Yummy coffee! This coffee shop replaced the delicious cookie shop Chip sadly but they're proving worthy one cup at a time. The inside is beautiful and tranquil plus parking is ample and free. I ordered a hot Vietnamese coffee which is one of their specialty drinks and it was so good and the best Vietnamese coffee I've ever had. Service was quick and the cost is comparable to local competitors nearby.

NEW CAFE!!! Such a beautiful little coffee shop! Not much seating. There's 2 couches and some chairs (no tables) More of a grab and go. Angel, the barista, was an angel. She recommended anything with a star on the menu! I love trying new banana coffee's but I ONLY want fresh bananas. Angel said they use the banana syrup here so I knew I wasn't going to like it so I didn't get it. We got the Vietnamese House Coffee and the Amai signature. Both drinks were so delicious with bold flavors. The Vietnamese coffee has a sea salt cream top which is such a nice compliment to the strong coffee. The amai signature was also really good. Good classic latte. Both drinks were not too sweet. Definitely will have to come back and try the matcha!!

Amazing coffee spot offering a wide range of drinks. Love the matcha selection, the early grey matcha was phenomenal you can truly taste the quality of ceremonial grade without the flavor of the early grey overpowering it, and love the fact they are one of the few around that have Vietnamese coffee that will be my next try! The staff is very kind and the place is fresh with a modern aesthetic, not a place to study but 100% worth the stop on in Matcha is ethically sourced so we love that :')

Best barista ladies in HB! Hi Abby & Angel! Stay sweet!

Everything Cream Cheese was soooo good and savory! Shout-out to Abby & Angel! It was perfect warmed up too! Also ordered Amari ice coffee for my hubby and Turon Banana Hot Coffee was different and so tasty. Clean atmosphere being a couple weeks opened. Bookmark this folks! Don't wait! C u again ladies with Amai (means sweet in Japanese)!!

I thought the matcha here was decent. It wasn't the best matcha I've ever had, but it definitely got the job done! They don't have restrooms in the shop itself but there is a grocery store nearby that does. Parking is pretty simple as there's a big lot w/ several spots to pick from.

Matcha Einspanner 8/10 - I like the simple ingredients and it's very enjoyable. It's not too sweet or bitter.

Amai signature, Vietnamese house coffee, matcha eispanner, and Earl grey with koatji next to pastries case

The doctor that we would be visiting drinks black coffee with MCT oil and cream so I thought that he would be able to appreciate the amai signature. Daughter and I got up early to get the drinks before the physical therapy appointment. We were there at shop open of 8:00 AM, but already there were 2 parties in front of us. We got the Vietnamese House Coffee for the front office staff member and the matcha einspanner for the lead physical therapy aide. We have gotten the passion fruit kouign-amman twice and think it's pretty good. We recommended it to a new city resident who says that he will be returning. Drinks were nicely labeled with messages such as "Thanks for stopping by", "Have a great day", and "You rock" written on the lids. Drinks were appreciated by the people they were intended for.

This place is great! You can definitely taste the quality in the drink. The first drink I ordered was a Matcha latte, and the Matcha has a strong flavor with a good balance of sweetness the proportion they use for the milk is good too because I hate it when the Matcha drink is too creamy or too watered down. the Vietnamese Coffee was also good, but it does lean on the bitter side compared to some other competitors. I prefer that it leans a little bitter, but my husband prefers that it leans into sweet creamy. So it will ultimately depend on your taste buds but I think it is great quality tea and coffee! They must have just opened because it seems like they are still decorating but it's a nice clean and airy space and the sofas are comfy. The staff are very friendly too! Definitely worth trying if you are in the area.

The Vietnamese coffee is delicious! The barista is great. I always go to Amai whenever I'm in the area.

I first heard about this place from some friends on IG so when they opened up this location in Huntington Beach I had to try it! Amai is such an aesthetically pleasing coffee shop. The staff was very nice and welcoming. First visit I tried the coconut matcha cloud without the foam and it was so refreshing! Second visit I tried the house matcha and it was perfect! I'm so happy they opened this location here in Huntington Beach. There's so many different things to try! I will be coming here very often and I can't wait to try their wide variety of matcha and coffees!

