This is absolutely one of my favorite spots in my area now. Vivot is a 10/10. I live in Laguna Niguel and having this close by is so nice. This is the first place i have ever tried Pandan. It is sooo good. From the cream top to the actual pandan matcha. The coffee is definitely special too Even my Pomeranian loves going there He gets a little pandan cream top and loves it. I love the Matcha The best and sweetest staff read more

"The pink coconut matcha drink was refreshing, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The coconut flavor blended smoothly with the matcha without being too sweet. It had a beautiful presentation and tasted just as good as it looked. A unique and delicious drink I would definitely order again!" Service was good. The only con about it .. it smelled like perm from hair chemicals read more

This place came highly recommended! To start, the matcha was out of this world! Vibrant, flavorful, with great mouthfeel. Probably the best matcha I've had at a coffee shop. It seems like the perfect place to study or read. Some of the desserts and drinks seemed really interesting and I definitely want to give it another try. BUT the wait for 1 drink and 1 sandwich in a near empty shop was ridiculous-- at least 20 minutes, and there was no one around to check on my order. I almost walked away as I was in a hurry. My ham and cheese croissant was not as expected. It was a croissant cut open with sliced ham and cheese inside, pressed flat. So, I would like to give it another chance, but the wait, lack of service, and unimpressive food were not great. read more

This is my favorite matcha place!! I love getting the matcha flights to share with friends, they have so many fun flavors to try. My favorite is the ube cloud or banana cream, I do tend to like the clouds better than the fruit teas but both are great! Their sandwiches are also fantastic and fluffy, and I could live off their ube cookies. Wish I was closer and could come more often. Staff is always friendly and the line goes decently quick. Pricing is a lot better than I expected tbh, would 100% recommend! read more

This place is a Gem. It opens for a long period of time if you ever want to stow away at a nice place to study and/or read. The drinks they make are quite exceptional for what you pay - they do prioritize quality and presentation so that what you pay does feel worthwhile for not just the nourishment but the experience of it all. There's a variety of seating from bar stools to square tables to benches. My sister and I got more than one drink and baked goods. They're good as delectable treats. Service is kind. It may take some time for your order to be completed, but it's done for the quality. God bless you all. read more

We stopped by here on our trip back from Oceanside. Wanted matcha and I Yelped for a cafe and came across Vivot and decided to try! They are located in a fairly new small plaza on second floor in the same location with Hampton Inn and the car wash. There is an escalator and there is no sign like other Yelpers mentioned but it wasn't hard to find the. Go up the escalator and it's right behind the escalator when you came up. The staff were super nice and friendly! Drinks were good and they are known for their matcha, with so many options for it. We came during a power outage and they were still able to craft out excellent matcha drinks. We got the eispanner and a latter with matcha and coconut foam. Both were great and I love the fact that you can adjust sweetness. Would def recommend! Their matcha is strong. read more

I was in the area and craving matcha and Vivot came up on yelp with good reviews so I checked it out around 1pm on a Wednesday. The location itself is on the second floor. I ordered a banana matcha, 50% sweet. The color was perfect and it definitely had an earthy matcha taste which I loved. I wish it was a bit sweeter but 75% seemed to be too much which is why I went with 50. Overall it had a consistent flavor. I would come back and try others! read more

Vivot Craft Cafe - Banana matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Hands down the best matcha I've had. I would definitely come here all the time for their matcha because it's not too sweet. I tried their fruit flight matcha with oat milk and the balance was so perfect. It wasn't overly sweet so you don't need to adjust the sweetness. It wasn't grassy or earthy matcha it was still high grade and you could taste it. The overall best of both worlds when it comes to a great matcha in my opinion. I'm someone who doesn't like too sweet and the fruit jam they used didn't overpower the matcha. I also ordered their egg sando and this is what I DID NOT like. I would NOT recommend this. Their bread did not taste like Japanese milk bread and it was not soft it was hard worst than even wonder bread because they used the butt of the bread?!?! I asked the waiter is it normal for the bread to be this hard and I showed him with my spoon pressing down on it. And he said oh it looks like they used the butt of the bread and it might still be a little frozen? I could not eat it. I only ate the inside egg part. I would come back for their matcha though. It's also upstairs so a little hard to find at first. read more

