I ordered a large light Vietnamese coffee from Blk Dot Coffee, and it was perfectly sweetened! At $7 for a large, it was a bit pricey, but worth it for the taste. The service was pretty quick, and there was a decent amount of seating available. Overall, a great spot for a coffee break! read more

Honestly this is one of the worse lattes I've had.. their coffee taste old and their sugar free caramel taste so artificial. So much for trying to be healthy because their drinks taste so bad. get your coffee from parakeet cafe in the area instead! read more

Been seeing people post about coffee and bagels from here. The sausage and cheese bagel was good 5/5! I substituted the jalapeño cheese bagel on it and it gave the bagel a mixture of savory and heat. I would definitely come back for other bagel combinations! I ordered the tiramisu espinnar iced, 4/5 it was solid drink. I also ordered the mojito espinnar 2/5, probably because I'm comparing it to Philz mint mojito but not my favorite! I definitely recommend ordering ahead if you are in a hurry, lines can be long. read more

This blk dot coffee location is definitely new. It's in the same plaza as flower child and stacks. Service was welcoming and friendly, the guy at the register was nice. There are a few tables so that people can work or study. It was a nice quiet spot! I had a uji matcha latte this morning and it was very mediocre. There were chunks of matcha, meaning they didn't sift it very well. The matcha flavor was not as potent as I was anticipating, it was quite milky. It was basically $6 for green milk with a hint of matcha. The ratios are definitely off and I wouldn't come back for a matcha latte here. read more

I've been a huge fan of Blk Dot for a few years, and was so excited to find out they opened one up within walking distance of where I live! This location has a lot more seating than the other ones I've been to, which is great because it seems as though it will be much easier to come here to do a work session with friends. The drinks are so good! I got an iced caramel macchiato with oat milk and absolutely loved it. The food is also a hit -- you should definitely try out their hot honey avocado toast. The baristas are all friendly and were very quick in completing my order! Overall a 10/10 experience. read more

Well the service deserves 5 stars. They focus on Vietnamese coffee, so it is really strong and really sweet because they use condensed milk as the sweetener. If you enjoy a lot of sugar, which I do not, then you might like it. Otherwise, try it and taste for yourself. read more

I was extremely disappointed and turned off to this particular location. I received a confirmation text telling me when to expect my coffee order. Most shops I have been too during non busy hours (AM rush hours) usually don't take 15 min for an Iced Americano with an extra shot. But it was lunch and there were a few patrons when I entered the store 5 minutes before the estimated time. However, there was no line and there were 5 different workers (2 behind the counter, and 3 in the back area) and not one of them: 1. Acknowledged when I entered 2. Acknowledged while I stood at the pick up counter waiting for my online order. While I waited 2 different people came in and ordered right away. As soon as they walked in and walked up to the counter even while they were still deciding what they wanted, the 2 employees behind the counter greeted them and asked how they could help and to let them know when they were ready to order. I was continued to be ignored, with no eye contact from any of the employees even when most of them had seen me standing there for now close to 10 minutes. At the time the text came through that my order was ready at 1238, they had still not acknowledged me even though I was standing right in front of the sign that says to have your order confirmation ready on your phone. I did not receive my coffee until 1245. I was extremely disappointed with just the service, and I am hoping this is not the same for every location. The coffee itself was pretty standard, so it was not as if it had an amazing taste to make up for the lack of customer service. read more

I was told by the guy at the cash register that they don't accept cash. I asked to speak with the manager as there is a substantial fine associated with not accepting cash. I then asked to record their denial of cash payment which I don't need to do since this is a business open to the public with no expectations of privacy.

Despite being relatively close to two major colleges - OCC and UCI - this place wasn't as crowded as you'd imagine it would be. They serve coffee, matcha, breakfast foods like breakfast burritos, protein bowls, avocado toasts - but I didn't pick anything to eat since I already had lunch. I shared with the barista that it was my first time here, and he asked what type of drink I was looking for. I told him something iced and caffeinated - and he mentioned his favorite was the Honey Cinnamon Latte - which I opted for - iced, with oat milk. Total was $8.50 including tip. My iced Honey Cinnamon Latte was yummy, creamy, and fantastic! With the oat milk substitute, it sorta tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch in liquid coffee form. It wasn't overly sweet, definitely had a nice kick to it - love this recommendation by the barista! I checked out the rest of the space and used their restroom to wash my hands - it's really a neat space here. Lots of seating. Lots of space. There's an adjacent room that's connected to the cafe called "Flow Space" - which is utilized for small popups and arts & crafts. Neat spot for smaller community members to showcase their wares. Some of the other reviews mentioned no a/c - which had me worried considering we were having a bit of a heatwave lately - but to my pleasant surprise, A/C was on and cold! It was a great escape from the heat. Free wifi - fast enough for a zoom call if you need to hop into one - my speedtest reported download speeds of 17.5MB/s Restroom is clean and well maintained. Plenty of parking - of course, I stopped by a little after 2pm, so already avoiding the tail end of the lunch rush. Only downside is they close kinda early - 4pm - but open up at 7am. Great spot! Will probably be my go-to considering there's ample workspace, plenty of parking, less crowded than other coffee spots in the immediate area. I'm curious to try their matcha the next time I'm here, as well as possibly their breakfast burritos, since photos for that looks delicious.

