friend accidentally drove us to this location intending to go to the Garden Grove location, but…read moreit was a pleasant surprise to learn that they opened a second location here. I actually keep hoping that they open another location over near Cerritos/Artesia. There was a line leading outside of the building, but it moved pretty quickly. I ordered a pandan latte and I'd say it was just as good as their original location! Not overly sweet with a really tasty pandan flavor. Lots and lots of parking in the plaza. And service was very quick. There's very minimal seating on the left hand side of where you order. I wouldn't say this is the ideal shop to work in and hang out and chat, but that's fine.

This is an update to my last review about getting the wrong drink. The Airoma team reached out to…read moreme concerning the mishap. They refunded my husband in a timely manner and responded very quickly. My husband ordered the Panda Matcha for me again this time and they made it exactly how had wanted it. No complaints. Drink was the right amount of sweetness and had a good balance of Matcha and Pandan.

I just found out that they shut down their other location in Westminster due to the parking lot and small space. I think we both preferred the blueberry matcha over the strawberry matcha. The blueberry match wasn't too sweet/overpowering and had a nice blueberry flavor balance. The strawberry matcha was a bit too sweet for me and the flavor tasted a bit too artificial. Their drinks also had too much ice in my opinion and it felt like we only got like 5 sips out of each drink :( would still go again and try their other drinks!

Of course you would hear they're going with a space theme when you see the name of this boba shop…read more Oddly enough, i've been to a few boba shops with the same theme lol. Although, first impression, I really liked how clean it is with great lighting and seating! The one thing that really bumped up my review for this place was how CLEAN the restroom is. Especially with their fancy toilet that it's foot sensor? that's crazy. Definitely a top-notch bathroom cause I felt so safe in there lol. Anyways, ordering was easy, which you can just place it at the kiosk. I got the matcha jasmine oolong tea (with 30% sugar and jasmine oolong jelly) since it was most reviewed here on Yelp. It was really good! Very refreshing and the right amount of sweetness. The matcha could be bolder, but I thought it was still a nice touch to have with the drink. The Jasmine Oolong Jelly was a lot denser than I imagined, kind of like the texture of a rainbow jelly (but not as bouncy), but it was still pretty delicious! The overall flavors were pretty good for a boba drink. I was initially intrigued by their durian coffee, but their tea here is actually pretty good. Not sure how their coffee is here, but will definitely try next time if in the mood for coffee! Also the cups here are pretty cute! They pay attention to even the texture of the cup since it's inspired by the moon.

We ordered from here for the first time through their website, and my husband picked up the drinks…read more We were looking for something different from the usual Ding Tea, Tastea, and other chain boba spots. After seeing several positive Yelp reviews, we decided to give this place a try. My husband wasn't a fan of the location because the plaza was extremely crowded, but he did mention that the shop itself had a friendly, trendy atmosphere. The staff greeted him right away, and the drink presentation was impressive. The takeout bag was a nice touch, and we were even gifted eco-friendly gloves from AnEco as part of a sustainability promotion--something we can all appreciate. As for the drinks, my husband ordered the Matcha Cloud Jasmine Milk Tea, and I ordered the Jasmine Oolong Milk Tea, both at 60% sweetness. The sweetness level was spot-on, but we were both hoping for a stronger tea flavor. I'd rate the drinks a solid 3/5. Our total came to $15.46 for two drinks, which is pretty standard these days. Overall, the customer service was excellent, and the drinks were decent. However, we're still undecided about returning, as we don't feel the drinks alone are enough to justify navigating the busy, overcrowded plaza.

The interior is very modern but cozy. Our order arrived pretty quickly. Their drinks are pretty good but what surprised me was the beignets; I really like them airy and not too dense. I devoured it in like 5 minutes.

Don't forget to wiggle the plate, and enjoy the presentation!

The café is located in a shopping center with plenty of parking, so getting in and out was easy. The interior is bright and cute with a cozy atmosphere. Even though I wasn't dining in, it seemed like a nice place to sit in. Service was also friendly. I ordered the Ube Coco Latte and the Matcha Soufflé Pancake. The latte was rich, creamy, and smooth. The ube and coconut complemented each other well without either flavor being too overpowering. My only disappointment was that they don't offer a decaf option. The Matcha Soufflé Pancake took a little while to prepare, which is expected for soufflé pancakes. The pancakes were a little more moist than I personally prefer, but likely because I took it to-go. The mango purée was easily my favorite part, I honestly could have eaten it by itself. Combined with the foam and the subtle matcha flavor, everything came together nicely without being overly sweet. Overall, it's a good spot if you're looking for a café with unique drinks and desserts. I'd like to dine in next time I go!