My husband took me here for my first Mother's Day since I really like matcha. Luckily I read a few reviews before going or we would not have known it was upstairs. We also did not know there was an elevator so we carried the car seat up a lot of stairs. We walked in and no one greeted us, I had a few questions about the flavors on the menu so I waited for a barista to acknowledge us but no one did, after about 5 minutes I ended up just putting my order in on the iPad in the front. The inside feels like a warehouse, there was not one comfortable seat they are mostly hard and low seating, (I previously had surgery so it is hard for me to sit low). My husband got an Americano which tasted more like water than espresso, overall I would come back just for the matcha. read more

Vivot Craft Cafe - Cream cloud matcha flight (hojicha, jasemine. Strawberry, and ube) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

5 stars for the coffee I had since they finally made their way over to south OC. I love the ordering kiosk up front, there was an item that said it was sold out and the cashier had to manually insert it. Everyone is so helpful and willing to answer questions, and love the architecture inside, with the cement counters and lighting. It's def cozy for studying! Now to find this place though.., that's a whole different story. They have yet to put a sign out front saying where they are located, or maybe it's there and I missed it? All I know is that it took me forever to realize they are in the second floor. Maybe putting a sign on the first floor that everyone needs to go up a level. I didn't seem to be the only other person confused of where it was located. This could also not be their fault at all as city codes take forever to get approved. Regardless, it's a cute spot with superb tasting matcha that left me yearning for more. read more

Having enjoyed Vivot's OG Fullerton location, I was very excited to see they opened a location in south OC! They have a variety of matcha, hojicha, and coffee with different fruit purees and cream tops. I'm here at least once a week because that's how good their matcha is. My go to is their mango matcha - the mango puree is fresh and the balance between mango and matcha is perfect. I've also tried their strawberry matcha, blueberry matcha, and matcha einspanner too and those are all great too. They are always consistent and I've never had a bad drink. The staff are friendly and always offer to adjust your drink if you don't like it. The space is nice and there's plenty of room and tables. Parking is easy - I recommend parking on the top floor since Vivot is located on the second floor. read more

Vivot Craft Cafe - Mango matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Located on the 2nd floor of a small plaza (you can't really see their sign from the "outsides" of the plaza); lots of parking. For those who want to interact minimally with others, you can order at a kiosk inside (you can also order with the barista at the register). There's a decent amount of seating inside, though many of the spots were taken up by those studying or doing work on their devices. (I came about 5pm on a Sunday.) I got a white peach matcha latte (listed under fruit puree matcha) and it really was nice and rich in both flavors!! I definitely will be coming back. read more

Howdy there, everyone! I KNOW you guys like matcha...all you performative people out there. So we're gonna help you out! Matcha is kind of tough to do right. That being said, this Mission Viejo spot is pumping them out like its christmas! Don't worry, for y'all in North OC, there's a location in Fullerton too! Anyways, we came over here one fateful afternoon to enjoy some tasty tea touted by tourists in Tokyo....or Kyoto, I guess. Matcha! That green stuff that sometimes tastes like grass to an untrained tongue. We happen to really like it. It's a pretty big menu, but there's the standard popular drinks that everyone gets. I got a mango matcha latte and a matcha einspanner. Both drinks came out pretty fast, and we started sippin! The mango matcha was fruity, rich, and perfectly flavored. Not too sweet! It's an easy drink if you're looking for a fruit-forward drink that isn't as matcha-y as their other offerings. Contrasting that, was the einspanner. It's a creamy rich matcha-only drink that really forces you to taste that delicious ground tea. I can see why those boys in barrel-leg jeans and tote bags really love it. Well, we really like this place. It's clean-looking, and you can have fun around the whole area. Like this....Or this! If you're thirsty for matcha today, why not come and try Vivot Craft Cafe?! read more

