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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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'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

Stopped by for an afternoon coffee on a weekday. My wife just got a hot oatmilk latte. She really enjoyed it. Service was quick and the their coffee is pretty good. Definitely better than other options at the spectrum like Starbucks. 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

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

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

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

Sunday morning wasn't super busy and there was plenty of outdoor seating. My boyfriend got the Iced VTM and I got a Mango Delight Green Tea. Both drinks were good. The BEC could have had a little more bacon but I found it really tasty. Overall everything was good and the outdoor seating made this a perfect Sunday morning spot. read more

I've been to a few Blk Dot Coffees before, and decided to try this spot when catching up with a friend. The store was clean, and has a modern design, very similar to its sister locations. I got the Vietnamese coffee, and y'all it was strong, but in a good way! I think halfway through the drink, I was starting to get really jittery. The Viet coffee was pretty strong, but doesn't have as milky of a texture as a regular Viet coffee would. This location has limited seating, but I do love that they have outlets and wifi so you could study or get some work done. It's located in the newly renovated Tustin/Irvine Marketplace area, with lots of parking spaces, and outdoor seating. There's a shared green turf space in front of the business, so it's a great place to grab a coffee and hangout. read more

Blk Dot Coffee, Irvine - Solid spot for good coffee with quick service. The ambiance is cool and relaxed, with plenty of chairs to sit back and unwind. Free parking is a big plus. There's also an outdoor space where kids can play, which makes it family-friendly. Bonus points for the location: Handel's Ice Cream is right next door, and Regal Cinemas too. Mendinco farms is right beside as well.Great place to grab a coffee and hang out for a bit. read more

Great spot if you're into matcha and need a place to get things done or meet up with someone. I ordered a matcha and it definitely hit -- smooth, flavorful, and well made. There's plenty of seating, which I really liked. It's a solid place for working, taking meetings, or just hanging out. Parking was easy, which is always a big plus in this area. The staff was friendly and welcoming too. Another thing I appreciated was the location -- surrounded by tons of eateries, so you've got options if you want to grab food before or after. The outdoor seating was especially nice since it was a beautiful day. Also, free WiFi worked well, which made it even better for getting work done. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the music was a bit too loud for me. It made it tough to focus and hear clearly during phone calls. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would come back again. read more

Really high quality drinks, fast service, comfortable sitting space and good vibe in a great location.

Liked the VTM Coffee Einspanner. The classic VTM was very good too, though quite strong and nutty. My daughter reported she could feel the coffee in her nose! read more

Stop - don't waste your money! This place charges you full price for a cold brew that they 2would not fill up to the top. When asked why they told me they can only pour to the line. I watched her pour to the half way line that is marked on the coffee cup. None and I mean none of the other coffee shops in town do this. I only drink black cold brew and I love trying new places but this one will be on my constant - DO NOT GO!!! They are ripping you off!! read more

Finally, a decent coffee shop in Irvine! BLK Dot Coffee has delicious matcha and quality coffee. I highly recommend grabbing some of their beans. My husband made some coffee with their beans and even after a month, it's still tastes amazing. The staff are friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit even better. Definitely one of my go-to spots for a good cup of coffee in Irvine! read more

Came here 3 times now, first time was magical great drinks & great staff - the last two times it has been horrid. Coffee should be strong not burnt was burnt both times and was not heard apparently after saying I have a dairy allergy. Had a drink remade they gave me something totally different and was nothing like what I ordered the first time disappointed i. The lack of consistency & quality. Wish every time was like the first. Won't be returning. read more

Been many times. Awesome selection. Vietnamese coffee is worth a try! Bagels are better than some bagel shops I've been to. Check them out.
