I came for the tiramisu and walked out with more than what I paid for. Daniel's customer service is something that people overlook in life, the simple questions customers tend to forget. I did not, Daniel is able to go above and beyond expectations in customer service as a cashier. The restaurant is clean. Thank you to this team and Daniel! read more

I love the VTM! It's sweet, bitter, smoky, nutty with hints of chocolate, but ever since this location re-opened, it hasn't been consistent. Sometimes it's a little too sweet, or sometimes there's not enough smoky/nutty flavor. Another regression after the re-opening is the service. About half the time I go to pick up my order, the baristas don't even look at you. I get that they're busy, but sometimes there's a line of people to pick up their order, and they get ignored. It'd be nice if they would help the mobile orders after they finish making an order, rather than keep making orders. I would recommend the matcha latte with yuzu jam if that's more of your thing! It's also great! I do wish there was not an extra $1 charge to sub an alternative milk instead of cow milk. It's not like you're getting extra milk, and it discriminates against people who are lactose intolerant. read more

Got here mid afternoon on Friday and was hoping to nab a table inside to study at, but it was very busy. Limited indoor seating, but ample tables outside (no outlets outside, and didn't get a good look at whether there were many inside). I wouldn't bank on finding an open table. However, the coffee I ordered was great! I got the iced Spanish Latte with oat milk and really enjoyed the balance of sweet and rich. I'd get coffee here again! read more

Got to try the Iced Thai Pumpkin Spice Latte. Its good not great. Plenty sweet which I like but it was very thick like I was drinking egg nogg. Bit pricy that only came in a regular size. The drink needs to be more balanced and lighter. Service friendly. read more

Great Blk Dot located nestled in between Mendocino Farms and Handel's ice cream at the Tustin Marketplace. The open seating and space in front of the store makes an ideal kid friendly meet-up spot. Came on a Wednesday at 10:30am and it was quit busy with all indoor seating taken. Got the Brekkie Bowl with sausage and Peach Lychee Black Tea, pretty tasty and refreshing. read more

My first time trying Vietnamese coffee and I loved it. It was rich in flavor and loaded with caffeine... So yes, a good choice if you want to wake up or keep awake for a while. Modern and Cute interior with neutral tones. Bright room with a few seats inside but lots of nice outdoor places to sit right next to the store. The wait was a bit long - definitely longer than the wait time in most major coffee chains ; maybe it's due to their process? I saw a good number of staff working and they all seemed busy so not sure why. But the nice coffee was worth the wait; however, you might need to take that into consideration if you are in a rush. read more

After Costco, I was craving an iced coffee, so we went to Blk Dot Coffee. I was so happy we did because our drinks were so good. My husband got the Iced Vanilla Maplenut Latte and I got the Oat Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso. The service was great and the young lady who took my order was helpful and friendly. The inside was lively. I wanted to try their Tiramisu Einspanner. Next time. read more

Mendocino next door spoiled me with top notch customer service. As for Blk Dot- I only got "pick up"? Then staff handed me my drinks and that's it. No hello no bye! I wanted to try Mint Chocolate VTM but it was not as great. I suggest sticking to original VTM coffee. Mint Chocolate was smooth tasting but has too many flavors. I'm glad to see their condense milk does not contain seed oil. I'm impressed with their clean restroom and store was organized. Staff was happily chit chatting among each other on an early Sunday morning but no greetings whatsoever to customer walking in or picking up orders. There are seatings outside but this place gets packed with parking and seating during weekend-Always busy especially around lunch time and big events. read more

I stopped by BLK Dot Coffee in Irvine and overall had a pretty good experience. BLK Dot Coffee serves Vietnamese iced coffee which I found out here --rich, bold, coffee , though it might be a bit sweet if you're not used to it but you can change the sweetness level!! The menu has some other non coffee options, which is nice if you want to try something beyond a basic latte. The shop itself has a clean, modern vibe, but seating is somewhat limited and it gets busy fast, especially during peak hours. Service was efficient, though not particularly warm--it felt more like a grab-and-go kind of place. We got our drinks, headed outside and sat on the lawn. :)) The merchandise's are cute -- check it out. read more

Stopped by while at Irvine Spectrum and tried their Mango Matcha. You order at a kiosk which can be more efficient but even when I chose easy ice my drink was 3/4 full of ice. So perhaps it would have been best to speak to a person or maybe the staff do not care what modifications are placed and are just grinding out drinks to keep with the pace. Doesn't feel like a coffee shop where you can grab a nice cup of joe and be greeted but more like an order-to-go coffee shop. The matcha had a good flavor despite the mountain of ice that made it difficult for me to mix the mango on the bottom. read more

Way too sweet. Did not taste coffee at all, got 2 drinks and we were unable to drink any drink more than few sips

Came to this place twice. Got Iced LVTM both times. First time very good taste, good balance of the flavor. Second time extremely sweet to the point feels a little disgusting to drink. Ended up throwing the whole cup away after couple sips. read more