Hands down the best matcha I have ever had. And that is saying a lot. This place is an absolute gem tucked right by the freeway and if you blink, you might miss it, which would be a huge mistake. The moment you walk in, the space feels calm, intentional, and elevated without being pretentious. Clean lines, warm wood, greenery, and a minimalist vibe that immediately tells you they care deeply about what they're serving. I ordered the ube matcha with banana foam and I am still thinking about it. The ube flavor was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Not overly sweet, not artificial tasting, just smooth and indulgent in the best way. The matcha itself was clearly high quality and handcrafted. You can taste the difference immediately. It was bold, earthy, and velvety without any bitterness. This is not your average cafe matcha. Now let's talk about the banana foam because wow. Thick, luscious, and actually tastes like real banana. It added the perfect layer of creaminess and depth to the drink. Every sip was better than the last. Easily one of the best drinks I have had in a very long time, not just matcha, but drinks in general. My husband ordered a regular coffee with strawberry foam. They had unfortunately run out of Vietnamese coffee that day, which honestly just tells me they are doing something right because clearly people are ordering it nonstop. Even without it, his drink was excellent. Smooth, well balanced coffee with a rich body, no bitterness, and the strawberry foam added a subtle sweetness that worked surprisingly well. It tasted intentional, not gimmicky, which is rare. You can tell the drinks here are made with care. Everything feels thoughtfully crafted, from the foam textures to the flavor pairings. This is the kind of place where the baristas actually know what they are doing and take pride in it. Service was friendly, patient, and happy to explain the menu, which I really appreciated because there are so many unique options. The menu itself is creative without being overwhelming, and I already know I need to come back to try more. If you love matcha, this place is a must. If you think you don't like matcha, this place might change your mind. And if you're a coffee person, you're still in very good hands here. Hidden gem. Worth going out of your way for. I will absolutely be back and bringing people with me. read more

I went here with my husband on a weekday morning to try out the matcha since we'd heard about the matcha you need a waiver for and the matcha flights. Once we got there, we decided to try something different - I got a lychee matcha and it was delicious! I really enjoy the flavor of matcha but lattes can get too heavy so the lychee was great and felt much lighter and not too sweet. The cafe itself is upstairs and a bit awkward to find - I think it's still a bit new so they could use better signage. Inside it's clean and open and we really appreciated the ample charging ports available since we wanted to get some work done as well. I would go back here for a nice matcha and maybe try some of the other flavors. read more

Was hoping to love this place. It was bad and I can say their hoji fruit was undrinkable. I accidentally ordered the hoji fruit w banana instead of the banana matcha latte off their tablet-- I was looking off the menu and felt this was confusing. Anyway my drink was disgusting and the girls knew I mis-ordered off the screen and I wish they would have offered to correct it. When I even grabbed my drink I even asked is this the banana matcha and she said "yes" in which I replied "oh my bad I'm not use to it being brown." The boba oh lawd probably the worst boba pearls I have ever had it was very firm and not soft and chewy. I've been to a lot of shops so that's saying a lot. The banana in my drink was not good either and couldn't save my drink. Won't be back. Location was good with plenty of parking. I want to add the photos online looked really rustic and cool but I felt it was just alight in-person. read more

Vivot Craft Cafe - Hoji fruit w banana and boba--bad - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Spacious cafe in Mission Viejo with good matcha drinks! I went around 11am on a Monday. The place wasn't very busy but more people trickled in later on. You can order either by using the kiosk or at the counter. There's plenty of room to sit, free wifi, and outlets to charge your devices. :) I ordered a banana matcha with oat milk, 75% sweetness, and with the matcha being hand whisked (which is an additional charge). Although a bit pricey, it was so good! You can tell they use real bananas to make their banana puree. The matcha was also not too sweet or bitter. Despite being super far from me, I would definitely come again to try their other matcha drinks! I also enjoyed studying here, so would come back to do that again. :-) read more

Vivot has the best matcha in Orange County, mark my words. I've tried other "viral" OC matcha spots and none of them were memorable. Tbh I came here with low expectations but the pictures looked promising. The cafe is located on the second floor and the parking is plentiful. I tried their strawberry and mango matchas and wowie they were incredible. The purees were perfect and made with real fruit. Also, the drinks were in a generous 16oz cup. Service is friendly and quick. There are tables inside if you wanted to get work done, but wish they had some outdoor seating to enjoy the warm weather. I will definitely return here and recommend it if you're a matcha lover. read more

I was in Mission Viejo for a day and planned to stop by Vivot during their soft opening. I saw photos of tea flights and had to try it! Preferring hojicha (roasted green tea), I got a flight of that instead of typical matcha. Choose your milk, sweetness level, and four different cold foams. I picked the following with oat milk, less sweet: Pandan Matchamisu Horchata Banana They have other cool flavors like lavender, ube, sakura(?), and more! I should've gotten no added sweetness for the tea base but one of my friends has never had Hojicha before and she likes sweet boba haha. The flight was amazing! Each cold foam was yummy and creamy. My favorite had to be banana. We had an event right after so I mixed the last of the banana and horchata together in a paper cup meant for water to go. Couldn't leave the goods behind! Friends ordered banana matcha with boba & mango matcha with crystal boba. They enjoyed! We also ordered a pesto chicken sando and egg salad sando. Both looked soo tasty! I had half of the former and it hit the spot with protein-rich juicy grilled chicken, fragrant pesto, fresh tomato and spinach. Employees were very helpful and handcrafted each drink carefully. Kinda wish I video recorded them assembling my flight. They call the sando maker "chef" which I found cute. Maybe they are an actual chef? This spot has a fair amount of indoor seating. Pretty cozy spot for chilling with friends or grabbing a drink to go. Parking doesn't seem to be an issue (above the car wash business). Will definitely recommend to friends visiting SoCal! If they had one up here, I'd totally try their guava matcha. read more

