    Airoma Cafe had me thinking they were handing out free gold bars with that line! It looked like 40 billion people were waiting to order and another 25 billion were waiting for drinks. I almost bailed, but hubby convinced me to stay, and I'm so glad he did. Their line moves WAY better than Molly Tea, and my ceremonial-grade matcha latte was ready in about 10 minutes. One look at that deep, vibrant green color and I knew it was about to slap!!! Rich, earthy, bold, nutty... this is the kind of authentic ceremonial-grade matcha that makes your wallet feel fancy. Friendly service, worth every minute, and now I totally understand why the line just kept getting longer! Perfect for matcha lovers chasing that bougie, elite-level green goodness!!! One of the best I've had in a while!!!

    Matcha Ube

    I got the Matcha Ube from here and it was good, but it felt like something was missing. I feel like the Matcha and Ube flavors could've been stronger. However, the drink itself wasn't too milky, but almost too milky. I came here for my birthday for a free drink (only redeemable on your actual birthday with a valid ID). I went on a Friday afternoon and there was still a long line! However, from waiting in line to picking up my order, I only had to wait around 20ish minutes. There's ample free parking around the coffee shop. I would try the other Matcha drink flavors again, but I feel like they do better with their cream-based drinks.

    Really enjoyed Airoma Cafe! The matcha drinks are delicious, and I especially appreciated the helpful signs that explain the best way to enjoy your drink -- such a thoughtful touch. There's usually a pretty long line, but the staff is always friendly and the drinks come out within a reasonable amount of time. There's seating inside, and free parking is available in the shared lot, which is a big plus. They also have a bathroom in the back that requires a code. Overall, a great spot for matcha and definitely worth checking out!

    Crazy busy!! The menu is a good size with good options. The line can wrap around outside. I think it's the best matcha I've had in a while even though there's tons of other places in Orange County/costa mesa. Regardless of how busy, the drinks came out very fast. We went 2 times. First time I got the blueberry matcha. The flavor was amazing!!! Not too sweet nor artificial tasting. The matcha was strong but not too strong. Good quality for sure. We also got matcha pandan. That flavor was amazing with the matcha. Recommend both! SECOND time we went I got the strawberry and ube matcha. Again, 10/10. I truly think everyone should try and I have a feeling everyone will love it the inside too has lots of seating and benches comfy for studying or chatting. Clean inside as well and just overall spacious.

    A solid matcha spot that ranks in my top 10!! Despite their popularity, they're pretty quick at getting orders out. This is one of their many locations but I do prefer this particular one for working. The crowds have died down since they first opened so plenty of seating & parking available. Just make sure to bring a jacket as they can blast their AC. Their pandan matcha is still my absolute favorite!! PRO TIP: get an extra shot of matcha for FREE ;-)

    First time trying out Airoma & it was so good! Def worth the hype. I ordered a matcha einspanner. Their matcha gives a rich, earthy, bold taste .. but still sweet. Soo good. The shop is a pretty decent size. Went today on a Wednesday around 1430 and all seats were taken. Service was quick though! We were pretty much in & out.

    Matcha einspanner is very delicious. Get it!! That is all I have to say. The line is long (out the door) but it goes fast. Worth the wait for sure. Once you order, drinks come out fast. Egg coffee also good.

    Double matcha and pandan matcha

    There is a reason why Airoma is so popular-- good quality, reliable drinks. I've been going to Airoma back when they had their old OG location in Garden Grove w/ seating before Tiktok blew it up (RIP) and I haven't noticed any differences in taste, which is good. I'm happy that this location is more spacious and suitable for studying, as they have tables with outlets and stable wifi. Service is standard My favorites are the Double Matcha (love the cream top) and Matcha Einspanner. I enjoy strong matcha, so I loved the bitterness - you can really taste the matcha. I also appreciate that Airoma's cup sizes are larger than that of the ktown/LA ones. Love coming here and line moves fast!

    AIROMA CAFE | Visited 6/28/26 - Pandan Coffee 6.25 This was the best drink I have had here. The first time I had pandan matcha which was great but the pandan overpowered the matcha. This drink the flavors complement each other nicely and was refreshing! If you want a vietnamese coffee with a twist but want something lighter than egg coffee, this is the one. - Matcha Einspanner 7.50 This was great, no notes I would say this is a standard einspanner so no need to drive to LA for rok, damo, or even memorylook. My boyfriend appreciated that you get a lot more drink for your dollar here than ktown! Don't be discouraged by the long line it went by really fast. I would say once you order your drink is ready in like 10 minutes. If you want to study here, be prepared to linger for a table to open up. I didnt see a lot of outlets and I will say it was pretty loud (headphones are a must).

    First time trying this coffee shop while we were in Los Angeles for the weekend, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The line was out the door, which is always a good sign! They offer both coffee and matcha, which is a huge plus. I ordered the pandan coffee, and it was very smooth and not overly sweet. Next time, I'll probably ask for it a little stronger since I enjoy a bolder coffee flavor. Overall, it's a great coffee spot with plenty of seating inside to relax and hang out.

    HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE BEST MATCHA PLACES! Free large parking lot, lots of seating, and great options to choose from. The drinks were delicious, the service was great, and it was a great vibe. A lot of people were working from here or just here to hangout with friends. I will definitely be back a lot to get more drinks from here! HIGHLY recommend!

    Oh My!! No ice but look at the Matcha color!! 10/10!!!!
    Nana S.

