Great service and great drinks! Staff is very efficient and on top of orders. Parking is the structure is very easy and they give validation if needed ! The seating area outside with all the fountains is so peaceful and pretty! read more

Parking is in the structure and they validate for 90 minutes. I tried the "Thank You Berry Matcha" which is a matcha latte with strawberry oat milk ($7). Overall, a pretty decent drink but I wish the matcha was stronger. The strawberry oat milk was very subtle but still complimented the matcha well. I'll be back to try their other drinks. The area has a lot of outdoor seating and service was fine. I saw lots of people studying or catching up with their friends. read more

My favorite coffee spot of all time. I recently moved out of OC & I miss it so much ! When I am in the area I stop by to grab an iced coffee. The "Strawberries Wild Latte" (iced) is my favorite. The strawberry cold foam is delicious. Their "Smashed Avocado on Toast" is also my favorite. I always order it when I go. The avocado is fresh & has that lemony taste which I love. I high recommend KIT Coffee ! read more

KIT Coffee - Strawberries Wild Latte (iced) & Smashed Avocado on Toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

this location is the weaker of the two kits. I gave the cashier specific instruction: that I would like a Matcha with water with just a tiny drop of oat milk. I said I would like to be able to taste the Matcha and not the milk, it's the kiss of death. First of all, they measure their Matcha-- It is a Matcha concentrate that they measure with a scale. normally, I wouldn't complain or even care about that but the matcha I received would extremely water down and heavily milky for only a "drop ". I asked them to pour a little bit more Matcha in there or we can remake the drink whatever it's easier for them. They poured a little bit more Matcha in it, but it still tasted like all milk.. gross . I want to be able to taste the Matcha, not the milk. I don't know if it is because it's watered down and concentrated or if it's because they're so chintzy with it. either way, they are playing with me . i've only ever had amazing experiences at the Newport Beach location, so I thought this one would be the same. Not the case. read more

THE NICE PART is the workers WERE HAPPY & you could tell they were having fun at work!!! LOVE IT! We WILL RETURN!!!! read more

There's a parking structure where you can park and the coffee shop will validate parking. I got the Strawberry Alarm Clock and it was really sweet. I tasted the strawberry flavor, but it was a bit too sweet for me. The drink also came out to be small (it seemed like a 12oz or something). I was confused because it didn't seem like they had different sizing options, but the photos posted by other Yelpers with the same drink had bigger-sized coffee. So maybe I'd ask them about the sizing. Recommendation(s): - Strawberry Alarm Clock (but it's really sweet) Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - They validate parking if you park in the structure - Ask them about sizing options read more

KIT Coffee - Strawberry Alarmclock - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

Excellent coffee menu, and amazing outdoor seating areas, excellent on nice sunny days!

Make sure you tip before service here or they'll mess up your milk preference that you paid an extra dollar for. All in $9 for a latte that causes lactose intolerance flare-ups isn't worth it. Other than that the design of the place is nice and the complex is great. Parking is a little nuts. read more

I absolutely love this place. It gets crowded sometimes in the afternoon because most employees around there like to go for coffee chat and break. The baristas are all really friendly and they know how to make your drink good. My all time favorite is the Thank You Berry Matcha because I am a strawberry person. It has the perfect amount of sweetness to it. Their breakfast bacon is also fire. It is nicely compacted and won't make a mess when you bite into it. Plus it has really excellent flavors and is not oily like the usual burrito. My ranking of all the drinks I have tried: 1) Thank You Berry Matcha 2) Matcha Latte (not pictured) 3) Boysenberry Matcha 4) Purple Dream 5) Strawberry Alarm Clock 6) Lavender Field If I want something healthier or on the less sweet side, I would get matcha latte or boysenberry matcha. Honestly I wouldn't get anything below rank 4 again. The strawberry alarm clock is really sweet, partially due to I ordered hot. The lavender field is ok, not too sweet, but I just not a fan of lavender. PS. If you get Thank You Berry Matcha with 15% sweet, it basically tastes like matcha with oat milk. I didn't taste any strawberry flavor LOL read more

