    Vanilla Latte/Matcha Green Tea
    Evan K.

    Been attending CSUF for 4 years now and never tried this place. My goal is to finish classes and go home but my GF bought me coffee so I can stay on campus longer... it worked! The shop is a little hut located between the Humanities building and Gordon Hall. I liked the matcha green tea because the flavor wasn't overpowering and tasted more sugary. The Vanilla Latte was great and honestly a top latte that I've had. Bagel was burn't but still good. Recommend both drink! Tips: theres tables all around and line can be long, just depends if it's passing period or not!

    I visited Aloha Java for the first time this morning and had a pleasant experience. I've been working at CSUF for a couple years now and I still never got a chance to stop by until today! There was two people in line. One girl had a longer transaction but it was maybe because she had to get gift cards. My coworker and I ordered and I decided to get a hot small matcha green tea which came out to be $4.00. I thought the small is a little too small (LOL) but this drink and others were pretty reasonably priced. Our drinks were prepared rather quickly and you pick up in the back. My matcha green tea was just alright haha. It was rather sweet. I had ordered with light whipped cream but my drink didn't taste like quality fresh, matcha but more like a generic powder. It also tasted very vanilla, which I've grown to not enjoy as much. Overall the drink was okay, I think I'll definitely try to stick with the coffees next since they seem to have a great selection! Note: There is a 4% Customer Service Charge applied to all Credit Card transactions so my drink was $4 flat when I paid in cash. Overall, my experience for the drink was more of a 3-3.5ish star, rounded up to 4 for the nice staffers/customer service. I'd come back but maybe not get the matcha and get a coffee instead.

    You want your coffee hot, Aloha Java offers the freshest, most piping hot coffee on campus! Centrally located on the campus of California State University, Fullerton between the Humanities building and University Hall, this tiny café hut is open for business during the summer months and intercession, making them a popular spot for faculty and staff. Aloha Java is the only campus eatery where you can get a toasted bagel with cream cheese. In addition to bagels, they have a good variety of croissants and breakfast muffins. Their beverage menu includes the standard selection of lattés, frappés, teas and Italian sodas one would expect to find at larger indoor seating cafés. Service is fast, efficient and friendly. Note: there is no longer a $0.75 surcharge for using your debit or credit card for purchases under $3. Open Mon-Thurs: 6:30am to 7pm, Fri: 6:30am to 1pm.

    It is conveniently located next to the humanities building. several visits and never a problem!! Its reasonable as far as pricing goes so i think ill try to get something new every time i visit. Everything that i have tasted is great and fresh. Even when theres a line I will wait because they got the line down to a science. It moves real quick and a short wait time on the opposite side of where you order. I have tried several of the hot teas, cold iced teas, and flavored coffees.

    I have been going to this place for the past 5 years and they just know what I always want. Everyone who works there is super nice and friendly, especially CONNIE!!! Great conversations and great drinks and great pasteries and great customer service and great place to sit since it's around a lot trees. It's nice and cool to sit outside where you can read and do your work!

    Reasonably good coffee at a great price. Line is not that long. Coffee comes out quickly. Nice place to get a cup of joe and walk around campus

    I'm going to get a pastry! #TreatYoSelf #Finals... but what's this sketchy paper wrapping

    The food was very good. The service not very much. Maybe because they have opened recently. Also the interior is kinda dull.

They have a lot of cold signature coffee drinks. The music was bumping (I enjoyed hearing Telegraph - Childish Gambino). The ambience was modern, trendy and cool. The drinks were delicious with unique flavor options. They were aesthetically pleasing as well. The server was really nice. The ube dessert tasted like it had real pieces of taro inside. It was tasty and not overly sweet. They had other yummy pastry options too in their small display cabinet/bread drawer thing. The bad: The server didn't announce to us that the order was ready when 3 of the 4 items were ready but perhaps she was waiting for the entire order to be ready together. The interesting: They had super cute hand-drawn dog paintings on the windows.

After a short conversation with the barista, our drinks were made exactly how we like it . There are not very many food items available. I always like to split a little treat with my husband but there was only butter crossants available. The cafe has a small amount of seating and is cute, clean and simple. Prices are similar to other cafes. Parking can be hard during some hours I'm sure but it's definitely worth the visit.

    Rating: 5/5 Stars…read more Overview Easily my favorite small coffee shop in the Brea area. Whether you need a strong cup of coffee to start the day or a perfectly made matcha, this spot absolutely delivers on both drink quality and an exceptional community feel. The Good The coffee here is strong but not too acidic, making it perfect for any day of the week. Their matcha is also fantastic; the bitterness is completely whisked out, and the full flavor is there whether you get pure leaf or a mixed drink (even if they don't make the microfoam right in front of you, or maybe I just never noticed!). The absolute best part, though, is their top-tier customer service. The Bad Honestly, I have nothing bad to say about this place! If I had to nitpick, I guess I haven't noticed them making the matcha microfoam right in front of me, but considering how perfect the drinks come out, it doesn't even matter. Personal Thoughts/Experience My wife goes all the time, usually picking it up after her morning workout, but I only drop in once in a blue moon. However, the one time I went in alone and completely blanked on my wife's drink, the staff knew exactly who I was and actually noticed when I made a mistake on her usual order. They fixed it for me and literally saved me an argument when I got home whoops. You just can't beat that kind of personalized, lifesaver service!

I got a matcha latte with coconut milk and it was the perfect shade of green. The matcha was strong and super earthy. Just a heads up that it comes unsweetened.

I also appreciate that they employ individuals with disabilities, that's something I genuinely respect. The only issue was the communication and consistency among staff. I ordered the Harmony Hummus, steak burrito, and a hot lavender honey latte to go. The coffee came out quickly and was about a 7/10. After waiting another 20 minutes for the food with no update, I asked about it and was told the food takes longer because it's made "fresh." What confused me was another customer who ordered after me received his food first. There was also confusion when I asked if the steak burrito could be modified without tater tots. One employee said yes, another said no because it was "premade." So it left me wondering , is the food made fresh or premade, and can modifications be made or not? The food itself was honestly great: * Steak burrito: 9/10 * Harmony Hummus: 9/10 I'd definitely come back because the atmosphere and food were good, but I think the staff just needs to be more on the same page. Customer service wasn't bad, just not the most welcoming overall , although one employee was genuinely friendly and stood out.