    This location is really spacious with plenty of tables and chairs. We came around 8:30 AM and the line was already almost out the door! It was pretty long, but it only took about 10 minutes to place our order. Now onto the drinks! I really enjoyed both the pandan matcha and blueberry matcha. You can actually taste the pandan and blueberry flavors in each drink without completely overpowering the matcha. I was a little sad to see that the prices went up by 50 cents, but I do appreciate that the drinks are pretty large for the price, probably around 20-24 oz. Overall, the drinks were delicious and a good size!

    This place always has a line so I had to check it out! I must say I am a fan of their matcha! I like how they offer different matcha drinks to choose from. I've only had one so far but will be back to try others to find my favorite! The interior is clean and airy. The service is pretty quick given the amount of drinks they pump out! Very impressive!

Ya boy has been around the block for a hot minute so I've been to my fair share of coffee shops. If anyone dares speak any slander on this fine establishment, I am ready to defend its honor. I have legit gone here for the past couple months religiously. I have tried every single drink on the menu that is not matcha. I have never had a drink that I would consider anything below a 9/10. You really can't go wrong with any of the drinks here because they will happily remake your drink if it's not one that's perfect. Second, the service here is second to none. The entire staff is so friendly and professional. Special shoutout to the great sensei Vicky. She always makes sure we feel welcome and taken care of. Not even exaggerating, I usually get two coffees here. I get one, go to Costco, then come back for another. Real talk. No bs. anyways. go getyaself one.

Their Coconut Coffee is one of their blended creation that uses Phin Smith's signature District 1 Blend which has a dark, bold, and intense coffee flavor with nutty undertones. The drink has a rich coconut crema which makes it silky and smooth flavour. Since it's a blend, the coconut pairs well with the strong bold coffee flavor. It's a bit sweeter which is what I like. It makes for a refreshing drink on those hot summer days. Service moves along well. You order your drink and once you've received your drink, you pay at the cash and then you can head out with beverage. I love how content all the staff are and there's many of them to make sure you get your drink in a timely manner. It's a must visit if you're in garden grove and craving for Vietnamese coffee. I also highly recommend the Phin Freeze and the Javacado!

They are located in the same plaza as Brodard, Vox Kitchen, Rol Handbar, etc. in Fountain Valley. This location is open later than the other Airoma. They use ceremonial matcha which makes a huge difference. I ordered the strawberry matcha latte (74% sweet) after trying one previously in LA. I paid and waited for my order to be ready. After a few minutes, I received my order. I shook it up and tried it. Delicious! Even better than I remembered. My husband who doesn't usually enjoy matcha, tried it and liked it. He does not dig the earthy taste, but this drink changed his perspective. Airoma made my husband a believer in matcha. We do not usually go out too often for matcha, but when I'm in the mood next, this place will be a must visit. I'll have to try their egg coffee in the future too.

It does get pretty crowded so it's better to get an early head start if you can, especially on the weekends. In terms of their drinks, my favorite is the blueberry lavender matcha latte. It's on the sweeter side and has a floral aftertaste, but the flavors mix really well together. I typically get their matcha drinks or teas because I'm not a fan of coffee, but my friends that are coffee fiends are fans of the various coffee drinks here. Compared to other cafes, I feel like the cost of the drinks is standard, but the prepared food and pastries are on the steeper side. Still a great spot, I enjoy coming for the atmosphere and biscuits!

Located next to AR market, it is a large interior with lots of lighting due to glass walls for half the store. I was a bit weary of da vien considering I couldn't sleep after trying their egg coffee at their bolsa location (I know Vietnamese coffee is famous for their caffeine that sneaks up on you due to the sweetness of their coffee (being Vietnamese myself) but not at this level). However, the manager or owner of the bolsa location did reach out to me to make it right after my critique. Going here is a night and day experience! Let me tell you of the tastiest coffee that rivals Starbucks... and I still got ample sleep! I got their marble drip coffee. I ordered mine with "50% sweetness and less caffeine."

Their customer service here is nice and polite at the counter but that's pretty much it. They have a touch screen kiosk to also order on the side. When I came, there were 4 people ahead of me but the wait time wasn't that long thanks to the above things. I would definitely come here again.

They've been consistently amazing ever since they opened, and somehow they've only gotten better over time. I honestly enjoy just about every drink on their menu, especially their seasonal specials. My all-time favorite has to be their 2026 Spring Earl Grey Matcha. I was getting it almost every week, and I was genuinely sad when they switched over to their summer menu. Thankfully, they kept the Mango Sticky Rice Matcha, because wow... what a flavor explosion. It's easily one of the best matcha drinks I've ever had, and my friend and I keep coming back just for it. I know it sounds a little adventurous, because it did to me, but when I tried it, it genuinely changed my life (kidding). If mango isn't your thing, I highly recommend either the Double Matcha or the Banana Matcha. The Double Matcha is perfect if you love a strong matcha flavor; you can really taste the quality of the matcha they use. As for the Banana Matcha, I normally don't gravitate toward banana drinks, but SIP completely changed my mind. They use what tastes like a banana pudding instead of artificial banana flavoring, and it blends so smoothly with the matcha that every sip feels balanced and indulgent. The café itself is just as charming as the drinks. The wood paneling gives the space a cozy, retro vibe that makes you want to stay a while, and the staff is always incredibly friendly, patient, and welcoming.