Cute small location just big enough for about 15 people. came on a hot day and there was no ac in there so it was burning up. Ordered two drinks and they were really yummy took about 20 minutes or so. loved the mango sticky matcha the mango flavor really came through! Would love the matcha a little bit stronger though :) The girl that took my order was really nice she was a one woman show and it got kindve busy so I hope u guys implement some ac for her

Love the little messages and the color of the matcha was perfection

I was looking for a pick me up in HB and wasn't having a great morning. I came across this new Cafe! I love trying new cafes that open nearby where I live! First of all the atmosphere of the Cafe was very warm and welcoming. I loved the layout. Second there menu had a wide variety of matcha combinations (which I loved) in addition to a variety of teas and coffees. I ordered the sticky mango matcha with oatmilk instead of the default whole milk, it brightened my day. I was worried their would be too much coconut flavor overpowering everything. However it was exactly as I anticipated, it was perfect. I hope they never change the menu! I hope they continue thriving and I'll definitely be coming back a lot to this Cafe!

Had Banana Cream Matcha and Mango Sticky Rice Matcha. I loved the latter! There are many choices of drinks and pastries. The inside is small, but very cute. Excellent service as well. Would come back anytime.

First time Came around 2:30pm Sunday they were sold out of coconut water for the coconut cloud :( which is what I wanted to try Early grey matcha - 8.9/10 I really like this drink but honestly I can't taste the earl grey very much but it's still yummy and I would get it again. We asked for coconut blended matcha (not on menu) and it was good! Service is very good cause they let us have our special request and she asked if we wanted it sweeter and adjusted to our liking. Coconut flavor is strong, texture is thick and good. 8.5/10 Overall solid valid matcha and good service Next time I'd like to try the mango sticky match and coconut water matcha if they have! read more

I am truly gutted that I don't live closer because this might have been the best iced coffee I've ever had. Anytime I'm in the area, I'll be making a stop here. The signature coffee was immaculate, breathtaking, truly exceptional. I savored every sip. The employees were incredibly kind, made my coffee quickly, and made sure I was getting a drink I'd love.

I'm genuinely convinced this is intentional, It reminds me of a simpler time like going over to a friend's place and hanging out in their living room. I had a matcha affogato and my partner had an immortality tea. Both delicious and served with a genuine smile. Definitely a different experience and I'm grateful for it. 5/5 this place is based.

7/10 Chrysanthemum Milk Tea - I didn't like this drink at all. My friend ordered two of these and…read moreone of the lids was literally ripped. The employee knew it too. She actually said, "Oh sorry, the lid isn't closed all the way. I tried to seal it twice but it wasn't working. I hope that's okay." It's definitely not okay when we have no other choice in the matter! Aside from the messy packaging, the drink was way too bitter. I really wasn't a fan. 1/10 Vibes - I want to touch on what the inside of the business looks like because... wow, it was jarring. It felt like I walked into some dude's basement. Mismatched curtains everywhere, 2 fish tanks that were straight up brown and green and looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a yr, and sus couches just scattered around for no reason. There were cat treats sitting out too which was confusing because apparently there's a cat there?? There were like, 12 dudes sitting there and all watching whatever anima thing was playing on the tv. Absolutely not my vibe at all, but clearly it's catering to a very specific demographic. Cost - $7.65

4 stars for the drinks and 1 star for the Karate Chicken…read more I've always been a big fan of Tastea drinks. Most of the black tea and milk tea drinks have been good over the years. I should just stick to those rather than the food. The popcorn (Karate) chicken was disappointing. They were dry and tasted old and stale. Not even the sweet chili sauce helped. I don't even know why I ordered it (guess I must've gotten hit with sudden hunger) because I immediately had buyers remorse upon first bite. Do not recommend.

I placed my order online for pickup, and it was ready in about 10 minutes, which was super convenient. The drinks were a mixed experience. My Matcha Oreo Crème Brûlée was absolutely delicious, rich, creamy, and easily my favorite. My mom loved her Peach Green Tea too; it was refreshing and had just the right amount of sweetness. Unfortunately, my husband's Cookie Butter Coffee was a disappointment. We ordered it at full sweetness, but it wasn't sweet at all. Instead, it tasted overwhelmingly bitter, and we couldn't taste the cookie butter flavor whatsoever. After trying it myself, I had to agree. Overall, the quick service and most of the drinks were great, but the Cookie Butter Coffee definitely missed the mark. I'd come back for the matcha and fruit teas, but I'd probably skip the coffee next time.

Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea: Pretty simple, but it was made well. I liked that it wasn't overly sweet and the flavors felt balanced. Service: Pretty efficient, sweet, and helpful! Ambiance: Clean, small space with a very casual vibe. You can sit inside or outside, and the windows let in a lot of natural light, making the place feel bright and inviting.

