* Drinks/Food: I ordered a Matcha Einspanner and Ube Mochi Brownie. The matcha taste was really strong, which I liked. It was a good, solid drink and wasn't too sweet at all. I also loved the ube mochi brownie. It was so yummy and fun to eat. * Service: The staff were very nice. * Ambiance: This place gets pretty crowded, but there are plenty of seats and outlets, so it's still a good spot to hang out or study. However, their Wi-Fi sucks!!! I came here twice this past week, and both times the Wi-Fi was barely working.
The matcha flight was phenomenal! You get to choose four different flavors and I went with strawberry, ube, pandan, and banana. Each flavor was delicious and once mixed together, they blended beautifully with the matcha and creamy topping. I also tried their breakfast burrito and really enjoyed the sauce that came with it which added a great touch. The service was quick and I absolutely loved the ambiance! The decor is beautiful, with plenty of natural lighting that makes the space feel bright and inviting. Definitely a lovely spot to grab a bite and enjoy some matcha!
Friendly staff, quite busy on a Saturday afternoon. I got the pink coconut matcha and it was just okay at best. I was hoping it would taste more like Ayer's. I can barely taste the matcha in the matcha cloud. I'm going to have to try something else next time because the other drinks look more promising.
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.
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!
my friend and i checked out this cafe before heading to an event nearby - the interior was clean and had lots of picture frames hanged around the cafe. there are also lots of tables for seating and chatting. i visited the cafe before it became vivot and it still has the same vibes as the last cafe - we got the matcha einspanner with 50% sugar and the blueberry sparkling refresher. the matcha einspanner (4/5) was too sweet even at 50% sugar and it was a bit hard to taste the matcha. the blueberry sparkling refresher (3.8/5) was also very sweet and was indeed heavy on the blueberry flavor, but it was indeed refreshing to drink to cool us down. - we used the self-service kiosks to order and got our drinks fast. there is limited parking in front of the store and a parking lot in the back. i did hear good reviews about this cafe so i was a bit disappointed but i would like to give this a second chance overall, this was a nice cafe to try out in the fullerton area
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
I swear I thought I've left a review before but ig not. Vivot is probably somewhere in my top 15 matcha spots? They have plenty of seating and the matcha is good. I've had all the matcha on their menu and I love their matcha maniac. I haven't had their flights yet but someday.. maybe. The service is lacking sometimes, but on the bright side, they have 2 self serve kiosks if you have social anxiety. Store is usually clean too :) read more
I recently came back here with some friends and loved it all over again! The matcha was sooo good. We got two of the matcha flights, the Sweet Top flight and the Fruit flight and honestly, such a great deal. You basically get to try almost all of their matcha drinks, and it's crazy because they still have even more options. My favorites were definitely the strawberry matcha and the vanilla soft top matcha both were so good. The space is pretty big with lots of seating, but it does fill up quickly, so it can be a little hard to find a spot sometimes. That said, there are plenty of seating areas with chargers, which is a huge plus if you want to come here and get some work done. I also love that they close pretty late, so you have plenty of time to grab a drink, some food, and just hang out. The staff are super friendly too, and they don't rush you at all, which makes it such a nice place to relax and enjoy your time. read more

Self order kiosk at the front. We went on a Saturday afternoon around 1030am and thankfully no line. There's honestly no cons I can think of for Vivot. The high reviews are accurate because their matcha is really delicious, smooth AND aesthetic. I got the strawberry matcha latte & hub got the blueberry matcha. No complaints. They use high-quality matcha that doesn't taste powdery and the fruit purées are balanced well so it's not overwhelming. The strawberry matcha loaf was also good! Not too sweet which is always a great compliment for a baked item. What surprised me more is how frickin amazing their tamago (egg) sando is!! Pretty filling portions. Highly recommend it over the pesto chicken sando. read more

It took me so long to try this and as a matcha lover I regret it! The menu is HUGE which I love there's so many flavors you can't really find somewhere else. We came late afternoon on a Saturday and it wasn't too packed, we got seating and waited maybe 5 minutes for our drinks. My favorite was the Pandan milk matcha, it had a great balance of flavors without being overly sweet. Their plain matcha less sweet was good for someone who doesn't love sweet stuff. The eispanner with horchata cloud was good too once you mix it all in which I definitely recommend! read more