SUPER cute coffee shop in Irvine! KIT, which is short for Keep In Touch, was an adorably pleasant find in a rather industrial section of Irvine. But don't let that or the parking structure fees deter you! KIT validates and the atmosphere (both inside and out) is charming! When you walk out from parking, you are greeted by an open courtyard and a pretty water structure. There's plenty of seating outside, so if you can't find seating inside you'll definitely be happy sitting outdoors. There inside is serene and modern! Lots of cute Knick knacks to purchase from stickers to cards to branded t-shirts. There are beautiful pastries, along with a baby filled with brunch options. We came strictly for coffee and it didn't disappoint! I asked for a Matcha Latte with no sugar but added stevia (since I'm currently on Keto) and it was PERFECT! My daughter loves her strawberry and oat milk latte as well! We'll definitely be back to order food- everything looked amazing! Definitely give KIT a try the next time you're in the area!!! read more

Kitmas latte: 4/5 got it half sweet and it was perfect but can't justify $8 for it Lavender fields: 4/5 yum but matcha is not that strong Make sure to ask for parking validation, 90 minutes free. Good place for a quick study sesh, little seating inside but a lot outside. read more

KIT Coffee - Kitmas latte, lavender fields - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

it was good! the matcha taste can be fleeting, so i hope the matcha base can be just a bit stronger and it will really be perfect- or reduce the milk portion to complement the matcha better. ambience wise, nobody warned me how many corporate workers and finance bros would be sitting there LOL. it was nice outside too. It's not ideal to study overall because there's no power outlets outside and rare public wifi read more

I love KIT coffee!! Ever since I first came here, I come here weekly, not even joking. I love love love their strawberry matcha, it's so refreshing and just so good!! Their avocado toasts are also so delish and they have a lot of options! I also love this area that they are located in because there is a lot of seating and the water outside is so soothing. Everyone is super nice & friendly and make sure to ask them for parking validation!! read more

Nice looking, clean place. The folks behind the counter were really friendly and the drinks came out quickly. Both were pretty tasty. I got one of the current specials called the "Golden Hour" and it had a nice spicy creamy flavor. My wife got the "Purple Dream" and it was pretty good, but not as good as mine. Ha. Parking was easy since it's a huge parking structure next to the office buildings. Would definitely go here again when I'm in the area. read more

KIT Coffee - purple dream and golden hour - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

What a lovely find! It's tucked away in a business center, so a bit inconvenient, and we did have to pay for parking in the structure. That being said, the coffee, Matcha, and breakfast burritos were insanely good. We tried a strawberry milk Matcha, crème brûlée iced latte, pumpkin pie latte, and oat milk latte and all were phenomenal be warned. The breakfast burritos are huge and very filling, but very delicious. I would recommend sharing unless you are starving. Overall, great experience, a bit on the pricey side, but service and ambience, food and drinks were all great. read more

I just found my favorite coffee shop in Irvine. I got the strawberry matcha with the strawberry foam as a double matcha and it tasted heavenly. It is a seasonal flavor I believe and another drink I can recommend is the boysenberry latte. This cafe is located in a business complex and there is a parking structure but you are able to get your parking validated before you leave. read more

Absolutely LOVE this coffee shop located in Irvine area! It's located in between a bunch of business buildings so may be a little bit hard to find, but once you find it, WORTH! They have the cutest drinks varying from lattes, drips, espresso drinks, matcha, etc and have the best combos and seasonal options as well. I tried the Lavender blueberry latte partially because its so beautiful :D and it was delicious!! They have non-dairy milk options for my fellow lactose intolerance peeps. Unfortunately not much seating inside for getting work done. The long lines itself takes up the majority of the store. I also didn't see much outlets and things but did see a few people propped up with their laptops. But there is a lot of seating available outside nearby the gorgeous, humungous fountain! Parking is in the nearby structure, they offer validation here! read more

