    Caramel latte with banana cold foam
    Hugo P.

    This one a journey, buckle up lol. So I recently saw a TikTok from one of the owners here talking about being part of "the Kaleidoscope lore." Wasn't totally sure what he meant, but I was curious. He also looked Latino, so naturally I wanted to pull up and support. On this day, I was passing through on my way back from San Diego and I remembered the video. I figured why not stop in. I get to the mall and it immediately felt like the lore he was talking about. The whole place gives major post-apocalyptic shopping center energy. I parked on the first level, which was eerily empty for a Friday, next to a dumpster that had somehow become an indoor water feature courtesy of a leak in the ceiling. "Will my car be okay?" I wondered. I walk into the elevator and quickly realize it's dead. The escalators? Also dead lol. For a second I genuinely thought the power was out. When I got to the main level, I noticed every single store was dark. Baffled, I had to Google the shop just to confirm it was open. Found out it was on the top floor, so I just started climbing, half expecting to find a zombie horde and instead found the entire mall's remaining population in one spot. Phew! To be fair, apparently this mall has been struggling for years. It's not exactly a secret around here you just have to kinda find out the way I did lol. None of that is on Concrete Coffee though, they're just doing their thing inside a building that's had a rough go of it long before they showed up. But honestly, it's worth the trek. The shop itself is cute, bright, and tucked into the front of a small boutique market with a handful of other little shops and eats. The menu was easy to read and the seasonal drinks looked great. The second I saw banana cold foam I knew I was staying awhile. I'm historically weak to a good cold foam. I actually hung around for a bit afterward and watched a steady stream of people pop in the whole time, so whatever's going on with the mall, this shop is clearly doing just fine. At least I hope they are! As it turns out, my cashier was the guy from the TikTok, and we ended up chatting for a bit. He explained the whole "lore" thing and it finally clicked. Shame the shop's stuck inside a building that feels like it's actively being reclaimed by nature, but it's genuinely worth the trip. Parking's free at least!. Despite the mall's rough shape, the staff and drinks here are the real deal and they deserve the support.

    We came to this place on a thursday afternoon and it was pretty empty. The baristas here are super helpful and friendly and the coffee was really good!! At first we couldn't find the coffee place but it was tucked away in this little plaza upstairs at the kaleidoscope. I would definitely recommend if you find yourself in the area:)

    Raspberry matcha & White choco raspberry latte w/ cold foam
    Baylee F.

    First time being in that plaza and it was like a ghost town. None of the elevators worked and it looked almost abandoned. Other than that, the coffee and matcha were great. Once we made it to the actual shop, it was clean and aesthetic inside. There's also other businesses surrounding the coffee shop so you can kill time when waiting for your drink. They were quick to make it because we went earlier in the morning. They had very fun and exciting drink options if you like a signature drink versus a standard latte or cold brew. I would definitely recommend!

    Concrete Coffee *July 3rd, 2026 *9am- Tuesday *4 Stars Environment: *Large Sized Parking Lot *Helpful & Efficient Staff *Indoor Seating *Located in Upper Floor of Mall Area Food/Drinks: *Matcha Americano Always look forward to stopping by this place whenever I'm headed down to visit family. I've been here a few times before and have always enjoyed both their coffee and matcha. This visit, I couldn't decide between the two, so I was excited to see the Matcha Americano on the menu. It's essentially an Americano topped with matcha instead of milk, making it a great option for someone like me who is lactose intolerant. The drink had a nice bold coffee and matcha flavor. I did ended up adding a little honey when I got home since I wanted a little bit of sweetness. I also have to give credit to the service. For a holiday weekend, I was surprised there was only one employee working, especially with a steady line of customers coming in. My drink took a little longer than usual, but considering the barista was taking orders, making drinks, and running the register all by herself, she was incredibly efficient and kept everything moving smoothly. Overall, another great visit, and I'll definitely be stopping by again the next time I'm in the area.

    Double pumpkin spice latte

    Concrete is by far the best beverage spot in OC! They always are coming up with new drinks to offer their customers. José and Jessie are what makes this place so special! They are incredibly kind and upbeat and meet everyone with a joyful smile! Today we got the seasonal flan latte and 2psl. Somehow they always get the flavoring just right!! I love their pumpkin spice lattes because they aren't extremely intense and get the proportions just right! We love concrete coffee and will drive out of our way to get their coffee it's that good!

    Strawberry matcha
    Gwyneth N.

    CONCRETE COFFEE @ KALEIDOSCOPE The strawberry matcha here was super yummy and not bitter at all! The workers seemed nice and it was a cute place just to pick up to go--it is definitely a hole in the wall and you have to look around. Overall would go again!

    Strawberry Matcha with oat milk - $8
    Faith N.

    Like most other reviews of this place, it was hard finding this place at first, but just go to the top floor to the open-concept food hall. The mall itself was pretty dead and almost haunted looking (one of the elevators doesn't work), but this place was pretty good and had a good amount of seating to chill or do work at. WiFi is from the whole mall and wasn't good so I had to use my hotspot. My drink was good and the matcha was decent quality. My only complaint was that the place smelled pretty bad- I overheard a worker explaining that happens on hot days and they were trying to fix it by adding air fresheners

    Vanilla Latte
    Pat M.