This place was ~alive~ even at 9pm with a line and people studying...I was much intrigued. Such a nice and airy space with plants around -- even ones they are selling. Looots of seating and I can see that this is a great study spot for college students, which I wished I had during undergrad. You order at the single kiosk. Good amount of options from regular tea, boba tea, matcha, and hojicha. They had your einspanner option with that sweet whipped milk foam top and fruit puree at the bottom (mango, strawberry, and raspberry). A hard choice had to be made, but I decided on the hojicha einspanner and my sister opted for the mango matcha. I neeeed that hojicha powder. Great flavor of that nutty "chocolate" profile. Not too rich though with the einspanner balancing out, which was more on the liquidy creamy side than thick. What did throw me off was the cinnamon. The mango matcha was just okay. Couldn't really taste the flavor of the matcha as much, but it had more of a bitterness / sour note... The mango was also just kind of ~there~ Seems like a solid spot. I wouldn't be mad if i studied here and had to drop a bit of a bag to get drinks here due to the lovely ambiance with ample seating! read more
GOING HERE AGAIN. This is my favorite matcha spot hands down. It's so good, rich and creamy taste with a strong matcha taste as well. The place is so neat and organized. I love their little frames with word definitions as it adds to the simplicity. It's a very simple but modern look with lots of small greenery here and there. Service was very efficient which kept the line going. Their matcha flight looks awesome so i'll be trying that next! Parking is a little hard however as I had to park on the curbside of the street, very limited parking. You would most likely have to park a little bit down from Vivot and then walk over, but it's not too far. read more

I've been to Vivot Craft Café in Fullerton multiple times now, and it's officially one of my go-to spots when I'm craving matcha and a cozy late-night hang. First of all, I love that they're open late. It's honestly hard to find cute café spots in OC that don't close super early, so Vivot automatically wins points for being the perfect late-night yap + dessert spot. Their matcha is consistently good -- creamy, earthy, and not overly sweet (which I appreciate). You can adjust the sweetness level, so whether you prefer a stronger, more traditional matcha flavor or something lighter and sweeter, it works either way. It doesn't taste artificial or watered down -- just smooth and well-balanced. And if you go, you have to get the sandwich. It's easily one of my favorite items on the menu. The bread is perfectly toasted with that slight crisp on the outside, and the fillings are generous and flavorful. It's satisfying without feeling too heavy, and pairs so well with one of their drinks. The space itself is cute and comfortable -- great for studying, catching up with friends, or just winding down at night. Every time I've gone, everything has been consistent, which is why I keep coming back. If you're in Fullerton and love matcha (or just need a late-night café option), Vivot is definitely worth checking out. read more
Craving Vietnamese coffee on our way back to Riverside, we stopped by Vivot Cafe, which was open in the evening. Order is through self service kiosk. After seeing so many mixed reviews about the matcha drinks, curiosity won and I decided to try the Raspberry Matcha (since I never tried this flavor before), ordered with oat milk and 50% sweetness. The Vietnamese coffee was decent, though the condensed milk strongly dominated the flavor. As for the Raspberry Matcha, it leaned quite sour, with the matcha flavor barely coming through. read more
Stopped by on the way back to West Hills from Anaheim instead of stopping at Kei Coffee House. Based on the reviews, I was excited to try it. It wasn't too busy and I went straight to the kiosk to order. It kind of sucks that I had only one option for matcha and be forced to pay extra. The drink was nearly $10 and I had no option to pick my preferred ice level, just sweetness. The drink was tasty and the banana flavor definitely came through the foam. The drink was made quickly too. It was great matcha flavor, as it should be since I paid extra for the type of matcha, haha. A nice try, top tier matcha compared to other places. Unsure if the price tag is worth it, though. read more
One of the best matcha place! I tried the "Matcha einspanner" and it was absolutely amazing. You can order from the screen and see all the menu which is so convenient. You can also choose the sweetness level based on your preference, I choose the "not too sweet" option which was %25. There was no line when I got there the place was not crowded, I also see some people working there from their laptop, they have plenty of seatings and the cafe itself was really cute. Nice place to hang out! Please just go try their drinks, I cant wait to try more! :) read more
If you're in the matcha phase of your life, this spot is a pretty cool place to check out! They may not offer the highest-quality matcha compared to dedicated matcha tea houses, but it's definitely an interesting concept. There's plenty of seating in the shop itself, and it's in Downtown Fullerton, so it's a quick stop if you're going to CSUF. When you walk in, you can order at the kiosk or at the cashier. We opted to order at the cashier because we had a few questions about the options available. The staff were very kind and knowledgeable, and we ended up ordering a matcha flight and the ice cream trio with corn, cookie butter, and black milk tea ice cream, with a very generous drizzle of matcha. The matcha flight itself was interesting, as we decided to do whole milk fruit matcha with strawberry, mango, guava, and peach. The fruit flavors were a bit too syrupy tasting for us, and so the best one was the strawberry, and I think the mango was a bit too overpowering. The ice cream, however, was delicious and the matcha drizzle definitely packed a punch. Overall, great concept, great place to study/hang out! read more

