    Mango matcha and banana matcha
    Hailey P.

    A solid matcha spot! Came around 12 PM on a Friday and waited about 30 minutes total between the line and getting our drinks. The mango matcha had a really fresh, fruity flavor, while the banana matcha was super creamy and slightly thick, probably from the real banana foam and oat milk. The toffee bits on top were so good and added a nice texture and extra sweetness. The store itself is pretty small and most of the space is taken up by ordering and making drinks, so there's nowhere to sit or really chill. Definitely more of a pick me up drink kind of place than somewhere to hang out, but the drinks were solid!

    Blueberry Matcha and Banana Coffee

    As someone who just flew down from the Bay Area, my goal is to try out different drink stops every time I visit. I was hesitant at first because of how long the line looked, but after some easy self-convincing I ended up joining that line, and I do not regret it all. I visited on a Wednesday early afternoon, and the line was already long. Usually not surprised it has a lime because of the fact that they close early. I waited 30 mins total to order and get my drink, which wasn't terrible. You order with 1 worker, she writes it down on the cup, and then you go and pay right after, and then someone brings the drink out to you, which was very nice! Since I was alone, and I'm not local, I decided to treat myself and get 2 drinks, the blueberry matcha and their banana coffee. And it was amazing!! Couldn't stop chugging both of them. Loved loved each of their flavors. So very highly recommended if you are into sweeter drinks or flavored drinks!

    My favorite place for matcha. I'm not even a banana fan but this one with the toffee bits was a 10/10. The coconut matcha wasn't bad, but was just meh. Not something I would get again I think. Definitely not bad. The only downside to this place is the line.

    This place is defiantly very very popular at the moment but for good reason. Ive been seeing this place on all the top matcha lists in OC and it has contention for sure. My only critic is that the matcha itself is a little gritty. I got a guava matcha latte and the color is amazing and the taste of the matcha itself has a subtly sweetness that everyone can get behind. The gritty texture may be due to the mass production that they are handling for the growing line. Regardless it was worth the hour wait! My bf loved their banana viet coffee and wishes we got 2 of those to begin with. I believe all the coffees are made with viet coffee bases but i could be wrong.

    Matcha and coffee... what a perfect combo! I was in the area with my friend, and this shop was on my bucket list for a while. When I arrived, I was surprised by the long line. It started inside the store and extended past four other stores next to it. However, the line moved pretty decently (prob 15 minutes to get to the front). The workers were really nice... they walked out to hand-deliver each drink to customers outside. So sweet of them! There's no seating available for those looking to study here, but they do have a bench inside where you can sit while waiting for your drinks. Our order: Matcha Two (4/5): Very rich in matcha for sure, but I don't think this one was made for me. I like it more when it's infused with the berries or fruits, so maybe I'll try that next time. Not bad tho! Salted Saigon (5/5): Perfect for coffee lovers like me! Just enough sweetness in the coffee and a hint of sea salt creme on top. Nice pairings. Would def. get it again. Blueberry Matcha (5/5): My friend got this drink, and she really loved it! She said it was a total banger, and she would come back for this LOL. Definitely a must-visit spot for coffee or matcha!

    Guava matcha is so good, super refreshing! I also like the mango matcha as well. Also, the matcha doesn't feel thick or too heavy. The times I have been here, the line is long but goes by pretty decently. Staffs are really nice and helpful. Only problem here is the parking bc it's a small plaza. I went on a Sunday once and took us like 15 mins to find parking and the line was outrageously long. The store is small but they have a good flow going.

    Pretty solid coffee and really really good matcha per my wife LOL. I'm not a huge matcha person so I can't really tell the difference, but she told me it's worth the hype! Don't get discouraged when you see the line outside. They only let 1-3 people inside at a time to order so everyone has to wait outside. I was at the end of the 1st/2nd store? and it only took about 10min to order. There was about 10-13 people in front of me. Then it took about another 10min to get my order, so it wasn't a terrible wait. Ordered Banana Coffee - 4/5 - nothing crazy viet coffee with bananas, but one of the better ones Matcha 1 - for pure matcha flavors Matcha 2 - for some light dressing on the matcha salted matcha foam Salted Bread - 3/5 idk just tasted like bread with butter/salt LMAO Personally if I have to wait 30min+ i wouldn't but if you can get there early and it's only around 10min wait I think it's a solid spot.