    My hot vanilla latte with 2% was perfect. My husband really enjoyed his Americano and said the flavor profile was wonderful.

    Dulce de leche latte, guava shaken espresso
    Olivia Z.

    Super good coffee!! The drinks are on the pricer side but it's so worth because the coffee is perfectly sweet while still being super strong. The cafe is surprisingly difficult to find lol but it's located inside Union Market on the second floor. My friend and I went on a Tuesday morning and there were only one or two other people so we got our orders pretty quickly. I ordered their seasonal guava shaken espresso and my friend ordered their dulce de leche latte. I couldn't really taste the guava but it was a super good basic latte! The dulce de leche was the perfect flavor though with a good balance of coffee flavor and caramel notes. Ratings Guava shaken espresso: 4/5 Dulce de leche latte: 4.5/5

    Risha S.

    I love a coffee shop that doesn't upcharge for milk replacement! I got a dulce de leche iced coffee with oat milk and it wasn't too sweet, which I enjoyed. I went at 10:30am on Tuesday so it was pretty empty, but the cafe is inside a larger market place. It would have been a cute spot to walk around if more things were open.

    Something for everyone! Coffee, matcha, and lemonade. I've been visiting since they were a pop-up. They are the kindest duo, and listen to their customers and work very hard to make a great product! They are currently located in an open space, inside of the kaleidoscope shopping center.

    Strawberry matcha
    Mona A.

    My cousin and I started our morning at Concrete Coffee before pilates. Service was fast and really friendly. We got the strawberry matcha and a cocoa puff latte with half sweetness. Both were delicious. What stood out most was the space. It's on the top floor of a mostly empty shopping center, but the cafe itself is huge. High ceilings, lots of light, and a bunch of long tables that make it such a good place to post up with a laptop. Honestly one of the better setups I've seen for studying or getting work done. Plenty of room to spread out, easy parking, and a pretty calm atmosphere. Heavy laptop work vibes here

    Got to try the Strawberry Matcha and my cousin ordered the Coco Puff Latte. The matcha was strong so beware if you like your matcha sweeter. The strawberry was fresh and had real strawberry in it. Everything was closed when I went on a Sunday so it did look and feel a little empty, but the drinks were great and service was pretty quick.

We also ordered a simple ham and cheese omelette, served with a side of their sliced baguette -- again assuming was fresh baked, because it was delicious. Simple dish, done right, which honestly says a lot about a kitchen. But the danishes stole the show. We grabbed a few to try, and the blueberry one was outstanding -- like, stopped-mid-conversation-to-comment-on-it good. Not overly sweet, good fruit-to-pastry ratio, perfect texture. Ariana helped us and was an absolute sweetheart -- even let us sample a pastry we were debating on before we committed. That kind of thing goes a long way, especially when you're trying to decide between six things that all look amazing in the case. Atmosphere was great too, comfortable spot to sit and eat instead of just grab-and-go. Will definitely be back to work through the rest of the pastry case. 10/10.

    Extremely Disappointing Service -- It's About the Principle…read more We ordered a tuna brioche sandwich and were asked whether we wanted a salad or fries. I clearly said fries. When I received the bill, I noticed I had been charged separately for the sandwich and a side of fries. Since we were sharing the sandwich, I asked for it to be cut in half. After having to ask again, the sandwich finally arrived on a small plate. We then had to ask for a second plate so we could each have our own. The entire experience felt unnecessarily complicated and showed a real lack of attention to basic customer service. After waiting more than half an hour, we asked about the fries we had ordered and already paid for. Instead of simply checking the order, the server asked to see my receipt, which made me feel as though he was questioning whether I was telling the truth. After some time, he returned and admitted that he had made a mistake when charging us. He explained that what I had paid for the fries was actually the full price of the sandwich, and if we still wanted fries, we would have to pay for them again. The fries were only $2, so this was never about the money. What was upsetting was the principle. You made the mistake, not the customer. I had already left approximately a 20% tip, and I simply expected the restaurant to honor the mistake rather than come back and ask me for another $2. When I pointed this out, I was told the manager would not allow it. Honestly, the $2 mistake cost you a customer. I will not return, and I would not recommend this place. It's not about the price of the fries--it's about how you make your customers feel. After spending our money here and leaving a good tip, I expected to feel that our business was appreciated. Instead, I left feeling that it simply wasn't.

I ordered an iced sea salt jasmine tea (large). I ordered through their website on my way there. When I went in to pick it up, the jasmine tea was waiting in the fridge for me and they topped it with the sea salt foam right before they handed it over, so that the foam would be nice and fresh. Once they add the foam it starts slowly blending with the tea, so I think it's nice that they make it fresh like that. I ordered 25% sweet tea, and it was just right. Honestly I bet even unsweetened would have been good too. The jasmine tea has a very strong floral taste, more so than other jasmine teas I've had at other places, which I think offsets some of the need for sweetness, and the sea salt foam was actually quite sweet as well. It was sweeter foam than 85C Bakery, which is my other go-to place. I enjoyed my drink and I thought the amount of foam they put on top was great (I like a lot of foam). The coffee/tea shop itself seems pretty nice. Although I didn't stay or order food, they do have a nice seating area where I saw a lot of people on their computers, and they have food items on their menu too.
