Love an independent coffee shop, yessss! As someone who doesn't drink coffee - only tea - I appreciate places that properly brew a cup of tea - and White Sparrow does! I usually will pop into White Sparrow if I'm planning a little stroll around old town Tustin. The inside of White Sparrow is quite small - just a bench and a few tables - with also a few tables outside. If you are a larger group or are planning to hang out for a long time, be mindful that seating space isn't plentiful. 2026: 28/100 read more

The coffee here is very normal to me. It's strong/creamy enough but nothing special about the coffee beans or after taste. I got an almond milk latte with a slight bit of honey. The service was very friendly and fast though. There's some seats inside and outside and also a cute store attached to the cafe that sells little trinkets and some snacks. read more

After 3yrs back Cali, back the store again. Not good as last time, I order the house matcha, drinking actually good. But service lady is not. Did not ask u hot/cold, chatting laughing with others while I'm still ordering.... And they should put price list for menu, customer can see the price. I know one matcha drinking cost$8 once I checked. Last time here read more

This place is the best. The employees, the atmosphere, THE COFFEE! The drinks are always top notch, made quickly, and with a smile. I will continue coming back here whenever I'm in the area because this place knows how to treat customers, make a fine drink, and not overcharge in the process.

It was my first time at White Sparrow Coffee and I had a great experience. The staff recommended I try the Love on the Weekend, which is an iced coffee with honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and espresso. I got the iced version and it was super yummy--the flavors blended really well and it had just the right amount of sweetness. The cafe itself is also super cute and aesthetic. There's a little market-style shop right next door where they sell cute knickknacks, snacks, and drinks, which makes the whole place feel really unique and fun to explore. Overall, it was a great first visit and I'll definitely be coming back to try more drinks! read more

My friend has been raving about this place for a while now and we finally made the trip together so that I could try it! I got the 'Spring Special' Black Sesame Matcha and my friend got a London Fog. We both enjoyed our drinks although I wouldn't say that it was my favorite matcha I've ever had. I would definitely come back to try some of their other matcha options though! Super friendly staff and very cute interior! read more

A charming coffee shop located in Old Town Tustin. Minimalistic interior design with ample seating and moderate level music being played in the background. The staff is nice and fast with their service. I ordered the Hot Vanilla Latte. It was rich, smooth and creamy, the vanilla taste was profound and I love the fancy foam artwork. read more

I was looking for a good quality Matcha place as I was driving through the Tustin area. I came upon this cute little place! Has a cute little vibe, but the Matcha latte was even better! Loved the lavender Matcha! They have several different options that the barista was suggesting so I will definitely go back and try the black sesame Matcha latte! Great service as well! read more

I went there Sunday morning, and there was a long line already. I had to wait about 20 minutes or so to get my order placed. I ordered the Spanish latte, the weekend latte, and the hot chocolate for my daughter. Both the lattes taste very good but if I have to choose one, I will go with the Spanish latte. The ambience of the place is very cute and the staffs are also super friendly. The only recommendation I would give is to offer a larger cup option too. 12 oz cup wasn't enough for me so I had to order a 2nd cup. read more

So good! A bit on the pricey side, but the coffee and baked goods are very excellent. I love the Spanish latte - condensed milk, cinnamon. This time I got a passion fruit curd filled pastry, and it was heaven! I was a total mess eating it, but loved every bite. Their seating is mostly outdoors, and it's always pretty busy so just keep that in mind. Old town Tustin is so cute and fun to stroll around with coffee in hand, so you could always take that approach. The baristas were nice and professional. My coffee came out pretty quickly despite the long line ahead of me! Definitely worth a try if you're a coffee fan! read more

4.5 stars. Friendly staff and simple decor. Yummy vanilla latte, aromatic and strong. There's an attached market selling chic foods and drinks, a nice touch especially for families with kids who don't drink coffee or need a snack. Skip the croissant...it was dry. The indoor table seats are limited and usually occupied but there are plenty of outdoor seats. Street parking only. read more

What a cute coffee shop in Old Town Tustin! Reminds me of why I love the charm of this area so much. We tried the Love on the Weekend, which is a honey, vanilla, cinnamon latte with oat milk. Since it was hot outside, we got it iced. It was really good! Very balanced drink with a kick of cinnamon at the start and the espresso chasing it after. Service was really good. We asked about buying coffee beans and the person helping us out was so thorough with recommendations, it was great! I also appreciate the variety of beans they offer, and of the swag and other goodies they have available as well. I can see why there was a line out the door the whole time we were there! read more

The drinks here are so good! The flavors in their specialty drinks are the perfect amount of subtle, and the roast is so smooth but not too bitter. Small-ish space, but good amount indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of street parking. Cute grocery store on the side too!! read more

