    I'm in love with this spot! All of their ingredients are so high quality! Their matcha was incredible, the staff is very kind and I love how they offer both indoor and outdoor seating! Check out my instagram @morganxmatcha for the full review!!

    This place fills your cup with ice and pours maybe 2 oz of actual beverage. They sell Costco croissants for $10. They don't use gloves, so the hands that wash and take out trash are the same hands that touch your food.

    Peanut Butter Smoothie, chai latte
    Josh H.

    I ordered the peanut butter smoothie, chai latte with vanilla, blueberry muffin, international grilled cheese, and an avocado toast. The Peanut Butter smoothie was very good, it had a good consistency and flavor was great. If you don't like overly powered peanut butter then this would be perfect, but myself I wish there was an option on the menu for an extra scoop of peanut butter. I'm sure they'll do it if you ask, the staff was very friendly! The chai latte was great as well, I customized mine with multiple things so it will most likely taste different than most but im sure regardless it will be good. The international grilled cheese was very good, I personally don't like a ton of bread, and the bread on this was light, crunchy, and tasty. I would definitely recommend to order this. The Avocado toast was okay, there was a good amount of avocado which was the best part about it. I wish they put lemon pepper seasoning on it for more flavor. Also the bread is pretty basic, I wish it was more toasted. Overall it's not bad, but does not stand out compared to other cafes. The blueberry muffin was good, pretty comparable to most cafes, I would recommend to order if you're craving it, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. The ambiance is nice and clean, good music, plenty of seating for studying. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. I would definitely recommend to stop by here for your next study session.

    Cute cafe with good food and drinks! I got the croissant with ham and added spinach and it was a delicious breakfast. My boyfriend also really enjoys their cold brew.

    breakfast burrito, strawberry smoothie, and strawberry matcha

    Ok wait this place is one of my regulars to study and get coffee bc it's actually really good and the staff are so friendly. I would gatekeep but that's messed up.

    ceremonial matcha latte
    Jenny C.

    I ordered the ceremonial matcha latte on the kiosk and it took quite a while to come out. There were few people studying here so it's definitely more of a study spot than socializing spot. The matcha latte tasted more milky and I couldn't really taste the matcha. Maybe I'd try their other drinks next time. Ambiance was very quiet and spacious.

    This is such a cute coffee shop! It feels very comfortable and every one there was super friendly. I got the golden milk tea. It's prepaid so I could adjust the sugar levels. In general, I don't like sugary drinks so this was too sweet for me but I did think the tea itself tasted really good. I also got a chocolate scone. They warmed it up for me and it was delicious. It was the perfect ratio of chocolate chips to scone. This is a great place to stop by and grab a cup to go or sit and work for a bit. They had plugs and wifi and you could easily find a nice area to sit in to work.

    Avocado Toast

    Their avocado toast was so flavorful and fresh. It was super good! def recommend this place :) cozy ambiance as well!

    breakfast burrito
    Tricia N.

    Came here before going to the office for a little pick-me-up on a rainy day. It's a cute and cozy cafe in Fullerton with a variety of coffees, teas, and sandwiches in their menu. Ordered a breakfast burrito and Kyoto Cold Brew with oat milk. Kyoto cold brew (I chose the Intentional Blend I believe) was pretty decent, it's very smooth and goes well with the oat milk, no sweetener needed imo. As for the burrito, I really wanted to modify it with no onions and peppers but the mix of the burrito is premade apparently. I decided not to be a big baby and ordered it and it was really delicious and tasty especially with the salsa. It was definitely the pick-me-up I needed this morning. As for the service, the man in the front (may be the owner but I am not sure) was very friendly and made sure that all orders of customers were taken care of and came out timely. I was in and out within about 8-10 mins which isn't bad for someone who ordered a big breakfast burrito haha. Will definitely be back here to try other things from their menu!

    Absolutely loved my visit. I ordered the Masala chai tea and it was incredibly flavorful.. the perfect balance of spice + sweetness, easily one of the better chai teas I've had in the area. Thoughtful little details that stood out, were the matcha tea whisks displayed on the shelf, a small touch, but it added a lot to the overall aesthetic and made it feel like they really care about quality and presentation. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely a great spot for a quick pick me up!! Will be coming back!

    Outside seating
    Jeremy L.

    It's a specialty coffee shop with the intention of serving exceptional coffee, tea, pastries, brunch, and desserts. They aim to be intentional with more than just coffee, but also with their service, conversation, and community. The staff is friendly and they do love conversations. Very fast with service, and they definitely get a sporadic burst of customers. Plenty of seating here, but what I love is that the conversations are louder, (but not too loud) than the music, it really shows the community here. I ordered the Madagascar Vanilla Latte, the Madagascar Vanilla syrup is made in house, no artificial flavors here. The coffee is so smooth, and flavorful, I loved it and also the foam artwork! I love this place, I would definitely come back.

    Played jenga in the coffee shop
    Breana M.

    Super cute and quaint spot for meetups or casual dates. It's perfect for small groups, also. The Thai tea was a banger & my bf ordered the matcha which was also tasty! The barista was sweet and answered all our questions prior to ordering. They don't have a grand menu but the drinks we ordered were on point. We'll be back!

    Brilliant coffee. They will answer any questions you have. Patio seating. Good for to go orders. Comfortable.

    I've been here before when it was possibly under different management? Stopped by for shaved ice…read moreand matcha. They now have outdoor seating right outside the store which is nice since the indoor seating seems a bit too crowded and cramped. I think they're trying to cram too many tables inside for seating. The strawberry shaved ice looked good but it was a bit too sweet with the strawberry syrup. It comes with quite a bit of strawberry but I preferred it more when it didn't have as much syrup and condensed milk. The matcha latte was not good. Sorry, but I won't be ordering that again. But the two stars has to do with what happened at the counter. When I got my shave ice, I asked for 3 small bowls so that we could share and not have to dig from the same bowl. The girl at the counter came out with 3 small bowls which were perfect. But after she handed it to me a gentlemen, presumably the owner and manager came out and told her that the bowls were not meant to be provided and a that she was to use cups instead. He took the 3 bowls, went into the back, I heard rinsing of water and he came out with two wet clear plastic cups and a larger bowl than the 3 small bowls. I didn't get it. But that whole interaction just ruined the visit. Needless to say, why would you rinse off 2 small clear cups unless the cups were dirty to start with and you're reusing them? If you're the owner or management, I hope you take note of how something this small could affect how a customer perceives your business. You should've just let us use the 3 small bowls and talked to your employee behind the scenes. And get better cups/bowls if you don't want to let people use good bowls.

    Am I the only one thinking this place is way overpriced?…read more Over $13 for a smaller than your palm sized dessert. I understand it's a trend to try beautiful dessert m, but it feels like the customers curiosity is taken advantage of the TikTok Trend. I think the mango one is $15 One time purchase to satisfy the curiosity, but I find it hard to come back for another bite. I ordered the chocolate covered strawberry cream/cake dessert. The red chocolate on the outside was too thin and was breaking into to many pieces. You DEFINITELY don't get that crunch sound you hear on social media. Too thin. The cream inside was not the right temperature, making the milk cream taste almost gamy. I question the quality of the ingredients. My guess is loaded ingredients. If I am paying $13 for a small dessert, I really hope I get the highest grade dairy, chocolate, jelly, etc. My overall experience was disappointing.
