This about 3 times a week. Today, I made the usual, same order and the guy says we can't do it. I haven't seen him before, so I mentioned that I've always ordered it that way. He explains why he can't, I give him a ??? look. He proceeds to tell me perhaps he can do xxx. I tell him, I'm not sure how they do it, but it's always been the same. The reason why I'm leaving this review is because he didn't bother to ask the gal next to him (She takes my order all the time). He didn't even try to ponder if this was a possibility. It's weird that he didn't think there was a 1% chance that this curated coffee shop would ever make any adjustments. Now I'm sitting in my car and my two drinks suck and is way different. I hope he sees me sitting in the car writing this review.

I know there are so many matcha spots popping up all over Orange County, but let me tell you--SIP…read moreis genuinely one of the best cafés around. They've been consistently amazing ever since they opened, and somehow they've only gotten better over time. I honestly enjoy just about every drink on their menu, especially their seasonal specials. My all-time favorite has to be their 2026 Spring Earl Grey Matcha. I was getting it almost every week, and I was genuinely sad when they switched over to their summer menu. Thankfully, they kept the Mango Sticky Rice Matcha, because wow... what a flavor explosion. It's easily one of the best matcha drinks I've ever had, and my friend and I keep coming back just for it. I know it sounds a little adventurous, because it did to me, but when I tried it, it genuinely changed my life (kidding). If mango isn't your thing, I highly recommend either the Double Matcha or the Banana Matcha. The Double Matcha is perfect if you love a strong matcha flavor; you can really taste the quality of the matcha they use. As for the Banana Matcha, I normally don't gravitate toward banana drinks, but SIP completely changed my mind. They use what tastes like a banana pudding instead of artificial banana flavoring, and it blends so smoothly with the matcha that every sip feels balanced and indulgent. The café itself is just as charming as the drinks. The wood paneling gives the space a cozy, retro vibe that makes you want to stay a while, and the staff is always incredibly friendly, patient, and welcoming.

I saw the long line for Airoma and came here immediately…read more First of all, there's plenty of parking, which is always a plus! The space is super cute with such a fun, cozy vibe, and the staff was so kind and welcoming. I especially loved the red gingham decor it gives the whole place the cutest little picnic feel There are a few chairs where you can sit, sip, and chat, but no tables, so I wouldn't really consider this a spot to bring your laptop and work. Now the MATCHA I looooved their matcha with the Earl Grey foam top. OMG... it was phenomenal!! The matcha was earthy, umami, and so well balanced, and the hint of Earl Grey in the foam complemented it perfectly without overpowering the matcha. Such a good combination! I will 100% be coming back for this one!

I truly appreciate them checking in with me, hearing me out, and most importantly, making sure I still felt welcomed back. I've supported NEP for a long time, so having someone personally reach out after my experience really meant more to me than they probably realize. Sometimes it's not about what went wrong, but how a business responds afterward--and this reminded me why I've always had so much love for this place. Thank you again for reaching out and making me feel valued. I'm genuinely looking forward to coming back, enjoying the food again, and continuing to support NEP. It's reassuring to know that even with all their growth, they haven't forgotten about the people who supported them along the way.

I've been coming here multiple times, but this time around, the service was really disappointing…read more The quality of the food has definitely gone downhill, and for a restaurant at this price point, I honestly can't believe there isn't even AC. But the worst part of the experience was finding a hair in my food. I brought it to their attention, and they took the plate back. Instead of making me a fresh dish, they simply removed the hair and brought the same plate back to me. Honestly, I could have done that myself. For the price you pay here, I expected much better service, food quality, and attention to detail. Very disappointed, especially because I've been here several times before and had much better experiences.

I ate the Danish as I waited for the coffee. It was perfectly warm and the combination was great. It was not too sweet and the pastry was soft. The coffee was great and will get me through my day. I ended up getting offered an additional shot of espresso and I am glad I took it. I defintiely would come back and try other pastries or coffees on the menu. Give it a try.

I got the Honey Oat Latte (hot) regular size. I really wanted to like it, but quite honestly the espresso was very acidic. Maybe it was the brew, or the grinds were too coarse, but the first initial taste was very acidic and upsetting to the palette. It could've also been that I got a hot drink instead of iced. I noticed a lot of people were ordering iced drinks instead of hot, so next time I will try an iced drink. Good news is their menu is very extensive! They have so many options of coffee, matcha, and non-caffeinated beverages for everyone. They also have a seasonal menu that changes frequently. Right now they have a pumpkin spice latte for fall. Even though I didn't enjoy the honey oat latte, I haven't been deterred from coming back to this place. I really want to go back and try their different iced beverages and give this place another chance!