My coworker brought me here to try a matcha for the first time! Coffee is my favorite drink so I knew it was going to be tough for Vivot to win me over. I got a matcha and a delicious cookie. The matcha was good, but it just doesn't hit the same way a coffee does . You could tell that the ingredients were high quality and the baristas were skilled. This place was pretty popular. There was a good sized queue and there are tablets to place your order on. The baristas are nice and friendly. The look of the inside of the shop gives clean girl and plant girl. Lots of white and airy brightness. If I can get myself to become a matcha fan in the future, I would definitely come back! read more

I came with super high hopes because presentation is *chefs kiss*....and suffered from gas (despite choosing oat milk) later into the night. we had the matcha mango and the banana cream matcha. in the matcha mango, there were chunks of mango on the bottom, and a very strong matcha layered on top of the milk. I tried mixing it, but was still left with super strong matcha by itself in the end. Banana cream was just ok, nothing really to write home about. We had some stomach discomforts a few hours after drinking, and I can't pinpoint exactly how since we chose the oat milk option. Likely won't be back. read more
I'm not usually a matcha girlie, however Vivot has definitely converted me haha! Located in Downtown Fullerton, Vivot is literally the BEST matcha place I have ever been to. Pandan is my favorite flavor and I was so happy to see it on their menu, especially since sometimes it is hard to find. My usual here is the Pandan Matcha Latte with coconut milk and vegan coconut cream cloud! Thank god for the vegan coconut cream cloud by the way since its alsoooo really hard to find a place that has good nondairy foams (I have a dairy allergy so this is always convenient) This place is usually pretty busy and it is a bit of a wait sometimes to get your drinks, but honestly I don't mind because it makes sense. Their drinks are AMAZING and I don't blame them for always having a line haha. The inside is also pretty spacious as well and really minimalistic. It's a good place if you're looking for somewhere not super overstimulating to sit down or maybe use as a study spot! read more
I've been coming here to study pretty consistently, so it's about time I reviewed one of my favorite cafes in Fullerton! Vivot prides itself on quality matcha powder, customizable matcha flights, and plenty of spacious seating, outlets, and wifi for kids, students, and families alike to enjoy. The team making the drinks is always super friendly and on top of it. They keep the inside, outside front area, and bathroom clean, which I really appreciate since it can get so busy. *Hojicha Latte: This is my favorite drink here! You can taste the nuttiness of the hojicha, and the regular sweetness level isn't overwhelming. I love how large the sizing is, and I come here specifically when I crave this drink. *Original (OG) Matcha Latte: I've had this once and it was good. I'm not someone who claims to be an expert on matcha grades or flavors, but it tasted like you'd expect, though maybe a bit more bitter than I anticipated. I think they recently started offering ceremonial matcha too. *Salmon Lox Bagel: I like that this order gives you both halves of the bagel, each with different toppings. One half has cream cheese and lox, while the other has cream cheese, tomatoes, and cucumbers. The cucumber half had an interesting, tangy flavor. It was filling, but I might get something else next time since it didn't pair well with the matcha latte I ordered. *Avocado Toast: I appreciate how much they pack on top! In addition to avocado, this included cherry tomatoes, microgreens, feta cheese, and a balsamic glaze. I enjoyed eating this, especially the seasoning on the tomatoes. Parking is in the back and shared with other businesses, so it does get pretty full. The spot is also walkable from the Fullerton train stop, just one block across, where you could also theoretically park if you don't mind the walk. I still haven't tried the matcha flights (I always end up coming solo or with my boyfriend, who isn't a matcha fan), but I see a lot of people order them, and they look like a fun experience to try! read more
The right plc for extra extra bold matcha lovers. The intense matcha is triple layered and requires u to fill a waiver bc the caffeine exceeds the daily recommendation. I absolutely loved it over the matcha Jasmine. The jasmine was fragrant but the matcha made it somewhat bitter??, I would've wanted a sweeter fragrant Jasmine with matcha undertones. Amazing service, order ready in 5 minutes! Free almond milk adjustments. read more
Review 105/365 Day Challenge Visited here w my Friend Pow after our Hike/walk at the Fullerton Stairs/Steps. Came around 10:15 a.m. there was a lot of foot traffic flow and a lot of guests sitting enjoying their matcha drinks. Associates were really friendly, just when we went there was a confusion of a Matcha deal Day. So they got major guests waiting for their order which took a bit longer than expected for our 2 drinks & bagel cream cheese. ~ Blueberry Lavender Ube Matcha Latte w Ube CoLd Foam was my drink choice. The blueberry & ube can definitely taste but i couldn't taste the lavender flavor. The ube cold foam was delish. Asked for 75% sweetness. ~ Banana Matcha Latte is good. Banana isn't too strong. ~ Bagel w cream cheese was good but it was overpowering with a lot of cream cheese. It was made and warned, ready to be eaten. Lots of seatings inside. Cafe is very simple w lots of greenery plants. They have a kiosk where you self order and they have a register for cash only guests. Was able to get street parking off Commonwealth right in front of the Coffee shop. There's plenty of parking in the back but it's metered parking. So must pay in the parking lot. Located next to the Poke Co & Let it Brie in downtown Fullerton. ~ TIP 4% discount with cash paying guests FYI read more