Review Update: I…read morestill stand by my original opinion that the ice cream is delicious. However, I wanted to update my review to reflect my full experience, as my initial 5-star review was written under a bit of pressure. At the register, there's a sign offering a free scoop in exchange for leaving a Yelp review. You're asked to show the cashier your review before receiving the free scoop. What they don't tell you upfront is that you also have to make a purchase to redeem the free scoop. Another thing I noticed is that our ice cream melted noticeably faster than expected. I'm not sure if it's due to the ingredients or something else, but it was something we both experienced. That said, I still recommend giving this place a try if you're in the area. They offer a wide variety of flavors, and you do get one free sample per person before deciding. Just keep in mind that the Yelp ratings may be influenced by the free-scoop promotion, the prices are a bit on the higher side because of the location, and the ice cream may melt faster than you're used to. Thanks again for your help, Nate!

Too greasy, weird aftertastes, terrible terrible heartburn and upset stomach after... And with these, I didn't experience any of that(a little burpy after, but I mean, it's donuts... LOL) We only tried 3 different donuts, but they were all so bomb. The churro donut was my favorite. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside just like a real churro, but didn't get soggy. The Nutella Malasada was full of Nutella and it was actually my first time trying a malasada... bomb! The cookies and creme mochi was a nice surprise too.

Churro was super hard and stale, salted caramel literally tasted like nothing, blueberry tasted like sweet artificial fruit, carrot cake with cream cheese frosting was the best one.

The vibe is cozy and welcoming, with a steady buzz of customers that shows just how popular this spot is.

I went with the iced Americano topped with banana cold foam, and wow, it was a game changer! The banana foam was creamy, flavorful, and not overly sweet, pairing beautifully with the bold espresso. Both drinks were prepared and refreshed us instantly. The only minor downside is parking, which can be a bit tricky, but the location is clearly thriving with tons of foot traffic and business out front, so it's totally understandable. Once you're inside, the excellent drinks and friendly service more than make up for it.

I got a mango sticky matcha, hot chai latte, and a croissant and it was so good!! everything was made fast and the workers so nice. i'm so picky on chais because most places put so much milk and you can barely taste the chai spice, but the workers at amai madenut super flavorful. The matcha was amazing, nice and sweet and the matcha is such good quality! i defiantly recommend. the croissant tasted as good as the ones i've had in france, buttery and flakey and fluffy; love it. they have small side tables you can rather put your food/drinks on or your computer if you want to study thee. the couch is super comfortable too i gotta say. definetely gonna be one of my go to cafes!!:) read more

** A new favorite spot!** I finally checked this place out and I'm so glad I did. The absolute star of the show was the Banana Cream Matcha. I would easily give it a 5/5--the flavor combo is amazing, perfectly balanced, and the cream texture is spot on. If you love matcha or just want to try something unique, you have to get this. I also tried their Amai house coffee, which was solid and smooth. If you like korean style coffee Einspanner, this drink is similar. A really good, dependable cup of coffee, though the matcha definitely stole the spotlight for me (giving the coffee a strong 4/5). The vibes are great, and I'll definitely be back to grab that matcha cream drink again! read more

Upon coming in you can smell their pastries and the whole cafe itself was very peaceful. Although peaceful there aren't enough seats and tables if you wanted to come here to study. The workers were really kind and fast when it came to my order. I ordered a matcha latte and earl grey matcha. The matcha latte was very creamy and smooth, you can clearly taste the matcha. As for the earl grey matcha, coming from someone who doesn't like earl grey matchas, this one was perfect. The earl grey doesn't overpower the whole drink and still allow for you to taste the matcha. I definitely enjoyed this place and will come again! read more

This place somewhat recently opened up and it was very good. Their matcha in my opinion was pretty solid with no grassy taste. The matcha is very light but really good with their cream top. Service was very good with everyone being super nice. They were very patient and helped me with some of their menu options. The place itself was very nice and cozy. There is seating too and I would definitely go here to study as the aroma is very pleasing. read more

So happy Amai opened in Huntington Beach. Their other 3 locations are awesome & this one aesthetically is actually their nicest one on the eyes to me. They're drinks are so consistent between locations probably cause they measure everything out a with a scale and have à la marzocco pulling shots. If you're in the area deftly recommend stopping by and sipping a matcha from here on the beach. read more