This place has quickly become one of my favorite coffee and matcha spots. I've tried several…read moredifferent lattes and matchas here but I have to say that my favorite drink is the classic einspanner. Apart from the delectable drinks, the customer service is top tier. We are always welcomed with a smile and were even told on one visit in particular, "enjoy our time here." Often times, coffee shops make you feel like an uninvited guest. In a world that seems to be rushing around on tight schedules, this coffee shop is a nice and refreshing departure. Bonus stars to Kevin and all the staff who are incredibly hospitable.

Parking was easy to find. It's a shared parking lot with other businesses. Dex Coffee was easy to find and lots of parking available. The Pear Matcha Einspanner was good, but I prefer Coconut Matcha.

I love how strong but creamy and delicious this coffee is. I'm hooked! I am Vietnamese and I approve of this cup of coffee. While I was there I saw their glorious casing of pastries and I couldn't resist. I ordered and enjoyed: 2 Garlic Bread ($5.35/each), Chocolate Croissant ($6.60), Almond Croissant ($6.85), Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread ($4.75) and 2 Macarons ($3.20). Their pastries are fantastic. My boyfriend doesn't enjoy sweets as much as I do so that garlic bread was good for it. The croissants were really flakey and flavorful. I enjoyed the bread. For the macarons I was given a third one as a thanks for all the items I orders and I liked all 3. Yum! Wish I could come back to support the business, especially with their incredible coffee, but I was told that they will be closing on 7/31/26. I'm so sad I didn't discover them sooner. I wish them all the best and hope they re-open in the future.

Their desserts are amazing, but their breakfast burrito with that green sauce? ADDICTION. Straight addiction. The only downside is that this place gets SO busy, especially in the afternoon, that finding a seat can be difficult. Come early if you actually want to sit and hang out. But honestly, there's a reason they're this busy. Every single drink and food item I've tried so far has been a 10/10. I love coming here and will keep coming back.

It's nice that you can order your coffee and then go sit down and have a little buzzer when your coffee is ready. There is an ample amount of seating in here. I just got mine to go, but it was very nice. I got a Matcha and they had almond, oat, and macadamia not milk options I believe if I remember correctly. I was excited to see hojicha on the menu, but was very disappointed to learn that I could only order that iced. It must be something that is premixed. I do like my Matcha unsweetened. It typically does not come that way, but they were able to oblige, and it was very good. Would definitely go back, but please get some Hojicha on the menu that could be served hot!!!

​Food & Selection ​The Good: The food and desserts…read morethemselves taste great, and the overall ambience of the restaurant is pleasant. ​The Issue: The bakery case is rarely stocked properly. Even right at the 7:00 a.m. opening, the selection is only about 25% full, and they consistently run out of the best items by noon. ​Management & Service Decline ​There has been a noticeable shift in management over the last 6 to 9 months. It feels like leadership is focused entirely on "running lean" rather than prioritizing customer service, variety, and satisfaction. Consequently, the restaurant is rarely as full as it used to be, and overall business has visibly dropped off. Additionally, the dining area could use better attention, as the tables are not always clean. ​Drive-Thru & Morning Operations ​Attempting to visit during the morning commute has become consistently frustrating due to a rotating list of operational issues: ​Glitchy and problematic performance with the new app. ​Cones blocking the drive-thru lanes without clear reason. ​Doors failing to open on time, remaining locked past opening time of 7:00 a.m. ​Recommendation: To better serve commuting customers, management should consider moving the opening time to 6:30 a.m.--and crucially, ensure that operations actually begin on time. ​Summary Verdict ​This location used to offer great service and fully stocked cases. It has immense potential to be busy all the time, but management needs to shift its focus away from extreme cost-cutting and back toward building the business and taking care of its customers. I've spoken to several of the employees over the last few weeks and I'm hearing that they keep hearing this from their customer base. Hopefully someone in management will see this and bump things up a notch.

Despite the price increase on their Double Matcha ($8), I can now recommend Airoma FV to my friends who are matcha fans.
