I'm going to need more black dot's opened!! Would love it if you overtook bux. I guess I should be thankful that Starbucks replaced their chai concentrate with the worst tasting Bland chai on the planet because had they not changed their recipe, I might not have tried the Black Dot chai's. I can't tell you how much I love both of them, the vanilla and the maple walnut. If there were more stores around, I would absolutely get a membership (if they have one) and go everyday. They have gained a loyal customer in me. My friend who is from Vietnam said their Vietnamese coffee is closest to what you would get in Vietnam and highly recommends it. I want to also mention how fantastic the service is at the fountain valley location. Everybody is super sweet and very welcoming. read more

I honestly come here like at least once a week and that's only because I buy a 2 L so I don't have to come back every day. I am addicted to the recipe of Vietnamese coffee. I feel like it's one of the best in town! So not only is the drinks good but the service is amazing. Typically you have to order either online or on Phone for the 2 L 24 hour ahead. I've been trying to make orders online, but sometimes it doesn't go through but the barista's at Blkdot always accommodate me via phone. They always have smiles on their faces and our kinds and laugh at my lame jokes and I appreciate that. They also don't rush or judge you when you have multiple orders and you're trying to figure out what milk goes to what drink for what people I also want a note that even though it's a chain, they make batches of coffee and the freshness is always appreciated. The area is small. There's only a couple of seats, but it's really clean and modern. The chairs don't look it, but it's actually pretty comfortable. Always love coming and can't wait to come back for more! read more

Great blk dot location! Wasn't busy at all when I came in so it was nice to work on homework. There were quite a few outlets around the seating area and nice tables to sit at. Everything was clean and bathrooms were tidy as well. I got the Dulce VTM latte. If you like a strong coffee with cream and sugar, this is for you! Also got this chocolate croissant that was tasty. Definitely worth coming to if you're in the area and need a good coffee and work session. read more

3/22/26, First time at this coffee shop. Actually the cafe mocha that I ordered wasn't bad; a bit better tasting than the overly sweet cafe mocha from Starbucks; although for nearly $7 for this tall size which actually looks at a medium cup is a bit steep in price. Not sure if it's really worth it, but it was fairly good tasting. read more

When I first came here years ago, it was just coffee and it was strong too so I never checked them out again. But this place has so much variety, I can't even decide on just one item. I always want to get 4-5 drinks here because there's so many good options. I love this place and glad they have multiple locations. read more

This BlkDot Coffee spot is tucked away in a industrial/furniture store zone area in Fountain Valley - far enough away to not get overcrowded - but still, relatively easy to get to if you know where to look. I stopped by on a weekend to get some work done, and to try their Matcha - which everyone seems to rave about. I picked up a Large Iced VTMatcha - which has a base of Blkdot's version of Vietnamese Iced Coffee, topped with matcha, and then your milk base. The drink came out layered - and I sipped it for a bit before mixing it up with a straw halfway through the drink, since I wasn't getting much of the coffee otherwise. The matcha is great - rich, flavorful - very good quality matcha. The coffee is a nice touch, gives you a boost of energy and caffeine, and while I got my drink with whole milk, I'll probably try it with Oat milk next time since that tends to bring out flavors too. There's plenty of seating throughout the cafe - the decor is great, bright and airy. There's one restroom, but it is kept clean, so that's a plus. Outlets are far and few - but I usually carry a portable power bank with me anyway, so no issues there. Service is prompt - a small line in front of me when I stepped in, but my drink only took a few minutes after ordering. Lots of parking in front and on the side - as mentioned, this is in an industrial park/furniture zone - so there's not as much traffic here. It is on the way to the 405 freeway, so if traffic looks bad, you can always stop by here to wait things out. I'll have to come back to check out their pastries. The avocado toast looks yummy, but I already had lunch at the time of my visit. read more

Found this new favorite through uber eats this morning and I am impressed! Happy that I discovered it because I'm not in fountain Valley very often even though it's just a few miles from home I got the iced sea salt cold brew and it is absolutely delicious! I don't like my coffee too sweet, but I also don't like it black and this was just perfect! The cold foam offered just enough creaminess and sweetness that it made the perfect drink. And the sea salt component is something that will keep me coming back. I also got the hot honey avocado toast with bacon, and it was equally delicious! I would've liked just a little bit more avocado ratio to the thick cut toast, but I will definitely re-order both of these on a regular basis! read more