Thanks for also being equally kind and energetic! Good vibes good…
Vivot Cafe is a solid spot for studying or hanging out, with friendly staff and a comfortable atmosphere. The original matcha was enjoyable, especially at 50% sweetness, which gave it a nice balanced flavor without being overwhelming. The Triple Pandan at 100% sweetness, however, was much too sweet and tasted almost like Fruity Pebbles. The portion sizes were decent for the price, and the service really stood out the staff was amazing and made the experience more enjoyable. It's a good cafe with potential, but the drinks can be hit or miss depending on sweetness levels. Three stars feels fair, and I'd consider returning, especially to study and try more drinks at customized sweetness. read more

Vivot has made hojicha become my newest obsession. They have the best tasting hojicha I've ever had and I can't see myself going anywhere else for it. It's perfectly roasty and nutty, I like to get their hojicha einspanner with the hojicha cloud. Matcha is super good too! Got their maniac matcha which was super strong, they even make you sign a waiver. Can't complain bc it got me through my 12 hour shift with no issues lol read more
This is definitely matcha heaven! They have matcha flight if you want to explore their matcha options. It's so crowded when I come because of the matcha fever and I know I'm in a good spot. I had: 1. Fruit flight: strawberry, mango, blueberry jasmine cloud, banana ube cloud 2. Matcha einspanner 3. Original matcha latte with strawberry cloud read more
First of all, the service here was great. This place also happened to be very busy when we went on a weekend. When you walk in, you have two options: kiosk order and cashier order. As you order on the kiosk, staff will offer to answer any questions you may have, even as they all rush to make drinks. If the cafe is packed and there aren't any tables, you may have to awkwardly wait along one of the rails or walls after you order. I ordered their double matcha. The matcha flavor was definitely strong. I enjoyed that the drink was not grassy nor bitter. The matcha was also smooth and not chunky at all. I found the foam to be quite thick and more similar in texture to an einspanner cream, rather than a cold foam. I enioyed it! The foam was not too sweet either. I would definitely recommend trying this place if you're in the area! read more

