    Lemon pepper bagel. Too delicious not to bite into right away.
    Jamie D.

    Friendly staff. Lots of options on the menu including Starbucks drinks. Cute little cafe in the entrance courtyard of UCI Health Los Alamitos.

    Breakfast burrito with egg, avocado and hash brown. They were very stingy with the hash brown and added an extra ingredient from the avocado :/

    MUST TRY THEIR GYRO! I love gyro's & their gyro was so yummy & really hit the spot. Their tzatziki sauce is none like any other I've tried & it was amazing! It was creamy, tangy, & tastes so fresh with high quality ingredients. Trust me, you can tell the difference compared to other places I've tried. My mouth is watering just thinking about it now. This place is a hidden gem. The ambiance was very relaxing & I cannot explain it, but any stress I had just melted away when I was there. The service was fast & everyone there was super friendly.

    Lemon pepper bagel!

    This place is part of the Los Alamitos Medical Center, it's in the back corner so when you arrive, pull into the street next to the center and park. Quiet, very clean little place. I'm looking at the bagels and I see, lemon pepper. I'm like, what the heck is a lemon pepper bagel? So I order it and you can see from my pic what it is. It was super tasty that morning. I was really hungry that morning too but I brought it back to work with me and ate at my leisure and the entire time, I'm thinking, this bagel's really good!

    Gyro wrap with pasta salad...both were excellent!

    I love Café Niko! They have a wide variety of healthy offerings from sandwiches to Starbucks drinks. Food is always good and made fresh daily; their gyro wrap is a customer favorite! The café itself is very cleaned and the owner is just the best. She welcomes customers with warmth and such joyful countenance! I cannot recommend this place enough.

There was only one person inside studying, and the music was playing softly, making it a comfortable place to relax. The employee greeted me as soon as I walked in and helped me place my order right away since it wasn't busy at all. I asked what their most popular latte was, and he recommended the Biscoff latte. The pastries by the register looked beautiful and delicious, so I decided to try a s'mores bar and a mallow cookie topped with Oreo and Biscoff. Everything I ordered was amazing. My favorite item was the s'mores bar, which was absolutely delicious. The friendly service, relaxing atmosphere, and great food made for a wonderful experience. I will definitely be back.

I love their strawberry matcha and my sister loved their mango matcha. The fruit matchas are definitely on the sweeter side but you can always adjust the sweetness. If you've been wanting to try an iced biscoff latte, I highly recommend trying it from here. It's absolutely delicious and probably my favorite drink there. This is a small coffee shop with minimal seating inside so it can get crowded when busy but you can always order for pickup.

My friends and I were staying at a hotel nearby and decided to make the 15 minute walk over, and it ended up being one of the best parts of the trip. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming. The cashier was incredibly kind and patient, and even though the place was busy, everything moved quickly and smoothly. There were people studying, having conversations, relaxing with friends, and it just had that perfect coffee shop energy that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. The coffee itself was amazing. It tasted smooth, fresh, and honestly addictive without being overpowering. You could tell there was real care put into making it. Some places are overhyped, but this one actually lived up to the feeling people look for when they want a "good coffee shop experience." This is one of those places that becomes part of the memory of a trip. I would genuinely come back to SoCal just to visit this coffee shop again.

    This Review has been WAY TOO OVERDUE…read more I've been coming to this place for a few months, it's my go to if I'm going to finish up work or just not think of anything and enjoy the coffee they have which I must say is REALLY REALLY GOOD, I've had like 70% of their menu and each drink just hits the spot better than the other, Americano? Hits, lattes? HITS HARDER, new drinks like their walnut latte? Oh you bet it's fire. Their VTM coffee tastes very very authentic as well and I'm very obsessed with this place. When you enter and specially in the morning they're usually busy so you do have to stand in the line to order or go straight and pick up the order online if you've made one online. They're very very fast and efficient! Every single time I go Alex always takes good care of me, we're pretty much best friends at this point! On top of that, Kevin and Barbra are also extremely friendly and I really love their attitude in the past few months that I've been going to this place I HAVE NEVER had a bad experience with any of the employees quite the opposite, they actually make the start to my day 10x better! Now the place it self is extremely aesthetic, quite, warm and automatically puts you in the mood for productivity with a peace of mind because of all of the colors around (black, white and grey) I should've left this review a while ago but hey better late than never! Thank you blk dot for these amazing employees and coffee!

The Biscoff Vietnamese Coffee is rich, bold, and full of flavor, while the Biscoff Marble Drip is light, creamy, and absolutely delicious.

If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese coffee, this is the place to go. I'll definitely keep coming back!

It was delicious. The space calls you in to sit down and relax, so I did. Looks family owned. Sweet ladies at the counter. More like cakes in the cooler. I don't see pastries. Good music, soft couches. A pleasant surprise.

I wasn't trying to debate what it should be called. I was just ordering my coffee the way I like it. Instead, the conversation immediately turned into being told I was ordering an Americano and that they were going to charge me for one. The funny thing is I never cared what they charged me. I was happy to pay whatever the price was. I just wanted my coffee made the way I asked for it. It felt like they were more concerned that I might be trying to get away with something than simply making a customer happy. A simple, "No problem, we'll ring it up as an Americano," would have been perfectly fine. Instead, the interaction felt unnecessarily argumentative. Hopefully it was just an off day, but customer service matters just as much as the coffee.

We got sat in the upstairs section all the way in the back, we waited a little over 10 minutes before anyone came to take our drink order. The server saw us seating there at least 3 times before she approached us at the 10 minute mark, I set up a timer and we're getting ready to walk out when she came. We placed our order, we got our drinks (3) but only 2 straws she acknowledge that she needed to get one more straw but didn't come back. Out order came out and we were told the small salad we ordered was being re-done because they had prepared a full size, we cancelled it at that point because the rest of the food was already at the table. The server disappeared and never even brought a refill for me, earlier she had brought a couple of refills, upon request, for the other 2 people in our party but she never followed up with my refill. The fried mozzarella was fantastic, and the chicken noodle soup was good, the pizza was just ok but the pastrami sandwich was disappointing. We paid $24 for a sandwich where half of the filling was fat....not worth it! The pastrami was tasty but some of the pieces were chewy and well check the photo to see the amount of fat served. We spoke to the manager who actively listened to us and apologized but the server just ended up giving us a bad attitude. We will definitely stick to visiting this place for breakfast only and request to be seated in a different section where we know the service is better.
