    Blueberry lavender matcha with banana toffee cold foam.
    Zach H.

    Guess who's back? Back again... and this time my matcha brought a friend. Came back to see if the matcha was still as good as the first time--and yeah, it absolutely was. We also grabbed the chicken pesto sando and oh my god. Both are seriously good. Highly recommend. The shop stays busy and the vibe is great. This is hands down my favorite matcha spot. Still haven't found anything that comes close to how they make theirs.

    Double matcha & matcha einspanner
    Sandy H.

    On my continuous journey to try different matcha places, my bf and I decided to try Vivot. I've sampled a few of their drinks at past Yelp events but it was my first time at their storefront. Parking can be limited on the street and there is a paid parking lot. Just be aware of parking signs in the area. There is a good amount of seating inside but availability can be limited during busy times. There are two screens people can order from or if you have cash, you can order at the register. In addition to their drinks, there are some various food options such as muffins, spam musubis, and a breakfast burrito. We ordered a double matcha, matcha einspanner, and a breakfast burrito w bacon to share. The drinks were decent but I've had a better matcha einspanner elsewhere. We had to wait a bit until our burrito was heated or made. It was surprisingly pretty good!

    Peach matcha with hojicha cream

    You can tell this place really cares about every drink they make! Prices were super reasonable for such good quality drinks! This is the perfect study spot as well, good amount of seating with good food and drinks! I got the peach matcha with hojicha foam, perfect amount of sweet and not overpowering peach flavor in my matcha which I love so much!

    matcha is okay, the viet iced coffee here is soooo good tho, good for studying sometimes. they have a variety of drinks and flavored cold foam so loveee

    Mango matcha & Matcha americano
    Emily T.

    Vivot definitely had its moment on Tiktok, and I've heard many mixed reviews from friends who have gone themselves. First of all, one thing that I appreciated a lot about Vivot was the price. I've gotten tinier matchas for much higher costs, so I like that the pricing is appropriate. I also really loved that I could ask for extra shots for no additional cost. The baristas were so kind and let me know that I could ask for more adjustments if need be. As for the drinks themselves, my friend got the matcha americano and I really liked the taste and consistency of the matcha. I got the mango matcha, and I had to add another shot to taste the matcha. I felt like in the fruit drink, the matcha was more bitter and coarse. I was informed that the fruit matchas may have a different matcha shot consistency to make up for the flavoring, which would explain why I felt like there were taste differences between the two drinks. Overall, I thought the mango matcha was fine and I would like to try a different drink to see if the matcha taste and consistency is different if I choose a non-fruit drink!

    Egg sandwich and matcha flight
    Diana L.

    We got the matcha cloud flight (comes with 4) with ube, banana, strawberry and sticky rice. The ube and banana were super flavorful but the strawberry didn't have as strong of a flavor. The sticky rice one was just normal matcha with pieces of sticky rice in it which I don't think I'd get again. They had a ton of other flavors I want to come back to try! Also got the egg sandwich and ube mochi brownie, both of which were so good! Bread was buttery and the egg salad was so flavorful. Ube mochi was flavorful and I liked the texture. I expected a chocolate brownie with ube but it's more like a nian gao (Chinese rice cake) texture and no brownie/chocolate in it. Forgot to take a photo of it but it was really good!

    Matcha
    Leslie B.

    Was walking around downtown Fullerton and decided to pop in after hearing so many incredible things about this place, especially from TikTok! I tried a matcha latte as a baseline drink so I could really taste the matcha, and it did not disappoint. It was incredibly packed, but honestly, well worth the wait. The matcha was high quality and had a great flavor, although it was a little less sweet than I personally prefer. Definitely want to come back and try a matcha flight next!

    Located off Commonwealth Ave in Fullerton. Street parking and lot in the back not sure how that whole lot works since it's shared with all the businesses and there are signs all over and a parking machine as well so I was a bit confused with that parking situation it fills up quick. I parked and hurried to this place got my drink and left since I'm not familiar with this area. The place is not big a few seating. I got the strawberry matcha it was good. The staff were nice and helpful the gal that helped me was awesome. Overall a cool spot I will come back if I'm near or in the area their matcha was good.

    This place is a very cute place in the middle of DTF and they have a lot of options from flavored matches to milk teas and food as well. I decided to get the horchata matcha b/c it sounded rlly good and it didn't disappoint at all. It is by far my favorite bc I haven't seen anywhere else serve that kind of matcha. Service is fast and you'll be in and out less than 5 minutes.

    Best matcha cloud ever!! The foam was creamy and thick and kind of salty. They asked for the sweet level and I said zero and it was kind of salty the foam. I order the coconut water matcha simply delicious

    Strawberry Matcha
    Kris S.

