Pretty Delicious! I came here 4x prior, on my 5th, I've decided to write a review…read more One of my favorite hojicha spots and they do their fruit pairings with matcha well. It doesn't taste jammy and has a fragrant aftertaste. The line can get a bit long but I don't mind too much. The service is always polite and efficient. No complaints! Everyone is nice and they offer adjustments if you need it after ordering. I hope they continue to do well! ^-^

This is a local hidden gem in Tustin in a random strip mall. Parking is abit hit and miss since its…read morea small lot but usually you'll find something just circling around. There seems to always be a line here so be aware! We got there after lunch around 1pm and the line was about 10-15minutes reaching two doors down. They explicitly have a caution line on the sidewalk telling people NOT to block next door businesses doorways! The menu is straightforward and seems to update since we came before. The HOT item that always sells out daily is the sea salt bread. They will sell out within a few hours of opening so its only a morning item! Also note this place is cashless so card only! Our favorite items here are the: Banana Matcha: This is there matcha latte with oat milk and banana cream on top with fresh sliced bananas and toffee bits. Yes definitely get it less sweet for the perfect ratio! Its like a banana toffee flavor with that rich matcha on the bottom so good in this summer heat! Black Sesame match: this is my usual go to since its a more light drink with there signature matcha latte topped with black sesame cream. Its very light for someone just looking for a easy to drink light matcha but don't want a plain drink. Matcha Two: Matcha latte with salted matcha cream and vanilla syrup. This i would say is there signature matcha drink if you are a first timer and want to try there matcha without all the other flavors. Its got a good balanced matcha blended with the hint on vanilla sweetness. The servers are super friendly and helpful here since they make every cup of matcha by hand so there's a long table of workers hand mixing matcha but the line moves fairly quickly. You order directly at the bar so you can ask questions or customize if you wish. I usually get less sweet, less ice or even no ice. They personally hand you every order by name which is a great touch. Overall, a great local matcha shop they we will definitely be back again to try other items especially that salted bread that always sells out!

The…read moreparking can be a bit limited especially during peak hours, but you can usually find a spot. There is both indoors and outdoor seating - making it a great place to study or catch up with a friend. The staff here is super friendly, kind, and genuinely helpful which makes the experience even better. Ordered the following Summer Menu: - Pistachio Latte: slightly sweet, nutty and smooth - Sunset: if you are feeling coffee and citrus - Apricot Hojicha: roasted green tea flavor with a hint of fruit - Strawberry Matcha: light, creamy, and not overly sweet Overall, the Summer Menu had a fun variety of drinks to try depending on your mood! I personally really liked the pistachio latte which was nutty and lightly sweet without being overwhelming. Definitely would like to come again to try their other drinks!

I've had my eye on Morning Lavendar for a while as I was particularly drawn to the their afternoon…read moretea experience. I could hold off no longer and had to visit this charming boutique with cascading blush and ivory. A breathtaking floral wall welcomes you inside and invites you to take a seat. As you enter, greetings from staff echo from the counter. Do you check out the shop or grab a drink and browse? Whatever you do, do not skip the banana cold foam on your drink if you love banana! The hospitality here is evident the moment you walk in. Staff were ready to take our order, answer questions and even checked to see if our drinks were to our liking. Think fashionable design meets European charm for the interior atmosphere, right down to the plates. Morning Lavender offers table seating as well as booths and can accommodate large parties for events. Now for the good stuff- let's talk an Iced Mocha with extra chocolate and an Iced Chai Tea Latte with Banana Cream Foam. The Mocha with extra chocolate was indulgent and velvety with the espresso seamlessly intertwined. A decadent treat to enjoy as the morning started to warm up into the afternoon. Just a suggestion for those who enjoy the richer side of coffee and espresso. A dash of a bit more cream would've added that refined richness. The star of the morning was definitely the Iced Chia Tea Latte with Banana Cream Foam. The description of cold cream hardly captures and embodies what this Banana Cold Foam really is. Think lusciously thick banana smoothie topping off your drink. Impossibly creamy and bursting with ripe banana. Crowning the drink sat a slice of banana bathed on one side in a caramelized sauce similar to crème brûlée. Crunchy peanuts generously scattered on top, making an irresistible contrast in texture. This drink was truly an exceptional culinary experience. I will be back again and again for the Banana Cold Foam.

I recently visited Morning Lavender for high tea with a party of six to celebrate my grandmas…read morebirthday. Overall, we had an enjoyable afternoon, as the overall aesthetic is delightful and having the boutique connected adds such a fun element to the visit. We really enjoyed browsing the selection of clothes, candles, jewelry, and painting books. As for the tea and food, the warm scones and tea were lovely highlights, the smoked salmon sandwich was exceptionally yummy, and the rose macaron stood out with its fragrant flavor. However, there were a few areas where the experience fell short of expectations. While the smoked salmon was great, the chicken sandwich was difficult to chew due to too many nerves and the mini donuts felt a bit stale. We also noticed a few maintenance issues, including a visibly dirty/stained booth seat and a teacup given to one of our guests that was broken on the bottom. Service was another area that could use some improvement. For a party of six, the staff felt somewhat inattentive, leaving several people at our table waiting for long periods to get hot water refills. This unfortunately hindered the amount of tea we were able to enjoy during our visit. Morning Lavender has wonderful potential with its beautiful environment and delicious flavors, but with a bit more proactive service and attention to detail, the experience could be truly exceptional.

Kean Coffee has been a coffee staple in OC for a couple decades, and in my opinion was one (if not…read morethe) of the original craft coffee house that is truly above the rest. They roast their own coffee in house for starters, and have a menu that gives you plenty of options that will satisfy even the pickiest of coffee drinkers. The baristas know their craft, and will be patient and take care of you if you are new to coffee and starting out! Inside the cafe is a dream, you definitely will feel like you are a part of the show as so much happens behind the counter. It isn't too loud for a date or to study, and there is plenty of space for even a solo night out. My go to here will always be the coffee shakes. These are hands down what separates Kean from anything else! I prefer the dark chocolate but honestly I don't know how they perfected this drink. The boba straw is appreciated as the drink is THICK. Give Kean coffee a try, and I promise you this will be on your list of cafes to visit on the regular.

I came to Kean Coffee to get some work done since I saw they had a large seating area. However when…read moreI arrived most of the tables were taken. I didn't see many outlets. I use my hotspot for internet but another customer was asking me for wifi, in which I recommend they ask the business. The noise level was high with a lot of folks coming here to chat over coffee. I decided on their iced Caffe Borgia ($7) with regular whole milk and a Roasted Veggie Quiche ($8.50) because they were out of the meaty quiche I would have preferred to order. The quiche was okay but pricey for a snack. The iced caffe Borgia comes served in a glass if you dine in. I didn't really like the coffee though. As a coffee lover, it's rare I don't like a coffee spot but I actually tossed most of the drink. Definitely not looking to come back. It doesn't really have the atmosphere I enjoy or products I like to consume.
