It's nutty, creamy, and quite strong honestly. I'm not usually a mango person, but I really enjoyed their mango matcha latte. I love that all their drinks that have fruit in them use real fruit puree that they make in-house! And don't leave without grabbing one of their pastries! If you love a good soft cookie, definitely get the smores bar or chewy Biscoff mallow cookie. Thanks for reading! ^-^

There isn't much seating in the shop so can get crowded during peak times. Ordered the following: Biscoff Latte Matcha Einspanner Strawberry Matcha Latte Lemon Bar Mallow Cookies I personally really liked both the matcha einspanner and the biscoff latte. You can taste the coffee plus that slightly sweetness from the biscoff. Also loved their pastries, really liked the lemon bar and mallow cookies! Overall, Haru Cafe is such a cute spot when you are in a mood for a variety of drinks plus something sweet. Definitely would love to come by again.

Coffee & has been on my list for a while, so I finally decided to give it a try! I got the Double…read moreMatcha, and I actually really enjoyed it. The matcha flavor came through really well, and it had a good balance of sweetness without overpowering the matcha itself. I also tried the Dubai Chewy Cookie because I was curious about the flavor. It was good and definitely fun to try, but personally, I don't think I would pay $8 for it again. For the price, I was expecting a little more from it. Overall, I enjoyed the matcha and would definitely come back for the drinks! The cookie was nice to try once, but the Double Matcha was definitely the highlight for me.

As a barista, I can honestly say Coffee & is one of my favorite matcha spots of all time!…read more My personal favorite is their Banana Pudding Matcha. I know banana isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea because it has such a distinct flavor, but I really love how they construct this drink. You can genuinely taste the banana, and I love that it seems like they use real banana rather than that artificial banana flavor you get at some other cafés. It makes such a difference! I've also tried their coffee, and it's really good! Their coffee has a nice, strong flavor and doesn't taste watered down at all. I feel like they're probably more known for their matcha, but their coffee definitely deserves some love too. I've tried matcha from a lot of different places, including spots in LA, and while everyone has their own preferences, if you're in the Orange County area, I would definitely recommend giving Coffee & a try. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but personally, this is one of my favorite cafés. It has that cute little hole-in-the-wall feeling where you find a place that you just want to keep coming back to. The service is also amazing! Everyone I've interacted with has been super nice and welcoming, which honestly makes the experience even better. As for the pastries, they're really good too! They'll warm them up for you, and they have the cutest cookies that look like little cartoon characters. They sometimes have seasonal cookies as well, which I think is such a cute touch. Overall, I really love how much personality this café has. If you're a matcha lover in OC, I definitely recommend stopping by and trying it for yourself!

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.

For a small shop, this cafe is busy with a line outside the door. There is limited seating indoors…read moreand the line can look intimating but it moves quick. They offer both coffee and matcha. We tried their OG egg vietnamese coffee and pandan matcha (no changes) to see how sweet they are. Their vietnamese coffee was strong and good but did not notice anything unique about it. The pandan matcha had a lovely note of vanilla from the pandan. It was a little too sweet for me, would recommend 75% or 50%. The nice thing is you can request a shot of coffee for free. No milk subs but oat milk is used for the matcha drinks.

Upon entering, there is a cafe area where you order your drinks, and I got the brown sugar boba milk. The drink was pretty decent, the boba was sweet but definitely could have been softer, and the salty top was delicious. This cafe also has a surprising amount of depth to it as well. You can leave the first small cafe area, and they have both outdoors and a separate back indoors area. The separate back room was nice and quiet, perfect for getting work done. The service was super quick as well! I got my drink within a few minutes of ordering it at the counter.

For some reason, the image of Brad Pitt drinking at the cafe in Spy Games came to mind. The folks here are friendly and the space is pretty tiny, but there's some seating available. Now, I can't exactly remember what I ordered, but it was either the tea or coffee, and it came with a side of dates. But it did give me a pick me up later in the day and a nice natural sweet snack. I also ordered a slice of one of their delicious saffron milk cakes, which was great with the beverage. Just a really cool spot.

However, what they lack in seating capacity they very well make up for it in quality and taste. They offer THE BEST Yemeni Coffee I've tried so far in So. Cal. Upon asking they told me that they get the beans from Yemen from their own source. Their teas and desserts (milk cakes etc.) are also as good as you can get at any Yemeni tea/coffee place.

Their salt bread is actually insane and the end bits with all the butter bunched up is crazy. The cookie salt bread is basically the sweet version and that is amazing as well.

For drinks, I love the banana matcha & hojicha. I've only visited on weekdays & I've heard this place can attract huge lines on the weekends so be prepared to wait during busier hours. Parking is limited on the side of the café, but there's a paid lot nearby & parallel/street parking. There's also a small bathroom tucked around the corner near the parking lot, but you'll need to ask for the code. I'd only use it if necessary, as it's a public bathroom & unfortunately isn't the cleanest. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the drinks, bread & cute atmosphere!

Ya boy has been around the block for a hot minute so I've been to my fair share of coffee shops. If anyone dares speak any slander on this fine establishment, I am ready to defend its honor. I have legit gone here for the past couple months religiously. I have tried every single drink on the menu that is not matcha. I have never had a drink that I would consider anything below a 9/10. You really can't go wrong with any of the drinks here because they will happily remake your drink if it's not one that's perfect. Second, the service here is second to none. The entire staff is so friendly and professional. Special shoutout to the great sensei Vicky. She always makes sure we feel welcome and taken care of. Not even exaggerating, I usually get two coffees here. I get one, go to Costco, then come back for another. Real talk. No bs. anyways. go getyaself one. I especially like the Peanut Butter Coffee and the Vanilla Cold Brew... and the Dustino... I really like the banana coffee too... they make a mean @ss dirty chai. I swear the list goes on and on.

I'll definitely be coming back for another Iced Vanilla Latte.