Nice staff and there's a cute mart next door. Pumpkin Horchata was pretty tasty and the shot of espresso was perfectly weak so it didn't overpower the horchata nor pumpkin. Similar to coffee candy where the coffee flavor isn't strong. The matcha was very weak though and quite disappointing. Plenty of street parking nearby. read more

Came during valentines so we expected a line! It moved fairly quickly and service was excellent. The team was very positive and nice despite the crowded line! My husband and I loved the coffee! I had the love on the weekend latte with sweet cold foam and he had the shaken not stirred. When I tell you they have a coffee for everyone they really do. We've been to multiple coffee shops where they make the drinks super sweet or overly milky and my husband does not like that. He was very impressed with the shaken not stirred as it fulfilled his iced coffee wishes of not having something overly sweet or overly milky! My kinda drink is a sweeter coffee and some cold foam occasionally! And the love on the weekend was everything! Cold foam did not over power the coffee it had an amazing balance from coffee to sweetness! read more

I finally decided to visit this spot! It wasn't busy this time so my friend and I found a place to sit inside. Seating is a little limited. But there are more spots outside! We both got the everything croissants and tried their seasonal Gingerbread latte. It was gooood. I loved the food, the drinks and the vibes. Plus there was a cute little market connected to the cafe. We found parking down the street near the public parking area and just walked. It's such a lovely area to walk in anyway! read more

I really wanted to love White Sparrow because the branding and the shop itself are so beautiful, but my experience was a bit of a mixed bag. Iced Hojicha Latte To be fair, the quality was good. You can tell they use premium roasted green tea--it had a nice, smoky, toasted flavor and wasn't overly sugary. However, for the high price point, the cup was surprisingly small. I felt like I finished it in just a few sips, which made the "value for money" feel a bit off. The interior is very minimalist and "Instagrammable," but it's definitely not a place to hang out. Seating is extremely limited, so don't expect to find a spot to sit and enjoy your drink or get any work done. It's very much a "grab-and-go" kind of shop. If you're just looking for a cute photo of a coffee cup with a bird logo for your feed, this is the place. The drinks are high-quality, but between the high prices, small portions, and lack of seating, I'm not sure it's worth a regular visit. There is some outdoor seating nearby if the shop is full, but definitely don't come here expecting a cozy cafe experience! read more

White Sparrow was highly recommended by a bunch of folks, so we gave it a try one weekend. It's in a really cute area, but parking was a bit difficult to find since they were setting up for an art festival. The interior of the coffee shop is clean and attached to a cute little storefront. We ordered their yuzu espresso tonic and the shaken not stirred latte. To us, they were just okay. My shaken not stirred latte tasted a bit watered down and was a little too sweet for my liking. My husband thought the espresso tonic just tasted okay, and that he's had better. Overall, super cute shop to hang out it, but their coffee is not for us. read more

This place is such a cute coffee shop that has a little store connected to it, so you can browse while you're waiting for your coffee. The service is so friendly and the drinks are so yummy!! We were able to find parking easily on the street, however it does not look like there's a lot so be mindful when coming on the weekends or during a busy time. I ordered their Matcha -o- jacks which is their fall seasonal drink. It was so yummy! I never had a drink with this combo before and it was delicious. It did have a subtle taste of apple jacks, which was a nice touch. I also got an iced flat brown it was simple and delicious! Would definitely come back again! Matcha-o-jacks: 5/5 so creative and complements well together. Flat Brown: 4/5 simple but delicious. read more

Such a cute spot! Not a lot of space to sit so mostly a takeout spot. Street parking is available but during busy times, it's probably a little tough - the back lot is NOT available for customer parking. I tried the Love on The Weekend drink which they recommend to all first timers. Lovely latte drink with vanilla, cinnamon, and honey. I got a hot one today, perfect for a cool fall day. They have the cutest little market next door with all sorts of stuff - food/pantry items, soaps, flowers etc. Take a look while you wait for your coffee! I regret not getting that cute tote bag already. read more

Such a sweet little cafe in Old Town Tustin! The line is long and the space is small with very limited seating, but the drinks are delicious. We were lucky to grab a table outside, which was in the shade with a nice view of the street and the bookstore across the way. The staff here is also very kind and nice to chat with! I ordered an iced hojicha latte which was nutty and not overpoweringly sweet, and my friend got a drip black coffee which was comforting and rich. We also shared an almond croissant that was a bit expensive at $7, but it was a good size for two people to split. I do wish the croissant was warmed, but it was still very yummy. Overall, the vibe here is nice and very family friendly. I think this is a nice spot to spend a Sunday morning! read more