Ive been wanting to try this coffee place for awhile now. Its located in the business plaza where you have to park in the structure to get to it. The worker recommended some drinks to us so thats what we got. We tried the strawberry alarm clock which had espresso and strawberry oat milk and the lavender fields which has matcha and blueberry lavender milk. Both drinks were a bit too sweet for us but the workers were nice enough to add more milk to it. I liked it better after byt next time i would tell them less sweet. Overall the place is super cute and the coffee was good and the service was great! Remember to get your parking validated as well...they validate for an hour. read more

For the first time in forever, I had a truly great strawberry matcha! I ordered the strawberry matcha with strawberry cold foam, and it did not disappoint. The coffee shop itself is super cute, and I loved sitting outside by the water fountains -- so peaceful and relaxing. It's honestly so rare to find actual good matcha, and this place nailed it. I'll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend if you want a delicious, refreshing matcha drink and a cozy spot to unwind read more

Dropped by to have coffee and brunch. In case you didn't know, they also provide a 1.5 hour free validation for parking! Also the other thing I learned is the bathroom is located in the lobby about two doors down. We ordered breakfast burrito, fried rice, kitmas latte and regular ice latte. The burrito was standard but we really enjoyed the fried rice. It was a mix of tomato jam, cilantro and bacon. The kitmas latte was not bad. It comes with cute latte art! But it does get a bit sweet near the end. I guess I should have mixed it well before drinking. Overall, with two coffees and two dishes, it was about $26-$27 a person. I would definitely drop by again if I was ever in the area. However, I would probably choose a coffee that's less sweet. read more

I got the thank you berry matcha and I only found it to be just ok. I wish there was a little more matcha flavor, it was lacking a bit for me. The staff was very nice and did give me a validation ticket but since this was my first time there, the parking was confusing and I couldn't stay as long as I initially wanted to since I didn't want to pay extra. read more

It took us forever to find this place but it's right next to the fountains. They validate parking but space is limited and it gets packed quickly. They have a lot of seating outside though. Strawberry alarm clock is creamy and more strawberry taste than coffee. But delicious. The thank you berry matcha was yummy as well. The matcha and strawberry go perfectly and the matcha is just the right amount of sweet and not grainy. read more

The matcha was so watery and bitter. The service was also super bitter, every single employee looked like they hated their job and just stared, no hi- nothing. Said thank you twice and they did not care to say a peep back and I know they heard cuz I was right in front of them. I'd have more care to tip to a robot. The location in Newport is better, at least they care to make sure the drink tastes good for $10 read more

10/10... I am always on the hunt for a good coffee shop. This spot did not disappoint. I ordered the ube coconut oatmilk topped with salted coconut cream... & I honestly can't wait to come back for more. I got a little lost finding this shop as it is located in the middle of a bunch of businesses. I parked in the parking garage and ended up paying about$8 for parking as we sat down and enjoyed our beverages.. I forgot to check to see if they validate parking so that's on me. There is plenty of outdoor seating + shaded areas. Overall, service was quick and the drink was delicious. Can't wait to come back read more

KIT Coffee - Ube coconut oat milk topped with salted coconut cream - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

My bestie and I have a tradition of grabbing coffee after our workout class, and we like to go to KIT after we go to our 6:30 pilates class. I think this KIT location is really convenient because it's tucked in a corporate park with lots of space to chat with friends, read, etc. either inside the coffee shop or outside. In addition, the parking is easy since there is a structure with 90 min. validation and plenty of charging stations if you need to charge your car like I do. The space is beautiful, and so are the baristas. They are friendly and can lift your mood if you're having a rough start to the morning. If you're a lavender lover like I am, you can't go wrong with the iced Lavender Fields or Lavender Skies and I get it with oat milk. The lavender flavor is just right and not too overpowering. I also tried the seasonal boysenberry latte today with the cream top. The flavor is light and not too sweet. However, I would've liked the cream top to be a bit thicker but it's still good. If you're hungry, the hot and sweet avocado toast with a fried egg is my favorite toast from KIT. Overall, KIT is a great place to "keep in touch" with your friends all while charging your Tesla :) read more