    Had the strawberry matcha, this was actually so so good. I'd go out of my way for it! Parking is annoying, but lots of seating and good place to work/study.

    Vivot Craft seems like an ideal place for a study session. The space is large and open, with plenty of seating scattered throughout, making it easy to find a comfortable spot to settle in. The interior design is minimalist, giving the café a clean and relaxed atmosphere. Ordering is convenient with two self-service kiosks, and the menu is surprisingly extensive. In addition to food options, they offer a wide variety of drinks, including matcha, coffee, teas, and refreshing beverages, so there is something for almost everyone. I ordered the Strawberry Matcha and the Matcha Einspanner. While the drink sizes were generous, the flavor of the Strawberry Matcha was a bit disappointing. The strawberry flavor was very minimal, and the matcha itself was difficult to taste. My friend felt similarly about the Matcha Einspanner. That said, I am still willing to give this place another try. It may have just been an off day, or perhaps a different drink would be a better fit next time. Vivot Craft has a great atmosphere and plenty of space for studying or hanging out, though the drinks did not fully meet my expectations on this visit.

    The famous matcha flight
    Sahar H.

    I was dying to try the matcha flight at Vivot, the concept is definitely very cool and interesting and I did love trying all the different flavors. TBH all the flavored matchas were a bit too sweet for my liking and you couldn't really taste the matcha itself much, I did like the strawberry and banana version the most and I would like to try their regular matcha drinks for comparison. The chicken pesto sandwich was a solid sandwich, it was yummy, would be a good lunch item 8/10. The cafe environment is nice and small, but has lots of seating, many people are working, the cafe is right on street in downtown Fullerton so free parking is a 2-3 minute walk. Service is okay, but not the fastest due to being crowded.

During my visit, it happened to be one of the hottest days, so sitting outside to eat or drink was honestly unbearable. Thankfully, there's plenty of seating inside, but it as pretty busy when we went so we ended up braving the heat outside. As for food, I'd say it was decent but nothing that had me craving it afterward or thinking I needed to come back specifically for it. I tried the avocado toast and the bulgogi cupbap and both were good for a casual meal. The drinks were okay as well. I think it's a nice spot if you're in the area and looking for a laid back cafe, but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way just for the food.

The royal milk tea was decent but not as flavorful as I had hoped. Since I had asked for less sweetness, that may have reduced the flavor. I did enjoy the bagel as it had fresh lox. The capers were a lovely garnish since they definitely enhanced the flavors from the cream cheese and lox. The cafe is quite cozy with its homey structure. It's quite inconspicuous if driving past the cafe, but as we walked toward it, we noticed customers using their patio. We were greeted as we walked up to order using the kiosk. A few of the tables have handwritten notes underneath clear glass. I noticed many heartfelt messages that sparked my imagination as to how the writers must've felt. I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere with chatter from local customers who seemed to know the owners well. We had also played a card game after eating, so this cafe is good for that as well. The owners were friendly and even took our plates and cups once we were finished. There's very limited parking right next to the cafe, so I had to make use of residential streets. However, it's worth making a trip here to try this coffeehouse. Also, It's interesting how they open early at 7 am per Google Maps. I usually don't see cafes opening that early, but this is a good tidbit of information for the future.

When I ordered, the cashier asked me if I wanted it warmed up. I said yes, and less than a minute later, I had a warm almond croissant in hand. Up close, I realized that this was my first almond croissant with slivers instead of slices. It might seem like a small difference, but these bigger pieces added a lot more texture. The croissant was also sweeter than I expected, making me think that they use extra syrup. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail, and I genuinely want to come back to try the Kouign Amann. Now, you're probably wondering why I'm giving a cafe 5 stars without even drinking their coffee... they had excellent service!

Do better for your customers, Have been wanting to come here for months. Instantly regretted it when I walked in today 9/14. I really wanted to like this place, I really did. Food( 3 out of 5) - the menu shows pictures but doesn't list the ingredients of each sandwich. Had to ask a lot of questions. Ordered the chibatta breakfast sandwich and breakfast wrap. Both were OK but unsure they were worth the ~$10 price tag. Coffee(1 out of 5) - ordered the "Best Drink Ever - Banana Cream Latte. Or should I say Sugar Milk with a splash of coffee. Vanilla flavor was overwhelming and sweet with a hint of banana. Reminds me of a sugary drink you get at Dutch Bros but for slightly cheaper. Really glad I didn't get the large. Ambiance (1 out of 5) - and this is the whole reason I'm even doing this review. Its large spacious with nice chairs and plenty of outlets for getting some work done. However it's all ruined by music playing at what feel like max volume. I could not hear myself think. I put in noise canceling headphones and still could hear the music. I pulled my laptop out for 5 minutes before packing back up. They had an nice outdoor area and figured I might get a break from the music. WRONG! Their patio area also had the music blasting like inside. I've never been to a coffee shop that felt like it was actively trying to get me to leave. I'll probably never come here again but if I did, It would be drive thru only.