There was a long line when I arrived and was really excited to try the coffee! The inside and outside is really cute and they have a small little shop that you can buy other beverages and supplements at. The front of the shop where you order your coffee was a bit cramped since multiple people were waiting for their orders. Service was great! Drinks came out pretty fast with the amount of people waiting. Got the seasonal apple drink. It was ok, presentation was nice but the apple flavor was very subtle and it tasted more like spices, cream, but the coffee flavor didn't come through as much as I wanted. The got Hojicha was really good! It was my first time trying it and I enjoyed the roasted flavor and it was creamy. I would definitely get this again. read more

I was in Orange County and decided to stop by White Sparrow Coffee. There was a line when we arrived, but it moved pretty quickly. The shop itself is really nice inside and they sell more than just coffee, including snacks and other drinks. The coffee was good, but it didn't quite make it into my top coffee spots. I ordered an americano and the beans were just okay. We also tried the Spanish latte, which was good, but I asked for it less sweet. Overall, it's a solid place and I wouldn't mind stopping by again if I'm in the area, but it's not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit. read more

Good foot traffic location, cool setup, and an impressive espresso machine, but it feels like they've gotten lazy because of it. Drinks tasted disappointing and felt sloppily mixed, with little sense of creativity or care. The seasonal menu on the wall was outdated, and the staff came across disengaged, like they weren't interested in crafting the menu drinks. Add in the very loud music to keep customers outside and the whole place was a letdown. You're better off at just about any other nearby coffee spot for a better taste and vibe. Lots of potential, but the execution just isn't there. read more

Came here for morning coffee with a friend. Lots of free street parking outside. Ambiance is very peaceful with 3-4 tables inside and a couple outside. There's also a little market attached next door with grab and go bites. Aesthetic vibes and the drinks are good but not too special. I got an iced Americano: it was alright but nothing special. My friend got the seasonal blueberry matcha and she liked but again nothing mind blowing. read more

Decent coffee. Inconsistent service. I get the aesthetic they are trying to achieve, but there isn't much that makes it distinctive.

Small and busy coffee shop, located in downtown Tustin. Came here to try a few drinks; 1. Hojicha- it had a great pronounced matcha flavor without being watered or sugared down, and recommend it. 2. Shaken not stirred- flavorful, but too milky, would have loved more coffee flavor. 3. Cold brew horchata- they ran out of cold brew and substituted espresso, which worked out better, but wouldn't order again. Overall a trendy spot, but wouldn't go out of my way to come back. read more

This is a small cafe that makes excellent coffee in Old Town Tustin. We arrived late afternoon so there were only a few pastries left and I was able to snag the Pistachio Matcha Croissant. There's a long booth against a side wall and other than that it is standing room inside the café. There is one small gender-neutral restroom for customers. Patio and sidewalk seating is also available. We ordered: - Love on the WEEKEND Latte - Rich Vanilla, Earthy Honey and Cinnamon with Espresso and Milk - Yum!! I loved it! Ordered hot with oat milk - HOUSE MATCHA latte - Madagascar Vanilla, Ceremonial Grade Matcha, Oatmilk - Pistachio Matcha Croissant - so good! read more

This place got really busy that we were waiting in the rain because there was no room inside. I got the house matcha and was happy about it being with oat milk. However, did not enjoy the drink. Couldn't taste the matcha and only tasted the oat milk. Was a bit disappointed. Wish it had a bit more matcha. read more

I absolutely love this cafe!! My usuals are love on the weekend and a spanish latte. Both are very good and tasty. I usually get it with almond milk instead of whole. The matcha is also very good, they're matcha powder is quality matcha. During the summer they offer special drinks like a mango matcha or other top hitters. The line has been slightly long depending what time you arrive but they move quick and efficiently. Parking is super easy to find unless you go on a weekend it might be harder since a lot of people will be out and about. I tend to have my coffee outside since they have a couple tables available to sit. I've also always had a great interaction with the workers there, always very friendly and conversational. I've never had the actual pastry's but they seem very yummy and delicious. I would recommend white sparrow to those that haven't had it yet and want to try a yummy coffee spot. Forgot to add that there is a lot to do if you don't want to have the coffee outside like walk around, shop, have some lunch, or even a bookstore across the street. They recently added a next door location to buy some refreshments and small items. 5/5 location for me read more

Stopped by White Sparrow for a morning pick-me-up on my way to the office. It was very busy around 8 AM with a line out the door, but the service was quick and efficient. I tried their seasonal Blueberry Matcha--it was tasty, though a bit sweet and light on the matcha flavor. On another visit, I had their Vanilla Latte. It was decent, but still enjoyable. The café itself is small and charming, with a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Prices are a bit high, but pretty average for coffee shops these days. I'd come back for the convenience and overall good drinks. read more

White Sparrow Coffee is still hands down my favorite place to grab a drink when I'm in the area. Was super excited to try their seasonal Blueberry Matcha and it did not miss ... Absolutely delicious matcha with blueberry puree and freeze dried blueberries scattered on the sweet cream top. I would have never expected this combination to be so good, it's too good.