This is dangerous for me. Vivot is very close to my work and I've been here 2 days in a row now. Located on the second floor, above the car wash, Vivot is somewhat hidden from the street. Parking is plenty. The space is open and modern, but often packed, as it is very close to Saddleback college as well. Their matcha is great. The matcha einspanner with sea salt foam is delicious. There is a bit of a wait, because they make everything fresh. I thought the price is a little high but you also get a big cup. I know I'm gonna be here often and will try other things on the menu. read more

We got to try their ube matcha, pandan matcha and the einspeinner. All are very good. Einspeinner was prolly my fave. Drinks range from $6-8 Recommend checking them out read more

Mixed feelings about Vivot location in Mission Viejo. The cafe is on the second floor above the car wash area. You can get $5 off for car wash if you show them the receipt. It's best to enter from the Marguerite Pkwy side instead of the Hampton Inn side of the road. It will be less confusing to find the cafe entrance that way as the signage can be taken down at times. I've visited this location twice so far. The drinks were either incorrect or tasted rancid and for the visits and I'm unsure if I would return. The first visit I had, the kiosk payment system was down, and the drink I received was incorrect. Although the strawberry foam I requested was available as verified by the person working there that day, I received regular matcha. I was informed they use premium matcha powder, but I didn't really taste much of it even though the coloring was beautifully green. The second visit I had, the kiosk was operational, but the service curt and brusque. It was between 10-1030 during a weekday morning. No customers in the store and the barista appeared extremely grumpy. The taller gentleman in the kitchen looked very frazzled and exasperated the entire time I was there. Their interactions seemed tense and acrimonious. The strawberry matcha I ordered tasted like it contained rancid milk. The cookies had a nice flavor but it tasted very stale and had an odd oily texture. The music was also extremely loud and uncomfortable. It was playing WAP by Cardi B., and other very loud rap music. The service was also slow. I just didn't think I would be waiting for more than 10+ minutes for one drink when there were no customers whatsoever in the store. Additionally, the tables and windows could benefit from some wipe down during off-peak hours. It's an otherwise nicely set up store with multiple big windows. The glares from the sun makes the dirty windows look all that much more salient especially when the tables and chairs are nicely set up right next to them. I would have otherwise stayed at the cafe to get some work done if the drink was good and the barista seemed a bit more approachable. I get it. It's early-ish in the morning and you never know what people are going through. But a customer should be able to feel comfortable enough to speak up about their needs whether be it turning down the music some, or getting the drink remade because it tasted rancid. read more

Vivot Craft Cafe, is located on the corner of Marguerite and Avery Parkway, in the new two story building. There is no official sign or directory when you get there. Just know that they're upstairs and you'll see them as you get off the escalators that do not work, at least at night time. Walking in, feels like an unfinished industrial style interior which I actually really like. It's nice and cool inside, while it feels like a comfy joint to chill and chat with some friends. I didn't notice a menu board but I know you can scan their menu on your phone and you can order at a large screen kiosk to the side of the large open counter. What I ordered: 1) Pandan matcha with the matcha upgrade - 1/2 sweet, oat milk, sweet cream foam. The other foams were out by the time I arrived that night. This is delicious. Absolutely delicious. It's also a "safe" flavor but don't let that fool you. 2) Guava matcha - 1/2 sweet with sweet cream cold foam. I totally underestimated this one. I loved it even more than the pandan flavor. I've always been a straight matcha type and cringed at seeing videos of matcha with fruity flavors. After having both the Pandan and especially the guava matcha, I am a convert to these fruity blends. Be open to it. Trust me. You will thank yourself for giving it a try. I can't wait to go back. I'll be ordering the guava and the mango matchas next. Let's keep these guys open, cause these matchas are so good. read more

