    Soooo excited to have another matcha spot in south OC! I've gone here a few times and the matcha is consistently delicious! The cafe itself has a nice ambience but is a little difficult to locate as it's on the second floor and there isn't any signage on the first floor. Service is limited since you order at a kiosk but i was asked to try my drink and modifications could be made if needed!

    Iced OG Matcha

    Just as good as the Fullerton location! I stopped here when I was in the area (Apple Maps makes it confusing but you can access it by parking in the lot next door and walking up to the second floor). Matcha was super tasty as always and I think a little cheaper here than the one in Fullerton (I paid on the kiosk and it was $7 for the OG iced matcha latte). It's not as strong but still has the high quality matcha. Workers were pretty quick and friendly. The inside was also very large and had lots of seating area inside and out with a good amount of wall plugs if you need to study.

    "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

    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.

    I visited Vivot on a Wednesday afternoon to catch up with a couple of friends. I ordered the pink coconut matcha while my friends got the mango matcha latte & hojicha einspanner--we all enjoyed our drinks. I was surprised to spot a Red Bull matcha on the menu since I've never seen it at any other matcha cafe before. I liked the layout of the cafe, & that there were indoor & outdoor seating options for both chatting with friends & getting some work done. Would definitely visit again!

    Our 2nd time trying out this Matcha Cafe as it is conveniently located near the freeway exit. It's a hip modern cafe that has a lot of tables inside if you have some work stuff or friendly catchup to do. On our first visit we tried the Ube Matcha and Matcha Einspanner. Matcha Einspanner is much better than the ube. And they don't charge extra for Milk alternatives like Oat and Soymilk which is great! You can adjust the sweetness of their matcha drinks as well and have Splenda alternatives. On our 2nd visit we tried their Double Hojicha and Double Matcha which are both solid. I liked the Hojicha more because you can really taste the nutty flavor and cinammon on top. It's pretty packed on the weekends but there were no lines as the staffs are quick on the orders as well. A must try if you're along the way and needed that matcha fix!

    I ordered a regular ice matcha latte with regular milk. The matcha had a nice earthy and bitter taste. Not overly sweet or bitter. Lots of people usually don't like matcha due to the bitter taste but this is a perfect matcha for those getting into matcha and want to pivot from the overly sweet matcha. The drink was creamy and a perfect ratio of milk, matcha and ice. The service was quite slow each time I go. this place gets busy and they only have one person making matcha and one in the kitchen so expect a wait. The ambiance is casual and they have a huge seating area so perfect for working or school! Would definitely come again to try their other drinks! They have not only matcha but also coffees and pastries!

    Matcha Eispanner

    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.

    the interior is so spacious and a great place to study. the banana matcha had a good flavor and same with the hojicha.

    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.

    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!

    My favorite cafe I visit almost every day for either the Strawberry or Banana Matcha, and it's always 10/10. If you enjoy a strong darker green matcha, come here...I've tried countless cafes but nothing compares. I've brought so many friends and they're obsessed too! The staff makes Vivot so special. Everyone is incredibly welcoming, sweet, and always remembers you. Service is consistently fast even when busy. Huge props to Destiny and Brandon for always making my day. Safe to say I'm a regular for a reason

    2.8.26- still needs to put official sign

    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.

Once we made it to the actual shop, it was clean and aesthetic inside. There's also other businesses surrounding the coffee shop so you can kill time when waiting for your drink. They were quick to make it because we went earlier in the morning. They had very fun and exciting drink options if you like a signature drink versus a standard latte or cold brew. I would definitely recommend!

Their son in particular is phenomenal and always made every interaction pleasant. The baked goods are fresh, delicious, and clearly made with care. While there was one interaction in the past that felt a little more business-focused than hospitality-focused regarding a mall discount, it was far from enough to take away from the overall experience this bakery consistently provides. Manager ( not the owners ) was upset I wasn't able to offer a mall discount when they were able too. Came to the point she would verbally say we wouldn't ( myself and crew members) wouldn't be receiving it. Personally not a big deal. Most I'd spend was 5-7$ and discount was less than a dollar. Still a phenomenal bakery At the end of the day, great ownership, great products, and great people. Small businesses like this deserve support, and I'm always happy to recommend them.

    Fantastic food and drinks -- just plan ahead on busy mornings…read more Pandor Artisan Bakery and Café is a true local gem, especially if you love well-made drinks, crepes, and pastries done right. We visited on a Saturday morning around 9:30am, and while the place was very busy and lively, it's easy to see why it's so popular. Drinks: The honey lavender latte was excellent -- smooth, lightly floral, and not overly sweet. The Nutella cortado is also a standout and a great choice if you like something rich but balanced. Food: The chicken and mushroom crepe had great flavor and was very satisfying. The Romeo and Juliette crepe was absolutely delicious and easily one of the highlights of the visit. Pastries: The almond croissant and peach danish were my favorites -- flaky, fresh, and exactly what you hope for at a bakery like this. Because it was a peak Saturday morning, there was about a 15-minute wait to find a table, and ordering took another 20 minutes. My food came out fairly quickly, but my husband's order was unfortunately missed and didn't arrive until about 40 minutes later. That said, the woman running the place was an absolute sweetheart -- incredibly kind, apologetic, and genuinely attentive. She even offered us a free dessert to make up for the delay, which we really appreciated. The rest of the staff was also friendly and helpful despite how crowded it was. The space does get noisy when it's full, so it's not the most relaxing dine-in experience during peak hours. My advice: order online and take it to go -- this would be perfect for a picnic or a relaxed breakfast elsewhere. The food and drinks are absolutely worth it, and with a little planning, you'll have a great experience.

I ordered an iced sea salt jasmine tea (large). I ordered through their website on my way there. When I went in to pick it up, the jasmine tea was waiting in the fridge for me and they topped it with the sea salt foam right before they handed it over, so that the foam would be nice and fresh. Once they add the foam it starts slowly blending with the tea, so I think it's nice that they make it fresh like that. I ordered 25% sweet tea, and it was just right. Honestly I bet even unsweetened would have been good too. The jasmine tea has a very strong floral taste, more so than other jasmine teas I've had at other places, which I think offsets some of the need for sweetness, and the sea salt foam was actually quite sweet as well. It was sweeter foam than 85C Bakery, which is my other go-to place. I enjoyed my drink and I thought the amount of foam they put on top was great (I like a lot of foam). The coffee/tea shop itself seems pretty nice. Although I didn't stay or order food, they do have a nice seating area where I saw a lot of people on their computers, and they have food items on their menu too.