    Black Sesame Matcha
    Tony L.

    This is a local hidden gem in Tustin in a random strip mall. Parking is abit hit and miss since its a 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!

    M2
    Czarina D.

    WOWOWOWOW. Delicious! One of the best matcha drinks ever. The matcha here really shines. They do matcha in a really simple, yet delicious way. The matcha is incredibly smooth and creamy. The drinks are not too sweet, the salt levels are perfect, and have a great ratio of matcha! I will say I think the matcha flavor could be punchier, but I think the way they've done it really appeals to the masses. The matcha is also not really bitter which I am really impressed by! Because it's not bitter, the naturally sweet, creamy, and savory/earthy notes really come through. My husband and I tried the M2 and the Mango Matcha. Both were AMAZING! The mango matcha was sweeter and a good balance between the two flavors. The M2 was straight matcha flavor and so pure. Your preference on whether you like sweet or heavier on the matcha will dictate what will be your favorite. We also tried the Black Sesame Coffee and WOWEE was it great! The coffee was STRONG. Really good coffee. Loved it! And the black sesame was super flavorful. Now let's talk about the game changer...THE SALT BREAD! If you are there and it's not sold out, do yourself a favor and just get it. (P.S. I've heard that the salt bread sells out early) I LOVED THE SALT BREAD! It was actually the perfect bread to match the drinks. I loved taking a sip of the drink and following it up with a bite of the salt bread. The bread had a crispy outside and a beautiful salty, buttery flavor. Loved the crunchy outside with the airy inside. Such a good pastry. I came Saturday around 10am and the wait was about 30 minutes. The line moved quick and once they took our order, the drinks came out SO FAST. The service was AMAZING! The workers were so kind and we really enjoyed our interactions with them. AYER, GREAT WORK! I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!!!!!

    Orange County Matcha Finest! Currently, my favorite place for Matcha! I've been here since the grand opening and I absolutely love the place. I try to go off hours because this place gets really busy on weekends. The service is quick and worth the wait. What I got here is the double Matcha and boy did they make a mean one. It is the perfect sweetness at 50%. It has a very good consistency. I also recommend getting the salted bread.

    Ashley L.

    Mango matcha: 5/5 Fresh mango flavor pairs so well with the matcha, so yummy Black sesame matcha: 4.5/5 Loveeee black sesame but tasted more black sesame cream than I did any matcha flavor, overall still so yummy There was a line but it moved pretty fast I would say like 5 min. Drinks came out fast

    Sherluna V.

    I've been here twice now. The line is out the door, but it's because there's literally no room inside except to order your drink. Once you order, you wait outside and the drink comes out quick. Both times I got the matcha banana cream drink. I normally don't like oat milk, but you can't taste the difference here. I'm also not sure if they use diary alternatives for their cream, but if they do, it is still pretty creamy. I'm knocking a star down because the drink was inconsistent. They were still good both times, but the first time, it had a better, more concentrated matcha taste. I also got the salt bread and would skip it. They put it in a cute little bag, but I've definitely had better.

    Jessica T.

    Pretty Delicious! I came here 4x prior, on my 5th, I've decided to write a review. 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! ^-^

    Hojicha banana latte, so good

If you are lactose intolerant, you've been warned! The breakfast sandwich and burrito were also good!! Nothing too special, but still yummy The avocado toast was tasty, but some of the ratios were a bit off. A little too much goat cheese and it was loaded with avocado (perhaps a bit too much for the bread it was on), but I did really love the addition of pickled onions and balsamic glaze. Again, I liked it but it didn't wow me. Overall, good!

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.