Very passionate about my pure enjoyment and happiness I have for this delicious coffee spot!!! The customer service today was outstanding and the super kind lady showed a genuine nature about herself. The place is clean and cozy for a quick stop for a coffee, a good read or some work. Prices may feel a little high but I can assure you will receive great quality. Great success!! I forgot to take a picture because I was so excited to eat my Avocado toast. read more

Had a bad first experience :( Paid parking or with validation. Drinks were just okay, great and cozy atmosphere though. In a fancy secluded area! Matcha latte - Did not love this, had to be sweetened with vanilla but it ended up just tasting like vanilla cream. Barely any matcha flavor. read more

This place is such a gem of a find! I got the creamsicle matcha and it was honestly one of the best matcha drinks I've had. They have a lot of other unique latte flavors and non coffee drinks. The location is in a business hub and parking can be a bit tricky since it's in a structure. The upside is that they validate for 1.5 hours which is a bonus. The coffee shop interior itself is very cute and welcoming. There isn't much seating, maybe 2 small tables so I wouldn't bank on studying here but there is a ton of seating outside. read more

kit coffee is a classic! I mostly go for their iced very berry matcha with whole milk. I could drink it every single day. I don't know what they put in the strawberry puree but it's working because I dream of it every night before bed. their pumpkin syrup is also incredible and tastes so homemade! read more

Great location in a business center near the Sonesta Irvine. There's some semblance of nature, given the running water, patches of grass and some shade here and there. The interior is pretty modern and there's multiple lounge sofa things that you can sit on while waiting for your order. There was hardly a line so it was quick... Smoked Avocado Toast with bacon, cherry tomato, paprika, lemon zest and chives... it's packed with fresh bacon bits, which compliments the fresh avocado to no end... the toast can be a little thicker, it wasn't sturdy enough to hold the toppings. Cilantro Fried Rice comes with bacon (of course), scrambled egg (hardly), tomato jam, grilled onion, parmesan cheese and lemon zest. Comes with spicy sauce on the side... since I was in a business meeting, I didn't wolf it down, which I felt like doing. Rice grains a bit on the al dente side though. Cappuccino Comes in a glass, but creatively topped off... otherwise, pretty regular. Would love to try their other menu items next time, like the arugula salad or breakfast burrito. That's all... read more

I'm not sure if it's just me but everytime I come here the cashiers are always in a bad mood and not very friendly, I always feel like I'm being a disturbance when I order- the drink itself was ok, I would've expected more of a matcha flavor if im paying 9.5 dollars for a double matcha drink but the actual matcha flavor was underwhelming and overpowered by the sugar. read more

I asked for less ice in my latte because the way they make it is wrong. They fill the cup with extra ice, then add milk and coffee, which leaves you with a much smaller latte than the medium size you're paying for. For the price they charge, you expect to get a full cup, not just a lot of ice. This café is located under a tower with lots of offices and businesses, so it shouldn't be so expensive. However, the prices for everything are higher than anywhere else, and the quality doesn't justify the cost. On top of that, the attitude of the lady with short black hair behind the cashier is not good. I started going there for 2-3 weeks, but I realized that my mood and good energy in the early morning are really important to me. I can't enjoy my coffee with this kind of attitude, especially when I'm paying a premium price. read more

(IG: foodwithdeni) This place has been on my list for the longest time but by the time I ended work this location would be close. Luckily I adjusted my work schedule and finally had the chance to visit! I went to the Irvine location and definitely got lost but it was a good afternoon stroll. I ordered the Horchata Matcha b/c I rarely see that on the menu but once I ordered I saw the Purple Dream aka UBE so i'll definitely be back. They have a small seating area but more outside seating since it's located near corporate offices. I recommend parking in the closer parking structure b/c I parked in a corporate one & had to walk a bit. This location is open M-F until 4pm, but they have a Newport location that has weekends & longer hours FEATURING-- *Horchata Matcha read more