The staff is friendly and fast with their services, especially with the amount of traffic they get on a normal business weekday. I ordered the Hazel Ganache Latte which was rich, smooth, creamy, chocolatey and not too sweet. I loved the foam artwork and overall presentation.

Wondering how many times you can post a pic of the same order/different day, hah.

Blueberry matcha. Not for me... blueberry overpowered the matcha, like blueberry milk. But, some people love it. Try it for yourself. Xo

I will have to say that their menu looked so appetizing but fell short. Their KRISP burrito was basically a super hard tortilla - not crisp, HARD and stiff - with very oily contents. Obviously, a breakfast burrito is going to have oil, but it was a bit much considering it was dripping out the whole time. I couldn't finish eating it. The matcha was pretty good but I think their food was such letdown so I wouldn't make the 30-40 min commute through traffic.

He was very friendly and acted as if we were long time friends. You order up at the front counter and then they bring the food to you. We tried a little bit of everything. Their burger which was super simple but really tasty! Their breakfast burrito which was a classic. But the star of the show was the pastrami breakfast tacos I have never had anything like that before. It was so good and I will definitely be back for that! We ended the day with some pancakes which was a nice treat! The area is small but very homey. I will definitely be back! Thanks Billy!

The…read morestaff are always friendly no matter the location, patiently providing samples without making you feel rushed despite the long lines of people waiting. Tip: they have a kid's portion that is $1 cheaper than the piccolo size which is only one scoop, slightly smaller than a standard scoop, even in a cup. So getting piccolo in a cup (2 scoops) is a better value for what you get. Just wish the kid's portion was proportionally cheaper.

There are so many good ones that I still can't decide which is my favorite! If you're having trouble choosing, they'll let you sample a few flavors before making your decision. The service is always good, and the staff is friendly and energetic. The only downside is that there's almost always a line, and the wait is usually at least 15 minutes. Personally, I'm not a fan of waiting that long for gelato, so unless I'm bringing friends or family who haven't tried it before, I don't come very often. I'd rather skip the wait and grab dessert somewhere else One thing I highly recommend is getting the waffle cone. They make them fresh in-house, and they're so good! They have a wonderful vanilla flavor that pairs perfectly with the gelato. The shop itself is beautiful. The floor-to-ceiling shelving around the walls gives it and elegant look. The decor is clean, neutral, and inviting, creating a cozy atmosphere. That said, don't expect to sit and enjoy your gelato inside, this is more of a grab and go place.

Each one of them was delicious in their own way but the star was definitely the steak sandwich. The steak was cooked perfectly and it was a great portion. They also held up nicely as we got them to go and ate them at the beach. Because it was father's day it was a bit crowded and we waited about 40 mins for our sandwiches but i'm sure it's not that long on a regular day. Definitely going to be back to try their smash burger, fries, and soft serve

I ordered the Wagyu Tri Tip sandwich special and my order was nearly the last available that Friday. I also ordered their Paradise Iced Tea, which was good, but not spectacular at a paradise level in my opinion. The tri tip sandwich could have been executed in all the right ways, but the Serrano chilis were overdone and took over the sandwich. The balance was thrown off. The Serrano masked the overly chunky tri tip and my palate. If the Serrano chilis were diminished by a half or even two thirds, this would be a far better sandwich. The quality of the sesame seeded hero bus was great and I could taste it, but overshadowed by the Serranos.I could tell the cheese sauce was also well thought out and executed on its own, but again the chilis masked all that goodness. The same goes for the chunky sauteed onions, whose sweetness could have offered a nice counterpoint to the tri tip and chilis, but was overwhelmed by the chilis. This also applied to the tri tip, whose Wagyu flavor should have been at the center of this sandwich, but was pushed aside by the Serranos. You're onto a good thing with this Tri Tip and I was looking forward to enjoying it, given we don't commonly see the tri tip cut on the East Coast. When you run this special again, back off the Serranos by a considerable amount and chop the tri tip a bit more finely so one can eat it without having to eat oversized chunks. The quality is there, but the balance and execution were off. 3.4 stars

Came in today to pick up two simple things and walked away frustrated by both interactions…read more First was a gift card. The lady who helped me - dark hair, really overly colorful eye makeup, and tattoos - processed the transaction but handed me the card without a receipt. When I asked for one, she spent a moment at the screen and then told me she couldn't print it because she had already closed out my tab. I was confused why 1) she didn't give me a receipt in the first place, then 2) she decided that was the only solution - to tell me it could not be done. After I asked her to find a solution as I needed a copy of the receipt, she finally asked her colleague beside her, who pointed her to the right place, and, voila, the receipt was printed. Leading with "I can't" is never the right customer service instinct, especially for something as basic as a receipt. I also tried to buy the butter they import from France. I stood at the case for several minutes with no acknowledgment. I finally walked over to the nearest employee (her name was Lucy) who was finishing up with a customer at the register right next to the butter section. I politely asked if she could help me when she was free. She looked at me, nodded, and said she would. Then proceeded to assist every customer who lined up behind that original customer without once glancing back in my direction. In fact, I had enough time to walk to the bakery, go through the entire gift card situation as mentioned above, and return to the butter section, and Lucy still hadn't looked over. I left without the butter. Moulin used to have fantastic service. I don't know where those regulars went, but two strikes in one visit, with two different employees, is hard to brush off.

We also bought one ham and cheese jalapeño croissant. He warmed it up and put it in the same plastic bag with our chocolate donuts!! Who does this?!? Apparently the shop worker did.