I've tried the Irvine location and know this place makes great drinks with a variety of options! I got the Regular Uji Matcha Latte Einspanner. It was a bit more watered down than I expected T-T I ordered from doordash and I'm hoping that's the case. Aside from that, you can taste the flavor of the matcha and its creaminess! I gotta give it another chance without doing a delivery system. read more

I treated myself to three shots of espresso with coconut milk, and listen... I could not be happier to finally have my Christmas cup. I swear, out of all the coffee shops, this is hands-down the best holiday cup. On the back it says "'tis the season for a latte love," and the front has this little black dot that looks like an ornament -- adorable. The quality is so nice, and honestly? The coffee is unmatched. read more

A local coffee shop that my siblings like to go after having breakfast. I've been there two or three times now and the coffee hasn't disappointed me. They offer their own coffee grounds and accessories too. Location is tucked right near the freeway entrance so it is easy to miss! read more

Blk Dot is my favorite coffee here in the OC! I'm not typically near one, but I'll drive out of my way for this place! This one feels relatively hidden in FV, but it still seems to get plenty of foot traffic. The team was positive and friendly here, even with a long line during my visit. I'll be back here in heartbeat! read more

I ordered a large hot latte from this location and was really disappointed. When I went to take a sip, I found a piece of plastic inside my drink. This is a serious safety and hygiene issue. For a place serving hot beverages, something like this shouldn't happen. I expected better quality control, especially for a simple latte. I hope management addresses this, because it definitely makes me hesitate to come back. I reached out to them in IG direct message, but no response. read more

Pleasantly surprised by their incredible variety of drinks, food, and pastries!! I ordered the strawberry lychee jasmine green tea, which was refreshing and beautifully balanced levels of sweetness and fruitiness :3 It was the perfect pick-me-up. I'll definitely be coming back to try the matcha next! The space itself is clean, filled with natural sunlight, and has a relaxed, welcoming vibe. People were quietly doing their own thing, which made it a great place to work, unwind, & just decompress for a few minutes. If you're looking for a great drink and a calm spot to reset during your day, this place is absolutely worth a stop. read more

Stopped by as we started a road trip and this place got us off to a great start. Plenty of parking in the lot. I got a Spanish Latte, less sweet, and it was soo good. Would definitely order again. Also got a sausage cheese bagel sandwich. There was a bit too much chipotle mayo sauce for me but it was still delicious. Very filling, very tasty. Highly recommend. But it's a messy sandwich, especially because of the sauce, so be prepared. Overall excellent first time here. Great coffee and food. read more

Blk Dot is my all-time favorite coffee shop because of their LVTM, VTM, matcha, etc. The inside of this location is beautiful, light, airy, and expansive compared to the other locations. It's a great place to get your coffee and study/work. It's located very close to the 405 fwy, so it's convenient to grab and go as well. There are a lot of furniture stores nearby, so you won't be distracted to go somewhere else; you'll stay put and study/work. The service is always friendly and kind. The decor is so cute for Christmas--not too much, not too little--just right. It's got that clean-line, modern, minimalistic vibe which is perfect to keep my mind clear of clutter and distractions. There's lots of merch, coffee, and coffee-related items to buy as well. Parking was easy. The only down side is that the food can be pricey. read more

Indeed, "Sleep is Overrated." This place ain't for the faint of heart or the casual caffeine consumer. It's a battleground for the true coffee connoisseur, where only those with the most refined palates (like myself) dare to enter. The coffee? Let's just say, one sip and you'll feel like you've just powered up for your next marathon--whether or not you even run (and I can't). "Coffee, I need you" and it's becoming an obsession. The matcha? Oh, it's not just matcha, it's CEREMONIAL GRADE matcha. If you're the type who enjoys that sweet fake matcha from grocery store canisters, just do yourself a favor and rewire your entire taste bud system. Blk Dot isn't here for your sweet tooth; it's here to get your bootie outta bed and racing toward your dreams. Go ahead, take a sip, and feel the transformation. You're not just drinking coffee; you're forging your next cup of ambition. 10/10! Blk Dot definitely deserves a text back unlike the last guy I met on Hinge..... read more

Blkdotcoffee Review I recently tried Blkdotcoffee, and overall I'd give it a solid 7/10. I ordered the Spanish Latte, but it wasn't as flavorful as I expected--I could barely taste the condensed milk. Traditionally, Spanish lattes usually have a rich caramel or dulce flavor, so when I added caramel to mine, it finally hit the mark with that sweet, bold taste I was looking for. Aside from the drink, I really appreciated the details in the shop. They have their own branded napkins, bottled water , and even house-made/canned creamers (including non-dairy options ), which I thought was super unique. There's also a nice selection of merch that gives the place some personality. I also liked the self-serve station with napkins, sleeves, and forks--super convenient compared to other shops where you have to ask for everything. The overall vibe is simple, clean, and aesthetic --definitely a nice spot if you want a coffee shop that feels minimal yet photo-worthy. read more

