I get the hype! Airoma Cafe constantly ranks high on the list of best matcha spots in Southern…read moreCalifornia. The cafe is cute with a small number of interior tables. 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.

Today there seemed to be only one staff member taking orders and making the drinks, but she was very efficient. The cafe is so cute, and the drinks were amazing. I really enjoyed the mirakuru double matcha. I asked for less sweetness and less ice, and it was perfect. The crispy flakes on the top were the perfect addition. The fruity mango matcha latte was good as well and we enjoyed the matcha coco refresher. They do get busy so plan accordingly and be considerate to staff as they're working hard!

The drinks were fine but the inside of the store smelled so bad. We came around 11 AM on a weekday…read moreand there were two other people in line. When they looked at us and saw the expressions of our faces they laughed and said "it wasn't us. We swear. It smelled like that when we got here." The whole place smelled like mildew and a lot of bleach/cleaning products. Maybe they recently disinfected the store, but it was not safe to inhale that. My friend got a headache and had to step outside for fresh air. When our drinks were called, we had to breathe through our jacket sleeves to go back inside to pick it up. We didn't finish the drinks though. After a couple sips, we weren't sure if it would be safe to keep drinking it.

Coffee was overall good. Smooth and tasty.

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. I especially like the Peanut Butter Coffee and the Vanilla Cold Brew... and the Dustino... I really like the banana coffee too... they make a mean @ss dirty chai. I swear the list goes on and on. Oh their teas are good too. aight i'm out.

The best place to get Vietnamese coffee drinks! I've visited multiple times and I keep coming back…read morefor their Coconut Coffee. 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!

Let me tell you of this da Vien coffee shop at a new location in garden grove (for me, I'm sure…read morethis has been around for over a year or 2). 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." The moment it flowed through the straw and hit my tongue, it was the smoothest, creamiest most tasty coffee I ever had. Perfect amount of sweetness and a kick of caffeine, I was so amazed!! 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. I would never guess to give a Vietnamese coffee establishment the highest rating on yelp considering my caffeine sensitivity but this is it!

When I first walked in, the staff just stared at me while I was trying to figure out how the BOGO promotion worked. I asked if I could order through the kiosk and was told yes, but the promo code didn't redeem at checkout. I ended up waiting while the staff member chatted with some friends who had come in. I completely understand chatting with friends, but as a customer waiting for assistance, it felt unprofessional. I wish she had offered to help instead of simply telling me, "It should work." I still really like the drinks and think this place is underrated, but I was disappointed by the service during this visit. Hopefully this was just an off day, because I've had much better experiences here before.

I think it was a pretty good drink. In my opinion, it did not need the LIME. The drink came out lightning fast... SERVICE: B+ I was the only one in line and no one really greeted me or took my order. There was 2 customers sitting at the table. The entire store was 98 PERCENT empty. But, the workers appear to be OCCUPIED so I decided to just start TAKING pictures for my YELP REVIEW.

There's also a cozy outdoor patio, and people huddle over the big screen watching whatever game is playing. The so-so - the drinks. It's okay. It doesn't really stand out compared to the other coffee or tea places around here. It's not something that would really stick out or come to mind if I'm craving coffee or tea. Unfortunately, they were so sold out of sandwiches by 1PM on a Wednesday afternoon. The not-so-great - the service. You can wait at the register and make eye contact all you want, but the staff walked back and forth and ignored me until I pressed the help button. I thought it was obvious I wanted to order, but I guess they need to be SURE sure that I needed assistance.
