    Strawberry matcha
    Carolina R.

    I'm so sad to be writing this review because I came here a few months ago and got their banana matcha and loved it, it was one of the best I've had but the strawberry matcha was just not it. I got their strawberry matcha, 50% sweet which is what I did for the banana. When I got it, I can tell right away there was barely any strawberry puree. I tasted it and yep, it was not good at all. No strawberry flavor whatsoever! I should have turned to ask for more, but this drink was just so disappointing. I really loved this place but not sure I will be back. Hopefully I can add strawberry at home and make it better.

    iced vanilla (?) latte
    Timmy S.

    This tea/coffee place is hidden away, on the second floor above a car wash. I passed by the entrance twice while driving along Marguerite Parkway but found an easier (and more obvious) entrance directly to the lot on the second floor if you travel up Avery Parkway. When I walked in mid-morning on a weekday, I was surprised to see it packed...oddly, all young women, most laptoppping away. I was the oldest person there by decades. I soon realized this shop is right across the street from Saddleback College. One orders at a kiosk and your name is called a few minutes later. I chose an iced vanilla latte. None of the muffins offered interested me so I just went with the latte and took it to-go. There was zero interaction with staff; one shouted my name when my order was ready but that's it. The iced latte was darn good, not overly iced, with a strong coffee. It was sweet with caramel flavor. I didn't taste any vanilla so wondered if they got my order wrong and made a caramel latte. I feel certain I hit "vanilla" on the kiosk but it's entirely plausible I touched "caramel". Regardless, I still liked it.

    Banana matcha and Einspanner Matcha Latte
    Kat S.

    We ordered the banana matcha and Einspanner matcha latte both are good, it's not too sweet for us. Just the right amount of matcha not overpowering. I love that you can order from their kiosk too. Service is fast, and there are a lot of tables both inside and outside. Will come back to try other items on the menu!

    Original (OG) Matcha Latte and strawberry hojicha
    Vivian P.

    Love this location as it's convenient and quick. Ample parking upstairs right by the store. It also has plenty of seating indoor and outdoor (plus umbrellas!). I prefer their hojichas to their matchas but i've heard good things about their melona matcha so that's next on my list.

    Amazing little coffee shop tucked away in Mission Viejo. It's kind of hidden next to the Hampton Inn and a car wash, located upstairs in the lot. It took us awhile to find the coffee shop, and it was pretty empty when we arrived. The actual spot is cozy, with just a few tables around. We ordered a few items and chilled for a bit. I tried these: Einspanner Matcha Latte - Amazing! I got this with banana cream foam since the worker said it was her favorite, and it did not disappoint! (5/5) Hojicha Fruit Latte - We got this with strawberry, and it was amazing. Great balance and so refreshing. (5/5) Ube Mochi Brownie - They warmed this up for us, and it was so good. Would easily get this again. (5/5) Definitely a hidden gem that not many people know about since it's kind of tucked away. Really good drinks and lots of unique options. A must try!

    Cold Brew
    Denise B.

    I recently went to get my car washed and while I was waiting I wandered into Vivot because I love coffee. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was this place was packed. I was really excited because if you have this many people in your shop it must be good. The downside, you order on a kiosk. In going through the menu this cafe is more of a matcha/ tea cafe than coffee. I ordered the cold brew with Vanilla Cream cloud. The drink was just ok. The only time that I had any interaction with the employee was when they called my number to pick up my drink. Ambiance 3/5 Drink 3/5 Service 3/3

    Matcha Einspanner
    Thy T.

    Drink: I ordered the Matcha Einspänner Latte, which was pretty affordable at $7.95. The matcha had a strong, smooth flavor and was overall a solid drink. Their matchas aren't overly sweet, even at 100% sweetness, but they do offer to adjust it if you prefer. Parking: It was a little confusing to find the store since it's surrounded by car wash and hotel parking. I believe you can park in front of the hotel. There are stairs that lead up to the second floor, where the shop is located. Ambience: I actually like the vibe here. It's quite crowded though, but they have a lot of seatings and outlets so you can work at.

    Banana Fruit Hojicha Latte
    LoLinda G.

    Yay! They opened another location!! As someone who doesn't drink caffeine, it's hard to find good drink spots, but this place has some good caffeine free options. I decided on a hojicha (low caffeine). I noticed it said "fruit hojicha" and got excited lol. They had mango, strawberry, banana, etc. I chose banana because I've never had that flavor before. It was amazing! Gotta get mango next time!

    I am soo happy that they opened a vivot closer to me! I found out about vivot during a yelp event 2 years ago and when I moved to South OC there wasn't alot of business I recognize so it was really nice to see a vivot close to me! The quality is just the same which is perfect, the location is great, and the service is also so nice! My husband and I ordered the ube matcha and the pandan matcha and both were sooo good please don't tell me to only pick one haha Vivot closes at 11pm which is a plus because not alot of place are open this late!

    Chix caprese sando
    Michelle S.

    One of our fave local matcha spots in South County! We were lucky enough to come to their grand opening and have loved their drinks ever since. I love that they offer SOY MILK which is my preferred milk and I alternate between the Ube matcha and the Pandan matcha. My daughters like the OG matcha and the strawberry matcha. They only have one size but you can vary the sugar level and the ice level and they have a variety of toppings you can choose from for extra cost. They do not charge extra for so I know which I appreciate. They have some really delicious looking pastries as well as a few sandwich options. The chicken caprese sandol is a huge. Less than $12, very tasty but very messy to eat! Full of pesto, balsamic drizzle, fresh greens, fresh mozzarella and a generous portion of chicken on a big ciabatta roll cut in half. I could only eat half of it this time and it'll take the other half home!

    Still solid matcha, especially in South OC. I appreciated their anniversary promotion this month, though it could've been more consistent. For example, the sign on the door said all muffins were at a promotional price. So, at the register, we asked for the strawberry matcha and the staff member let us know it wasn't part of the deals. That was a letdown.

    Iced OG Matcha
    Madeline B.

    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.

    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!

    I stopped here for a midday pick-me-up on a hot summer day. Although this shop has coffee in its…read morename, it actually has quite a variety of matcha and tea based drinks too! 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.

    To be honest, I was disappointed with my drinks. I had been seeing this place online and was…read moreexcited to try it, but the matcha tasted diluted and watered down. My friends also mentioned that the quality of the drinks has gone down since their last visit. The drinks were not cheap either, which made the experience even more disappointing. Would I go back? Hmm... probably not for a while. The place itself is nice and aesthetically pleasing, and they offer a variety of coffee drinks as well. The staff were friendly, and our drinks came out quickly.
