    Excited that there's a coffee spot on the campus now that we're in office more! Commons is inside of Fooda in building 5. Solid coffee menu and they had a few pastries out too. Service was quick. There was only 1 worker and they made drinks after each order and it was quick.

    Made their espresso in a plastic cup. Hot coffee melting into plastic. Such a carcinogen, had to throw out the coffee to save myself.

    I get the hype! Airoma Cafe constantly ranks high on the list of best matcha spots in Southern…read moreCalifornia. The cafe is cute with a small number of interior tables. They are located in the same plaza as Brodard, Vox Kitchen, Rol Handbar, etc. in Fountain Valley. This location is open later than the other Airoma. They use ceremonial matcha which makes a huge difference. I ordered the strawberry matcha latte (74% sweet) after trying one previously in LA. I paid and waited for my order to be ready. After a few minutes, I received my order. I shook it up and tried it. Delicious! Even better than I remembered. My husband who doesn't usually enjoy matcha, tried it and liked it. He does not dig the earthy taste, but this drink changed his perspective. Airoma made my husband a believer in matcha. We do not usually go out too often for matcha, but when I'm in the mood next, this place will be a must visit. I'll have to try their egg coffee in the future too.

She assured me that Airoma does not serve gritty matcha. I was worried about the line, so I ordered ahead. Great choice, because I didn't have time to stand in the line that had already formed! My Double Matcha was ready when I arrived, and I am happy to report that there was no gritty sediment! I will be coming here for my future matcha fixes!

I loved the large painting on the wall depicting the rugged old west with a cow boy having a cup of coffee by the fire in the mountains. They have Different types of seating arrangements. The interior is modern with a comfortable lighting scene and wrap around floor to ceiling windows. They also have a large patio with more seating. I also noticed a fire place and a Television outside. Aside from their great coffee and Tea menu, they offer daily pastries, refreshments, small bites and coffee bean bags to go. I had the Horchata Latté with oat milk (available hot or cold). It was really good. It is made with 2 shots of their signature espresso with a house-made horchata syrup or base, steamed or iced milk, and a dusting of cinnamon. You could taste the quality of the coffee. It was really good. The coffee was a little strong. The service was great and prices are average. I really enjoyed hanging out in their shop with friends. They have several locations.

The cashier said their pistachio latte and Spanish latte are the most popular! Service: The servers are so kind and asked each customer how they were doing and even had tips on how to enjoy each drink. For their tonics, they serve these drinks without a straw as that way, the taste is better! You can tell they're truly passionate about coffee/tea! Ambiance: The ambiance is nice as Cassel Earth is located inside a business center, and there's many tables to sit at and study/work. Parking: There is paid parking for this complex at $6/hour. Cassel Earth does provide one hour of parking validation for each item you buy. For example, I bought one drink and then went back and bought another, and they gave me two parking validation slips. There is a clean, spacious bathroom and tables outside as well! Other than the slight inconvenience of the paid parking, this has to be the best matcha and coffee in OC! Please try especially for a quick coffee/tea run (that way you can use your one hour parking validation!)!

Friendly staff, quick service, and a great place to work/study. The only downside is that the bathroom situation is a little weird because it is in a corporate park . but honestly, so worth it to go just make sure you park in the one hour parking!!

    Food: I ordered their coconut, vanilla matcha, one of their seasonal drinks, and it was really good…read morewith strong coconut flavor if you like that! However, more that the drinks, what makes Wall Writers Coffee special is their beautiful study/work space! Service: The employee taking my order was so nice and had such a nice small talk conversation with the customer in front of me about their tattoos! The drink also came out extremely fast (in less than five minutes)! Ambiance: The study/work area is so nice with so many tables inside and work areas, including swings, outside! There is free Wi-Fi, which they write at the end of their glass serving window. My only feedback would be that it's a little difficult to use the restroom, as you take a key card from the front of the cafe and scan it at another building across to use. Think it could be helpful if they would put out a few more key cards. Otherwise, such a wonderful study/work space, and I will definitely be back for the security that I can find a seat! You can even come a bit later in the morning and find seating, especially outside. Parking is easy, as there are many free, unmarked spots in front of the cafe. Lastly, the cafe is located under the OneDigital building, and you know you're there because there are string lights on top! Please come here for a reliable study/work spot! Also, their hours are from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM everyday, so come early if you can. Hope you try this place out!