MELLISA was the only one at the bar but she was still so nice and friendly despite it being a little busy!! +she made the best matcha i've ever had. Definitely coming back read more
Was next door and wanted to get a drink after eating so went there with my friend to share a cold latte....Place was packed....but after having there latte not sure why....maybe they don't specialize in coffee as much as other things.... Anyhow just just tasted like a watered down coffee which had no flavor.... Too many choices in DT Fullerton to come back here again. read more

Thank you for your feedback. I’ll investigate the issue and retrain…

Overall: I've heard about this cafe a lot and had to pay a visit when I was in the downtown Fullerton area. I got the pandan matcha, which was BY FAR one of the best I've had. A little on the sweeter side, but exactly how I'd want it to be flavored. Service: A longer line when I went, but orders got taken quickly and drinks came out quickly too! Ambiance: Simple but cute, definitely a more worn building but I like the vibe. There were a lot of people studying inside, so seems like it's a good idea to come early if you want to snag a spot to sit down. read more

I love going to try new coffee shops. This one had awesome reviews so I was looking forward to trying it. The ordering system is super inconvenient. Because you have to order it on ipads and there is only one so the ordering line can get long..... But luckily they also had a line for cash paying customers which I took advange of. A nice guy took my order. I asked him if their matcha is Organic and with alot of hesitation he responded "yessss" which made me to think that their matcha might not be organic afterall.... Lol I got the lavender matcha (half sweet). It was good but it is not the most memorable matcha that I ever got. This place has this many reviews perhaps because it is open until late, not because they serve great tasting coffee/matcha drinks! read more

My first visit was a week ago and I was very pleased. I was never a matcha girl and had tried it four times. I decided to give it one more try and was very impressed. The strawberry matcha is a 10/10. Friendly staff, order at kiosk, and great service. It's not loud and enough seating. Reasonable prices, street parking and parking in the back. I went back again today just to get the strawberry matcha :) read more

