    The drinks I've had here have been so good, but the service really makes it a great coffee shop. They're all so friendly, as well as good baristas. It's great location to work from, socialize or grab & go.

    Double Espresso Shot iced
    Leilani M.

    A quick stop for a little wake me up. Designated pick up parking spots right in front with plenty of regular parking available. Comfortable inside seating or outdoor patio area shared with other eateries. Wi-Fi for guests. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Real coffee drinker menu available. Double shot espresso iced was robust and delicious. Perfect for the heat of day. I'd go back in a heartbeat. A definite bookmark favorite when in the area.

    I used to go to their location at the Spectrum, but's it's been a while since I've been down there. Surprised to find one so close to UCI. Staff is very friendly and efficient. The place is a good sized with some seating inside. The plaza also has plenty of outdoor seating. It's in a pretty big plaza with plenty of food/drink options. It can get pretty busy, but I've never had an issue trying to find parking. So I only get three things from them and it really depends on what I'm craving that day, Iced VTM, Iced VTMatcha, or Iced Uji Matcha Latte. They have plenty of customization options if that's your thing. All have excellent flavor and really depends on your preference. They VTM is very strong can can be pretty sweet, but that's really what you should be expecting. For the other two matcha options, I tend to do less sweet and less ice. Love the matcha flavor without too much sweetness and less ice so you take your time enjoying it without it getting diluted down. Nice location for some really good drinks. Prices are completely fair for what you are getting.

    Iced VTMatcha

    Drinks are BOMBBB here! Never got a bad drink here before, highly recommend trying their Vietnamese Matcha latte it's a game changer. Service is excellent! Always receiving compliments on my outside and accessories here! Place is a very clean aesthetic, love the sitting area.

    Breakfast Sausage Bowl
    George S.

    Stopped Blk dot coffee and what a treat! We tried the VTM coffee, Jasmine tea macchiato, and breakfast sausage bowl. The VTM was very smooth, strong and flavorful. If you want a lighter drink, but not coffee, the Jasmine macchiato hits the spot. It's flavors very light with just the right amount of sweetness. Now I didn't expect much of breakfast food from coffee spots, but the Breakfast sausage bowl is very flavorful and filling! The house made sausage was so good!! The bowl is filled with potatoes, egg frittata, pico de gallo, and chipotle drizzle. This was a winner! The cafe is pretty spacious with plenty of seating inside and outside. The cafe is kept clean and has merch and coffee for sale. Staff and service were great! Grab a breakfast bowl, drink, and enjoy! Happy Nom Nom!

    Light Vietnamese iced coffee

    Ugh I used to stop at blk dot every time I come up to OC but this is the last straw. Out of sheer principle I can't support a business that charges like $8 for an iced coffee but leaves this much of their cup empty. So bad I had to take a picture. Come on blk dot, you can do so much better than this. Your customers deserve better!

    Their service and their coffee is so amazing and they're five minutes from where I live That's my spot from now on it tasted so good melted in my mouth. Best coffee ever they're at atmosphere is so beautiful.

    Iced VTM Chai Tea Latte  Instagram: @hungrytamale
    Tammy B.

    Uji Matcha Einspänner 8.18/10- made with uji culinary grade matcha latte, cane syrup, sweet foam top, cocoa powder. I always get the Vietnamese iced chai latte with espresso at Blkdot but decided to switch it up and try their matcha. This was pretty good! The matcha had this interesting balance of sweet and bitter - I personally prefer sweet matcha given my sweet tooth. It also had a slightly grainy texture which I'm not the biggest fan of when it comes to matcha, but I still really enjoyed the drink overall. My favorite part was definitely the sweet foam top with cocoa powder. I think Blkdot has the BEST foam toppings ever - they really know what they're doing. The sweet foam with cocoa powder honestly gave the drink this amazing tiramisu-like flavor which actually complemented the subtle hint of bitterness from the matcha perfectly. It also made the drink creamier which I really liked. I honestly think the drink started tasting better after the first few sips as the sweet foam top kind of mixed into the matcha. I normally don't mix my drinks but in this case, it was great! I would get this again but I'll probably stick with my usual Vietnamese iced chai latte with espresso next time (it's too good of an order imo) but this was a nice change of pace and definitely worth trying. Also the service here is incredible! My order always comes out really fast and I like getting work done here as there's a good amount of seating and they're open till later. Instagram: @hungrytamale

    Ultimate Brekkie Bowl
    Natalie J.

    the brekkie bowl is DELICIOUS!!! Got it with corn and the potatoes are crunchy. Matcha's a little watery but still pretty good and topped with cocoa powder

    Yuzu Mango Matcha Latte
    Veda B.

    I really like the yuzu mango matcha latte from here, it's the only thing I order but it's just that good!!! There's little yuzu piece at the bottom and the mango flavor pairs perfectly with the matcha! Only reason it gets 4 stars is bc they add a nondairy creamer to the mango portion of the latte and they remake their matcha in a squeeze bottle. But hey at long as it doesn't affect the taste, that's all that matters!

    Hot honey Avo and Jalapeño bagel with CC and Avo
    Nayiri M.

    Finally tried this place! The Spanish latte was good but nothing special. The breakfast food was great! Tried a jalapeño bagel with cream cheese and avocado. Very good! The bagels are very fresh! The hot honey avocado toast with bacon was also very good. I highly recommend the food!

    Tiffany N.

    I already had a coffee earlier on in the day so I opted to try the Thai tea. It wasn't too bad but it was just okay, nothing too memorable. I did get a sip of my husband's Vietnamese coffee & while it did taste strong, he said it was just okay. The store itself is pretty spacious and nicely decorated though & the guy that helped us was nice

    Avocado Toast
    Malisa R.

    Cute coffee shop down the street from the Newport Villas and Pelican Hill. Known for their Vietnamese coffee and Asian inspired drinks. If that's not your jam, you can get a regular latte or staples like Pumpkin Spice or Peppermint Mocha. My mom and I came here a couple of times during our week getaway to Newport. Love the vibe. Great location. It's a chain and can be found throughout SoCal. Over our week trip we tried the vanilla chai latte, VTM coffee, hot chocolate, and the hot honey oat latte. We tried the avocado toast and hot honey avocado toast too. The hot chocolate was great. Not too sweet. The Vietnamese coffee is strong! There is a regular and liter version in case you need to dial back the caffeine. My mom preferred the pumpkin spice latte over the hot honey latte. The avocado toast was fresh. The bread was thick and fluffy. My mom liked the spice with the hot honey avocado toast. Plus the bacon was a bonus. Love the neutral colors and the vibe with the ocean vibes. Can't go wrong!

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.
