Penny was nice, friendly & answered all of my questions. Drinks are made surprisingly fast, and if you order pastries, they bring them right out to your table. I tried the Vanilla Bean coffee & was genuinely impressed. Not only was it beautifully crafted & absolutely stunning to look at, but it was also delicious. You can tell they put a lot of care into every drink they make. Looking forward to coming back & trying other drinks! Definitely a spot worth checking out!

Parking, however, due to the other popular neighboring restaurants can pose a challenge. There was a line forming, but it goes by quickly and the drinks seem prebatched to save time. Even if that was the case, their drinks are amazing. My recommendations are their Double Matcha, Matcha Einspanner, and their Pandan Coffee. All are excellent choices and the sweetness level is a good ratio for me. I kept my matcha at a regular sweetness and it was perfect. Any less, the bitter taste may be too strong for me, so I enjoyed it. The service was fast, and the matcha was definitely up to my standard. I would highly recommend Airoma for your matcha and coffee fix!

I've been to other locations of Moongoat Coffee Roasters, and I continue to be a fan of the brand…read morebut this location was slightly less satisfying than the products I had at their other locations. The location has plenty of parking and plenty of seating. There is an outdoor patio, and inside there is a first floor seating area, and a second floor seating area. The interior had high ceilings and modern practical decor. Staff will take your order at the cashier, but they also have a kiosk if you want to avoid human interaction. I was here for a few hours, so I started off with a hot beverage since I saw that they have mug service. I had the hot Churro Latte ($8.15/large) and I was warned it's a bit sweet so staff suggested that I get it less sweet. I appreciated the gesture but maybe that's why I didn't taste too much of the churro flavor. It tasted like a good regular latte but maybe they held back on the caramel and cinnamon to the point I couldn't detect it. Seating is first come first serve. It was actually really busy and difficult to find an ideal spot. Since I was alone I sat at a high top ledge, strategically near an outlet. From what I saw, they had a really good amount of outlets in the indoor seating area. Later on I went back and ordered an iced Blueberry Lavender Matcha with Cold Foam ($9.25/large) and a Deluxe Avocado Toast ($15) which comes with egg, bacon, and herb oil. I like that this location serves the avocado toast with a knife and fork cause it was much needed. It was a bit on the wet side. Maybe I should ask for light herb oil next time. For how much this avocado toast cost, I would have liked more avocado. The avocado was more of a spread, not whole slices of avocado. Still good, just an observation. The blueberry lavender matcha was okay. I could taste the lavender but it was overpowering the matcha and the blueberry was hard to detect at all. Honestly the location and plentiful seatings is what stood out most from this experience. I would consider coming back since I know their products are good from trying their other locations but I wouldn't get the drinks I ordered this time. For how expensive coming here was, I wish I was a little more satisfied.

Delicious seasonal matcha! I loved their iced cherry matcha (Spring seasonal item): iced ceremonial…read morematcha with a cherry cream top AND dried cherry bits inside. Full sweetness (agave) was delightful and did not feel overly sweet. Seemed like they use 3 or 4 g of matcha, but not sure (was at least more than 2g). Oat milk is only 50 cents extra, but I got regular milk (I think they use 2%). Interior was clean, forest green and had luxurious leafy vibes with 4 or so tables of 3. There is a bathroom, oddly with a bidet. Located in an older strip mall with varied food offerings. Plenty or parking on a weekday midday. BEWARE: google maps takes you to an alley in back, so just go around the block to the other side. I see why this place was on a reel for top iced matchas in OC. Would recommend, and would like to come back to try the mango matcha latte or even just for this cherry matcha again!

I saw that they recently switched to a new powder so I wanted to try. They claim to be using Rocky's matcha, but I used Rocky's matcha at home and it tastes nothing like this! My double matcha tasted like pure grass and was very gritty. I'm not even sure what made it a double matcha because there was no matcha cream or anything on top. So I paid $8 for a bland grassy cup of milk. Cuptopia PLEASE go back to your old matcha ***Edit because that response from the owner is wild hahaha I guess the customer service isn't that great. I did not make a single rude comment about your shop or anything even remotely close to ruin anyone's reputation. All I said was that the matcha blend has downgraded because it has. Yelp is here to share honest opinions and that was mine. And obviously I don't know what was said or ordered because I WAS NOT THERE. He just dropped it off and made no mention of matcha cream not being available, either way $8 is way too expensive for a matcha this quality. I never once said I want to do a collab with your shop he was probably just trying to support me and my page because I enjoy making content and run a fun little matcha page. I have actually made a video/post in the past expressing how much I enjoyed your shop and matcha and it's still accessible on my page but probably not after this interaction. Very odd and rude response for a simple review:/ all I said was the old matcha was better....sorry that struck a nerve.

Airoma is absolutely worth going out of the way for. This was some of the best matcha I've had in…read morequite a while. The quality really stood out right away, from the vibrant color to the smooth, phenomenal flavor. It tasted rich and properly earthy without being bitter or overly sweet. The ube latte was also amazing. The ube flavor was actually prominent and true to ube, not lost behind the milk or espresso like it is at so many other spots. It is surprisingly hard to find an ube latte that gets that balance right, but Airoma absolutely does. The space itself is super modern, spacious, and easy to picture yourself staying at for a while. It would be great for studying, getting some work done, or just hanging out with friends. Service was good and everything came out smoothly, with nothing especially notable either way. This place is pretty out of the way for me, but you can definitely expect me to be back soon.

Sometimes the lines are way too long and I would love to just order online and pick up later

However, I had errands to run after work and this was the only coffee shop in the area that was open before 7:30 AM which was perfect for me since I get off work at 7 AM. I got to Arc a little after 7:15 AM and they were slammed with orders (mostly online/phone). I ordered the following: **Goth Latte: Opted to get oat milk but I forgot to adjust my sweetness level. That nutty vanilla flavor with the activated charcoal was amazing. One of the most flavorful lattes I've had by far that isn't too complex. (5/5) **Iced Americano: Solid Americano. It had the perfect balance of acidity which is hard to find these days. (5/5) One thing I'm not a big fan of is how huge the ice cubes are. Also, this place is not ideal for studying because the music is really loud. Parking is quite small but you shouldn't have a problem if you come early in the morning. The service was rushed but very friendly. I can imagine how busy this shop can get during the late morning/afternoon. I would consider ordering online if I decide to come here again after work.

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.

Phin Smith is my parents' backyard and every time I visit them, I contemplate visiting. Located on…read moreMain Street of Garden Grove, Phin Smith is the original Vietnamese coffee shop that first developed there and made a name for itself. Parking is difficult on weekends; you'll have to park in the lot next door and cross the brick road. The interior is lovely. There's a Vespa located out in front, too. Very Vietnamese culture driven! When I first came to Phin Smith, a friend had to teach me what to do. It can be overwhelming for first time patrons. You come inside and you get in line towards the left side. This gives you a bit of time to look at the menu, and decide what you want. Every year, they've extended their menu and added new teams. My fiancé noted they had a new tonic this time around. After barista will ask for the next guest once they are ready. You walk up to this long counter and give them your order. They will ask for what size and any other customizations if applicable. You then, stand towards the island to make room for other people. The barista will make your drink and call for you when it's done. You grab your drink, and walk forward to the back center, where there is a cashier. You pay for your drink and that's it! I always, always get their banana coffee. I try banana coffee from other cafes, but nothing quite beats Phin Smith's banana coffee. It's the banana coffee of my dreams and I crave it all the time. It's fantastic. I will absolutely be back to get a banana coffee fix again!