Came for the $3 drink promotion a few weeks ago. Waited in line for about an hour but it moved really quick, just surprised so many other people were there for matchas at 8pm. I got the matcha einspanner with matchamisu cream top and I felt like the matcha taste was far too strong. I tried the banana matchas my friend got and it was alright. The ordering system was a little strange, one kiosk and one cashier taking orders. Limited space inside especially on a busy event like this, and not for a group of my size (7 people). read more
Came on a Wednesday evening, and the place was packed! Parking can be a bit difficult with the limited free street parking options but they also have a paid lot in the back. Service was attentive and ambiance was casual with a lot of people studying at the coffee shop. They also open late so can be an ideal study spot. Tried a matcha flight for the first time, and it totally lived up to the hype- beautiful presentation and super fun to try. You can customize it with your choice of milk and either 4 cream tops or 4 fruit tops. We went with the cream tops and got the og salted vanilla, ube, hojicha, and pandan. The hojicha and salted vanilla were rich and creamy, while the ube and pandan were lighter and more subtle. Hojicha was my personal favorite- it had a deep, strong tea flavor. Would come again for the study vibes and to try their other matcha drinks! read more
Matcha is Matcha-ing! Pretty tasty drinks, ceremonial grade - guaranteed for those who chase quality. Pricing is a bit on the high side but I think the quality pays itself. Boba is pretty bland but nothing one can oversee with the tea itself. Got there a bit late and missed the egg sandos, next time! read more
Located in downtown Fullerton, they were busy, especially on a Saturday. They have a kiosk to place orders but since the line was almost to the door, we didn't notice the staff at the counter until we got near the front area. Unfortunately, the staff couldn't clearly explain the available flavors for the matcha flight, which was the main reason we visited. Given how busy they were, it took some time for us to get our drinks and with no available seating, we decided to take our orders to go. I tried their Blueberry Matcha, but it was disappointing. It tasted a bit watered down and lacked blueberry flavor. The chaotic environment and the underwhelming drink didn't leave a lasting impression and I'm not sure if I'd return. read more
I came by Tuesday morning with a friend who recommended this spot to do some work and it was a packed cafe - super popular! I found a table to put my stuff down at the very back corner where some of the noise was able to be muffled out and went to look at a menu before placing my order. I got an iced jasmine milk tea with boba (75% sweet) and a Ube mochi brownie. I waited maybe 10 minutes before hearing my name called and my drink was ready but my brownie was no where to be found. I notified the staff and they corrected it immediately saying it was on the way shortly which was no big deal and I sat down with my drink. The first sip was unfortunately pretty disappointing though - a bit watered down from the start, so I couldn't taste the jasmine tea very well, and the sweetness was lacking (which that part is my fault! ^^; - I always tell myself to try 100% the first time and altering for the next time but I forgot). The boba was good though! Good consistency/texture and a nice sweet flavor. I heard my name called again and received my brownie, which to my surprise was much bigger than I thought it would be + it was warmed up! I was excited to try since I love mochi brownies because they remind me of the butter mochi I've had in Hawaii, but unfortunately this also was disappointing. I think when they heated it up it caused the mochi to harden instead of soften and kind of felt like chewy stale bread... the taste was okay, but I couldn't find it in myself to finish it as it was progressively getting harder and harder as it cooled off :( similar with my drink already being watered down, as the ice melted (and I'm a slow drinker) it just got progressively more watery ^^; We locked in on working on our laptop, and thankfully the place comes with free wifi! We were there for about 4 hours, and the internet did poof once, but recovered after a couple of minutes. Another ding for me though was that there was only one bathroom and as service started ramping up so did the wait. Overall it was an okay cafe. Cute atmosphere although when I went it was pretty busy and loud. Lots of cute pastry options and an extensive drink menu. I'm open to coming back again maybe, but unfortunately it hasn't left me with a great impression enough to recommend it to anyone. read more
I was the biggest hater of coconut matcha, which is coconut water with matcha foam, until I tried the the pink coconut matcha cloud refresher. They complement each other very well and it's not too sweet, which I loved. I was also curious about the variety of syrups they offer so I paired a matcha latte with guava syrup and coconut cloud and it became a fun tropical drink. There's an infinite number of drinks you can make with 16 cloud cream flavors and 9 fruit purees they offer. They just started offering superior matcha which is a grade higher than the premium matcha they used to offer. I'm not sure if I could tell the difference because I didn't try it on its own but I recommend ordering a plain matcha latte to truly enjoy the taste of the matcha. Also, don't sleep on the pandan cookie or tamago sando. I know you're coming here for the drinks but these two items were good. There was seating available when I visited on a Friday afternoon but it can get pretty back during the weekend. read more

Vivot was amazing. Stopped by on Sunday afternoon and it was so easy to place your order on their tablet. I opted for a dirty matcha with the banana cold foam. The banana cold foam was light and not too sweet. I got my drink 25% sweet, and it was perfect for someone who doesn't like too much sweetness. The employee working was really nice and very quick in preparing our orders. read more

Wanted to try this place as I heard they offer a matcha flight, which seemed really interesting! Parking can be difficult as there's a small lot and it can get crowded. The wait was HORRIBLE on a Saturday afternoon. It took us around 30-40 minutes to get our order and there is limited seating inside. The waiting system was poorly managed. There were two lines, kiosk vs paying in front of a cashier, but the lines were indistinguishable. Decided to get their matcha cloud flights and tried the following flavors: - OG (salted vanilla) - Matchamisu - Ube - Jasmine The cream tops were all pretty delicious but they mask the matcha flavor a bit. I thought they all tasted pretty similar after a bit but the OG (salted vanilla) cream definitely stood out. For the price it isn't too bad because there's four and the setup is cute. Overall, not the best matcha place but worth to try if you're in the area! read more

Cute little coffee place. For the flight of... fruit matcha teas? You get 4 (guava, mango, peach... and something else). They were pretty food. The line gets long at times, and in the evenings, there are a lot of people sitting around, talking, and into work/school. It's pretty crowded, but a nice place to hang out if you can get a spot. Parking is easy. read more

Hi! I was wondering if you sift your matcha so there aren't clumps? :)

Where do you source your matcha from? Do you have matcha powder tins or bags that customers can purchase?
We’re excited to announce that, since last week, we're exclusively using our Superior grade matcha, sourced directly from Japan. What makes our matcha truly unique is that our small, private farmers only grind the leaves to order. While many brands…
