    Vietnamese coffee
    Cat B.

    Ordered an iced Vietnamese coffee that was pretty good and strong while sitting at the nearby play area with my kids. Only downfall was that it took a while to get my order. A bit on the pricey side but it is the Irvine spectrum.

    Uji Matcha Einspänner and VTM Einspänner
    Han P.

    We were out shopping for our little one and decided to stop by for some matcha and coffee. They had a self-order kiosk, but it was down at the time, so we ended up ordering at the counter instead. I got the Uji Matcha Einspänner, which I'd rate about a 6/10. The matcha flavor was definitely there, and I liked that it wasn't overly sweet, but it didn't really wow me. I was hoping for a creamier texture, and while the cream foam was okay, it didn't elevate the drink much. My boyfriend ordered the VTM Einspänner and really enjoyed it. He said it tasted great, though definitely on the sweeter side. We both swapped our milk for oat, and he added cold foam on top, which they initially forgot--but they fixed it once we let them know. We also tried the guava cream cheese danish, but it wasn't our favorite. The filling didn't really hit for me, and the pastry itself wasn't anything special either. Overall, it was an okay stop--some good, some just average.

    We stopped by this place to get a quick drink. My niece needed to do some shopping and we decided to check this spot out. It was fairly busy, quite a few people inside and a couple people in line before us. Ordering was pretty quick. Decor inside was bright and simple. We got 2 drinks: 1. Iced Original Matcha- Culinary grade Uji matcha from Japan with choice of milk. sub half and half instead of milk This drink was pretty good, you definitely could taste the grassiness of the matcha. My niece thought the half and half was too heavy, making it too milky of a drink 3.5/5 2. Iced Yuzu Mango Matcha- Our classic culinary grade mango matcha latte infused with yuzu jam- sub oat milk- We both liked this drink quite a bit more than the ice original Matcha. It had hints of fruitiness with the Yuzu jam. 4.5/5 There were more items on this menu we would have tried. I am curious about their coffee. I can see this place being very popular in the sunny summer days. Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Food: 4/5

    Iced uji matcha latte
    Corinna W.

    We tried this place in the Irvine Spectrum Mall. We ordered the iced uji matcha latte and the oat brown sugar shaken espresso. The matcha latte was on the stronger side so it was a little more bitter than other places. I liked the oat brown sugar shaken espresso as it wasn't too sweet but still had strong coffee flavor. Service was friendly and our beverages came quickly.

    My lady friend and I came in before having lunch. She had some sort of coffee that's supposed to be really strong. I'm not a coffee person so I went with the Thai tea latte. I really enjoyed this drink. I would definitely get it again. The lady working was very helpful. They have indoor seating, and lots of shared seating outside. They also have free WI-FI..

    I wanted to explore the newly built area at Marketplace. BLK is known for their Vietnamese coffee, which I like to call "crack coffee". It's strong and creamy and sweet and addictive. I, unfortunately, cannot handle sweet very well so I opted for the hot latte on this beautiful December afternoon just before Xmas. It has a nice and dark profile. Great latte. Lots of lounging area in and outside and plenty of parking everywhere. Please come and create your own adventure.

    I haven't been back to the Blk Dot Coffee in the Tustin Marketplace since they moved to a new space after the plaza's big reconfiguration. The new store feels similar to the old one - high ceilings, an open layout, and a bit more room overall. I usually get their LVTM ($5.95), which is the lighter version of their Vietnamese coffee. It tasted a little too light this time. Maybe it was just a one-off, but if they've changed the recipe, I might need to switch over to the regular VTM for a stronger flavor. I do love how easy it is to order online through their website and parking is pretty easy here. Overall, it's a nice spot to relax and enjoy your coffee.

    Avocado Toast
    Heather D.

    Love Blk Dot! I didn't realize this location had reopened after all of the remodeling in the area, so I'm really excited to see this! Today I had the LVTM at half sweet, which surprisingly was still kind of sweet. I also tried the Avocado Toast for the first time which came on a really fresh, fluffy bread. This location has a grass/courtyard area for kids and dogs to walk around which is nice for families.

    So excited to have a blk dot next door to my house! All of their coffees and matcha are so tasty. My fav is a classic hot Vanilla latte. My sister is vegan and got a hot cinnamon latte with Oat milk. She said the vegan milk options were nice as it can be hard to find a place with variety. I had a few questions about a few different drinks and they took the time to answer them all. My goto place for coffee!

    Ridiculous amount of ice in coffee
    Alex Z.

    Huge bummer. I paid an extra $1 for the large iced coffee. The coffee was good but after 5 sips all the coffee was gone. Looks like I paid $7 total for a cup of ice. Probably won't be coming back again.

    Iced  coffee

    What an awesome experience. The staff was polite and helpful in choosing my drink. Have to say that whoever made my drink it was the best iced Oat Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso I've had. Better than Starbucks. My wife had the Matcha Mango and she said it was delicious. The atmosphere was relaxing and quaint.

    Ordering tablets
    Cathrine S.

    Have been meaning to try Blk Dot for awhile! Finally stoped in to their new location at the Tustin Market Place. The coffee shop is small, modern, with 4-5 tables inside. You can order at the counter or place your order on one of two tablets near the doors when you walk in. They have a large menu with seasonal coffee drinks and flavors. I tried the Maple Nut Latte, the coffee was bitter for my taste and the flavorings just weren't enough to complement the coffee itself. I know Blk Dot is a popular chain, it just wasn't a hit for me! Stop in and try for yourself!

    Is outdoor seating still available?

    Yes. There are plenty of seats and tables.

    Do they allow in door seating?

    No indoor seating, but there's outdoor seating at that location.

    Does anybody know the caffeine content in their decaf iced coffee? I loved it and it tasted pretty strong so it kind of got me thinking lol?

    The strength of the flavor of coffee does not indicate caffeine content. Though I'm not sure the exact amount of caffeine left in their decaf, it is very little by the standard used to determine decaf drinks.

    Does this place allow dogs on the inside, outside, or both? How clean are floors inside & outside? Thank ;)

    The place is very clean but like any place that serves food, you cannot have your dog inside; it's the law. There's plenty of outside seating where dogs are allowed that's shared with the other eateries though.

Fair warning though -- I got a little too excited and bit into it too early, and it definitely burned my mouth, so give it a minute to cool down! Totally worth the wait.

I do not understand why you offer reservations if you will not actually honor the system. Around 8 pm, we asked if we could order as they had only brought water. Listen I understand. You're closing soon. You only had 1 server for the entire restaurant the weekend of Valentines. You have to go lean on the busiest last weekend ..? I don't actually understand. When all came to, they were not offering dessert because "they were saving it for Valentine's Day". No notification about when their kitchen closed and no asks if anybody wanted to order for to-go. On top of that, everyone did not have free parking and had to pay upon exit even with validation. You will do great as a ghost kitchen since the food was good and everyone enjoyed it. If you come back as a full service, I would seriously reconsider how you do business.
