    Iced VTM

    I like my Vietnamese iced coffee to be strong and was definitely not disappointed by this place. The coffee was so flavorful and yummy, I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves vietnamese iced coffee!

    Every trip at the Irvine Spectrum is also a treat at Blk Dot Coffee. I love getting the LVTM (Light Vietnamese Coffee) and Iced Chai. Staff are always friendly & even if this place can get really busy, they are pretty quick in making your drinks.

    Nice coffee shop serving great drinks. They have some small bites as well as merch. The coffee is good quality and made well. Their marketing tries promoting that sleep is overrated, but do not take it seriously since sleep is super important. The staff are very friendly and helpful, willing to modify the drink based on your preference.

    Great coffee. Access is easy if you go during off hours. Park by Target for an easy in and out. Good deep flavors, good selection and options. The oat milk latte with 1 pump of any flavor is great. The Blk Tiger is delicious and strong.

    matcha viet coffee
    Vanessa A.

    First time here and can't wait to come back to try more! Ordered the viet coffee matcha and it was so refreshing. Ive had both before as separate drinks but never combined, so worth it. The staff was friendly and efficient despite the line. Located conveniently in the spectrum so it's a nice pitstop in the middle of a shopping day.

    *Uji Matcha Latte (Almond Milk)

    Blk Dot Coffee *March 15th, 2026 *1:30pm- Sunday *5 Stars Environment: *Large Parking Lot *Indoor and Outdoor Seating *Quick Service Food/Drink: *Uji Matcha Latte (Almond Milk) Came here after not being satisfied with a matcha latte from another location earlier, and this spot definitely redeemed it. I ordered the Uji matcha latte with almond milk and was honestly so impressed with the strong matcha flavor that I was hoping for. Service was super quick, which made the experience even better. I've had their coffee plenty of times before and always enjoyed it, so I was excited to finally try their matcha. Definitely a go-to if you're craving a solid, flavorful matcha latte!

    One of the few places open late for a coffee out in OC. They took orders down to the last minute of closing. Black dot has a nice "work pitstop & quick pick-me-up" vibe. I got matcha & I've had the einspanner's theyre a MUST for a late night or hustling day. Loved it!

    Pure coffee magic! Best iced coffee anywhere. Five stars. Great location. Walk around and enjoy the nice warm weather in SoCal. Highly recommended.

    Iced Spanish Latte
    Diana P.

    I decided to finally give Blk Dot coffee a try after hearing many good reviews about it. Inside the coffee shop is actually pretty small with a few seating options located outside. Luckily when i went there was no line and the cashier and barista were both very friendly. Since it was my first time i was a bit overwhelmed and not sure what to order because they had a variety of different options including Vietnamese coffee, matchas, and classic coffee drinks such as lattes as well. This time i decided to go with their Spanish latte. Overall, the quality of coffee tasted really good and i enjoyed the latte overall. I will say there wasn't anything special or unique and was a little bland flavor wise but it was decent latte. I would like to return to try one of their more unique flavors like a matcha lemonade i saw. Overall i think it's a good spot for a coffee, but it is not my favorite coffee spot in Irvine.

    Yuzu Mango Matcha Latte
    Kaylee S.

    I had heard great things about the Yuzu Mango Matcha Latte and wanted to try it for myself. I was pleasantly surprised by the matcha flavor. While it is culinary grade rather than ceremonial, it still had a bright green color, and the taste came through nicely, with just a slight astringency. I appreciated that the matcha itself wasn't sweetened, allowing the yuzu mango to provide the sweetness. The addition of yuzu bits was a nice touch, and the bright, citrusy flavor made the latte feel refreshing and surprisingly well-paired with the matcha. I ordered online and the service was accurate to the time.

    Vietnam Iced LVTM
    Morgan W.

    Love this spot for a coffee and hearty breakfast bowl. The light Vietnamese coffee iced is by far my favorite as the normal is a bit too sweet for me. The breakfast bowl has so much flavor and large portions. Great way to start the day around Irvine.

    Today was my first time trying Blk Dot and we ended up parking at the Target in Irvine Spectrum and walked over. I haven't been to this side of Irvine Spectrum before but parking was surprisingly easy. This coffee shop was SO busy at 3pm on New Year's Day. The line moved quickly and service was friendly. Drinks came out very shortly after we ordered. I had the Vanilla Maplenut Latte; this drink is really subtle and didn't have a strong flavor at all. I was expecting it to be a little sweeter but I don't think it's something I'd order again. The VTMatcha is a matcha with vietnamese coffee on the bottom. This drink is very unique and has a bold flavor that surprisingly works well together. My boyfriend chose this drink based on how pretty it looked but ended up really enjoying it. There is some outdoor seating available to hang out and enjoy your coffee, but it is not necessarily a location I'd recommend staying at for extended periods of time, simply because of how long the line gets and how crowded it can be.

    Not specialty coffee. You might as well go to Starbucks, their baristas know more about their product.

    Ask the Community - Blk Dot Coffee

    Why can't you guys fill the cup all the way for viet coffee when we request ez ice? Is there a viet coffee traditional rule?

    Ice is a part of the recipe, so when requesting less ice there is an inch of room at the top because they don't alter the recipe any further. However, if you wanted to top it off, you can ask for the additional pour which is a small fee of $1.30...… 

    Any gluten free pastries or bagels or breads?

    No, but they have delicious egg and avocado toast you could ask for no bread Also, a gluten free nut bar and kombucha bottled…

I found the cocktail to be slightly too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good (fragrant and well-balanced). The short ribs were tender and soft, cooked in a perfectly savory sauce with a hint of sweetness, and served over smooth mashed potatoes. The steak was also cooked and seasoned well. We all loved the maple pecan Brussels sprouts. I often find this dish to be overly oily or sweet, but this one was done very well. The Brussels sprouts were well-seasoned with the perfect hint of sweetness and cooked perfectly, not too soft or too crunchy. I will say that the restaurant's lighting was excessively dark. I don't mind dim lighting for ambiance, but it was so dark that I had to lean in close to my food and squint to see it clearly, which felt a bit excessive. Additionally, the green beans were slightly too old and fibrous, although they were cooked well. This was a shame because if they had used younger, fresher green beans, it would have elevated the dish and paired much better with the well-prepared meat. Overall great experience and would definitely come back! :)

When ordering they have a card stating approximate waiting times depending on how busy they are, but it well exceeded the time on the card. There was a family of 4 that ordered before us and got their food first. My order consisted of 2/4 things they ordered.... How does that work?

The brunch menu was limiting, with only a few egg dishes, sandwiches, and breads. The French toast and waffle were nearly $20 each despite the small portions and standard toppings. *French Toast: the worst item of the meal. The bread had no flavor or egginess and left a strange sandy mouthfeel. The interior was so dry that it soaked up all the moisture in my mouth. A poor showing for a classic French toast. *Waffle: the batter was slightly sweetened but felt too dense. The fruit was fresh, although nothing about the toppings or overall quality stood out. *Steak Frites: hanger steak topped with chimichurri and fries. It was supposed to come with bernaise sauce, but I did not receive any. The steak leaned closer to rare rather than the medium rare I asked for. However, it was still tender, and the chimichurri was vibrant and herbaceous. I wished more sauce had been applied, as the dish was a bit dry. The fries were decent, though I would have preferred more crunch. Given the long wait, I expected much more from the dishes in terms of flavor and execution. I was disappointed by how flavorless and dry everything was.