This is OC's biggest hidden gem for matcha!! The inside is chic and quiet making for a perfect place to sit, sip your drink, and get some work done. The fast and helpful service along with the strong matcha create the perfect environment for you to be productive! As for the matcha itself, it has to be some of the tastiest I've had in the socal area so far. The high quality, ceremonial grade powder is apparent in each sip, the oatmilk is somehow the creamiest I've ever had, and there is a perfect level of sweetness to bring everything together. I cannot recommend this drink enough if you're a matcha lover like myself!! read more

Blk Dot Coffee - Iced Iced Uji Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

My first time trying BLKdot and I was pleasantly surprised! This location just opened up near my house and I was intrigued by their diverse menu, from Asian-inspired flavors to breakfast bowls. I really liked the interior with glass walls that allowed for ample lighting as well as comfy seating. I came on a Tuesday morning and there was plenty of seating. I got the Yuzu Mango Matcha with oat milk and it was delicious! Although there were some clumps in my drink, the matcha flavor was still strong & flavorful, and combined with the mango yuzu was just perfect. My dad got the VTM coffee and said it wasn't bad, but this is coming from a Vietnamese dad who gets viet coffee every week lol. Also got the ultimate breakfast bowl which was really good, just a bit pricey. Service was also really friendly and patient, would definitely come back again by myself or with friends and family. My dad also enjoyed the atmosphere here and said he'd be taking his friends soon! read more

I've been a fan of Blk Dot coffee for a while and I've been to their other locations before so I was excited to finally see a new location open up in my hometown of Fountain Valley! The inside is quite huge with plenty of seating. This is a great place to stop by for work or for studying with wifi and outlets available too! There's plenty of parking outside in front. The windows let in plenty of lighting and the overall atmosphere is welcoming and inviting. I ordered a matcha latte iced with a chocolate croissant which they happily warmed up for me. The staff here were friendly and helpful with any questions I had about various drinks and I didn't wait long before my order was ready. The matcha latte was creamy, had good matcha flavor, and was a great pick-me-up to start my morning. The chocolate croissant had plenty of chocolate inside and the outside was crispy and flaky. If you are looking for a new coffee shop in the area, come check out this new Blk Dot location! You won't be disappointed. read more

I noticed the place pop up recently and I'm reluctant to try new coffee shops if I already have a regular spot. I've also been using my Nespresso machine to try and justify the purchase. Their VTM coffee is strong as hell and worth it. I'm sure purists will say oh you can get that anywhere etc but this is smooth and will keep you awake and alert all day long. I did try their guava cheese danish twice and I would honestly just pass on it. It definitely isn't the best that's where I'll leave it. The service is fast so if you have 10 minutes to get your coffee they can probably do it if there isn't a line snaking out the door. There is also a mobile pickup option which should speed things up. read more

I really like the coffee here, but my biggest draw - their sausage bagel sandwich. I order the everything bagel, no cheese. And you may say - "sounds like every other bagel sandwich", but you would be so wrong. They add this chipotle sauce that I almost crave. It's my favorite thing here and cannot recommend it enough! read more

5 Stars - Amazing Vietnamese Coffee! Tried Blk Dot Coffee in Fountain Valley for the first time, and I am so glad I did! I had my first-ever Vietnamese coffee here, and it was absolutely amazing--perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, with rich, nutty notes that made every sip a delight. I also grabbed a croissant, and it was light, fluffy, and buttery--just how it should be. Beyond the drinks and food, the aesthetic of this place is on point! It has a modern, inviting vibe that makes it a great spot to relax or get some work done. Highly recommend checking it out--I'll definitely be back! read more

Ordered online and order was ready when I got there so service was timely. Place is clean and aesthetically pleasing. Kind of disappointed with the Brekkie bowl. I was excited to try their breakfast, but it ended up being dry. The bacon and potatoes overcooked and overall over seasoned and a bit overpriced. I'll just stick with their coffee, and I don't usually go out of my way to get breakfast and coffee. :/ read more