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. read more

I love their iced Spanish latte, very cinnamon. The coffee tastes great, and that's what matters, so thanks for that. Bagel is OK. Ambience is like louder coffee shop with music and people talking catching up vibes. Nice seating to enjoy the weather outside. Located in The Marketplace so there's a lot of parking due to that, Customer service is whatever, at least they work hard; I know what it's like. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I used to come here before the remodel, and let me just say that it looks much better now and the drinks taste better as well! I got the matcha latte with cold foam, their cold foam takes away from the matcha flavor. I would recommend just getting it without the cold foam if you prefer a stronger taste of matcha like I do read more

Located next to Edward's Theatres in Irvine market place off El Camino Real and Jamboree. Came here to grab their Vietnamese cold brew. Did not disappoint at all. Creamy and strong at the same time and not too sweet. Needed the caffeine boost before work and it hit the spot. They also have food items like avocado toast that you can order to go. Overall good experience. Somewhat pricey for avocado toast. read more

I've been to Blk Dot so many times, but I haven't been to this location in years. Ordered a small VTM Iced Coffee with a splash of whole milk. Coffee was made with little wait time. Same bold Blk Dot flavor and sweetness typical of Vietnamese coffee, but it tasted off. There was some strange residual flavor I couldn't quite identify. Maybe something was changed (the beans? the syrup?). Whatever it was, it definitely didn't taste like their usual VTM. And it's pretty pricy for Vietnamese coffee ($5.95!!), but I'm aware of that when I go to Blk Dot. This location has outdoor tables, patio chairs, and a nice lawn, which is why I like the place. read more

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. read more

Ordered through their kiosk at 8:16. People who came in after me also ordered through the kiosk but received their drinks within minutes. So I had to go up and inquire about my drink. Time was now 8:31. According to the baristas my order never printed. I guess just ask right away about your order here. read more

Saw this place after eating lunch nearby. My husband walked in and check it out while my daughter and I hung out by the large play structure. Not too long after my husband came out with an ice Vietnamese coffee. Man it was good and we actually got Vietnamese coffee from a banh mi shop the next day. This was way better. read more

Love coming here. It's at a shopping center so parking is so easy. Easy to find location. Anytime I'm feeling for a strong coffee, Vietnamese coffee base, this is where I go. Service is great, fast, and it can get pretty busy in there. But it moves fast! Really good quality, coffee, and I love to adjust the sweetness to 50%, and it's perfect. The seating is easy... You can go inside or outside. read more

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.. read more

Excellent selection of coffee that have unique flavors. Easy ordering via kiosks and lots of outdoor space to enjoy your beverage.

My new morning go to spot for a coffee that's going to have me up through work!! Between the Iced VTM & LVTM these two coffees are packed with caffeine that will have your morning productive like no other. Service is fairly fast when popping in person, best option is definitely mobile order just to avoid any coffee rushes for the early morning office folks running late to work This place has a nice modern and fresh vibe which makes it comfy to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee if you have some free time. read more

This place has some pretty darn good hot Vietnamese coffee. Stopped in for a regular cup and sat outside at the comfy chairs reading some stuff for work in front of the edwards cinema by the water fountains. How awesome is that?! Neat little area to enjoy your coffee outside. Service was great and the cup was well constructed to hold my hot coffee at the perfect drinking temperature. The cup is well made and didn't feel shoddy. Definitely recommend read more

Outside of Garden Grove I think they have the best iced Vietnamese coffee you could ask for. Strong, bitter, and just sweet enough.

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! read more

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. read more

Went in there the other morning with my daughter to get some coffee and the service was awful. We waited for five minutes that being acknowledged or hello and the worker was basically making yourself busy doing nothing moving coffee from the counter to up on a shelf... And we had no service. We tried to get her attention and she ignored us. This was at 7:48 AM on Friday, May 1. So we went across the street to mag's donuts and got service right away. I would give them a zero if possible. read more

Good coffee, but I really need them to improve the online pickup process. I totally get the busy morning rush, however, once an online order is actually made they set it to the side. Today I waited by the bar, gave the barista my name, and she looked around briefly saying it was still being worked on. The issue is that once everyone waiting on orders clears out, i'm waiting another 7 minutes on my one drink while they're making 15+ drinks with no one waiting in person. I don't want to bother since I already checked in, but I finally reminded the same girl of my name and she pulled it from on top of the counter where it had been sitting. For the guest, this is uncomfortable because we wait patiently but the name is never called out for a chance to pick up the finished drink, before you eventually have to physically wave down someone to check again. This is my experience every time and given the high volume, baristas could simply announce the name once a drink is finished, or check in with the guests waiting when there's no in house orders. read more

Excellent Vietnamese coffee. Lots of locations. I wish they had more in Los Angeles county. Quick service and nice coffee shop feel.

I would give a 5 Star if the drink is filled fully,but my drink was not full, I guess maybe I was selected "less iced" read more

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! read more