Go try them out... they serve high quality Matcha, and lots of different options for flavors! and the location is great with easy parking! I've seen people post that their employees are not friendly, but I 100% disagree... I've not experienced that! I believe it's because the café is newer, and they are trying to focus on doing their jobs! :) read more

This new matcha place opened nearby and I was excited to try it. I got the fruit matcha flight and you can choose the 4 flavors. I got guava, mango, strawberry and peach flavors. Guava had the least flavor so the matcha drink overpowered its taste. Mango and strawberry had a good flavor. I also got the egg sando, the bread is Japanese milk bread and the sandwich had a good consistency to it. The shopping center access is a bit strange as it has 2 floors of parking and there aren't many stores in the plaza. It is close to Saddleback college and Capo Valley High. It has ample seating and it was a very chill quiet environment, I saw some people using laptops working there. read more

I always have mixed thoughts about Vivot...they used to be one of my faves but now they're overhyped & suffering to keep up with the demand. I came here knowing I might not love it but still wanted to try their new location! Drinks were either too bitter or too sweet so I had to ask for more sugar or milk rip. ORDERED: - Mango matcha w/sticky rice - the sticky rice add-on made it all the more better, can't taste the matcha, too sweet overall - Banana matcha - not the biggest fan of their banana puree...giving brown sugar & tastes like banana bread :') I prefer my drinks more smooth - Hojicha einspanner - good if you like your hojicha stronger/bitter! i had it again at their other location and it was much sweeter so idk what's the right ratio - Egg sando & Chicken caprese sando - controversial but I love their food over their drinks The owner is the absolute sweetest though so I'll continue my support! Even gave us free cookies :-) read more

This place is yummy! Flights are big and good for sharing. The cloud matcha flight was tasty, although I wish the flavors were labeled. We were blindly tasting and could really only taste a big difference in flavor in one of them. Otherwise, we had no idea what we were tasting. Yummy, but not very obvious flavor profiles. The jasmine milk tea is good and strong too, everyone loves a classic. The ordering kiosk is convenient but takes awhile, especially if you have menu questions. I always personally prefer talking to an actual person (who wasn't available when we ordered, they do have that option). Overall, I'd come back again. read more

Vivot Craft Cafe - Inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

This place has been on my list for sooo long since I found them on media advertising their matcha flight. I haven't gotten myself motivated enough to drive to Fullerton, so I was so excited to hear that they were opening to close to home. I did see an ad for a $2 milk tea special as part of their soft opening, so decided to head out and try it. When mapping it here, it does not tell you much of where it is, but I was led to park in a side parking spot, then needed to walk up broken escalators, as the elevator was not working, and try to find the location upstairs. It is hidden and it does not seem to be a map of the plaza. We walked in and there was a small line. They were mainly only taking orders off their self serve kiosk, so it did take longer than expected. We tried the following: Jasmine Green Tea: This one was GOOD! I think this was my favorite of them all. It had a subtle not so perfumey jasmine flavor to it. It was perfectly milky and sweet. My mom also found this one to be her favorite! Khmai Tea: This is their version of a thai milk tea. This one was also good and flavorful. It had a bit thicker and creamier of a consistency that I am used to, but nevertheless, it was very good. A bit on the sweeter side for thai tea, I would say. Green Thai Tea: This one was what was expected of green thai tea. It was good and creamy as well. They accidentally put sakura boba in my drink, but were quick to not only resolve this by providing me with a refund, but also making me a whole new drink! Overall, I would say I would come back here to try their matcha, since that is what they are known for. I was a bit disappointed to have come by and they not have any boba available. I will need to come back at a time they do have boba available to add to drinks for the full experience. Hoping this won't be too overcrowded with all the social buzz they have been getting in gSouth OC! read more

Vivot is now open in South OC in the Mission Viejo area! This spot is serving up some solid matcha and hojicha drinks in a cool and casual setting. This spot is located in a plaza with a good amount of parking spots. Inside, they have a nice modern setup with about 6-7 tables for seating. They have a kiosk machine for self-ordering where you can customize any matcha or hojicha drink to your liking. I ended up getting a Hojicha Banana Latte and wifey got the Superior Matcha Latte. Overall, we are glad to see another API-owned business thriving and expanding. Both of the drinks we got had nice flavor profiles without tasting too sweet. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. This is a great spot to come get some work done, meet up with a homie, or just to grab some drinks and go. read more