Would recommend. The food was good. The iced Uji Matcha Latte was delicious. They even offer a COCONUT MILK! This option isn't very common at coffee shops. Service was straightforward. Ambience was clean lines, modern and welcoming. - 1 star because they serve their in house orders in plastic cups. Wish all coffee shops made serving in house orders in glass wear vs plastic. Parking wasn't a problem read more

Vietnamese coffee at its finest!! Very impressed with Black Dot Coffee their VT coffee is my favorite. Breakfast bowls are A++ portions are great and they're so delicious. Cool apparel and merch with catchy phrases. Open, clean and welcoming lobby invites you to browse and relax while sipping and eating. Staff is very friendly and helpful. If I can change anything it would be to add Applepay for mobile ordering and maybe a rewards program. But, I definitely recommend for anyone near OC to check out Black Dot Coffee for your Vietnamese coffee fix!! read more

Blk Dot Coffee - Yuzu Mango Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

This location in October and I can't believe it took me this long to notice! Blk Dotniw the original home of the "VTM Coffee". The next closest location is Costa Mesa so it's nice to have another coffee location around this neck of the woods! Environment - this store is fairly big and is a corner store in a strip mall of furniture stores. Awesome high ceilings, music that is not too loud, and great aesthetics. There are 6 small round tables with a bench along the windows. There are awesome a couple of single sofa chairs that are pretty comfy! It wasn't too busy here on a Sunday but you can tell that people naturally buzz in and out. Service - super nice and my order came out fairly quickly! Drinks - I got the regular iced VTM and it was pretty strong. If you're not used to Vietnamese crack coffee, remember to let the ice melt so you're not wired for the next hour. I'd recommend anything here! Just ask the barista :) Can't wait to come again! read more

The cashier was super nice and gave great recommendations. This coffee spot just opened near me so I wanted to try it out and it was very good I am very happy.

I'm literally here once a week. The location is really convenient for me, the drinks are good, the staff is so sweet, but, most of all, the playlist is KILLER: it's like they have a direct link to my existing spotify playlists i don't know how they're doing this. read more

requested to purchase 2 liters of coffee. The cashier consulted the manager, who refused the request but allowed me to buy five individual bottles--just shy of the same amount. This decision was confusing and frustrating, as the only difference was the packaging, not the quantity. I would appreciate some clarification on this policy, as it led to a poor customer experience. I hope this can be addressed to ensure a more logical and customer-friendly approach in the future. read more

A Gorgeous Gem That's Almost Great -- But Listen Closely... Let me start with this -- the atmosphere? Stunning. I walked in and immediately felt it. The design, the vibe, the warmth of the place -- it's five stars, no question. If you love Vietnamese sugar coffee, sweet tea blends, and espresso-forward drinks, this place will absolutely win your heart. But... that's also where the story shifts. As someone who genuinely loves coffee -- I mean coffee in its truest form -- I had a simple question: "Where's your coffee from?" The barista smiled sweetly and said, "It's a medium roast." So I gently asked again, "No, really -- where's it from?" She paused. Then said... "Africa." And that, friends, is where this café loses its second star. Let me explain why that matters. To simply say "Africa" when asked about a coffee's origin is like saying you're from California and leaving it at that -- but you live in Los Angeles, and I asked if you're from San Francisco. It's not just vague -- it misses the soul of what coffee can be. Real cafés -- the ones that honor the craft -- know their beans like sommeliers know their grapes. They can tell you if a bean is from the Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia, or the slopes of Mt. Elgon in Uganda. They can speak to the terroir, the altitude, the roast profile, the acidity, the oils -- the story behind the sip. This café doesn't need to be pretentious. It just needs to be intentional. The bag of beans I saw simply said "espresso roast." That usually means a dark roast -- designed to punch through sugar and milk. But where's the beauty of a good light roast, or a single-origin pour-over that celebrates the bean itself? You don't need to install a drip machine to honor great coffee. You could offer a small pour-over bar, a rotating single-origin option, or even French press service for those of us who crave depth without syrup. Honestly -- it's faster than a 10-ingredient sugar latte. And to be clear: this isn't about the employee. She was kind, patient, and respectful. This is about leadership. If you're running a café -- especially one built on a proud Vietnamese tradition -- your team should be educated in the very product they're serving. Coffee has history. Coffee has character. Coffee deserves to be respected. This place could rival the biggest chains -- easily. But only if it starts treating its beans like it treats its décor: with pride, with clarity, with soul. I want to give more stars. I truly do. This place is close -- so close -- to being something extraordinary. read more