It was amazing the first time I tried it, and somehow it's just as good every single time I go. The cheese foam on top isn't too sweet, salty, or heavy. It's smooth and creamy, but it doesn't overpower the coffee at all. And the cookie that comes with it? Dip it into the cheese foam. So, so good. The coffee itself isn't too sweet or bitter. The latte is just really clean, smooth, and perfectly balanced. Tiramisu coffee can sometimes be way too sweet and heavy, but this one is nothing like that. That's why I always order two. I drink the first one there, nice and slow. A little cookie dipped in the cheese foam, a sip of coffee, another bite, another sip. I mean, I drove all the way from LA to Fullerton. Why would I rush it? And the second one? That one comes back to LA with me. Because I need it for that wonderful 5 Freeway traffic. When traffic starts getting ridiculous and I can feel myself getting annoyed, I take a sip of my Tiramisu Coffee and think, "Okay... it's fine. Just take your time." And suddenly life is a little better. So yes, I always order two. One is for happiness. The other is to keep me from losing my mind on the 5 Freeway. Maybe I'm a little crazy for driving from LA to Fullerton just for a cup of coffee. But honestly, the coffee that keeps making me do that might be even crazier. Do you know how many coffee shops there are in LA? And still, out of every Tiramisu Coffee I've tried, this one is easily my #1. Actually, forget #1. I'm just going to say it. I honestly don't think there's a better Tiramisu Coffee anywhere. Sip & Savor Coffee, please open a location in LA. It would definitely make my life easier because I wouldn't have to drive all the way to Fullerton anymore... But then again, I might miss having my Tiramisu Coffee there to calm me down on the 5 Freeway. 저는 이 커피 마시려고 LA에서 Fullerton까지 갑니다. 많고 많은 LA 커피숍을 놔두고 굳이 Fullerton까지 가는 이유는 딱 하나. 여기 티라미수 커피 때문이에요. 처음 마셨을 때도 너무 맛있었는데, 갈 때마다 똑같이 맛있어요. 위에 올라간 치즈폼은 너무 달지도 않고 짜지도 않고, 느끼하지도 않아요. 부드럽고 고소한데 커피 맛을 가리지도 않고요. 그리고 같이 나오는 쿠키를 치즈폼에 푹 찍어 먹으면 정말 맛있어요. 커피도 너무 달거나 쓰지 않고 라떼 자체가 정말 깔끔하고 깨끗한 맛이에요. 티라미수 커피라고 하면 보통 너무 달고 무거운 경우가 많은데 여기는 전혀 그렇지 않아요. 그래서 저는 여기 오면 항상 두 잔을 오더합니다. 첫 번째 잔은 매장에서 천천히 마셔요. 치즈폼에 쿠키 찍어 먹으면서 한 모금, 또 한 모금. 이왕 LA에서 Fullerton까지 왔는데 급하게 마실 이유가 없잖아요. 그리고 두 번째 잔은 꼭 가지고 나옵니다. LA로 돌아오는 길, 그 지긋지긋하게 막히는 5번 프리웨이에서 마시려고요. 트래픽 때문에 슬슬 화가 올라올 때 티라미수 커피 한 모금 마시면 "그래... 괜찮아. 천천히 가자." 이렇게 됩니다. 그래서 항상 두 잔이에요. 한 잔은 행복하려고 마시고, ** 한 잔은 5번 프리웨이에서 화 안 내려고 마십니다.** 이 커피 한 잔 마시겠다고 LA에서 Fullerton까지 가는 저도 참 대단하지만, 그 거리를 또 가게 만드는 이 집 커피가 더 대단한 것 같아요. LA에 커피숍이 얼마나 많은데요. 그래도 제가 지금까지 마셔본 티라미수 커피 중에서는 여기가 단연 1등입니다. 아니, 저는 그냥 이렇게 말할래요. 이렇게 잘 만든 티라미수 커피는 세상 어디에도 없을 것 같습니다. Sip & Savor Coffee, 제발 LA에도 오픈해 주세요. 그러면 제가 Fullerton까지 안 가도 돼서 좋긴 한데... 5번 프리웨이에서 화를 식혀줄 커피가 없어지는 건 조금 아쉽겠네요
